Hot Weather and Online Expression of Domestic Violence in China Australian National University, Australia While extensive research has documented the health impacts of extreme heat, its implications for domestic violence remain largely undeveloped. This study examines the impact of compound humid heat on the online expression of domestic violence in China. Using geo-tagged Sina Weibo social media post data for 347 cities over 2018–2020, the findings indicate days with a maximum wet-bulb temperature above 29°C are associated with a marked increase in domestic violence–related online expression. The impact is short-lived, peaking within 0–2 days and fading thereafter. We further find that female political empowerment amplifies the effect, while economic and cultural empowerment tends to reduce it. Mechanism analyses suggest that high wet-bulb temperatures induce significant increases in online expression of depression- and anxiety-related sentiments, as well as reduced outdoor mobility. The findings provide evidence of gendered aspects of extreme weather and climate change. | |
