摘要

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，对公共卫生官员关于戴口罩作为减缓病毒传播手段的建议，人们的反应各不相同。本研究通过使用Twitter数据，旨在探讨在美国和韩国这两个截然不同的背景下，数字技术在促进公众对话和形成公众对口罩的看法方面的作用。从2020年1月1日到2020年4月14日，美国共有22928名用户发布了27501条有关口罩的推文，韩国有17267名用户发布了18686条。语义网络分析的结果揭示了美国人最初拒绝戴口罩的原因，以及韩国人愿意戴口罩的原因。本文对所得结果作了进一步的讨论。通过实时数据汇总，本研究深入了解了COVID-19期间关于戴口罩的争议，同时为卫生官员设计战略沟通信息提供了启示。

Infodemiological Study on the Use of Face Masks during Covid-19: Comparing U.S. and Korea

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been varied responses to public health officials' recommendations about wearing face masks as a means to slow the spread of the virus. This study, by using Twitter data, aims to explore the role of digital technology in facilitating public conversations and formulating public perception regarding face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in two contrasting contexts: the U.S. and South Korea. From January 1, 2020 to April 14, 2020, a total of 22,928 users generated 27,501 tweets regarding face masks in the U.S. network, whereas 17,267 users produced 18,686 tweets in that of South Korea. The results of the semantic network analysis shed light on Americans' initial resistance to wearing masks as well as Koreans' willingness to comply. Details of the results are discussed further in the paper. With real-time data aggregation, this study gives insight into the rising controversy regarding wearing face masks during COVID-19 while providing implications for health officials designing strategic communication messages.
