计算机媒介通信（CMC）的各种用途正在改变青少年之间的社会互动和人际关系的性质。关于特殊青年参与这项技术的情况知之甚少。本研究调查的影响，语言和社会因素的频率CIVIC使用和青少年幸福感的关系，在年轻人和没有特定的语言障碍（SLI）的历史。86名有SLI史的青少年和90名典型的17岁青少年参加了研究。参与者完成了心理语言能力的标准化评估，以及对CIVIC使用的语言动机和社会动机以及焦虑和抑郁的自我报告措施。结果表明，语言能力与CIVIC使用频率有着复杂的关系;社交能力与CIVIC使用频率有着更直接的关联，并且可以预测CIVIC使用频率。SLI青少年和正常发育的青少年在网上都不那么害羞。CIVIC使用频率与报告的焦虑和/或抑郁情绪症状之间没有关联。CIVIC的语言要求较低，提示环境较少，这一特点为青少年积极适应交际环境提供了一种媒介。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The various uses of computer-mediated communication (CMC) are transforming the nature of social interactions and human relations among adolescents. Little is known about engagement of exceptional youth with this technology. The present study investigated the implications of language and social factors for frequency of CIVIC use and its relationship to adolescent well-being in young people with and without a history of specific language impairment (SLI). Eighty six adolescents with a history of SLI and 90 typically developing 17 year olds participated. Participants completed standardized assessments of psycholinguistic abilities and self-report measures of language motivations and social motivations for CIVIC use, as well as anxiety and depression. Results indicate that language abilities have a complex relationship with frequency of CIVIC use; social abilities have a more direct association and are predictive of frequency of CIVIC use. Both adolescents with SLI and typically developing adolescents were less shy online. No association was obtained between frequency of CIVIC use and reported emotional symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. It is argued that the characteristics of CIVIC, in terms of its less stringent language demands and its reduced-cues environment, can provide a medium for positive adaptation of adolescents with communication challenges.
