Most previous studies assert the negative effect of loneliness on social life and an individual's well-being when individuals use the Internet. To expand this previous research tradition, the current study proposes a model to test whether loneliness has a direct or indirect effect on well-being when mediated by self-disclosure and social support. The results show that loneliness has a direct negative impact on well-being but a positive effect on self-disclosure. While self-disclosure positively influences social support, self-disclosure has no impact on well-being, and social support positively influences well-being. The results also show a full mediation effect of social support in the self-disclosure to well-being link. The results imply that even if lonely people's well-being is poor, their well-being can be enhanced through the use of SNSs, including self-presentation and social support from their friends.
大多数先前的研究都声称,当个体使用互联网时,孤独感对社交生活和个人幸福感有负面影响。为了扩展这一先前的研究传统,本研究提出了一个模型,以测试当自我表露和社会支持中介时,孤独感是否对幸福感有直接或间接的影响。结果表明,孤独感对幸福感有直接的负面影响,但对自我表露有积极影响。虽然自我表露对社会支持有积极影响,但自我表露对幸福感没有影响,而社会支持对幸福感有积极影响。研究结果还显示,社会支持在自我表露与幸福感之间存在完全中介效应。研究结果表明,即使孤独的人的幸福感较差,他们也可以通过使用 SNS 来增强幸福感,包括自我呈现和朋友的社会支持。
