Over the past few decades, the widespread phenomenon of Internet abuse has gained attention from the public, academia, and the media. In a departure from this negative viewpoint, however, researchers and educators have devoted considerable effort in attempting to understand the influence of online communication on people's psychological well-being. This study focuses specifically on Facebook, and proposes a research model to examine the relationships among Facebook use, online social support, general social support, and psychological well-being. Our results show that using Facebook helped college students to obtain online social support, and that online social support is an extension of general social support. However, although general social support contributes to well-being, online social support appears to have little direct effect on well-being. The relationship between online social support and well-being is mediated through the factor of general social support.
在过去的几十年中，互联网滥用的普遍现象引起了公众、学术界和媒体的关注。然而，与这种负面观点不同的是，研究人员和教育工作者已经投入了大量精力试图了解在线交流对人们心理健康的影响。本研究特别关注 Facebook，并提出了一个研究模型，以检验 Facebook 使用、在线社会支持、一般社会支持和心理健康之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，使用 Facebook 有助于大学生获得在线社会支持，并且在线社会支持是一般社会支持的延伸。然而，尽管一般社会支持有助于幸福感，但在线社会支持似乎对幸福感没有直接影响。在线社会支持和幸福感之间的关系是通过一般社会支持这一因素来调节的。
