● 초록: Recent studies have devoted attention to the effects of both expression and reception in the computer-mediated communication process. However, there remain both theoretical and methodological complexities concerning whether and under what condition message expression and reception play significant but different roles in explaining various psychosocial health outcomes. Relying theoretical insights from the social support literature and methodological innovations offered by computational social science, this talk will discuss two studies the effects of empathic exchanges withinline cancer support networks that examined the processes and effects with low- and high-educated cancer populations. The findings suggest that both empathy expression and reception are crucial to attaining benefits for cancer patients, each predicting differential cognitive and affective health outcomes. Further, the findings support the stress-buffering hypothesis that empathy reception provides a beneficial effect for patients who experienced a higher degree of depression associated with their cancer diagnosis and follow-up treatments.
