目的.为了确定在香港青少年的电脑使用模式，并探讨是否与电脑使用较少的体力活动和社会支持青少年amongyoung.Methods：共2110名中学生（52%的男孩和48%的女孩）在香港完成了一套问卷，以衡量他们的电脑使用和生活方式。受访者的平均年龄为14.16岁（SD = 1.81岁）。通过要求学生指出他们每天花在电脑上做家庭作业的时间（以分钟为单位）来记录电脑的使用情况;玩电脑游戏;“上网”;以及与他人交流。学生们还提供了关于他们的社会-身体生活方式的信息。学生的t检验和方差分析用于检查组间差异。Pearson积矩相关被用来探讨电脑使用和lifesty.Results之间的关系：男孩谁使用电脑做作业，“冲浪”互联网，并与他人进行更多的社会体育活动比其他人。使用电脑玩游戏的男孩在社交行为上更不活跃。对女孩来说，使用电脑的模式与生活方式无关。结论：电脑使用者较非电脑使用者更常参与社会-身体活动，且拥有较高的社会支持。但在电脑用户中，每天花在电脑上的时间与生活方式无关。相反，计算机使用模式与生活方式更相关，这种关系受性别的影响。(C)青少年医学协会，2001年。
Purpose. To determine the patterns of computer usage among adolescents in Hong Kong and to examine whether computer usage is associated with less physical activity and social support among adolescents.Methods: A total of 2110 secondary school students (52% boys and 48% girls) in Hong Kong completed a set of questionnaires to measure their computer usage and lifestyle. Mean age of the respondents was 14.16 years (SD = 1.81 years). Computer usage was taped by asking the students to indicate how much time (in minutes) they spent on the computer each day for doing homework assignments; playing computer games; "surfing" the Internet; and communicating with others. The students also provided information on their social-physical lifestyle. Student's t-tests and analysis of variance were used to examine group differences. Pearson product moment correlations were used to explore relationships between computer usage and lifestyle.Results: Boys who use computers for doing homework, "surfing" the Internet, and communicating with others engage in more social-physical activities than others. Boys who use computers to play games tend to be more social-behaviorally inactive. For girls, patterns of computer usage are not related to lifestyle. Conclusions: Computer users tended to engage in social-physical activities more frequently and had higher social support than nonusers. But among computer users, the amount of time spent daily on the computer was not associated with lifestyle. Instead, patterns of computer usage are more related to lifestyle and the relationship is moderated by gender. (C) Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2001.
