CABALLO VILLAR, M.B., GRADAÍLLE PERNAS, R. y FORMOSO SILVA, M., 2024. El ocio de la adolescencia: la compleja gestión y armonización de sus tiempos. Cauriensia: revista anual de Ciencias Eclesiásticas, no. 19, ISSN 1886-4945.

The aim of the paper is to explore the difficulties of adolescents in articulating their daily lives (school, extracurricular, personal, and family leisure time), considering the variables of gender and grade. It is based on data from a questionnaire constructed within the framework of a participatory action-research experience with adolescents from the City Council of Teo (A Coruña), an initiative of the CON_TIEMPOs project (RTI2018-094764-B-I00). Incident non-probability sampling allowed reaching a sample of 456 adolescents aged 12-18 years, students in compulsory secondary education. The results show gender differences in the quantity and quality of free time and personal and family leisure time (less in the case of girls), as well as an increase in difficulties in harmonising study time and tasks with leisure time as one moves up the academic ladder. The demand is to reduce the time pressure on this group; also, to reorient public policies to promote times and spaces for learning responsible self-management of free time and access to valuable leisure.

In the digital age, mobile devices are reconfiguring adolescent identity, raising fundamental ontological and epistemological questions. This article delves into the philosophical theories of Gilles Lipovetsky and Bernard Stiegler on this matter, employing a methodology that includes an analysis of Lipovetsky's hypermodernity and hyperindividualism, as well as Stiegler's cognitive proletarianization. The key findings suggest that constant connectivity and consumerism shape adolescent self-perception, while digitalization disrupts psychic and cognitive structures, fostering technological dependency. Among the study's limitations is its philosophical focus, which may not encompass all practical dimensions of the phenomenon. However, the primary contribution lies in the integration of Lipovetsky's and Stiegler's theories to understand the transformation of adolescent identity in the digital era.

In recent years, child and adolescent mental health has been negatively affected by various factors, such as the distance between the home and specialized centers that provide psychological care to minors, the lack of care resources, among others. In the usual clinical work, a need for therapeutic resources in psychological care for minors has been detected, due to the high social demand that already exists, which responds to the shortage of specialized services. For this reason, online psychological treatments aimed at children and adolescents are becoming increasingly common and have proven to be effective for various mental health problems. These programs, for the most part, have been designed with the purpose of being implemented in the general population, and, to a lesser extent, have been aimed at children with emotional problems or in special psychosocial situations. To this end, the Online Emotional Self-Regulation Improvement (MAM@) program was developed, based on emotional recognition and expression through different modules such as introduction to emotions, happiness, sadness, fear, anger, guilt, affection and empathy. This program is aimed at minors between 12 and 15 years of age, who are at psychosocial risk and present various psychological, emotional and/or behavioral alterations, related to various stressful situations.
