摘要

这项研究调查了推特网络上讨论在2020年东京奥运会上接纳首位出柜的变性女奥运选手劳雷尔·哈伯德(Laurel Hubbard)。通过分析Twitter的反应、意见领袖和网络的模块化,本研究发现(a)大多数最受欢迎的10条推文和最具影响力的社会行动者对劳雷尔·哈伯德参与女性类别持否定态度;(b)与传统新闻机构相比,社交媒体网红和新成立的数字媒体机构在促进该网络中的信息流动方面发挥了更重要的作用;(c)观察到的Twitter网络是高度聚集的,这表明个人倾向于更频繁地与他们分离的子群体内的人互动,而信息在集群间的扩散则受到更多限制。本研究通过实证研究奥运史上第一位跨性别女运动员劳雷尔·哈伯德(Laurel Hubbard)的Twitter网络,有助于了解Twitter用户如何看待跨性别运动员参加国际体育赛事。

Competing as the First Out Transgender Female Olympian: A Twitter Network Analysis of Laurel Hubbard During the 2020 Tokyo Games
This study examines the Twitter network discussing the inclusion of Laurel Hubbard, the first out trans woman Olympian, during the 2020 Tokyo Games. By analyzing the Twitter reactions, top opinion leaders, and the modularity of the network, this study uncovers that (a) the majority of the top 10 most-liked tweets and the top influential social actors hold a negative attitude toward Laurel Hubbard’s participation in the women’s category; (b) compared to traditional news agencies, social media influencers and newly launched digital media agencies play a more important role in facilitating the flow of information in this network; and (c) the observed Twitter network is highly clustered, indicating that individuals tend to interact with people more frequently within their segregated subgroup, whereas information diffusion across clusters is more restricted. This research contributes to the understanding of how Twitter users perceive the inclusion of trans athletes at international sporting events by empirically exploring the Twitter network of Laurel Hubbard, the first out trans female athlete in Olympic history.
