The relationships of Internet use, web communication, and sources of social support with adolescent self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) in Taiwan were investigated. The study sample of 391 12 to 18-year-olds was selected from nine public high schools. Findings show that girls are more likely to have SITBs, except for suicide gestures. Web communication is a risk factor for SITBs in boys but not in girls. Family support is protective in both genders. Support from friends is protective and support from significant others was a risk factor for suicide plans in girls. Support from virtual social communities can have both positive and negative effects on adolescent SITBs, with different effects by gender.
本研究调查了台湾青少年的网络使用、网络交流及社会支持来源与青少年自我伤害想法和行为（SITBs）之间的关系。研究样本为来自九所公立高中的391名12至18岁的青少年。研究结果表明，除自杀姿态外，女孩更有可能出现自我伤害想法和行为。网络交流是男孩出现自我伤害想法和行为的一个风险因素，而女孩则不然。家庭支持对两性都具有保护作用。朋友的支持具有保护作用，而重要他人的支持是女孩自杀计划的一个风险因素。虚拟社交社区的支持对青少年的自我伤害想法和行为可能既有积极影响也有消极影响，且对不同性别的影响有所不同。
