The Research Progress and Prospects of Overuse of Social Network—Based on the I-PACE Model Perspective

摘要

社交网络已经成为人们生活中不可缺少的一部分，而社交网络过度使用会对使用者的身心产生消极影响，因此探讨社交网络过度使用的形成机制就成为研究者关注的重要问题。本研究基于I-PACE模型，综述了社交网络过度使用影响因素的研究进展。并在此基础上，分析了已有研究中存在的问题：社交网络过度使用的相关术语没有被清晰界定和区分，研究被试和研究方法单一，且缺少干预的实证研究。因此，基于以上分析，我们认为未来的研究应对社交网络过度使用的概念做出进一步的澄清，利用多维度的方法开展研究，加强对社交网络过度使用行为的干预研究，且研究被试的选择应多样化。 Social network has been an indispensable part of our lives, while overuse of social network (OSN) has a negative effect on our bodies and mind. It’s, therefore, important for researchers to explore the formation mechanism of OSN. The present study summed up the research progress of OSN based on the I-PACE Model, and analyzed drawbacks of existing researches: firstly, subjects are only limited to college students; secondly, methods to collect data are relatively sample; thirdly relevant terms are misused. In addition to the above problems, the following defects still exist: the interven-tion study is ignored and I-PACE model needs more modifications. Based on above analysis, the present study put forward five research prospects: 1) Relevant terms should be defined precisely, 2) Research subjects should be more diverse, 3) Modify the I-PACE model, 4) Integrate multiple methods to carry out research, 5) Strengthen intervention study on OSN.
