There is plenty of complaints about how social media—texting in particular—may be harming children’s social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging(IM’ing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those who are introverted(内向的).
British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of the participants were "regular" or "extensive" IM’ers. In the U. S. , two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.
The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IM’ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distress—not enough to completely eliminate it, but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.
"Our findings suggest that IM’ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provide emotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being," the authors write, noting that prior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face, implying a strengthening of their bond.
Why would digital communication trump human contact? The reasons are complex, but may have something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and other emotions via IM without revealing emotional elements like tears that some may perceive as embarrassing or sources of discomfort. Studies also show that the anonymity(匿名)of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may prompt people to feel more comfortable in sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings. Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can "vent" emotions and provide a sense of relief—and doing so knowing that your words are reaching a sympathetic friend may provide even more comfort and potentially be therapeutic.
Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extraverts(外向的)did. As Susan Cain, author of Quiet-. The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, wrote recently for TIME:
Introverts are often brimming over with thoughts and care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues. But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass from socializing or talking on the phone. This is what the Internet offers: the chance to connect—but in measured doses and from behind a screen.
What does the digital communication enable users to do?
选项
A、Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.
B、Produce more expressive writings.
C、Share and discuss more information.
D、Find more sympathetic friends.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本题考查电子通讯对人们交流的益处。南定位句可知,在电子通讯过程中,用户可以控制好悲伤及其他情绪的表达,因为即时通讯可以隐藏诸如眼泪等让人觉得尴尬或不适的情感元素,故本题答案为A)。B)“创作更多表达性的作品”文中并没有提及,故排除;C)“分享和讨论更多的内容”,文章第五段提到,研究还表明,在电子设备上匿名写作会使用户产生一种安全感,让人们敞开心扉去讨论他们最深入、最真实的感觉,这是匿名写作给人们交流带来的益处,对于题干来说,C)是片面的,故排除;D)“找到更多有同情心的朋友”是对第五段末句“你的文字如果让富有同情心的朋友看到了,他会给你更多的安慰”的错误理解,故排除。
