摘要

背景:越来越多的观察和证据表明,数字化进程可能对人类思想和自我的发展产生深远影响,并带来潜在的心理健康后果。自我分化在人的身份认同和自我概念的形成中起着重要的作用,被认为与数字化进程有关。目的:探讨数字化与现实世界和虚拟世界中真实自我的个人属性之间的关系。方法:选取397名年龄在15 ~ 24岁的社区参与者,连续3个月。评估指标包括数字化(智能手机使用时间、休闲上网时间和首次拥有智能手机的年龄)、智能手机成瘾、现实世界和虚拟世界中实际自我的14个选定个人属性、精神症状和人格特征。对现实自我与虚拟世界中个人属性的相似性进行了欧几里得距离分析。结果:目前的主要发现是物理真实自我和虚拟真实自我的个人属性相似度与智能手机使用时间、智能手机成瘾以及焦虑症状分别呈负相关(p结论:目前的研究结果为在物理和虚拟世界中保持一致的自我、调节智能手机的使用时间、防止智能手机成瘾和保护心理健康的重要性提供了实证证据。

Exploring the Differentiation of Self-Concepts in the Physical and Virtual Worlds Using Euclidean Distance Analysis and Its Relationship With Digitalization and Mental Health Among Young People: Cross-Sectional Study.

Exploring the Differentiation of Self-Concepts in the Physical and Virtual Worlds Using Euclidean Distance Analysis and Its Relationship With Digitalization and Mental Health Among Young People: Cross-Sectional Study.

Exploring the Differentiation of Self-Concepts in the Physical and Virtual Worlds Using Euclidean Distance Analysis and Its Relationship With Digitalization and Mental Health Among Young People: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Increasing observation and evidence suggest that the process of digitalization could have profound impact to the development of human mind and self, with potential mental health consequences. Self-differentiation is important in human identity and self-concept formation, which is believed to be involved in the process of digitalization.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between digitalization and personal attributes in the actual selves in the physical and virtual worlds.

Methods: A community cohort of 397 participants aged 15 to 24 years old was recruited consecutively over about 3 months. Assessment was conducted upon the indicators of digitalization (smartphone use time, leisure online time, and age of first smartphone ownership), smartphone addiction, 14 selected personal attributes in the actual selves in the physical and virtual worlds, psychiatric symptomatology and personality traits. Euclidean distance analysis between the personal attributes in the actual selves in the physical and virtual worlds for the similarities of the 2 selves was performed in the analysis.

Results: The current primary findings are the negative correlations between the similarity of the personal attributes in the physical actual self and virtual actual self, and smartphone use time, smartphone addiction as well as anxiety symptomatology respectively (P<.05 to P<.01).

Conclusions: The current findings provide empirical evidence for the importance of maintaining a congruent self across the physical and virtual worlds, regulating smartphone use time, preventing smartphone addiction, and safeguarding mental health.
