ABSTRACT

We extended the influence of presumed media influence model by taking interpersonal communication into account. Our survey (N = 642) results revealed that individuals’ attention to COVID-19 information on social media and their engagement in interpersonal communication about the disease independently and jointly affected presumed others’ attention. The more that individuals engaged in interpersonal communication, the less that their attention to mediated content factored into how they perceived others’ attention to such content. Presumed others’ attention, in turn, was positively associated with presuming that others were influenced by COVID-19 misinformation and the intention to correct, but not censor, misinformation.

摘要

我们通过考虑人际传播来扩展假定媒体影响模型的影响。我们的调查 ( N = 642) 结果显示，个人对社交媒体上 COVID-19 信息的关注以及他们对疾病的人际交流的参与独立和共同影响了其他人的关注。个人参与人际交流的次数越多，他们对中介内容的关注就越少影响他们如何看待他人对此类内容的关注。反过来，假定他人的注意力与假定他人受到 COVID-19 错误信息的影响以及纠正而非审查错误信息的意图呈正相关。
