近年來，先進的資訊和通訊科技大幅地增加了青少年進行資訊分享的潛力。然而，如果青少年沒有分享的意願，資訊將無法被分享得如我們所預期地那樣廣泛。因此，研究青少年資訊分享的態度是很重要的。本研究的目的在於了解青少年對於資訊分享的態度，並且探究有哪些因素會影響這些態度。 以資訊分享理論為基礎，本研究提出第一個模型：知覺資訊文化與自我表現將會對青少年對於資訊分享的一般態度造成影響。至於互惠和友誼的影響，本研究提出第二個模型去探究互惠和友誼對青少年資訊分享的直接態度所造成的相互影響。本研究發現，開放的知覺資訊文化和自我表現對青少年資訊分享的一般態度有顯著且正向的影響。另外，互惠和友誼一樣會正向地影響青少年資訊分享 的直接態度。其中特別的是，相對於先前拒絕幫助青少年的資訊尋求者，青少年較傾向分享資訊給先前曾幫助過他?她的資訊尋求者。且他們也較樂意分享資訊給他?她們的好朋友。除此之外，本研究還發現互惠和友誼之間存在交互作用。 Advanced information and communication technologies vastly increase the potential for adolescents to share information these days. However, if adolescents are not willing to share, information may not be shared as widely as we expect. Therefore, it is very important to study adolescents’ attitudes toward information sharing. The purpose of this study is to understand the attitudes of adolescents toward information sharing and to explore what factors would have influences on it. Based on theory of information sharing, this study proposes a model in which perceptions of information culture and self-expression will influence general attitudes of adolescents toward information sharing. As to the impact of reciprocity and friendship, this study proposes a second model to study the interactive influence of reciprocity and friendship on direct attitudes of adolescents toward information sharing. This study found that open perceived information culture and self-expression have significantly positive impacts on general attitudes of adolescents toward information sharing, and that reciprocity positively influences direct attitudes of adolescents toward information sharing as well as friendship. Especially, adolescents are more inclined to share with information seeker who previously helped them than with information seeker who previously refused to help them. They are also more willing to share with their close friends. Additionally, interaction effect exists between reciprocity and friendship.
