ABSTRACTThis project explores narratives of nonprofit wrongdoing through media coverage and organizational responses exhibited in four individual cases, representing four common types of nonprofit organizations and four distinct types of wrongdoing. Through a thematic analysis of over 450 texts, the findings from this study provide an initial examination of how nonprofit wrongdoing has been conceptualized and the discourses surrounding issues of trust, focusing on the emotional cost and fallout of nonprofit wrongdoing as a key component of broken trust. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The leading social media outlets of today were all created or became widely used after the specific cases of wrongdoing examined in this study. The cases of wrongdoing examined here occurred between 2004 and 2007. Today’s social media outlets gained widespread popularity in the years following. For example, Facebook was opened to all users regardless of university affiliation in 2006 and by 2009 was ranked as the ‘most used social network worldwide.’ Twitter was created in 2006 and had 100 million users by 2012. Instagram was created in 2010, and the first hashtag was used in 2007 (Edosomwan, Prakasan, Kouame, Watson, & Seymour, Citation2011).2 While auto-coding capabilities exist within this qualitative software, I did not use this.function but, instead, personally conducted all coding and analysis at each stage of the process.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the University of Mississippi, College of Liberal Arts [CLA Research and Creative Achievement Grant].

ABSTRACTPostpartum depression is a prevalent condition, and preliminary data suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic further increased its incidence. Building on scholarship that has shown the value of exploring patients’ narratives for diagnosis and treatment, this study examines narratives of recovery in an online support forum, using theories of narrative identity. An online forum with 64 participants suffering from postpartum depression was analyzed according to grounded theory. A thematic analysis uncovered two dominant narratives: the full recovery or inevitable progress narrative, and the cyclical recovery or struggle as norm narrative. This study illustrates the complicated interaction between medical institutions, recovery narratives, and identity. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Participants are identified with a random number created by the forum hosts to anonymize the data.:

ABSTRACTBased on uncertainty management theory, this study examined the extent to which demographic factors and patient self-advocacy predict COVID-19 vaccine confidence in New Zealand. Based on a nationally representative sample of 1852 New Zealanders, the results revealed various demographic factors and belief in one’s ability to get vaccinated were significant predictors of vaccine confidence. Additionally, patient self-advocacy was a significant predictor of confidence, with individuals who seek out more information having more confidence and those who are more prone to nonadherence to provider instructions having less confidence. Implications for uncertainty management theory, vaccine confidence, patient self-advocacy, and public communication campaigns during pandemics are discussed. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 A term from Māori language to denote white settlers and which now means non-Māori (usually white) citizens of New Zealand who have been born in New Zealand or have lived in New Zealand for a substantial period.2 The first main therapy using similar technology was approved by the FDA in 2018: Patisiran developed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals was approved for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hereditary TTR-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR) in adults.3 Note papers was retracted after publication.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Massey Business School.

ABSTRACTThis paper explores online participatory culture from the early 1990s to the present, highlighting three trends that exemplify its development and eventual co-option by corporate and political movements. In the 1990s, a participatory culture around baseball analytics emerged online, characterized by a challenge to traditional notions of knowledge in the sport. By the 2000s, online participatory cultures began populating social media platforms that were searching for new ways to increase user engagement. One such culture, the self-tracking fitness movement, focused on individual self-improvement via quantifying the body’s activity, while promoting a relocation of expert knowledge to the online technology and fitness platforms that housed the movement. During the COVID-19 pandemic, notions of expert knowledge and individualized approaches to the body, aspects of the first two trends, were manipulated by far-right rhetoric and transformed by mis- and disinformation disseminated on the now-ubiquitous social media platforms. The study concludes by analyzing philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s condemnation of COVID-19 public health mandates, exploring how the theories underlying both baseball analytics and self-tracking were used to valorize individualistic health freedom over collective well-being. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
