Examining the interplay of risk and affect over time
The power of numbers in natural hazard communication
What drives parents’ use of air quality indexes during wildfire smoke events: Predictors of index knowledge, frequent checking, and following health guidance
Wildfire smoke poses a serious and growing health threat to communities in the United States (US), Canada, and beyond. Some populations—including children—are especially susceptible. Air Quality Indexes (AQIs) can inform parents about local air quality during smoke events and offer guidance on actions that protect children. In July–August 2023, parents from Oregon, Washington, California, and British Columbia (BC) ( n = 2100) participated in an o…
Clearing the air: Evaluating institutions’ social media health messaging on wildfire and smoke risks in the US Pacific Northwest
This research provides practical recommendations for public health practitioners and researchers communicating wildfire smoke risks on social media. As exposures to wildfire smoke rise due to climate change, reducing the environmental disease burden requires health officials to leverage popular communication platforms, distribute necessary health-related messaging rapidly, and get the message right. Timely, evidence-based, and theory-driven messa…
From Absolution to Action: Examining Americans’ Reactions to High‐Profile Corporate Scandals
When corporations behave inappropriately, for example, by intentionally circumventing emissions regulation or jacking up the price of a life‐saving drug, assessing and assigning culpability is both natural and necessary. Such ascriptions of blame influence how consumers perceive and engage with corporations in the wake of misconduct. In a nationally representative sample of American adults, we examined how people's mental models of corporate wron…
Modeling intentions to sanction among anglers in a catch-and-release recreational fishery for golden dorado ( Salminus brasiliensis ) in Salta, Argentina
Catch-and-release (C&R) angling is a powerful tool for reducing impacts on recreationally targeted fishes. Although C&R can be mandated in fisheries through regulation, voluntary adoption and informal management are often critical due to minimal enforcement opportunities. Anglers themselves may play a role in increasing C&R adoption through interpersonal sanctioning (i.e., self-policing). To date, little research has examined factors that predict…
Public engagement with climate imagery in a changing digital landscape
Despite extensive exploration into the use of language in climate change communication, our understanding of the use of visual images, and how they relate to public perceptions of climate change, is less developed. A limited set of images have come to represent climate change, but rapid changes in the digital landscape, in the way media and information are created, conveyed, and consumed has changed the way climate change is visualized. We review…
A Corporate Scandal that Hits Close to Home: Examining Owners’ Responses to the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal
The 2015 Volkswagen Group (VW) diesel emissions scandal has affected no group of individuals more directly than owners of the affected vehicles. Yet to date no research has examined in depth how owners have responded to the scandal. This includes not only what owners have already done or plan to do with their vehicles (e.g. repair, participate in the buyback programme) but also their interpersonal communicative actions (e.g. talking with other ow…
Climate Change and Disasters: How Framing Affects Justifications for Giving or Withholding Aid to Disaster Victims
This research examined whether framing a natural disaster as the product of climate change impacts attitudes toward disaster victims and humanitarian relief. Participants ( n = 211) read an article about a famine caused by severe droughts, with one condition attributing the droughts to climate change and the other condition made no mention of climate change. All participants then responded to measures of justifications for or against providing ai…
Climate visuals: A mixed methods investigation of public perceptions of climate images in three countries
The Impact of Illusory Fatigue on Executive Control: Do Perceptions of Depletion Impair Working Memory Capacity
The human mind is quite adept at modifying and regulating thoughts, judgments, and behaviors. Recent research has demonstrated that depletion of self-regulatory resources can impair executive function through restriction of working memory capacity. The current work explored whether the mere perception of resource depletion (i.e., illusory fatigue) is sufficient to directly produce these deficits in executive control. To manipulate illusory fatigu…
Documenting the Discourse of a Hip Dixie, or, How Do We Speak of the South
Negotiating representations in increasingly complex multicultural contexts is central to educational work. The authors use Rosenbaum & Douglas's 2003 documentary Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus to explore paradoxical representations of White Southern men. Notions of white privilege, while applicable, are insufficient when one considers the White Southerners' lack of access to political power and the cultural coding that presumes reactionary, v…
Mental Health Promotion in Public Health: Perspectives and Strategies From Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is the study of what is “right” about people—their positive attributes, psychological assets, and strengths. Its aim is to understand and foster the factors that allow individuals, communities, and societies to thrive. Cross-sectional, experimental, and longitudinal research demonstrates that positive emotions are associated with numerous benefits related to health, work, family, and economic status. Growing biomedical researc…
Seminar on Narcotics Problems in Developing Countries in Africa
While most African countries have no real cause for alarm concerning narcotic drug addiction and illicit trafficking, the possibilities for the future in such a huge and rapidly changing area call for the utmost vigilance. Only in this way can the tragedy of large-scale addiction which has afflicted other wide regions of the world be avoided. Urbanisation, internal migration, and detribalisation are factors which might well sow the seeds of futur…
