The model of collective information processing (MCIP)
Media information is often processed collectively—by partners, families, or peer groups—yet communication theory remains primarily focused on individuals. This article introduces the Model of Collective Information Processing (MCIP), which conceptualizes collective media processing as a group-level phenomenon. Drawing on individual information-processing theory and group research, the MCIP proposes two independent dimensions of group-level proces…
Bilingual advantage in vocabulary development
Although extensive research has been conducted on bilingual vocabulary acquisition, there is still no consensus on how to assess vocabulary development in bilingual or multilingual children under three, given the complexity of learning words in two languages. This study investigates the developmental trajectories of productive and receptive vocabularies in 157 preschool-aged mono- and bilingual children aged 3 to 6, specifically focusing on Turki…

Toward a standardized group survey. Introducing a new approach to group-level measurements in communication studies
Many phenomena relevant to communication studies occur at the group level, yet methodological options for collecting data from groups as analytical units are limited. This contribution proposes the idea of a comprehensive, standardized, online group survey approach designed for dyads and small groups. Unlike conventional methods, the group survey approach can simultaneously account for group constructs’ interactivity and heterogeneity, measure un…
Assessing vocabulary of bilingual German-Turkish preschool children
The vocabulary of bilingual children is determined by various linguistic factors that develop depending on the language input and individual factors of these children. To understand vocabulary development and to be able to support these children accordingly, the assessment instruments essentially need to be adapted to this individual process. The current study examined factors influencing productive vocabulary performance by means of explanatory …

People regularly use and discuss media content with others, such as partners, family, and friends. Such conversations increasingly occur virtually. However, few studies have examined the content and characteristics of mobile messenger communication about media content. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of 128 messenger chats about media content donated by 49 diverse groups. Based on the theoretical concept of group information processin…
Trust but verify? A social epistemology framework of knowledge acquisition and verification practices for fictional entertainment
Fictional entertainment can serve as a vivid and easily comprehensible source of knowledge, but only if audiences are able to tell its kernel of truth apart from fantasy. In this article, we use the lens of social epistemology to develop a theoretical framework of knowledge acquisition and verification practices for fictional entertainment that integrates various extant lines of work on entertainment education, perceived realism, information proc…

Distinguishing between struggling and skilled readers based on their prosodic speech patterns in oral reading
The purpose of this study was to examine if prosodic patterns in oral reading derived from Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) could distinguish between struggling and skilled German readers in Grades 2 (n = 67) and 4 (n = 69). Furthermore, we investigated whether models estimated with RQA measures outperformed models estimated with prosodic features derived from prosodic transcription. According to the findings, struggling second graders ap…
The digital transformation of knowledge order
In a proclaimed age of ‘post-truth,’ scholars have raised concerns about the spread of false information and the questioning of epistemic authorities. In this paper, we develop an analytical model to capture the digital transformation of knowledge order. Drawing on insights from social epistemology, sociology and history of knowledge, and media history, we identify epistemic practices as basic elements of knowledge order. We then analyze how epis…

The role of intuition in vaccination attitudes
This study tested the idea that faith in intuition (people's reliance on their intuition when making judgments or decisions) is negatively associated with vaccination attitudes in the U.S. populace. Intuition is an implicit, affective information processing mode based on prior experiences. U.S. citizens have few threatening experiences with vaccines because vaccination coverage for common vaccine-preventable diseases is high in the United States.…

Looking left or looking right? Effects of newspaper layout style on the perception of political news
The perception of political messages may not only be shaped by textual information, but also by its visual appearance. An online experiment investigated how newspaper articles’ layout style and text slant affect the perception of a newspapers’ political orientation on the left-right axis. The layout versions were based on a prior analysis of correlations between design and political direction of quality newspapers. Results suggest the existence o…
Design follows politics? The visualization of political orientation in newspaper page layout
This article explores how the political orientation of newspapers is reflected in their page layout. The authors compare the layouts of five German national quality newspapers exemplarily and exploratively in a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Dimensions of comparison are typography, size, colouration, quantity and arrangement of elements. Results show systematic differences between the page layouts of left-wing and right-win…
About the Uncertainties in Model Design and Their Effects
Although agent-based modeling is a strong modelling method in many aspects, its high degree of freedom in agent design can also be regarded as weakness. This freedom requires strong validation strategies during model design for empirical models, especially when models aim to be descriptive enough for policy support. Where theory or evidence does not support model design, assumptions are usually made. In these cases, arguments should be given for …
Rethinking the Tragedy of the Commons
In current research there is increasing evidence on why and how common-pool resources are successfully, i.e. sustainably, managed without the force of (often unsuccessful) top-level policy regulations. G. Hardin argued in 1968 in his Tragedy of the Commons (Hardin 1968) that commons must become depleted if users are free to choose extraction and resource use levels. In this study, we propose that socio-psychological factors can explain the succes…
