失戀創傷是現階段年輕人經常面臨的困擾,失戀創傷未妥善處理造成的悲劇亦所在多有。有鑒於年輕世代生活型態網路化的程度日甚,進一步探討虛擬社群的互動對失戀者尋求走出情傷的影響特性,逐漸有其必要性。由於目前文獻中有關虛擬社群對失戀創傷復原影響的研究相當缺乏,本研究選擇PTT Broken-Heart版成員為對象,對網路社群互動與失戀創傷復原的各項認知特質作初探性的調查,以作為後續研究的基礎。研究結果發現社群成員主要是為了為閱讀他人失戀心情得到慰藉而參與社群,並且認為透過線上社群閱讀發文者的失戀心情,有助於情傷復原,而推文者認為失戀者在線上社群得到推文回應有社會支持效果認為社群互動有助於失戀者走出情傷。此外本研究亦發現性別與匿名性可能是影響線上社群成員認知的重要因素;此初探性調查結果可作為後續研究參考。
