Framed in communication privacy management theory, this study examined privacy rule foundations, recipients of students’ academic private information, and contextual factors related to sharing academic private information. Participants’ (N = 168) responses to open-ended questions were inductively coded to allow their core and catalyst privacy rules to emerge from the data (e.g., privacy orientations and risk-benefit considerations). The privacy rules that emerged predicted the amount of academic private information shared with faculty. Results underscore the importance of investigating privacy orientations and risk-benefit assessments in making sense of what, how, and with whom students share private information.

Internalized homophobia has adverse relational consequences for same-sex couples. This study highlights language use as a mechanism underlying the association between internalized homophobia and relationship quality. Internalized homophobia is predicted to be negatively associated with language use features, including clout, authenticity, and emotional tone, which are positively related to relationship satisfaction and length. Participants’ (N = 166) written responses to the content of a couple’s discussion about relationship disclosure were analyzed to assess language use variables. Mediation analyses indicated that clout and emotional tone mediated the negative relationship between internalized homophobia and relationship satisfaction. Authenticity mediated the inverse relationship between internalized homophobia and relationship length. The results have implications for understanding and alleviating minority stress in same-sex couples.

This study examined communication apprehension within parent–child relationships as a function of parental alienation and self-esteem. We posited that parental alienation in childhood was positively associated with parent–child communication apprehension in adulthood, and that self-esteem in adulthood mediated the association. Results from 211 college-aged students indicated that parental alienation from male and female caregivers in childhood was positively associated with communication apprehension with female caregivers in adulthood. In addition, parental alienation from male caregivers in childhood was positively associated with communication apprehension with male caregivers in adulthood. The findings also indicated a stronger positive relationship between parental alienation and parent–child communication apprehension when self-esteem was low rather than high.

This longitudinal research uses content analysis and survey data to consider both news media presentation and audience interpretation of images from the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina within the theoretical frameworks of iconic imagery and commemorative journalism. The data show that imagery themes, rather than select images, are remembered regarding Hurricane Katrina. Comparing print and digital news as sites of media content, and in consideration of commemorative journalism, the data showed that while print news focused on current visual imagery best classified as “moving forward,” digital news galleries focused on original visual imagery best classified as “looking back,” with internet space functioning in such a way as to make historic images ubiquitous, and, in a sense, permanent.

Researchers have repeatedly called for more careful attention to how ethnicity and culture influence grandparent–grandchild communication. Using affection exchange theory as our guiding lens, we examined how grandchildren’s perceptions of receiving affection from their grandparents differ according to grandparents’ ethnicity. After controlling for a range of potentially confounding factors, grandchildren of Asian American, European American, and Latina/o American grandparents differed in the love and esteem, caring, memories and humor, and celebratory affection they reported from grandparents. Grandparents’ ethnicity also moderated associations between love and esteem and closeness, as well as between memories and humor and closeness. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are considered.

This study examines the relationships between two empowering organizational communication practices, employee work participation (EWP) and internal communication adequacy (ICA), and the mediating role of workers’ organizational identification (OI) on information technology (IT) workers’ turnover intentions. Using a sample of 111 IT workers from a Midwest-based IT company, results from multiple regression and mediation analyses show that EWP is both directly and indirectly negatively associated with workers’ turnover intentions. Additionally, the results show that OI, and both ICA and OI, mediated the relationship between EWP and turnover intention. Implications of the results are discussed.

Informed by research on friends’ sex-related talk, received support, and the multiple goals perspective, this study examined how college students’ interaction goals explained the support received from friends when talking about sex-related concerns. An online survey of 139 college students indicated instrumental, identity, and relational goals helped and hindered receiving nurturant, informational, and tangible support from friends, suggesting goals should not be studied in isolation. Results also evidenced the importance of having a combination of goal types to maximize received support from friends when talking about sex-related concerns.

This study explored the relationship between exposure to television programs featuring gay male characters and homonegativity in a diverse adult sample. Specifically, this relationship was examined at both the program and character level. Participants (N = 120) responded to an online survey that asked about exposure to television shows known to feature gay male characters that aired between 2000 and 2015. Next, participants recalled specific characters from these programs before reporting their homonegative attitudes and beliefs. Results revealed that both viewing programs featuring gay male characters and recall of specific gay male characters decreased their negative attitudes toward gay men in society, irrespective of individual difference factors (e.g., religiosity, gender, close interpersonal contact with gay men). Results are discussed in terms of mediated intergroup contact theory.

Brainstorming is a technique to promote idea generation that may also promote cohesiveness in idea generating groups. Similarities between the rules of brainstorming and the logic of fantasy chaining from symbolic convergence theory are considered. In 41 groups, 151 participants reported their perceptions of freewheeling (i.e., willingness to share impractical ideas), piggybacking (i.e., building on the ideas of others), focusing on quantity (i.e., prioritizing as many ideas as possible), and nonevaluation (i.e., not providing feedback to the ideas of others) and their perceptions of group cohesiveness. Cohesiveness is significantly predicted by increased perceptions of piggybacking and focusing on quantity. Counter to predictions, freewheeling is not positively associated with cohesiveness.
