许多研究考察了社交网站(SNs)与社会资本发展之间的关系。然而，到目前为止，大多数研究只考虑了大学生和成年人。这项研究调查了美国城市青少年的社交网络使用模式。它检验了SNSS的使用与较高的社会资本水平相关的假设。结果显示，使用Facebook和Myspace的年轻人在学校和网络关系中都表现出更高的社会资本。此外，分析表明，不同的社交网络体验模式与搭桥和粘合社会资本的关系存在差异。在SNSS中花费的时间与过渡性资本有关，而积极或消极的体验与结合资本有关。这项研究为年轻人如何体验SNS以及这种体验与他们与世界的联系提供了新的见解。
Many studies have examined the relationship between social network sites (SNSs) and the development of social capital. However, most studies to date have only considered college and adult populations. This study examines the patterns of SNS use in an urban, teenage sample in the United States. It tests the hypothesis that use of SNSs is related to higher levels of social capital. The results show that youth who use Facebook and Myspace report higher social capital in both their school and online relationships. In addition, the analysis suggests that distinct modes of SNS experiences are differentially related to bridging and bonding social capital. Time spent in SNSs is related to bridging capital, while positive or negative experiences are related to bonding capital. The study offers new insights into how youth experience SNSs and the relationship of that experience with their connection to the world.
