How Political Identification and Individual Differences Influence Black Lives Matter Message Reactions
Consistency theory, positing that individuals process information based on preexisting attitudes, is particularly relevant in today’s polarized political climate. This study investigates the impact of political identification, demographics, and individual differences (dogmatism, authoritarianism, and symbolic racism), on liberals’ and conservatives’ agreement and endorsement tendencies toward Black Lives Matter (BLM) tweets. A diverse sample of 3…
Public communication and outreach by mosquito programs in the United States
Blood feeding female mosquitoes cause itchy welts and can transmit pathogens that cause diseases such as chikungunya, malaria, West Nile encephalitis, and Zika. Mosquito control programs conduct mosquito, pathogen, and epidemiological surveillance, carry out source reduction, treat mosquito habitats with larvicides or adulticides, and disseminate information to the public. Here, 100 organizations (e.g., private/public mosquito control programs, n…
Campus Integration and Campus Climate at a Predominantly White Institution in the South
Decades after Brown v. Board of Education, the tide has reversed back to school resegregation. Given the racial tensions, reports of racial microaggressions, and a resurgence of hate crimes on campus, the current study investigated the college students’ perception of campus climate and racial integration. In a predominantly White institution (PWI) in the Southern United States, we examined students’ ethnic identity, perceived interracial climate,…
Facebook and mosquito-borne disease outbreaks: An analysis of public responses to federal health agencies’ posts about dengue and Zika in 2016
Responses of Facebook users to four United States federal health agencies’ social media posts about dengue and Zika (mosquito-borne diseases), surveillance, and control during the Zika outbreak in 2016 were tracked. Official Facebook pages of health agencies were analyzed, and a qualitative analysis program was used to perform a thematic analysis of the data on public responses to health agency posts. Public sentiment analysis showed that Faceboo…

Cultural Variations in Accounts by American and Japanese Young Adults: Recalling a Major Conflict With Parents
American (N = 208) and Japanese young adults (N = 181) were asked to recall a major conflict with their parents for our study on cross-cultural variations in family communication. Reported conflict episodes were coded on: 1) topical content, 2) conflict strategy used by the parents, 3) conflict strategy used by the young adults, 4) outcome, and 5) reported consequences of the conflict. In both countries, four categories of conflict were identifie…
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Family Communication Patterns and Conflict Between Young Adults and Parents
Young adults in Japan (n = 173) and the United States (n = 131) completed surveys including Ritchie and Fitzpatrick's (1990) Ritchie, L. D. and Fitzpatrick, M. A. 1990.

A Multimethod Multitrait Validity Assessment of Self-Construal in Japan, Korea, and the United States
A large number of previous studies have used self-construal to predict communication outcomes. Recent evidence, however, suggests that validity problems may exist in self-construal measurement. The current study conducted a multimethod multitrait (Campbell & Fiske, 1959) validation study of self-construal measures with data (total N= 578) collected in Korea (N= 200), Japan (N= 212), and the U.S. (N= 166). The data showed that the Singelis (1994) …
Self-Construal Scales Lack Validity
Self-construal is thought to mediate and explain the effects of culture on a wide variety of outcome variables. A meta-analysis of published cross-cultural self-construal research is reported in this article, and the results across studies suggests that the evidence for the predicted cultural differences is weak, inconsistent, or nonexistent. The results of 3 priming experiments (N = 121, N = 99, and N = 361) suggest that (a) priming does not acc…
