Acceptance or Challenge? The Effects of Parental Confirmation on College Students’ (Un)Healthy Eating in the U.S. and China
A tale of two paths
Purpose The purpose of the study was to assess whether and how communication medium (i.e. face-to-face vs text-based instant messaging) moderates the processes through which two contrastive, discrete emotions (i.e. anger and compassion) influence dispute resolution tactics and relational outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A total of 254 participants formed same-sex negotiation dyads to resolve a dispute between roommates either face-to-face (F…
Navigating (Dis)empowerment
Research has shown a dramatic increase of eating disorders (EDs) among young people during disruptive times. Understanding the role of communication in impeding or enacting resilience not only helps those with EDs develop better strategies for coping and changing their lives but can also inform effective interventions at familial, community, and system levels. Guided by the communication theory of resilience (CTR), our study explores how college …

Quality of care for acute ischemic stroke in China during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has deepened the gap between optimal care and clinical practice, which then gradually improved. During the pandemic, high-quality care was important to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes, but there were gender and age differences in the provision of health-care quality
Trends in care quality in China from 2011 to 2017
Background: The Ministry of Health of China conducted a study targeting in single-disease quality control in 2009, aimed to strengthen quality management and improve health care services. This study retrospectively investigated the trends of quality indicators for six monitored diseases 2011-2017 to evaluate the improvement of care quality for the first batch of single-disease. Methods: We extracted data from the National Specific (Single) Diseas…
Quality of Care for Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in Pakistan
A wide variation exists in the practice patterns of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care worldwide, leading to differences in clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the quality of process care and its impact on in-hospital outcomes among AMI patients in Pakistan, as no such study has been conducted in Pakistan thus far based upon recommended guidelines. We investigated a sample of 2663 AMI patients across 11 territory hospitals in Punja…
Ethnically Chinese and culturally American
While many studies on international/interracial adoptees were conducted quantitatively with adoptees, or by various research methods from the perspective of adoptive parents, this study seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of how Chinese born, American adopted individuals perceive, make sense of, and negotiate their bicultural identities as they transition into adulthood by exploring the narratives of 10 such women. Grounded in the interpretiv…
Standpoints of Maternity Leave
Our standpoint analysis of 21 women in pink-collar occupations displays how these workers both adhere to and challenge maternity leave discourses by rhetorically positioning their leaves as time off and (dis)ability. They both acknowledge the advantages of and resist discourses of time and (dis)ability by constructing complicated, contradictory, and ironic knowledge that such language both secures their leaves and revokes their images as competen…
The Role of Person-Culture Fit in Chinese Students' Cultural Adjustment in the United States
This article used a Galileo multidimensional scaling model to explain how intercultural communication affected sojourners' wellbeing in their host culture through the convergence of the mental models between sojourners and host nationals with whom the sojourners communicated. Participants were 126 sojourning Chinese in the United States and 30 associated domestic Americans. Data were collected shortly after the Chinese sojourners arrived in the U…
The Mediating Effect of Body Mass Index on the Relationship between Cigarette Smoking and Atopic Sensitization in Chinese Adults
BMI appeared to partially mediate the effect of light smoking on sensitization to aeroallergens. However, considering the other harmful health effects of cigarette smoking, the effective method to lower the incidence of atopy would be to decrease body fat mass by physical exercise and employing other more healthy ways of living rather than smoking
Effect modification by gender and smoking status on the association between obesity and atopic sensitization in Chinese adults
Obesity is positively and significantly associated with the risk of atopy in both men and women as well in both smokers and non-smokers in China. In addition, the relationship between obesity and atopic sensitization is stronger in non-smokers than in current smokers

Association between obesity and atopic disorders in Chinese adults
Obesity is positively associated with the presence of atopic diseases in Chinese adults. Specifically, obesity is significantly associated with atopic dermatitis and rhinitis. Our findings warrant further investigation on the causal nature between obesity and atopic diseases and the effect of weight reduction on preventing atopic diseases
Cultural Similarities and Differences in Seeking Social Support as a Means of Coping
Two studies examined similarities and differences in how European Americans and Chinese view seeking social support as a strategy for coping with an upset. Participants (407 European Americans and 595 Chinese) completed instruments assessing the appropriateness of seeking social support and several self-reliant coping strategies (problem-solving, emotion management, avoidance) when confronting upsets. Both studies detected cultural and sex differ…
The Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Effects of Anger on Negotiation Strategies
This study assessed the effects of negotiators' anger on their own and their counterparts' use of negotiation strategies and whether such effects were moderated by national culture. Participants (N = 130) were 66 sojourning Chinese and 64 Americans who performed an intracultural negotiation simulation. Findings indicated that (a) anger caused negotiators to use more positional statements and propose fewer integrative offers, (b) anger caused the …
Male and Female Adult Population Health Status in China
Males had better health status than females in terms of self-perceived wellbeing, presence of illness, chronic disease, and quality of life. However, smoking and frequent alcohol drinking was more prevalent among males than that among females. In contrast with the social-economic gradient in health commonly found in the literature, the wealthier urban population in China was not found to be healthier than the rural population in terms of physicia…
They Allowed”
This study expands applications of Burkean pentadic mapping from traditional rhetorical texts, such as speeches and written documents, to interview discourses. This methodological adaptation assists scholars in understanding openings and closings, that is, opportunities and constraints, in discourses in a variety of communication areas. In particular, pentadic mapping is a way of discovering discursive paths for empowerment and transformation. Th…
Different Transitions into Working Motherhood
Little is known about how diverse women perceive, talk about, and enact their transitions into working motherhood in ways that reflect (and are shaped by) their social identities. While we do not mean to imply that these 16 Asian, Hispanic, and African American women are representative of the variety of women who self-categorize themselves in these particular identity groups, we do want to display the ways in which their discourses about their tr…
It's `give and take
To examine maternity leave as a gendered conflict management process, we analyzed a sample of interviews (from a larger data set of 102 interviews) with 26 women who reported feeling discouraged ( n = 15) or encouraged ( n = 11) about their employment status and career opportunities at the times of their leaves. Whereas these two groups of women converged on perceptions of a) incompatible (individual and organizational) goals and b) increased str…
Rural and Urban Disparity in Health Services Utilization in China
OBJECTIVES: To describe patterns in physician and hospital utilization among rural and urban populations in China and to determine factors associated with any differences. METHODS: In 2003, the Third National Health Services Survey in China was conducted to collect information about health services utilization from randomly selected residents. Of the 193,689 respondents to the survey (response rate, 77.8%), 6429 urban and 16,044 rural respondents…
A Fluency of Feeling
The present study presents a multilevel analysis of cultural level and individual level differences in the evaluation of emotional support message strategies and interactive support goals. This is done in an effort to distinguish cultural norms regarding social support (i.e., recognizing what counts as an effective message) from a sense of cultural efficacy in social support (i.e., the motivation to provide effective support) and furthermore, to …
