摘要/Abstract

摘要： 以老年群体为研究对象,考察情绪唤醒度对健康谣言转发意愿的影响,并检验该效应是否受到老年人自身电子健康素养水平的调节。预研究以24名老年人为对象得到正式研究的实验材料。正式研究招募69名老年人,进行两个阶段的实验:阶段一采用实验设计(电子健康素养: 高 vs. 低; 文章类别: 谣言高唤醒vs. 谣言低唤醒vs. 正确信息);阶段二为干预实验(1名被试中途退出; 干预靶点: 情绪唤醒度)。结果表明:(1)情绪唤醒度越高,健康谣言转发意愿越强烈;(2)对情绪唤醒的自我预警,能有效降低老年人的健康谣言转发意愿;(3)情绪唤醒度的效应具有跨高、低电子健康素养老年群体的一致性,即电子健康素养对情绪唤醒度效应的调节作用不显著。研究结果在社交网络高度发达及老年网民数量剧增的时代,对预防老年人掉入健康谣言陷阱具有重要启示。

Abstract: This study focused on older adults, who are considered “digital immigrants”, to examine the influence of emotional arousal on the intention to forward health rumors and further the moderating effect of eHealth literacy on the relationship. The research consisted of a pilot study and a formal study. The pilot study recruited 24 older adults (12 males; mean age: 65.50±4.63 years old) and aimed to design and produce experimental materials (e.g., health rumors) for the formal study. The formal study recruited 69 older adults (22 males; mean age: 65.26±3.81 years old) for a two-stage experiment involving factor design (eHealth literacy: low vs. high; emotional arousal: low vs. high vs. control) and intervention experiments (losing one older adult, i.e., 68 participants; intervention technique: self-alerting to emotional arousal). The results showed that: (1) Emotional arousal increased the intention of older adults to forward health rumors; (2) By self-alerting to emotional arousal, the intention of older adults to forward health rumors could be effectively reduced; (3) There was no moderating effect of eHealth literacy on the relationship between emotional arousal and intention to forward health rumors, indicating that the effect of emotional arousal was consistent across high and low eHealth literacy groups of older adults. In conclusion, emotional arousal had positive influence on intention to forward health rumors, regardless of older adults’ levels of eHealth literacy.

Key words: older adults, intention to forward health rumors, eHealth literacy, emotional arousal, self-alerting
