Abstract

The current study was designed based on the two-process model of the relatedness need to investigate the cyber-psychological mechanisms in the relationship between relatedness frustration and social networking sites (SNSs) behaviors. Chinese college students (N = 494; 190 males; Mage = 18.81 ± .92) were recruited to complete online questionnaires to measure relatedness frustration, relatedness satisfaction, affiliation motivation, and WeChat engagement. Path analyses indicated that relatedness frustration was directly related to defensive WeChat engagement and indirectly related to WeChat involvement and active engagement via affiliation motivation. Affiliation motivation played a significant mediating role, with the relationship between affiliation motivation and WeChat involvement being moderated by relatedness satisfaction. Specifically, this relationship existed only when the level of relatedness satisfaction was high. This study helps to understand motivational coping mechanisms among people with different levels of relatedness satisfaction in relation to SNSs after experiencing relatedness frustration. Potential limitations and future directions of this paper to the cyber-psychology literature are discussed.

人际关系挫折、人际关系动机和人际关系投入的关系受人际关系满意度的调节

本研究基于人际关系需求的双过程模型，探讨人际关系挫折与社交网站行为关系的网络心理机制。中国大学生(N = 494;190男性;(= 18.81±0.92)，通过在线问卷调查的方式测量人际关系挫败感、人际关系满意度、人际关系动机和微信参与度。通径分析表明，关联挫折与防御性微信参与直接相关，并通过隶属动机间接与微信参与和主动参与相关。关联动机在微信投入中起显著的中介作用，关联满意度对关联动机与微信投入的关系起调节作用。具体来说，这种关系只有在亲缘关系满意度较高时才存在。本研究有助于了解不同人际关系满意度人群在经历人际关系挫折后对社交网络的动机应对机制。本文对网络心理学文献的潜在局限性和未来发展方向进行了讨论。
