这项研究考察了社会自我效能感、集体自尊和归属感如何被用来预测青少年对社交媒体的使用。特别关注的是这些社会心理变量和社交媒体的使用如何解释青少年参与快闪族的变化——快闪族是21世纪集体行动的典范。实证数据来自对美国中西部一个主要城市青少年的调查。青少年的归属需求与他们在社交网站上花费的时间呈正相关，即使在控制性别、种族和家庭社会经济地位的情况下也是如此。青少年的社会自我效能感和花在YouTube上的时间都与他们未来参加快闪的意愿呈正相关。这些和其他研究结果在社交媒体在青年文化和集体行动中的作用的背景下进行了讨论。
This research examined how social self-efficacy, collective self-esteem, and need to belong can be used to predict teens’ use of social media. The particular focus was on how these social psychological variables together with social media use account for variation in teens’ participation in a flash mob – an exemplar of 21st-century collective action. Empirical data come from a survey of teens in a major Midwestern city in the USA. Teens’ need to belong was positively associated with the amount of time they reported spending on social networking sites, even when controlling for gender, race, and household socio-economic status. Both teens’ social self-efficacy and time spent on YouTube were positively associated with their intention to participate in a flash mob in the future. These and other findings are discussed in the context of the role of social media in youth culture and collective action.
