Abstract

This study used a nationally representative survey of U.S. residents (N = 1,969) to examine whether attention to information about COVID-19 in traditional news media sources and on social media correlated with a higher perceived risk of personal and public harm. As anticipated, we found a positive association between attention to COVID-19 information in traditional news media sources and the perceived risks of COVID-19. We also found a positive association between attention to COVID-19 social media posts and perceived risks but only among Republicans. Other predictors of increased risk perception included age, being female and awareness of a local stay-at-home order.

COVID-19:审视传统和社交媒体关注在放大风险中的作用

这项研究对美国居民进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查(N = 1969)，以研究传统新闻媒体来源和社交媒体上对COVID-19信息的关注是否与个人和公共伤害的更高感知风险相关。正如预期的那样，我们发现传统新闻媒体来源对COVID-19信息的关注与感知COVID-19风险之间存在正相关关系。我们还发现，关注COVID-19社交媒体帖子与感知风险之间存在正相关，但仅在共和党人中存在。其他风险认知增加的预测因素包括年龄、女性以及对当地居家秩序的认识。
