目的：探讨社交媒体积极体验和消极体验与社会孤立感的关系。设计：横断面调查。环境：一所大型中大西洋大学。参与者：2016年8月共招募了1178名18 - 30岁的学生。措施：参与者完成了一份评估SM使用和PSI的在线调查。我们通过直接要求参与者分别估计他们的SM体验中包含积极和消极体验的百分比来评估积极和消极体验。社会隔离使用已建立的患者报告结果测量信息系统量表进行测量。分析：我们使用多变量逻辑回归来评估SM和PSI的积极和消极体验之间的关系。主要模型控制了性别、年龄、种族/民族、教育状况、关系状况和生活状况。结果：参与者的平均年龄为20.9岁（标准差= 2.9），其中62%为女性。超过四分之一（28%）的学生是非白人。在控制了所有社会人口学协变量后，积极体验每增加10%与社会孤立没有显著相关（调整优势比[AOR] = 0.97； 95%可信区间[CI]: 0.93-1.005）。然而，负面经历每增加10%，PSI的几率就会增加13% （AOR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.05-1.21）。结论：积极的SM体验与较低的社会隔离程度无关，而消极的SM体验与较高的社会隔离程度相关。这些发现与消极偏见的概念是一致的，即人类倾向于给予消极实体比积极实体更大的权重。
Purpose: To examine the association between positive and negative experiences on social media (SM) and perceived social isolation (PSI).Design: Cross-sectional survey.Setting: One large mid-Atlantic University.Participants: A total of 1178 students aged 18 to 30 were recruited in August 2016.Measures: Participants completed an online survey assessing SM use and PSI. We assessed positive and negative experiences on SM by directly asking participants to estimate what percentage of their SM experiences involved positive and negative experiences, respectively. Social isolation was measured using the established Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures Information System scale.Analysis: We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between both positive and negative experiences on SM and PSI. Primary models controlled for sex, age, race/ethnicity, educational status, relationship status, and living situation.Results: Participants had an average age of 20.9 (standard deviation = 2.9) and were 62% female. Just over one-quarter (28%) were nonwhite. After controlling for all sociodemographic covariates, each 10% increase in positive experiences was not significantly associated with social isolation (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.93-1.005). However, each 10% increase in negative experiences was associated with a 13% increase in odds of PSI (AOR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.05-1.21).Conclusion: Having positive experiences on SM is not associated with lower social isolation, whereas having negative experiences on SM is associated with higher social isolation. These findings are consistent with the concept of negativity bias, which suggests that humans tend to give greater weight to negative entities compared with positive ones.
