When Distrust Shapes News Choice: Perceptions of Mis- and Disinformation and News Consumption Across Traditional and Social Media Outlets
news use. Our findings highlight the roles PMI and PDI play in the selection of specific outlets for news consumption and offer implications in understanding how individuals engage in news selection, which could expose them to mis- and disinformation
“It’s All Fake News!”: How Perceptions of Misinformation and Disinformation Influence News Consumption Across Traditional Media, Social Media, and AI
Public trust in the news media has eroded in the United States. This study examines how perceptions of misinformation (PMI) and disinformation (PDI) affect the consumption of traditional media, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI) news, and whether this relationship is moderated by political ideology and media trust. Findings from a pre-registered experiment ( N = 637) revealed that PMI and PDI regarding traditional and social media new…
Dyadic and Longitudinal Influences of Sexual Communication on Relationship Satisfaction, Emotional Intimacy, and Daily Affect Among Same-Sex Male Couples
The influences of sexual communication on relational outcomes have garnered attention in the current literature, but such dynamics have seldom been explored among same-sex couples using dyadic, longitudinal data. The current study investigates the actor (i.e. on the individual self) and partner (i.e. on the partner) effects of sexual communication (presence and quality) on relationship satisfaction, emotional intimacy, and daily affect among same…
Stigmatization of mpox and the MSM community on Twitter: A computational approach to exploring the negative emotions expressed through stigmatizing language
Stigmatizing language surrounding the MSM community was present in tweets about mpox. • Fear was the most expressed emotion but was mainly related to the disease itself. • Tweets expressing anger or disgust were most associated with the MSM community. • Computational text analyses revealed the emotions and connections among online posts. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by mpox, which may impact experiences of stigm…
Who Sets the Agenda for Climate Change in China? A Longitudinal Analysis of Primary Actors that Drive Online Discussions on Social Media
Multiple actors may harness social media to promote their own stances and influence others on climate change. Our investigation focused on second-level agenda-setting, determining which actors drove climate change conversations by attracting public attention to various topics. We examined the primary topics and actors involved in climate change discussions on Weibo (N = 1,090,420 posts) from 2010 to 2020. Our findings indicate that most discussio…
A systematic review and meta-analysis of strategies to promote vaccination uptake
Dissonance between posts of health agencies and public comments regarding Covid-19 and vaccination on Facebook in Northern California
While this research serves as a case study, findings indicate how local health agencies, and their audiences, discuss their perceptions and concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and may inform health communication researchers and practitioners on how to prepare and manage for emerging health crises
Examining Discussions Related to Transgender Athletes on Twitter: The Role of Negative Emotion on Message Engagement
Several states have enacted laws prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in sports that align with their gender identity. The present study seeks to explore the role of negative emotions and their relation to the rise of online discussions surrounding transgender athletes. We examined whether posts expressing anger and fear impacted message engagement through capturing all related posts ( N = 658,207) from September 2017 to September 2022…
Partisan media, untrustworthy news sites, and political misperceptions
This study investigates the potential role both untrustworthy and partisan websites play in misinforming audiences by testing whether actual exposure to these sites is associated with political misperceptions. Using a sample of American adult social media users, we match data from individuals’ Internet browser histories with a survey measuring the accuracy of political beliefs. We find that visits to partisan websites are at times related to misp…
The Uproar Over Gene-Edited Babies: A Semantic Network Analysis of CRISPR on Twitter
CRISPR-Cas9, a recent gene editing technology, has potential to greatly impact medicine, agriculture, and the environment; therefore, it is increasingly important to understand the public’s perceptions surrounding this technology. This study examined the main themes of CRISPR during a nine-month period on Twitter through semantic network analysis. Three additional networks (before, initial, and after-event stages) were created to understand the e…
Online Representations of “Genome Editing” Uncover Opportunities for Encouraging Engagement: A Semantic Network Analysis
Genome editing is an emerging socio-scientific issue. This study uses semantic network analysis to determine the concepts and frames the public is exposed to when seeking information about “genome editing” in Wikipedia and Google. Four frames were identified in Wikipedia: (1) methodology/terminology, (2) applications, (3) common approaches, and (4) DNA repair mechanisms. Three frames were identified in the Google webpages: (1) scientific contribu…
Absence of change in the gray matter volume of patients with ulcerative colitis in remission: A voxel based morphometry study
BACKGROUND: Recent neuroimaging studies have investigated the brain involvement in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Functional studies found abnormalities in cognitive and emotional functions in CD and UC, while a voxel based morphometry (VBM) study found morphological changes in CD. We conducted a VBM study to compare the gray matter (GM) volume of UC patients and controls. METHODS: Eighteen UC patients in remissio…

Alternative medicine use in HIV-positive men and women: Demographics, utilization patterns and health status
Between 1995 and 1997, 1,675 HIV-positive men and women using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) were enrolled into the Bastyr University AIDS Research Center's Alternative Medicine Care Outcomes in AIDS (AMCOA) study. Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the AMCOA study collected information on participant demographics, …
