The Effects of AI Attribution, Source Priming, and Story Topic Polarization on News Credibility
The effects of automated authorship on news perceptions have been inconsistent in past research in both directionality and statistical significance. Could null or opposite direction effects found across prior studies be attributed to differences in manipulation recall or variability in news story polarization? What about inconsistencies in the measurement of key outcome variables like message credibility? An online experiment (N = 820) tested the…
The Color of Family
As entertainment media contains a growing number of transracial adoption portrayals, it becomes necessary to consider how such depictions are cognitively processed and what intrapersonal factors are likely to shape such processing. This survey ( N = 602) examines the relationship between White and Black emerging adults’ schema about transracial adoption and their perceptions of realism of transracial adoption portrayals. Results indicate a signif…

The most important keyword in the discourse of modern media is “interactive.” The starting point of a theory of int…
