Exploring the Influence of Open-Mindedness and Social Identity on Opinion Polarization in a Modified Hegselmann-Krause Model
In this article, we further develop agent-based simulations on an extended Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model with social identity dynamics.In Kalvas et al. ( 2023) we introduced a model of opinion dynamics in which agents were bounded in communication based on differences in opinion and identity, the latter being modeled as dynamic group assignments dependent on the state of the opinion space at any given time and the observer's sensitivity to opinion…
When Counterarguing Becomes the Primary Task: Examination of Dogmatic Anti-Vaping Messages on Psychological Reactance, Available Cognitive Resources, and Memory
This study tested Psychological Reactance Theory and the Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing by examining participants’ (N = 155 young adult, ever-vapers) cognitive and affective responses to anti-vaping public service announcements (PSAs) featuring dogmatic or suggestive language. Ever-vapers in the dogmatic PSA condition were predicted to report greater perceived freedom threats, anger and counterarguments, and inten…

Sociodemographic correlates of self-reported exposure to e-cigarette communications and its association with public support for smoke-free and vape-free policies: Results from a national survey of US …
Further research is needed to assess whether messages portraying e-cigarettes as a way to circumvent smoking restrictions from advertisements and other media are influencing public support for vape-free policies. These findings provide empirical evidence to inform the policy debate over regulating specific e-cigarette advertising claims
Association of Strong Smoke-Free Laws With Dentists’ Advice to Quit Smoking, 2006–2007
Objectives. We examined the association of smoke-free laws with dentists’ advice to quit smoking and referral to a quit line, among smokers who reported visiting the dentist in the past 12 months. Methods. We used the 2006 to 2007 Tobacco Use Supplement of the Current Population Survey merged with the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation Local Ordinance Database of smoke-free laws. The dependent variables were advice from a dentist to quit smok…
Applying linguistic methods to understanding smoking-related conversations on Twitter: Table 1
Introduction Social media, such as Twitter, have become major channels of communication and commentary on popular culture, including conversations on our nation9s leading addiction: tobacco. The current study examined Twitter conversations following two tobacco-related events in the media: (1) President Obama’s doctor announcing that he had quit smoking and (2) the release of a photograph of Miley Cyrus (a former Disney child star) smoking a ciga…
The Pattern of Indoor Smoking Restriction Law Transitions, 1970–2009: Laws Are Sticky
Objectives. We examined the pattern of the passage of smoking laws across venues (government and private workplaces, restaurants, bars) and by strength (no law to 100% smoke-free). Methods. We conducted transition analyses of local and state smoking restrictions passed between 1970 and 2009, with data from the Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights Ordinance Database. Results. Each decade, more laws were enacted, from 18 passed in the 1970s to 3172 in …
Effect of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and Voluntary Industry Health Warning Labels on Passage of Mandated Cigarette Warning Labels From 1965 to 2012: Transition Probability and Event H…
Objectives. We quantified the pattern and passage rate of cigarette package health warning labels (HWLs), including the effect of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and HWLs voluntarily implemented by tobacco companies. Methods. We used transition probability matrices to describe the pattern of HWL passage and change rate in 4 periods. We used event history analysis to estimate the effect of the FCTC on adoption and to compare tha…
Strong Smoke-Free Law Coverage in the United States by Race/Ethnicity: 2000–2009
Objectives. We determined whether racial/ethnic disparities existed in coverage by type of 100% smoke-free private workplace, restaurant, and bar laws from 2000 to 2009. Methods. We combined US census population data and the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation US Tobacco Control Database to calculate the percentage of individuals in counties covered by each type of law by race/ethnicity from 2000 to 2009. Results. More of the US Hispanic and A…
Motivated message processing: How motivational activation influences resource allocation, encoding, and storage of TV messages
Visual Attention to Antismoking PSAs: Smoking Cues Versus Other Attention-Grabbing Features
This study examines how addicted smokers attend visually to smoking-related public service announcements (PSAs) in adults smokers. Smokers' onscreen visual fixation is an indicator of cognitive resources allocated to visual attention. Characteristic of individuals with addictive tendencies, smokers are expected to be appetitively activated by images of their addiction-specifically smoking cues. At the same time, these cues are embedded in message…
IMing, Text Messaging, and Adolescent Social Networks
Building on previous research in computer-mediated communication, social and communication networks, and adolescent development, this article raises three issues regarding adolescent use of socially interactive technologies (SITs) and their relationship to offline social networks: 1) whether adolescents are creating more, but weaker ties using SITs, 2) to what extent adolescent SIT-facilitated networks overlap with friendship networks, and 3) whe…
