Abstract Given the widespread use of social networking sites across the world and their importance in people’s lives, explaining users’ well-being on these platforms is certainly worthy of research inquiry. However, little attention has been given to well-being in the context of social networks. Building on the dual process model of the self-determination theory, we hypothesized that for the relatedness need, 1 of 3 basic psychological needs, its satisfaction (RNS) and frustration (RNF) might trigger different motivations (autonomous vs. controlled) and in turn affect people’s social networking well-being. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires from 494 freshmen (Mage = 18.81 ± 0.92 years, 190 men). Structural equation modeling analyses supported the hypothesized model: Autonomous and controlled motivations partially mediated the relationship between RNS or RNF and social networking well-being. Specifically, RNS was significantly related to positive affect in social networks, being mediated by autonomous motivation. RNF was significantly related to negative affect and general well-being in social networks, with the former relation being mediated by controlled motivation. It can be concluded that RNS and RNF play pivotal but distinct roles in shaping individuals’ motivation and further exert an important influence on the level of well- or ill-being during social networking usage. Implications for future research are discussed.

相关性需要满足或沮丧和动机如何与社交网站上的幸福感相关

摘要 鉴于社交网站在世界各地的广泛使用及其在人们生活中的重要性,解释用户在这些平台上的幸福感当然值得研究探究。然而,在社交网络的背景下,人们很少关注幸福感。基于自我决定理论的双重过程模型,我们假设对于相关性需求,3 个基本心理需求中的 1 个,其满意度 (RNS) 和挫败感 (RNF) 可能会触发不同的动机(自主与受控),并且在反过来影响人们的社交网络幸福感。通过 494 名新生(Mage = 18.81 ± 0.92 岁,190 名男性)的自我报告问卷收集数据。结构方程建模分析支持假设模型:自主和受控的动机部分调节了 RNS 或 RNF 与社交网络幸福感之间的关系。具体来说,RNS 与社交网络中的积极影响显着相关,由自主动机介导。RNF与社交网络中的负面影响和总体幸福感显着相关,前一种关系由受控动机调节。可以得出结论,RNS 和 RNF 在塑造个人动机方面发挥着关键但不同的作用,并进一步对社交网络使用过程中的幸福或不幸程度产生重要影响。讨论了对未来研究的影响。以自主动机为中介。RNF与社交网络中的负面影响和总体幸福感显着相关,前一种关系由受控动机调节。可以得出结论,RNS 和 RNF 在塑造个人动机方面发挥着关键但不同的作用,并进一步对社交网络使用过程中的幸福或不幸程度产生重要影响。讨论了对未来研究的影响。以自主动机为中介。RNF与社交网络中的负面影响和总体幸福感显着相关,前一种关系由受控动机调节。可以得出结论,RNS 和 RNF 在塑造个人动机方面发挥着关键但不同的作用,并进一步对社交网络使用过程中的幸福或不幸程度产生重要影响。讨论了对未来研究的影响。
