On the problems of construct proliferation and redundancy
In this paper, it is asserted that construct proliferation and redundancy constitute widespread problems in need of remediation. In making this argument, numerous theoretical and empirical problems that stem directly from construct proliferation and redundancy are noted. Moreover, the merits of different solutions are reviewed, and recommendations are provided regarding the desirability and feasibility of each solution. Ultimately, we hope this p…
Beware the default
In this brief report, we show that when performing structural equation modeling, substantive conclusions may differ drastically depending on the statistical program that is used. This can occur because some programs assume that certain model errors are correlated by default, whereas others do not. We argue that the uncritical use of statistical software can lead to situations in which incorrect inferences are made
Measurement invariance of core communication constructs across race, nationality, and age
Communication science has been criticized for relying on WEIRD samples. One question that arises from such criticisms is whether core communication constructs and measures generalize to different demographic groups. In other words, are measures of common communication variables interpreted similarly across groups? In this study, we assess the measurement invariance of numerous scales that are used commonly in research on communication science acr…
On the nature of influence
An important component of theoretical and applied work on social influence is identifying influential people. Boster et al.'s theoretical framework on superdiffusers provides one method of doing so, but important questions on the nature of influence remain. In particular, because existing studies have primarily sampled U.S. college students, it remains unclear whether (a) the framework adequately characterizes superdiffusers in different populati…
Interdisciplinary Collaborations in Academia
In academia, interdisciplinary collaborations allow individuals with different areas of expertise and resources to accomplish shared goals. Nevertheless, because interdisciplinary scholars often have different knowledge areas or methodological training, such collaborations may be less likely to form. In this manuscript, we provide a step toward understanding how interdisciplinary collaborations form within academic contexts. Specifically, we prop…
Examining the Relationship Between Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and Subordinate Achievement Goal Orientations
To date, organizational behavior and leadership scholars have placed a considerable amount of effort into understanding and expanding upon the LMX framework. One way that scholars have attempted to expand upon the LMX framework has been to examine whether certain moderators qualify the LMX process. This manuscript proposes that organizational members’ achievement orientations (i.e. mastery, performance-avoidance, and performance-approach orientat…
Documenting the Longitudinal Relationship between Group Conflict and Group Cohesion
Group scholars have devoted a considerable amount of attention to the dynamics of group conflict and group cohesion. This investigation contends that both dynamics are closely related, such that they are related causally. A three-wave longitudinal investigation is reported that examines the extent to which this is the case. Results suggest that group conflict has a strong negative effect on group cohesion over time, and that this is the case desp…
Extending Rice et al. (2017)
In a recent issue of Journal of Communication, Rice et al. (2017 Rice, R. E., S. K. Evans, K. E. Pearce, A. Sivunen, J. Vitak, and J. W. Treem. 2017. “Organizational Media Affordances: Operationalization and Associations with Media use.” Journal of Communication 67 (1): 106–130. doi:10.1111/jcom.12273.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) offered a measure of social media affordances that has been of decided value to its corpus. Spec…
The Effects of LMX Differentiation on Team Performance
Although conceptualized initially as a dyadic-level theory, scholars have since broadened the theoretical underpinnings of leader–member exchange (LMX) to account for its effects on group-level phenomena. LMX differentiation, for example, captures the extent to which variance in LMX quality within teams affects numerous outcomes (e.g., performance). However, the specific mechanisms by which LMX differentiation affects team-level outcomes remains …
The Structural Effects of Team Density and Normative Standards on Team Member Performance
This study investigates the effects of team density, normative performance standards, and team accountability on team member performance. Analyses revealed that the effect of normative standards on member performance was positive, whereas the effect of density was negative. Additionally, accountability had a small, insubstantial effect on member performance. Interaction analyses further suggested that dense teams hold the ability to constrain mem…
Assessing the Effects of Partisan Bias at the Group Level of Analysis
Although there is some evidence in the political arena that pooling information can overcome individual biases to improve decision-making accuracy, research from the group communication and psychology arenas suggests otherwise. Specifically, research on the hidden profile, a group-level decision-making problem, suggests that groups are decidedly biased when making decisions. This laboratory experiment tested whether or not partisan biases manifes…
Newcomer Socialization research
Although multiple conceptualizations and measures of newcomer socialization have been offered, most approaches to measuring socialization efforts (a) confound distinctions between multilevel influences and (b) overlook critical communicative aspects (i.e., who-says-what-to-whom-and-how). Advocating for a shift in theory and measurement, this paper reviews three popular approaches in the socialization corpus (i.e., contextual, content, and memorab…
