青少年社交媒体设计的社会规范方法

The Information School, University of Washington(华盛顿大学信息学院)

AI总结:

论文提出青少年社交媒体行为受平台规范而非个人选择驱动,通过设计干预和构建独立平台来促进真实表达与信任连接。

摘要:

年轻人一直表示,他们希望在社交媒体上实现真实的自我表达、减少评判并增强人际信任,但他们很少能够以这种方式互动。我的论文认为,障碍是规范性的而非个人性的:青少年的参与方式更多地受平台规范、同伴感知以及对他人的行为信念所支配,而非个人选择。我采用社会规范方法来设计青少年社交媒体,围绕三个主张展开。首先,平台规范约束个人行为,产生一种多元无知现象,即青少年表现出他们私下拒绝的规范。其次,设计干预本身受到现有规范的塑造,因此一个功能是否有效取决于其周围环境,这意味着隐私等关系目标必须被视为社会规范而非个人设置。第三,关于“社交媒体”是什么的社会规范——将其等同于几个主流平台——将政策和设计局限于缓解这些平台的问题,而不是积极构想支持性的替代方案。这些主张共同推动了我的论文研究:让青少年直接参与设计和构建一个基于证据的独立平台,其功能始终表明建立信任连接是空间的目的。

英文摘要:

Young people consistently say they want authentic self-expression, less judgment, and more interpersonal trust on social media, yet they rarely manage to engage that way. My dissertation argues that the obstacle is normative rather than individual: how youth engage is governed less by personal choice than by platform norms, peer perception, and beliefs about how others behave. I take a social norms approach to youth social media design organized around three claims. First, platform norms constrain individual behavior, producing a pluralistic ignorance in which youth enact norms they privately reject. Second, design interventions are themselves shaped by existing norms, so whether a feature works depends on the environment around it, which means relational goals such as privacy must be treated as social norms rather than individual settings. Third, a societal norm about what ``social media'' is -- equating it with a few mainstream platforms -- confines policy and design to mitigating those platforms rather than actively envisioning supportive alternatives. Together these claims motivate my dissertation research: engaging youth directly in designing and building an evidence-based independent platform whose features consistently signal that building trusted connections is what the space is for.
