Sumario:The relationship between social skills and social media addiction is a topic of debate in psychology, as deficiencies in social skills may be a risk factor for mental health. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between social skills and social media addiction among university students at Universidad Peruana Unión, Tarapoto, in 2024. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational scope was employed. The population included 2,109 students, from which a sample of 328 participants was selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection utilized the Social Skills Scale (EHS) and an adaptation of the Social Media Addiction Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 statistical software, employing Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient. The results showed no significant relationship (p < 0.05) between social skills and social media addiction. However, there was an inverse relationship (r = -0.114; -0.129) between anger or disagreement expression and the ability to say no and end interactions. It is concluded that social media addiction is more associated with difficulties in managing negative emotions and setting boundaries, having a negative impact on social skills.
