Abstract

In the last decade, social network sites (SNS) have a major attendance in our everyday lives. Numerous studies have explored the antecedences and consequences of this novel phenomenon. The current study is yet another attempt in this direction. In this research we seek to explore the role of personality tendencies, namely the attachment system, in individuals' affect, cognitions, and behavior on what is presently considered as the most popular SNS - "Facebook". Over the years studies have continuously demonstrated that attachment theory is a relevant framework for understanding human behavior and has proven attachment tendencies to be significantly associated with quality of close relationships and daily social interactions. Since today virtual communication and social networks are capturing dominant aspects of social relationships, the linkage to attachment theory is evident. Hence, we approached 190 Israeli young adults, and asked them about their habits and daily routines on Facebook. We also measured their cognition and emotion concerning Facebook. Results show that attachment insecurity is associated with global orientations and emotions towards Facebook and that people develop attachment relationships with their Facebook network. We discuss the associations between attachment and virtual communication and its application for future theory and research. 
成人依恋类型在网络社交网络情感、认知和行为中的作用
在过去的十年里,社交网站(SNS)在我们的日常生活中扮演着重要的角色。许多研究探索了这种新现象的前因后果。目前的研究是在这个方向上的又一次尝试。在这项研究中,我们试图探索人格倾向(即依恋系统)在个人对目前最流行的社交网络“Facebook”的影响、认知和行为中的作用。多年来的研究不断证明,依恋理论是理解人类行为的一个相关框架,并已证明依恋倾向与亲密关系和日常社会互动的质量显著相关。如今,虚拟通信和社交网络占据了社会关系的主导地位,因此与依恋理论的联系是显而易见的。因此,我们接触了190名以色列年轻人,询问他们在Facebook上的习惯和日常生活。我们还测量了他们对Facebook的认知和情绪。结果表明,依恋不安全感与Facebook的全球取向和情绪有关,人们与Facebook网络建立了依恋关系。本文讨论了依恋与虚拟交流的关系及其在未来理论和研究中的应用。
