ABSTRACT

This paper explores the influencing factors and manifestations of adolescents' online behavior from the perspective of social psychology. By analyzing social psychology theories such as social identity, group pressure and self-identity, it reveals many problems faced by adolescents in Internet use, such as Internet addiction, cyberbullying and mental health risks. The study concluded that adolescents' online behaviors are not only influenced by individual psychological development, but also by the combined effects of family, school and social environment. Therefore, this paper proposes intervention strategies based on social psychology, including enhancing self-knowledge, strengthening social support system and multi-level policy interventions, in order to guide adolescents to form healthy online behavior habits.
