Hesitancy in the Home
While family communication has repeatedly been found to be related to health decisions and outcomes, the role of family communication within the study of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy has not received adequate attention. The present study ( N = 1,005) assesses the relationship between family communication patterns and willingness to converse about the Covid-19 vaccine with a family member, while also considering trust in government as a moderator. F…
Is This Us? Perceived Realism and Learning Outcomes of Entertainment Media Portrayals of Transracial Adoption
Despite the increase in media portrayals of transracial adoption, little is understood about how viewers perceive these portrayals. Therefore, 36 interviews were conducted (20 with transracially adoptive parents and 16 with non-transracially-adoptive parents) to discover the perceived realism and learning outcomes of three entertainment transracial adoption portrayals. While transracially adoptive parents were generally more inclined to deem the …
Using Sex to Get the Story
Prejudicial behaviors toward female journalists are on the rise, yet few instruments are available to measure stereotyping of female journalists. The present work validates a new scale for measuring the prominent sexual stereotype that female journalists have sex with their sources using exploratory (N = 561) and confirmatory factor analysis (N = 580). Results reveal that the proposed scale has a reliable and replicable factor structure that is d…
The Model Family
This experimental study tested the effect of advertisements featuring a multiracial family on emerging adult consumers' responses. Participants (N = 225) had more favorable attitudes toward multiracial family ads (versus same-race, White family ads), and a serial mediation model revealed an indirect effect of model family racial composition on purchase intention via the mediators of attitudes toward the ad and toward the brand. Surprisingly, neit…
Are You Satisfied? Examining Positive Interaction and Satisfaction in Romantic Relationships

In accordance with affection exchange theory, positive interaction between romantic partners should contribute to greater relationship satisfaction.

A pre-registered online survey with a U.S. sample (N = 595) was conducted to answer this question. Results revealed that conversation orientation and conformity orientation positively predicted the intention to correct misinformation shared by a family member while family history was negatively related with intent. …
Make Your Family Proud”
In this study, we analyzed Disney's Encanto through the lens of identity theory using qualitative content analysis to examine how family roles and identity were communicatively constructed. Results uncovered four themes regarding the Madrigal family's role enactment (role confirmation, role disconfirmation, conformity to family identity, and identity salience of family roles). Findings capture the mutually influential, fluctuating nature of enact…
Ethnic-Racial Socialization in Transracially Adoptive Families
While all families are responsible for the ethnic-racial socialization of their children, this process represents a nuanced undertaking for parents who have adopted transracially. Following the model of change (Mace, Citation1981), this paper first presents a review of the socialization and transracial adoption literature with a special focus on intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping how children are socialized, followed by a set of practical st…
Happiest streaming platform on earth
In accordance with the influence of presumed influence (IPI) model, parents’ views toward utilizing parental controls on video streaming platforms should be related to perceptions of content’s negative influence on children. Perceptions of child-friendliness of streaming platforms and family cohesion levels should also be expected to mediate and moderate, respectively, this relationship such that perceiving a platform as child-friendly would be n…
