Abstract

During the epidemic, people spent more hours using social media due to home quarantine and government-related epidemic prevention measures, so people’s various behaviors on Internet platforms changed dramatically. The authors used a questionnaire method to study the behavioural changes, usage motivations and content preferences of college students as the target group. This study is innovative and meaningful in studying the behavioural changes of Chinese college students on Weibo and analysing their influencing factors in the context of Covid-19. And this study has some reference value for the subsequent researchers. The authors found that college students’ behavior changed dramatically in terms of community involvement, such that they became more irritable, became involved in a different community than before the epidemic, and had higher levels of anxiety.
