000161658 5203_ $$aInternet have become a fundamental part of university student's lives, where emotions play an essential role and problematic Internet use (PIU) is a worrying phenomenon in this population and has become widespread worldwide. One aspect that may be essential to know about this phenomenon is the impact of emotions online and whether socio-emotional e-competencies facilitate adaptive behaviors in virtual environments for men and women; however, not enough studies have been conducted in this regard. Hence, this research aims to fill this gap by analyzing whether online emotional content and socioemotional e-competences predict problematic Internet use in the university population from Mexico and Spain, according to gender. Participants were 1524 university students (50.2 % Spain vs. 49.8 % Mexico) with mean age M = 19.84 (SD = 3.90) in Spain and M = 19.63 (SD = 1.70) in Mexico. The findings of multiple linear regressions show that online facilitation and emotional expression are the most critical risk factors for both sexes and countries. Emotional e-independence is a protective factor against PIU for both sexes, especially in men in both countries and Mexican women; e-self-control of impulsivity is a specific factor in the prediction of PIU, while in Mexican men, it is emotional e-regulation. Research contributions and educational implications are discussed.
