Therefore, the objective of the research was to determine the attitudes that influence social networks through the use of the coping model of user adaptation in digital platforms in the cooperative sector of the province of Tungurahua. To do this, a survey was applied to 281 members who were evaluated using the factors perceived opportunity, social influence, perceived control, enjoyment, self-improvement, fear, trust, and digital adaptation. The use of the exploratory factorial analysis method made it possible to determine the degree of correlation between the system of variables. The results revealed that the partners have perceived a positive effect on the part of the organizations according to the perceived opportunity, the social influence, the perceived control, and enjoyment. It was concluded that trust and fear are negative adaptation attitudes towards digital platforms, since there is fear when interacting between company and partner, since they show danger of exposure of their personal information.
