从众效应与心理困扰对心理健康类错误信息认同与分享的影响：多重中介模型
The Impact of Bandwagon Effect and Psychological Distress on Mental Health Misinformation Belief and Sharing: A Multiple Mediation Model
摘要: 为探究从众效应与心理健康状况对网络心理健康类错误信息认同度与分享意愿的影响及其作用机制，采用问卷调查法，以316名大学生为样本，测量其对心理健康类错误信息的认同度、分享意愿、从众效应、心理困扰程度、感知相关性、信息接触频率及分享动机。结果发现，从众效应是预测错误信息认同与分享的核心变量，通过提升感知相关性、增加接触频率、激活打发时间/社交动机三条并行路径间接发挥作用；心理困扰通过增强从众倾向形成的链式中介路径。
Abstract: To investigate the influence of bandwagon effect and mental health status on the belief in and sharing intention of online mental health misinformation, as well as the underlying mechanisms, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 316 college students. Participants were measured on their belief in mental health misinformation, sharing intention, bandwagon effect, psychological distress, perceived relevance, exposure frequency to misinformation, and sharing motivation. The results revealed that the bandwagon effect was a core predictor of misinformation belief and sharing. It exerted its influence indirectly through three parallel pathways: enhancing perceived relevance, increasing exposure frequency (triggering the illusory truth effect), and activating pass time and socialization motives. Furthermore, psychological distress indirectly influenced misinformation belief and sharing by strengthening the bandwagon tendency, forming a chain mediation path.
