社交媒体中网络社会支持对青年心理韧性的影响：自尊与一般自我效能感的中介作用

The Impact of Online Social Support in Social Media on Youth's Mental Resilience: The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem and General Self-Efficacy

Against the backdrop of digital social interaction being deeply integrated into daily life, contemporary youth often seek online social support through virtual interpersonal interactions when facing stress or difficulties. Consequently, online social support has become a new protective factor for the mental resilience of contemporary youth. Therefore, this study focused on the influence mechanism of online social support (emotional, informational, and instrumental support) on youth’s mental resilience, while exploring the mediating roles of self-esteem and general self-efficacy. A total of 215 youth aged 18-35 were surveyed using the Online Social Support Scale, Mental Resilience Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. SPSS was employed for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, and AMOS was used to test the mediating effects. The results showed that: (1) There were significant differences in gender and age: females and older groups exhibited higher mental resilience, and mental resilience showed a stepwise increase with age; (2) Online social support had a significant direct positive impact on mental resilience; (3) General Self-esteem and self-efficacy played partial mediating roles between online social support and mental resilience, revealing a chain pathway of “resource-cognition-adaptation”. This study provides empirical evidence for optimizing the protective effect of online social support (in social media) on mental resilience, and thus suggests actively guiding youth to proactively utilize highly supportive online social resources.

在数字化社交深度嵌入生活的背景下，当代青年遭受压力或困境时，往往在虚拟人际交往中寻求网络社会支持，网络社会支持已然成为当代青年心理韧性的新型保护因素。因此，本研究聚焦网络社会支持（情感、信息、工具支持）对青年心理韧性的影响机制，同时探讨自尊与一般自我效能感的中介作用。采用网络社会支持量表、心理韧性量表、自尊与一般自我效能感量表，对215 名18-35 岁青年展开研究，运用SPSS 进行描述性统计与相关分析，AMOS 进行中介效应检验。研究结果发现：（1）性别与年龄差异显著，女性及年长群体心理韧性更高，且心理韧性随年龄增长呈阶梯式提升；（2）网络社会支持对心理韧性具有显著的直接正向影响；（3）自尊与一般自我效能感在网络社会支持与心理韧性间起部分中介作用，揭示“资源—认知—适应”链式作用路径。本研究为优化社交媒体中网络社会支持对心理韧性的保护作用提供实证依据，因此建议积极引导青年主动利用高支持性的网络社交资源。
