ABSTRACT Research has rarely looked into links between adolescents’ media use, internal attribution of professional success, and well-being. The current study among 940 late adolescents (M = 17.21 years old, SD = .94; 60.9% girls) found that exposure to malleable professional ideals in traditional as well as social media was positively related to internal attribution of professional success, which was in turn positively related to professional performance pressure but negatively related to depressive feelings. Also direct positive relations between traditional and social media and performance pressure were found. These are the first empirical results supporting the malleability framework.

ABSTRACT Videoconferencing has become an essential communication tool for employees to engage in virtual meetings with their colleagues and complete work tasks remotely. However, there have been reports of a phenomenon termed videoconference fatigue. Concurrently, there has been an increase in work-family conflict among individuals working from home, due to an imbalance from role demands and expectations between work and family. With the rise of videoconferencing that has come to characterize work-from-home setups, it is important to explore the role videoconferencing plays on work-family conflict. We propose a model where the increase in use of videoconferencing as a result of working from home may lead to higher levels of videoconference fatigue, which will in turn result in greater work-family conflict. An online nationwide survey was conducted in Singapore with 590 respondents to test the proposed hypotheses. Results of serial mediation analyses conducted using PROCESS macro supported all hypotheses and indicated support for serial mediation. Emotional and occupational videoconference fatigue were further found to be significantly related to work-family conflict, whereas physical videoconference was not. Our results suggest that as videoconferencing continues to become the default mode of work-related communication, sustained investigation on its implications on work-family conflict is crucial.

ABSTRACT Drawing on in-depth interview data from 56 Americans who live in politically divided communities, this study extends the spiral of silence by theorizing a typology of political self-silencing that articulates differing types of silencing with varying motivations and implementations. Using theoretical support from the concept of networked silence, we theorize three types of self-silencing: total, when people always stay silent about politics; misrepresentative, involving lying or hiding one’s beliefs to eschew conflict; and selective, employed for highly contentious topics or aggressive discussants. We posit that people surveil not just the media, society, their community, and their reference groups in deciding whether to self-silence, as the spiral of silence suggests. Rather, they also surveil individual actors and within the context of specific conversations in making assessments about whether to speak out in an evolving, dynamic process.

ABSTRACT Developing artificial intelligence (AI) equitably necessitates understanding how nonexperts conceptualize and share news about technoscientific risk. We examine a model predicting AI information sharing online from an interaction of framing strategies, through psychological proximity to the impacts of AI and perceived AI risk. A panel of N = 412 participants were exposed to either a control message; or one of four manipulated messages related to AI risks. Contrary to expectations, thematically framed explicit risk news primed psychological proximity compared to both a control message and episodic frame condition. Meanwhile, episodic explicit risk frames did not prime psychological proximity over a control message. These results contest the notion that episodic frames should be associated with psychological proximity to a risk over more general framing strategies. Our results support prior research suggesting that where risk-news primes psychological proximity, the decrease in distance is in-turn associated with greater risk perception and increased likelihood of news sharing online.

ABSTRACT Although social network sites (SNSs) carry a wide range of information about a person, previous research discovered they did not reduce uncertainties about the person as well as direct interactions with the person. This paradox prompted a conceptual distinction between interpersonal and personal uncertainties. With a web-based experiment (N = 216), the study tested how one may gain personal and interpersonal certainties about a target person from reading different types of information on social media, focusing on the effects of information valence, information source, and an information seeker’s positivism bias. Results revealed reading SNS information about a person increased personal certainty more than interpersonal certainty. Negative information increased interpersonal certainty more than positive information but not for those with a higher positivism bias. The results provide initial empirical evidence for the distinction between personal and interpersonal certainties and how different types of information on SNSs influence them.

ABSTRACT This study explores graduate teaching assistants’ experiences of perceived introductory course director misbehaviors. The investigation situates these experiences in the larger organizational dissent conversation – a heuristic that helps to frame how these perceived misbehaviors impact graduate teaching assistants’ understanding of their current and future work relationships with course directors. Participants (N = 55) were graduate teaching assistants in multi-section introductory communication courses across the United States who completed an online Qualtrics survey about their perceived introductory course director misbehaviors as well as how those misbehaviors were managed and shaped future interactions with their course directors. Thematic analysis identified indolent, offensive, and incompetence misbehaviors. The findings offer implications for improving organizational communication processes to positively impact the course director-graduate teaching assistant work relationship.

ABSTRACT This study aims to understand the collective sensemaking efforts and emotional reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine in Turkey between January 13, and January 22, 2021, as this time frame captured the initial days of vaccine rollouts and was characterized by high information ambiguity regarding COVID-19 vaccinations in Turkey. 45,759 tweets (written in Turkish) related to COVID-19 vaccine were analyzed. To analyze the tweet corpus, we used Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling with a total of 30 topics based on the coherence scores, which were grouped into 6 distinct themes. The findings showed that Twitter users in Turkey made sense of the initial uncertainty regarding vaccinations by 1) discussing their vaccine hesitancy and rejection, 2) critiquing vaccine availability and priority groups, 3) critiquing the politicians getting vaccinated under the disguise of “incentivizing” the society 4) mocking photo sharing during vaccinations, 5) sharing unverified information about vaccination status and side effects 6) telling jokes about the vaccinations and vaccine side effects. Additionally, the sentiment analysis showed that the dominant emotions around the COVID-19 vaccine were negative. Theoretical implications are advanced for collective sensemaking framework, and practical implications are outlined to improve global communication efforts to eradicate vaccine hesitancy.

ABSTRACT Guided by intergroup contact theory, this survey study investigated whether the formation of pseudo-socioemotional ties with well-known LGBT media personas in China (i.e., parasocial relationships) could reduce cisgender heterosexual Chinese participants’ anxiety toward and prejudice against the LGBT community. Results indicated a significant indirect effect of parasocial relationship with LGBT media personas on prejudice against this community through intergroup anxiety: the parasocial relationship was negatively associated with intergroup anxiety, which was consequently associated with less prejudice. Moreover, results indicated the direct effect of parasocial relationships with LGBT media personas on prejudice was moderated by participants’ direct contact with LGBT members: parasocial relationships reduced prejudice only for those who had more direct contact with LGBT individuals. These findings add nuances and create boundary conditions to intergroup contact theory and bear significant practical implications for the Chinese LGBT community.

ABSTRACT This study addresses the gap in research on family caregivers by examining how specific communication skills may affect caregiver burden. Caregiver burden is the perception of whether caregiving has a negative effect on an individual’s functioning, including physical, social, and emotional operation. This paper examines the impact of two types of self-perceptions that are related to communication competence. Self-efficacy refers to one’s confidence in being able to communicate with clinicians. Emotional intelligence is a subset of social intelligence and represents one’s ability to manage their own and others’ feelings and emotions. Three hundred and two participants self-identified as caregivers completed a survey that included measures of caregiver burden, clinical communication self-efficacy, and trait emotional intelligence. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that both higher levels of clinical communication self-efficacy and emotional intelligence decreased caregiver burden. However, emotional intelligence moderated the relationship between clinical communication self-efficacy and caregiver burden in that higher clinical communication self-efficacy was more strongly related to less burden when respondents also reported higher emotional intelligence. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study explores how 92 women disclosed their pregnancies in the workplace. Examining workplace pregnancy disclosure broadly rather than taking a dyadic approach (e.g. employee to supervisor) highlighted tensions and outcomes associated with simultaneously navigating disclosures to multiple colleagues and supervisors. Data analysis revealed four themes: (b) timing safely, (c) diffusing selectively, (d) controlling gatherings, and (e) crafting conversational tones. Findings situate workplace pregnancy disclosure as a dynamic multi-stakeholder process. Women’s accounts suggest that risk is understood as linked to potential future disclosures and the importance of emotion in crafting disclosure interactions.
