Adolescence is an important stage of social development. While adolescents are prominent adopters of social media, little is known about whether digital interactions can fulfil the social needs of this age group. Here, we focus on one component of social interaction: self-disclosure. In a systematic review, we investigate the role of self-disclosure in adolescent relationships and the differences between online and offline self-disclosure. The results suggest that self-disclosure is associated with higher relationship quality and well-being. Online self-disclosure appears to be less fulfilling and beneficial for relationship quality than face-to-face self-disclosure. However, certain populations appear to benefit more from online than offline self-disclosure - such as highly anxious adolescents and boys aged 12-13 years, who prefer to first self-disclose online before engaging in offline self-disclosure. This suggests that both online and offline self-disclosure can play a role in fulfilling adolescent social needs.
青春期是社会发展的重要阶段。尽管青少年是社交媒体的主要使用者，但对于数字互动是否能够满足这一年龄群体的社交需求知之甚少。在这里，我们专注于社交互动的一个组成部分：自我表露。在一项系统评价中，我们调查了自我表露在青少年关系中的作用，以及线上和线下自我表露之间的差异。结果表明，自我表露与更高的关系质量和幸福感相关。与面对面的自我表露相比，线上自我表露似乎不太令人满意，对关系质量的益处也较小。然而，某些群体似乎从线上自我表露中获益更多，例如高度焦虑的青少年和 12-13 岁的男孩，他们更喜欢先在线上自我表露，然后再进行线下自我表露。这表明线上和线下自我表露都可以在满足青少年的社交需求方面发挥作用。
