社交媒体已成为公众寻求有关危机或风险的信息的日益重要的来源。尽管这种依赖增加了,但人们对与来源可信度的认知或寻求与风险相关的额外信息的愿望相关的心理过程知之甚少。目前的研究调查了更新速度在使用Twitter的可信度感知和信息搜索中的作用。这些结果没有提供证据表明更新速度与所考虑的结果之间存在直接关系。然而,他们确实一直支持一种中介模型,在该模型中,认知精化在更新速度与发送者能力、善意、可信度和读者(追随者/受众/评价者/目标)对额外信息的渴望之间的关系中起中介作用。这些发现从它们的含义和应用用途方面进行了讨论。
Social media have emerged as increasingly important sources through which the public seeks information concerning crises or risks. Despite this increased dependence, little is known about the psychological processes associated with perceptions of source credibility or the desire to seek additional information related to the risk. The current study investigates the role of speed of updates in credibility perceptions and information seeking using Twitter. The results do not provide evidence of a direct relationship between update speed and the outcomes under consideration. They do, however, consistently support a mediation model in which cognitive elaboration mediates the relationship between update speed and perceptions of sender competence, goodwill, trustworthiness, and reader (follower/audience/rater/target) desire for additional information. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications and applied use.
