While several major theories and models have emerged and guided research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the interpersonal context, equivalent theoretical development seems to be lacking in the study of mass-oriented CMC, despite a large volume of amassed research. This article aims to propose an integrative conceptual framework for the study of mass-oriented, including mass-personal CMC, with (perceived) authenticity as its core unifying construct. A range of theoretical constructs independently developed in various subdisciplines and pertinent research findings are reviewed in light of the authenticity of source, message, and interaction. Several testable propositions are derived concerning antecedents to and consequences of authenticity judgments, with a view to stimulating programmatic empirical investigations on the role of authenticity in CMC.

（面向大众的）计算机媒介传播的真实性模型：概念探索和可验证的命题

尽管已经出现了几种主要的理论和模型，并在人际环境下指导了计算机介导通信（CMC）的研究，但尽管有大量的研究工作，但在面向大众的CMC研究中似乎缺乏同等的理论发展。本文旨在为（包括）真实性作为其核心统一构造的面向大众的研究（包括大众个人CMC）提出一个综合概念框架。根据来源，信息和相互作用的真实性，对在各个子学科中独立发展的一系列理论构想和相关研究成果进行了回顾。关于真实性判断的前因和后果，得出了一些可检验的命题，
