Further, previous studies show limitations with regard to the measurement of actual online exposure to disinformation. For this study, we used a novel approach to understand how PRR attitudes, media trust and social media usage affect online exposure to disinformation in the beginning of the corona pandemic. We combined survey and tracking data on individual online information behavior of N = 594 participants from Germany. To identify disinformation in the tracking data, we developed a hybrid machine-human approach combining automated classification of disinformation with hand-coding. Findings show very low average online exposure to disinformation, but high concentration among a small group of individuals and websites. Higher levels of PRR attitudes, trust in non-traditional media, reliance on social media for political information, and lower levels of education predicted a higher online exposure to disinformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102250"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the Big Five personality traits, narcissism, and histrionism as potential predictors of influencer career aspirations. Participants (N = 773, aged 16–17) completed personality assessments and rated their motivation to pursue various professions. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that higher levels of extraversion, narcissism, and histrionism were positively associated with motivation to become a social media influencer, while conscientiousness exhibited an inconsistent negative association. Country-specific analyses indicated that narcissism was a significant predictor in Poland, whereas extraversion, conscientiousness, and histrionism were significant predictors in the UK. These findings highlight the interplay between personality and career aspirations in the digital age. While pursuing influencer careers may offer opportunities for self-expression that appeal to certain personality types, it also poses psychological risks, particularly for individuals high in narcissism and histrionism. These results have implications for career counselling and mental health professionals, supporting young adults navigating the new professional landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102248"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual resilience—a person’s capacity to cope with considerable change, adversity, or risk—can help decrease the likelihood of mental health problems and recover to a healthy state quickly. Despite its importance for individuals’ mental health, resilience has not received enough attention in the literature. Therefore, using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), we aim to investigate the influence of personality traits on individual resilience in the mental health context. Meanwhile, based on trait activation theory, we consider the structural social capital as a trait-relevant situational cue and explore its moderating effect on the relationship between personality traits and individual resilience. We trained a deep learning model to infer a user’s personality traits from user-generated textual content, constructed a rule-based algorithm to evaluate individual resilience, and used social network analysis to measure structural social capital. And then we tested our hypotheses using a pooled regression model based on panel data. The results indicated that higher individual resilience is related to higher extroversion, feeling, and perceiving relevant personality traits. Introverts and judgers become more resilient when structural social capital is present. Our findings reveal the important role that personality traits (nature) and structural social capital (nurture) play in shaping and influencing individual resilience. The study offers valuable insights for community managers to identify potential users with low levels of resilience and give them extra care and help.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102249"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study investigates how emojis and sender-receiver relationships influence the perception of sarcasm in ambiguous texts, whether positive or negative. A total of 127 Chinese participants rated sarcasm, unfriendliness, and humour across 36 communication scenarios (six emojis × three relationships × two sentence valences). The three-way analysis of variance results indicated that the use of the ‘Unamused’ emoji <figure><img></figure> significantly affects the sarcasm perception and emotional responses to ambiguous text replies, where it is an effective indicator of sarcastic criticism. The use of the ‘Wink’ emoji <figure><img></figure> affects sarcasm perceptions and emotional responses to ambiguous messages. In Eastern cultures, using a ‘Wink’ emoji <figure><img></figure> in positive ambiguous replies tends to reduce the sarcastic tone, which contrasts with the findings from Western contexts. The ‘Tears of joy’ <figure><img></figure>, ‘Smirk’<figure><img></figure>, and ‘Smiling’ <figure><img></figure>emojis provide only limited enhancement, resulting in ambiguous interpretations.

However, studies show conflicting results regarding competencies in recognizing misinformation across different age groups; thus, initiatives for misinformation literacy have not been as effective as anticipated. To reconcile this conflict and provide a strategy for supporting misinformation literacy, this study aims to explore how perceived competence in recognizing misinformation—comprising confidence and endeavor —varies among age groups and what factors influence this competence. Using data from a media panel survey in South Korea involving 9,060 participants, we found that younger adults exhibit higher confidence and endeavors in recognizing misinformation compared to older adults. Additionally, factors such as smart device usage capability and critical attitudes toward media content significantly influence misinformation recognition across all age groups, with varying impacts. Notably, social media use has contrasting effects as it decreases younger adults’ confidence and endeavors in misinformation recognition but enhances older adults’ confidence. Our findings provide key insights into the age-specific challenges and factors shaping misinformation literacy, emphasizing the importance of tailored educational programs that consider the diverse needs and behaviors of various age groups.

Structural equation modeling based on an online survey (<em>N</em> = 690) disclosed that health information overload was positively associated with searching for health information on online search engines and news media. Additionally, seeking health information from health-specific websites and online news media was positively tied to health misperceptions. Furthermore, increased health information overload was related to stronger health misperceptions, and they were both positively tied to cyberchondria. Theoretically, this study affords a more nuanced understanding of cyberchondria by zooming into the roles of seeking health information via different online sources. Besides, health misperceptions, as a relatively innovative predictor of cyberchondria, have been examined empirically.
