本研究旨在探讨参与智慧型手机高峰会的初中生在正确使用网路与智慧型手机方面的观点差异。智能手机峰会是一个教育项目，旨在使初中生能够在学校社区和整个社会中，在年长、同龄和年轻的同龄人中倡导适当使用互联网和智能手机。参与者是来自日本西部城市冈山市18所初中的26名学生（7年级和8年级）。在这个项目中，参加者讨论了互联网和智能手机的利弊，并在多位成人专家的帮助下，就鼓励同学们以适当的方式使用互联网和智能手机的活动提出了自己的想法。通过一份调查问卷来衡量参与者对自己和同学目前智能手机使用情况的评估，以及对未来智能手机使用情况的预期。结果显示，参与者认为自己的使用比同学的更合适，并期望未来的使用对自己和同学都比现在更好。此外，参与者期望他们的同学的使用变化比自己的更明显，因为他们的同学目前的使用似乎相对不合适，有更大的改进空间。通过对被试对同伴影响期望的模式分析，发现被试对同伴影响期望存在中等评价、相对较低评价和相对较高评价三种视角。未来的研究应关注影响参与者观点的因素。
This study investigated the variations of perspectives of junior high school students who had participated in Smartphone Summit for appropriate usage of the Internet and smartphones. Smartphone Summit is an educational project designed to empower junior high school students to advocate appropriate usage of the Internet and smartphones among older, same-age, and younger peers, within school communities and society as a whole. The participants were 26 students (7th and 8th grade) from 18 junior high schools in Okayama, a western Japanese city. In the project, the participants discussed pros and cons of the Internet and smartphones, and presented their ideas concerning possible activities to encourage their classmates to use the Internet and smartphones in appropriate ways with the help of various adult experts. A questionnaire was administered to measure the participants' evaluation of their own and their classmates' present smartphone usage as well as anticipated future smartphone usage. Results showed that the participants evaluated their own usage as more appropriate than that of their classmates and expected that future usage would be better for both themselves and their classmates than at present. Furthermore, the participants expected their classmates' usage will change more significantly than their own because their classmates' current usage seems relatively inappropriate and there would be larger room for improvement. From the analysis of patterns of participants' impact expectation toward their peers, it was found that there were three types of perspectives: moderate, relatively lower, and relatively higher evaluation. Future research should focus on the factors influencing the participants' perspectives.
