A much-discussed solution for undesirable (over-)use of mobile technologies lies in digital disconnection. Reasons for why individuals reduce their digital media use have been assessed mostly cross-sectionally without accounting for various disconnection practices across everyday situations. This study focuses on three motivations to disconnect that can vary between situations: to (a) avoid distractions, (b) improve well-being, and (c) be more present. A 14-day experience sampling study with 230 young adults (Mage = 25.31, SD = 4.50) yielded 7,360 situations of disconnective behavior. Multilevel regression analyses show that motivations to avoid distractions and to be more present were relevant for disconnection on the situational level. However, a person’s average level of these motivations did not predict disconnective behavior. The well-being motivation was not associated with disconnection either between or within participants. Additional analyses explore variations across time and different levels of digital disconnection.
针对不良(过度)使用移动技术的一个备受讨论的解决方案是断开数字连接。关于个人减少使用数字媒体的原因,大部分研究都是横向评估的,没有考虑到日常情况下的各种断开连接做法。本研究关注的是在不同情况下断开连接的三个动机:(a) 避免分心,(b) 提高幸福感,(c) 更有存在感。对 230 名年轻成年人(年龄=25.31,平均年龄=4.50)进行了为期 14 天的经验取样研究,结果显示有 7360 种断开行为。多层次回归分析表明,在情境层面上,避免分心和更有存在感的动机与断开连接有关。然而,一个人的这些动机的平均水平并不能预测脱节行为。无论是在参与者之间还是在参与者内部,幸福感动机都与断开连接无关。其他分析还探讨了不同时间段和不同程度的数字断开连接之间的差异。

The spread of multimodal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) misinformation on social media poses considerable public health risks. Yet limited research has addressed the efficacy of citizen-contributed, multimodal debunking messages, especially the roles of audiovisual structural features. In a between-subject online experiment, we assessed the impacts of misleading TikTok videos promoting the false claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility and compared the effectiveness of debunking videos from medical experts vs. laypeople. We independently varied the presence of background music. Results showed that while misleading TikTok videos increased misperceptions, most debunking videos effectively countered such misinformation. Notably, compared with laypeople’s testimonial corrections, expert didactic videos benefited more from incorporating high-tempo background music, primarily through the suppression of counterarguing rather than through enhanced encoding. These findings underscore the importance to consider audiovisual structural features, such as background music, as well as the cognitive pathway through distracted counterarguing, in future research on multimodal misinformation and correction.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的多模态错误信息在社交媒体上的传播对公众健康构成了相当大的风险。然而,有关公民贡献的多模态揭穿信息的功效,尤其是视听结构特征的作用的研究却十分有限。在一项主体间在线实验中,我们评估了宣传 COVID-19 疫苗会导致不孕不育这一虚假说法的误导性 TikTok 视频的影响,并比较了医学专家与普通人提供的揭穿视频的效果。我们独立地改变了背景音乐的存在。结果表明,虽然具有误导性的 TikTok 视频增加了人们的误解,但大多数揭穿视频都有效地反驳了这些错误信息。值得注意的是,与普通人的证词更正相比,专家的说教视频更受益于高节奏的背景音乐,这主要是通过抑制反驳而不是通过增强编码来实现的。这些发现强调了在未来的多模态错误信息和纠正研究中考虑视听结构特征(如背景音乐)以及通过分散注意力的反驳进行认知途径的重要性。

Two studies examine how experiencing a social need threat (ostracism and rejection) impacts subsequent preferences for self-disclosure to various digital audiences. Findings consider how contextual/situational factors like need threats may impact the appeal of two established perceived social affordances of media: personalization and privacy/visibility. Participants took part in a (bogus) social media activity to elicit feelings of inclusion/ostracization/rejection and then were asked about sharing their media preferences with various potential audiences. Results show that social need threats have no significant impact on privacy preferences but do affect preferences for sharing with some audiences and not others. Notably, ostracized and rejected participants show different patterns of preferences, suggesting these forms of social need threat may have distinct impacts on future self-disclosures. Implications for online relationship development and community building are considered in the discussion.
两项研究探讨了社会需求威胁(排斥和拒绝)如何影响人们随后对各种数字受众的自我披露偏好。研究结果考虑了需求威胁等背景/情境因素如何影响媒体的两个既定感知社交功能的吸引力:个性化和隐私/可见性。参与者参加了一项(虚假的)社交媒体活动,以激发包容/排斥/拒绝的感觉,然后被问及如何与不同的潜在受众分享自己的媒体偏好。结果显示,社交需求威胁对隐私偏好没有显著影响,但对与某些受众分享的偏好有影响,而对与其他受众分享的偏好没有影响。值得注意的是,被排斥和被拒绝的参与者表现出不同的偏好模式,这表明这些形式的社交需求威胁可能会对未来的自我披露产生不同的影响。讨论中还考虑了在线关系发展和社区建设的影响。

Part of the current mental health crisis is attributed to the increasing reliance on social media for daily tasks. By understanding behavioral or cognitive patterns that influence facets of well-being in real-time within individuals, we can empower individuals to intentionally adjust their behavior, thereby enhancing these aspects. This study utilized an experience sampling method to investigate the real-time effects of social media-induced social comparisons and posting on self-esteem and connectedness. Six times per day for 5 days, 74 adults reported on their social media use in the previous hour and their experiences of connectedness and self-esteem. Multilevel modeling demonstrated statistically significant within-person associations. Social media-induced upward comparison was related to momentary decreases in self-esteem, and moments when individuals posted on social media were related to higher levels of connectedness. The findings emphasize that specific experiences on social media may produce immediate effects for connectedness and self-esteem.
当前的心理健康危机部分归因于人们在日常工作中越来越依赖社交媒体。通过了解实时影响个人幸福感的行为或认知模式,我们可以让个人有意识地调整自己的行为,从而提高这些方面的幸福感。本研究采用经验取样法,调查社交媒体引发的社交比较和发帖对自尊和联系的实时影响。在为期 5 天的时间里,74 名成年人每天六次报告他们在前一小时内使用社交媒体的情况,以及他们在联系性和自尊方面的体验。多层次建模表明,人与人之间的关联在统计学上具有显著意义。社交媒体引起的向上比较与自尊的瞬间下降有关,而个人在社交媒体上发布信息的瞬间与更高水平的联系有关。研究结果强调,社交媒体上的特定经历可能会对关联性和自尊产生直接影响。

Studies of gendered phenomena online have highlighted important disparities, such as who is likely to be elevated as an expert or face gender-based harassment. This research, however, typically relies upon inferring user gender—an act that perpetuates notions of gender as an easily observable, binary construct. Motivated by work in gender and queer studies, we therefore compare common approaches to gender inference in the context of online settings. We demonstrate that gender inference can have downstream consequences when studying gender inequities and find that nonbinary users are consistently likely to be misgendered or overlooked in analysis. In bringing a theoretical focus to this common methodological task, our contribution is in problematizing common measures of gender, encouraging researchers to think critically about what these constructs can and cannot capture, and calling for more research explicitly focused on gendered experiences beyond a binary.
对网络性别现象的研究凸显了重要的差异,例如谁有可能被提升为专家或面临基于性别的骚扰。然而,这种研究通常依赖于推断用户的性别--这种行为延续了性别是一种易于观察的二元结构的观念。因此,在性别和同性恋研究工作的推动下,我们比较了在网络环境下进行性别推断的常见方法。我们证明,在研究性别不平等问题时,性别推断可能会产生下游影响,并发现非二元用户在分析中一直很可能被错误定性或忽略。我们将理论重点引入这一常见的方法论任务中,其贡献在于对常见的性别测量方法提出质疑,鼓励研究人员批判性地思考这些方法能捕捉到什么,不能捕捉到什么,并呼吁开展更多研究,明确关注二元之外的性别体验。

This study sought to investigate whether scholarly impact and academic influence differ between men and women in the field of communication and the extent to which the gender gap has persisted on social media platforms, an arena increasingly used for research dissemination. Data were collected from 10,736 articles, published in prominent communication journals between 2012 and 2022, using a combination of three sources: OpenAlex, Altmetric, and Twitter. The gender of 6,827 first authors was identified using ChatGPT, with an accuracy of 0.94. The findings confirmed the presence of the Matilda effect, indicating a bias toward male scholars in terms of research performance, academic mobility, and online popularity. Furthermore, the study revealed uneven gains between male and female scholars in their use of social media for research dissemination. These results have implications for how science communities can effectively promote research on social media.

The underrepresentation of women in open-source software is frequently attributed to women’s lack of innate aptitude compared to men: natural gender differences in technical ability (Trinkenreich et al., 2021). Approaching code as a form of communication, I conduct a novel empirical study of gender differences in Python programming on GitHub. Based on 1,728 open-source projects, I ask if there is a gender difference in the quality and style of Python code measured in adherence to PEP-8 guidelines. I found significant gender differences in structure and how Python files are organized. While there is gendered variation in programming style, there is no evidence of gender difference in code quality. Using a Random Forest model, I show that the gender of a programmer can be predicted from the style of their Python code. The study concludes that gender differences in Python code are a matter of style, not quality.
女性在开源软件中的代表性不足,经常被归因于女性与男性相比缺乏先天资质:技术能力上的自然性别差异(Trinkenreich 等人,2021 年)。将代码作为一种交流形式,我对 GitHub 上 Python 编程的性别差异进行了一项新颖的实证研究。基于 1,728 个开源项目,我询问在 Python 代码的质量和风格方面是否存在性别差异,并按照 PEP-8 准则进行衡量。我发现在结构和 Python 文件的组织方式上存在明显的性别差异。虽然编程风格存在性别差异,但没有证据表明代码质量存在性别差异。通过使用随机森林模型,我发现程序员的性别可以从其 Python 代码的风格中预测出来。研究得出结论,Python 代码中的性别差异是风格问题,而不是质量问题。

This study examines how gender stereotypes are reflected in discourses around controversial science issues across two platforms, YouTube and TikTok. Utilizing the Social Identity Model of Deindividuation Effects, we developed hypotheses and research questions about how content creators might use gender-related stereotypes to engage audiences. Our analyses of climate change and vaccination videos, considering various modalities such as captions and thumbnails, revealed that themes related to children and health often appeared in videos mentioning women, while science misinformation was more common in videos mentioning men. We observed cross-platform differences in portraying gender stereotypes. YouTube’s video descriptions often highlighted women-associated moral language, whereas TikTok emphasized men-associated moral language. YouTube’s thumbnails frequently featured climate activists or women with nature, while TikTok’s thumbnails showed women in Vlog-style selfies and with feminine gestures. These findings advance understanding about gender and science through a cross-platform, multi-modal approach and offer potential intervention strategies.
本研究探讨了在 YouTube 和 TikTok 这两个平台上,围绕有争议的科学问题展开的讨论是如何反映性别刻板印象的。我们利用去个体化效应的社会认同模型,就内容创作者如何利用与性别相关的刻板印象吸引受众提出了假设和研究问题。我们对气候变化和疫苗接种视频进行了分析,并考虑了标题和缩略图等各种模式,结果发现,与儿童和健康相关的主题经常出现在提及女性的视频中,而科学误导则更常见于提及男性的视频中。我们观察到在描绘性别刻板印象方面的跨平台差异。YouTube 的视频描述通常强调与女性相关的道德语言,而 TikTok 则强调与男性相关的道德语言。YouTube 的缩略图经常以气候活动家或与大自然亲密接触的女性为主题,而 TikTok 的缩略图则以 Vlog 风格的自拍照和女性化的手势来展示女性。这些发现通过跨平台、多模式的方法促进了人们对性别和科学的理解,并提供了潜在的干预策略。

Quantifying gender disparities and bias online: editors’ introduction to “Gender Gaps in Digital Spaces” special issue 量化在线性别差异和偏见:"数字空间中的性别差距 "特刊编辑导言

This special issue collects studies about how gender divides manifest in digital environments, spanning online repositories, social media, and AI-powered technologies. Computational research helps in assessing the nature and prevalence of gender divides: Identifying differences and bias requires defining benchmarks, systematic departures, and overall incidence. This collection showcases evidence uncovered quantitatively and illustrates how such evidence can advance theoretical understanding of gender dynamics as socially constructed phenomena. Social interactions and discursive practices are shaped by the technologies we use to communicate, work, and organize. These technologies shape, in turn, how we perceive and reinforce gender stereotypes. In this editors‘ note, we discuss how the seven articles included in the special issue unpack communicative processes in the context of various online environments, disentangling gendered dynamics from the use of digital technologies.

本特刊收集了有关性别鸿沟如何在数字环境中体现的研究,涉及在线资料库、社交媒体和人工智能技术。计算研究有助于评估性别鸿沟的性质和普遍程度:识别差异和偏见需要定义基准、系统偏差和总体发生率。这本论文集展示了定量发现的证据,并说明了这些证据如何推动理论界对作为社会建构现象的性别动态的理解。我们用于交流、工作和组织的技术塑造了社会互动和话语实践。反过来,这些技术也决定了我们如何看待和强化性别刻板印象。在这篇编者按中,我们将讨论特刊中的七篇文章是如何在各种网络环境中解读交流过程,将性别动态与数字技术的使用区分开来的。最终,我们的目标是为研究议程注入活力,因为随着技术以前所未有的方向变形和发展,我们需要继续努力。

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models like DALL·E 2 can interpret prompts and generate high-quality images that exhibit human creativity. Though public enthusiasm is booming, systematic auditing of potential gender biases in AI-generated images remains scarce. We addressed this gap by examining the prevalence of two occupational gender biases (representational and presentational biases) in 15,300 DALL·E 2 images spanning 153 occupations. We assessed potential bias amplification by benchmarking against the 2021 U.S. census data and Google Images. Our findings reveal that DALL·E 2 underrepresents women in male-dominated fields while overrepresenting them in female-dominated occupations. Additionally, DALL·E 2 images tend to depict more women than men with smiles and downward-pitching heads, particularly in female-dominated (versus male-dominated) occupations. Our algorithm auditing study demonstrates more pronounced representational and presentational biases in DALL·E 2 compared to Google Images and calls for feminist interventions to curtail the potential impacts of such biased AI-generated images on the media ecology.
像 DALL-E 2 这样的人工智能(AI)生成模型可以解释提示并生成展现人类创造力的高质量图像。虽然公众的热情高涨,但对人工智能生成图像中潜在的性别偏见进行系统审核的情况仍然很少。为了弥补这一不足,我们研究了 15300 张 DALL-E 2 图像(涵盖 153 种职业)中两种职业性别偏差(表现性偏差和呈现性偏差)的普遍程度。我们以 2021 年美国人口普查数据和谷歌图片为基准,评估了潜在的偏差放大。我们的研究结果表明,DALL-E 2 对男性主导领域的女性代表不足,而对女性主导职业的女性代表过多。此外,DALL-E 2 图像倾向于描绘女性多于男性的微笑和下垂的头部,尤其是在女性占主导地位(相对于男性占主导地位)的职业中。我们的算法审计研究表明,与谷歌图片相比,《DALL-E 2》在表现形式和呈现方式上存在更明显的偏差,并呼吁女权主义者进行干预,以减少人工智能生成的图片对媒体生态的潜在影响。
