摘要

当前,娱乐化的表达方式正逐渐占据公共领域,通过娱乐手段提升传播效果似乎已成为共识,但娱乐是否一定能促进传播效果尚需进一步的研究。本研究以防诈骗短视频作为研究语境,以详尽可能性模型和一致性理论作为理论基础,通过对抖音上467个防诈骗短视频的内容分析,探究议题和媒介属性如何调节娱乐化对点赞量这一传播效果指标的影响。结果显示,防范教育和揭秘骗术信息抑制了娱乐化对点赞量的促进作用,但案件描述和财产损失信息强化了娱乐化对点赞量的提升效果。自媒体使用娱乐手段能显著提升点赞量,且这一效果不受任何类型信息的影响,但官媒的点赞量不受娱乐化影响。本研究不仅为使用娱乐手段进行公共传播提供了策略,还解释了娱乐化对传播效果的影响边界,对泛娱乐化背景下受众和媒体间的关系提出了新的解释。

Abstract

Currently, entertainment-oriented expressions are gradually occupying the public sphere, and it seems to have become a consensus that communication effects can be enhanced by means of entertainment. However, further research is needed to examine whether entertainment will necessarily enhance communication effects. Built on the elaboration likelihood model and consistency theory, this study explores how topics and media attributes moderate the influence of entertainment on the number of likes, an important indicator of the communication effect, by content analyzing 467 anti-fraud short videos on Douyin. The results show that preventive education and unveiling scam information inhibited the positive effect of entertainment on the number of likes, but case description and property loss information strengthened the positive effect of entertainment on the number of likes. The use of entertainment in self-media significantly boosted the number of likes, and this effect was not affected by any type of information. However, the number of likes received by official media was not affected by entertainment. This study not only provides strategies on how to use entertainment techniques for public communication, but also reveals the boundaries of the effect of entertainment on communication effects, shedding new insights on the relationship between audiences and media in this era of pan-entertainment.

This article examines online recruitment via Facebook, Mechanical Turk (MTurk), and Qualtrics panels in India and the United States. It compares over 7300 respondents—1000 or more from each source and country—to nationally representative benchmarks in terms of demographics, political attitudes and knowledge, cooperation, and experimental replication. In the United States, MTurk offers the cheapest and fastest recruitment, Qualtrics is most demographically and politically representative, and Facebook facilitates targeted sampling. The India samples look much less like the population, though Facebook offers broad geographical coverage. We find online convenience samples often provide valid inferences into how partisanship moderates treatment effects. Yet they are typically unrepresentative on such political variables, which has implications for the external validity of sample average treatment effects.

In this article, key concepts and propositions of expectancy violations theory are explicated and then applied to emotional communication. It is proposed that emotional experience and expression can profitably be understood according to what experiences and expressions are expected in interpersonal relationships, the extent to which enacted expressions deviate positively or negatively from expectancies, the degree to which other types of expectancy violations engender emotional expressions, and the effects of deviating from entrenched patterns of emotional expression.

The study extends the current literature by examining self-congruity and its relationship with possible psychological determinants of travelers’ satisfaction and revisit intention. A quantitative study approach was administered on data collected from travelers to the Bektashi faith destinations in Turkey. Through 357 valid questionnaires, the study confirms that both actual and ideal self-congruity do not directly affect overall satisfaction and revisit intention. Memorable tourism experience fully mediates the relationship of actual and ideal self-congruity with overall satisfaction and revisit intention. However, only actual self-congruity directly affects destination attachment. Memorable tourism experience partially and fully mediates the relationships of actual and ideal self-congruity with destination attachment, respectively. Lastly, destination attachment moderates the relationships of actual self-congruity with overall satisfaction and revisit intention. This study also offers several practical implications for responsible authorities in faith destinations.

The “ like” feature is popularly utilized by online social media users for different reasons including socializing, giving feedback and giving or seeking attention as well as for pure affection. The “ like” function is a gamified element of social networking sites used billions of times per day. Despite its widespread use in the social media space, little is known about the different factors that influence Facebook users’ “ like” continuation intention or the game mechanics of “ like.” To address this relevant issue, a cross-sectional survey was administered with 728 adolescent Facebook users (12–18 years old). This study utilized the theory of planned behavior to investigate the role of attitude (hedonic motivation, reciprocal benefit, and social presence), subjective norms (primary influence and secondary influence), and perceived behavioral control (self-efficacy and habit) in influencing the continuation intention of “ like” as well as the influence of self-efficacy and habit on the game mechanics of “ like.” This investigation addresses the urgent need to understand better the postadoption issues as well as the intentions to use specific features of social media. The results suggest that social presence, primary and secondary influence, self-efficacy, and habit significantly predicted Facebook “ like” continuation intention. Furthermore, self-efficacy and habit significantly predicted the game mechanics of “ like.” Different theoretical and practical implications of the study are presented and discussed in light of prior information systems literature.

Black and White male and female high-school students reported their enjoyment of various love-lamenting and love-celebrating videos of popular romantic music. The student groups were subdivided into high versus low loneliness in terms of romantic deprivation. Loneliness proved inconsequential for the enjoyment of love-lamenting songs. Love-celebrating songs, however, were markedly less enjoyed by highly lonely males than by less lonely males; in contrast, these love-celebrating songs were more enjoyed by highly lonely females than by less lonely females. Reports of music choices in hypothetical situations of romantic success and failure yielded strikingly differed results. Most students indicated that they would make mood-congruent choices; that is, that they would match the music's mood to their own.

This study examined the effects of differently valenced portrayals of old age on the emotional responses of elderly viewers. Lonely and nonlonely elderly people (as determined in a pretest) were given a series of descriptions of television offerings and indicated the degree to which they desired to see each program. In a separate session, they were randomly assigned to view a negative portrayal (involving an unhappy, isolated old man) or a positive portrayal (involving a happy, socially integrated old man). The results indicated that lonely subjects showed greater interest in viewing negative than positive portrayals, whereas nonlonely subjects exhibited the opposite preference. In addition, lonely subjects felt better after viewing the negative portrayal than after the positive portrayal, whereas nonlonely subjects felt better after the positive than after the negative portrayal. The findings therefore indicated that elderly viewers may benefit from varied portrayals of old age more than from uniformly positive or negative depictions.

The purpose of this study is to explain viewers’ entertainment and feelings of being informed when watching political talk shows on German TV, depending on their viewing motivations. First, an exploratory survey (N = 189) aims to identify the motivation. Results show that some participants had a strong interest in gaining political information by following such shows, while others simply watch them for entertainment purposes. Drawing on the concept of infotainment as well as on the elaboration likelihood model as a basis for entertainment and the feeling of being informed, four hypotheses are then tested in a 2 × 2 (focus on entertaining features versus focus on information × talk show containing a video clip versus talk show containing no video clip) experiment with 63 subjects. The results suggest that people felt better informed and were more entertained through political talk shows when watching them with a focus on entertaining features rather than with a focus on information. However, whether a talk show contained a video clip or not did not make any difference. The fact that a focus on entertaining features can induce a feeling of being informed reveals an interesting phenomenon, which is consistent with current developments in entertainment theory.

Understanding the effectiveness of the entertainment-education strategy: An investigation of how audience involvement, message processing, and message design influence health information recall. Journal of Health Communication, 18(2), 160-178.
A growing body of evidence suggests that entertainment-education (EE) is a promising health communication strategy. The purpose of this study was to identify some of the factors that facilitate and hinder audience involvement with EE messages. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the authors introduce a construct they call experiential involvement, which describes the experience of being cognitively and emotionally involved with EE messages and is a product of transportation into an EE text and identification with EE characters. Using an experimental design, the authors also investigated how reports of experiential involvement and health information recall varied depending on the degree to which the educational content was well integrated with the narrative content in EE messages. Findings indicated that integration significantly influenced health information recall. Results indicated that experiential involvement and the perception that the health topic in EE messages was personally relevant predicted participants' systematic processing of the information in EE messages. Contrary to expectation, personal relevance did not predict experiential involvement, and systematic message processing was negatively related to health information recall. Implications for the construction of EE messages and the study of the EE strategy are discussed.

This article presents a model of enjoyment rooted in self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) that includes the satisfaction of three needs related to psychological wellbeing: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In an experiment designed to validate this conceptualization of enjoyment, we manipulate video game characteristics related to the satisfaction of these needs and examine their relative effects on enjoyment. The validated model explains 51% of the variance in enjoyment, even without including needs usually studied in relation to enjoyment such as pleasure seeking. Results indicate the utility of defining enjoyment as need satisfaction. These results are discussed in terms of a broader conceptualization of enjoyment represented as the satisfaction of a comprehensive set of functional needs.
