网络互动的社会功能分析

关于网络互动的研究大体是沿着两个理论框架展开:一是社会互动理论,二是符号学的视角。从这两种分析框架出发,学者们深入探讨了网络互动的过程和形式,即互动行为本身。但是网络行动除了动机和意义外,更对互动参与者以及他人产生了影响和作用。这种影响和作用表现在对他人影响的隐功能、互动者在互动过程中获取了情感支持的功能以及对互动者的社会化功能等三个方面。

Analyzing the Social Functions of Network Interaction

Currently, researching of network interaction, in general, proceeds along two theoretical frames: the theory of social interaction, and semiotic perspective. Although the process and forms of network interaction (i.e. interactive behaviors) are revealed by scholars following the two ways, this behavior's influences and functions over participants and other people involved remain a problem, despite its motivation and self-meaning. This paper suggests the affects and roles illustrated in three aspects: concealed functions upon others, emotional support acquired in the interactions, and function of socialization toward participants.
