摘　　要：网民的新闻参与行为(包括点赞、转发和评论)是引发互联网舆论的重要成因。在互联网的交往环境中,用户的新闻阅读与新闻参与之间的联系愈发紧密,不同的新闻框架会作用于个体的心理机制,引导其基于新闻事件产生的情绪与责任归因,进而促发新闻参与意愿和行为。以乡村住校青少年为研究对象,从传播心理学视角出发,考察不同新闻框架对青少年新闻参与意愿的影响,以及恐惧情绪和责任归因在新闻参与过程中的中介作用。研究采用大规模群体实验法,所有参与者被随机分为两个不同的实验组,分别阅读两则由研究者设计的以“高责任”与“中立”两种不同新闻框架写作的关于校园霸凌概况的新闻报道,随后让参与者安静地一次性作答问卷量表。研究发现:在校园霸凌事件中,强调个体责任的“高责任框架”与不突出明确责任归属的“中立框架”对青少年新闻参与意愿的影响存在差异。“高责任框架”对用户参与意愿没有直接的预测作用,但通过三条路径的间接作用——恐惧情绪的中介作用、责任归因的负向中介作用以及恐惧情绪和责任归因的链式中介作用——影响乡村青少年的新闻参与意愿。研究证实新闻框架对恐惧情绪的唤起能促成一种“强框架效应”:“高责任框架”强调作为霸凌者的学生的个体责任与主观意愿不良,通过对单方面属性的强化描述,放大了乡村青少年心中的“威胁感知”与恐惧情绪;恐惧情绪的唤起会让个体产生灾难性的认知偏向,激发个体自我保护与问题解决的动机,从而激发用户的新闻参与意愿(包括线上和线下)。研究进一步揭示恐惧情绪在特定社会舆论生成与演化中的重要作用。The news engagement behaviors of internet users,including liking,sharing and commenting,are significant contributors to the formation of public opinion online.In the communicative environment of the internet,the connection between users’news reading and news engagement has become increasingly close.Different news frames impact individuals’psychological mechanisms,guiding their emotional responses and responsibility attributions based on news events,thereby influencing their news engagement intentions and behaviors.This study focuses on rural boarding school adolescents,examining the influence of different news frames on their news engagement intentions from a communication psychology perspective.Furthermore,it investigates the mediating roles of fear and responsibility attribution in the process of news participation.A large-scale group experiment was employed,with all participants randomly divided into two experimental groups.Each group read one of two news articles on school bullying,crafted by researchers using either a high-responsibility or an ambivalent frame.Participants then quietly completed a questionnaire.The results revealed that in cases of school bullying,the high-responsibility frame,which emphasizes individual responsibility,and the ambivalent frame,which does not highlight clear responsibility attribution,have different effects on adolescents’engagement intentions.The high-responsibility frame does not directly predict users’engagement intentions but influences rural adolescents’news engagement intentions through three indirect pathways:the mediating role of fear,the negative mediating role of responsibility attribution,and the chain mediating role involving both fear and responsibility attribution.This study confirms that the news frame’s ability to elicit fear can result in a“strong frame effect.”The high-responsibility frame emphasizes the individual responsibility and negative intentions of the perpetrator in bullying incidents,amplifies the perceived threat and fear among rur
