隨著電腦科技的普及，網路逐漸成為親子溝通的工具之一，父母和孩子也與其他的關係一樣，在網路上相處、溝通與互動，然而目前的網路研究中，親子溝通鮮少成為研究的對象，而家庭傳播中對網路的討論，則大多將焦點集中在新科技使用與家庭生活時間的互斥與否的爭議之上，網路在此研究脈絡中喪失了溝通互動的性質，本研究並不企圖否定過去對電腦與家庭關係中的互動討論，而是期望加入目前實際生活中，網路在親子關係中所發揮的溝通功能，而使網路在親子溝通的角色可以更加完備。 本文以網路問卷調查的方式，期望瞭解在強調父母威權（社會取徑）與鼓勵與子女互動（概念取徑）的兩種不同家庭中，子女對媒介特質的感知有何差異，以及是否會有不同的網路關係維持行為。研究結果指出，家庭中越是強調父母權威，子女越能感受到：網路讓他們比較敢向父母表達自身想法，並且也越能在與父母溝通前有更多時間好好地組織自己想法，而越是重視父母權威的家庭，子女也越會傾向在網路中與父母分享心事與表現出對父母的體諒，網路讓這些原來關係緊張的親子之間有了更多親密互動的可能。 / With the population of the computer technology, internet has become one of the tools of parent-child communication. Parents and children nowadays also interacted and communicated on line, just like any other relationships. However, parental communication rarely became the topic in the study about the internet. In family communication research, the researchers always talked about whether the internet interaction reduces the actual interaction in family life. In this thesis, the context of this idea lacked the communicative function of the internet., This study investigates how children have different perception of media characteristics and different internet communication behavior in the social oriented families (that emphasis parent’s power) and concept oriented families (that encourage children to share their opinions). Firstly, the study finds that the children from social oriented families are more likely to feel that they have more various topics which are unable to show while being together with their parents by face-to-face. Secondly, they consider that they are able to arrange their ideas more perfectly before talking with their parents. Moreover, the finding also indicates that the children from social oriented families are willing to share their secrets and express understanding for their parents on line. Thus, for the social oriented families, the internet provides another way to improve parental relationships.
