Abstract

This study highlights information networks for COVID-19 according to race/ethnicity by employing social network analysis for Twitter. First, this study finds that racial/ethnic groups are differently dependent on racial/ethnic key players. Whites and Asians show the highest number of racial/ethnic key players, Hispanics have a racial/ethnic key player, and blacks have no racial/ethnic key player in the top 20. Second, racial/ethnic groups show different characteristics of information resources for COVID-19. Whites have the highest key player group in news media, politicians, and researchers, and blacks show the highest key player group in news media. Asians demonstrate the highest key player group in news media, and Hispanics exhibit institutes as the highest key player group. Lastly, there are some differences in group communications across the race/ethnicity. Whites and blacks show open communication systems, whereas Asians and Hispanics reveal closed communication systems. Therefore, governments should understand the characteristics of communications for COVID-19 according to the race/ethnicity.

根据种族/族裔划分的 COVID-19 信息网络。

本研究通过对推特（Twitter）进行社交网络分析，突出了 COVID-19 按种族/族裔划分的信息网络。首先，本研究发现种族/族裔群体对种族/族裔关键人物的依赖程度不同。白人和亚洲人拥有最多的种族/族裔关键人物，西班牙裔拥有一名种族/族裔关键人物，而黑人在前 20 名中没有种族/族裔关键人物。其次，种族/族裔群体在 COVID-19 的信息资源方面表现出不同的特点。白人在新闻媒体、政治家和研究人员中拥有最高的关键人物群体，黑人在新闻媒体中拥有最高的关键人物群体。亚洲人在新闻媒体中显示出最高的关键参与者群体，而西班牙裔在研究所中显示出最高的关键参与者群体。最后，不同种族/族裔在群体沟通方面存在一些差异。白人和黑人表现出开放的沟通系统，而亚裔和西班牙裔则表现出封闭的沟通系统。因此，政府应了解 COVID-19 不同种族/族裔的沟通特点。
