ABSTRACT In many domains of health risk prevention and management, tailoring messages specifically for different stages of change is critical. In the context of smoking cessation, this research represents an initial attempt to discover stage-specific affective profiles in terms of guilt versus shame. It then examines whether stage-congruent emotional appeals increase the persuasiveness of antismoking campaigns. Study 1 found that participants felt more negative self-conscious emotions as they entered the later stages of smoking cessation, showing more salient emotional states of guilt rather than shame. Study 2 found that stage-emotion compatibility, such as that exhibited by participants in the early stages of change, was not altered by emotional appeals regardless of the emotional type. In contrast, those in the later stages of change perceived guilt rather than shame appeals to be more effective and displayed greater smoking cessation intention. Through this, current research takes an important step toward theoretically identifying the affective states associated with different stages of change for smoking cessation and helps practitioners use emotional appeals effectively and appropriately in public health campaigns.

ABSTRACT Despite increasing research on deliberative practices, most studies have focused almost exclusively on Western cases, overlooking practices taking place in other parts of the world. Therefore, this study examines a recent South Korean case of deliberative practice in an Asian cultural context that focused on the decision to reconstruct the Shin-Gori Nuclear Reactors. In particular, this study sought to understand the effects on participants of their first-hand experience in this deliberative practice. Overall, this study showed that both the individual’s open-mindedness as well as perceived fairness of the deliberative practice were critical in encouraging people to actively participate in the discussions. Consequently, participants who were active in discussions were more acceptable of the final decision and were encouraged to join future deliberative practices. In the meantime, the null finding of the opinion change and, specifically, its insignificant relationship with knowledge challenged the emphasis of previous studies on the importance of knowledge and opinion. Together, this study implies the necessity to examine further the mechanisms and conditions needed for well-functioning deliberative forums in non-Western countries as well as their effects. Finally, the implications of the findings as well as suggestions for deliberative practice are discussed.

The Korean Wave has become one of the world’s most recognizable non -Western popular cultures. Korean Wave popular culture has emerged as a potentially vital tool for soft power diplomacy in South Korea. It has increased South Korea’s global prominence and caught the interest of a new generation (Kim & Nye, 2013) . What is the driving force behind the Korean Wave’s global rise in popularity? Who contributed to the spread of the Korean Wave? And what does the Korean Wa ve mean for South Korea’s soft power? To answer these questions, the authors of the book titled “The Soft Power of Korean Wave: Parasite, BTS and Drama”

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate how the leading Chinese companies communicate their stakeholder engagement (SE) practices in CSR reports and the quality of such practices. A quantitative content analysis was employed to examine SE-related content of 98 CSR annual reports from Fortune 200 Chinese companies. Informed by prior research, a SE disclosure index was created to examine to what extent the leading Chinese companies reported their daily SE practices. Moreover, a SE evaluation framework was introduced and applied to further examine the quality of SE practices applied to consumers, employees, and communities. The study shows that the leading Chinese companies generally incorporated SE-related content as a salient component in their CSR reports, disclosed important items about their SE practices, and adopted varied approaches to engage with the three stakeholders. Moreover, SE disclosure thoroughness and quality were associated with the economic industry a company belongs to, the presence of a corporate foundation, and the existence of a CSR committee within the board of directors.

ABSTRACT One popular genre of YouTube content in the Philippines is the Miss Universe reaction video made by queer fans during pageant viewing parties. The videos show hysterical and dramatic expressions of fans which are conceptualized as a form of queer expression, kabaklaan [Diaz (2018). Biyuti from below: Contemporary Philippine cinema and the transing of Kabaklaan. Transgender Studies Quarterly, 5(3), 404–424]. By analyzing the circulation of the videos, the present study aims to identify the roles of YouTube users and digital platforms in the transformations of the queer expression. My findings suggest that the affordances of YouTube (visibility, participation, dissemination) contribute to the commodification of the reaction videos and the popularization of queer emotional performances. At the same time, YouTube provides a facility where users can participate in the politics of queer recognition. The study shows how circulation can account for cultural transformations and continuity on digital platforms.
摘要在菲律宾，YouTube上流行的一种内容是酷儿粉丝在选美晚会上制作的环球小姐反应视频。这些视频展示了粉丝们歇斯底里和戏剧性的表情，这些表情被概念化为一种酷儿表情，kabaklaan[Diaz（2018）。Biyuti from below：当代菲律宾电影和kabaklaan的转变。跨性别研究季刊，5（3），404–424]。通过分析视频的传播情况，本研究旨在确定YouTube用户和数字平台在酷儿表达转变中的作用。我的研究结果表明，YouTube的可供性（可见性、参与性、传播性）有助于反应视频的商品化和酷儿情感表演的普及。与此同时，YouTube提供了一个设施，用户可以在这里参与酷儿识别的政治。这项研究展示了流通如何解释数字平台上的文化转型和连续性。

ABSTRACT With more than 1 billion monthly active users recorded since 2018, WeChat (Weixin) is the primary digital platform for Mandarin speakers globally. This paper ‘traces back’ the development of WeChat through its connections to the Anglo social platforms and analyses the unfavourable sentiment that WeChat has received from the West. The analysis is informed by ‘postcolonial technoscience’ – a theory and methodology that unveils the mobilisation of science and technological ideas between the West and the non-West, which are otherwise treated apart or perceived through certain hierarchies, in the technosphere dominated by the West. The paper argues that WeChat was developed through mimetic practices to the Western corporate social media and later engages in its mimetic excess – imitating and exceeding the West; the further innovation and expansion of WeChat intensify techno-orientalism that triggers fear, anxiety, and platform otherisation especially in the United States and Australia. The analysis presents valuable applicability for understanding non-Western technologies in the fabric of contemporary postcolonial technosphere dominated by the West.

ABSTRACT Platform governance plays a key role in guiding and regulating user behaviors and helping the platforms grow healthily and has thus attracted growing scholarly attention. By deploying the walkthrough method and semi-structured in-depth interviews, this study examines the governance mechanisms of two queer social and dating platforms – Rela and HER – and users’ practices for engaging with their governance systems. The findings suggest that Rela developes a type of stringent governance culture, characterized by the highly strict and authoritative censorship stipulations and practices, particularly with respect to sexual and political content. HER, however, establishes a relatively relaxed governance system, showing higher tolerance toward a wider range of topics and foregrounding a co-governance approach by encouraging users’ self-regulation and mutual supervision. These differences in governance practices and cultures have been substantially shaped by the sociopolitical environments in which these two platforms have developed. Interviewees expressed diverse interpretations of the governance systems of Rela and HER based on their individual practices, for example, articulating their concerns and dissatisfaction while also emphasizing their positive experiences enabled by these two platforms’ governance practices. This study enriches the existing platform governance studies by offering insights into queer social platforms’ governance systems and their users’ practices.
