The Influence of the US FDA Authorized Modified Exposure Claim on Heuristic Processing of Tobacco Risk Information and Marketing Message Among Young Adults
J Jun, Ali Zain et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2026
The US FDA has authorized several modified risk tobacco products (MRTPs), permitting marketing claims around modified exposure (i.e. lower exposure to harmful substances compared to cigarettes). We propose that this FDA authorization may serve as a heuristic cue, influencing how people visually attend to the U.S. Surgeon General's warning to discourage tobacco use and perceive MRTPs and their marketing messages among young tobacco users and non-u…

J Jun, Joon Kyoung Kim et al.ARTICLEMass Communication & Society2026
Anti-Asian racism has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent political events, fueling media hate and adversely affecting Asian communities. We investigate how anti-Asian racism exposure via media influences Asian activism across five dimensions—collective, financial, dialogic, online, and symbolic. Analysis of survey responses from nearly 800 Asians across the United States indicates that media racism exposure was positively associa…

Anti-intellectualism amid the Covid-19 pandemic: The discursive elements and sources of anti-Fauci tweets
Open AccessYingying Chen, J A Long et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2023
Anti-intellectualism (resentment, hostility, and mistrust of experts) has become a growing concern during the pandemic. Using topic modeling and supervised machine learning, this study examines the elements and sources of anti-Fauci tweets as a case of anti-intellectual discourse on social media.

Have E-cigarette Risk Perception and Cessation Intent of Young Adult Users Changed During the Pandemic
J Jun, Mary Anne Fitzpatrick et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Health Behavior2022
Objectives: Emerging evidence indicates that young adults who use e-cigarettes can withhold greater exposure to COVID-19 risk. We examine how young e-cigarette users perceive COVID-19 related threat of e-cigarette use and benefit of cessation as compared to traditional ones, applying the health belief model. We investigate changes of such perceptions during the pandemic and their associations with past attempt and future intent to quit e-cigarett…
The Effects of Self vs. Group Affirmation and Message Framing on College Students’ Vape-Free Campus Policy Support
J Jun, Taylor Jing Wen et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2021
A growing number of American colleges and universities have become vape-free campuses in response to the high e-cigarette use prevalence among young adults. However, little is known about communication or social-psychological factors associated with campus members' support for a tobacco policy prohibiting e-cigarette use on the campus (vape-free policy support). The present study explores the main and interaction effects of affirmation and messag…

Early news coverage of COVID-19 influenced public suspicions of Asians as being the origin and carriers of the disease, and stigmatizing and racist terms (e.g., "Kung flu", "Chinese virus", "Wuhan virus") have been improperly used to refer to the virus. The racist rhetoric, accompanied by increasing verbal and physical attacks, has impacted the lives of Asian Americans during the pandemic. The present study investigates targeted Asian Americans' …
