Growing up in networked spaces: Tech-savvy youth constructing identities and forming social relations in online and offline worlds

这项研究的重点是在线和离线世界提出了一些重要问题，这些问题直接关系到青年参与澳大利亚的全球知识经济，特别是青年参与在线技术，以及他们作为文化材料和实践的消费者和生产者的经历。该项目关注在以变化为特征的世界中成长的青年的重要方面，这对他们的社会福祉和身份形成具有高度相关性。学校、高等教育机构和国家青年机构将从这项研究的结果中受益，了解他们如何理解青年在新时代和新空间中不断变化的身份。

This study's focus on online and offline worlds raises significant issues that relate directly to youth's participation in Australia's global knowledge-based economy, particularly youth's engagement with online technologies, and their experiences as consumers and producers of cultural materials and practices. The project's concern with significant aspects of youth growing up in a world characterised by change is highly relevant for its impact on their social wellbeing and identity formation. Schools, tertiary institutions and national youth agencies will benefit from the results of this study in terms of how they understand youth's changing identities in these new times and new spaces.
