我们编制了一份网络使用原因调查问卷，以调查网络使用与社交焦虑、一般焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。研究表明，社交焦虑的人可能会发现，在线互动更容易保持匿名，而不是面对面的互动，在面对面的互动中，被别人观察可能会引起对负面评价的恐惧。根据自我调节模型，假设社交焦虑、低自我强度、焦虑和抑郁与使用互联网应对社交恐惧有关。结果部分与假设相符。讨论了这些发现的意义。(c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
A reasons for Internet Use Questionnaire was developed to examine the relationship between internet use, social anxiety, general anxiety, and depression. Research suggests that socially anxious individuals may find it easier to interact online where anonymity can be maintained rather than engage in face to face interaction where being observed by others might induce a fear of negative evaluation. In line with the self-regulation model, it was hypothesised that social anxiety, low ego strength, anxiety and depression, would be related to use of the internet to cope with social fears. The results were partially in line with the hypothesis. Implications of these findings are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
