外向性对感知到的朋友支持的影响——社交网站使用时间的调节作用

Time Spent on Social Network Sites as the Moderator of the Relationship between Extroversion and Perceived Social Support from Friends

本文以北京市313名大学生为被试,采用《简版大五人格量表》中外向性量表和《感知到的朋友支持量表》,结合自编社交网站使用调查问卷,探讨外向性、社交网站使用时间对感知到的朋友支持的影响。结果表明:(1)控制性别影响后,外向性和社交网站的使用时间都能正向预测感知到的朋友支持;(2)社交网站使用时间在外向性影响感知到的朋友支持的过程中有调节作用。内向的个体使用社交网站的时间越长,感知到朋友支持越多;对于外向的个体,使用时间对感知到的朋友支持影响不显著。结论了社交网站对内向的个体存在的社交补偿效应。

Social Network Sites(SNS)provides users a virtual space for interpersonal communication which is not constrained by time and location.Previous studies based on off-line interpersonal communication revealed that extroverts perceived more social supports than introverts.Do Extroverts still remain their advantages in getting more support from friends?313 students from a university in Beijing were investigated in term of the relationship among Extroversion,Time Spent on Social Network Sites(SNS)and Perceived Social Support from Friends.The results were as follows:(1)Extroversion and time spent on SNS could positively predict perceived social support from friends.(2)Time spent on SNS moderated the association between Extroversion and Perceived Social Support from Friends,in which it could positively predict Perceived Social Support from Friends for Introverts,but could not predict that for Extroverts.Conclusion:The moderator effects actually supported social compensation theory,which argued that those who had disadvantages in off-line interaction could be compensated on SNS.
