Beliefs of psychology students about the use of information and communication technologies. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.1, pp.25-44.

A study about the beliefs of Psychology students from six Chilean universities in relation to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is presented; goals on beliefs, valued as media or aims are considered. A qualitative study was employed, where 76 Psychology students were part of, from public and private institutions. In order to set the beliefs, an ideographic matrix was used, which registered opinions about the relation between informatics and psychology, with a cause for that reason. The analysis consisted of a first stage of construction of categories, through open coding; on the second stage the raising of the structure of goals was carried out, through the analysis of the reference of links amongst categories, which would correspond to the model of beliefs regarding ICT. The results show seven categories, highlighting as the basis for the ICT use, the entitled Comfort and speed, as well as a purpose goal entitled Support on psychological tasks, which also is, the most abstractly valued. It is concluded that the students possess an instrumental representation of ICT, just as support media to the psychological activities, which is accepted and socially valued, obstructing its inclusion on psychology as a development and investigation field.
