论文摘要
现有的社交媒体平台(SMP)使研究人员难以在社交媒体上进行研究,这反过来又在学术界和行业之间就平台设计对用户行为的影响造成了知识差距。为了缩小差距,我们介绍了YourFeed,这是一种用于进行生态有效社交媒体研究的研究工具。我们介绍了平台体系结构,以及关键机会,例如评估内容暴露对下游信念和态度的影响,通过停留时间来衡量注意力暴露,并评估异质新闻源算法。我们讨论了社交媒体和平台未来发展的互操作性的潜在理念。
Existing social media platforms (SMPs) make it incredibly difficult for researchers to conduct studies on social media, which in turn has created a knowledge gap between academia and industry about the effects of platform design on user behavior. To close the gap, we introduce Yourfeed, a research tool for conducting ecologically valid social media research. We introduce the platform architecture, as well key opportunities such as assessing the effects of exposure of content on downstream beliefs and attitudes, measuring attentional exposure via dwell time, and evaluating heterogeneous newsfeed algorithms. We discuss the underlying philosophy of interoperability for social media and future developments for the platform.
