  • Fueling the fire

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Ellen C Reinhart et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2026

    The 2024 US presidential election unfolded in an environment of heightened polarization, widespread distrust, and unprecedented public anger. Drawing on the Anger Activism Model (AAM), we examined this period of history to assess how anger interacts with external political efficacy to shape opposition toward democratic behaviors and support for partisan and political violence. Using data from a rolling cross‐sectional national survey of US adults…

  • Understanding the Factors That May Influence African American MSM’s Acceptance of a Theoretical HIV Vaccine

    Open AccessMia Ann Xu, Jasmin Choi et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2026

    An HIV vaccine is crucial for African American men who have sex with men (MSM) as they are disproportionately impacted by HIV in the United States. Successful vaccine uptake at levels sufficient to protect individuals and reduce transmission requires more than developing an effective HIV vaccine-it necessitates a strong intention to get vaccinated. Understanding the perceptions, attitudes, and concerns surrounding HIV vaccination among African Am…

  • Eyes on VR

    Open AccessHee Jung Cho, Sue Lim et al.ARTICLEHuman Behavior and Emerging…2025

    The causal chain from message exposure to reception to effects is widely accepted as the basic explanatory model for communication and message effects. However, the chain’s links were often studied in isolation, leaving measurement gaps that compromise the ecological validity and practical utility of experimental research. Here, we introduce a VR‐based paradigm that encompasses a realistic message reception context, that is, a simulated car ride …

  • Examining the Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Nostalgia Appeals

    Qijia Ye, Monique Mitchell Turner et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2025

    Obesity rates remain high among U.S. adults, especially rural residents. Research has shown that nostalgia appeals effectively promote several healthy behaviors. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying nostalgia appeals remain unclear. This study examined the effects of nostalgia appeals on intention to increase exercise and shed light on how nostalgia affected persuasive outcomes. We anticipated that nostalgia appeals would persuade peo…

  • Do Covid-19 related primary emotions affect risk perceptions, efficacy beliefs, and information seeking and behavior? Examining emotions as audience segments

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Jong In Lim et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2024

    Introduction Primary emotions among the populace during global health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, provide valuable insights. Guided by appraisal theories of emotions, this study explores emotional segmentation by mapping primary emotions related to COVID-19 and investigating their impact on cognitive and behavioral outcomes, including risk perceptions, efficacy beliefs, behavioral intentions, prevention behaviors, and information seeki…

  • The effects of moral norms and anticipated guilt on Covid19 prevention behaviors

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Youjin Jang et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2024

  • The Role of Collective Group Orientation and Social Norms on Physical Distancing Behaviors for Disease Prevention

    Open AccessHyung-Ro Yoon, Hyungro Yoon et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    To reduce the impact of communicable diseases like COVID-19, collective action is required and likely to be susceptible to normative influence as well as whether people are more or less collectively oriented. We extend the theory of normative social behavior (TNSB) to account for group orientation and predict the relationships between social norms and physical distancing behaviors. Using a rolling cross-sectional design during 17 weeks of the pan…

  • Development and validation of the commitment to social activism scale using the Thurstone scaling procedure

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Rachel Wade et al.ARTICLECommunication Research Reports2024

    This paper centers on social activism, a distinctive form of behavior characterized by escalating actions that vary in degrees of difficulty and commitment. Rather than adopting a Likert scaling approach, we embrace a Thurstone technique to construct a commitment to social activism scale (CSAS). We incorporate focus groups, online survey data, and tests of validity in a multistage approach. The validity of CSAS was examined using convergent (acti…

  • Believe it or not

    Open AccessSanguk Lee, Hyesun Choung et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs2024Referencias: 7

    As individuals make belief decisions on truths and falsehoods, a systematic organization of (mis)information emerges. In this study, we employ a network approach to illustrate how a sample of Americans share a cognitive network of false and true statements related to COVID-19. Moreover, we examine what factors are associated with the formation of misbeliefs. Findings from our US-based rolling cross-sectional survey data indicate that conservative…

  • The madness of misperceptions

    Open AccessDustin Carnahan, Ahn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Communication2023

    Drawing from established theoretical traditions in cognitive consistency, motivated reasoning, heuristic–systematic processing, and the anger-activism model, we extend existing work linking anger with misperceptions by specifying three distinct ways anger might contribute to the formation of misperceptions: Increasing reliance on partisan heuristics, influencing political information-seeking behavior, and moderating the influence of partisan medi…

  • Predicting Breastfeeding Intentions

    Aubrey Van Kirk Villalobos, Monique Mitchell Turner et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    Breastfeeding is a health promoting social behavior but statistics suggest a persistent disparity of lower rates among African American mothers. The Theory of Normative Social Behavior (TNSB) explains when and how norms influence behaviors, but has produced inconsistent results with respect to proposed moderators group identity and injunctive norms (IN), limiting its predictive value in diverse cultural groups. Cultural norms are one of many infl…

  • Rumour spread and control during the West African Ebola epidemic in Liberia

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Skylar Lisse et al.ARTICLEDisasters2023Referencias: 18

    The severity of the 2014-15 West African Ebola epidemic in Liberia was coupled with widespread misunderstanding of the virus among citizens and the proliferation of rumours. Rumour control during outbreaks is imperative to reduce the public's fears about a disease. In Liberia, a tracker system was developed to detect rumours as quickly as possible through SMS (short message service) text messaging. This study focused on assessing rumour circulati…

  • Speaking of Values

    Jenn Anderson, Maria Knight Lapinski et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2022

    This study introduces the concept of value-expressive communication and examines its relationship with behavioral intent. Value-expressive communication is conceptualized as the verbal output of a value-expressive attitude. Value-expressive communication about exercise is examined in relationship to strength of religious faith, exercise attitudes, communication frequency, and intentions to exercise among a sample of self-identified Christians. Th…

  • Breastfeeding in Context

    Open AccessAubrey Van Kirk Villalobos, Catasha Davis et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2021

    The purpose of this study was to describe social norms and salient social identities related to breastfeeding intentions among African American mothers in Washington, D.C. Five focus groups were held with 30 mothers who gave birth to a child between 2016 and 2019. Two coders conducted pragmatic thematic analysis. This study demonstrated that women hold different identities relevant to making infant feeding decisions, with mother being primary and…

  • Guilt Appeals in Persuasive Communication

    Open AccessMonique Mitchell Turner, Monique Turner et al.ARTICLECommunication Studies2021

    Research examining the effects of guilt appeals on attitudes and behavioral intentions has been inconsistent. Some scholars have found that guilt appeal intensity has a curvilinear relationship with attitudes and intentions, whereas others have reported that the relationship is linear. Random-effects meta-analysis (k = 26) was used to investigate this issue. More intense guilt appeals led to greater levels of perceived guilt (r = .29, k = 24). Me…

  • Moral dilemmas and trust in leaders during a global health crisis

    Open AccessJim A C Everett, Clara Colombatto et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021Citada por: 5Referencias: 62

    Trust in leaders is central to citizen compliance with public policies. One potential determinant of trust is how leaders resolve conflicts between utilitarian and non-utilitarian ethical principles in moral dilemmas. Past research suggests that utilitarian responses to dilemmas can both erode and enhance trust in leaders: sacrificing some people to save many others ('instrumental harm') reduces trust, while maximizing the welfare of everyone equ…

  • Designing Effective Tsunami Messages

    Open AccessJeannette Sutton, Sarah C Vo et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2018

    Although tsunamis have the potential to be extremely destructive, relatively little research on tsunami messaging has taken place. Discovering whether tsunami warning messages can be written in a way that leads to increased protective response is crucial, particularly given the increased use of mobile message services and the role they play in notifying the public of imminent threats such as tsunami and other hazards. The purpose of this study wa…

    Open AccessOllie Ganz, Laurel E Curry et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2018

    Purpose: There is a paucity of data on barriers to mental health treatment utilization among residents of Wards 7 and 8 in Washington, DC, despite exposure to many environmental factors that are associated with poor mental health outcomes and the high prevalence of mental health problems among residents. The objective of this study was to examine barriers to mental healthcare utilization among residents of Wards 7 and 8. Methods: This study inclu…

  • The Relationship Between Advertising-Induced Anger and Self-efficacy on Persuasive Outcomes

    Vinu Ilakkuvan, Monique Mitchell Turner et al.ARTICLEFamily & Community Health2016

    Turner's Anger Activism Model (AAM) contends anger and efficacy interact in a unique way to determine message responses to campaign materials. This study tested the AAM using responses to 2 truth antismoking advertisements collected in August-October 2014 via an online, cross-sectional survey of 15- to 21-year-olds. Those aware of each of the truth advertisements (n = 319 for each) were organized into 4 anger/efficacy groups. Analysis of variance…

  • Reactance, Restoration, and Cognitive Structure

    Open AccessElena Bessarabova, Edward L Fink et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2013Citada por: 8Referencias: 30

    This study (N = 143) examined the effects of freedom threat on cognitive structures, using recycling as its topic. The results of a 2(Freedom Threat: low vs. high) × 2(Postscript: restoration vs. filler) plus 1(Control) experiment indicated that, relative to the control condition, high freedom threat created a boomerang effect for the targeted attitude (recycling) as the attitude and behavioral intention changed in the opposite direction to the o…
