社交媒体技术（SMT）通常被认为是对数字福祉（DWB）的强大而普遍的威胁。延长的屏幕时间会话，通过通知的慢性分心以及碎片化的工作流程都被归咎于这些技术如何无情地破坏我们行使人类基本能力的能力。SMT能够做到这一点的一个原因是因为它们强烈地影响着我们的情绪。然而，（1）社交媒体技术如何影响我们的情感生活，以及（2）这些情感如何与我们的数字幸福感相关，这些问题仍然没有得到解决。纠正这一点很重要，因为对（1）和（2）的伦理见解为以积极加强我们的数字福祉的方式设计社交媒体技术提供了可能性。在这篇文章中，我们研究了社交媒体技术如何促进在线情感，因为情感的启示。这对于评估当今社交媒体平台的道德影响以及我们如何设计未来的社交媒体平台具有重要意义。
Social media technologies (SMTs) are routinely identified as a strong and pervasive threat to digital well-being (DWB). Extended screen time sessions, chronic distractions via notifications, and fragmented workflows have all been blamed on how these technologies ruthlessly undermine our ability to exercise quintessential human faculties. One reason SMTs can do this is because they powerfully affect our emotions. Nevertheless, (1) how social media technology affects our emotional life and (2) how these emotions relate to our digital well-being remain unexplored. Remedying this is important because ethical insights into (1) and (2) open the possibility of designing for social media technologies in ways that actively reinforce our digital well-being. In this article, we examine the way social media technologies facilitate online emotions because of emotional affordances. This has important implications for evaluating the ethical implications of today’s social media platforms, as well as for how we design future ones.
