The impact of environmental factors on public engagement on WeChat in China's national parks- a socio-cognitive analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Based on social cognitive theory and engagement hierarchy structure, this study aims to investigate how environmental factors influence public interaction behavior on WeChat, the official social media platform used by China's national parks (NPs). Using monthly panel data from July 2018 to December 2023, this research employs advanced econometric models such as two-way fixed effects, Least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV), and Difference Generalized Method of Moments (D-GMM) estimators to analyze the complex dynamics of public interaction and messaging. The results highlight the significant positive impact of policies and news in driving public behavior on social media, while academic conferences have a dampening effect. The study introduces the mediating role of WeChat and the moderating effect of the administrative level. In addition, the study shows that the engagement structure of China's NPs on WeChat is mainly at the level of information and community building, with limited progress in facilitating public action on environmental protection or policymaking. The findings suggest that tailored strategies, considering local contexts and the development stages of NPs, are essential for effective public service strategies. The results of the study can help inform how environmental factors and social media tools can be used to increase public engagement with NPs.
