“… Chang et al (2017) found that persons with higher socialising nature tend to share more on social media. Consistent with this view, Karnowski et al (2018) remarked that individual’s news consumption is now seen as a socially driven act. We, therefore, argue that individuals who are moved by the stronger desire for social interaction are more likely to disclose information as well as share news, including false news.…”

Social media is associated with the rise of new types of celebrities called influencers, who share their current experiences and ideas and often endorse brands. Developing and keeping a large community of followers is one of the most important goals of influencers. The size of their audiences is one of the elements that make them relevant to the advertising industry. The main objective of the present research is to explore the mechanism that determines users’ online behavior related to influencers, such as following them on social media. Moreover, the study examined the role of the perceived information quality and of the perceived trust of the influencers in shaping audiences’ attitudes toward influencers. The moderating role of the frequency of Instagram and YouTube use on the relationship between perceived information quality and trustworthiness was explored by conducting an online survey (N=1088). The main takeaway from the study is that influencers who want to grow their audiences have to create perceived quality content. This can contribute to both positive attitudes and the development of trust. Also, the frequency of Instagram use has a small moderating role, while the frequency of YouTube use has no effects on the trustworthiness of the influencers.

Introducción: Esta investigación analiza la influencia que ejercen las emociones a la hora de decidir si se comparten las noticias sobre el cambio climático en redes sociales. Se estudia la función moderadora de los hábitos mediáticos, las actitudes previas y los usos y gratificaciones en esa decisión. Metodología: Se remitió un cuestionario online a una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de distintas titulaciones y centros de la Comunidad de Madrid. Los datos obtenidos fueron tratados estadísticamente según los modelos de regresión lineal simple y múltiple, de regresión logística simple y múltiple, y de regresión ordinal simple y múltiple. Resultados: El miedo y la rabia influyen en que una noticia relativa al cambio climático se comparta o no. La búsqueda de información, el consumo de noticias y el grado de preocupación previa son factores que moderan esa influencia.
