Abstract

Faced with the negative social impact brought by algorithmic recommendations such as echo bubbles and information cocoons on college students, the study focuses on the perception of information cocoons among Chinese college students, exploring the attitudes and reactions of this group towards algorithmic recommendations, trying to find the reasons for their information isolation and offering possible solutions. Douyin platform was used as the subject of the study due to its wide popularity. The results of the study, which were investigated through questionnaires, suggest that most college students are aware of the Douyin algorithm recommendation and hold an optimistic attitude towards it. However, algorithm recommendations may have adverse effects, especially the information cocoon. Also, filtering bubbles and echo chamber effect are brought by the algorithmic recommendations, which can make internal members understand each other but also make different views lose the opportunity of dialogue. Therefore, some practical suggestions of this situation and directions for future research in this area have been put forward.
