While numerous studies have analyzed the behavioral antecedents of Facebook usage and Facebook addiction, their relationship with social behaviors remains confused. We investigated the relationship between interpersonal curiosity, gossip behavior, Facebook usage and Facebook addiction for 741 Taiwanese adolescents who were administered Litman and Pezzo's interpersonal curiosity scales and attitudes towards gossip scale and Hong's Facebook usage motivation scale and Facebook addictive tendency scale. The result showed that: (1) interpersonal curiosity had a significant direct effect on gossip behavior and Facebook usage. Facebook usage and gossip behavior had a direct effect of Facebook addiction. (2) gossip behavior and Facebook usage had complete mediating effects between interpersonal curiosity and Facebook addiction. The results of the present study identify social behaviors and Facebook usage of Taiwanese adolescents which could significantly predict Facebook addiction and gossip behavior and Facebook usage have mediating effects between interpersonal curiosity and Facebook addiction. These results of the present study are discussed and provide suggestions for the future research.

本研究探討高中學生人際好奇、八卦行為、臉書使用與臉書成癮間之關係。採取問卷調查法，測量工具分別為人際好奇量表、八卦行為量表、臉書使用量表以及臉書成癮量表，以台灣800位高中學生為研究對象，採用結構方程模式進行資料分析。結果發現，高中生不僅每天在臉書使用的時間有增加的趨勢，而且具有臉書成癮的現象。高中生的人際好奇、八卦行為、臉書使用與臉書成癮具有顯著的差異與相關。此外，高中生的人際好奇對八卦行為和臉書使用影響、八卦行為對臉書成癮以及臉書使用對臉書成癮皆有正面的影響與有效的預測。根據研究結果提出理論意涵與管理建議可供家長、學校教師以及未來研究者之參考。
