“…It is very challenging to effectively intervene in information-information coevolution propagation dynamics on complex networks by combining the characteristics of network structure and propagation dynamics themselves [16]. Literature [17] proposed an index to quantitatively describe the influence of potential connections of the network in promoting information-information coevolution propagation, aiming at the symmetrical propagation of two types of information in the coevolution system. Literature [18] proposed an information-information coevolution propagation intervention strategy based on optimal latent connections.…”

In order to improve the identification effect of a crisis propagation mode, this paper studies the crisis propagation mode of social networks and uses an intelligent method to identify the crisis propagation mode. Moreover, this paper analyzes and deduces the features of the modulated signal from the two aspects of spectrum and autocorrelation functions and extracts and simulates the features of signals of different modulation types. In addition, this paper verifies the proposed recognition method from two aspects through theoretical experiments and measured data and builds an intelligent model. Through the experimental research, it can be seen that the identification effect and the control effect of the crisis propagation model based on the social network proposed in this paper are relatively obvious.

“…Most of the studies in this category look into Twitter and employ quantitative analysis of large datasets (Panda et al, 2020; Rodak, 2020; Walsh and Baker, 2021). Concerning populism and disinformation (seven articles), the searchability affordance of social media was found to be an effective tool to counter the spread of fake narratives as it can facilitate the self-correction of the users (Apuke and Omar, 2021; Eismann, 2021; Islam et al, 2020).…”

An increasingly influential strand of research on social media relies on the concept of affordances to account for effects. However, hindering the possibility of a unified theory of affordances in social media is the conceptual blurring surrounding the concept. This article engages in a comprehensive review of the affordances literature in social media, aiming to provide an overview of the current state of the art and clarify the use of the concept. Through a systematic literature review, the characteristics of affordances research in social media are uncovered: the most prominent areas of application, research approaches, and dominant typologies and conceptualisations. Significant blurriness of the term ‘affordance’ is identified as well as an inconsistent use in research. To tackle these problems, a unified definition of affordances in social media is proposed based on the synthesis of knowledge on affordances in technology and social media. The suggested definition captures the core aspects of the concept to reduce ambiguity in the use of the concept and further the research on affordances of social media. The article provides the groundwork for future use of affordances theory in social media research.

“… 68 Several studies thus far have linked misinformation and rumors with media messaging. 69 Rumors related to COVID-19 on social media enhanced panic and fear among the public and fueled panic buying of products, which negatively affected the supply chain and increased food insecurity among the public. 70 In other words, rumors can be a catalyst for panic buying behavior.…”

The novel corona virus pandemic has influenced people buying behaviors. Due to the significant psychological and behavioral impact of COVID-19 on society, this study aimed to examine the determinants of panic buying behavior and a resultant psychological outcome in the form of a sense of security. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 caller ringback tone (CRT) experiences, that is, informational and stimulation experience, on the panic buying behavior and how rumors moderate this relationship. This research is quantitative and uses a purposive sampling method to collect the survey-based data from 264 respondents. The researchers analyzed the data using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of data analysis indicated that the informational and stimulation experience of COVID-19 CRT had a significant influence on panic buying behavior which further resulted in a sense of security in public. This study could not find evidence of the moderating role of rumors in the relationship between COVID-19 CRT experiences and panic buying behavior. The findings highlight the role of the COVID-19 CRT in causing panic buying behavior and resultant psychological outcome and thus provide implications for policymakers on the control of panic buying under COVID-19.
