互联网使用和社会行为之间的关系尚不清楚。然而，研究表明，互联网使用(IU)可能在某些类型的精神病理和整体功能中起到一定的因果作用。相比之下，其他研究表明，IU可能对社交孤立具有保护和缓冲作用。较差的情绪处理(EP)是精神分裂症的特征，这些缺陷在疾病发作(超高危期(UHR))之前就存在。UHR青少年/年轻人也属于以广泛的IU为特征的年龄组，这表明在这一人群中评估IU与社会行为之间的联系可能特别有用。本研究考察了98名青少年(52名UHR青年和46名对照)的Iu与情绪加工之间的关系。与健康同龄人相比，乌尔族青年表现出更多的问题IU(β=−=6.49，F(1，95)β=68.79，P=0.002)和由此导致的社交退缩/问题(−=3.23，F(1，95)β=111.43，P=0.001)，以及情绪加工方面的缺陷(=64.59，F(1，94)=15.52，P=0.011)。此外，尿毒症引起的社会问题与尿毒症组的情绪信息加工能力显著相关(β=−=0.51，t(1，48)−=2.10，p=0.021)。与对照组相比，乌尔族青年表现出有问题的Iu的证据，而Iu导致的社会问题与较差的EP有关。这些发现复制了涉及其他精神病风险人群的现有研究，同时增加了关于社会过程可能如何与IU相关的信息。
The relationship between Internet use and social behavior remains unknown. However, research indicates that Internet use (IU) may have some causal role in certain types of psychopathology and overall functioning. In contrast, other work suggests that IU may be protective and buffer against social isolation. Poorer emotional processing (EP) is characteristic of schizophrenia, and these deficits are present prior to illness onset (the ultra high-risk period (UHR)). UHR adolescents/young adults also fall within an age demographic characterized by extensive IU, which suggests that evaluating a link between IU and social behavior in this population may be especially informative. The present study examined the relationship between IU and emotional processing in 98 adolescents/young adults (52 UHR youth and 46 controls). UHR youth exhibited greater problematic IU (β = − 6.49, F(1,95) = 8.79, p = 0.002) and social withdrawal/problems resulting from this use (β = − 3.23, F(1,95) = 11.43, p < 0.001), as well deficits in emotional processing in comparison to healthy peers (β = 4.59, F(1,94) = 5.52, p = 0.011). Furthermore, the social problems resulting from IU were significantly related to the ability to process emotional information in the UHR group (β = − 0.51, t(1,48) = − 2.10, p = 0.021). UHR youth showed evidence of problematic IU relative to controls, and the social problems resulting from IU related to poorer EP. Findings replicate extant research involving other psychosis risk populations, while adding information regarding how social processes may relate to IU.
