Purpose/Significance To explore the behavioral motivations of users participating in the correction of pseudo-health information on short video platforms, and to provide theoretical basis and practical inspiration for promoting information governance on short video platforms. Method/Process Based on the theory of planned behavior, integrating theories such as perceived risk, social exchange, co-attachment, and self-efficacy, an empirical study is conducted using the structural equation model and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. Result/Conclusion Psychological safety, reciprocity, subjective norms, community participation, behavioral attitude, outcome expectations, self-efficacy, behavioral intention, and perceived behavioral control all have significant influences on users participating in the correction of pseudo-health information on short video platforms. Three types of antecedent configuration paths of pseudo-health information correction behaviors are proposed, and suggestions are proposed to short video platforms.
