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…
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…
Alcohol-related social media content and alcohol consumption
Studies have suggested that exposure to alcohol-related content influences drinking behavior through its impact on alcohol-related cognition. In this study we investigated whether exposure to alcohol-related content presented on social media influences alcohol consumption by stimulating viewers to post alcoholrelated content. Using a dataset ( N = 203) from a crosssectional survey conducted in the United States, we assessed respondents' alcohol-r…
The Indirect Effects of Health Information Seeking on Health Lifestyle
To unpack the process of how health information seeking influences health behaviors, we examined the mediating roles of interpersonal discussion and online information sharing in the associations between health information seeking and healthy lifestyle behaviors and the moderating role of health literacy in the associations among health information seeking, interpersonal discussion, online information sharing, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Dat…
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 …

Empowering or backfiring? The paradoxical effects of digital media skills on depression through (mis)information sharing on social media
This study proposed and tested a novel theoretical framework of media empowerment regarding the relationship between digital media skills and mental health as well as the complex mechanism linking the two. This study utilized an online survey of a representative sample of Shanghai residents ( N = 916) to examine the interconnections among digital media skills, (mis)information sharing, and mental health. The findings revealed that the empowerment…
Media Literacy Interventions Improve Resilience to Misinformation
The widespread dissemination of misinformation has become a global concern. A recommended solution is to improve people’s ability to discern true from false information through appropriate media literacy education programs. This meta-analysis quantitatively synthesized the results of 49 experimental studies ( N = 81,155) that examined the efficacy of media literacy interventions in mitigating misinformation. This study finds that media literacy i…
The effects of self-generated and other-generated eWOM in inoculating against misinformation
Health pandemic in the era of (mis)information
Panic buying frequently occurs in health pandemics, disturbing both the market and people’s lives. The situation is exacerbated by the easy spread of misinformation online. With a web-based experiment, the present study examined how user-generated anti-panic buying messages online could be leveraged to combat panic buying. It was found that user comments discussing how panic buying affects the lives of less advantaged social groups on social medi…
The paradoxical effects of institutional trust on risk perception and risk management in the Covid-19 pandemic
Adopting the theoretical lenses of social amplification of risk framework and trust paradox, this study examines how people’s attention to media information influences their risk perception and risk management behaviors (i.e. vaccination intention) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in three Chinese societies (i.e. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China). A total of 9,575 valid samples were obtained via online survey panels. The results revea…
