差序格局下社会资本在大学生社交网站使用与孤独感之间的链式中介作用

The Chain-Mediated Role of Social Capital Between the Use of Social Networking Sites and Loneliness of College Students in the Differential Mode of Association

探索在中国传统社会中的差序格局下,线上粘结型社会资本和桥接型社会资本在大学生社交网站使用与孤独感之间的链式中介作用。随机抽取801名在校大学生作为被试,采用社交网站使用问卷、社会资本量表、孤独感量表对其进行调查。结果发现:(1)社交网站使用与粘结资本、桥接资本呈显著正相关,粘结资本与桥接资本呈显著正相关,情感孤独与社交网站使用、粘结资本、桥接资本呈显著负相关;(2)社交网站使用对孤独感没有直接的预测作用,但能通过三条路径间接影响大学生孤独感:通过粘结资本的独立作用;通过桥接资本的独立作用;通过粘结资本和桥接资本的链式中介作用。研究结果提示大学生在使用社交网站的过程中,充分利用线上社会资本来降低孤独感。

This study explores the chain-mediated role of online bonding capital and bridging capital between the use of social networking sites and loneliness in the differential mode of association in Chinese traditional society.A total of 801 college students were randomly selected and investigated by using the social network questionnaire,social capital scale and loneliness scale.The results show that:(1)The use of social network is positively correlated with bonding capital and bridging capital,and the use of social network and bridging capital is negatively correlated with emotional loneliness;(2)The use of social networking sites does not directly predict loneliness,but it can indirectly affect the loneliness of college students in three ways:through the independent role of bonding capital and bridging capital separately,and through the chain-type intermediary function of bonding capital and bridging capital.The findings suggest that college students should make full use of online social capital to reduce loneliness when using social networking sites.
