Abstract

Abstract: Prior research has repeatedly found a positive relationship between sharing alcohol references on social media and drinking behavior. This study adds to the literature by testing for alcohol-related self-effects of social media use. We explored attitudes and self-concept as potential underlying mechanisms, and tested whether it is the depicted alcohol that elicits an effect or depiction of the associated socialness of going out with friends. This preregistered study ( N = 178) employed a fully-crossed 3 (drinking presentation: explicit v. implicit v. none) × 2 (socialness: with others v. alone) experimental design. A two-way MANOVA using Pillai’s trace tested for significant differences in attitudes, drinking and non-drinking identity, and drinking intentions across six self-presentation conditions. Neither an effect of alcohol self-presentation nor of socialness self-presentation on alcohol-related cognitions were identified. Findings raise important questions about the causality of the relationship between sharing alcohol posts on social media and drinking behavior.

摘要：先前的研究一再发现，在社交媒体上分享酒精参考资料与饮酒行为之间存在积极关系。这项研究通过测试社交媒体使用对酒精相关的自我影响来补充文献。我们探讨了态度和自我概念作为潜在的潜在潜在机制，并测试了是否是所描述的酒精引起了与朋友外出相关的社交性的影响或描述。这项预先注册的研究（N=178）采用了一个完全交叉的3（饮酒表现：显性与隐性与无）×2（社交性：与他人相处与单独相处）实验设计。使用皮莱轨迹的双向MANOVA测试了六种自我呈现条件下的态度、饮酒和非饮酒身份以及饮酒意图的显著差异。酒精自我呈现和社交自我呈现对酒精相关认知的影响均未确定。研究结果提出了关于社交媒体上分享酒精帖子与饮酒行为之间因果关系的重要问题。

期刊介绍： Journal of Media Psychology (JMP) is committed to publishing original, high-quality papers which cover the broad range of media psychological research. This peer-reviewed journal focuses on how human beings select, use, and experience various media as well as how media (use) can affect their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Submissions must substantially advance the current state-of the art on a theoretical and/or an empirical level. To name just a few typical fields and domains of inquiry, the Journal of Media Psychology considers manuscripts dealing with research on entertainment, computer-mediated communication (including social media), human-computer interaction, e-learning, computer and video games, virtual environments, or advertising. The journal is also open to research from neighboring disciplines as far as this work ties in with psychological concepts of the uses and effects of the media. Submissions of comparative work, e.g., crossmedia, cross-gender, or cross-cultural, are encouraged. Moreover, submissions including alternative analysis procedures such as the Bayesian approach are welcome. Starting in 2015, the pre-registration of research plans will also be possible. To ensure short turn-around cycles for manuscript review and fast publication, the Journal of Media Psychology relies heavily upon electronic communication and information exchange, starting from electronic submission and continuing throughout the entire review and production process.
