Results demonstrate that, as a search engine, TikTok is perceived as less valuable than traditional search engines (e.g., Google) in terms of convenience, reassurance, independence, privacy, and functionality. Meanwhile, evaluative actions primarily focus on checking others’ comments and video elements rather than checking other official outside sources. Live-streaming and algorithm-driven recommendations significantly impact users’ perceived credibility of information found on TikTok and their sense of social presence. Algorithm-based recommendations also play a crucial role in shaping users’ trust in content and their verification behaviors. Contrary to expectations, meta-voicing (i.e., users’ engagement via the comment section and reactions) does not predict social presence, which hints at the need to refine existing affordance frameworks for short-form video platforms. Social presence and perceived source credibility, in turn, significantly predict information-seeking behaviors. Interestingly, higher perceived credibility leads to more evaluative actions being taken to reassess information found on TikTok. Empirically, the findings have implications for information literacy initiatives, platform design, and algorithmic transparency to understand users’ searching behaviors and how they evaluate information credibility on social media platforms. Theoretical implications of the findings, as well as limitations and suggestions for future research, are further discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102324"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145019732","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}

However, the consequences of inconsistency between self-generated and other-generated information (e.g., the difference between self-declared location and Internet Protocol addresses-based locations) are largely overlooked in prior research. Drawing on two authenticity facets—authenticity perceived by the audience and authenticity performed by the presenters—we argue that outcomes of inconsistency between self-generated and other-generated information depend on the presenter’s audience size. We specifically focus on the consequence of user engagement, a pivotal metric with significant implications in the digital landscape. Leveraging a natural experiment setting on Weibo, we analyzed 329 bloggers who provided overseas content and their 55,852 posts over four months. We employed a difference-in-differences design and our two-way fixed effect model revealed that inconsistency between the location-based self-generated and other-generated information influenced user engagement differently across presenter types. Engagement decreased for bloggers with fewer followers, in alignment with how audiences perceive the authenticity of the presenter. Conversely, engagement increased for individuals with a larger following. Additional analyses indicate that this increase among those with a substantial following could be linked to their self-presentation tactics and the attraction of new audiences, underscoring the presenters’ capability of performing authenticity. Our findings offer insights into the understanding of authenticity in computer-mediated communication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102310"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144864106","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}

Using two-wave panel survey data (<em>N</em> = 447) from Hong Kong, we find that FoMO is positively related to problematic social media use in cross-sectional data, but it does not predict problematic behavior once it is established at Time 1. In addition, both social media broadcasting and connection positively mediate the relationship between FoMO and problematic use, even after controlling for prior levels of problematic use. In contrast, lurking mediates the relationship between FoMO and problematic social media use concurrently but not longitudinally.

Unlike previous studies that treated economic and cultural factors independently, this research examines their complex interactions to provide a more holistic understanding of their combined influence. This study analyzed data on the daily top 10 Netflix TV show streaming rankings in 75 countries from 1 January 2021 to 4 June 2023. The fsQCA analysis revealed three major patterns: 1) cases of high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the production country, and close geographical distances between nations; 2) cases centered on linguistic similarity, that exhibit close geographical and cultural distances; and 3) cases of high GDP in the production country, linguistic similarities, and close cultural distances. These findings reveal that economic and cultural factors do not operate independently; instead, they interact in complex ways to shape global media flows providing a more holistic understanding of their influence by highlighting the importance of factor combinations in understanding cultural exchange. This research also offers empirical insights for OTT operators on optimizing content strategies and contributes to the broader understanding of international media management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102322"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144922384","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}
