Abstract

The present study explored the moderating roles of perceived responsiveness of SNS friends and self-esteem in the relationship between SNS use and perceived social support among college students. Using a panel owned by a research firm, a nationwide online survey was conducted (females N = 264, males N = 239). The results of regression analysis suggested that there is no significant main effect of SNS use but a significant main effect of perceived responsiveness of SNS friends. In addition, a three-way interaction effect was found among perceived responsiveness of SNS friends, SNS use, and self-esteem. This study contributes to elaboration of the extant research as well as providing practical implications to SNS-based intervention programs for college students' psychological well-being.

본 연구는 국내 대학생을 대상으로, 개인의 SNS이용과 사회적 지지 간의 관계에서 SNS 친구들의 반응 및 자아 존중감의 조절효과에 대해 살펴보았다. 전국의 대학생(여학생 N = 264, 남학생 N = 239)을 대상으로 실시한 설문조사자료를 활용해 회귀분석을 실시했다. 그 결과 SNS이용의 주효과는 나타나지 않았으나 SNS 친구들의 반응성 인식은 사회적 지지 인식에 대해 강한 주효과를 보였다. 또한 SNS 이용, SNS 친구들의 반응성 인식, 자아존중감 간의 삼원상호작용 효과가 나타났는데, 즉, 자아존중감이 낮은 대학생들 사이에서만 SNS 이용과 SNS 친구들의 반응성 인식 간의 상호작용 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구는 기존의 이론을 정교화하는데 기여하며, 대학생을 대상으로 한 SNS 기반 심리적 정신건강 중재 프로그램 설계를 위한 함의를 제공한다.
