Résumé documentaire — langue originale

Online gaming has become one of the primary social environments for adolescents in Ecuador. For many young people, gaming platforms are not merely entertainment spaces but environments where identity, belonging, and peer relationships are constructed. However, these same platforms incorporate interaction dynamics that may compromise cybersecurity and privacy, especially when digital knowledge does not translate into consistent self-protection practices. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between cybersecurity knowledge and privacy protection practices among Ecuadorian adolescents using gaming platforms, integrating a correlational empirical study with a systematic literature review. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 adolescents aged 12 to 18. A structured questionnaire validated by expert judgment was applied, achieving adequate reliability levels (? = 0.83 and ? = 0.79). In parallel, a systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines (Page et al., 2021). Results revealed a moderate level of cybersecurity knowledge (M = 3.13), partial implementation of privacy protection measures, and high exposure to contact with strangers (79%). A statistically significant moderate positive correlation was found between cybersecurity knowledge and privacy protection (r = 0.42; p < 0.001). Findings indicate that strengthening cybersecurity knowledge contributes to improved digital protection behaviors, yet it does not fully eliminate vulnerability. Effective adolescent protection in gaming environments requires an integrated approach that combines critical digital education, context-specific regulation, and responsible platform design.
