Facebook和Instagram是目前最受年轻人欢迎的社交网站。大量的研究考察了这些社交网络与幸福感之间的关系，以及可能的中间结构，如社会比较、自尊和重复性消极思维（RNT）。然而，这些研究大多采用横断面设计，并使用社交网络使用的自我报告指标。因此，对他们的结论应谨慎解读。因此，当前经验抽样研究的目的是检验SNS使用的客观指标与社会比较、RNT和每日负面影响波动的自我报告之间的时间动态关系。更具体地说，我们在14天内每天对98名参与者进行6次评估，以检查社交网络使用、负面影响、情绪调节和关键心理结构之间的相互关系。结果表明：(1)Facebook和Instagram的使用都预示着幸福感的降低；(2)自尊和RNT似乎是这些关系中重要的中间结构。需要进一步的纵向和实验研究来进一步支持和扩展现有的研究结果。
Facebook and Instagram are currently the most popular Social Network Sites (SNS) for young adults. A large amount of research examined the relationship between these SNS and well-being, and possible intermediate constructs such as social comparison, self-esteem, and repetitive negative thinking (RNT). However, most of these studies have cross-sectional designs and use self-report indicators of SNS use. Therefore, their conclusions should be interpreted cautiously. Consequently, the goal of the current experience sampling study was to examine the temporal dynamics between objective indicators of SNS use, and self-reports of social comparison, RNT, and daily fluctuations in negative affect. More specifically, we assessed 98 participants 6 times per day during 14 days to examine reciprocal relationships between SNS use, negative affect, emotion regulation, and key psychological constructs. Results indicate that (1) both Facebook and Instagram use predicted reduced well-being, and (2) self-esteem and RNT appear to be important intermediate constructs in these relationships. Future longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to further support and extend the current research findings.
