The Antecedents and Consequences of Interpersonal Communication during a School-based Health Intervention
School-based health interventions often have limited and inconsistent effects. Although interpersonal communication likely is important, hardly any studies have investigated interpersonal communication of students with their friends, classmates, and parents about the health programs and health behaviors in school-based health interventions. In a two-wave prospective study of 389 adolescents focusing on three health behaviors (i.e., alcohol use, s…
Topical Advertising in enduring events: The role of timing and creativity in engagement with social media brand messages during Covid-19
Research has showed that aligning brand messages with topical events is a success formula for evoking positive consumer responses, in which ad creativity (i.e., originality, meaningfulness, and craftsmanship) and timing (i.e., the time between the start of an event and the appearance of a Topical Advertising message) play a pivotal role. This was demonstrated in the context of short, ending topical events. Less is known about the effects of align…
How Audience Diversity Affects Consumers’ Creation of Brand Posts on Facebook: A Cross Cultural Examination
The purpose of this study is to investigate cultural influence on the creation of brand-related posts on Facebook, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of the diversity of user audiences, as well as the intensity of Facebook use. The online survey was conducted with a representative sample of respondents from South Korea, Thailand, the Netherlands, and the United States (N = 802). The findings show that cultural differences at both pers…
How Much Time Do You Spend Online? Understanding and Improving the Accuracy of Self-Reported Measures of Internet Use
Given the importance of survey measures of online media use for communication research, it is crucial to assess and improve their quality, in particular because the increasingly fragmented and ubiquitous usage of internet complicates the accuracy of self-reported measures. This study contributes to the discussion regarding the accuracy of self-reported internet use by presenting relevant factors potentially affecting biases of self-reports and te…
Measuring Media Exposure in a Changing Communications Environment
The measurement of how people are “exposed” to media content, which is crucial for the understanding of media use and effects, has been a challenge for a long time. Today’s media landscape, in which individuals are exposed to a diversity of messages anytime, anywhere, and from a great variety of sources on an increasing number of different media platforms, has complicated the measurement of media exposure even more. However, today’s digital media…
Digital replica editions versus printed newspapers: Different reading styles? Different recall
This article investigates reading styles and recall of the news from reading digital replicas of printed newspapers on tablets and compares them with the printed version. The study aims to theoretically understand the effects of the medium interface (tablet vs paper) on perceived reading style and recall of information. The experimental study ( N = 90) showed that digital replicas were not perceived to be read in a more fragmented, selective, or …
The Differential Impact of Statistical and Narrative Evidence on Beliefs, Attitude, and Intention: A Meta-Analysis
The effects of narrative versus non-narrative information in school health education about alcohol drinking for low educated adolescents
It is concluded non-narrative and narrative information are equally effective in the context of school health education, suggesting the claims that scholars have made about the superior effects of narrative texts are not true. Given the fact that narrative texts are more expensive to develop, policy makers may not be advised to prefer these types of texts over the traditionally used non-narrative texts
A Tribute to Professor Wolfgang Donsbach
The WAPOR/IJPOR community was shocked and saddened by the unexpected passing of Professor Wolfgang Donsbach. He leaves behind an outstanding legacy of contributions to public opinion research and the social sciences, more generally. He was a scholar, a public intellectual, a mentor, and an institution builder. The International Journal of Public Opinion Research would not be what it is today without Professor Donsbach. He twice served as the jour…
Values in UN speeches: Understanding the speechwriters’ perspectives
The presence of values in politically charged speeches delivered by mediating organizations such as the United Nations (UN) contributes towards the attainment of world peace. This study investigated factors that contribute towards the inclusion of values in political speeches written for the delivery of UN representatives to audiences of dev-eloped and developing countries. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on 13 current and former, full-…
Sponsorship Disclosure: Effects of Duration on Persuasion Knowledge and Brand Responses
This study examined how sponsorship disclosure on television influences persuasion knowledge and brand responses (i.e., brand memory and brand attitude). Moreover, we tested whether extending disclosure duration increases its effect. By conducting an experiment (N = 116) we compared the effects of no disclosure to a 3-second and a 6-second disclosure. Results showed that especially a 6-second disclosure activates conceptual and consequently attit…

Values in the News: Comparing the news coverage of political speeches in developed and developing countries
The presence of values in political speeches and how those values are depicted by journalists in the news are important factors contributing towards the formation of public opinion. A content analysis of online news articles from 10 countries spanning a decade was conducted to investigate these factors and how they differ between developed and developing countries. Combining the Basic Human Values Model with the concept of journalism practices of…
The Ironic Effect of Source Identification on the Perceived Credibility of Online Product Reviewers: The Ironic Effect of Source Identification
This study posits that sources of online product reviews can induce differential effects on 2 dimensions of source credibility, perceived expertise and perceived trustworthiness. Study 1 shows that experts are perceived as having more expert knowledge, but at the same time as having less trustworthiness than laypersons, and vice versa. These opposing credibility evaluations suppress the effect of online source identification on readers' attitudes…

Helping Citizens Decide in Referendums: The Moderating Effect of Political Sophistication on the Use of the Information and Choice Questionnaire as a Decision Aid
Voters often lack sufficient knowledge to make educated decisions. We investigated how a decision aid--the Information and Choice Questionnaire (ICQ)—helped them make more consistent decisions. The ICQ is designed for large-scale use and provides voters with information about a specific problem before asking them for their opinions. It provides citizens with information summarizing a full range of viable policy options and the probable consequenc…

The Dynamics of Opinion Formation in Local Popular Referendums: Why the Dutch Always Say No
There is growing research on voting behavior in referendums. However, the dynamics of opinion formation in popular referendums, referendums initiated by the electorate to approve or reject decisions made by representative bodies, has not yet been studied. This is especially unfortunate as voting decisions in popular referendums differ from those in other referendums in interesting ways. Opinion formation can be a very dynamic process in popular r…
Negotiation Support Systems: Communication and Information as Antecedents of Negotiation Settlement
Innovative approaches such as the use of technology in negotiations raise questions of how technology interacts with the manifold contextual factors that play a role in negotiations. In this article, we introduce a theoretical framework that seeks to inform the design of Negotiation Support Systems (NSS) by focusing on two antecedents of negotiation success. On the one hand, we argue that NSS should stimulate a common (cultural) identity among th…
