Abstract There has been a growing body of crisis communication research that treats social media as a critical variable, which might alter how people perceive and react to crisis communication messages. The meta-analysis of 8 studies (k = 22, n = 3209, combined n = 9703) compared the impact of social media vs. traditional media in crisis communication. Five studies (n = 1896) contained 8 relevant effect sizes on crisis responsibility, representing 3294 individuals. Seven studies (n = 3185) contained 14 relevant effect sizes on persuasiveness, representing 6409 individuals. Compared to traditional media, using social media significantly lessened consumers’ perceived crisis responsibility (r = -.134, 95 % CI -.212– -.054, p = .001). There was no significant difference between using traditional media and social media in crisis communication on persuasiveness (r = -.039, 95 % CI -.114– .035, p = .30). The moderator analysis indicated that for both crisis responsibility and persuasiveness, the effect size was more noticeable when an organization communicates with college students vs. non-student publics. The ability of social media in dampening crisis responsibility was more pronounced for fictitious organizations compared to real organizations. Compared to traditional media, social media was significantly more negative for preventable crisis, the influence was weak for accidental crisis. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, as well as directions for future research.

媒介重要吗?在危机传播中使用社交媒体与传统媒体的元分析

摘要 越来越多的危机传播研究将社交媒体视为一个关键变量,这可能会改变人们对危机传播信息的感知和反应。8 项研究(k = 22,n = 3209,合并 n = 9703)的荟萃分析比较了社交媒体与传统媒体在危机沟通中的影响。五项研究 (n = 1896) 包含 8 个对危机责任的相关影响大小,代表 3294 个人。七项研究 (n = 3185) 包含 14 个与说服力相关的影响大小,代表 6409 个人。与传统媒体相比,使用社交媒体显着减轻了消费者的危机责任感(r = -.134,95 % CI -.212– -.054,p = .001)。使用传统媒体和社交媒体在危机沟通中的说服力没有显着差异(r = -.039, 95 % CI -.114– .035, p = .30)。主持人分析表明,无论是危机责任感还是说服力,当组织与大学生交流时,与非学生公众交流的效果大小都更显着。与真实组织相比,社交媒体在抑制危机责任方面的能力对于虚构组织更为明显。与传统媒体相比,社交媒体对可预防危机的负面影响明显更大,对意外危机的影响较弱。讨论了理论和实践意义,以及未来研究的方向。主持人分析表明,无论是危机责任感还是说服力,当组织与大学生交流时,与非学生公众交流的效果大小都更显着。与真实组织相比,社交媒体在抑制危机责任方面的能力对于虚构组织更为明显。与传统媒体相比,社交媒体对可预防危机的负面影响明显更大,对意外危机的影响较弱。讨论了理论和实践意义,以及未来研究的方向。主持人分析表明,无论是危机责任感还是说服力,当组织与大学生交流时,与非学生公众交流的效果大小都更显着。与真实组织相比,社交媒体在抑制危机责任方面的能力对于虚构组织更为明显。与传统媒体相比,社交媒体对可预防危机的负面影响明显更大,对意外危机的影响较弱。讨论了理论和实践意义,以及未来研究的方向。与真实组织相比,社交媒体在抑制危机责任方面的能力对于虚构组织更为明显。与传统媒体相比,社交媒体对可预防危机的负面影响明显更大,对意外危机的影响较弱。讨论了理论和实践意义,以及未来研究的方向。与真实组织相比,社交媒体在抑制危机责任方面的能力对于虚构组织更为明显。与传统媒体相比,社交媒体对可预防危机的负面影响明显更大,对意外危机的影响较弱。讨论了理论和实践意义,以及未来研究的方向。
