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 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 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 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.

ABSTRACT Political debates provide candidates the opportunity to brand themselves to voters. Through an analysis of survey responses from participants who viewed one of two 2018 U.S. Senate debates, the current study incorporates a political marketing perspective to analyze how televised political debates influence voters’ brand associations toward candidates. This study introduces the concept of Debate Candidate Branding, where participating in a debate is more likely to generate positive associations with supporters than it is to generate negative associations with detractors. Each of the candidates in this study saw more positive in-group associations than negative out-group associations, highlighting the potential of debates as branding opportunities. Moreover, brand favorability, i.e., how many positive or negative thoughts individuals had toward candidates, was significantly associated with changes in candidate evaluations. Additionally, respondents offered more brand associations about the candidates as people than they did about the policy positions or party affiliation of the candidates.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of two types of perceived online social support (i.e., informational support and emotional support) on Parkinson’s disease patients’ psychological quality of life. Also, this study examined the mediating effects of uncertainty between perceived informational support and psychological quality life, and the mediating effects of contentment between perceived emotional support and psychological quality of life. Parkinson’s disease patients (N = 124) from three different online peer support groups participated in a survey. The results revealed that perceived emotional support increased psychological quality of life via contentment. Practical implications and future research recommendations were proposed.

ABSTRACT The current study examined excessive affection, the perception that someone is receiving more affection than they would prefer. The study posed several hypotheses over three studies that all dealt with various psychosocial correlates of excessive affection. Specifically, the first two studies examined correlates of a more general perception of excessive affection (which were largely unsupported except for both anxious and avoidant attachment), while the third study examined correlates of a more specific perception of excessive affection within romantic relationships. Nearly all of the hypotheses were supported in the third study, including relationships with stress, loneliness, and relational satisfaction.

ABSTRACT On social question and answer sites (Q&As), users engage each other in a community built on seeking and providing informational support. On these sites, question askers select and assess advice provided by other users. Using the dual-process theory of supportive communication and advice response theory, we examined how message features and user characteristics influence question askers’ selection and evaluation of the quality of provided answers. Through a content analysis of Yahoo! Answers questions and answers (N = 450), we found that message features signaling social relationships were associated with a question asker’s selection and rating of answers. We discuss theoretical implications of these findings.
