ABSTRACTDuring times of a pandemic, the importance of having trust in health experts cannot be overstated. This comparative study with six societies (United Kingdom, United States, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China) adopts a multilevel analysis in investigating the media cultivation effect of television, newspaper, and social media on trust in health experts during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also examines how freedom of speech influences the cultivation effect. The findings suggest cultivation of these media enhances trust in health experts. Interestingly, freedom of speech undermines the cultivation effect of newspapers and social media but boosts the effect of television. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACTExisting research explaining product and technology factors influencing the effectiveness of newsfeed ads embedded in social media platforms remains scarce. Applying the flow concept and technology fluidity theory, this experiment explored how product and technological factors influenced consumers’ interaction with and evaluation of newsfeed ads on Facebook. Results showed that product type (think vs. feel) but not product involvement level (high vs. low), influenced immersion (a flow dimension) with the ad. While technology fluidity predicted users’ sense of control (a second flow dimension) of the ad, the two flow dimensions were positively related to attitude toward the newsfeed ad.

现有的研究解释了产品和技术因素对社交媒体平台中嵌入的新闻推送广告效果的影响,但仍然很少。本实验运用流量概念和技术流动性理论,探讨了产品和技术因素如何影响消费者与Facebook新闻推送广告的互动和评价。结果显示,产品类型(思考vs.感觉)而不是产品投入程度(高vs.低)会影响广告的沉浸感(流维度)。虽然技术流动性预测了用户对广告的控制感(第二流维度),但这两个流维度与对新闻推送广告的态度呈正相关。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究得到了康涅狄格大学研究生院的支持。作者简介徐晓文(美国康涅狄格大学博士),美国巴特勒大学战略传播学助理教授。主要研究方向为新媒体广告与多元文化营销。她一直致力于媒体效应项目,涉及消费者、健康和亲环境行为背景下的认知、情感和行为反应。Carolyn a .

ABSTRACT Guided by the framework of contentious publicness, this study examines the role of mass media organizations in facilitating digital activism during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong anti-extradition movement. We collected movement tweets targeting media organizations, conceptualized as public-media messages, to identify what media outlets and what narratives were likely to generate more engagement. Findings revealed that activists tended to mobilize media based on colonial history and legitimacy. Furthermore, topic areas, media type, and technological affordances were all related to message publicness measured by the number of retweets and likes. Implications are provided regarding the process of mobilizing for contentious publicness.

ABSTRACTDuring live sporting events, female announcer teams for men’s sports are becoming increasingly common, however, there is a lack of research examining viewers response to this.. Using psychophysiological measures, this study examines sports fan arousal and depicted emotion while watching sports highlights with female announcers, comparing it to the same highlights using male announcers. Results show that male participants were more aroused than female participants when watching sporting events announced by male and female announcers. However, female participants had a more significant emotional response. Sports fandom was also found to be a predictor of arousal. Results are interpreted using social identity theory.

【摘要】在体育赛事直播中,男性赛事的女性解说团队越来越普遍,然而,缺乏对观众对此反应的研究。本研究采用心理生理学的测量方法,研究了体育迷在观看女解说员的体育赛事集锦时的兴奋和描述情绪,并将其与用男解说员观看同样的集锦进行了比较。结果表明,男性参与者在观看由男女播音员播报的体育赛事时比女性参与者更容易被唤醒。然而,女性参与者有更显著的情绪反应。体育迷也被发现是兴奋的一个预测指标。结果用社会认同理论解释。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者简介:semily Dirks semily Dirks (MA, Texas Tech University)是阿拉巴马大学通信与信息系统学院的博士生。她的研究兴趣集中在体育、种族、性别和行动主义。Sean R. sadrisan R.

ABSTRACT Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study investigated how media presentations, intra-family communication, and doctor-patient communication influence compliance with social distancing orders during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. Results from an online survey in China suggested that media risk communication, intra-family communication, and doctor-patient communication enhanced respondents’ intention for social distancing via the mediations of positive attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Additionally, trust in government, information verification, and active media engagement can improve the outcome of risk communication. This study underscores the value of TPB framework in fostering health promotion. By analyzing the interplay between psychological constructs and communication channels, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of compliance behavior amid pandemics, facilitating informed policy-making and promoting public cooperation. Ultimately, these insights illuminate pathways to cultivate informed decision-making and responsible actions during health crises.
