With the increase of individuals’ global mobility and diversified migration patterns, research on sociological public diplomacy has highlighted the importance of the interpersonal communication of within-border foreign publics (WBFPs) for public diplomacy. The present study aims to help move the research in public diplomacy forward and contribute to empirical and theoretical understanding of temporary migrants (TMs) as a subgroup of WBFPs by examining how they communicate about their host region with their personal networks from home. Using semi-structured interviews with 17 TMs in Macao, this study examines their megaphoning characteristics and two-way communication patterns with their personal networks in their home regions. TMs communicated about Macao based on their firsthand experiences, providing evidence of megaphoning. The communicated content consisted mainly of cultural and life-based topics, including both positive tones and negative problem sharing of issues they immediately encountered in their life in the host region. Two-way rather than one-way communication was found, which reflected TMs’ willingness to adjust their communication pattern after understanding the awareness level and the interest of their communication counterparts. Furthermore, TMs’ two-way communication facilitated the correction and expansion of information their personal networks held about Macao. The present study helps build understanding of the communication behaviors of TMs and their roles as microboundary spanners in public diplomacy.

外交急救或第一次伤害:外国临时移民对其所在地区的专业交流作用

随着个人全球流动性的增加和移民模式的多样化,社会学公共外交的研究凸显了境内外国公众(WBFPs)人际交往对公共外交的重要性。本研究旨在帮助推动公共外交研究向前发展,并通过研究临时移民 (TM) 作为 WBFP 子群的经验和理论理解,通过研究他们如何通过在家中的个人网络就东道国进行交流。本研究通过对澳门 17 名 TM 的半结构化访谈,考察了他们的扩音特征和与家乡地区个人网络的双向沟通​​模式。TMs根据他们的第一手经验交流澳门,提供了扩音器的证据。交流的内容主要包括文化和生活主题,包括他们在东道国生活中立即遇到的问题的积极基调和消极问题分享。发现双向而不是单向的交流,这反映了TMs在了解了他们的交流对象的意识水平和兴趣后调整他们的交流方式的意愿。此外,TM 的双向交流有助于更正和扩展其个人网络中有关澳门的信息。本研究有助于理解 TM 的交流行为及其作为公共外交中微边界扳手的作用。包括积极的语气和消极的问题分享他们在东道地区的生活中立即遇到的问题。发现双向而不是单向的交流,这反映了TMs在了解了他们的交流对象的意识水平和兴趣后调整他们的交流方式的意愿。此外,TM 的双向交流有助于更正和扩展其个人网络中有关澳门的信息。本研究有助于理解 TM 的交流行为及其作为公共外交中微边界扳手的作用。包括积极的语气和消极的问题分享他们在东道地区的生活中立即遇到的问题。发现双向而不是单向的交流,这反映了TMs在了解了他们的交流对象的意识水平和兴趣后调整他们的交流方式的意愿。此外,TM 的双向交流有助于更正和扩展其个人网络中有关澳门的信息。本研究有助于理解 TM 的交流行为及其作为公共外交中微边界扳手的作用。这反映了TMs在了解了交流对象的认知水平和兴趣后调整交流方式的意愿。此外,TM 的双向交流有助于更正和扩展其个人网络中有关澳门的信息。本研究有助于理解 TM 的交流行为及其作为公共外交中微边界扳手的作用。这反映了TMs在了解了交流对象的认知水平和兴趣后调整交流方式的意愿。此外,TM 的双向交流有助于更正和扩展其个人网络中有关澳门的信息。本研究有助于理解 TM 的交流行为及其作为公共外交中微边界扳手的作用。
