High Public Good Values for Ecosystem Service Attributes of on-farm Quinoa Diversity Conservation in Peru
Agrobiodiversity is associated with a range of important but poorly quantified public good ecosystem services, the conservation of which requires public support. With a view to determining the general public's willingness to pay (WTP) for such conservation, we organised interviews with 491 adult Peruvian residents in three regions a stated preference choice experiment (CE) to elicit the value they place on crop genetic resources conservation, usi…
Revealing Challenges of Teaching Secrecy
All teaching has something to do with transmission of hidden knowledge, secrecy, and revelation. But the teaching of secrecy itself faces particular challenges. Drawing on the authors’ experiences teaching secrecy-themed seminars to first-year university students, this paper pinpoints four such challenges: how to determine the range of phenomena to cover in a short course, how to prevent excessive interpretation of secrets, how to encourage stude…
(Dis)connections in anonymous communication theory
Anonymity has sparked the interests of scholars studying a broad and diverse range of communication phenomena. The collective body of research that has accumulated, however, remains fragmented and largely disconnected. We synthesize existing attempts to theorize anonymity, focusing on how it has been conceptualized within the field of communication. We consider the perspectives, dimensions, and tensions that mark conceptualizations of anonymous c…

Anonymous Communication Unmasking Findings Across Fields
Research examining anonymous communication has a rich history spanning several academic fields and numerous decades. Despite this broad and longstanding interest, few attempts have been made to summarize the body of scholarship on anonymous communication. This chapter reviews research on anonyms communication from journalism, organization studies, economics, information systems, psychology, social psychology, computer-mediated communication, and …
A Whole-Hearted Effort to Get It Half Right
As I consider communication technology research —where it has been and where it is going —I regularly think back to a response I wrote for my comprehensive exams as a doctoral student 15 years ago. In an essay to defend the relevance of communication technology as an area of study, I somewhat boldly predicted that communication technology would never be a major subfield itself because experts across a wide range of more traditional subfields woul…
Anonymity and Self-Disclosure on Weblogs
Bloggers are typically cautious about engaging in self-disclosure because of concerns that what they post may have negative consequences. This article examines the relationship between anonymity (both visual and discursive) and self-disclosure on weblogs through an online survey. The results suggest that increased visual anonymity is not associated with greater self-disclosure, and the findings about the role of discursive anonymity are mixed. Bl…
French Abstract
Bien que l’anonymat soit étudié depuis bien au-delà d’un siècle, l’enseignement touchant la communication anonyme est fragmenté tandis que le rôle des récepteurs de messages, en particulier, mérite plus d’attention. Un modèle théorique est ici développé qui explique les réponses du récepteur aux communications anonymes. Il est avancé que le contexte de la communication, la perception du degré d’anonymat de la source, le désir du récepteur d’ident…
German Abstract
Identifizieren oder nicht identifizieren: Ein theoretischen Modell von Empfängerrückmeldung auf anonyme Kommunikation Auch wenn das Konzept Anonymität über mehr als ein Jahrzehnt hinweg erforscht worden ist, bleibt der Forschungsbereich zu anonymer Kommunikation eher fragmentiert; besonders der Rolle des Botschaftsempfängers sollte größere Aufmerksamkeit zuteil werden. In diesem Beitrag wird ein theoretisches Modell vorgestellt, welches Erklärung…
To Identify or Not to Identify
Although anonymity has been studied for well over a century, scholarship on anonymous communication has been fragmented and the role of message receivers, in particular, warrants greater attention. A theoretical model is developed here explaining receiver responses to anonymous communication. The context of the communication, degree to which the source is perceived to be anonymous, receiver’s desire to identify the source, and potential ability t…

Aún cuando el anonimato ha sido estudiado por más de un siglo, los estudios sobre la comunicación anónima han sido fragmentados y el rol de los receptores de dichos mensajes, en particular, merece una mayor atención. Desarrollamos aquí un modelo teórico que explica las respuestas de los receptores a la comunicación anónima. Proponemos que el contexto de la comunicación, el grado por el cual la fuente es percibida como anónima, el deseo del recept…

Improvisatory music and contemporary jazz in Australia
The task of documenting over 130 years of Australia's musical history is not by any means an insignificant achievement. To accomplish that task in a cogent, entertaining and fascinating account such as John Whiteoak does in Playing Ad Lib is a grand achievement
Virtually Working
Organizational trends toward team-based structures, globalization, and reliance on communication technology have spurred research addressing the communication processes of virtual teams. However, much of the extant research focuses on the ways virtual teams differ from conventional, face-to-face teams and fails to examine variations in virtual team characteristics that may impact team communication behaviors and experiences. The study reported he…
Development of a Structurational Model of Identification in the Organization
In response to the growing interest in issues related to attachment in organizations, this paper develops a theory of identification in the workplace based on three key aspects of Structuration theory. In this model, the identification process is treated as a duality involving identities that create and are created by identifications, which are themselves observed in social interactions with others. The structural component of this model is compo…

Perceived Networks, Activity Foci, and Observable Communication in Social Collectives
Research identifying important differences between perceived and observed communication networks has created the need for an integrative model to link the two phenomena. The theory described here proposes that observable communication is the result of a latent network of perceived communication relationships that is instantiated when activity foci are triggered. Giddens' (1984) structuration theory, Homans' (1950) theory of the human group, Feld'…
