Abstract

Contemporary mothers use social networking sites to seek information, compare themselves to other mothers, assess their performance, and express emotions. This content analysis explores and compares popular sites for mothers – forums, blogs, and Facebook groups. Coders analyzed 984 posts and 1730 associated comments for topics, expressed emotions, and social comparison. Analysis showed that the most common topic of conversation was the role of the mother, which included expectations of motherhood. Further, mothers communicated horizontal and downward comparison with little upward comparison and expressed negative emotions more often with greater diversity than positive emotions. Finally, the platforms varied in function and emotional tenor. The discussion addresses the effective use of these sites.

母亲社交网站的社会比较与情感

当代母亲使用社交网站来寻求信息，将自己与其他母亲进行比较，评估自己的表现，并表达情绪。这项内容分析探索并比较了母亲们的热门网站——论坛、博客和Facebook群组。编码人员分析了984篇帖子和1730条相关评论的主题、表达的情感和社会比较。分析表明，最常见的话题是母亲的角色，其中包括对母亲的期望。此外，母亲们进行横向和向下的比较，而很少进行向上的比较，并且表达负面情绪的频率比表达积极情绪的频率更高。最后，平台的功能和情感基调各不相同。讨论讨论了如何有效利用这些网站。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
