摘要
在中国,用手机登陆如微信等社交网络平台的大学生正日益增加,其中一些过度使用者甚至表现出了类似于成瘾的症状。然而,目前并没有已发表的量表可供用于评估微信过度使用的状况,这严重阻碍了人们对这一领域的进一步研究。在当前的研究中,我们搜集了来自1245名中国大学生样本(其中女性715名,男性530名)的数据资料,开发出了针对于中国大学生使用的微信过度使用量表(WPUS),并将其与用于评估手机成瘾的标准相比较。微信过度使用量表分为三个维度,分别为"情绪调节""突显性"和"冲突",共有12个题目用于评估不同成瘾类型。结果显示,16-19岁年龄组与20-23岁年龄组在微信过度使用量表上的得分存在显著差异,后者得分高于前者(F=6.587,p=.001)。研究结果也显示,微信过度使用得分更高者,伴随着更高(r=.222,p<.001)、更好的网络社交技巧(r=.306,p<.001)。这些发现与前人在网络和手机成瘾研究上的结论一致。不仅如此,微信过度使用在外控水平对个体网络社交互动行为的预测中起到了中介作用(χ~2/df=3.182,NFI=.994,RFI=.967,IFI=.996,CFI=.996,GFI=.998,RMSEA=.054),而微信过度使用量表与孤独量表和社会支持量表之间都不存在显著相关。这些结果不同于之前的研究结论,表明微信过度使用者的一些特质与手机成瘾者存在一定差异。因此,我们认为微信过度使用者可能与网络或手机成瘾者的状况并不完全相同。
In China, the number of college students using mobile phone based social networking sites like WeChat(微信) is increasing, with some problematic users demonstrating addiction-like symptoms. However, there is presently no published scale available for use in assessing problematic use of WeChat, a significant inhibition to advancing this area of research. In the current study, we collected data from 1,245 college students in China(715 females) and developed WeChat Problematic Use Scale(WPUS) for Chinese college students, comparing it with criteria used for assessing mobile phone addiction. Our 12-item scale featured three factors, namely-"mood modification," "salience" and ‘‘conflict"- critical factors in assessing different forms of addiction. Further, our results showed significant difference in WPUS score between age groups 16-19 and 20-23; the latter scoring higher than the former(F= 6.587, p =.001). Our study also showed that greater problematic use of WeChat is associated with higher external locus of control(r =.222, p <.001) and greater online social interaction skills(r =.306, p <.001). These findings are comparable to results obtained in previous investigations into Internet and mobile phone addiction. Further, the WPUS score mediated the relationship between individual's external locus of control and social interaction online(χ~2/df = 3.182, NFI=.994, RFI=.967, IFI=.996, CFI=.996, GFI=.998, RMSEA=.054), and the WPUS did not significantly correlate with both Loneliness and Social Support Scale. These results differ from previous studies indicating that some characteristics of problematic use of WeChat are different from those of mobile phone addiction. Consequently, our study suggests that problematic use of WeChat may not correspond exactly to the state of Internet or mobile phone addiction.
