大學生的害羞和網路使用時間及網路成癮之關係研究：以潛在成長模式進行分析

Relationships Among Shyness, Time Spent on the Internet, and Internet Addiction in College Students: Analysis of the Latent Growth Curve Model

本研究旨在探討大學生的害羞與網路使用時間及網路成癮的關係，並分析不同性別的大學生，其害羞與網路使用時間及網路成癮的關聯程度，是否有顯著的差異存在。本研究以便利取樣選取南部一所大學的403位大學生為研究對象，採縱貫性研究，一年內對大學生實施三次的測量，並以結構方程模式軟體進行潛在成長模式的資料分析。主要結果如下：一、大學生的害羞與網路使用時間，以及網路成癮之間的起始點都有顯著的正相關，但害羞的成長率只和網路成癮的成長率有顯著的關聯；二、男女生的害羞和網路成癮的成長率之關聯程度有顯著差異，男生的害羞會隨著網路成癮的增加而加劇，但女生則無此現象。

This study explored the relationships among shyness, time spent on the Internet, and Internet addiction, and the different correlations among shyness, time spent on the Internet, and Internet addiction in women and men. The subjects were 403 college students from a university in southern Taiwan. Structural equation modeling with latent growth curve models was used to analyze the three waves of data. The results were as follows: (a) Significant positive correlations were observed among the initial statuses of shyness, time spent on the Internet, and Internet addiction. However, only significant correlations were observed between the growth rate in shyness and Internet addiction. (b) Significant gender differences were observed for the correlation between the growth rate of shyness and Internet addiction. Men became shyer as Internet addiction increased, whereas women did not. Suggestions and implications for education, counseling, and future research are discussed.
