数媒时代焦虑、抑郁与社会比较的关系
The relationship between anxiety,depression and social comparison in an era of digital media
摘要
Abstract
The prevalence of anxiety and depression has escalated,prompting the current study to investigate the antecedents and coping strategies for these conditions in the digital media era.A theoretical framework grounded in affective events theory and social comparison theory is built to elucidate the relationships between social comparison and anxiety and depression,acknowledging that such relationships are contingent upon the influences of the social media environment.This review unveils that negative social comparison(upward comparison and downward assimilation comparison)exerts a deleterious impact on anxiety and depression,with social networking applications catalyzing these adverse effects.Conversely,emotional comparison(i.e.,social comparison of emotions)and downward contrast comparison are positively associated with alleviated anxiety and depression,as online health communities fostered a supportive milieu for emotional comparison,thereby helping to mitigate these conditions.This study extends social comparison theory in the realm of emotion and identifies the affordance of online health communities for coping with anxiety and depression.The implications for the principles of design,management,and operation of such communities are further discussed.关键词
