Developing a Readiness mindset with trauma-informed management for crisis communication
Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically test how trauma-informed principles predict organizational commitment and satisfaction and to shed light on how a trauma-informed approach can promote a READINESS mindset. Design/methodology/approach Guided by the model of trauma-informed practices and research on crisis READINESS, we conducted an online survey with 456 communications professionals.

“You’re Dealing With Kids”
This study sought to understand the emotional, and potentially traumatic, experiences of 23 school public relations (PR) practitioners throughout the United States as they navigate a changing, and increasingly politicized, educational landscape. By arguing that school PR constitutes a high-risk profession, we sought to understand PR practitioners’ processes of communicative resilience and the degree to which it includes trauma-informed principles…
The effects of self-disclosure and gender on a climate scientist’s credibility and likability on social media
To examine whether different types of disclosure made by climate scientists on social media influence perceived source credibility (i.e. competence, integrity, benevolence) and likability, we conducted a 2 (self-disclosure type: personal vs political) × 3 (proportion of posts including a self-disclosure: 20% vs 50% vs 80%) × 2 (gender identity of scientist: male vs female) between-subjects experiment ( N = 734). We found that people liked the sci…
Emotional Responses to Wireless Emergency Alerts for Covid-19 and Predictors of Public Health Compliance
This study explored perceptions and effects of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system for COVID-19 public health messaging after a message was sent to Pennsylvania residents in November 2020. Survey and interview research were conducted to understand the targeted publics’ reactions to this message and factors impacting potential behavior change. Findings showed residents who received the WEA expressed greater feelings of anger and surprise abo…
When Home is Not Safe
While staying at home is crucial for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, there is concern that such public health measures may increase the risk for child maltreatment (CM). Using a qualitative content analysis of news coverage and a quantitative survey (N = 250) of media consumers, this study explored the framing of CM as an issue during COVID-19, as well as audience recall and perceived efficacy to prevent maltreatment. Findings from the content…
Pharmacologic and Non-Pharmacologic Treatments for Chronic Pain Used by Patients with Pain, HIV, and Depression
More Than a “Bad Apple
The Larry Nassar case is one of many abuse stories within and beyond sports. Although conventional strategies of image repair such as identifying one “bad apple” are considered effective within an ethics of justice perspective, we argue that crisis responses must adopt an ethics of care when physical and emotional harm has occurred. Using a case study approach, we qualitatively analyzed organizational responses from Michigan State University (MSU…
Know Her Name
Innovative justice focuses on crime victim needs, support, and healing outside of criminal justice systems. We use the recent public coming forward of Chanel Miller-the survivor in the Brock Turner case-to interrogate innovative justice for sexual assault survivors on social media. By qualitatively analyzing Miller's Instagram account, we found that it was a platform for innovative justice by being a visual space to process emotions, modeling gro…

Changing the Story
This study takes a qualitative approach to understanding the connections among narrative, professional identity, and reputation management in public education. Through 15 interviews and five focus groups with high-achieving teachers and administrators, researchers explored the narratives these educators share to understand and improve the story of the teaching profession. Central to the findings are societal, organizational, and community-level f…
Milling and Public Warnings
Given the potential of modern warning technology to save lives, discovering whether it is possible to craft mobile alerts for imminent events in a way that reduces people’s tendency to seek and confirm information before initiating protective action is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of designing messages for mobile devices, such as Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) messages, to minimize action delay. The impact o…
