ABSTRACT Romantic partners of unemployed individuals uniquely experience stress due to spillover effects of unemployment and their role as primary support providers for the unemployed individual. The present study drew on the extended theoretical model of communal coping (TMCC) to examine a process of communal coping experienced by romantic partners (N = 285) of unemployed individuals, who completed an online survey. Analyses indicated that stress related to unemployment was negatively associated with a partner’s communal coping and communal coping was negatively associated with relational load. Perceived support from friends and family acted as a moderating influence on the relationships among stress, communal coping, and relational load. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study explores how coping and social support assist students in managing communication stressors with two key academic groups─instructors and classmates─during COVID-19. Undergraduates (N = 70) provided open-ended responses of how they cope with stressful interactions. Grounded, iterative analysis reveals two themes. First, students use problem-focused coping by seeking informational and instrumental support from peers and instructors as well as acting independently to help themselves. These actions directly manage stress. Second, students use emotion-focused coping by seeking emotional support from peers and family members as well as engaging in self-soothing. These behaviors ease distressful feelings. Aligning with the research literature, findings show that emotional support improves stress appraisal and buffers students from stress whereas informational and instrumental support provides students with adaptive coping. Study results add new insights regarding the importance of seeking peer support to help manage COVID-19-related communication stress. Recommendations are offered for instructors teaching online as COVID-19 evolves.

ABSTRACT Guided by predicted outcome value (POV) theory, we explore how instructors’ forms of address (FOA) during the first class day impact students’ POV judgments and their perceptions of instructors’ credibility and socio-communicative orientation. College students (N = 416) were randomly assigned to view one of six stimulus videos varying by FOA (e.g., “Doctor,” “Professor,” first name) and instructor biologic sex (e.g., male-presenting, female-presenting) before completing dependent measures. Results suggest female-presenting instructors are perceived to be less caring, albeit more assertive when referred to by “Doctor” or “Professor” compared to male-presenting instructors referred to by the same FOAs. Female-presenting instructors are also perceived to be more caring, yet less assertive when referred to by first name only in comparison to the male-presenting instructor referred to by the same FOA. The current study highlights the gendered expectations students have of instructors and the implications of instructor FOA during the first class day.

ABSTRACT The research reported here responds to two calls for research: 1) to study organizational communication in religious settings, and 2) to extend the study of communication beyond WEIRD samples (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic). In answering those calls, we examined aggressive superior-subordinate communication in ecclesiastical occupations (EO) in the Roman Catholic Church in India. Consistent with prior research, superior verbal aggressiveness predicted negative subordinate responses and was a stronger predicter than superior argumentativeness, which predicted positive subordinate responses. These patterns, however, were qualified by the interactions observed. Specifically, superior aggressive communication was a stronger predictor of responses among priests than sisters, and it predicted more positive job outcomes for priests (e.g., higher job satisfaction), but more negative ones for sisters (e.g., lower job satisfaction). Furthermore, the positive verbal aggressiveness-occupational outcomes relationships run counter to US-based aggressive communication theory and empirical research, as does the positive correlation observed between argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness. Results of this research underscore the importance of testing the generalizability of communication knowledge originating from WEIRD samples to non-WEIRD populations.

ABSTRACT Evangelical Christian groups have forwarded ex-gay rhetorics since the 1970s, shaping grand narratives of LGBTQIA+ exclusion within Christian spaces. Using a dialectic approach to organizational resistance, the current study traces the textual discursive interplay between narratives of the ex-gay Christian organization, CHANGED, and of the parody pro-LGBTQIA+ Christian organization UNCHANGED to uncover how LGBTQIA+ Christians resist exclusionary heteronormative grand narratives. We conducted a microstoria analysis of 108 personal narratives from both groups and found four emergent themes central to UNCHANGED members’ resistance processes: (a) narrated identity dissonance, (b) proclamation of God’s Truth, (c) mechanisms for resistance, and (d) rewards for living out God’s Truth. This study advances two important theoretical considerations: the utility of parody as an online resistance strategy and a reconceptualization of resistance as chronic (i.e., organizational resisting). Further implications, limitations, and future directions for research are discussed.

ABSTRACT Success stories are often used to promote health behaviors. This study examined how different features of others’ success stories about achieving an exercise goal influence observers’ intentions to exercise. The specific factors examined were success stories’ model similarity (similar vs. underdog model) and success attribution type (internal vs. external attribution message) on individuals’ expectations of their success and intentions to exercise. The results of an online experiment (N = 282) showed that success stories of similar models led to greater success expectancy than those of underdog models through the increased perception of model similarity. Further, success stories focusing on external – as opposed to internal – attribution resulted in greater success expectancy through increased external attribution of models’ success. Success expectancy then increased intention to exercise. This study concludes by discussing the theoretical implications for social cognitive theory and attribution theory as well as practical implications for designing health promotion messages.

ABSTRACT Grandparents in the United States play increasingly significant familial and societal roles, yet an underexplored aspect of their experiences is how the relationship between grandparents and their adult child influences the development of grandparent-grandchild relationships. To address this gap, this study explores (a) the associations between family communication patterns and grandparent-grandchild relational maintenance behaviors, and (b) the extent trust in their adult child mediates those relationships. Data from grandparents (N = 380, Mage = 57.17, SD = 9.68) revealed higher conversation orientations were indirectly associated with increased use of assurances, conflict management, positivity, advice, and social networks with the grandchild through trust in the adult child, whereas higher conformity orientations were indirectly associated with decreased use of these behaviors with the grandchild through trust in the adult child. These findings point to the complex nature of intergenerational family relationships and how trust in the adult child influences grandparent-grandchild relationships.

ABSTRACT In this essay, we analyze Perdue’s animal welfare campaign from 2016 to 2020 to isolate how demands for transparency are mediated and subverted by Perdue’s public facing rhetoric. Though Perdue’s annual releases and commitments to change nominally constitute a victory for animal welfare advocates, the company’s campaign enacts transparency as a sort of publicity for the company that belies marginal gains for the lives of chickens and may ultimately result in increased meat consumption. In providing trackable metrics, offering paternalistic justifications for their treatments of chickens, and through strategic omissions of language and visuals, Perdue satisfies demands for transparency without committing the company to meaningful changes. In that way, transparency-publicity becomes a performative end that allows the company to continue its behavior and give consumers cover for increased meat consumption. We conclude with the implications of this co-optation.

ABSTRACT This study examined how older adults’ dispositional hope was associated with the themes of up to three recalled memorable messages about aging, as well as how older adults’ own age-related communication and memorable message themes were indirectly associated with successful aging, via aging efficacy. Dispositional hope was positively associated with the recollection of memorable messages with a theme of aging is not important or aging is a subjective state that can be overcome with the right mind-set. Relative to engaged agers, bantering agers and gloomy agers reported less successful aging, via less aging efficacy. The memorable message themes were not indirectly associated with successful aging, via aging efficacy. The results suggest that people may have some agency in how well they age, and the results also inform conceptual and methodological issues in memorable messages scholarship.

ABSTRACT Drawing upon schema theory and family communication patterns theory, this study developed and validated a new measure of family coping expectations. Participants included 505 adult children who reported on their family’s expectations for how to communicate and cope with stress and adversity. Results produced a 27-item measure that assessed adults’ perceptions of their family’s coping expectations across four dimensions: rely on family support, avoid outside help, pretend you’re OK, and follow our lead. Tests of convergent and discriminant validity supported the construct validity of the FCE scale and revealed meaningful associations with family communication patterns, mental health, and family satisfaction.
