正向因應資源與負向情緒反應對網路成癮之影響：以臺大大學部新生為例

Abstract

研究背景：網路成癮為當前備受關注的公共議題，在青少年族群（adolescents）與成年初顯期族群（young adults）之比例漸增。過往研究指出大學新生正處在青少年至成年初顯期之過渡階段，同時面臨發展任務及校園適應等多重壓力，可能因此產生情緒困擾，透過使用網路作為因應策略，進而提高網路成癮之風險。本研究奠基於補償性網路使用模型（a model of compensatory Internet use）與自我藥療（self-medication）之觀點，著重探究網路成癮之心理面向，欲瞭解正向因應資源、負向情緒反應及網路成癮之關係，並聚焦探討三種不同類型的正向因應資源之相對重要性。研究方法：本研究先修訂正向因應資源量表與負向情緒反應量表，並檢驗其心理計量特性。接續以111學年度臺大大學部新生作為研究對象（n = 916），以線上自陳式問卷進行施測。研究結果：（一）臺大新生的網路成癮比例為18.7%，女性（53.2%）的比例高於男性（46.8%）。（二）網路成癮組在正向因應資源顯著低於非網路成癮組，而在負向情緒反應顯著高於非網路成癮組。（三）整體模型適配度良好，然僅有正向因應資源中的自我資源透過負向情緒反應對網路成癮存在中介效果。討論：本研究發現整體而言，大學新生的自我資源為相對重要的正向因應資源，而社會資源相對較薄弱，可據此提供學校端相關之具體建議，以協助大學新生適應校園生活。

Background: Internet addiction is a public issue of great concern nowadays, and the prevalence of adolescents and young adults is increasing. Previous studies have pointed out that freshmen are in the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. During such a period, they face multiple pressures, such as developmental tasks and campus adjustment. As a result, they may experience more emotional distress and take Internet use as a coping strategy. And thus so, they may be at increasing risk of Internet addiction. Based on a model of compensatory Internet use and self-medication, this study attempted to investigate the psychological aspects of Internet addiction, to understand the relationship between positive coping resources, negative emotional responses, and Internet addiction, and to explore the relative importance of three different positive coping resources. Methods: This study first revised the Positive Coping Resources Scale and Negative Emotional Responses Scale, and examined their psychometric properties. Then, the online self-report questionnaire was administered to freshmen of the 111th academic year at NTU (n = 916). Results: (1) The percentage of NTU freshmen with Internet addiction was 18.7%, with a higher percentage in females (53.2%) than males (46.8%). (2) The Internet addiction group displayed significantly less positive coping resources and more negative emotional responses as compared to the non-Internet addiction group. (3) The overall model fit was good, but only the self-resource of the positive coping resources well predicted Internet addiction through the mediating effect of negative emotional responses. Discussions: The results of this study reveal that self-resources are relatively important positive coping resources for freshmen, as compared top other social resources. Accordingly, we can provide concrete suggestions to help freshmen adapting their campus life.
