Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical approach that highlights the role of identity in information exposure and processing. This Identity Driven Information Ecosystem (IDIE) approach is premised on the idea that everyone’s information ecosystem varies, shaped by who they are, where they live, and who they interact with. Identities play a crucial role in determining the sites of communication that individuals use and engage with, and as a result, there are systematic differences in where people get information, what information they see, and how they react to it. This article lays out an argument for how identity is associated with the information we are exposed to, select, believe, and share; and it argues that identity, technology, affordances, and structures interact to shape our information ecosystems. The article concludes with a case study of the COVID-19 pandemic as an illustration of applying the IDIE approach to understand individual-level variation in information ecosystems.

身份驱动的信息生态系统

本文提出了一种理论方法，强调身份在信息接触和处理中的作用。这种身份驱动信息生态系统（IDIE）方法的前提是，每个人的信息生态系统都各不相同，是由他们的身份、居住地和互动对象决定的。身份在决定个人使用和参与的交流场所方面起着至关重要的作用，因此，人们在获取信息的地点、看到的信息以及对信息的反应方面存在着系统性差异。本文论证了身份如何与我们接触、选择、相信和分享的信息相关联，并认为身份、技术、承受能力和结构相互作用，塑造了我们的信息生态系统。文章最后以 COVID-19 大流行的案例研究为例，说明如何应用 IDIE 方法来理解信息生态系统中的个体差异。
