肆虐全球之新冠狀肺炎與深化之仇中情結：擴展第三人效應理論之基礎和範疇

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Heightened Hostility Toward China: Expanding The Theoretical Underpinning and Scope Of The Third-Person Perception

此研究調查在新冠狀肺炎肆虐情境下，可能發生的第三人效應現象。研究納入與檢驗過往被視為理所當然的信息透明性；社會距離、新聞接收和新聞關注等概念亦納入分析模型中。此外，本論文亦是將第三人效應操作為調節變因的少數研究之一；本研究的意義、貢獻和侷限皆於文中深入論述。

This timely study examined the widely documented third-person perception in the context of the raging COVID-19 pandemic. It included a new variable, information transparency, normatively treated as a given in past research. Constructs of news exposure and news attentiveness were included for testing. Additionally, this study is among the first in media effects literature to treat TPP as a moderation variable. The implications, contributions, and limitations of this study are discussed in detail.
