ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in substantial international scientific research from high-income countries, with fewer contributions from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Utilizing a field theory approach, we contend that these output variations may underscore challenges faced by LMIC researchers in obtaining international academic recognition. Through a systematic review of Brazilian and international Communication research during the pandemic, we identify differences in research interests, constructs, methods, and use of academic references. While international literature prioritizes quantitative surveys, Brazil emphasizes qualitative content analysis. We also observe dissimilarities in covered topics and a limited number of shared references. Research traditions and distinct resource allocations pose additional barriers to international publishing, hampering academic exchanges between these communities.

ABSTRACT The digitalization of cultural spheres has profoundly impacted intergroup relations and power dynamics. Our understanding of digital anti-Americanism and Orientalism is embryonic. This integrative review provides a comprehensive appraisal of this research focus. Using databases, websites, and publication citations we integrated 36 studies (2001–2021) on anti-Americanism in the Arab Muslim world and neo-Orientalism in US war films and videogames. The findings indicated that digital culture underpins intergroup ambivalence. US digital epistemic power impedes intergroup rapprochement because digital entertainment media disseminate fear and instigate bias. However, research overlooked the correlation between digital Orientalism and anti-Americanism. We recommend further exploration of the influence of war culture on the waxing and waning of intragroup schisms and intergroup conflicts to promote global peace.

ABSTRACT This qualitative methodological review documents and analyzes thirty years of published empirical research using Speech Codes Theory (SCT). Ninety-four publications were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Nearly half of the studies used participant observation/ethnography, but other data such as media and non-observational methods were also utilized. Over half of the studies culminated in a speech code. Speech codes occur with various levels of abstraction although most studies are quite localized and specific. Findings highlight the need to clarify the conditions of what counts as/distinguishes a speech code as well as making explicit the interpretive moves made by scholars. This review demonstrates the utility of SCT and also provides a list of possibilities to help newer scholars interested in using SCT.

ABSTRACT Talking about mental health conditions is still not commonplace in contemporary societies. This is despite data suggesting that many people around the globe suffer from diverse mental health issues. This submission offers a comprehensive theoretical model–the Media in Mental Health Model (MMH Model)–that conceptualizes the role of the media in explaining why some people with mental health issues seek help while others do not. In doing so, it proposes one possible explanation for how media consumption can influence help-seeking behavior by introducing, reducing, or reinforcing existing stigma, influencing thwarted belongingness, and impacting perceived burdensomeness. Finally, this paper proposes an agenda for future research that primarily aims to unravel the media’s potential to dismantle existing stigma and support help-seeking behavior.

ABSTRACT Despite growing concerns and rapidly expanding research about health misinformation, answers to some fundamental questions remain unclear. Among the open questions are the definition of health misinformation (what is health misinformation?), the psychological drivers of susceptibility to health misinformation (why do people believe it?) and effective interventions for reducing the impact of health misinformation (how to counter it?). In this in-depth review and critical analysis of the growing literature on health misinformation, we seek to answer these questions by proposing a tentative definition for health misinformation, a comprehensive psychological model of susceptibility to health misinformation, and a systematic framework for countering health misinformation, while addressing ongoing debate about the scale of the misinformation problem and the effectiveness of current interventions.

ABSTRACT This article explores how the notion of podcast studies came about and questions its future among well-established media fields. Through a close reading of various definitions given to the term podcast in the formative years of its academic institutionalization, a first-time classification of the central traditions in podcast studies is proposed and critically discussed. This theoretical typology – whereby ‘podcast’ is understood as a technological, socio-cultural, or formalistic concept – draws attention to the complexities and limitations in justifying the very idea of studying podcasting as an autonomous media field. The critical meta-review leads to six research avenues that can make podcasting uniquely meaningful and innovative in wider contexts of media theory, such as sound studies, digital archiving, and everyday studies.

ABSTRACT Open-science principles, such as open data, shared materials, and pre-registration, are expected to encourage a culture of replication in scientific research. Yet, with its topical and methodological heterogeneity, communication science has been described to fall short of such principles. We analyze the extent to which open-science principles were used in publications from 20 leading communication journals between 2010 and 2020, and compare the results to benchmarks from psychology. Results show that open-science principles were little used in communication science with some variation across methods, but were more consistently used in psychology papers. There was no relationship with scientific impact. This suggests a need for greater attention to open-science principles in communication science, while considering their appropriateness for different study designs.

ABSTRACT As anti-Critical Race Theory (CRT) movements descend on educational spaces, it is necessary to self-reflect on investments in whiteness within our discipline. In this piece, I comment on Communication Studies’ epistemological investments in the property of whiteness, particularly through discursive strategies. Next, I outline a path forward in race and communication research coined Critical Communication and Race Theory of Research and Practice (CCRT). Finally, I suggest how CCRT may engender opportunities for liberatory race research, and disciplinary practices, in the areas of Critical Rhetorical Studies and Interpersonal Communication Studies. It is my hope that this piece supports conversation about unifying race scholars in the Communication Studies Discipline under the goal of disrupting racial logics, rather than working toward academic proliferation.

ABSTRACT Serial arguments are conflict interactions that recur about the same topic, within the same relationship, and without achieving resolution. A consequential form of interpersonal communication, serial arguments have captured over 30 years of research interest, and the knowledge generated about this phenomenon is robust yet scattered. In this essay, we organize this research landscape by reviewing key findings and identifying unanswered questions related to defining and characterizing serial arguments, intrapersonal and interpersonal processes, and within-episode and between-episode dynamics of serial arguments. We then present a roadmap that synthesizes extant literature and advances an agenda for future research on serial arguments. We conclude with a discussion to highlight opportunities for generating new insights into serial arguments.
