尽管越来越多的证据表明，特定类型的Facebook使用(即主动使用Facebook、主动使用Facebook和被动使用Facebook)与青少年的幸福感有不同的关系，但这些类型在青春期过程中是如何发挥作用的，以及性别和Facebook动机是否可以预测这些类型的初始水平和随着时间的推移而发生的变化，目前还知之甚少。为了弥补这些差距，佛兰德青少年(12-19岁)在三个不同的时间点接受了询问，时间间隔为6个月(N-Time 1=1866)。潜在增长曲线模型显示，活跃的私人Facebook使用量在青春期期间增加，而公共Facebook使用量减少。然而，被动使用Facebook的情况保持稳定。此外，性别和Facebook动机与特定类型的Facebook使用的初始水平相关，并预测特定类型的Facebook使用随时间的动态变化。讨论的重点是对这些发现的理解和影响。(C)爱思唯尔有限公司代表青少年服务专业人员基金会出版的《2016》。
Despite increasing evidence that specific types of Facebook use (i.e., active private, active public, and passive Facebook use) are differently related to adolescents' well-being, little is known how these types function over the course of adolescence and whether gender and Facebook motives may predict the initial level and changes in these types over time. To address these gaps, Flemish adolescents (ages 12-19) were questioned at three different time points, with six months in between (N-Time1 = 1866). Latent growth curve models revealed that active private Facebook use increased over the course of adolescence, whereas public Facebook use decreased. Passive Facebook use, however, remained stable. In addition, gender and Facebook motives were related to initial levels of specific types of Facebook use, and predictive of dynamic change in specific types of Facebook use over time. The discussion focuses on the understanding and implications of these findings. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
