초록

온라인 루머는 피해자에게 극심한 정신적 스트레스와 이미지 손실을 발생시킨다. 온라인 루머 관련 선행 연구들은 온라인 루머가 온라인 공간에서 발생하는 현상임에도 불구하고 온라인 환경 요인을 크게 고려하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 온라인 루머에 대한 온라인 특성의 영향력을 발견하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 인지된 익명성, 사회적 실재감 부족, 인지된 전파성을 온라인 특성으로 고려하였으며, 온라인 특성이 온라인 루머에 대한 태도를 거쳐 온라인 루머 행동으로 이어지는 연구 모델을 수립하고 실증하였다. 본 연구는 설문조사를 기반으로 소셜 네트워크 사용자 201명의 표본을 확보하였으며, PLS 분석 프로그램을 통해 연구 모델을 검증 하였다. 연구 결과, 인지된 익명성과 인지된 전파성은 온라인 루머에 대한 태도를 거쳐 온라인 루머 행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 사회적 실재감 부족은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 발견은 개인의 온라인 루머 행동이 온라인 특성에 의해서 발생할 수 있다는 사실을 제공한다. 본 연구는 온라인 루머 행동에 대해 인지된 익명성과 인지된 전파성의 역할을 주목할 필요성을 제시한다.

Online rumor creates psychological stress and image loss for victims. Prior studies related to online rumor did not consider the online environmental factor, despite the fact that online rumor occurs in the online space. Therefore, this study tried to investigate the influence of online characteristics on online rumor. This study considered perceived anonymity, lack of social presence, and perceived dissemination as online characteristics. We established and demonstrated a research model in which online characteristics affect online rumor behavior through attitude toward online rumor. This study obtained the sample of 201 social network users based on the survey and verified the research model using PLS tool. The results provided that perceived anonymity and perceived dissemination influenced online rumor behavior through attitude toward online rumor. On the other hand, lack of social presence was not significant. The findings of this study provide the fact that an individual's online rumor behavior can be caused by online characteristics. This study suggests that we pay attention to the role of perceived anonymity and perceived dissemination for online rumor behavior.
