摘要

本研究的目的是调查2020年9月10个受影响最严重国家的人们与冠状病毒相关的网络搜索模式。作者从谷歌趋势中提取了2020年全年对样本国家的所有搜索，包括“COVID-19”和“冠状病毒”两个词及其变体。由于在搜索冠状病毒相关信息时使用的语言的优先级，结果显示出差异。市民对冠状病毒相关信息的关注程度时间跨度较短(约1个月)。这支持了信息暴露激活模型的假设，即产生负面影响的信息不受用户欢迎。研究结果对政府和卫生当局具有实际意义，例如，在大流行的最初几个月为公民提供信息服务，并继续作为公民首选的信息来源。

Online information seeking during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-country analysis

The aim of this study was to investigate the coronavirus-related web-searching patterns of people from the 10 most affected nations in September 2020. The authors extracted all searches for the sample nations, consisting of the two words ‘COVID-19’ and ‘coronavirus’ and their variations, from Google Trends for the complete year of 2020. The results showed a discrepancy due to the priority of the language used during searches for coronavirus-related information. The time span of the attention level of citizens towards coronavirus-related information was relatively short (about one month). This supports the assumption of the activation model of information exposure that information which generates a negative affect is not welcomed by users. The findings have practical implications for governments and health authorities in, for example, launching information services for citizens in the early months of a pandemic and them remaining as the preferred source of information for citizens.
