通信技术的最新发展改变了人们相互联系和互动的方式。本研究探讨了在日本，具有强关系的在线交流（移动的电话和社交网络服务[SNS]）是否以及如何增强主观幸福感。第一项研究调查了幸福感和使用移动的手机之间的相关性是否受到离线和在线朋友数量的影响。研究2评估了日本关系导向价值观“相互依存的自我观”，生活满意度和SNS的使用之间的关联。结果表明，只有使用LINE（一种即时通讯应用程序），这是日本最流行的SNS，与生活满意度和相互依存的自我观显着相关。朋友的数量（离线和在线）介导LINE使用对生活满意度的影响。相互依赖自我观与LINE使用频率、LINE好友同质性、生活满意度显著相关。这些结果表明，使用一个占主导地位的在线通信方法与强关系显着相关的主观幸福感，这种显着的相关性是由离线和在线朋友的数量介导的。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Recent developments in communication technologies have changed how people connect and interact with each other. This study investigates whether and how online communication with strong ties (mobile phone and social networking service [SNS]) enhances subjective well-being in Japan. Study 1 examined whether the correlation between happiness and mobile phone use was mediated by the number of offline and online friends. Study 2 assessed the associations between the Japanese relationship-oriented value "interdependent self-view," life satisfaction, and the use of SNS. Results indicate that only the use of LINE (an instant messaging application), which is the most popular SNS in Japan, was significantly correlated with life satisfaction and interdependent self-view. The number of friends (offline and online) mediated the effect of LINE use on life satisfaction. Interdependent self-view was significantly correlated with the frequency of LINE use, homogeneity of LINE friends, and life satisfaction. These results indicate that the use of a dominant online communication method with strong ties is significantly correlated with subjective well-being, and this significant correlation is mediated by the number of offline and online friends.
