摘要: 本研究旨在探讨网络社会支持对大学生印象管理的影响及面子威胁的中介作用。采用网络社会支持量表、面子威胁敏感性量表及印象管理量表，对532名在校大学生进行问卷调查。结果表明：(1) 网络社会支持对印象管理具有显著的正向预测作用；(2) 面子威胁在两者间起部分中介作用，即网络社会支持不仅直接正向影响印象管理，还能通过增强面子威胁感知间接强化印象管理。研究将面子威胁界定为网络社交情境中的社会评价激活信号，为理解大学生线上自我呈现行为提供了本土化的实证解释。
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the influence of online social support on college students’ impression management, with a focus on the mediating role of face threat. A questionnaire survey was administered to 532 college students using the Online Social Support Scale, Face Threat Sensitivity Scale, and Impression Management Scale. The results indicate that: (1) Online social support has a significant positive predictive effect on impression management; (2) Face threat partially mediates the relationship between the two variables—that is, online social support not only directly enhances impression management but also indirectly reinforces it by increasing perceived face threat. The study conceptualizes face threat as an activation signal of social evaluation within online social contexts, providing an empirically grounded and culturally adapted explanation for understanding the online self-presentation behaviors of college students.
