Abstract:
|
Despite widespread concerns about the dangers of adolescents' online communication with strangers, we know little about (a) which types of adolescents talk with strangers; (b) what motivates them to do so; and (c) what consequences this has for romantic relationship formation. Drawing on a survey among 490 adolescents, we found a nonlinear age effect, indicating that early adolescents (12- to 14-year-olds) were most prone to talk with strangers on the Internet. In contrast to earlier research, introversion was not related to adolescents tendency to talk with strangers. The motives of entertainment, meeting new people, and social compensation increased adolescents' online communication with strangers. Adolescents online communication with strangers did not enhance their probability to establish online romantic relationships. |
