ABSTRACT This research investigates Black women athletes’ long-form public mental health disclosures (LFPMHDs). We conducted a phenomenological thematic analysis and drew from Orbe’s co-cultural theory to illuminate the communicative practices and orientations that Black WNBA players rely on as co-cultural group members. We argue that the LFPMHDs in the current study confront multiple layers of stigma related to race, gender, and mental illness while confronting limitations of the “mental health conversation” within and outside of sport. Our phenomenological thematic analysis revealed that Black WNBA players used LFPMHDs to: (a) communicate self and model the risks of intimate social contact with mental illness; (b) educate others by retelling their story, claiming agency over mediated appropriations of their self-disclosure narratives; and (c) narrate triggers and breaking points that coincide with their past adoption of nonassertive communication approaches.

ABSTRACT Although fake news has become a serious social issue and the detrimental effects of fake news have become more salient in online environments, scholars have not extensively studied the role of uncivil comments posted about fake news. As fake news itself is typically partisan and tends to deceive publics for specific purposes (e.g. gaining support for specific agendas), it usually induces heated discussion and uncivil commenting, especially among politically partisan individuals. Thus, in this study, we explored the effects of uncivil comments following fake news and political orientation on belief in fake news and anger. We used two issues to explore these mechanisms: climate change and immigration. Our results show that uncivil comments following fake news weakened participants’ belief in fake news about climate change. Moreover, uncivil comments made people angrier after viewing fake news about each issue. A significant moderating effect of political orientation on this relationship also emerged. Conservatives, who generally had a lower level of anger toward fake news than liberals, were more likely to feel anger when they viewed uncivil comments rather than civil comments. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT The present study investigates how audiences’ categorization (in-group or out-group) of the targets of a celebrity’s verbal aggression influences their parasocial relationships (PSRs) with the celebrity and emotional reactions (anger, sadness, anxiety, and happiness). Two hundred and eighty Chinese college students completed an online study. The participants reported greater PSR decrease and lower levels of happiness when the transgression targets were their in-group members in contrast to when the targets were their out-group members, after adjusted for group identification. The implications of the study as well as the future directions are discussed.

ABSTRACT Transnational solidarity is essential during global crises, particularly for resource-deprived countries. This study investigated whether messages about rising COVID−19 infections in the Global South can raise awareness and trigger solidarity among audiences in the Global North during an acute domestic crisis. Moreover, it tested whether the effects depend on the message framing. In two 2 + 1 experiments in the first months of the pandemic, participants from Germany were exposed to messages that informed them about rising infections in India. I found that message exposure made the threat to the population in the Global South more salient, increased empathy with the affected, resulted in a stronger intention to directly help, and tentatively led to more support of a government response. Whether messages framed rising infections as a humanitarian catastrophe for the Indian population or as a threat to the German population due to the increased likelihood of a virus mutation resulted in nuanced differences, yet overall, effects were more similar than expected. The priming of existing beliefs about the Global South, the particular context of a pandemic, the strength of the communicated threat, and study timing are discussed as potential explanations. Overall, the results underline how important it is to continue reporting about regions that seem distant or even peripheral from the perspective of the Global North in times of domestic crisis. The theoretical relevance of the findings beyond the specific historical context is highlighted.

ABSTRACT Partisanship is a driving factor of vote choice; however, the mechanism of influence is nuanced. Political parties operate as social identities that motivate elaboration about a candidate and bias image perceptions. In other words, partisanship influences the way in which individuals process information and form political opinions. This influence stems from the processes of ingroup favoritism and outgroup denigration. The present study employs an experimental design and an identity-motivated elaborative theoretical perspective to analyze the elaborative and perceptual process of determining candidate support. Though both congruent and incongruent partisan social identities influence intentions to vote for a candidate, they do so at different strengths and through different information-processing mechanisms. Specifically, ingroup favoritism is primarily automatic, whereas outgroup denigration is both deliberative and automatic.

ABSTRACT This study offers a valuable interpretivist approach in understanding how beauty standards and social comparison influence viewing of a fat or thin media image. Participants (N = 135) viewed either an altered or unaltered female media image and then responded to a series of questions. Through inductively analyzing the written discourse, three themes were generated. The first theme highlights how socialization informed participants’ viewing and interpreting of the images. The second theme specifies that participants interpreted the images through a lens of preexisting assumptions. The third theme captures the social comparisons that were made while viewing the images. Results are explained in the context of weight stigmatization and health assumptions, body positivity and fat pride, and social comparison theory.
