Diversity of digital media exposure, information verification and vaccination intention: An empirical study in China
Purpose During the COVID-19 pandemic, the public relied heavily on digital media to stay tuned for the latest update. Media preference could increase risk perceptions, although the influence of diverse media exposure remains unknown. Based on protection motivation theory, this study aims to investigate how digital media exposure diversity and information verification influence vaccination intention. Design/methodology/approach Analyzing survey da…
The serodiagnositic value of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens in antibody detection using luciferase immunosorbent assay
Introduction Among the different antigens used in the detection of anti- Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies, significant differences in sensitivity and specificity have been observed. Further evaluation of C. trachomatis antigens in antibody detection is urgently needed for the development and application of C. trachomatis serologic assays. Methods Chlamydia trachomatis antigens Pgp3, TmeA, InaC, and HSP60 were selected and used in luciferase immun…
Protecting teenagers’ gaming privacy: The roles of parental mediation, platform protection, and risky encounters
The popularity of mobile gaming among teenagers has raised concerns about privacy breaches. By integrating social cognitive theory and protection motivation theory, this study is the first to investigate how parental mediation, platform functions, and self-learning affect teen players’ risk perception and prevention in the gaming environment. We surveyed 561 high school students who play mobile games regularly aged between 15 and 19 in China. Thi…
Engagement in Social Distancing: An Empirical Test of Media, Intra-Family and Doctor-Patient Communication During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study investigated how media presentations, intra-family communication, and doctor-patient communication influence compliance with social distancing orders during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. Results from an online survey in China suggested that media risk communication, intra-family communication, and doctor-patient communication enhanced respondents’ intention for social distancing via the m…
Migration stress, risky Internet uses, and scam victimization: An empirical study among Chinese migrant workers
In China, Internet scams against migrant workers have grown increasingly prevalent. This study uses routine activity theory and uses and gratifications theory to investigate how migration stress affects susceptibility to risky internet use and scam-related outcomes among Chinese migrant workers. The present study utilized a survey of 543 migrant workers. Findings reveal that migration stress was a significant predictor of engaging in risky online…
Exploring Covid-19 Vaccine Misinformation Exposure, Beliefs, Fear, and Information Avoidance via the Stimulus–Organism–Response Framework
Empirical evidence generated from theory-driven research addressing the relationship between misinformation and vaccine information avoidance during a pandemic remains lacking. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework, this study examined the influence of vaccine misinformation exposure and information overload on cognitive and affective responses as well as vaccine information avoidance behaviors. Findings showed that misinformatio…
Depiction of Vaginal Microbiota in Women With High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection
Persistent infection with the carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prerequisite for the progression of cervical lesions and cancer. A growing body of research has focused on the functional role of the vaginal microbiota in the persistence of HPV infection. Understanding the microbial composition and structure in women with high-risk (hr)-HPV infection may help reveal associations between the vaginal microbiota and HPV infection, and ident…
Exploring Stress and Problematic Use of Short-Form Video Applications among Middle-Aged Chinese Adults: The Mediating Roles of Duration of Use and Flow Experience
The pervasiveness of smartphones and the popularity of short-form video applications (SVAs), such as TikTok, among middle-aged Chinese adults have raised concerns about problematic SVAs use. Although a plethora of research has examined problematic smartphone use among teenagers and young adults, scarce attention has been paid to the middle-aged group. This study integrates the psychopathological approach and the compensatory use approach to expli…
Differences in Preventive Behaviors of Covid-19 between Urban and Rural Residents: Lessons Learned from A Cross-Sectional Study in China
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in preventive behaviors of COVID-19 between urban and rural residents, as well as identify the factors that might contribute to such differences. Methods: Our online survey included 1591 participants from 31 provinces of China with 87% urban and 13% rural residents. We performed multiple linear regressions and path analysis to examine the relationship between rural status and behavi…
Barriers to Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening among Middle-Aged Chinese
Our study contributes to understanding the negative predictors of middle-aged Chinese to get LDCT lung cancer scans. Future campaign programs should help audiences to build comprehensive understandings about lung cancer and LDCT scan. To better promote LDCT scan in China, the government should fund more trial programs continuously and public efforts should be made to rebuild the patient-doctor trust
Understanding third-person perception about Internet privacy risks
This study aims to test the third-person effect (TPE) in the perception of Internet privacy risks. Support was found for a TPE model suggesting that users report greater perceived Internet privacy risks on others than on themselves, based on a sample ( N = 613) from Amazon MTurk. In particular, the differential perception of Internet privacy risks between self and others increased people’s willingness to recommend protective measures to others bu…
