摘要

新冠肺炎带来了几乎前所未有的社会经济和政治挑战。在这种紧急情况下，典型的社会反应是造谣，自社交媒体出现以来，这种反应愈演愈烈。本研究探讨了影响中国武汉和以色列用户传播疫情相关谣言意愿的因素。我们测试了影响新冠肺炎谣言转发的因素的多变量模型。在2020年4月至5月进行的一项在线调查中，两国领先的社交媒体平台（分别为微信和WhatsApp）的用户报告了新冠肺炎谣言的暴露和传播模式，以及他们这样做的动机。尽管两个社会之间存在重大差异，但发现了有趣的相似之处：在这两种情况下，受个人需求和负面情绪的影响，是造谣背后的主导因素。接触有关谣言的其他信息来源也是一个重要的预测因素，但仅限于中国的情况。

#RumorsCOVID-19: Predicting the Forwarding of Online Rumors in Wuhan, China and in Israel

COVID-19 ushered in almost unprecedented socioeconomic and political challenges. A typical social reaction during such emergencies is rumormongering, which has intensified since the advent of social media. This study explored factors affecting users’ willingness to spread pandemic-related rumors in Wuhan, China and Israel. We tested a multi-variant model of factors affecting the forwarding of COVID-19 rumors. In an online survey conducted in April–May 2020, users of each country's leading social media platform (WeChat and WhatsApp, respectively) reported on patterns of exposure to and spread of COVID-19 rumors, as well as on their motives for doing so. Despite major differences between the two societies, interesting similarities were found: in both cases, individual drives, shaped by personal needs and degree of negative feelings, were the leading factors behind rumormongering. Exposure to additional sources of information regarding the rumors was also a significant predictor, but only in the Chinese case.
