Abstract

ABSTRACT Socially excluded individuals often use media to cope with their feelings of loneliness, restore threatened needs, and regulate their emotions. However, social exclusion experiences have often been studied from a social-psychological perspective, with little consideration of media-specific characteristics. Thus, this paper aims to identify which different media applications individuals use to overcome social exclusion experiences and how effective this is in terms of need restoration and emotion regulation. A systematic review yielded 119 studies investigating 274 coping tools and 134 underlying strategies. Results indicated that media represent multifunctional tools that enable behavioral approach, behavioral avoidance, cognitive approach, and cognitive avoidance coping. Overall, using these tools was effective in 59% of all cases, with different strategies being linked to more or less effectiveness. By highlighting the theoretical implications of these findings, this paper provides six suggestions that can guide future research within this field.

媒体是从社会排斥经历中恢复的有力应对工具?媒介需求恢复与情绪调节的系统综述

摘要被社会排斥的个体经常使用媒体来应对他们的孤独感，恢复受威胁的需求，并调节他们的情绪。然而，社会排斥经历往往是从社会心理学的角度来研究的，很少考虑媒体的特定特征。因此，本文旨在确定个人使用哪些不同的媒体应用程序来克服社会排斥体验，以及这在需求恢复和情绪调节方面的有效性。一项系统综述产生了119项研究，调查了274种应对工具和134种基本策略。结果表明，媒体代表了多功能工具，可以实现行为方法、行为回避、认知方法和认知回避应对。总的来说，使用这些工具在59%的病例中是有效的，不同的策略或多或少会产生效果。通过强调这些发现的理论含义，本文提供了六条建议，可以指导该领域的未来研究。

期刊介绍： Media Psychology is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to publishing theoretically-oriented empirical research that is at the intersection of psychology and media communication. These topics include media uses, processes, and effects. Such research is already well represented in mainstream journals in psychology and communication, but its publication is dispersed across many sources. Therefore, scholars working on common issues and problems in various disciplines often cannot fully utilize the contributions of kindred spirits in cognate disciplines.
