DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This exploratory, developmental study will capture and code the content of adolescents' activity on the most popular social networking site on the Internet, Face book. According to large, national surveys, 73% of teens (12 - 17) use social networking sites (Lenhart, Purcell, Smith, & Zickuhr, 2010); 51% of teens check social networking sites daily, and 22% check more than 10 times per day (Common Sense Media, 2009). Face book communication will be captured and coded for a sample of adolescents participating in an ongoing longitudinal study of origins and outcomes of social and physical aggression (NICHD R01 HD060995, Social Aggression: Growth and Outcomes). This multi-method, multi-informant study began when participants were 9 years old and in the 3rd grade and has involved yearly assessments of participants' social aggression and victimization, relationships, and psychological adjustment. Three years ago, in the summer before the sample started high school (9th grade), participants were given BlackBerry devices with service plans paid for by the investigators, including unlimited text messaging, internet access for email, and a limited number of voice minutes. Since the fall of 2008, we have been capturing the content of all text messaging and email sent and received on these BlackBerry devices. At the time of the proposed study of Face book communication, the sample will be 17 or 18 years old and in the 12th grade (N = 200). In each year of the proposed two year study, adolescent participants and their parents will be asked to grant permission for the investigators to access the adolescents' Face book communication by installing a Face book application developed by a company called Arkovi. The Face book application will capture the content of participants' Face book communication: including the wall posts, status updates, inbox, and photo albums. All Face book communication will be captured, not only that on the BlackBerry devices. Face book content will be stored by Arkvoi and maintained in a searchable, flexible online archive maintained by a company called Global Relay for later coding and analysis. The first specific aim will be to examine social aggression and cyber bullying in the context of Face book and how Face book communication relates to offline social aggression and victimization. The second specific aim will be to investigate relations between Face book activity and other forms of electronic communication (i.e., text messaging, email) and to investigate whether different forms of electronic communication relate to positive and negative qualities of relationships with parents, peers, and romantic partners. The third specific aim will be to examine relations between quantity and quality of Face book communication and psychological adjustment. Adding the proposed investigation of Face book communication to this ongoing longitudinal study provides a unique opportunity to examine how Face book communication relates to adolescents' social aggression and victimization, developing social relationships, and psychological adjustment in a developmental period in which youth are transitioning to living away from home and in which symptoms of psychopathology may emerge. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The American Academy of Pediatrics recently reported that social media may offer adolescents benefits such as increased opportunities for social connection and communication, academic opportunities, and access to health information, but also warned that use of social media may confer risk for cyber bullying, sexting, and Face book depression (O'Keefe, Clarke-Pearson, and Council on Communications and Media, 2011). Studying the content of Face book communication could reveal much about adolescents' developing social relationships, the extent to which youth communicate with strangers, and if they are harassed, by whom. This information could have important policy implications for how much free access adolescents should have to Face book, for example, whether adolescents should be allowed to use Face book at school, the extent to which parents might want to monitor Face book activity, from whom youth need to be protected against electronic victimization, and whether Face book involvement predicts symptoms of depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, antisocial behavior, and features of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项探索性发展研究将在Internet上最受欢迎的社交网站上捕获和编码青少年活动的内容，Face Book。根据大型国家调查，有73％的青少年（12-17）使用社交网站（Lenhart，Purcell，Smith，＆Zickuhr，2010年）；每天有51％的青少年检查社交网站，每天检查22％的检查时间超过10次（常识媒体，2009年）。面对书籍的交流将被捕获并编码，以参与正在进行的对社会和身体侵略结果的纵向研究的青少年样本（NICHD R01 HD060995，社会侵略：成长和成果）。这项多方法，多知识的研究始于参与者9岁，并在三年级时，并涉及对参与者的社会侵略和受害，关系和心理调整的年度评估。三年前，在样本开始高中（9年级）的夏天，为参与者提供了黑莓设备，并提供了调查人员支付的服务计划，包括无限的文本消息，互联网访问电子邮件和A 语音分钟数量有限。自2008年秋天以来，我们一直在捕获这些BlackBerry设备上发送和接收的所有文本消息的内容。在拟议的面部书籍交流研究时，样本将为17或18岁，在12年级（n = 200）。在拟议的两年研究的每一年中，青少年参与者及其父母将被要求允许调查人员通过安装由一家名为Arkovi的公司开发的面部书籍申请，以访问青少年的面部书籍通信。 Face Book应用程序将捕获参与者的面部书籍交流的内容：包括墙壁帖子，状态更新，收件箱和相册。所有面部书籍交流都将被捕获，而不仅仅是在黑莓设备上。 Face Book内容将由Arkvoi存储，并保存在可搜索的，灵活的在线档案馆中，该档案由一家名为Global Relay的公司维护，用于以后的编码和分析。第一个具体目的是在面部书籍的背景下检查社会侵略和网络欺凌，以及Face Book Communication与离线社会侵略和受害之间的关系。第二个具体目的是调查面部书籍活动与其他形式的电子通信（即文本消息，电子邮件）之间的关系，并研究不同形式的电子通信是否与与父母，同龄人和浪漫伙伴关系的正面和负面质量有关。第三个具体目的是检查面部书籍交流和心理调整的数量与质量之间的关系。在这项正在进行的纵向研究中加上对面部书籍交流的拟议调查提供了一个独特的机会，可以研究Face Book Communication如何与青少年的社会侵略和受害，发展社会关系以及在年轻人过渡到远离家乡生活以及心理病理学的症状可能出现的发展时期的心理调整。 PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The American Academy of Pediatrics recently reported that social media may offer adolescents benefits such as increased opportunities for social connection and communication, academic opportunities, and access to health information, but also warned that use of social media may confer risk for cyber bullying, sexting, and Face book depression (O'Keefe, Clarke-Pearson, and Council on Communications and Media, 2011).研究面部书籍交流的内容可以揭示有关青少年发展社会关系的大量内容，年轻人与陌生人沟通的程度，以及如果他们受到骚扰。 This information could have important policy implications for how much free access adolescents should have to Face book, for example, whether adolescents should be allowed to use Face book at school, the extent to which parents might want to monitor Face book activity, from whom youth need to be protected against electronic victimization, and whether Face book involvement predicts symptoms of depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, antisocial behavior, and features of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.
