Cultura digital, ciberacoso, universidad, salud mental, Ciudadanía digitalResumen
El presente estudio se estructuró mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre cultura digital y percepciones del ciberacoso en estudiantes universitarios. El propósito fue analizar la relación entre cultura digital y percepciones del ciberacoso en estudiantes universitarios del Ecuador. De acuerdo con los lineamientos de PRISMA 2020, se seleccionaron 25 artículos publicados entre 2020 y 2025 de bases indexadas (Scopus, Web of Science, Springer y Scielo), priorizando evidencias empíricas y teóricas que abordaran el fenómeno en contextos educativos. Los resultados revelaron que la cultura digital constituye un eje estructural para comprender las nuevas formas de violencia simbólica y emocional mediadas por la conectividad y la exposición. Las percepciones estudiantiles evidenciaron la fragmentación de la ética y la convivencia digital, donde la alfabetización mediática, la regulación emocional y la presión social determinan la tolerancia o denuncia del ciberacoso. Desde la dimensión psicológica, se confirmó la correlación entre ciberacoso, ansiedad, depresión e ideación suicida, acentuada por la ausencia de estrategias institucionales y acompañamiento. Finalmente, se identificó un vacío normativo en el marco jurídico ecuatoriano que limita la tipificación del acoso digital y la construcción de entornos seguros.
