社会补偿假说指出，互联网主要有利于那些对面对面交流感到不舒服的个人。在当前的研究中，我们测试了社交焦虑程度较高的人是否使用互联网作为补偿性社交媒体，以及这种使用是否与更大的幸福感相关。在研究 1 中，社交焦虑程度较高的个体在网上社交时比社交焦虑程度较低的个体表现出更大的舒适感和自我表露，但在面对面交流时则表现出较少的自我表露。然而，在研究 2 中，对于经常在线交流的人来说，社交焦虑与较低的生活质量和较高的抑郁程度相关。我们的研究结果表明，虽然社交焦虑可能与使用互联网作为面对面交流的替代方式有关，但这种策略可能会导致较差的幸福感。
The social compensation hypothesis states that the internet primarily benefits individuals who feel uncomfortable communicating face-to-face. In the current research, we tested whether individuals higher in social anxiety use the internet as a compensatory social medium, and whether such use is associated with greater well-being. In Study 1, individuals higher in social anxiety reported greater feelings of comfort and self-disclosure when socializing online than less socially anxious individuals, but reported less self-disclosure when communicating face-to-face. However, in Study 2, social anxiety was associated with lower quality of life and higher depression most strongly for individuals who communicated frequently online. Our results suggest that, whereas social anxiety may be associated with using the internet as an alternative to face-to-face communication, such a strategy may result in poorer well-being.
