Conformity

Conformity

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.

Factors Affecting Illness

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development.

Group Polarization

Group Polarization

Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Social Facilitation

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Background:

COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted global megacities.
Infodemics complicated disease management and public response.
Government microblogs are crucial for information dissemination during crises.

Purpose of the Study:

Examine factors influencing public participation on government microblogs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Understand how megacities can improve epidemic information dissemination and public engagement.
Analyze the regulatory role of confirmed case numbers on participation.

Main Methods:

Empirical analysis of 6,677 epidemic-related microblogs from seven Chinese megacities.
Utilized the elaboration likelihood model (central and peripheral routes).

public participation

Employed qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to identify factor configurations.

Main Results:

Content richness showed a U-shaped impact; interaction, length, and fan count positively influenced participation.
Update frequency negatively impacted participation; publishing time and content semantics mattered.
New confirmed COVID-19 cases positively regulated the influence of content and publisher characteristics.

Conclusions:

Identified key mechanisms of microblog content and publisher characteristics on public participation.
Demonstrated the moderating effect of new confirmed cases on engagement.
Provided insights for optimizing government microblog operations and emergency information release.
