In modern society,the Internet has changed the traditional experience of time and space.Tens of thousands of new information per second and faster and faster pace of life bring unprecedented tension.Internet platforms and social software remove the "spot" from interpersonal communication.",the "immediate" restriction has shortened the communication distance between people.And social software,an application that originally existed as an intermediary,has become more and more complete.On the small screens,our happiness,anger,sorrow and happiness have become symbols,so that we can no longer distinguish who I am communicating with.The seemingly lively online communication echoes the increasingly fast-paced city life.We use the keyboard Express your joys,sorrows,sorrows,and show yourselves on various social media platforms,but there are moments when you are full of thoughts but go through the address book and no one can say.The trust in each other is being intervened and replaced by technology,and with that comes the interpersonal relationship.Of alienation.This sense of alienation is relieved after entering the social network for talk and communication,and the individual falls into greater loneliness after leaving the social media.This article starts from the two aspects of contemporary youth’s social network self-presentation and group loneliness,and studies the relationship between the two.It mainly uses questionnaire surveys,interviews and other methods to answer the questions raised in this article.First of all,the youth group’s In the self-presentation strategy,groups with more active and non-disclosure levels tend to have a higher sense of social loneliness,while groups with more authentic,active,and non-disclosure levels also have higher emotional loneliness.Regardless of the level of loneliness,individuals may not perform self-presentation on social networking sites.Demographic variables such as the individual’s gender,hometown,and educational background are related to the relationship between self presentation and loneliness.The relationship plays a moderating role,and the individual’s personality and situation will also have a certain influence on the process.Secondly,in the process of socialization of youth groups,the influencing factors between social networks and the various dimensions of loneliness will indeed change.For example,the 18-24 year old group has the highest social loneliness,the 35-40 year old group has the highest emotional loneliness,and social loneliness.It will increase with the growth of academic qualifications,and within 0-5years of entering the work,the breadth and number of self-presentation will show a decreasing trend.This is actually a concrete manifestation of the moderating effect of demographic variables on the sample.In this process,changes in the individual’s emotional status will also be one of the factors that affect loneliness.Therefore,the chapter structure of this article is as follows:The first chapter explains the background,purpose and significance of this research topic,and explains the reasons for the selection of the research object—the youth group;The second chapter is the literature review,combing the related theories of self-presentation,loneliness and group loneliness;Chapter 3 presents the research questions and quantitative research hypotheses of this article,and introduces one of the research methods used---the main scale structure design,data collection and processing of the questionnaire survey,as well as the pre-survey process and data results;Chapter 4 analyzes the data obtained from the formal questionnaire in detail,analyzes the differences of different variables in demographics and social network usage variables,and the correlation between the variables,draws a linear regression model,verifies the moderating effect of the target variable,and finally verifies The establishment of the hypothesis.The fifth chapter analyzes and discusses the performance,causes and suggestions of group social loneliness in combination with the previous data results,interview information and related literature,and discusses the performance and reasons of demographic variables such as gender,hometown,and educational background.The manifestation of this major aspect.Finally,the overall results of the research,prospects and research deficiencies are sorted out.
