Abstract

Abstract. Exposure to right-wing media has been shown to be related to lower perceived threat from COVID-19, lower compliance with prophylactic measures against it, and higher incidence of infection and death. What features of right-wing media messages may account for these effects? In a preregistered cross-sectional study ( N = 554), we tested a model that differentiates perceived consequences of two CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommendations – washing hands and staying home – for basic human values. People who consumed more right-wing media perceived these behaviors as less beneficial for their personal security, for the well-being of close ones, and the well-being of society at large. Perceived consequences of following the CDC recommendations mediated the relationship between media consumption and compliance with recommendations. Implications for public health messaging are discussed.

为什么右翼媒体消费与COVID-19措施的依从性较低相关?

摘要事实证明，接触右翼媒体与较低的COVID-19威胁感知、较低的预防措施依从性以及较高的感染和死亡发生率有关。右翼媒体信息的哪些特征可以解释这些影响?在一项预先登记的横断面研究(N = 554)中，我们测试了一个模型，该模型区分了两种CDC(疾病控制和预防中心)建议的感知后果——洗手和呆在家里——基本的人类价值观。消费更多右翼媒体的人认为，这些行为对他们的个人安全、亲近的人的幸福以及整个社会的幸福都没有好处。遵循CDC建议的感知后果介导了媒体消费与遵守建议之间的关系。讨论了对公共卫生信息传递的影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Media Psychology (JMP) is committed to publishing original, high-quality papers which cover the broad range of media psychological research. This peer-reviewed journal focuses on how human beings select, use, and experience various media as well as how media (use) can affect their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Submissions must substantially advance the current state-of the art on a theoretical and/or an empirical level. To name just a few typical fields and domains of inquiry, the Journal of Media Psychology considers manuscripts dealing with research on entertainment, computer-mediated communication (including social media), human-computer interaction, e-learning, computer and video games, virtual environments, or advertising. The journal is also open to research from neighboring disciplines as far as this work ties in with psychological concepts of the uses and effects of the media. Submissions of comparative work, e.g., crossmedia, cross-gender, or cross-cultural, are encouraged. Moreover, submissions including alternative analysis procedures such as the Bayesian approach are welcome. Starting in 2015, the pre-registration of research plans will also be possible. To ensure short turn-around cycles for manuscript review and fast publication, the Journal of Media Psychology relies heavily upon electronic communication and information exchange, starting from electronic submission and continuing throughout the entire review and production process.
