Internet use and livelihood risk perception: exploring the dynamic relationship and moderating factors between information dissemination and individual perception
This study explores the relationship between the Internet and public livelihood risk perception, as well as its dynamic changes, and to analyze how to effectively manage and mitigate the risks arising in the digital age. This extension not only enriches the theory system about the social amplification of risk, but also provides theory guidance for effective risk management. What's more, this study reveals the weakening amplification effect of Internet on livelihood risk perception and fills the gap in most literature that only focuses on the negative result of the absolute amplification effect of Internet on social risks.
