摘要

各个学科的学者都讨论了日益严重的信息回避问题及其不良后果。为了汇集不同的观点，澄清这一现象，并探讨其后果，进行了范围审查。共有206篇文章符合规定的纳入标准。该审查整合了相关术语的定义，并将信息回避定义为旨在延迟或阻止从（选定的）媒体和人际来源获取特定类型的可获得的、可获得的、与个人相关的、可能未知但不需要的信息的任何（在）行动。尽管假设的后果范围很广，但只有有限数量的研究对它们进行了检验，结果显示结果好坏参半。根据研究现状，提出了指导信息回避未来研究的几点建议。

A Scoping Review to Clarify the Concept of Information Avoidance and Its Postulated and Examined Consequences

Scholars from various academic disciplines have discussed the growing issue of information avoidance and its adverse consequences. To bring together different perspectives, clarify this phenomenon, and explore its consequences, a scoping review was conducted. A total of 206 articles met the stipulated inclusion criteria. The review consolidated definitions of related terms and defined information avoidance as any (in)action intended to delay or prevent the acquisition of specific types of available, accessible, personally relevant, possibly unknown but unwanted information from (selected) media and interpersonal sources. Despite a wide range of postulated consequences, only a limited number of studies have examined them, with findings revealing mixed results. Based on the current state of research, desiderates are proposed to guide future research on information avoidance.

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
