A Study of Facebook Usage for Teenagers to Relieve Emotional Stress on the Basis of the Social Cognitive Perspective

[[abstract]]隨著資訊科技的蓬勃發展，各式網路服務不斷推陳出新，從早期電子郵件、BBS、部落格、微軟MSN、Yahoo即時通服務，一直到最近幾年，社群網站大肆崛起，如臉書、推特、噗浪等。這些社群平台提供的服務大大地改變人類的生活模式與行為。在眾多社群網站當中，又以臉書(facebook)最受台灣使用者青睞。台灣使用臉書的成長率是世界第一，臉書用戶以年青的學生族群為大宗，可以想見，臉書對學生的影響甚鉅。本研究以社會認知理論的概念為基礎，探討國中青少年使用臉書對於個人情緒壓力調適之影響。研究以環境因素(臉書形塑之科技環境、國中生次文化環境)，對個人心理(自我效能、結果預期)，進而影響個人情緒壓力之調適。 研究結果顯示：(1) 臉書之科技環境(立即性)及國中生次文化(同儕歸屬感、同儕支持性)對個人自我效能呈現正向影響、自我效能對情緒壓力調適呈正向影響。(2)臉書之科技環境(立即性)及國中生次文化(同儕歸屬感、同儕支持性)對個人結果預期呈正向影響、個人結果預期對情緒壓力調適呈正向影響。(3) 本研究所建構之模型對於國中生使用臉書有益於情緒壓力調適具有可接受之解釋力。[[abstract]]With the rapid development of information technology all kinds of Internet services continued to emerge From the early e-mail BBS blog MSN Yahoo Messenger service to the rise of the social networking such as Facebook Twitter Plurk and so on The service provided by these community service platforms significantly varies the human's life and behavior Among the many community sites Facebook is popular with users in Taiwan mostly The growth rate of using Facebook in Taiwan is the number one in the world The main Facebook users are young students This shows that the influence of Facebook on students is significant On the basis of the social cognitive perspective the study is to explore the relief of junior high students' emotional stress by using Facebook The study includes three dimensions: environmental factors (the technological environment constructed by Facebook the subcultural environment of junior high school students) individual psychology (self-efficacy outcome expectation) and the relief of individual emotional stress The results show that: (1) The technological environment of Facebook (instant) and the subculture of junior high school students (sense of peer belonging peer support) shows a positive effect on personal self-efficacy The self-efficacy also shows a positive effect on the relief of the emotional stress (2) The technological environment of Facebook (instant) and the subculture of junior high school students (sense of peer belonging peer support) shows a positive effect on outcome expectations The individual outcome expectation also shows a positive effect on the relief of the emotional stress (3) The model constructed by the study can provide a credibility for explaining that it is useful for students using Facebook to relieve their emotional stres
