A Study on Trust-Building Discourse in Digital Consumer Conflict Management: A Mixed-Methods Analysis from Multimodal and Multicultural Perspectives

Xiaolan Zhu, Kou Heung

Abstract


This study explores trust-building in digital consumer conflict management through a mixed-methods approach combining multimodal discourse analysis and multicultural perspectives. By analyzing user reviews, service dialogues, and visual materials from platforms across
various countries, both in China and abroad, the study reveals how language, visuals, and sound interact to foster trust. The findings indicate
that richer multimodal resources significantly enhance trust, while cultural differences shape distinct discourse strategies. Higher trust levels
improve conflict resolution outcomes. The research contributes to theory and offers practical guidance for culturally adaptive, multimodal
trust-building in digital consumption contexts.
