Thirdly, we use multivariate statistics to verify which influencing factors of Weibo can generate greater citizen participation (repost, reply, likes). Concerning Hypothesis 2, we find that the dialogic loop is partially associated with citizen participation. Because @other accounts provide users with a distinct form of dialogue, it positively influent repost and thump-up behavior of users. Because the analysis of the data shows that the form of forwarding is accompanied by short characters, sometimes even in the form of “forwarding Weibo”, indirect information will lead to the decline of citizen participation. The hashtag did not affect citizen engagement because 95.6% (n = 3412) of all posts contained one or more hashtags.
