“…Thus, the choice that community designers make on whether to allow off-topic discussion can influence who joins the community and who stays [43]. For people with a high level of social isolation, online communities provide them a channel for anonymous communication, which facilitates self-disclosure and self-presentation [25]. In a health-related context, patient's relationships with others in the real world can become strained [44].…”

“…A wide range of topics can be discussed in online community, thereby enabling members to expand their social network through interactions [32]. In OHCs, both specific and general knowledge are generated because OHCs are a channel for patients to discuss health and other social or emotional topics, especially for patients who perceive high levels of social isolation [7,25]. In other words, the OHC also serves as social media network for patients to exchange various knowledge and social support.…”

“…However, in terms of health-related topics, users with high-level social exclusion are more encouraged by a community's support to share their health situation and treatment experience, which they may not be willing to discuss in the real world due to the fear of being isolated or abandoned. The online platform provides users with a convenient channel and anonymous communication, which facilitate self-disclosure and self-presentation [25]. Thus, a supportive community climate has a stronger positive effect on users' participation in health-related topic interactions than in general topic interactions.…”

“…Thus, in this study, interpersonal interactions are also sorted into two categories, namely, health-related topic interactions and general topic interactions. Personality traits and identity of patients may result in social interaction anxiety in the real world, which in turn makes individuals perceive higher social exclusion [19,25]. Community support may exert a more significant effect on encouraging this group to interact actively with others in OHCs.…”

Online health communities (OHCs) face the same problem as other social media platforms in terms of decreasing activity and user attrition. Drawing upon organizational support theory, this study explores how perceived community support affects user interactions and value co-creation which in turn influence their continuous participation. OHCs act as both health knowledge-sharing platforms and important social media for patients, and thus, interpersonal interactions in OHCs are categorized into health-related and general topic interactions. Considering the identity of patients, this study also examines the moderating effect of user-perceived social exclusion on the relationship between community support and user interaction. A total of 292 valid samples from a diabetic patient community in China were used to examine the proposed hypotheses through structural equation modeling. The results show that: (1) Community support has a positive effect on health topic and general topic interactions; (2) both types of interactions have significant positive effects on users’ perceived functional and social values, while general topic interaction is also related positively to users’ perceived affective value; (3) perceived functional value can result directly in continuous participation, while perceived social value contributes indirectly to continuous participation intention through perceived affective value; and (4) users perceived higher social exclusion are more influenced by community support to participate in health topic interactions than those who perceived lower social exclusion, while no significant difference in general topic interactions between two groups. The results of this study can provide implications for both researchers and practitioners.

“…The short video lasts for a short time, which can be tens of seconds or 3 to 5 minutes. Based on mobile intelligent terminals or professional devices, individual users or professional teams can quickly shoot, edit and upload them to social media platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo and WeChat (Zhang, Wu, & Liu, 2019). The content of the short video is rich and with a wide range of themes, which can be played free of charge by users and shared with one click.…”

This paper aims to extend the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model to social media context in China and validate the positive influence between short video, destination image, perceived interactivity, and short video application users’ visit intention. Data were collected through an online survey, a PLS-SEM analysis was used. The results (n=236) show that video quality significantly affects both the cognitive and affective image of the video destination, and the perceived interactivity significantly influences their behavioral intention. This study makes up for the deficiency of the theoretical research of social media and helps tourism departments to develop appropriate promotion strategies to destinations.

The means‐end chains theory was used in this study to explore the attributes most valued by TikTok users and to examine the resulting psychological values generated. Laddering interviews were used for content analysis and “online video sharing platform attributes—user consequences—personal values” psychological cognitive structures, from a perspective of the user were constructed using the structural implication matrix and hierarchical value map. A total of 34 elements were identified from the results of the study. The categorization of attribute elements was also expanded to include motivation for social media communication and interaction, which have not been previously explored. The results showed that diverse video genre, interesting video content, easy‐to‐use interface, visual effects application, and community sharing and recommendation are key platform attributes valued by users. The facilitating observational learning, promoting the joy of life, raising convenience, having fun with friends, relieving emotional stress, and other user consequences were generated by platform attributes. And lastly, personal values such as a sense of accomplishment, fun and enjoyment of life, warm relationships with others, and sense of belonging were gained. In addition, the study also finds that there are differences in the psychological cognitive structures between genders and that the correlations and influences among the elements have different degrees of significance. These findings can give marketers and policymakers a better understanding of the behavior of TikTok users and help them develop better strategies for marketing and promotion of the platform.
