我们研究了面对面（FTF）的社交网络和移动的/手机短信（MPTM）介导的社交网络的发展，以及社会网络结构的性别差异，64名男性和68名女性一年级大学生。社会网络分析表明，MPTM社交网络由二元关系组成，其增长速度慢于FTF社交网络。通过FTF和MPTM进行交流的朋友的亲密度比只通过FTF交流的朋友更高。MPTM社交网络的结构与网络特征中已知的性别差异相吻合。女性比男性更倾向于扩大她们的MPTM社交网络。这些发现表明，MPTM社交网络的人际关系模式符合Matsuda（2000）的选择性人际关系理论。
We examined the development of face-to-face (FTF) social networks and mobile/cell phone text message (MPTM)-mediated social networks, and gender differences in the social network structure of 64 male and 68 female first-year undergraduate students. Social network analysis showed that MPTM social networks consisted of dyadic relationships, and its growth was slower than FTF social networks. The intimacy of friends who communicate via both FTF and MPTM was rated higher than those who communicate only via FTF. The structure of MPTM social networks coincided with known gender differences in network characteristics. Females tended to expand their MPTM social networks more than males. These findings suggest that patterns of interpersonal relationships for MPTM social networks corresponded to Matsuda's (2000) selective interpersonal relationship theory.
