ABSTRACTHIV remains a serious problem in the U.S. particularly for men who have sex with men. PrEP is an intervention that can dramatically decrease the risk of HIV infection. Because rates of PrEP adoption have been lower than anticipated, researchers have called for new tactics for promoting PrEP. For this reason, we analyzed PrEP messaging on TikTok. In an analysis guided by the Health Belief Model, we found that discussions of PrEP benefits and barriers were most common on TikTok. Severity and susceptibility were least common. We distilled these findings into suggestions for promoting PrEP adoption.Keywords: HIVMSMHBMPrEPTikTok Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08824096.2023.2269080Additional informationNotes on contributorsJoseph SchwartzJoseph Schwartz is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northeastern University.

ABSTRACTThis study explored the influence media consumption (i.e. news websites, television networks, and social media) and health literacy have on COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy. Controlling for participant political affiliation and general vaccine hesitancy, results indicated that both social media consumption and health literacy significantly predicted COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, whereas news websites and television networks did not produce significant effects. Together, these results highlight the importance of health literacy-focused interventions, with an emphasis on social media-based content as a means of promoting COVID-19 literacy.KEYWORDS: COVID-19vaccination hesitancyhealth literacymedia consumption Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementUpon request, the dataset used in the current study can be made available by the authors.Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08824096.2023.2270904Additional informationFundingThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.Notes on contributorsAndrew C.

摘要本研究探讨媒体消费(即新闻网站、电视网络和社交媒体)和健康素养对COVID-19疫苗接种犹豫的影响。控制参与者政治派别和一般疫苗犹豫，结果表明，社交媒体消费和健康素养显著预测COVID-19疫苗犹豫，而新闻网站和电视网络不产生显著影响。总之，这些结果突出了以卫生扫盲为重点的干预措施的重要性，强调基于社交媒体的内容是促进COVID-19扫盲的一种手段。关键词:covid -19疫苗接种犹豫健康素养媒体消费披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突数据可用性声明根据要求，作者可以提供当前研究中使用的数据集。补充材料本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/08824096.2023.2270904Additional上获取。本研究没有从公共、商业或非营利部门的资助机构获得任何特定的资助。作者简介:andrew C.

ABSTRACTThe study explored how perceived parental and peer norms toward moderate drinking can be related to first-year college students’ drinking behavior across two occasions: typical days and celebrations. First-year college students were recruited to participate in an online survey (n = 127). For typical drinking, perceived peer descriptive norms during celebration showed a statistically significant relationship. Both perceived peer descriptive and injunctive norms were statistically associated with typical and celebratory drinking by first-year students. Unlike the predictions, perceived parental norms regarding moderate drinking were not associated with alcohol consumption across two occasions. The results emphasize the subtle impact of various social contexts and reference groups on the drinking habits of the first years.KEYWORDS: Social normsparental normspeer normscelebration drinkingunderage drinkingevent-specific drinkingfirst-year college students Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTThis study examined whether elevation elicited by meaningful movie clips led to helping regardless of whether a stranger’s need for help is attributed to a controllable or an uncontrollable cause. It also compared elevation against positive-valenced affective state in facilitating prosocial behavior. A randomized, between-subject laboratory experiment was conducted with 208 undergraduate participants in the United States approximately one week after they completed a pretest survey. Although participants experienced the induced emotional state, neither of these two types of positive emotions explained their helping behavior. This points to the nuanced nature of the relationships between positive emotions and helping. The role of media content types, attribution, and prosocial personality are also discussed.KEYWORDS: Meaningful mediaelevationpositive emotionshelpingattribution Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

摘要本研究考察了有意义的电影片段所引起的提升是否会导致陌生人的帮助，而不管他们的帮助需求是由可控还是不可控的原因引起的。它还比较了提升和积极的情感状态在促进亲社会行为方面的作用。在美国，208名大学生在完成测试前调查大约一周后，进行了一项随机的、受试者之间的实验室实验。虽然参与者经历了诱导的情绪状态，但这两种积极情绪都不能解释他们的帮助行为。这指出了积极情绪和帮助之间微妙关系的本质。本文还讨论了媒体内容类型、归因和亲社会人格的作用。关键词:有意义媒体提升积极情绪庇护归因披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本研究项目在招募参与者前经学校人类学科委员会批准(保证号:IRB00000446)。请参阅开放科学基金会网站上附录A的CFA结果。请参阅开放科学基金会网站上的全民教育结果。请参阅开放科学基金会网站上的CFA和EFA结果。作者简介赵丹阳(博士)，西伊利诺伊大学传播系助理教授。她的研究侧重于从心理学角度理解媒体的使用和影响。她的工作研究了媒体信息对行为的影响，以及媒体消费、积极情绪和亲社会之间的关系。Arthur a .

ABSTRACTDespite the United States government agencies’ efforts, inconsistent messaging about the causes of the 2022 monkeypox outbreak in the U.S. facilitates the potential stigmatization of gay and bisexual communities. Grounded in the model of stigma communication, this research describes how Twitter users communicate about the monkeypox outbreak and sexual minorities by analyzing US-based tweets containing the following search strings: “gay,” “bisexual,” or “monkeypox.” Using natural language processing (i.e. n-gram and sentiment analyses), this study uncovered that among tweets mentioning “gay” or “bisexual” with “monkeypox” together, stigmatizing phrases such as “gay disease” and negatively valenced words were common. Results were discussed in terms of the model of stigma communication and the potential influences of such communication on Twitter to a broader society.KEYWORDS: Stigma communicationsexual minoritiesmonkeypoxTwittertext analysis Data availability statementData are available from the author.AcknowledgmentsThe author thanks Steve Rains for his feedback on an earlier version of this manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThere are no relevant financial or non-financial competing interests to report.Notes on contributorsHyeonchang GimHyeonchang Gim (M.A., the University of Arizona, 2021) is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication at the University of Arizona.
