大一學生網路上不同來源之社會支持、網路沉迷及孤寂感之研究

A Study of Different Resources of Online Social Support, Pathological Internet Use and Loneliness for University Freshman

研究目的：1.了解大一學生利用網路獲得社會支持之對象。2.比較由初級支持系統與由次級支持系統處得到社會支持者在各變項上之差異。3.探討社會支持、孤寂感等變項對網路沉迷之預測。4.比較高低孤寂感與網路沉迷者在各項社會支持功能上之差異。研究方法：本研究針對使用網路之大一學生進行調查研究，共施測312位大一新生。研究結果：經統計分析後其結果顯示，大一學生在網路上主要是由好友及親人等初級支持系統處得到社會支持，其在各項社會支持功能上顯著高於由次級支持系統處得到社會支持者；而後者較花時間在打電玩及設計或維護網頁、網站上；在預測網路沉迷總分上，以孤寂感最能有效預測網路沉迷。高孤寂感者比低孤寂感者得到各項之社會支持較少，且覺得較不被接納了解。高沉迷組比低沉迷組覺得較有得到社會支持，但也覺得較不被接納了解。研究結論：本研發現大一學生高孤寂者易沈迷網路，且知覺到的社會支持較少，因此提供一些具體建議供教師、父母及諮商師參考。

Purpose: This study was focused on the following four subjects: 1. to explore the main resources which provide social-support on-line. 2. To compare the difference of various variables between the primary and secondary online support system, which they choose. 3. To study the difference of social-support functions and the amount of time of Internetactivity among the high- and low- loneliness and excessive-Internet-use groups. 4. To examine the effects of the amount of time of Internet-activity, social-support functions and loneliness on the score of pathological Internet uses.
Methods: The study was conducted to a survey of 312 freshmen that are using Internet.
Results: The results indicate that freshmen usually receive social support from familiar good friends and family members. In addition, those who get social-support from primary support system perceive more social-support from their support provider. However, those who get social-support from secondary support system spend more time on play game, design and maintain homepage, and blog. Loneliness is the strongest factor that can predict the score of pathological Internet use. Finally, the high-loneliness groups feel receiving less social-support and not being accepted than those of the low–loneliness groups. The highpathological Internet use groups feel unaccepted but more social-support than those of the low- pathological Internet use groups.
Conclusions: The high-loneliness students spend more time on Internet, but percept less social-support. The result of this research may provide some useful suggestion to teachers, parents, and counselors.
