在互联网的早期，传统观点和学术界都认为在线交流对福祉构成威胁。后来的研究使这一情况变得复杂，提供了关于技术介导的沟通如何影响用户的混合证据。随着社交网站的出现，这个问题比以往任何时候都更加重要。对社交网站上大量研究的仔细研究表明，相互矛盾的结果可以通过单一的理论方法来调和：人际联系行为框架。具体来说，我们建议社交网站在用户用于建立有意义的社交联系时对其用户有利，而在不进行有意义的社交联系时则通过诸如孤立和社交比较等陷阱来伤害用户。现有研究中显示的使用社交网站的优点和缺点很大程度上可以通过这种方法来解释，这也提出了在未来的研究中研究特定在线行为的需要。
In the early days of the Internet, both conventional wisdom and scholarship deemed online communication a threat to well-being. Later research has complicated this picture, offering mixed evidence about how technology-mediated communication affects users. With the dawn of social network sites, this issue is more important than ever. A close examination of the extensive body of research on social network sites suggests that conflicting results can be reconciled by a single theoretical approach: the interpersonal-connection-behaviors framework. Specifically, we suggest that social network sites benefit their users when they are used to make meaningful social connections and harm their users through pitfalls such as isolation and social comparison when they are not. The benefits and drawbacks of using social network sites shown in existing research can largely be explained by this approach, which also posits the need for studying specific online behaviors in future research.
