手机媒介对用户社会资本的影响──基于日本实证研究的启示与论证

Influences of Mobile Media on Users’Social Capital——Inspiration and Argumentation Based on Empirical Research in Japan

社会资本的完善将有利于建立和谐、互信的社会网络关系,而手机媒介对社会资本产生的影响是多方面的。日本的相关实证研究表明手机媒介并未有效完善社会资本,且在某些方面更容易造成人际交往的狭隘化。日本实证研究的结论是否适用于世界上手机用户数量最多的中国,且如何利用手机媒介完善社会资本就显得尤为重要,通过调查分析可证实手机对社会资本起着正反两个方面的作用,有必要对其消极的影响做出对策,积极改善手机的社会作用。

The improved social capital will help to establish harmonious social networks with mutual trust, and influences of mobile media on social capital are manifold. Some of Japan’s empirical studies show that the mobile media doesn’t effectively improve social capital and in some respects it more easily leads to narrowed interpersonal communication. As the largest number of mobile phone users in the world, how to improve social capital through mobile media is particularly important in China. Through the investigation, the study results can confirm that mobile phone plays both positive and negative roles in social capital. And it is necessary to make strategies to deal with negative impact and actively improve social functions of mobile phone.
