RESUMO:

Group life is a determining factor for the life of various animal species, especially Homo sapiens, which is a social animal par excellence. In recent years we have had a new way of socializing with the arrival of online networks. In this context, we aim to investigate whether individual factors such as age, personality and happiness influence the organization of online and offline support networks. We conducted the research in public institutions of the capital (Natal / Rio Grande do Norte-RN) and in the interior (Pendências / RN), with 297 participants, between 12 and 68 years old, who were grouped in adolescents, adults and adults. Through questionnaires (socioeconomic, Reduced Markers for Personality Assessment, Subjective Happiness Scale and a Social Networks Questionnaire), we showed the size and frequency of contact of the off-line support network, being greater in relation to the support network online for the three age groups. Among the age groups, the size of the online support network has a strong relationship with the offline network. Thus, in general, people who are part of the online network are also part of the offline network, although each age group has its particularities, which will be pointed out in the present work. Regarding subjective happiness, it is not influenced by the place where the person lives (interior or capital); is influenced by offline emotional proximity, although the effect disappears when age groups are separated; correlates negatively with the frequency of on- and off-line contact in emergent adults; and is influenced by the size of offline networks in the three age groups, but the size of the online network only influences the happiness of adolescents and emerging adults. Regarding personality characteristics, more neurotic adolescents present larger online sizes and those who score more in conscientiousness present a greater emotional proximity offline; more open emergent adults feel less emotionally close in such relationships; and more extroverted adults exhibit greater emotional closeness offline. In general, we find behavioral differences between the generations, which we understand to be explained by cultural evolution.
