摘要

在本文中，我们研究了新闻媒体使用与COVID-19相关的心理距离水平之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，保守的媒体使用与更大的感知距离有关，而较少的党派新闻使用与更小的感知距离有关。此外，感知距离与感知到的COVID-19严重程度、感知到的与该疾病相关的易感性以及接种COVID-19疫苗/增强疫苗的意愿相关。整体而言，我们考察了媒介使用预测距离，距离预测严重性和易感性，距离、严重性和易感性预测行为意图的中介过程。

Going the Distance for COVID-19: Relationships Among News Use, Psychological Distance, Risk Perceptions, and Behavioral Intentions

In this article, we examine the relationship between news media use and levels of psychological distance associated with COVID-19. Our findings suggest that conservative media use is associated with greater perceived distance to the disease, while less partisan news use is associated with a smaller perceived distance. Moreover, perceived distance is associated with perceived severity of COVID-19, the perceived susceptibility associated with the disease, and intentions to get vaccinated/boosted against COVID-19. As a whole, we examined a mediation process through which media use predicts distance, distance then predicts severity and susceptibility, and distance, severity, and susceptibility predict behavioral intentions.
