社交媒体已经成为大学生与社交网络中的人交流日常生活方方面面的主要方式。这类交流通常包括物质使用展示(例如,大学生饮酒的自拍)。此外,研究发现,学生的物质使用展示不仅可以有力地预测发帖者与物质使用相关的结果(例如,消费、问题),还可以预测他们的社交网络同龄人的结果。目前的综述总结了探索社交媒体和物质使用之间的交集的最新文献的发现。具体地说,我们考察了这种物质使用展示如何以及为什么可能塑造大学生关于物质使用的内化规范,以及它如何影响他们与物质使用相关的行为。需要采取更多与社交媒体相关的干预措施,以减少这一高危群体的消费。我们讨论了在这一领域进行研究和设计干预措施所固有的技术和方法挑战。
Social media has become a primary way for college students to communicate aspects of their daily lives to those within their social network. Such communications often include substance use displays (e.g., selfies of college students drinking). Furthermore, students’ substance use displays have been found to robustly predict not only the posters’ substance use-related outcomes (e.g., consumption, problems) but also that of their social networking peers. The current review summarizes findings of recent literature exploring the intersection between social media and substance use. Specifically, we examine how and why such substance use displays might shape college students’ internalized norms surrounding substance use and how it impacts their substance use-related behaviors. Additional social media-related interventions are needed in order to target reduction of consumption among this at-risk group. We discuss the technological and methodological challenges inherent to conducting research and devising interventions in this domain.
