ABSTRACT Chatbots provide functional and social support in various contexts. They are often designed with humanlike features. This study examines how chatbots’ assigned names (humanlike vs. neutral vs. machinelike) and communication contexts (functional vs. social) influence users’ willingness to disclose personal information. We conducted a 3 × 2 “between-subjects” online experiment with random assignments of 299 participants. The results showed that a functional communication context elicited greater participants’ willingness to disclose information, but the impact of chatbot names was not significant. These findings provide an extended understanding of the Computers Are Social Actors paradigm and may inspire the exploration of conditional effects in privacy research. The practical implications for context-aware designs are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study explored whether boundary expansion is related to increased life satisfaction. In order to examine this possibility, we conducted two studies. In Study 1, we used an experiment to promote either state boundary expansion or state escapism. Although the manipulation was unsuccessful, we did find a positive correlation between expansion and life satisfaction, while escape was not related to life satisfaction. Study 2 examined the relationship between trait boundary expansion and life satisfaction using a large national survey. Results showed that boundary expansion was positively related to life satisfaction and escape was negatively related to life satisfaction.

ABSTRACT This research investigates whether stereotypes activated by common media portrayals of Black athletes that emphasize physicality influence social judgments outside the sporting context. Results of a 2 (athlete race) X 2 (athlete frame) between-subjects experiment indicated that when an athlete was framed in terms of physical attributes, participants evaluated a suspect in a subsequent news story based on overlapping qualities related to criminality, regardless of athlete race. However, when an athlete was described in terms of their mental skills, physical qualities were more likely to be ascribed to a Black athlete and to impact evaluations of the crime suspect.

ABSTRACT A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to examine proposition 2 of relational turbulence theory, that interference from a partner heightens affective arousal toward the partner. The meta-analysis revealed a positive average correlation between interference from a partner and anger toward that partner (k = 15, N = 6114, r = .419 [95% CI: .376, .459]) with a prediction interval ranging from .264 to .553. Upon uncovering heterogeneity, study moderators were examined to explain variability in study effect sizes including (a) dating versus married samples, (b) average length of romantic relationship, (c) percent of female participants in the study, (d) average age of participants, (e) author research teams, (f) before COVID-19 versus during COVID-19 data collections, and (g) discrete anger measurements versus anger subsumed in negative affect measurements. These study moderators were unable to explain heterogeneity in effect sizes. The computed summary effect and prediction interval support the theoretical logic of proposition 2 from relational turbulence theory.
摘要:本文采用随机效应荟萃分析来检验关系动荡理论的命题2，即来自伴侣的干扰会增强对伴侣的情感唤醒。元分析显示，来自伴侣的干扰与对伴侣的愤怒之间存在正相关(k = 15, N = 6114, r = 6114)。[95% CI: .376， .459])，预测区间为.264至.553。在发现异质性后，对研究调节因子进行了检查，以解释研究效应大小的可变性，包括(a)约会与已婚样本，(b)浪漫关系的平均长度，(c)研究中女性参与者的百分比，(d)参与者的平均年龄，(e)作者研究团队，(f)在COVID-19之前与在COVID-19数据收集期间，以及(g)离散愤怒测量与包含在负面影响测量中的愤怒。这些研究调节因子无法解释效应大小的异质性。计算的汇总效应和预测区间支持关系湍流理论中命题2的理论逻辑。

ABSTRACT In accordance with concepts forwarded by the Extended Parallel Process Model fear of injuries and concussions were explored among youth hockey parents. Specifically, credibility and parental coach satisfaction were considered as other potential explanatory factors within the framework of EPPM. Results indicate that coach credibility and coach satisfaction are unrelated to fear associated with injuries and concussions. The caring and trustworthy dimensions of credibility, as well as coach satisfaction were associated with as well as likelihood to report to injuries, but not concussions, to coaches.

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has created the possibility of a machine agent serving as a relationship partner. Though this may sound like a radical idea, this type of technology is already available. To understand this new and unique phenomenon, the present study investigates perceptions of an AI romantic partner in a serial multiple mediator model. Based on data collected from male, undergraduate students, the study finds that the perceived social presence of an AI romantic partner leads to greater perceived realism of interacting with the AI, which fosters more favorable attitudes toward the AI. Finally, more favorable attitudes lead to greater intentions to adopt the AI. Collectively, the findings suggest the need to further investigate how people perceive personalized AI agents in relation to their personal and social life.

ABSTRACT The study of sport fandom has increased throughout the years as sport is often viewed as a microcosm of the larger society. To date, sports and social justice movements are extensively intertwined, and now, simply rooting for a team may indicate one’s personal stance on societal issues. Therefore, this study sought to understand how one’s fandom, knowledge of systematic racism, systemic racism, and BLM misconceptions relates to perceptions of athlete activism. Results indicate that fans (N = 153) who watch for entertainment are the most supportive of athlete’s using their platforms, whereas those who believe that athletes should “shut up and dribble” possess a lesser understanding of systematic and systemic racism and higher levels of BLM misunderstanding.

ABSTRACT There has been limited evidence regarding how disaster message features and source of social media communication independently and jointly affect users’ engagement behaviors. We conducted a content analysis of tweets collected from the Ariana Grande concert terrorist attack. Results from negative binomial regressions (N = 687) showed that the social support function of tweets affected reactive engagement, a higher level of content richness increased engagement, and source type moderated the effects of communication styles on engagement during the terrorist attack. For example, traditional media (vs. individuals) adopting an informal tone had a higher level of reactive and proactive engagement.

ABSTRACT Hope is a social cognition that involves personal agency and creative thinking about how to achieve an individual goal through interpersonal communication. Regression results show that social cognition skills differ in their effect on a person’s hope. Social sensitivity and situational understanding both predict hope. Interestingly, perceived skill in social expression does not. These results suggest that communication training designed to facilitate hope is more likely to be effective when focused on active listening and social situational understanding than on articulate personal self-expression designed to influence or persuade.
