Humanizing digital governance
We introduce a special issue of Information, Communication & Society that showcases research from the 2024 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association and related symposia. Collectively, the articles humanize the study of digital governance by centering humans. We draw on the sociotechnical systems paradigm to describe how the authors in this issue challenge reductionist views that treat technology as deterministic by highlighting how…
Making sense of digitally mediated disruptions
This special issue of Information, Communication, and Society is edited by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology (CITAMS) section of the American Sociological Association (ASA) and includes papers that were first presented at either the 2022 or 2023 ASA meetings or Media Sociology Symposia. In this introduction, the editors of the special issue aim to connect the articles appearing here to the oldest, most fundamental m…
So What if They're Lying to Us? Comparing Rhetorical Strategies for Discrediting Sources of Disinformation and Misinformation Using an Affect-Based Credibility Rating
Despite growing research on false information, a theoretical framework to organize findings is lacking. We use affect control theory to fill this need and introduce the affect-based credibility rating for interpreting the effectiveness of rhetorical strategies in discrediting the source of falsehoods. The rating quantifies the difference in connotations between the labels used to characterize the source and an ideal, credible source. Successful d…
Too human and not human enough
Social chatbot (SC) applications offering social companionship and basic therapy tools have grown in popularity for emotional, social, and psychological support. While use appears to offer mental health benefits, few studies unpack the potential for harms. Our grounded theory study analyzes mental health experiences with the popular SC application Replika. We identified mental health relevant posts made in the r/Replika Reddit community between 2…

Situated Trust in a Physician
Most patients trust their physicians uniformly across several situations, which challenges prevailing perspectives on interpersonal trust that view it as situated (placed upon a specific person for a specific task within a situation). We suggest this finding is an artifact of undertheorizing about how situations shape patients’ trust. We develop claims explaining how patients’ devalued health characteristics raise situation-specific concerns. We …
Measuring Resonance and Dissonance in Social Movement Frames With Affect Control Theory
We present a methodological innovation for analyzing archival data that involves the framing strategies from the failed 1980 Iowa Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). First, we conducted an archival analysis that suggested that pro-ERA groups used “frame resonance,” a strategy prominent in the social movement literature where activists align issues with ideologies. Meanwhile, anti-ERA groups used what we coin here as “frame dissonance” by depicting how …
Toward a Sociology of Privacy
What are, and what should be, the boundaries between self and society, individuals and groups? To address these questions, we synthesize research on privacy that is relevant for two foundational sociological issues: social order and inequality. By synthesizing work on a narrow yet fundamental set of issues, we aim to improve our understanding of privacy as well as provide a foundation for understanding contemporary privacy issues associated with …
Depressive Symptoms and Electronic Messaging with Health Care Providers
Recent health policies encourage electronic messaging with providers to potentially improve health care. It is unclear whether the same potential exists for individuals with mental health symptoms. Whereas these individuals appear interested in such technologies, they may also be concerned about privacy and security risks. To clarify this ambiguity, we conceptualize electronic messaging as an impression management tool for individuals with depres…
A looming digital divide? Group differences in the perceived importance of electronic health records
Electronic health records (EHRs) are expected to bring a variety of health benefits, including reducing disparities in health-care access, but only if they are valued by all patient populations. We used the 2007 Health Information and National Trends Survey to characterize which health-care users report that electronic access to their health records is important for themselves and their providers. Respondents from populations that generally exper…
Revisiting the First-Level Digital Divide in the United States
With the narrowing of Internet access divide, researchers have focused on Internet usage, taking for granted access issues. However, questions remain regarding who has Internet access in the United States: What is the status of the racial divide? Is there still a gender divide? How do Latinos compare to other racial and ethnic minority groups? How does gender intersect with race and ethnicity? I analyze nationally representative data to compare I…

Copresence
Copresence, the idea that the presence of other actors shapes individual behavior, links macro- and micro-theorizing about social interaction. Traditionally, scholars have focused on the physical proximity of other people, assuming copresence to be a given, objective condition. However, recent empirical evidence on technologically mediated (e.g., e-mail), imaginary (e.g., prayer), and parasocial (e.g., watching a television show) interactions cha…
