‘What would happen if I die in a foreign country?’
Uncertainty, when perceived as a danger, can severely undermine a cancer patient’s recovery, resilience, and quality of life. Managing this uncertainty is therefore vital to well-being. While research on uncertainty and coping is growing, little attention has been given to vulnerable groups, such as migrant domestic workers (MDWs). Therefore, this study explores how Indonesian MDWs in Hong Kong experience and navigate the uncertainties arising fo…

Cancer as communication work
Our study highlights how interpersonal communication is complicated by migrant status, the intersection of individuals' multiple identities, and family financial vulnerability. These factors increased the complexity of MDWs' efforts to manage relationships, financial responsibilities, and employment to maintain access to treatment, placing a greater physical and emotional burden on them during treatment and recovery
Is communication a dependent or involuted discipline? A citation analysis of communication publications from 2010 to 2020
Communication research has been one of the fastest-growing disciplines across the social sciences over the last two decades in terms of the numbers of Social Science Citation Indexed journals and articles. However, whether Communication is an independent discipline remains debated. Of various criticisms, one extreme considers Communication too dependent on other disciplines, whereas the other regards Communication as too inward-looking. In the cu…
The Influence of Online Political Expression on Disagreement and Incivility
This study theorized that active political expression on social networking sites (SNS) facilitates political disagreement since it diversifies one’s communication network, which likely leads to political incivility. Additionally, individuals’ social identity might condition this indirect relationship. Relying on a two-wave panel survey in Hong Kong, this study found that political expression on SNS is significantly associated with political disag…

The model was tested using data from a web survey of 599 vaccination supporters in the United States. The vaccine supporters reported greater support for government regulation of misinformation when they perceived greater susceptibility among the general pub…
