Media use, specifically authoritative “we-media,” is, personal accounts platforms operated individuals, was set independent Trust government, representing motivation, perception, were included mediating variables. A structural equation model constructed analyzed using Stata. Results First, mediation effect trust government indicates can enhance significantly increases individuals’ (β coefficient=0.108, 95% CI 0.080-0.135; P<.001). Second, perception shows we-media heightened individual thereby enhancing coefficient=0.012, 0.002-0.021; P=.02). Third, revealed “paradox trust”: chain increased reduced ultimately decreasing coefficient=–0.005, –0.009 –0.001; P=.008). Conclusions By combining communication, found operates media, while promotes we-media. In addition, major crises, lead paradox trust: one hand, compliance; other reduces behavior.
