  • Preparing for the Extreme Cold: Linking Motivations, Water Infrastructure, and Communication Practices to Protective Actions

    Keri K Stephens, Mir Rabby et al.•ARTICLE•Weather, Climate, and Society•2026

    There is limited understanding of the factors that motivate people to take protective action to safeguard water infrastructure during extreme cold weather. Guided by Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and using a survey deployed in a major city in the USA ( N = 343) that is predominately Hispanic (people with origins from Mexico and often Spanish speaking), we found cognitive, demographic, and experiential factors explained 42% of the variance in…

  • Clear or compliant? The tension between regulatory requirements and public comprehension in boil water advisories

    Open Access•Kyudong Kim, Euijin Yang et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Disaster…•2026

    Risk communications should provide clear messages to the public so people can take appropriate actions to protect their health and safety. Boil Water Advisories (BWAs), for instance, help safeguard communities from water quality issues. This study evaluates BWA effectiveness by analyzing 85 advisories from four Texas metropolitan areas, collected from press releases and social media platforms (e.g., Facebook). The evaluation focused on two main a…

  • Communicating safety: The impact of warning signs and messages on reducing risky driving in flood conditions

    Open Access•Keri K Stephens, Mir Rabby et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Disaster…•2026

    Vehicle-related flood fatalities are common, and past research has largely focused on psychological, experiential, and sociodemographic factors that contribute to driver safety behavior. Less is known about how flood-related road signs and messages are understood and acted on. This study ( n = 1027) addresses that gap by examining how three factors—past exposure to warning signs, comprehension of those signs, and exposure to flood-related risk me…

    red) in health communication messages about antibiotic resistance. A 2 × 2 × 2 between-subjects experimental design was employed with a sample of 386 participants randomly assigned to one of eight conditions. Results indicated that messages assigning agency to humans led to greater perceived freedom threat compared to assigning bacteria as the agent. The interaction effects between threat agency and nominalized forms predicted perceived response …

  • One HPV Vaccination Message Does Not Fit All: Differences Between Young Adults Deciding to Be Vaccinated and Parents Deciding for Their Children

    Open Access•Ruoxiao Su, Keri K Stephens et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2025

    Despite decades of research on HPV vaccination, the U.S. has still not achieved optimal vaccination rates. This study investigated two different message strategies (agency assignment and deviance regulation marking) for encouraging HPV vaccination in two different populations: parents considering vaccinating their children and young adults (18-26) considering vaccinating themselves. Using a 2 × 3 × 3 online experiment, this study examined the dif…

  • Communicating Antibiotic Resistance via Linguistic Agency Assignment

    Zhengyu Zhang, Mian Jia et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2023

    Antibiotic resistance is a serious health threat that healthcare providers must communicate to the public to decelerate its development. Prior studies have shown that linguistic agency assignment is a viable strategy to frame health threats in a way that both conveys their severity and preserves audience members’ sense of self-efficacy. In the current study, we examined this messaging strategy in the context of antibiotic resistance. Individuals’…

  • Investigating ways to better communicate flood risk: The tight coupling of perceived flood map usability and accuracy

    Keri K Stephens, Russell Blessing et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Hazards•2023•References: 5

    Flooding is increasing worldwide, and many current maps and models available to help people understand their risk are not designed with risk communication best practices in mind. This study is one of the first to combine comparative U.S. flood modelling approaches with measures of perceived flood map usability and accuracy to begin to understand how maps may be used to communicate flood risk. Using a survey of residents in Texas, U.S. counties af…

  • How to get a national biodiversity monitoring programme off the ground: Lessons from New Zealand

    Open Access•Elaine Wright, Elaine F Wright et al.•ARTICLE•PARKS•2020

    The Department of Conservation manages protected areas in New Zealand (32 per cent of the land area) and marine reserves. In recent years, it has come under pressure to provide evidence concerning their biodiversity status and trends. In 2011, the Department implemented systematic monitoring of terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems as part of its Biodiversity Assessment Framework. Data generated now form part of the Department's reporting cy…

  • Did I Offend You or Did It? Agency Assignment in Interpersonal Apology

    Yiwei Wang, Matthew S Mcglone•ARTICLE•Discourse Processes•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 32

    When apologizing to victims of transgressions, people may assign the agency for harm to themselves (“I’m sorry I offended you”), to the act (“I’m sorry it offended you”), or omit agency altogether (“I’m sorry you were offended”). They also may acknowledge or question the victim’s harm by the choice of conjunction used to introduce an explanatory subordinate clause (“I’m sorry that you were offended” vs. “I’m sorry if you were offended”). Particip…

  • Hate the Sin, Love the Saints: Activities Versus Actors in Message Design

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Elizabeth M Glowacki•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2018•References: 42

    The reported study investigated the persuasive effects of nouns describing activities and their human actors in message design. Fictitious op-ed essays were created from the point of view of authors taking a complimentary or critical stance on two controversial topics. Different versions were created in which activity nouns ( immigration, cosmetic surgery) or actor nouns ( immigrants, cosmetic surgeons) referring to the topics were manipulated or…

  • Time Is on Our Side: Temporal Agency in Courtship Narratives

    Rebecca Kurlak, Rebecca M Kurlak et al.•ARTICLE•Discourse Processes•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 43

    The reported study investigated how newlyweds linguistically encode changes in relationship commitment in retrospective courtship narratives. In particular, we explored their use of emotion words and its correspondence with “temporal agency,” that is, the attribution of temporal change to human actors or to abstract events and processes. A corpus of courtship narratives composed by recently married participants was analyzed. Narrators used a high…

  • Naive Realism in the Unmarried Cohabitation Controversy in the United States

    Open Access•Andrea A Mccracken, Matthew S Mcglone•ARTICLE•Interpersona An International…•2016•References: 7

    We explored the role of “naà ̄ve realism†in perceptions of attitudinal differences between proponents and opponents of unmarried cohabitation (UC) in the United States. Participants were presented with UC vignettes, asked to describe their own impressions of the couple in each scenario, and then to speculate about the impressions of the typical UC proponent and opponent. A comparison of these impressions yielded a pattern of false polarization in…

  • Stereotype Threat and the Evaluative Context of Communication

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, R Abigail Pfiester•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2015•Cited by: 2•References: 82

    We explored the impact of "stereotype threat" -that is, distress associated with the prospect of confirming a negative stereotype-on communication in evaluative contexts. Participants engaged in a conflict resolution simulation framed as diagnostic of their ability either to be a leader or to maintain close personal relationships. Women were less fluent and used more tentative language under leadership than relational maintenance framing, but men…

  • Giving Radon Gas Life Through Language: Effects of Linguistic Agency Assignment in Health Messages About Inanimate Threats

    Open Access•Marko Dragojevic, Robert A Bell et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2014•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    Health messages that linguistically assign agency to a threat (e.g., HIV infects people) tend to evoke more fear and elevate perceptions of threat severity and susceptibility relative to those that assign agency to humans (e.g., people contract HIV). The present experiment ( N = 843) extended these findings to a nonliving health threat, radon gas, and compared nonsentient (e.g., radon gas is seeping . . .) and sentient (e.g., radon gas is invadin…

  • The Cowl Makes the Monk: How Avatar Appearance and Role Labels Affect Cognition in Virtual Worlds

    Open Access•Jorge Peña, Matthew S Mcglone et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Virtual Worlds Research•2012

    This study examined how avatars influence operators in stereotype-consistent ways. Participants controlled formally or glamorously dressed avatars, and then created stories. Half of the participants heard a comment about the likely role of the avatar based on its looks (e.g., professor, supermodel). An automated linguistic analysis uncovered that participants using formally dressed avatars referred more to education, books, and numbers. Conversel…

  • Hyperbole, Homunculi, and Hindsight Bias: An Alternative Evaluation of Conceptual Metaphor Theory

    Matthew S Mcglone•ARTICLE•Discourse Processes•2011•Cited by: 4•References: 33

    To its credit, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) has drawn significant attention to the question of what figurative language can tell us about human concepts. However, the answers CMT theorists have offered are typically unsubstantiated by the empirical evidence, and occasionally unfalsifiable. This reply to Raymond W. Gibbs Jr.'s positive evaluation of the theory offers an alternative assessment that is more critical of its shortcomings. This cri…

  • Seasonality in the early Holocene: Extending fossil-based estimates with a forest ecosystem process model

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Matt S McGlone et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2010•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    Past seasonality changes are often poorly represented by Quaternary proxies because one season, or one factor, dominates the reconstructed signal. During the early Holocene in New Zealand, mean annual temperatures were at least 1.5°C warmer than present. However, treelines were lower, suggesting summers were cooler. Here we use a forest ecosystem process model, LINKNZ, to explore past precipitation and temperature seasonality changes in an interm…

  • Are treelines advancing? A global meta‐analysis of treeline response to climate warming

    Open Access•Melanie A Harsch, Philip E Hulme et al.•ARTICLE•Ecology Letters•2009

    Treelines are temperature sensitive transition zones that are expected to respond to climate warming by advancing beyond their current position. Response to climate warming over the last century, however, has been mixed, with some treelines showing evidence of recruitment at higher altitudes and/or latitudes (advance) whereas others reveal no marked change in the upper limit of tree establishment. To explore this variation, we analysed a global d…

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, R Abigail Pfiester•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2009•Cited by: 12•References: 45

    When describing the passage of time, people metaphorically assign the agency for temporal change to themselves (e.g., we are approaching the weekend) or an event ( the weekend is approaching). Embodiment theory suggests that temporal agency assignments reflect conceptual correspondences between time, motion, and emotion, whereby people symbolically move toward affectively positive events but passively observe the arrival of negative events. This …

  • The Generality and Consequences of Stereotype Threat

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, R Abigail Pfiester•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    ‘Stereotype threat’ refers to the state of psychological discomfort people experience when confronted by an unflattering reputation in a situation where that reputation can be confirmed by one's behavior. Once aroused, stereotype threat can have a number of disruptive effects, among them the short‐term impairment of intelligent thought and academic achievement. Over time, it can prompt defensive adaptations that have far‐reaching effects, such as…

  • Contamination and Camouflage in Euphemisms

    Matthew S Mcglone, Gary Beck et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2006•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    Communicators may representationally displace an unpleasant topic by avoiding direct reference to it (e.g., she died) in favor of a euphemism (she's no longer with us). How does a euphemism's displacement capacity change over its career in the vernacular? Linguists have assumed that this capacity deteriorates as euphemisms become conventional and thus “contaminated” by their association with negative referents. In contrast, communicative pragmati…

  • Stereotype Threat and the Gender Gap in Political Knowledge

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Joshua Aronson et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Women Quarterly•2006•Cited by: 43•References: 14

    Men tend to achieve higher response accuracy than women on surveys of political knowledge. We investigated the possibility that this performance gap is moderated by factors that render the communicative context of a survey intellectually threatening to women and thereby induce stereotype threat. In a telephone survey of college students' political knowledge, we manipulated two factors of the survey context: the alleged diagnosticity of the questi…

  • Semantic productivity and idiom comprehension

    Matthew S Mcglone, Sam Glucksberg et al.•ARTICLE•Discourse Processes•1994•Cited by: 26•References: 20

    When people understand an idiom such as “spill the beans,” two kinds of meaning are simultaneously apprehended: the meanings of the words themselves and the idiomatic meaning. Standard models of language comprehension assume that the literal meanings of figurative expressions are rejected in favor of a nonliteral meaning. We propose an alternative approach in which literal meanings are systematically used to constrain the use and variation of con…

    ‘Contextomy’ refers to the selective excerpting of words from their original linguistic context in a way that distorts the source’s intended meaning, a practice commonly referred to as ‘quoting out of context’. Contextomy is employed in contemporary mass media to promote products, defame public figures and misappropriate rhetoric. A contextomized quotation not only prompts audiences to form a false impression of the source’s intentions, but can c…

  • Late-glacial and Holocene vegetation and climatic history of the Cass Basin, central South Island, New Zealand

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Matt S McGlone et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Research•2004

    Lithology, pollen, macrofossils, and stable carbon isotopes from an intermontane basin bog site in southern New Zealand provide a detailed late-glacial and early Holocene vegetation and climate record. Glacial retreat occurred before 17,000 cal yr B.P., and tundra-like grassland"shrubland occupied the basin shortly after. Between 16,500 and 14,600 cal yr B.P., a minor regional expansion of forest patches occurred in response to warming, but the b…

  • A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi: Verbalization Bias in Evaluation

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Diane Kobrynowicz et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2005

    People's evaluations of stimuli may change when they verbally attempt to communicate the reasons underlying their judgments. The reported experiments demonstrate the interactive influence of expertise, verbalizability (i.e., the ease with which stimulus features can be linguistically encoded), and appraisal mode in the verbalization bias phenomenon. In Experiment 1, art novices and experts rated their liking of artworks with compositional feature…

  • Contextomy: The art of quoting out of context

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone•ARTICLE•Media Culture & Society•2005•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    ‘Contextomy’ refers to the selective excerpting of words from their original linguistic context in a way that distorts the source’s intended meaning, a practice commonly referred to as ‘quoting out of context’. Contextomy is employed in contemporary mass media to promote products, defame public figures and misappropriate rhetoric. A contextomized quotation not only prompts audiences to form a false impression of the source’s intentions, but can c…

  • Contamination and Camouflage in Euphemisms

    Matthew S Mcglone, Gary Beck et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2006•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    Communicators may representationally displace an unpleasant topic by avoiding direct reference to it (e.g., she died) in favor of a euphemism (she's no longer with us). How does a euphemism's displacement capacity change over its career in the vernacular? Linguists have assumed that this capacity deteriorates as euphemisms become conventional and thus “contaminated” by their association with negative referents. In contrast, communicative pragmati…

  • Stereotype Threat and the Gender Gap in Political Knowledge

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, Joshua Aronson et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Women Quarterly•2006•Cited by: 43•References: 14

    Men tend to achieve higher response accuracy than women on surveys of political knowledge. We investigated the possibility that this performance gap is moderated by factors that render the communicative context of a survey intellectually threatening to women and thereby induce stereotype threat. In a telephone survey of college students' political knowledge, we manipulated two factors of the survey context: the alleged diagnosticity of the questi…

  • The Generality and Consequences of Stereotype Threat

    Open Access•Matthew S Mcglone, R Abigail Pfiester•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    ‘Stereotype threat’ refers to the state of psychological discomfort people experience when confronted by an unflattering reputation in a situation where that reputation can be confirmed by one's behavior. Once aroused, stereotype threat can have a number of disruptive effects, among them the short‐term impairment of intelligent thought and academic achievement. Over time, it can prompt defensive adaptations that have far‐reaching effects, such as…
