Abstract

This study analyzed the changes of family communication systems within the interpersonal paradigm of the digital era. In order to achieve this, the study conducted comparable analyses on the influences of individualism-collectivism tendencies and the online and offline self-disclosures in terms of family intimacy levels. The demography of the 1,697 research subjects ranged from teenagers to people in their thirties, who had been identified as active SNS users from December 2011 to March 2012 by the nationwide population and random sample surveys. The results showed that horizontal individualism had a statistically significant association with the frequency of online family interaction, whereas vertical collectivism has no meaningful correlation with the online family interaction frequency. In terms of online self-disclosures, only the Domain A (intimate subject) had a significant association with the online family interaction frequency and the online family interaction frequency had a statistically significant correlation with the quality of family relationships. On the other hand, in terms of offline family interactions, the vertical collectivism had a statistically significant relationship with the offline family interaction frequency. In terms of offline self-disclosures, all variables regarding offline interpersonal relationship, had no meaningful impact on the offline family interaction frequency. The research results also showed that individual cultural values and online self-disclosure had significant influences on the online family interaction frequency as mediators. In addition, the Domain C (simple acquaintance) of online self-disclosure and Domain A, B, and C of offline self-disclosure had directly influences with the quality of family relationship. The study results comprehensively verified that active online self-disclosure improved the frequency of online family interaction, thereby increased the quality of family relationships in the society where horizontal individualism was becoming more prevalent than vertical collectivism. Therefore, the study indicated that a paradigm of family communication could also be transformed from offline to online.
