Situated Embodied Affordances
Integrating a techno-embodied perspective, mobile affordance theory, and critical disability studies, this study investigates how people with disabilities navigate everyday smartphone practices. Using a mixed-method design—combining smartphone log analysis ( n = 90), field observations, and in-situ interviews ( n = 20)—the study identifies four recurring smartphone use patterns: deeply embedded use, path-dependent use, hyper-checking practices, a…

Embodied Experiences
People experience, engage, and interact with their living world not as disembodied minds, but as embodied beings and motivated actors. The fifteen contributions gathered in this special issue collectively mirror the essential terrain of embodied health experiences in the Chinese context. The collective findings move the field beyond merely describing cultural differences to demanding a fundamental re-theorization of core communication concepts an…
The thousand faces of images in AI news
Existing research on media coverage of AI has mostly focused on textual analysis with a lack of attention to visual factors presented in news. Moreover, studies of visual framing often rely on a small sample of manually labeled images and thus suffer from a low ecological validity. To address these issues, we used image data obtained from AItopics to cluster the images through the Resnet50 deep learning model and Kmeans++. Three major visual fram…
Profiling visual illness narratives
Visual narrative plays a significant role in engaging people to donate to online crowdfunding campaigns. This article investigates visual illness narrative patterns (VINPs) and evaluates their impact on medical crowdfunding. In Study 1, 11,445 images featured in 824 medical crowdfunding campaigns were analysed and yielded four major VINPs: normality pattern, debility pattern, health-to-illness transition pattern and embedded-transition pattern . …
Moral attitudes towards effort and efficiency
In some cultures, merely exerting effort is considered virtuous, even when the effort is inefficient. Our study examines how this moral attitude towards effort (relative to efficiency) has evolved historically across two distinct sociopolitical and linguistic contexts: the People’s Republic of China and the United States, using natural language processing techniques. Specifically, two formal political corpora were used—the People’s Daily (1950–20…
Unraveling moral and emotional discourses on social media
Mounting studies have suggested that messages featuring morality and emotion are more likely to go viral on social media platforms. Our study investigated three controversial events intensely discussed on Weibo (the Chinese equivalent of Twitter), with a focus on the linkage between morality/emotion and social media in a non-Western cultural context. We found (1) more moral content than non-moral content in the online discussion across the three …
Emerging media
This study aims to shed light on the conceptual implications of emerging media or emergent media from a transdisciplinary perspective. Drawing on the philosophical thoughts of complex dynamic systems and emergentism, this study reviews the literature across various disciplines bearing on emerging media and illustrates the value of invoking the concept to understand the fast-evolving communication technologies. Emerging media is defined as complex…

The gendered lens of AI
This study investigates gender representation in artificial intelligence (AI)-related images across various digital spaces to understand potential biases and visual narratives in the AI domain. We analyzed a dataset of 28,199 images from news media, technology news websites, social media, knowledge-sharing platforms, and other digital spaces. Our findings revealed the prevalence of male faces and the consistent underrepresentation of women across…
Socioeconomic status, communication activity patterns, and subjective well‐being
This study investigated the relationship between subjective/objective socioeconomic status (SES) and self/society‐oriented subjective well‐being (SWB) and the moderation effect of communication activity patterns in a nationally representative sample of Chinese citizens. We found that both subjective and objective SES were related to SWB, but the association varied by SES type and age group. Three kinds of communication activity patterns emerged a…
Nonsmokers’ Responses to Online E-Cigarette Commercials
Objectives: With mounting evidence on health risks caused by e-cigarette consumption, it is of great necessity to explore not only smokers’ but also nonsmokers’ responses to e-cigarette marketing messages, such as online commercials. Employing both psychophysiological and self-report measures, this study examined nonsmoking young adults’ cognitive, emotional, and attitudinal reactions to two major message features used in e-cigarette commercials:…

Covid-19 Vaccines on TikTok
Focusing on social media affordances and China's social/political context, the present study analyzed the digital communication practices about COVID-19 vaccines on a popular social media platform-TikTok-which is called DouYin in China. Overall, this study identified five major forces partaking in constructing the discourses, with government agencies and state media being the dominant contributors. Furthermore, video posters demonstrated differen…
Ingroup identification moderates blame attributions for the Covid‐19 crisis, and willingness to help ingroup and outgroup members
The present studies focussed on how blame attributions for an existing problem and decisions to help those negatively impacted by it are affected by group membership and social identity considerations. This was investigated in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, asking British nationals about their attributions regarding the pandemic in terms of culpability of the British national ingroup and the Chinese, a national outgroup to the participants…
Chinese Adolescents’ Academic Stress and Smartphone Addiction
The current study examined how academic stress, depression, and usage types were related to smartphone addiction among Chinese adolescents living in underdeveloped areas. A survey was administered to a sample of 1,718 students (Mage = 14.63) from 18 different middle and high schools in China. Based on a moderated-mediation model, the findings revealed that academic stress was positively related to smartphone addiction, and depression mediated thi…
Social Support and Connective Affordances
Focusing on the new Super-Topics Platform (STP) of Weibo, this study examined microblog users' responses to the support seeking of early Covid-19 patients suffering the first outbreak in China. A total of 853 patients' support-seeking messages, along with 81,000 comments to 270 patients' help-requests, were crawled and analyzed. Results showed that content characteristics influenced endorsing, sharing, and commenting by users. Furthermore, the st…

Benefit-Seeking or Risk-Taking? Examining the Portrayal of Cosmetic Surgery in Chinese News, 2000–2019
Analyzing 311 news articles published in representative Chinese newspapers, this study investigated how cosmetic surgery (CS) was represented in Chinese media from 2000 to 2019. Employing a coding scheme based on prior literature and sampled data, the study analyzed both features of the articles and profiles of the patients in the media. Results showed significant differences in media reporting across issue categories, reporting frames (benefit-f…
Objective Facts or Misleading Hype? Associations between Features of E-Cigarette Marketing and Sales on a Chinese E-Commerce Platform
Background : Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been increasingly advertised and marketed in China in recent years. This study examined the practice and impact of e-cigarette online marketing on a major retail website-Tmall.com. Methods : Data were obtained by crawling 449 online pages of e-cigarette marketing. Content analysis was conducted to summarize the marketing practices for four types of e-cigarettes, and multilevel modeling (MLM) …
Representations of electronic cigarettes in Chinese media
Overall, E-cigarettes have not been a topic at the top of media agenda; however, we have identified a considerable growth of coverage about the potential concerns regarding young people's adoption of E-cigarettes advocated by parents and educators
The Museum as a platform for tobacco promotion in China
The China Tobacco Museum in Shanghai is the largest in China, consisting of seven pavilions of tobacco-related exhibits. A focus group and previous survey data revealed that the museum conveys messages that make tobacco use appealing. Of the pavilions, three were found to contain blatant misinformation about tobacco and tobacco consumption. We argue that the China Tobacco Museum is a platform for tobacco promotion, a form of tobacco advertising, …
Generalizability Theory as a Unifying Framework of Measurement Reliability in Adolescent Research
In adolescence research, the treatment of measurement reliability is often fragmented, and it is not always clear how different reliability coefficients are related. We show that generalizability theory (G-theory) is a comprehensive framework of measurement reliability, encompassing all other reliability methods (e.g., Pearson r, coefficient alpha and KR-20, intraclass correlation coefficients). As such, G-theory provides the flexibility and comp…
The growth in newspaper coverage of tobacco control in China, 2000-2010
Chinese newspapers are giving increasing attention to tobacco control, but coverage remains lower than in the USA and Australia. Health workers need to give higher priority to efforts to increase news coverage beyond the present concentration around World No Tobacco Day and to develop strategies for making tobacco control issues more newsworthy to both national and local news outlets
Effect Size Reporting Practices in Communication Research
In recent years, reporting estimates of effect size have become more important in social and behavioral science research. Four full volumes (2003–2006) of four influential communication journals were examined. The findings show that the rate of reporting effect size was very high for some types of statistical analyses (e.g., correlation, regression), and considerably lower for others (e.g., t-test, χ 2 test). The results provide a picture about t…

Psychometric Properties of the Internet Self-Efficacy Scale
The current study provides a cursory review of item response theory (IRT), and tentatively applies the IRT to examining the psychometric properties of the Internet self-efficacy instrument. The results indicated that the eight items of the scale are not of the same quality of assessing individuals' Internet self-efficacy. The reason might be that some items are to a certain degree double-barreled. A comparison of classical test theory (CTT) and I…

Internet use ad cross-cultural adaptation.Testing a Model of Internet Use in the Cross-Cultural Adaptation Context
The growth of new communication technologies has presented new challenges to traditional cross-cultural adaptation (CCA) research. Guided by uses and gratifications (U&G) theory, we proposed a model of Internet use in CCA, investigating how individual differences, Internet use motives, and Internet use influenced Chinese students’ CCA. Eight Internet use motives were identified in the CCA context, including social involvement, acculturation, pass…
