Towards the responsible development of microbiome engineering in the built environment
This Perspective calls for a transdisciplinary framework for the responsible advancement of Microbiome Engineering of the Built Environment (MEoBE). Acknowledging MEoBE's potential to improve public health, we highlight the need for early core practices and principles incorporating societal and ethical considerations. We propose integrating Responsible Research and Innovation (AIRR: anticipation, inclusion, responsiveness, reflexivity) with the N…
Experiences with household mold and perceptions of microbiome engineering to mitigate mold
Background: Mold, biologically defined as fungal mold, is frequently identified as a household concern, especially in humid and coastal regions where conditions favor growth. Yet, the ways residents recognize, experience, and manage mold in their daily lives remain understudied. In recent years, emerging mold-control strategies, such as microbiome-engineering technologies, are increasing in application and attracting the interest of homeowners. H…
The world needs less plastic: The role of psychological distance and self-efficacy in environmental messages
This study examines the role of lowering psychological distance and increasing self-efficacy around plastic pollution through environmental media messages. Participants ( N = 215) were randomly assigned to watch a short video (30–60 s) that was either generalized or localized to the state of the participant’s residency and that did or did not include a self-efficacy message in this 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment. Results indicate that message …
Pooshing the Boundaries of Instagram Influencers: How Mainstream vs. Micro-celebrity Influencers Impact Source Credibility, Parasocial Interaction, and Intent to Follow
Individuals are increasingly turning to health influencers on social media for advice about nutrition, exercise, wellness, and more. This study addressed the impacts of two mechanisms of social influence—source credibility and parasocial interaction—on intent to follow health influencers. An online experiment of 202 participants was conducted to compare a celebrity health influencer and a micro-celebrity health influencer on Instagram. Results sh…
Taking the temperature of the United States public regarding microbiome engineering
This paper presents the first representative survey of U.S. adults’ opinions on microbiome engineering within the built environment, revealing public awareness, perceived benefits and risks, and attitudes toward genetically engineered microbiomes. Using data from a cross-sectional survey of 1,000 nationally representative U.S. residents over 18 years of age, we examined demographic and cultural factors influencing public sentiment. Results indica…
The Impact of Pretrial Publicity on “Eye for an Eye” Retributivist Support and Malicious Perceptions of Criminal Offenders
This study explores the associative influence of pretrial publicity on (a) an individual's perceptions of a criminal offender as malicious and (b) an individual's judgment of the criminal offender's punishment for the crime. Expanding on the uses of agenda-setting and framing theories, this research indicates that attention to pretrial news media about a specific criminal is significantly associated with negative judgments of a criminal offender.…
The Indirect Effects of Partisanship and Partisan Media on Knowledge About Same-Sex Marriage Policy: Exploring the Knowledge and Belief Gap Hypotheses
This study applies the knowledge gap and the belief gap hypotheses to explore knowledge about same-sex marriage rights in the United States. Whereas the knowledge gap predicts that individuals of higher socioeconomic status will be better informed on political issues, the belief gap suggests that that political ideology is a stronger predictor of knowledge and beliefs than education or income levels. Results from this study indicated that higher …
Satire as uncertain territory: Uncertainty expression in discussion about political satire, opinion, and news
This study integrates satire literature and uncertainty-based theories in order to introduce more theoretical organization into the political communication and discussion literature. In doing so, the main goals of this study are (1) to bring conceptual organization to various types of political messages (i.e., satire and news), (2) to show how and why satire, in particular, is linked with uncertainty, and (3) to examine the extent to which satire…
Humor Works in Funny Ways: Examining Satirical Tone as a Key Determinant in Political Humor Message Processing
This multi-experiment study builds upon extant political entertainment theory, testing whether satire type (horatian versus juvenalian) cues varying processing mechanisms (message discounting versus resource allocation), and if consequential differences to argument scrutiny levels or message persuasiveness result. Using novel stimuli (e.g., animated cartoons, study one) and real-world late-night political satire (The Daily Show and The Colbert Re…

Filtering 2008 US presidential election news on YouTube by elites and nonelites: An examination of the democratizing potential of the internet
The goals of this study are to explore several claims about the democratizing potential of the internet and to extend gatekeeping theory into user-generated content (UGC) domain. A quantitative content analysis of the most popular YouTube political news videos during the 2008 US presidential election was conducted to investigate the degree to which nonelites were able to partake in mainstream public discourse. We found that elites dominated first…
The Influence of Late-Night TV Comedy Viewing on Political Talk: A Moderated-Mediation Model
This study is focused on the influence of late-night TV comedy viewing on political talk. It is posited that debate viewing serves as a mediator of this relationship, and age is argued to be a moderator of the association between late-night TV comedy viewing and debate viewing. More specific to age, it is hypothesized that the predictive value of late-night TV comedy for political debate consumption will be greater for those audience members who …
The Irony of Satire: Political Ideology and the Motivation to See What You Want to See in The Colbert Report
This study investigated biased message processing of political satire in The Colbert Report and the influence of political ideology on perceptions of Stephen Colbert. Results indicate that political ideology influences biased processing of ambiguous political messages and source in late-night comedy. Using data from an experiment ( N = 332), we found that individual-level political ideology significantly predicted perceptions of Colbert's politic…
When is Fiction as Good as Fact? Comparing the Influence of Documentary and Historical Reenactment Films on Engagement, Affect, Issue Interest, and Learning
This study advances documentary film effects research by comparing the influence of a political documentary with a historical reenactment film on narrative engagement, affect, learning, and interest. Using the Rwandan genocide as a context of study, a documentary film, The Triumph of Evil, and the historical reenactment fictional film, Hotel Rwanda, were examined. Results revealed significant differences between documentary and historical reenact…
The Effects of Political Advertising on Young Voters
Political advertising effects on candidate evaluations, issue recall, political cynicism, and gender differences are explored in this pretest-posttest examination of 764 young adult participants. Results show no major gender differences in evaluation of candidates. Participants reported learning more about Bush's image and more about Kerry's issues through the ads. Exposure to ads did not produce increased cynicism among the participants but sign…
