摘要

缺乏社会交往与高度的孤独感有关,反过来,心理健康状况也较差。尽管人们在独自一人的情况下也会与他人进行虚拟交流,但社交互动-孤独-幸福的关系在面对面和虚拟互动之间以及年轻人和老年人之间是否有所不同,这方面的研究还相对不足。这项为期21天的日记研究对年轻人(n = 91;法师= 22.87)及以上(n = 107;image = 64.53)新冠肺炎大流行初期(2020年3月至5月)的香港参与者。我们发现,较短的面对面互动时间对较差的心理健康有显著的间接影响,这是通过增加孤独感而产生的,这种孤独感只在年轻人的人际层面上存在,而在老年人的人际层面上存在。与孤独感无关,花更多时间与他人进行虚拟互动与更好的心理健康只有在老年人中才有关联。综上所述,虽然不同年龄组的机制可能不同,但面对面的互动仍然是减少孤独感和增强心理健康的有效方式,即使在不鼓励这种互动的时候(例如,大流行病)。虽然虚拟互动并不能减少孤独感,但它对老年人幸福感的积极影响揭示了在成年后期促进技术接受的效用。

The mediating role of loneliness on relations between face-to-face and virtual interactions and psychological well-being across age: A 21-day diary study
Lack of social interaction is associated with a heightened sense of loneliness and, in turn, poorer psychological well-being. Despite the prevalence of communicating with others virtually even when physically alone, whether the social interaction–loneliness–well-being relationship is different between face-to-face and virtual interactions and between younger and older adults is relatively understudied. This 21-day diary study examined this question among younger (n = 91; Mage = 22.87) and older (n = 107; Mage = 64.53) Hong Kong participants during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (March–May 2020). We found significant indirect effects of shorter face-to-face interaction time on poorer psychological well-being via a heightened sense of loneliness at the within-person level only among younger adults and at the between-person level only among older adults. Independent of loneliness, spending more time with others on virtual interactions was associated with better psychological well-being only among older adults. Taken together, while the mechanisms may be different across age groups, face-to-face interaction remains an effective way to reduce loneliness and enhance psychological well-being even at times when it is discouraged (e.g., pandemic). Although virtual interaction does not reduce loneliness, its positive impact on older adults’ well-being sheds light on the utility of promoting technological acceptance in late adulthood.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
