In the post-COVID-19 era, Chinese university students have become more reliant on TikTok for health information, which has shaped their health-related behavior. order to investigate how students’ reliance information influenced protective behaviors in response COVID-19, a survey questionnaire was designed measure following four constructs: dependency, seeking, trust, and Protective A total of 426 respondents China participated data analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that who higher dependency tend Study results also found seeking trust partially mediate relationship between behavior separately. To conclude, highlight important role as social media platform Wuhan China.

Complex mechanisms exist between public risk perception, emotions, and coping behaviors during health emergencies. To unravel the relationship these three phenomena, a meta-analytic approach was employed in this study. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0, 81 papers were analyzed after selection. The results of meta-analysis showed that (1) perception (perceived severity, perceived susceptibility) negative emotions (especially fear) are both correlated with behaviors; (2) is strongly fear moderately anxiety; (3) anxiety predicts adoption behaviors. existing research provided an empirical basis for implementing effective behavior interventions implied management decisionmakers need to consider reasonable through multiple channels maintain public’s within appropriate levels. Finally, future directions suggested.

During the COVID-19 pandemic there was a plethora of dynamical forecasting models created, but their ability to effectively describe future trajectories disease mixed. A major challenge in evaluating case trends behavior individuals. When incorporated into models, it primarily exogenously (e.g., fitting cellphone mobility data).

This review aimed qualitatively characterize that included an adaptive (endogenous) behavioral element context transmission. We categorized studies three approaches: 1) feedback loops, 2) game theory/utility theory, and 3) information/opinion spread. Of 92 studies, 72% employed loop, 27% used game/utility 9% if Among all 89% compartmental alone or combination with other types.
