Abstract: Information and communication technologies have profoundly changed the way people daily remember and discuss opinions and information while interacting and collaborating with common everyday activities such as working, teaching, and studying. Indeed, the rise of Internet connectivity and rapidly expanding social media platforms raises new questions about how false and true memories spread across social connections and is critical to further understanding everyday human memory functioning. Here, we adopted a classic collaborative memory paradigm and investigated memory performance across two different experimental conditions: in-person and computer-mediated communication via video calls on Teams to evaluate the effects of remote collaboration on memory recall. Results showed that individuals who collaborated in presence and individuals who collaborated via computer had comparable memory performance when communication was enriched with verbal and nonverbal cues.

Abstract: Narrative messages have demonstrated consistent effects on attitude change, with transportation as one of the most prominent explanations for their effects. However, the transportation process has yet to be fully understood. The present study investigated how attentional changes during audio narrative exposure, operationalized as secondary task reaction times, related to postexposure self-reports of transportation. Results demonstrated, unexpectedly, that faster reaction times were associated with increased transportation. Additionally, the study investigated multitasking propensity as a moderator, finding that low multitaskers exhibited slower reaction times during narrative compared to nonnarrative exposure whereas high multitaskers showed no differences in reaction time for narratives compared to nonnarratives. There were no differences in self-reported transportation for high and low multitaskers. The findings revealed limitations of the transportation self-report measure to capture attention, while highlighting the nuanced relationship between attention and transportation.

Abstract: A 5-day diary study examined how channel affordances are related to channel use and outcomes in romantic conflict. Adults answered five consecutive days of surveys about daily conflict occurrence, channel affordances, channel use, and conflict behavior. The results of a 1–1–1 multilevel mediation analysis showed negative within-indirect effects for the channel affordances of editability and persistence on constructive conflict behavior via mobile text messaging, and a positive within-indirect effect for the channel affordance of bandwidth on constructive conflict behavior via face-to-face communication. The data suggest that channel affordances motivate channel use in romantic conflict and that these channel affordances are indirectly related to constructive conflict behavior.

Abstract: In this paper, we examine media use in the aftermath of the 2004, 2012, and 2020 presidential elections in the United States. Specifically, we test whether members of the party who won the election bask in reflected glory (BIRG; i.e., seek out pro-attitudinal media after preferred candidate wins) or whether members of the losing party cut off reflected failure (CORF; i.e., cut off ties with their party after a loss by decreasing their use of pro-attitudinal media). We also examine whether individuals whose candidate lost use pro-attitudinal media to repair their identity, or engage in information utility behaviors by seeking out counter-attitudinal information to learn about the opposing party following their win. Using two waves of survey data from the 2004, 2012, and 2020 US presidential elections, we find support for the BIRGing hypothesis. However, we did not find support for any of the hypotheses associated with losing the elections.

Abstract: Inoculation theory was introduced 60 years ago, after McGuire and Papageorgis (1961) published their first study on how resistance to persuasion can be induced. They demonstrated that people who are pre-exposed to weakened arguments against an attitude or position they currently hold (i.e., inoculated) are less affected by a subsequent strong counter-attitudinal message than people who are pre-exposed to arguments consistent with their attitude (i.e., supportive defense treatment) or to no arguments. Although these results significantly impacted both science and practice on a general level, rigid tests of the key theoretical propositions are lacking. We conducted a highly powered replication study ( N = 679) and found that an inoculation treatment is more effective in increasing resistance toward persuasion compared to a supportive defense treatment and a no-treatment control condition. Our results were mostly consistent with McGuire and Papageorgis’s original work.

Abstract: An online experiment investigated heterosexual women’s responses to their romantic partners’ pornography use. Specifically, we examined how a perceived parasocial (i.e., entirely fanciful, one-sided) versus social (i.e., reciprocal) interaction with a porn actress, as well as a perceived parasocial romantic attachment to a porn actress, may pose a relational threat to one’s actual romantic relationship. Results revealed that perceptions of infidelity and jealousy were dampened by women’s belief that their romantic partner had a weak (vs. stronger) parasocial romantic attachment to and parasocial (vs. social) interaction with a porn actress. These findings advance our understanding of the effects of pornography use within romantic relationships and highlight how parasocial relationships can affect romance.

Abstract: The rise of mobile technology and social media has created a fragmented and interconnected social media landscape. Drawing from the concept of polymedia and media repertoire, this study paints social media as an integrated environment and introduces the concept of multiplatform mobile connectedness (MMC) as a representation of an individual’s curative social media repertoire, shaped by meanings attributed to each mobile media platform. By examining its relationship with negative well-being, this study contributes to the debate on the displacement or reinforcement hypothesis of mobile media in an integrated environment. Focusing on emerging adulthoods in China, this study reveals that MMC is associated with higher negative well-being through fear of missing out (FoMO) and leisure boredom. This finding offers a new perspective from MMC on the impact of mobile media on well-being.

Abstract: Although African Americans are increasingly featured on TV, persistent stereotypes of Black women remain that frame them as hypersexual Jezebels or verbally aggressive Sapphires. Priming participants with these stereotypes negatively affects White emerging adults’ perceptions of Black women; however, parallel findings among Black participants have yet to emerge. We investigated this dynamic via two studies, testing mechanisms proposed by cultivation, social cognitive, and social identity theories. In Study 1, 204 Black emerging adults reported their exposure to 6 reality programs and 17 dramas that prominently feature Black women, their perceptions of the realism of TV, and their endorsement of Jezebel and Sapphire stereotypes. As expected, viewing of TV dramas that prominently feature Black women predicted notably greater support of the Jezebel stereotype among women and statistically greater support among men. Attributing greater realism to TV portrayals was associated with stronger support of the Sapphire stereotype among women. In Study 2, we exposed 438 Black and White emerging adults to depictions of the Sapphire stereotype and examined whether evaluations of women, Black women, and a Black woman job applicant varied by race or condition. Participants who had viewed Sapphire depictions perceived women, in general, to be less “feminine,” and White participants viewed Black women to be less warm. Our results offer support for multiple mechanisms and highlight implications for workplace and romantic relationships.

Abstract: Research has shown the importance of exploring variables associated with problematic Internet use (PIU) in emerging adulthood. In this scenario, grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic features might be differently associated with PIU. Similarly, environmental sensitivity encompasses heightened empathy, sensitivity to rejection, and problems in emotional regulation. However, the interplay of narcissism and environmental sensitivity associated with PIU has not yet been explored. In this scenario, in a sample of 319 emerging adults (female = 78%, Mage = 24.00, SD = 2.33), we explored the role of environmental sensitivity in the association between narcissistic features and PIU using general linear models that were compared via a total coefficient of determination (TCD) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Data highlighted that one emerging adult out of four displayed at least a moderate level of PIU. Furthermore, results showed that only narcissistic vulnerability was associated with PIU. Also, findings suggest that higher sensitivity to environmental stimuli (positive or negative ones) strengthens the association between vulnerable narcissism and PIU. Our study sheds light on the complex and multidimensional nature of PIU, acknowledging the interaction between different personality traits linked to an increased sensitivity to the social world: environmental sensitivity, including the environmental and social cues, and narcissistic features, encompassing the fear of rejection and/or devaluation from others. By exploring these associations, this study highlights the need for more targeted interventions to address PIU, particularly for individuals with higher levels of self-sensitivity when navigating the interpersonal domain.
