ABSTRACT Two experiments examined whether perceived content challenge, self-control, and trait variables predicted participants’ choice of a spoiled/unspoiled movie review. Study 1 found that perceived content challenge influenced spoiler selection as a function of need for cognition. Self-control had no effect. In Study 2, participants chose spoilers when content was perceived to be cognitively challenging but not affectively challenging. Need for affect moderated these effects. Choosing spoiler-laden reviews was also associated with reduced anticipated enjoyment and intention to watch the full film. The results point to the importance of trait and content variables in spoiler selection.

ABSTRACT Cyberbullying victimization is a key risk factor facing contemporary young men. Parental internet supervision is thought to be effective in mitigating these risks in mixed-gender samples, but the efficacy of internet supervision for young men specifically is unclear. This study examined the effects of internet supervision upon cybervictimisation among adolescent boys in an all-boys school (Mage = 13.44), moderated by internet use and availability of internet-enabled devices in the home. Both active and restrictive forms of supervision were conditionally related to increased cybervictimisation, suggesting that the efficacy of internet supervision may be highly sensitive to contextual factors.

ABSTRACT Situating gaming as a cultural practice aimed at constructing issues of power through cultural discussions necessitates a framework of discourse of gaming to explain how meanings around gaming practice develop. Built on the premise that gaming offers multimodal opportunities for interaction, we introduce the discourse of gaming framework to connect processes of boundary work, definition making, and legitimization to the activities of gaming, the gamer’s identity, and the consequences of gaming. Through a survey of Reddit gaming fan communities, discourse of gaming here reflects the power perceived outsiders (e.g., journalists, academics, and politicians) have on shaping the discourse.

ABSTRACT We extended the influence of presumed media influence model by taking interpersonal communication into account. Our survey (N = 642) results revealed that individuals’ attention to COVID-19 information on social media and their engagement in interpersonal communication about the disease independently and jointly affected presumed others’ attention. The more that individuals engaged in interpersonal communication, the less that their attention to mediated content factored into how they perceived others’ attention to such content. Presumed others’ attention, in turn, was positively associated with presuming that others were influenced by COVID-19 misinformation and the intention to correct, but not censor, misinformation.

ABSTRACT This study traces the history of conservative media to the late 1930s and the radio broadcasting activities of Representative Martin Dies Jr., who chaired the House Special Committee on Un-American Activities 1938–1944. Using archival research and critical discourse analysis, this inquiry shows how Dies wielded his congressional position to build an anti-New Deal media apparatus. It analyzes how his national network radio speeches engaged audiences and associated New Deal liberalism with communism and “un-American” activities. Dies positioned himself as a mainstream mediator for populist conservative beliefs and established an enduring model of how to shape and drive media coverage.
本研究将保守派媒体的历史追溯到20世纪30年代末,以及1938年至1944年担任众议院非美活动特别委员会主席的众议员小马丁·戴斯(Martin Dies Jr.)的广播活动。通过档案研究和批判性话语分析,本研究展示了戴斯如何利用他的国会职位来建立一个反新政的媒体机构。它分析了他的全国网络广播演讲如何吸引听众,并将新政自由主义与共产主义和“非美国”活动联系起来。戴斯将自己定位为民粹主义保守信仰的主流调解人,并建立了一个如何塑造和推动媒体报道的持久模式。

ABSTRACT This study tested a model for predicting parental mediation of teenagers’ exposure to personalized advertising and the preceding online data collection. Data was collected through a survey of 354 parents of teenagers and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The model showed that parents are more inclined to engage in parental mediation when they have greater levels of concern and self-efficacy. Parental concerns were higher when parents perceived personalized advertising as inappropriate. While privacy literacy predicted more self-efficacy, perceptions of inappropriateness predicted lower self-efficacy. Disliking of personalized advertising only had a direct negative relationship with active parental mediation.

ABSTRACT This study examined viewers’ reasoning about justice and enjoyment of crime drama in interactive movie events. Based on the integrated model of enjoyment for crime drama, we examined the role of viewers’ judgment of justice for enjoyment and theoretically discussed the role of virtually present co-viewers. We conducted a lab experiment with N= 148 participants watching a full interactive movie manipulating the viewers’ notion of what is just with what is presented in screen. Results confirm that viewers’ enjoyment is a function of the viewers’ judgment of justice and that virtually present co-viewers can serve as a justice compass.

ABSTRACT There is a pressing need to understand whether using social media might be linked to mental health and if yes, how. The findings of this study (N = 475) show that individuals who received more Likes on social media posts reported more friend support. However, what matters to mental health is the level of expectancy violation of the number of received Likes. The two dimensions of expectancy violation of receiving Likes (number vs. responder) have different effects on the outcome variables. Theoretical and practical implications about how social media influences friend support and mental health for young adults are discussed.

ABSTRACT Rural America has been suffering from insufficient civic resources and is often characterized as a “civic desert.” Drawing upon the Communication Infrastructure Theory, this study surveys residents in Oregon (N = 564) and explores the ways in which social and mobile news use, along with other traditional storytelling networks, relate to rural and non-rural residents’ civic participation. Results showed that the types of communities moderated the effects of social and mobile news usage on online civic participation. This study expands upon scholarly concerns about the possible side effects of emerging media storytelling networks on civic life in local community contexts.
