The research was of correlational level and non-experimental design. The technique used was the survey and two questionnaires were applied using Microsoft Forms. The universe was constituted by the undergraduate students enrolled in 2021 in two national universities and a private one. A sample was used for convenience. 109 students from the Schools of Communication of the Federico Villarreal National University (Lima), National University of Piura (Piura,) and the Santo Toribio of Mogrovejo University (Chiclayo) participated.
