Social Aggression: Growth, Outcomes, and Digital Communication

 描述（由申请人提供）：学习数字通信提供了“一个窗口，进入青少年同龄人文化的秘密世界”（格林菲尔德和严，2006年，第392页）。根据大型的全国性调查，80%的在线青少年（12 - 17岁）使用社交网站（Madden等人，2013年）。12 - 17岁的青少年报告说，他们平均每天发送60条短信（Lenhart，2012年），许多人声称，如果他们无法获得短信，他们的社交生活将结束或严重受损（54%的女孩和40%的男孩，CTIA，2008年）。我们正在进行的纵向研究，NICHD R 01 HD 060995，社会攻击：成长和结果，将调查社会攻击如何在数字通信中展开，并与心理社会调整有关，在童年中期观察到的亲子和儿童朋友关系的质量如何预测青少年后期在线和离线社会攻击的发展，以及数字传播如何更广泛地影响青少年的适应。这项对不同样本的纵向研究采用多种措施和信息提供者，研究了10年来的社会攻击和受害情况，包括对10 - 13岁的父母-子女和儿童-朋友互动的观察，以及包含参与者短信通信内容的档案（4.5年）和Facebook通信（2年）。这项研究提供了难得的机会，探讨青少年的离线关系，社会情绪调整，和数字通信之间的关系，从早期到后期的青春期。 该应用程序要求支持进行最先进的统计分析，对我们的数字通信数据进行额外编码，调查 在社会攻击和数字通信方面可能存在的种族差异，并探讨是否可能对大型档案进行去识别，以便与其他调查人员共享。由于关系和调整的质量是由多个被调查者每年评估的，我们将能够使用自回归潜在轨迹和增长混合模型来研究社会攻击（和受害）和调整如何在童年中期到青春期后期的年龄范围内相互促进。使用二元增长曲线和一与多的设计分析，然后将研究如何与父母和朋友在童年中期的关系动态与社会侵略和受害的长期发展。探索其他特定的社会过程（例如，异常的同伴谈话，共同反刍，亲社会行为和支持的规定）在数字通信可能涉及到心理调整，我们建议进行额外的数字通信编码，使用语言解释字数（LIWC）软件和我们的细粒度微编码系统。我们将咨询一位数据匿名化专家，以探索去识别大型数字通信档案的可能性，以便其他研究人员可以对其进行研究。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Studying digital communication provides "a window into the secret world of adolescent peer culture" (Greenfield & Yan, 2006, p. 392). According to large, national surveys, 80% of online teens (12 - 17) use social networking sites (Madden et al., 2013). Youth ages 12 - 17 report sending an average of 60 text messages per day (Lenhart, 2012), and many claim that their social lives would end or be seriously impaired if they could not have access to text messaging (54% of girls and 40% of boys, CTIA, 2008). This proposed renewal of our ongoing longitudinal study, NICHD R01 HD060995, Social Aggression: Growth and Outcomes, will investigate how social aggression unfolds in digital communication and relates to psychosocial adjustment, how qualities of parent-child and child-friend relationships observed in middle childhood predict the development of social aggression online and offline through late adolescence, and how digital communication relates to adolescents' adjustment more broadly. This longitudinal study of a diverse sample examines social aggression and victimization across 10 years with multiple measures and informants, including observations of parent-child and child-friend interactions yearly from ages 10 - 13 and archives containing the content of participants' text messaging communication (for 4.5 years) and Facebook communication (for 2 years). This study offers the rare opportunity to examine relations among adolescents' offline relationships, socioemotional adjustment, and digital communication, from early through late adolescence. This application requests support for conducting state-of-the-art statistical analyses, performing additional coding of our digital communication data, investigating possible ethnic differences in social aggression and digital communication, and exploring the possibility of de-identifying the large archive so that it can be shared with other investigators. Because qualities of relationships and adjustment were assessed yearly by multiple informants, we will be able to investigate how social aggression (and victimization) and adjustment contribute to each other across the age range of middle childhood through late adolescence using autoregressive latent trajectory and growth-mixture models. Analyses using the dyadic growth curve and the one-with-many design will then examine how relationship dynamics with parents and friends in middle childhood relate to the long-term development of social aggression and victimization. To explore how other specific social processes (e.g., deviant peer talk, co-rumination, prosocial behavior, and provisions of support) in digital communication might relate to psychological adjustment, we propose to conduct additional coding of digital communication, using both Linguistic Interpretive Word Count (LIWC) software and our fine-grained microcoding systems. We will consult with an expert in data anonymization to explore possibilities for de- identifying the large archive of digital communication so that it could studid by other investigators.
