对于分享坏消息的犹豫的解释（即，MUM效应）在很大程度上缺乏一个组织理论框架。这篇文章的目的是根据人们在分享坏消息时所预期的与面子相关的担忧来重新解释这些解释。具体来说，我们质疑是否与面子相关的关注调解了新闻的效价与随后在社交媒体中触发的心理不情愿和行为犹豫之间的联系。两个样本（Ns = 138，229）使用不同的实验方法显示数据一致的调解两种不同的关注（担心困扰的目标，希望避免负面情绪）。MUM效应的研究和局限性的影响进行了讨论。
Explanations for the hesitation to share bad news (i.e., the MUM effect) have emerged largely absent of an organizing theoretical framework. The current article aims to recast these explanations in terms of the face-related concerns senders anticipate when sharing bad news. Specifically, we questioned whether face- related concerns mediate the link between the valence of the news and the psychological reluctance and behavioral hesitation that are subsequently triggered in senders. Two samples (Ns = 138, 229) using different experimental methodologies revealed data consistent with mediation for two different concerns (fear of distressing the target, desire to avoid a negative mood). Implications for MUM effect research and limitations are discussed.
