研究表明，具有高社交焦虑特质的人可能更倾向于通过计算机介导的沟通（CMC）进行互动。然而，这种倾向的心理基础仍然不清楚。因此，本研究探讨，如果认知评价偏差（即提高估计的社会风险和自我效能感降低）将介导的社交焦虑和一个人的感知CMC属性之间的关系，有助于在CMC使用的反应的差异模式。410名12-18岁的青少年完成了一套自我报告的措施，挖掘社交焦虑特质，认知评价，感知CMC属性，CMC的社会反应模式。结构方程模型支持认知评价因素的中介作用。高社交焦虑特质的被试在CMC中的自我相关性更高，在CMC中的人际反应更倾向于社会参与型。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Research suggests that people with high social anxiety trait may be more inclined to interact through computer-mediated communication (CMC). The psychological underpinnings of this inclination however remained unclear. The present research thus examines if cognitive appraisal bias (i.e. heighten estimation of social risk and deflated self-efficacy) would mediate the relationship between social anxiety and one's perception of CMC attributes, contributing to a differential pattern of responses in CMC use. Four hundred and ten adolescents aged 12-18 years completed a set of self-reported measures tapping social anxiety trait, cognitive appraisals, perception of CMC attributes, and pattern of CMC social responses. Structural equation modeling lent support to the mediating role of the cognitive appraisal factors. Those with higher social anxiety trait would attach higher self-relevance to the CMC attributes, and engage in a more socially-involved pattern of interpersonal responses in CMC. Implications of these findings are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
