How user comments affect news readers’ outgroup prejudice
The digitalization of media creates an environment for users to engage in indirect contact with outgroup members whom they would otherwise not make contact with in real life. This research investigated how vicarious contact (observing intergroup interactions) via user comments on news articles reduced readers’ prejudice against outgroups and the moderating roles of direct contact in such effects. An online experiment ( N = 700) demonstrated that …
Examining Ingroup Persuasion and Expectancy Violation as Competing Mechanisms for Biased Information Processing in Social Media
This web-based experiment (N = 447) tested competing theoretical perspectives—Expectancy Violation Theory and ingroup persuasion—on how individuals process online information about a politicized issue. Republican and Democratic participants read pro- or anti-mask comments from Democrat, Republican, or unknown sources. Results partially supported the EVT perspective: Republicans were more persuaded by attitude-consistent anti-mask comments when th…
Text, human voice, or AI voice
This study examines how message modality (text vs. audio) and delivery voice (human vs. AI) within audio messages influence the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination messages. In an online experiment with unvaccinated adults (N = 177), participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimentally manipulated conditions: text, human voice audio, or AI voice audio delivering narrative messages about vaccination. Although no significant differe…
Do Profile Photos Enhance Vicarious Intergroup Contact? Testing Theoretical Perspectives from Social Identity, the Social Identity Model of Deindividuation Effects (Side), and Social Presence
Profile photos are ubiquitous in online environments, yet little is known about how they shape observers’ impressions when mediated interactions involve members of different social groups. This experiment ( N = 1,661) examined how profile photos influence impressions formed during observed intergroup exchanges in news comment sections. A 2 × 2 design (topic × photo) tested mechanisms derived from Social Identity Theory (SIT), the Social Identity …
When Self-Expression via Information Sharing Affects Health Behavior Intentions
554) showed that this self-expressive sharing enhanced relevant health self-concept, which in turn increased intentions to adopt the relevant behavior. Moreover, when sharers anticipated positive feedback from an audience highly relevant to the focal issue in the shared information, they developed more positive attitudes toward the recommended behavior than when they anticipated negative feedback from the same audience. The findings advance under…
Is vigorous physical activity effective for preventing kidney stones
Background With a high rate of occurrence and recurrence, kidney stones represent a common urological issue that poses a substantial burden on public health infrastructures globally. While prior research has linked poor diet and lifestyle to a heightened susceptibility to kidney stones, the impact of daily vigorous physical activity (VPA) duration on kidney stone incidence remains under-investigated. Materials and methods Utilizing data from the …
Other-Interest and compassion as mechanisms of the warranting principle
When an influencer voluntarily discloses sponsorship—rather than having it disclosed by others—it boosts the perceived accuracy of the promotional content and fosters positive attitudes toward the product by increasing viewers’ perception of the endorser’s concern for the audience’s interest. • Conversely, negative viewer comments about the endorsement lower both the perceived accuracy of the promotional content and the positive attitudes toward …

When a Chatbot Disappoints You
Although users’ expectations of a chatbot’s performance could greatly shape their interaction experience, they have been underexplored in the context of social support where chatbots are gaining popularity. A 2 × 2 experiment created expectancy violation and confirmation conditions by matching or mismatching a chatbot’s expertise label (expert vs. non-expert) and its interactional contingency (contingent vs. generic feedback to users). Contingent…

Misinformation and the Paradox of Trust during the covid-19 pandemic in the U.S
As declared “infodemic” by the World Health Organization, the proliferation of Covid-19 misinformation has posed a significant challenge to public health efforts to tackle the pandemic.

To address this question, this study aims to examine whe…
Audience–campaign planner interaction in social media communication campaigns
We proposed a dual typology of audiences for social media communication campaigns: the participating audience, who interacts with campaign planners, and the observing audience, who observes those interactions. Situated in a context of promoting seeking counseling for depression, our online experiment (N = 570) demonstrated that the similarity of the observing and participating audiences (high vs. low), the message features of campaign planners’ r…
How Reading Information on SNSs Influences Interpersonal and Personal Certainties about a Target
Although social network sites (SNSs) carry a wide range of information about a person, previous research discovered they did not reduce uncertainties about the person as well as direct interactions with the person. This paradox prompted a conceptual distinction between interpersonal and personal uncertainties. With a web-based experiment (N = 216), the study tested how one may gain personal and interpersonal certainties about a target person from…

A total of 9,575 valid samples were obtained via online survey panels. The results revea…
Vicarious Interactions in Online Support Communities
Online information seekers often do not actively post or engage in interactions with others, inviting research on how passive users of online communities benefit from the information they see.

Reducing maternal mortality in China in the era of the two-child policy
Reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is of great concern worldwide. After the implementation of the two-child policy in 2013, the number of live births and the proportion of high-risk pregnancies both increased, and these bring new challenges to the reduction of MMR. China implemented a package of nationwide strategies in April 2016, the Five Strategies for Maternal and Newborn Safety (FSMNS). The FSMNS consists of five components: (1) pregnan…
