Research on the Impact Mechanism of Information Anxiety on Researchers in AIGC Context
[Purpose/Significance]Aiming to clarify the root of information anxiety among researchers,this study focuses on the AIGC context,elucidates the factors and their mechanisms that lead to information anxiety among re-searchers to provide references for alleviating information anxiety caused by artificial intelligence-generated content.[Method/Process]Using the interpretative phenomenological analysis method,23 in-depth interviews are analyzed to extract the influencing factors of information anxiety among researchers in the context of AIGC.The relationships between factors are interpreted and constructed in the mechanism model by using social cognitive theory.[Result/Conclusion]This study identifies five categories of influencing factors:user psychological factors,information liter-acy factors,information characteristics factors,research environment factors,and AIGC technology factors.Among them,user psychological factors directly affect information anxiety.As internal contextual factors,information literacy factors,together with information characteristics factors,research environment factors and AIGC technology factors,have an indirect effect on information anxiety through influencing user psychological factors.Based on the interaction between five categories of factors and information anxiety,a"cognition-context-behavior"integrated model of infor-mation anxiety among scientific researchers under the AIGC context is constructed.
