女大學生網路親密友誼之發展歷程

The Developmental Process of College Female Students’ Intimate Friendships in Cyberspace

本研究旨在探討女大學生網路親密友誼的發展歷程，以了解她們如何在網路中認識一個全然陌生的人，從剛開始的認識，隨著關係的進展，進而發展出一段能相互關心、支持、陪伴、有親近感且能分享內心感受與想法、真實情感的交流、了解與信任彼此的網路親密友誼之歷程，並歸納出促進與阻礙親密友誼關係發展的因素，以及這樣的經驗對女大學生產生的意義。對五位女大學生進行深入訪談，透過詮釋現象學分析訪談逐字稿，探討隨著關係進展的親密友誼發展階段的變化。研究結果以「開啟交流期」、「自我表露期」、「情感投入期」、「不安考驗期」與「整合期」五個時期說明女大學生網路親密友誼之發展歷程，呈現各階段中親密友誼的可能發展路徑，並歸納出「在親密友誼中探索自我」、「對親人與現實朋友關係的調整與轉變」、「對網路友誼的重新看待」、「豐富人際與生活的經驗」四個主題，來了解網路親密友誼對女大學生產生的意義。最後，根據研究結果對網路人際關係的研究領域及諮商與輔導工作提出相關建議。

The research explored the developmental process of college female students’ intimate friendships to understand how they make friends in cyberspace. After being unfamiliar to each other in the beginning， a variety of issues emerged， such as concern， support， companionship， intimacy， sharing of feelings and ideas， and understanding and trusting each other as the relationship developed in cyberspace. We explored the factors that either promote or obstruct the intimate friendship developmental process， and what this experience means to college female students. The research interviewed 5 college female students in depth. Through hermeneutic phenomenology analysis， we explored how intimate relationships changed during the process. We found that there are five periods that make up the developmental process of college female students’ online intimate friendships: “Initial Communication，” “Self-Disclosure，” “Affective Involvement，” “Relationship Testing，” and “Relationship Integration.” There were also factors that promoted or obstructed the development of intimate friendships in each period. Additionally， we summed up four topics to understand the meaning that emerges from college female students’ online intimate friendships: “exploration of self in intimate friendships，” “adjusting and shifting relationships of family and friends in real life，” “renewing impressions of online friendships，” and “enriching interpersonal and daily experiences.” Finally， according to the research results， some suggestions about interpersonal relationships in cyberspace， counseling practice， and future related research were discussed.
