Beyond a fragmented account of conflicts in communication
Numerous global trends related to communicative conflicts—like widespread public dissent, the increasing fragmentation of the digital media landscape, the fast-paced dissemination of mis- and disinformation, polarization of public debates, and delegitimizing populist rhetoric—form a perfect storm that significantly disrupts today’s society on multiple levels. Against this backdrop, research on content, causes, consequences, and counter-strategies…
Trust Erosion Framework for Organisational Responses to and Management of Global Emergencies
In response to the societal crisis of trust widely documented by researchers and pollsters, this conceptual paper proposes a Trust Erosion Framework (TEF). By drawing analogies with the process of soil erosion, we postulate that the erosion of trust proceeds in stages: detachment, transportation and deposition. Furthermore, erosion of trust may be precipitated by the gravitational pulls of sticky and spillover crises, moderate weather events (e.g…
How Moral Appraisals Function in Sticky Crises
This framework advocates for theory‐driven research on moral outrage‐inducing sticky crises, aiming to clarify three key areas: (1) how the three preventable crisis clusters (i.e., human‐error, management misconduct and scansis) and information‐giving strategies (i.e., instructing and adjusting information) shape stakeholders' perceptions of moral outrage‐inducing sticky crises; (2) how crisis‐induced other‐condemning emotions (i.e., contempt, an…

Effects of Individuals’ Cultural Orientations and Trust in Government Health Communication Sources on Behavioral Intentions During a Pandemic
Public health messages disseminated by trusted government authorities are likely to have more influence over individuals’ intentions and behaviors. However, individuals worldwide have different levels of trust in government authorities, which leads to varying levels of compliance intentions. Additionally, these trust levels may vary during major public crises, such as pandemics. Based on a COVID-19 pandemic communication survey (N = 3,065) dissem…
