Research interests

Dr Wu's research expertise lies in the interaction among new media technologies, media psychology, digital journalism, and comparative politics. She particularly interested at the underlying mechanism (affective, social, and political) of people’s digital consumptions (mobile media, social media, AI) and how these media use impact affective, social, and political environments. Within this broad umbrella, she have three lines of research. First, she investigated the underlying affective (FoMO, leisure boredom, news fatigue) and news (cross-cutting) mechanism of people’s digital consumption behaviours (curation, avoidance, and addiction). Second, she studied in the context of comparative politics (US,UK,EU,HK), how biased information (i.e., fake news, fitspiration image) prevent people from further political and news consumption (i.e., polarization, selective exposure). Third, she studied how certain digital consumption (i.e., information seeking, multiplatform use) motivate people to self-disclose and enhance their social connectedness and wellbeing.
