Explicating the effects of narrative source and causal attribution on nulliparous Chinese women’s childbirth injury-related risk perceptions and information-seeking intentions
Contrary to the prevalence of childbirth injuries, childbirth stories are rarely shared publicly. With social media granting Chinese women greater access to ‘invisible’ childbirth injury issues, the question arises as to how online childbirth injury information enables nulliparous (i.e. women with no previous childbirth experience) Chinese women to activate self-protective mechanisms. Two online experiments were conducted based on narrative persu…
Makeup as a postfeminist masquerade: Understanding the impact of beauty tutorial engagement on young Chinese women's appearance satisfaction
Beauty tutorials, one of the most popular media genres among young Chinese women, promote makeup as a self-beautifying ‘masquerade’ for women to cope with societal lookism. This genre celebrates postfeminist self-empowerment by providing young women with role models (i.e. beauty influencers) who successfully transform themselves with makeup. Drawing upon the theoretical frameworks of social media engagement, social comparison, and postfeminism, t…
Cyber anti-intellectualism and information seeking about Sars-CoV-2 variants
While scientific knowledge acquisition is a vital premise for citizens’ self-protection against COVID-19, the impact of anti-intellectualism on scientific information seeking has yet to be fully examined. Based on a cross-sectional survey, this study investigated the association of distrust and stigmatization forms of anti-intellectualism (i.e. AID vs. AIS) with the Planned Risk Information Seeking Model (PRISM) in predicting Chinese netizens’ in…
De-celebrifying the problematic wanghong: Interlocking tensions in Chinese digital anti-fandom
The deconstruction of celebrity persona reflects public concerns within rapidly changing societies. Bringing perspectives from de-legitimation and anti-fandom, this paper investigates how Wanwan, a controversial Chinese Internet celebrity (wanghong), was de-celebrified as a bragger, sugar baby, and two-faced traitor by her anti-fans. Anti-fans condemned Wanwan for her self-glorification, sex trading for material goods, and immorality as an elite.…
Incommensurability Between “Filial Daughter” and “All-Capable Princess”: Discursive Legitimation in Chinese Media Coverage of Quan Hongchan and Gu Eileen
This study investigated how Chinese media employed discursive legitimation strategies to incorporate the atypical identities of Quan Hongchan and Gu Eileen into the party-state’s cultural and emotional governance. A critical discourse analysis revealed that multifaceted tensions were (re)produced in media constructions of these two remarkable sporting heroines. By portraying Quan as an exemplar of “socialist filial daughter,” Chinese media hoped …

Bargaining with patriarchy or converting men into pro-feminists: Social-mediated frame alignment in feminist connective activism
This study applies the frame alignment theory in the social movement literature and a mixed-methods frame analysis to investigate how Chinese social media influencers employ various strategies to promote men’s pro-feminist engagement. Notably, presenting universal human values is identified as a frame extension strategy that goes beyond the narrow scope of egoism and altruism. In contrast, appealing to egoistic and altruistic values, as a frame a…

This soon triggered an unprecedented wave of socially-mediated menstrual activism. By adopting frame alignment as a theoretical framework, this study aims to explore the frames social media influencers utilize to represent topics relating to menstruation and menstrual activism and how…
