Modeling Covid-19 Preventive Behavior
With bases in the Socio-Ecological Model (SEM), Protection Motivation Theory, and the Extended Parallel Process Model, this study builds a multilevel model including neighborhood risk factors, cognitive appraisals, and media information use with research hypotheses and questions developed at the individual, community, and cross levels. The research expectations are tested with 2020 individual-level survey data ( N = 995) and 2019 and 2020 neighbo…
A Multilevel Study of Preventive Behavioral Outcomes
This study builds a multilevel model of the influence of media information use and neighborhood risk factors on preventive behaviors. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, multilevel modeling was implemented with individual-level survey data from 2020 ( N = 995) and community-level data from 2019 and 2020 from databases ( N = 41). The predominant effects were at the individual level, including information scanning having more …
Do social media matter? The effects of information seeking on Covid-19 psychological and behavioral processes
With the evolution of media technologies, social media have developed as a means to purposive and incidental use and subsequent benefits and detriments. This study investigates how individuals’ use of information via social media helps them achieve psychological and behavioral advances in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study’s novelty lies in its positioning of social media information seeking (SMIS) as a precursor to the staged behav…
What About Promotores? Promotores' Psychosocial Determinants That Influenced the Delivery of a Cervical Cancer Education Intervention to Hispanics
This study tested whether a cancer education intervention affected promotores' self-efficacy to deliver an intervention to Hispanics and which psychosocial determinants of promotores influenced the number of Hispanic residents reached by promotores in the subsequent education intervention. A quasi-experimental, pre/post-design with a treatment group (no control) assessed differences for promotores ( n = 136) before and after exposure to the cance…
Emotions in the time of coronavirus
Increasingly, people are turning to digital and social media to address health threats. While research has commonly investigated the psychosocial antecedents of digital health information seeking behavior (digital HISB) and social media use (SMU), there has been limited research on the independent effects of emotions and no research on the interactive effects of emotions. In the context of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, this study investigate…

Utilization of an Interorganizational Network Analysis to Evaluate the Development of Community Capacity Among a Community–Academic Partnership
This study provides evidence that the community capacity building efforts within these communities have contributed to beneficial changes in interorganizational relationships. Results from this analysis are useful for understanding how a community partnership's efforts to address access to care can strengthen a community's capacity for future action. Increased collaboration also leads to new assets, resources, and the transfer of knowledge and sk…
A Study of Individual‐Level Social Capital and Health Outcomes
This study examines associations between social capital and health outcomes with data from the 2010 B razos V alley H ealth S urvey ( T exas) ( N = 3,176). Multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis demonstrated that poor and fair health status was inversely predicted by both high trust (adjusted OR = .67 [ CI = .50–.92]) and high informal social ties (adjusted OR = .68 [ CI = .49–.94]), as well as being predicted by the interaction of ur…

The internet's impact on international knowledge
With data from a national telephone survey, the current study examines the comparative and synergistic influence of the internet on international knowledge. Independent and interactive media effects are considered in terms of four medium-specific measures of international news attention. Internet news attention had the most positive effect on international knowledge of any of the news measures. In terms of the other three news attention measures,…
Modeling the impact of online cancer resources on supporters of cancer patients
This article considers the impact of internet use and online social capital on the health outcomes of supporters of cancer patients. Structural equation modeling offers support for the following three-step model: internet use online social capital stress and depression.

Explaining the Relationship between Internet Use and Interpersonal Trust
Although a growing body of empirical research has assessed the relationship between Internet use and social capital, little is known about what mechanisms underlie this relationship. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by articulating and testing a multi-step model specific to the development of interpersonal trust, a critical component of social capital. In considering the influence of Internet use on interpersonal trust, this…
HIV prevention in sub-Saharan Africa
In light of the great threat that HIV/AIDS poses in sub-Saharan Africa, the current study assesses HIV/AIDS posters from this region with specific reference to health message frames, including HIV sources, consequences, self-efficacy, preventive means, and barriers and benefits to employing such means of prevention. There is a two-step methodology. First, the content of HIV/AIDS posters from 15 sub-Saharan African countries was coded for the six …
Sars News Coverage and Its Determinants in China and the US
This study investigates the prevalence of news frames in SARS news coverage from the Xinhua News Agency and the Associated Press (AP), as well as whether the frames were predicted by news environment and the SARS timeline. Factor analysis supported four frame dimensions: attribution of responsibility, human interest, economic consequences and severity. Frame prevalence was considered in terms of, first, the story as the unit of analysis and, seco…
The impact of news use and social capital on youth wellbeing
The current study explores the socioenvironmental determinants of youth development, with a focus on the mass media and social capital; it tests a model in which news use and social capital influence youth wellbeing. Social capital is operationally defined in terms of youth involvement and perceptions of place, and youth wellbeing is measured with youth arrest and youth pregnancy. Individual‐level data come from three telephone surveys of adults …
The Social Capital of Blacks and Whites
This study relied on telephone survey interviews of adults in two U.S. metropolitan areas to examine whether the relationship between mass media use and social capital varies according to ethnicity. A multigroup approach taken with structural equation modeling validates a four-factor model of social capital for Blacks and Whites and then, with the implementation of a comprehensive model that also includes mass media inputs, tests for structural v…
Internet privacy practices of news media and implications for online journalism
In light of increases in online privacy concerns, use of online news sites, and news site data mining, a content analysis of 405 news media websites assessed information collection strategies and related privacy practices which impact on the relationship of news sources and news users. Sites from four categories of media types (Daily News, Internet Media, Magazines, and Weeklies) were coded for use of “cookies” and other information collection st…
Social Capital in Rural and Urban Communities
This study examines whether the effects of the mass media on social capital and related processes vary between rural and urban communities. A distinction is made between indicators of social networks (association membership and neighborliness), social trust (interpersonal trust and community trust), and pro-social behaviors (voting and volunteering). We test nonrecursive structural equation models with manifest and latent variables on rural and u…
The Independent and Interactive Antecedents of International Knowledge
In light of low levels of international knowledge among the American public, the current study examines the roles that news attention, education, interpersonal discussion and international involvement play in the development of international knowledge. Predictor patterns for an American sample are quite similar for close- and open-ended knowledge measures. News attention, education and interpersonal discussion play positive roles. In terms of the…
A Marketplace Theory of Media Use
This study articulates a theory of media use that, with the proliferation and diversification of the mass media, conceptualizes news coverage as a commodity or product. From marketing to mass communication, we extend a conceptual framework of product purchase, articulating 4 determinants of attitude toward newspaper (AN), which, in turn, influences newspaper readership. Determinants of AN are news credibility, attitude toward diversity aspects of…
Value Representations in Foreign News
The study articulates `a values approach' to understanding foreign news coverage in a prestige American newspaper. A system of 13 values - including altruism and freedom, materialism and peace - is articulated, with values examined in terms of how foreign nations, groups and individuals were represented in news coverage. The study finds that values are clustered along two dimensions: (1) conflict; and (2) positive. In addition, values were distri…
Confucianism, Collectivism and Constitutions
Political events and ideologies in the twentieth century account for most of the features of the modern press systems in China and Japan. The Maoist revolution and recent economic reforms have shaped the controlled press system in China, and the defeat in World War II and the adoption of democracy and capitalism help account for the libertarian press system in Japan. Although they are different in obvious ways, the press systems in these two nati…
