社交网站中的自我呈现对青少年友谊质量的影响:积极反馈的中介作用

随着网络的日益普及,社交网站已成为人们活动的新领域和人际交往的新媒介。为探讨社交网站中不同的自我呈现方式、积极反馈与友谊质量的关系,采用问卷法对来自武汉市两所普通中学的817名10~19岁的学生进行调查,其中,男生423人,女生366人。研究采用偏差矫正的百分位Bootstrap法,使用Hayes(2012)编制的SPSS宏对中介效应进行检验,结果发现:(1)真实自我呈现和积极自我呈现与积极反馈、友谊质量显著正相关;(2)社交网站中的真实自我呈现既能直接预测青少年的友谊质量,也能通过积极反馈的中介作用对友谊质量产生影响,而积极自我呈现对青少年的友谊质量没有直接预测作用,只能通过积极反馈的完全中介作用对友谊质量产生影响。

The Effect of Self-presentation in Online Social Networking Sites on Adolescents' Friendship Quality: The mediating Role of Positive Feedback

With the development of the Internet, social networking sites become a new field of online activity and new media of social interaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among self-presentation in social networking sites, positive feedback and friendship quality. Questionnaires were completed among 817 middle school students from Wuhan aged 10-19423 male and 366 female. We used process written by Andrew F. Hayes (2012) to test mediation effect of positive feedback on the relationship between self-presentation and friendship quality. The results indicated that:(1) positive self-presentation and honest self-presentation were significantly positively related to positive feedback and friendship quality. (2) In social networking sites, honest self-presentation not only directly positively predicted adolescents' friendship quality, but also had an indirect effect on friendship quality through positive feedback; while positive self-presentation only had an indirect effect on friendship quality through positive feedback.
