摘要

本研究考察了使用漫画向美国黑人传播有关COVID-19疫苗安全性的科学信息的有效性。尽管与说明性文本和信息图表相比，漫画对兴趣、回忆和信息共享意图的影响并不显著，但与以黑人为现实代表的漫画相比，以抽象、种族模糊的角色为特征的漫画促进了对COVID-19疫苗了解程度较低的参与者的学习。此外，漫画的影响取决于个人对漫画阅读的兴趣。这些发现强调了漫画在科学传播中的潜力，但它们的设计和目标受众应该仔细考虑。

Exploring the Potential of Comics for Science Communication: A Study on Conveying COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Information to Black Americans

This study examined the effectiveness of using comics to communicate scientific information on COVID-19 vaccine safety to Black Americans. Although the effects of comics on interest, recall, and information sharing intention were not significant compared to expository texts and infographics, comics featuring abstract, racially ambiguous characters facilitated greater learning among participants with lower knowledge of COVID-19 vaccines, as opposed to comics with realistic representations of Black individuals. Furthermore, the effects of comics varied depending on individuals’ interest in comic reading. These findings highlight the potential of comics in science communication, but their design and target audience should be carefully considered.
