Analysis of Public Emotion and Disseminator-Audience Framework during Outbreak of Public Crisis Events: A case study of Microblog Account Xiake Island

This study crawled the cross-sectional data of the contents and comments from Microblog Account Xiake Island during the outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia as subjects, to examine the deviation and resonance association among affective fluctuations of the Chinese public, media framework, and audiences' cognitive framework. Using SnowNLP to conduct sentiment analysis of text comments, we found that during the outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia, the public spent most of the time in low-intensity negative affectivity, and the average affective propensity in response to individual microblog fluctuated greatly, and the public was easily caught in an emotional frenzy, which reduces the level of trust in government. Through a comparison of public affectivity and related epidemic data, Xiake Island focuses on reporting emotional facts, whose construction of social reality contains obvious emotional trajectories. Clustering analysis of thematic framework by LDA algorithm reveals that in terms of framework, the framework Xiake Island uses resonates to a large degree with the framework users focus on. In terms of the level of concerns over the framework, Xiake Island deviates to a certain extent from the public. This deviation, together with the strategy of focusing on reporting emotional facts, is a discursive strategy adopted by the new mainstream media to seek the reconstruction of cultural leadership. © 2022 Owner/Author.

Examining Predictors and Outcomes of Decent Work among Korean Workers.

The goal of the present study is to examine the psychology of working framework/theory with a sample of Korean workers. This study examined the structural model of sociocultural factors (i.e., economic constraints and social marginalization), psychological variables (i.e., work volition and career adaptability), and outcomes of decent work based on the psychology of working framework. This study assumed that decent work helps all workers attain a sense of self-respect, dignity, experience freedom and security in the work environment and provides an opportunity for workers to contribute to society. Data were collected from 420 Korean workers, with an average age of 39.13 years (SD = 9.26). We used a hypothesis model that did not assume a direct path from economic constraints and social marginalization to decent work and work volition and career adaptation to job satisfaction and life satisfaction. We also employed an alternative model that assumed all of its paths and compared the models' goodness of fit based on prior studies. Results indicated that alternative models have higher goodness of fit than hypothesis models. All path coefficients were significant except for the direct path from social marginalization to work volition and career adaptability to life satisfaction. Additionally, work volition and career adaptability mediated both the relationship between social marginalization and job satisfaction and between marginalization and life satisfaction. This study enabled the comprehensive examination of the relevance of various social environments and psychological and occupational characteristics that should be considered when exploring job or life satisfaction in the process of career counseling.
