Abstract
n this article we apply a secondary analysis on the micro-data provided by the study 2,889 of the Spanish Center for Sociological Research. The main objective is to observe if there is a correlation between young people’s Internet use and their political practices. Specifically, the analyzed variables allow us to study three important aspects: 1 ) the correlation between the degree of political participation and the frequency of Internet use, 2 ) the relation between online and offline political participation, and 3 ) the existence of differences in online political participation with respect of socio-demographic variables. Among the results we can highlight the existence of a statistically significant relation between a higher frequency of Internet use and a greater online and offline political involvement.
