微信與親子溝通：以中國遠距家庭為例

Abstract

親子分隔兩地是遠距家庭常見的形態，而微信則成為遠距家庭溝通的重要渠道。 本研究深度訪談20戶中國遠距家庭，探討微信的出現後，遠距家庭溝通有何種變化。研究發現，微信的出現，為親子溝通帶來新的機會，親子溝通在溝通頻率、表達愛意、自我揭露等方面都有所改變。微信尤其給子女與父親的溝通帶來轉機。總體來說，微信對親子溝通的正面效果大於負面，但是這種效果會受到親子本身溝通質量的影響，親子溝通順暢的家庭，微信的作用多為正面；親子溝通較差的家庭，微信的出現，可能是機會，也可能是矛盾顯化的加速器。同時，微信的出現也讓部分家庭成員「邊緣化」，無法加入家庭線上溝通。

Long-distance families ,where parents and children live apart, are common. Wechat then become an important plartform for parent-child communicaton. By in-deepth interviewing with 20 long-distance families, I explored how long-distance families communication changes after Wehcat was adopted by in long-distance families. The research results showed that Wechat provide long-ditance families new opportunities in communication. Parent-child communication changes in the frequency of communication, expressing love, self disclosure and soon. Especially, Wechat brings better turn to the communication between father and children. Overall, Wechat bring parent-child communication more positive effects than negative effects, but the effects are influenced by the communication condition of one family. Families that have good communication, affected by Wechat positively. Families that can’t communicate effectively, may have a better turn in parent-child communication when Wechat was adopted, but face a more visible contradiction between children and parents. In the meantime, some family members feel marginalized, they cann’t join the online family communication.
