Such aspects impact upon gender inequality and different types of violence towards women. The present article aimsto examine the behaviour of adolescents from  Huelva  with  regards  to  ambivalent  sexism  towards  women  on  social networks  and  their influence on health.Further, we seek to uncover adolescent’s perceptions with regards to gender differences  in  the  use  of  social  networks,the  relationship  between  sexism  and  women's emotional well-being was observed.The study sample was formed by young people aged between 14 and16years who were residing in  rural  and  urban  zones  in  the  south  of  Spain.  A  mixed  methods  approach  was  taken.  At  a quantitative  level,  a  sample  of  400  young  people  was  recruited.
