本研究评估了社交网站（SNS）使用的动机，群体归属感，集体自尊，和性别的影响，在年龄较大的青少年。与同侪团体成员沟通是使用SNS的最重要动机。积极集体自尊心高的参与者有强烈的动机通过社交网络与同龄人交流。女性更有可能报告高积极的集体自尊，更大的整体使用，和SNS使用与同龄人沟通。女性在自我群体、打发时间和娱乐方面也表现出更高的平均水平。消极的集体自尊与社会补偿相关，这表明那些对他们的社会群体感到消极的人使用SNS作为与其他群体成员交流的替代方案。男性比女性更有可能报告负面的集体自尊和社交网络使用的社会补偿和社会身份的满足。
This study assessed motives for social network site (SNS) use, group belonging, collective self-esteem, and gender effects among older adolescents. Communication with peer group members was the most important motivation for SNS use. Participants high in positive collective self-esteem were strongly motivated to communicate with peer group via SNS. Females were more likely to report high positive collective self-esteem, greater overall use, and SNS use to communicate with peers. Females also posted higher means for group-in-self, passing time, and entertainment. Negative collective self-esteem correlated with social compensation, suggesting that those who felt negatively about their social group used SNS as an alternative to communicating with other group members. Males were more likely than females to report negative collective self-esteem and SNS use for social compensation and social identity gratifications.
