摘要:

网络适应作为当代青少年成长至关重要的环节, 其复杂多维的内部属性仍未得到系统探讨。本研究首次采用网络分析方法探讨青少年网络适应的核心特征、动态演变以及外部联结。横断网络分析揭示了青少年网络适应中好奇心的“双刃剑”作用, 即过高或过低的好奇心均不利于网络适应的发展。网络比较结果显示, 青少年的网络适应具有整体的稳定性, 但其拓扑属性会发生内部流转。交叉滞后网络分析表明, 网络自我效能在网络适应发展过程中起“总舵手”作用, 而网络学习能力和网络信息搜索是青少年网络适应的重要“落脚点”。二元交叉滞后网络分析指出, 网络信息保护对网络成瘾具有最显著的直接影响。本研究不仅为理解青少年在数字世界中的成功适应提供了全新视角, 也为新时代的数字化教育实践提供了重要启示。

Abstract:

As the saying goes, “Survival of the fittest”. Nowadays, the Internet has become a critical channel for information acquisition, social interaction, and educational learning. Adolescents’ internet adaptation capabilities must be continuously improved to adapt to this rapidly developing information age. Internet adaptation is inherently a “multidimensional system” encompassing various stages and dimensions. However, there remains a gap in the research exploring the internal topological characteristics and functional mechanisms of internet adaptation. Consequently, this study aims to employ network analysis techniques to elucidate the core characteristics, internal structure, dynamic evolution, and relationships with external variables of adolescents’ internet adaptation through network analysis. This approach will offer a comprehensive framework for understanding adolescents’ successful adaptation in the digital age and provide scientific insights for preventing and intervening in adolescent internet addiction.

This study collected all data through paper-and-pencil questionnaires. At Time 1, valid data were obtained from 5783 participants (Males for 37.4%, Mage = 17.20 years, SD = 2.62). Five months later, data from 1235 of these participants were tracked (Males for 38%, Mage = 14.98 years, SD = 1.66). Based on the research objectives, we conducted cross-sectional network analysis, network comparison, and cross-lagged network analysis. All cross-sectional and cross-lagged network analyses were primarily conducted using R (V.4.3.2). Network visualizations were created with the qgraph package (version 1.9.5). The accuracy of edge estimates was assessed by performing 1000 bootstrap iterations to construct 95% non-parametric bootstrap confidence intervals for each edge.

In the cross-sectional network of internet adaptation, “Internet curiosity” is the node with the highest strength (1.18). Network comparison results indicate no significant difference in the overall strength between the T1 (3.52) and the T2 network (3.79) (p = 0.120), although the network invariance test result is significant (p < 0.001). The cross-lagged network analysis shows that “Internet self-efficacy” has the strongest out-expected influence (0.60), “Internet learning ability” and “Internet information searching” has the strongest in-expected influence (0.31 & 0.30). Additionally, the cross-lagged network analysis of internet adaptation and internet addiction reveals that “Internet information protection capability” exhibits the strongest outgoing predictive ability.

The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Adolescent internet adaptation is characterized by its dynamic and staged nature; (2) Adolescents’ internet curiosity plays a multifaceted role in their internet adaptation process: insufficient curiosity can lead to low internet self-efficacy, while excessive curiosity can result in poor internet self-control; (3) Internet self-efficacy has the most significant impact on the overall development of internet adaptation, serving as the “primary driving force”. (4) Internet learning ability and internet information search receive the most internal influence, constituting the main “landing point” of adolescents’ internet adaptation. (5) Internet information protection is the strongest predictor of cross-cluster outgrowth of internet addiction networks, acting as a “guardian” of adolescents’ internet adaptation.
