There is still a question of whether online friendship predicts changes in face-to-face friendship (Reduction Hypothesis) or face-to-face friendship predicts changes in online friendship (Compensation Hypothesis) during adolescence.
The purpose of this study was to compare these two hypotheses to determine which comes first: online friendship or offline friendship.
Eighty adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 19 years (mean, 16.07 years; standard deviation, 1.28 years) on a non-traditional school track completed self-report questionnaires. Two wave longitudinal models were tested with the use of cross-lagged analysis to compare the hypotheses.
Analysis showed that negative face-to-face friendship quality predicted online friendship but that the opposite was not true.
The study's findings underlined the compensation role of online friendship for girls with poor or unsatisfactory offline social worlds. The implications of this information and suggestions for clinicians and professionals to use to enhance adolescent social skills and to promote appropriate use of the Internet will be discussed.
在青少年时期，网络友谊是预测面对面友谊的变化（减少假说），还是面对面友谊预测网络友谊的变化（补偿假说），这仍是一个问题。
本研究的目的是比较这两种假说，以确定哪个在先：网络友谊还是线下友谊。
80名年龄在14至19岁之间（平均16.07岁；标准差1.28岁）、就读于非传统学校的青春期女孩完成了自我报告问卷。使用交叉滞后分析测试了两个波次的纵向模型，以比较这些假说。
分析表明，负面的面对面友谊质量可预测网络友谊，但反之则不然。
该研究结果强调了网络友谊对线下社交世界不佳或不满意的女孩的补偿作用。将讨论这些信息的意义以及临床医生和专业人员用于提高青少年社交技能和促进合理使用互联网的建议。
