A Meta-Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Technologies Use and Loneliness
Recent research has investigated the connection between artificial intelligence (AI) utilization and feelings of loneliness, yielding inconsistent outcomes. This meta-analysis aims to clarify this relationship by synthesizing data from 47 relevant studies across 21 publications. Findings indicate a generally significant positive correlation between AI use and loneliness ( r = 0.163, p r = −0.266, p = 0.088), whereas engagement with physically dis…
Trading time for discretion
China’s government responsiveness has garnered considerable scholarly attention. Through fieldwork in three Beijing communities, this study examines how a digital government platform, Swift Response to Public Complaints (SRPC), shapes responsive interactions between grassroots officials (GOs) and citizens. Our investigation revealed that the rules established by the SRPC suppressed GOs’ perceived discretion. To navigate this reduced discretion, G…
Silence Across the Ocean? A Comparative Look at the Effects of the “Spiral of Silence” in China and the US Regarding Fukushima Wastewater Release Discourse
Amid the Fukushima wastewater release controversy, this study explores the spiral of silence theory’s role in international digital discourse, using the cases of China and the US Through a survey conducted in both countries (N = 999), this study investigates how perceived congruency with four distinct reference groups predicts individuals’ intentions to voice opinions on social media.

Linking Community OPR and Communication Infrastructure During a Public Health Crisis
Engaging the public and community organizations in local health actions greatly assists disease prevention and control. However, it remains unclear how organization-public relationships (OPR) and communication networks within communities contribute to community health actions. To fill this gap, a survey was conducted among community members in Shanghai, China, who were challenged by the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results revealed that…
Non-professional Medical Interpreting as a Contextualized Practice
Non-professional medical interpreters are frequent participants of bilingual health communication. Yet, scholarly attention paid to this group's roles in less routinized medical encounters is insufficient. Adopting the concept of "role-space," this study explores volunteer medical interpreters' (VMIs) roles in mediating provider-patient conflicts at a designated hospital tasked to admit and treat foreign patients in City Y, China. In-depth interv…
The Consumption of Leisure Sports and the Emerging Urban Middle-Class in Contemporary China
This study examines the emerging phenomenon of urban middle-class Chinese leisure sports consumption in contemporary China. It is based on historic reviews and in-depth interviews conducted by WeChat, consumption-related theoretical analysis, and the adoption of Western middle-class lifestyle in relation to leisure sports practices in the People’s Republic of China. The findings firstly show that leisure sports have established an economic space …
A gateway to acquaintance community
WeChat interest-based group chats (IGCs) are becoming popular among China’s elderly migrants. Previous domestication research paid little attention to mobile services that highlighted shared goals and teamwork beyond familial boundaries. To reconsider the approach of domestication in the emerging mediascape, this study employs the concept of “collective domestication” to analyze how elderly migrants in the W community of Xiamen, China, use and ma…
What happens after young adults’ “friending” of parents? A qualitative study about mediated family communication and privacy management in China
The existing literature on “friending” parents on mobile social media has focused on the momentary decision of accepting the “friending” requests. In addition, a major body of research on privacy management online focuses on predicting privacy protection behaviors based on samples primarily from the United States. This in-depth qualitative study employs focus groups to explore how Chinese young people interact with their parents after accepting t…
Motivations of adventure recreation in an emerging market
China has been recognized as one of the world’s largest tourism markets. However, relatively little attention has been given to this market as potential sources of adventure recreation (AR). Based on in-depth interviews of 31 AR enthusiasts, a pilot online study, and a final survey of 202 Chinese AR enthusiasts, an AR Participating Motivation Scale (PMS) for the Chinese market was developed for the first time and five distinctive motivation facto…
