Examining the Use of Aggressive Satirical Humor on Perceptions of Trustworthiness in Communication About Renewable Energy
We examined the effects of gentle and harsh satire on perceived trustworthiness of a scientist in an audio clip. Using a three-condition between-subjects survey experiment ( N = 723), we found that respondents in the experimental (vs. control) conditions reported greater perceived aggression, which was negatively associated with perceived trustworthiness of the scientist. The negative effects of the audio clips with satire on perceived trustworth…
Communicating About Renewable Energy With Satire: The Influence of Gentle and Harsh Humor Tones on Perceived Message Credibility and Information Reliance
Satire is often used in science communication, but it is unclear how it influences perceptions of message credibility and reliance on the information. We examine how two satire types (gentle, harsh) influence perceived message credibility and information reliance, which we define as using the information in discussions or for attitudinal and behavioral changes. Using a partial mediation model, we found no effects of gentle satire, but harsh satir…
Partisan YouTube use and evaluation of knowledge in Korea and the United States: A fresh perspective via the Dunning-Kruger effect
This study investigates how partisan YouTube use can paint biased evaluations of one's own as well as others' knowledge. Understanding of these relationships is enriched by a fresh theoretical perspective via the Dunning-Kruger effect, suggesting that people, especially those who perform poorly, tend to overestimate their own competence. Using South Korea and the United States as two different contexts, we also attend to how cultures moderate the…
The Power of Humor: The Role of Political Entertainment Programming in South Korea for Enhancing Attitudes Toward the Oppositional Message Source
Drawing on the dual-process models of persuasion, this study sheds light on the impacts of political entertainment programming in South Korea with a particular emphasis on its potential to alleviate ideological polarization by enhancing attitudes toward the oppositional message source. The results from an online experiment show that counter-attitudinal exposure through political entertainment programming tends to predispose viewers to process hum…
The Confidence Database
Understanding how people rate their confidence is critical for the characterization of a wide range of perceptual, memory, motor and cognitive processes. To enable the continued exploration of these processes, we created a large database of confidence studies spanning a broad set of paradigms, participant populations and fields of study. The data from each study are structured in a common, easy-to-use format that can be easily imported and analys…
