COVID-19 pandemic is a significant threat toward the public health. However, the discussion of the mechanism of media literacy's effect in fighting against pandemic is limited. Thus, this study aims to explore the mechanism with a sociocognitive perspective.
A survey was administrated to 420 college students in China. PROCESS macro of SPSS was applied to analyze the data and test the moderated mediation effect.
The moderated mediation model of media literacy, proxy efficacy, self-efficacy, and official media use was tested and supported. Official media use was a negative moderator on the association between media literacy and proxy efficacy.
The study explored the media literacy's role as a determinant of proxy efficacy and self-efficacy, which contributed to the sociocognitive theory.
新冠疫情对公众健康构成重大威胁。然而，关于媒介素养在抗击疫情中发挥作用的机制的讨论有限。因此，本研究旨在从社会认知视角探索该机制。
对中国420名大学生进行了一项调查。运用SPSS的PROCESS宏程序分析数据并检验调节中介效应。
检验并支持了媒介素养、替代效能感、自我效能感和官方媒体使用的调节中介模型。官方媒体使用在媒介素养与替代效能感之间的关联中起负向调节作用。
本研究探讨了媒介素养作为替代效能感和自我效能感决定因素的作用，这对社会认知理论有一定贡献。
