Summary: | 碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 管理碩士在職專班 === 97 === The purpose of this study is to explore the cyber-leisure behaviors, the constraints and benefits among the students in the comprehensive high school in Taiwan. Leisure constraints contain three categories: intrapersonal constraints, interpersonal constraints, and structural constraints. Leisure benefits contain three categories: psychological benefits, educational benefits, and social benefits.
Questionnaire survey is conducted and sampled by the “stratified and cluster sampling” method in Sihu comprehensive high school in Changhua county, inclusive of 435 people. Research instruments include cyber-leisure constraint scale and cyber-leisure benefit scale. Collected Data have been analyzed by independent sample t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient Analysis.
Research results are concluded as follows:
1. Among the average weekly Internet use, 42.5% of the students surfing the Internet 2 to 3 times is the highest. Among the average Internet use per time, 33.1% of the total students using 1 to 2 hours per time is the highest. Among the purposes for students’ connecting to the Internet, information retrieval is the main target. Among the three dimensions of leisure constraints, the mean of “structural constraints” is the highest. Among the three dimensions of leisure benefits, the mean of “educational benefits” is the highest.
2. Among the background valuables, sex, grade, and Internet access at home or not all have partial influence on the students’ Internet use behaviors: Boys surf significantly more times than girls on the average weekly Internet use.
3. Among the background valuables, sex and grade both have partial effect on students’ cyber-leisure constraints: Boys have significantly much “interpersonal constraints” than girls.
4. There is a negative correlation between Internet use behaviors and the factors of cyber-leisure n constraints: The more times and the longer time of Internet use, the lower the leisure constraints.
5. Males, the third-grade students and those without internet access at home agree more on the leisure benefits brought by cyber leisure.
6. There is a positive correlation between Internet use behaviors and the experience of cyber-leisure benefits: The more times and the longer time of Internet use, the higher the leisure benefits.
7. There is moderate, negative correlation between the linear combination of leisure constraints and the linear combination of leisure benefits.
