ABSTRACT This study examined outcomes of parents’ relational maintenance in terms of college students’ resilience, family communal coping, and stress. We employed the theory of resilience and relational load to examine the associations in the context of family communication. Participants included 322 college students who completed an online questionnaire. Results indicated that college students’ resilience mediates the relationship between parents’ relational maintenance strategies with them and their perceived stress, and that communal coping serves as a mediator between parents’ relational maintenance strategies and college students’ resilience. Lastly, a serial mediation model indicated that communal coping and college students’ resilience serially mediate the association between their parents’ relational maintenance strategies with them and their perceived stress. Overall, this study highlights the importance of parents employing parent-child relational maintenance tactics and the positive impacts for college students.

ABSTRACT Teachers routinely face dissatisfying work conditions and may express their frustrations to their peers. This study explores the extent to which causal attributions of work-related doubt, occupational commitment, and intention to quit influence teachers’ willingness to voice their concerns about their occupation. Through a survey of 210 teachers in the United States, we found that teachers with a personal control orientation were less likely to express prohibitive voice. Moreover, both occupational commitment and intention to quit positively predicted teachers’ prohibitive voice. Our findings provide new insights into how teachers may use voice as a communication strategy to defend their occupation from potential harms. Implications and limitations of the study are further discussed.

ABSTRACT Many scholars use Green and Brock’s (2000) transportation scale to measure the degree to which audiences become absorbed into a narrative. In a pair of studies, we explore if the scale performs the same in relation to text-based versus audio-visual (AV) narratives. In Study 1, 125 participants were exposed to one of two versions (text or AV) of the same narrative. A confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the scale is not unidimensional and the factor structure is not consistent between formats. Measurement invariance across the text and AV groups was not supported. In Study 2, a larger (N=498) more diverse sample was employed, as well as different stimuli. Again the scale was not unidimensional and measurement invariance was not supported. These results indicate the scale may not be valid for audio-visual narratives, and also suggest that the concept of transportation itself may be distinct depending on the medium.

ABSTRACT In a 2 (choice) X 2 (message format) study (N = 283), participants were randomly assigned to either have a choice or no choice in message format and to read either a narrative or a non-narrative. They then completed a quiz on the material. We examined whether dispositional tendency to become transported into a narrative (transportability) would increase learning from narrative material, and whether manipulations would affect quiz scores, satisfaction, or performance self-esteem. Choice led to higher quiz scores but did not improve satisfaction or performance self-esteem. Transportability did not predict participants’ choice in material, but it was correlated with higher quiz scores for narrative readers. Findings suggest some educational benefit from choice and matching to narrative-relevant personality traits.

ABSTRACT Employing theoretical frameworks regarding people’s perception of media effects (e.g. third-person effect), this study examines how people perceive the effects of fake news, what may lead to these perceptions, and how people act on them. Findings from an online survey provide evidence that people perceive fake news to have negative influence on themselves and others, with greater influence on others than themselves. This study revealed that the extended internal political efficacy scale – the conventional internal political efficacy scale with a measure specific to fake news – serves as an antecedent of the perceived influence of fake news on oneself, others, and the self-other perceptual disparity. Further, the perceptions of fake news effects on oneself and others, separately and jointly, were significantly associated with several likely behaviors including support for fake news regulation, social media withdrawal, and information sharing on social media.

ABSTRACT This study tests arguments from the situational theory in the context of CSR communication with information processing as an antecedent. Differential message framing is examined as a moderating variable. A 4 × 1 online experiment was conducted to examine how differential CSR message framing may impact the relationship between different types of information processing and individuals’ problem recognition, constraint recognition, and involvement recognition about an environmental issue to drive information seeking behaviors. Structural equation modeling was used to examine significant paths between variables, thus creating a proposed model for understanding how people process information and how this can guide CSR communication strategy. This study aims to fill a theoretical gap in our understanding of CSR communication by examining the effect of information processing on individuals’ CSR communication response.

ABSTRACT Humans are highly social beings who need intimate relationships to thrive and survive. Integral to human physical and emotional wellness is the need for affection. A substantial body of evidence has found that expressing and receiving affection with significant others is associated with a multitude of positive health outcomes. The primary goal of the current study was to create a generalizable typology of affectionate behaviors embedded within close relationships and experienced within the daily lives of U.S. American adults from across the country. The study identified 13 discrete forms of daily affectionate communication. Implications for such a typology of daily affection within the United States are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the agenda-setting theory in the context of social media through dynamic social network analyses of 102,145 Tweets in a week after Paris attack on Twitter. Results indicate that professional mass media organizations still hold a greater agenda-setting power than individual opinion leaders for setting the public agenda, as they obtain significantly more tweets, mentions, and replies from the public. While the overall media agenda significantly correlates with the agenda set by the individual opinion leaders on Paris attack, time-series analysis reveals the intermedia agenda-setting effects between mass media and individual opinion leaders on Twitter are immediate and decrease as time elapses. Methodological and theoretical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study considers ways to improve conceptualization of listening types through exploration of widely used listening scales: the 24-item and 8-item revised Listening Styles Profiles (LSP-R and LSP-R8) and the revised Listening Concepts Inventory (LCI-R). Using an online survey, we examined the ways that these scales correlate within and across each other. Our results demonstrate several robust correlations between the subscales of each listening inventory. Additionally, our results echo previous findings, showing strong correlations between different subscales of the LCI-R and the LSP-R, while also adding to the literature by illuminating previously unidentified correlations between the LCI-R and the LSP-R8. These results carry significant implications for future listening scholarship related to measurement within and across each subscale for these important listening types and styles.

ABSTRACT Health information can be difficult to understand, and physician analogies might enhance patient understanding. The present study investigated if physician analogies enhance participants’ objective and perceived understanding, and perceptions of clarity. The experiment consisted of a 2 (familiar/unfamiliar health condition) x 4 (no analogies, diagnosis analogies, treatment analogies, both analogies) design with a within-subjects component of delivery format (video/vignette). An actor physician delivered a video message, diagnosing participants with a health issue. Then participants read a vignette of another physician diagnosing them with the other health issue. Participants were asked if healthcare provider analogies are helpful, and in which medical situations they are helpful. Though no main effects were found for analogies enhancing understanding-related variables, explanations containing analogies in vignette form resulted in increased objective understanding. Additionally, most participants indicated provider analogies are useful, especially when describing complex health issues.
