This longitudinal study investigated the extent to which the use of mobile phone text messages, including e-mail and short message service, affected freshmen's loneliness during the transition to college. A total of 83 freshmen completed measures of loneliness and social network at the beginning and end of their first semester. Perceived utility of mobile phone text messages was assessed at the beginning of the semester. Results showed that perceived functional usefulness and affiliation fulfillment of text messages affected formation of social network during the period. It was found that the higher the functional usefulness, the larger increase in the number of messages to college friends, and the higher the affiliation fulfillment, the less important the text messages to pre-college friends. Furthermore, it was noted that the more important the relationship with pre-college and college friends that was not dependent on text messages, and the fewer messages to pre-college friends, the less the loneliness. In contrast, greater importance of text messages to pre-college friends was associated with an increase in loneliness.
这项纵向研究调查了包括电子邮件和短信服务在内的手机短信使用在大一新生向大学生活过渡期间对其孤独感的影响程度。共有83名大一新生在第一学期开始和结束时完成了孤独感和社交网络的测量。在学期开始时评估了对手机短信的感知效用。结果表明，短信的感知功能有用性和归属满足感在这一时期影响了社交网络的形成。研究发现，功能有用性越高，给大学朋友发送的短信数量增加得越多，归属满足感越高，给高中朋友发送的短信就越不重要。此外，还注意到与高中和大学朋友的关系越重要（不依赖短信），给高中朋友发送的短信越少，孤独感就越少。相反，给高中朋友发送短信的重要性越高，孤独感就越强。
