摘要

许多人认为,任何社交媒体都会因为频繁使用而伤害孩子。本研究旨在检验这些假设。它提出并测试了一个模型,该模型考虑了两种替代途径——一种是消极的,一种是积极的——社交媒体通过这两种途径影响青少年自我报告的主观幸福感。本研究使用传教士和海耶斯过程模型对来自美国各地的585名青少年收集的数据进行路径分析。研究结果表明,在消极的道路上,频繁使用社交媒体会导致更大的社交媒体风险,最终会削弱青少年的幸福感。此外,也许同时,频繁使用社交媒体会导致社交媒体的使用,从而增强青少年的幸福感。该研究建议父母、政策制定者和平台鼓励青少年使用社交媒体与朋友联系,同时引导他们远离危险行为的途径。独创性/价值调查结果显示,更多地使用社交媒体并不一定有害,但某些类型的使用更多是坏事,而其他类型的使用更多是好事。

Two roads diverge in cyberspace: dual but opposing social media pathways affecting teens’ well-being
Purpose Many believe that any social media harms kids because of frequent use. This study aims to examine these assumptions. It proposes and tests a model that considers two alternative pathways – one negative and one positive – through which social media affects teens’ self-reported subjective well-being. Design/methodology/approach This research used Preacher and Hayes process modeling to conduct path analysis on data collected on 585 teenagers from across the USA. Findings Results showed that along a negative pathway, frequent social media use leads to greater risky social media engagement that ultimately diminishes adolescent’s sense of well-being. Also, and perhaps simultaneously, frequent social media use leads to socially-connected social media use that enhances adolescent’s sense of well-being. Practical implications The research recommends ways parents, policymakers and platforms can encourage teens to use social media to connect with friends while guiding them away from pathways exposing them to risky behaviors. Originality/value Findings show more social media use is not necessarily harmful, but more of some types is bad, while more of others is good.
