ABSTRACT Impoverished rural communities are disproportionately affected by a neglected tropical disease called Chagas disease. Because it is a disease that affects the poor, governments inconsistently respond and, when they respond, governments use insecticides that are expensive for the affected communities and unhealthy for their inhabitants. Primary prevention of Chagas disease is essential. The present study reports on an entertainment education approach that sought to raise awareness of Chagas and its insect vector, the triatomine bug. As part of our ongoing efforts in rural Ecuador, we worked with the children of Chaquizhca to create plays that would promote awareness of triatomine bugs and associate the bugs with Chagas disease. Through an analysis of the plays the children wrote, we demonstrate opportunities and challenges that local scale entertainment education approaches face in when adopting community-centered participatory approaches in rural communities.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to examine instructional influences of students’ task value. A total of 382 undergraduate students participated in this survey study. The data supported a mediated model in which instructor misbehaviors (i.e., antagonism and lecturing) indirectly decrease students’ task value through the psychological responses of perceived immediacy and burnout. Therefore, findings of this study indicate that instructors who do not control their antagonism and lecturing behaviors may reduce the value that students see in the course they teach, ultimately hindering students’ learning experience. This study highlights the need for instructional communication training and resources for instructors which could improve psychoemotional experiences for students and improve learning.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the extent to which patient self-advocacy predicted COVID-19 vaccine hesitance in the U.S. (n = 1987). Results indicated being vaccinated, increasing age, and higher education were each positively related to increased vaccine non-hesitance. Also, those who sought more information and who were more assertive about their health had more non-hesitance toward the vaccine. Higher vaccine hesitance was found among participants who were Black and from other ethnic minorities, those who voted for Donald Trump or who did not vote in the 2020 election, and those who were more prone to nonadherence to health provider instructions. Targeted communication campaigns to connect to people with these specific characteristics and levels of advocacy can decrease vaccine non-hesitance.

ABSTRACT People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) experience higher rates of sexual violence and face unique challenges as they disclose their traumatic experiences to nonprofit organizations. Although there is little empirical research, it is important that nonprofit staff understand how to negotiate the privacy of clients who are living with IDDs. Drawing on 12-months of ethnographic data, this study investigates communication challenges that staff experienced as they managed the privacy of their clients with IDDs. Guided by Communication Privacy Management theory, interpretations reveal three challenges that staff experience: 1) difficulties identifying private information ownership, 2) conceptualizing private information control, and 3) managing turbulence. The study concludes with theoretical and practical implications for privacy management and nonprofits serving clients with IDDs.

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether multiple factors correlate positively or inversely with compassion felt toward suffering social groups. Data were collected from 367 participants during April 2020 to investigate hypotheses in the context of three suffering social groups in the United States during that time: the Black American community, the LGBTQ community, and those directly affected by COVID-19. Results showed that compassion toward suffering groups covaries inversely with one’s own ingroup preference. Compassion toward suffering social groups also covaried positively with the extent to which a person identifies with a suffering social group or knows people in a suffering social group. Additionally, loneliness was inversely correlated with compassion for suffering groups. These results suggest that although compassion is an important emotional motivator for engagement in prosocial behaviors that are vital to maintaining relationships, multiple factors can enhance or inhibit it.

ABSTRACT This racial rhetorical analysis draws from strategic whiteness to examine the 2007–2019 TV sitcom, The Big Bang Theory (TBBT)’s construction of Asian Indian characters, Raj and Priya Koothrappali. This critique maps how Priya, through White racial bonding, is rhetorically developed as the wary antagonist of TBBT, and Raj is constituted as childlike and sexually ambiguous. Subsequently, both are situated as unappealing romantic partners to those within the bounds of whiteness, and serve as catalysts for White racial coupling, thereby maintaining White normativity and power. The paper closes with a discussion of the analysis’s ideological implications within a historical context characterized by the racialization, exclusion, and maltreatment of Asian Americans within the U.S.

ABSTRACT In this essay, we analyze the animated television series The Lion Guard, which aired on Disney Junior, and illustrate how the text functions in progressive, counter-hegemonic ways. The text, we demonstrate, consistently stages queer and feminist politics through its character depictions, plot developments, and situational dialogue. Through progressive pedagogy, we argue, The Lion Guard invites the viewers to model a mode of citizenship that is inclusive in temperament, cooperative in practice, and sensitive to social justice.

ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the diamond industry has struggled to recover from the public outcry against so-called blood diamonds. A recent innovation may change that. Synthetic diamonds are gem-grade stones produced in a sterile lab – far from the notorious bloodied mines. The online retailers who sell these lab-grown jewels publicly disavow their mined counterparts while emphasizing their own products’ ethicality. This rhetorical strategy, which I term reverse mediation, enables industries to sublimate consumers’ guilt for their complicity in decades of grotesque consumption and offer the market a more ethical alternative to re-ignite consumers’ desire. In the era of capitalist realism, reverse mediation is an important mechanism to maintain the tacit consent of an increasingly skeptical public.
