Resumen
ARAYA-CASTILLO, Luis y PEDREROS-GAJARDO, Margarita. Cellphone usage among poor Chilean teenagers. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.1, pp.109-121. ISSN 1692-715X.
This study examines the value that Chilean teenagers low socio-economic status give to the purchase, use and possession of a cell phone. The qualitative approach used in this paper doesn't just allow an understanding of the needs that teenager are trying to satisfy, but also allows the identification of the socio-cultural factors behind their purchasing behavior. This paper is worthy because it is not just a sociological characterization of the purchasing behavior of teenagers of low socio-economic status in Chile, but it also provides a powerful tool to understand the social problems related to this issue.
