Abstract

The vulnerability of mega infrastructure projects (MIPs) has generated online public opinion crises, leading to public trust damage. However, few studies focused on the online dynamic trust of MIPs in such crises from the perspective of multiple users. Based on situational crisis communication theory, this study aims to explore the dynamic public trust in MIPs during online public opinion crises of extreme climate emergencies. The extreme heavy rainstorm event in Zhengzhou City, China, was selected as the case. Content analysis, the curve fitting method, and sentiment analysis were conducted to process the collected data from multiple users. The results indicated that the opinions of trust damage were set by "media practitioners" and led by "elites," whereas the opinions of trust repair were directed by "elites," led by "media practitioners," and defended by "individuals." Besides, trust dimensions would change over time; integrity-based and competence-based trust diffused alternatively. "Diminish," "deny," and "rebuild" strategies were proved to be the most effective strategies in integrity-based, competence-based, and competence and integrity-based trust repair, respectively. The findings can contribute to the authorities monitoring online public opinions in extreme climate emergencies and repairing trustworthy images.

在极端气候突发事件的网络舆论危机中,探索超大型基础设施项目的动态公众信任:用户行为、信任维度和策略的有效性。
超大型基础设施项目(MIP)的脆弱性引发了网络舆论危机,导致公众信任受损。然而,很少有研究从多个用户的视角关注此类危机中超大型基础设施项目的网络动态信任。本研究以情景危机传播理论为基础,旨在探讨极端气候突发事件网络舆情危机中MIP的动态公信力。研究选取了中国郑州市的特大暴雨事件作为案例。对收集到的多用户数据进行了内容分析、曲线拟合法和情感分析。结果表明,信任受损的观点由 "媒体从业者 "设定、"精英 "主导,而信任修复的观点则由 "精英 "引导、"媒体从业者 "主导、"个人 "维护。此外,信任维度会随着时间的推移而变化,诚信型信任和能力型信任交替扩散。事实证明,"削弱"、"否认 "和 "重建 "策略分别是诚信型信任、能力型信任和能力与诚信型信任修复中最有效的策略。研究结果有助于有关部门监测极端气候突发事件中的网络舆情,修复可信形象。
