About this study
The entry point of this project is the social background of the post-epidemic era, with teenagers and parents as the research object, aims to explore the relationship between family communication disorders and adolescent negative network use behavior in the post-epidemic era. This project intends to investigate whether there are family communication disorders and negative Internet use behaviors among 14-25 year old teenagers by issuing questionnaires (sample size: 140). In order to conclude whether there is some connection between family communication disorder and adolescent negative network use behavior.
Read the detailed description
This research project takes the "post-epidemic era" as the background entry point, and explores the relationship between teenagers' negative Internet use behavior and family communication by using questionnaires. Through literature review, it is obtained that family communication disorders may be related to adolescents' emotional changes with their parents, limited peer interaction, and changes in the structure of their lives. In order to avoid the negative feelings brought by family communication barriers, adolescents tend to turn to other areas such as virtual networks to compensate and regain happiness, which can easily lead to negative Internet use behaviors if they are not careful. By studying the "loss of compensation" model proposed by Chinese scholar Gao Wenbin, the application of the "loss of compensation" model to family communication disorders and adolescents' negative Internet use behavior is derived. In this context, if we can study the correlation between family communication barriers and adolescents' negative Internet use behaviors, it will be beneficial to ease the parent-child relationship, correct adolescents' negative Internet use behaviors, and promote the healthy growth of adolescents.
