    Abstract: 跨文化適應常常伴隨著如家鄉病和焦慮之類的心理困擾感,寄宿者依靠社會支持來維持他們在東道國的心理健康。先前的研究發現,居家旅行者通過社交媒體獲得社會支持,這可以幫助他們查找信息,結識新朋友並與原籍國成員保持聯繫。近年來,社交媒體使用對居家心理調節的影響已引起學術界的關注。但是,大多數研究並未區分平台之間的結果。本研究運用社會支持應對理論來考察情緒支持,自尊支持,網絡支持,信息支持和工具支持在Facebook和Instagram上的作用,並探討其在台灣寄宿生心理調節中的作用。針對在台灣定居的成年外國人進行了在線調查(N = 426)。調查結果表明,Instagram上的東道國溝通與心理調節成正相關,而祖國關係與心理調節成負相關。發現在Facebook上的感知信息支持可預測心理適應。結果還表明,在Facebook上感知的信息支持介導了Facebook使用頻率與心理適應之間的關係。多元文化的人格預示著心理調整。此外,這項研究為Instagram和Facebook上不同的社會支持維度帶來了新的見解。
    Cross-cultural adjustment is often accompanied by feelings of psychological distress such as homesickness and anxiety, and sojourners depend on social support to maintain their psychological well-being in the host country. Previous studies have found that sojourners get social support using social media, which help them to find information, to meet new people, and keep in touch with home country members. In recent years, the impact of social media use on the psychological adjustment of sojourners has received scholarly attention. However, most studies do not differentiate the results between platforms. The present study applied the social support coping theory to examine the role of emotional support, esteem support, network support, informational support and instrumental support on Facebook and Instagram, and to explore their role on the psychological adjustment of sojourners in Taiwan. An online survey was conducted targeting the adult foreigners sojourning in Taiwan (N=426). Findings indicated that host country communication on Instagram was positively related with psychological adjustment while home country relations was negatively correlated with psychological adjustment. Perceived informational support on Facebook was found to predict psychological adjustment. The results also indicated that perceived informational support on Facebook mediated the relationship between the frequency of Facebook use and psychological adjustment. Multicultural personality predicted psychological adjustment. Furthermore, this study brings new insight into the different social support dimensions perceived on Instagram and Facebook.
