媒介技术的发展压缩了时间与空间,社交媒体的崛起使我们在社交网络环境中被来自各个时间和空间维度的信息裹挟,由此衍生并显化了错失焦虑现象,即用户对最新信息的渴望与焦虑心理。本研究讨论错失焦虑对社交媒体使用程度的影响,并从心理需求满足和负面情绪角度出发,探讨错失焦虑作为一种社交时代的新状态出现的原因。研究采用网络调查的方式,派发并回收了303份问卷。研究发现,错失焦虑对社交媒体使用有显著的促进作用,错失焦虑越高,社交媒体使用程度越高。此外,在成因方面,社交焦虑和孤独感对错失焦虑有显著的影响。社交焦虑与错失焦虑呈正相关,即社交焦虑越高,错失焦虑越高。孤独感与错失焦虑呈负相关,即孤独感越低,错失焦虑越高。
