Understanding information credibility evaluation on bounded social media places
Early gesture use predicts children’s language development in South Korea
Research in the U.S. and other Western countries shows that children’s early gesture use, which starts prior to verbal communication, is an important predictor of children’s later language development. Despite increasing efforts to study gesture use in diverse contexts, most of our knowledge on the role of gesture is largely based on populations of Western countries. In this study, we add to the growing body of international research by examining…
The emotional effects of multimodal disinformation
Disinformation presented in multiple modalities (textual, visual, and auditory modes; multimodal disinformation) has become a serious concern. This study examines how disinformation, portrayed using an image or video format, may be more powerful than text-only disinformation. In particular, we examined the impact on affective mechanisms, as well as the moderating role of perceived issue relevance. Through an online experiment with modality condit…
The Effect of Deepfake Video on News Credibility and Corrective Influence of Cost-Based Knowledge about Deepfakes
With rapid technical advancements, deepfakes—i.e., hyper-realistic fake videos using face swaps—have become more widespread and easier to create, challenging the old notion of “seeing is believing.” Despite raised concerns over potential impacts of deepfakes on people’s credibility toward audio-visual evidence in journalism, systematic investigation of the topic has been lacking. This study conducted an experiment (N = 230) that tested (1) how a …
Something that They Never Said
While deepfake has emerged as a severe issue in the multimedia environment, most studies examined text-based false claims, leaving the question of what unique features of video-based deepfake news deceives recipients and how it can be corrected. By conducting two online experiments, we study perceived source vividness as a psychological mechanism of the effect of AI-enabled deepfake news on news credibility and engagement intentions. Furthermore,…
How Reading Information on SNSs Influences Interpersonal and Personal Certainties about a Target
Although social network sites (SNSs) carry a wide range of information about a person, previous research discovered they did not reduce uncertainties about the person as well as direct interactions with the person. This paradox prompted a conceptual distinction between interpersonal and personal uncertainties. With a web-based experiment (N = 216), the study tested how one may gain personal and interpersonal certainties about a target person from…
The effects of self-viewing in video chat during interpersonal work conversations
With the growing use of video chat in daily life, it is critical to understand how visual communication channels affect interpersonal relationships. A potentially important feature that distinguishes video chats from face-to-face interactions is the communicators’ ability to see themselves during the interaction. Our purpose was to determine the effects of self-viewing on the process and outcome of a workplace confrontation. A dyadic experiment w…
Pathways between family SES, parent characteristics, early experiences, and child language outcomes in South Korea
Whereas previous research has examined the role that parenting and home environments play in explaining the relation between family socioeconomic status and children's language development in the United States, relatively little is known about the associations between these constructs in other cultures. This study tested an integrated model of language development within a longitudinal data set of 1,894 socioeconomically diverse Korean children (…
Mediated Misinformation
With the rampant increase of misinformation produced and distributed online at an alarming rate, it has become more imperative than ever to understand what makes people fall for misinformation. Drawing on the literature on persuasion, credibility of online information, and digital deception, we first review a list of factors associated with the source, message, channel, and receiver that may alter the extent to which people judge information as t…
Suddenly Diverse
Public schools in the United States are serving students from increasingly diverse racial, socioeconomic, and linguistic backgrounds. According to a 2018 report (de Brey et al., 2019), almost 50 percent of school-aged children in the US are children of color, an increase from 37 percent in 2000; approximately 20 percent of school-aged children are living in poverty, consistent with a relatively steady trend that ranged from 16 percent in 2000 to …
Redefining Success in America
Why would anyone want to get a degree from Harvard University? For many, the answer seems so obvious as to not need an explanation. In addition to its potential to launch a successful and lucrative career, a degree from such a prestigious institution means that you have successfully beaten the competition—and a good, happy life awaits. But is the prospect of economic security enough to guarantee a happy life?In Redefining Success in America: A Ne…
Time-Dependent Effects of Relational Composition on the Success of Online Wellness Challenge Groups
This study aims to examine time-dependent effects of group-level relational composition, including the number and cohesion of prior online relationships and multiple-group membership (MGM), on the success of online wellness challenge groups (OWCGs) in promoting positive health behavior among group members. Bridging literature on online groups and social networks for health, this study collected data on 1,252 OWCGs and conducted analyses on how re…
The Influence of Responses to Self-Disclosure on Liking in Computer-Mediated Communication
The relationship between self-disclosure and liking another person is well-known, as is the prevalence and importance of self-disclosure in computer-mediated interactions. The effects of conversation partners’ responses to disclosures are an overlooked issue, implicated but not examined in most previous research. An original experiment examined whether different forms of response to self-disclosure in computer-mediated communication affect liking…

Are They Talking to Me? Cognitive and Affective Effects of Interactivity in Politicians' Twitter Communication
The present study investigated when and how the level of interactivity in politicians' Twitter communication affects the public's cognitive and affective reactions. In a Web-based experiment ( n =264), participants viewed a high profile male politician's Twitter page, wherein he was either actively responding to his followers' questions (high interactivity) or mostly posting messages on his own (low interactivity). Exposure to the high-interactiv…
