「數位轉型與多元韌性」研究群將聚焦數項議題，並透過跨學科的理論視角與研究觀點，探討數位轉型如何影響台灣民眾身心適應、人際互動、到家庭社會與國家政府之影響，並且嘗試從多元韌性（Multiple Resilience）的角度切入，即是將韌性的面向更廣泛地從個人、人際、家庭、社群、社會乃至於國家面向，且由於各面向也彼此交織，是以兼具微觀到宏觀層面之歷程與影響。首先，隨著數位媒體與社交網絡的普及，資訊流動模式也從傳統媒體主導轉向去中心化，大眾如何獲取、理解與回應資訊的方式也隨之改變，這部份在不同世代下，更會有截然不同的因應跟調節方式。更進一步地，台灣處於區域政治變動的關鍵位置，數位世代的成長背景與政治認同也受到全球化與地緣政治的影響，我們也將關注網路世代中對群際與社會認同之變遷歷程，並與假新聞的擴散機制與影響高度串聯。
為確保研究成果的深度與廣度，本研究群將整合社會科學、資訊科學、傳播科技等多學科視角，採取多元研究方法，包括實驗介入、質性分析、田野調查與AI機器學習。這不僅與研究群成員的專長相符，更能透過跨領域的整合，提升研究的全面性，從個體心理、家庭互動到社會結構及數位治理，形成更具解釋力的整合研究框架。此外，本研究群成員亦參與多項台灣重要社會數據庫與研究計畫，如「臺灣數位世代青少年的成長歷程追蹤研究」、「台灣社會變遷基本調查」、「家庭動態調查」…等，這些計畫提供了長期且具代表性的數據，與本研究群之關注議題高度契合。透過這些既有數據資源與跨領域合作，本研究群的分析將不僅限於個別議題，而能將個人心理、家庭結構、社會變遷與數位轉型的多層次因素交叉對話。本研究群的成立，將進一步深化不同學科間的協作模式，使心理學、人類學、社會學、教育學、傳播學、資訊科學等領域的專家能在共同議題下互補長短，實現跨域合作、相互驗證、綜效最大化之學術目標。

【English Summary】Digital Transformation and Multiple Resilience Research Group
The “Digital Transformation and Multiple Resilience” research group focus on a range of key issues, using interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and empirical data to investigate how digital transformation affects the Taiwanese public—from psychological and behavioral adaptation, interpersonal dynamics, and family systems, to societal structures and state governance. Central to this approach is the lens of multiple resilience, which conceptualizes resilience not merely at the individual level, but as a multilayered construct encompassing intrapersonal, interpersonal, familial, community, societal, and national dimensions. Given the intersectionality among these levels, the research aims to capture both micro- and macro-level processes and outcomes.
First, with the widespread adoption of social media and networking platforms, the information ecology has shifted from traditional, centralized broadcasting models to decentralized, user-driven flows. This transformation has altered how people access, interpret, and respond to information. Importantly, these changes are experienced differently across generations, resulting in divergent patterns of cognitive appraisal, emotion regulation, and media engagement. Furthermore, situated at the crossroads of regional political change, Taiwan's digital-native generations are being shaped by both globalization and geopolitical forces, influencing their political identity and intergroup dynamics. The group will also investigate the evolution of social identity among the digitally immersed youth and its connection to the spread and psychological impact of misinformation.
To ensure both the depth and breadth of its research outputs, the group will integrate perspectives from psychology, anthropology, data science, and communication technology, adopting mixed-methods approaches such as experimental interventions, qualitative inquiry, field studies, and AI-based machine learning analytics. These methodologies align with the research team's areas of expertise and support the construction of a comprehensive and integrative research framework—linking individual psychology, family and interpersonal functioning, social change, and digital governance.
The research team is also actively involved in major national datasets and longitudinal studies, including the Taiwan Youth Project on Digital Generation Development, the Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), and the Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD). These datasets offer longitudinal, population-representative data that align closely with the group’s core themes. By leveraging these resources alongside interdisciplinary collaboration, the group's analyses will transcend isolated topics and instead facilitate multi-level dialogue across individual mental health, family structures, social transformation, and technological shifts.
The establishment of this research group will further advance interdisciplinary collaboration, enabling experts from psychology, anthropology, sociology, education, communication studies, and information science to build a synergistic research ecosystem. Through cross-disciplinary integration, reciprocal validation, and collective innovation, the group aspires to maximize scholarly impact and foster transformative insights into the intersection of digital life and human resilience.
