这项研究探讨了数字媒体技术在青少年友谊和身份认同体验中所起的作用。提交人根据对在百慕大七所中学之一就读的32名13-18岁(男=15.5岁)青少年(15名女孩，17名男孩)的深入访谈得出的结论。这些青少年被要求描述他们与朋友在线交流的性质，以及他们认为这些对话的价值。对他们的回答进行的主题分析显示，在线同伴交流促进了青少年的归属感和自我表露，这是支持青春期身份发展的两个重要的同伴过程。与此同时，计算机媒介交流的独特特征以不同的方式塑造了青少年对这些过程的体验。性别和年龄差异表明，青少年的在线同伴交流并不统一；线下区别青少年的特征也塑造了他们的在线活动。(C)2012年青少年服务专业人员基金会。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This study explores the role that digital media technologies play in adolescents' experiences of friendship and identity. The author draws on findings from in-depth interviews with 32 adolescents (15 girls, 17 boys) ages 13-18 (M = 15.5 years) attending one of seven secondary schools in Bermuda. The adolescents were asked to describe the nature of their online exchanges with friends and the value they ascribe to these conversations. A thematic analysis of their responses revealed that online peer communications promote adolescents' sense of belonging and self-disclosure, two important peer processes that support identity development during adolescence. At the same time, the unique features of computer-mediated communication shape adolescents' experiences of these processes in distinct ways. Gender and age differences show that adolescents' online peer communications are not uniform; the characteristics that distinguish adolescents offline also shape their online activities.
