Health Messaging During an Infodemic
This study used online survey data collected from four Asian cities to reveal how individuals' health beliefs are shaped in a time of trust deficits and changing media environments. We discovered a negative relationship between individuals' competence-based government trust and their anti-vaccine attitudes, thereby underscoring the important role played by trust in risk communication with individuals during public health crises. We further examin…
Which Negative Emotions Drive Preventive Behaviors? Comparing Emotion Conceptualizations and Their Conditional Effects Across Health and Environmental Risk
5,531) to assess cross-risk generalizability. Results show that, in COVID-19, appraisal-based emotions outperform general negative emotions in predicting preventive behaviors, with loss-based emotions exhibiting stronger positive associations than ethics-based emotions. Moderation inferences are largely invariant across conceptualizations: cognitive risk perception does not moderate the emotion-preventive behavior associations, whereas macro-leve…
Determining or Mediating Media? Model Comparisons on the Role of Media and Risk in Shaping Preventive Behaviors During Crises
This study investigates the role of media in risk communication during crises by comparing two theoretical perspectives. The first paradigm views media as a determining factor, while the second sees media as a mediator. The study analyzes two survey data sets: cross-sectional data on nuclear waste issues from eight regions (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and the United Kingdom; N = 8,591) and …
Trust subdimensions as mediators between crisis response and satisfaction
Purpose This study aims to examine how crisis response content and form influence relational satisfaction, with trust – categorized as ability-based and benevolence-based – serving as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach Using demographically representative survey data from 3,515 respondents across Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the authors used structural equation modeling to examine the mediating effects of trust and distinct roles of…

What drives public support for health policies ? The protection-motivated mediating model of institutional trust and risk paradox
This study examined how institutional trustworthiness shapes public attitudes toward the health policy across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Using stratified quota sampling to recruit participants from each region (Ntotal = 4812), we applied Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to explore the roles of threat appraisal (perceived probability and unfamiliarity) and coping appraisal (self-efficacy and response efficacy). Our findings showed th…
Self-Transcendence
The COVID-19 pandemic and the steps governments took to combat it tormented societies across the globe. Accordingly, existential positive psychologists have emphasized the importance of self-transcendence in mitigating the distress and agony caused by prolonged and rigorous health measures. In this cross-cultural study, the correlation between self-transcendence, people’s confidence in government, and democracy was examined. Based on the findings…
Country/Region Level Pandemic Severity Moderates the Relationships among Risk Experience, Perceived Life Satisfaction, and Psychological Distress in Covid-19
Scholars and communications practitioners worldwide have sought novel resilience models amid heightened rates of psychological distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined perceived life satisfaction as a determinant of resilience. Additionally, we investigated the assumption that perceived pandemic severity at the country/region level moderates structural relationships within our risk-resilience model. Analyzing more than 34,000 valid s…
A Shot in the Arm for Vaccination Intention
This large-sample study of three Chinese societies-Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong-demonstrates the importance of media exposure for people's vaccination intentions during the COVID-19 pandemic. By employing two constructs (i.e., perceived susceptibility and severity) in the health belief model (HBM), the study identifies significant indirect effects of media exposure on individuals' vaccination intention in all three Chinese societies. Tha…
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…
