The current study explored the mechanism of self-concealment on perceived social support among youth living alone and tried to clarify the two mediating variables, which are "psychological needs met through internet gratification" and "social self-esteem", by using the Self-Concealment Scale, the Psychological Needs met through Internet Gratification Scale, the Texas Social Behavior Inventory and the Perceived Social Support Scale. Four hundred thirty-three working youth living alone who have lived alone or shared no emotional intersection with others were chosen as participants in this study. The results showed that: (1) the correlation between self-concealment, perceived social support, psychological needs met via internet gratification and social self-esteem was significant; (2) self-concealment positively predicted perceived social support; (3) self-concealment indirectly predicted perceived social support through the chain mediating effect of "psychological needs met via internet gratification" and "social self-esteem". These results indicated that the self-concealment of youth living alone had a predictive effect on the perceived social support. The mechanisms of this effect included the direct effect of self-concealment and indirect effect through "psychological needs met via internet gratification" and "social self-esteem".
本研究旨在探讨独居青年的自我隐瞒对感知社会支持的作用机制，并试图通过使用自我隐瞒量表、通过互联网满足的心理需求量表、德克萨斯社会行为量表和感知社会支持量表来澄清两个中介变量，即“通过互联网满足的心理需求”和“社会自尊”。本研究选取了 433 名独自居住或与他人没有情感交集的独居青年作为参与者。结果表明：（1）自我隐瞒、感知社会支持、通过互联网满足的心理需求和社会自尊之间存在显著相关；（2）自我隐瞒正向预测感知社会支持；（3）自我隐瞒通过“通过互联网满足的心理需求”和“社会自尊”的链式中介效应间接预测感知社会支持。这些结果表明，独居青年的自我隐瞒对感知社会支持具有预测作用。这种影响的机制包括自我隐瞒的直接效应和通过“通过互联网满足的心理需求”和“社会自尊”的间接效应。
