摘要

背景:虽然新生成人在COVID-19的传播中发挥了作用,但他们在感染后出现严重症状的可能性较小。新兴成年人相对较高地使用社交媒体作为信息来源,这引起了人们对该年龄组与covid -19相关的行为合规性(即保持身体距离)的担忧。目的:本研究旨在调查新兴成人与成人之间的身体距离,并研究使用社交媒体获取COVID-19新闻和信息在这方面的作用。此外,本研究还探讨了身体距离与使用不同社交媒体平台和来源之间的关系。方法:采用2020年4月- 11月全国大规模纵向调查(N= 123848)的二次资料。参与者表示,在7分李克特量表中,他们成功保持1.5米距离的频率从1到8波不等。年龄在18 - 24岁之间的参与者被认为是新兴成年人,年龄>24岁的被认为是成年人。此外,还创建了一个虚拟变量来表示每波参与者是否使用社交媒体获取COVID-19新闻和信息。一部分参与者接受了后续问题,以确定他们使用的平台以及他们在社交媒体上看到的新闻和信息来源。所有预登记的假设都用线性混合效应模型和随机截距交叉滞后面板模型进行检验。结果:初出期成人报告的身体距离行为少于成人(β=-)。08年,t86,213.83 = -26.79;ppv结论:总之,我们应该对新生成人保持身体距离保持警惕,但研究结果并未表明对社交媒体在COVID-19新闻和信息中的作用的担忧。然而,由于一些社交媒体平台和来源的使用显示出与身体距离的负相关,未来的研究应该更仔细地检查这些因素,以更好地了解社交媒体使用新闻和信息与危机时期行为干预之间的关系。

Physical Distancing and Social Media Use in Emerging Adults and Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Large-scale Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Survey Study.

Background: Although emerging adults play a role in the spread of COVID-19, they are less likely to develop severe symptoms after infection. Emerging adults' relatively high use of social media as a source of information raises concerns regarding COVID-19-related behavioral compliance (ie, physical distancing) in this age group.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate physical distancing among emerging adults in comparison with adults and examine the role of using social media for COVID-19 news and information in this regard. In addition, this study explored the relationship between physical distancing and using different social media platforms and sources.

Methods: The secondary data of a large-scale longitudinal national survey (N=123,848) between April and November 2020 were used. Participants indicated, ranging from 1 to 8 waves, how often they were successful in keeping a 1.5-m distance on a 7-point Likert scale. Participants aged between 18 and 24 years were considered emerging adults, and those aged >24 years were considered adults. In addition, a dummy variable was created to indicate per wave whether participants used social media for COVID-19 news and information. A subset of participants received follow-up questions to determine which platforms they used and what sources of news and information they had seen on social media. All preregistered hypotheses were tested with linear mixed-effects models and random intercept cross-lagged panel models.

Results: Emerging adults reported fewer physical distancing behaviors than adults (β=-.08, t86,213.83=-26.79; P<.001). Moreover, emerging adults were more likely to use social media for COVID-19 news and information (b=2.48; odds ratio 11.93 [95% CI=9.72-14.65]; SE 0.11; Wald=23.66; P<.001), which mediated the association with physical distancing but only to a small extent (indirect effect: b=-0.03, 95% CI -0.04 to -0.02). Contrary to our hypothesis, the longitudinal random intercept cross-lagged panel model showed no evidence that physical distancing was not influenced by social media use in the previous wave. However, evidence indicated that social media use affects subsequent physical distancing behavior. Moreover, additional analyses showed that the use of most social media platforms (ie, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram) and interpersonal communication were negatively associated with physical distancing, whereas other platforms (ie, LinkedIn and Twitter) and government messages had no or small positive associations with physical distancing.

Conclusions: In conclusion, we should be vigilant with regard to the physical distancing of emerging adults, but the study results did not indicate concerns regarding the role of social media for COVID-19 news and information. However, as the use of some social media platforms and sources showed negative associations with physical distancing, future studies should more carefully examine these factors to better understand the associations between social media use for news and information and behavioral interventions in times of crisis.
