Perception and self-assessment of digital skills and gaming among youth in Spain

The data report offers a dataset of how the young Spanish people perceive and evaluate their own digital skills, showing the confidence level of their Social skills, their Mobile skills, their Information/navigation skills, their Operational skills and, finally, their Creative skills. Our data also reports about the use and the typology of video games in which youth are involved. This data shows how young people evaluate their relation with interactive and digital media and supports knowledge to understand such interaction in the context of skills and abilities. Our data also provides socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics, including gender, age, marital status, education, occupation and habitat/residence for Spanish population between 16 and 35 years. The data was acquired by interviewing 1012 individuals using computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) in May 2017.
