项目摘要

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、发展性研究将捕获并编码青少年在互联网上最受欢迎的社交网站 Facebook 上的活动内容。根据大型全国性调查，73% 的青少年（12 - 17 岁）使用社交网站（Lenhart、Purcell、Smith 和 Zickuhr，2010 年）； 51% 的青少年每天查看社交网站，22% 的青少年每天查看超过 10 次（Common Sense Media，2009）。将为参加一项正在进行的关于社会和身体攻击的起源和结果的纵向研究（NICHD R01 HD060995，社会攻击：成长和结果）的青少年样本捕获并编码脸书通信。这项多方法、多信息的研究从参与者 9 岁和三年级时开始，每年对参与者的社会攻击和受害、人际关系和心理适应进行评估。三年前，在样本开始高中（九年级）之前的夏天，参与者获得了黑莓设备，其中包含由调查人员支付的服务计划，包括无限制的短信、互联网电子邮件访问以及语音分钟数有限。自 2008 年秋季以来，我们一直在捕获这些 BlackBerry 设备上发送和接收的所有短信和电子邮件的内容。在拟定的 Facebook 交流研究中，样本年龄为 17 或 18 岁，就读 12 年级（N = 200）。在拟议的为期两年的研究中，每年都会要求青少年参与者及其父母允许研究人员通过安装由 Akovi 公司开发的 Facebook 应用程序来访问青少年的 Facebook 通信。 Facebook应用程序将捕获参与者的Facebook通信内容：包括墙贴、状态更新、收件箱和相册。所有 Facebook 通信都将被捕获，而不仅仅是 BlackBerry 设备上的通信。 Facebook 内容将由 Arkvoi 存储，并保存在由一家名为 Global Relay 的公司维护的可搜索、灵活的在线档案中，以便以后进行编码和分析。第一个具体目标是研究 Facebook 背景下的社会攻击和网络欺凌，以及 Facebook 交流与线下社会攻击和受害之间的关系。第二个具体目标是调查 Facebook 活动与其他形式的电子通信（即短信、电子邮件）之间的关系，并调查不同形式的电子通信是否与与父母、同龄人和家人的关系的积极和消极质量有关。浪漫的伴侣。第三个具体目标是研究脸书交流的数量和质量与心理调节之间的关系。将拟议的 Facebook 交流调查添加到这项正在进行的纵向研究中，提供了一个独特的机会来研究 Facebook 交流如何与青少年的社会攻击和受害、发展社会关系以及青少年过渡到生活的发展时期的心理调整相关。远离家乡，可能会出现精神病理学症状。公共健康相关性：美国儿科学会最近报告称，社交媒体可能为青少年带来好处，例如增加社交联系和沟通的机会、学术机会以及获取健康信息的机会，但也警告说，使用社交媒体可能会带来网络风险欺凌、色情短信和 Facebook 抑郁症（O'Keefe、Clarke-Pearson 和传播与媒体委员会，2011 年）。研究脸书交流的内容可以揭示青少年社会关系的发展、青少年与陌生人交流的程度以及他们是否受到骚扰以及受到谁的骚扰。这些信息可能对青少年应在多大程度上自由使用 Facebook 产生重要的政策影响，例如，是否应允许青少年在学校使用 Facebook、家长可能希望在多大程度上监控 Facebook 活动、青少年从哪些人那里使用 Facebook 等。需要保护自己免受电子受害者的侵害，以及参与 Facebook 是否可以预测抑郁、焦虑、躯体不适、反社会行为以及边缘性和自恋型人格障碍的症状。
