Does using Facebook help people to meet their relatedness needs? Study 1 shows that more frequent Facebook usage paradoxically correlates with more relatedness satisfaction (connection) and more relatedness dissatisfaction (disconnection). Study 2 supports a 2-process explanation of this finding, showing that disconnection motivates greater usage as a coping strategy, whereas connection results from greater usage. Study 3 examines the effects of depriving participants of Facebook use for 48 hr. Further supporting the 2-process view, connection decreased, but disconnection was unaffected during the deprivation period; however, those who became more disconnected during the deprivation period engaged in more Facebook use during a 2nd, unconstrained 48-hr period, whereas changes in connection did not predict later use. In Study 4, participants set a Facebook reduction goal; initial disconnection interfered with and predicted worse performance in this goal. Implications for theories of psychological needs, behavioral motives, and adaptive coping are considered.
使用 Facebook 是否有助于人们满足他们的关联性需求？研究 1 表明，更频繁地使用 Facebook 反而与更高的关联性满足（联系）和更高的关联性不满足（脱节）相关。研究 2 支持了对这一发现的双过程解释，表明脱节促使人们更多地使用作为应对策略，而联系则来自更多的使用。研究 3 考察了剥夺参与者使用 Facebook 48 小时的影响。进一步支持双过程观点，联系在剥夺期间减少，但脱节不受影响；然而，在剥夺期间变得更加脱节的人在第二个不受限制的 48 小时期间会更多地使用 Facebook，而联系的变化则不能预测随后的使用。在研究 4 中，参与者设定了一个减少 Facebook 使用的目标；最初的脱节干扰并预测了这个目标的表现更差。考虑了对心理需求、行为动机和适应性应对理论的影响。
