- Abstract
Social networks are a reference model of communication for the Spanish youth and the preferred digital youth leisure activity. The objective of this study was to determine the most important leisure activities published on social networks by Spanish youths, identifying the associated sociodemographic characteristics. The sample consisted of 1,764 postcompulsory secondary education Spanish students. All territorial areas if the Spanish state were represented by the participants. The most important leisure activities, the number and type of the most important leisure activities shared on social networks, the sex of the student and the territorial area of each young person were measured. 64.2% of Spanish post-compulsory secondary school students share the practice of at least one of their three main leisure activities on social networks. Festivals and celebrations were the most shared leisure activity. There were significant differences related to the sex and geographical area of residence. Women share more on social networks than men. The students who give more importance to tourism, festivals and digital activities are those who most share their leisure. The conclusions offer keys to educational intervention in social networks as a priority model of communication for post-compulsory secondary education Spanish students. This study is very useful for agents involved in the promotion of Spanish youth leisure.
