The Relationship Between Online Social Media Use and Life Satisfaction of Adolescents: Mediating Effect of Self-Identity Status

Abstract

Abstract: In order to investigate the adolescent’s psychological mechanism of the influence of online social media use on life satisfaction, 2634 adolescents were recruited to participate in this survey. The results showed that: 1) the variable of online social media use did not predict the variable of life satisfaction directly, but self-identity status mediated the relationship between online social media use and life satisfaction of adolescents; 2) life satisfaction could be impacted in a positive or negative way by strengthening the achievement or diffusion status of self-identity, while adolescents using online social media.

Key words: self-identity status, online social media, life satisfaction, adolescent

摘要： 为考察网络社交媒体使用对青少年生活满意度的影响及其内在心理机制—自我同一性状态的中介作用，采用问卷法对2634名青少年进行调查。结果表明：（1）网络社交媒体使用无法直接预测青少年生活满意度，但可以通过自我同一性状态这一中介变量产生间接影响；（2）网络社交媒体使用对青少年心理发展呈现双重作用，既能通过加强成就型自我同一性状态提高生活满意度，也可以通过增强弥散型自我同一性状态进而削弱青少年生活满意度。
