Low sensation seeking and loneliness have been associated with collegiate Internet dependence. In an attempt to further explicate the factors associated with collegiate Internet dependence, interpersonal shyness (both online and in face-to-face [FTF] interactions) was explored. An online questionnaire was used to assess Internet dependency and shyness. The results demonstrated the predicted interaction such that shyness level for nondependents did not differ online or in FTF interactions. However, dependents' shyness was greater in FTF interactions relative to online interpersonal exchanges. The results were discussed in terms of how various Internet resources (e.g., e-mail, chat rooms, and instant messages) can be used to ameliorate shyness and how such negatively reinforced behavior could foster dependence.
低感觉寻求和孤独感与大学生网络依赖有关。为了进一步阐明与大学生网络依赖相关的因素，研究探讨了人际害羞（包括在线和面对面[FTF]互动中的害羞）。通过在线问卷来评估网络依赖和害羞程度。结果显示了预期的交互作用，即非依赖者在在线或面对面互动中的害羞程度没有差异。然而，相对于在线人际交流，依赖者在面对面互动中的害羞程度更高。研究结果从各种网络资源（如电子邮件、聊天室和即时消息）如何用于缓解害羞以及这种负面强化行为如何导致依赖的角度进行了讨论。
