  • They Would get the ‘Heebeejeebees’: Indirect and Direct Family Socialization of Heteronormativity

    Open Access•Mackensie J Minniear, Jordan Soliz et al.•ARTICLE•Sexuality & Culture•2025•References: 10

    Families are often a primary site of socialization, which can intentionally or unintentionally have lasting impacts on children’s attitudes towards outgroup members. Guided by queer theory and intergroup communication, we investigated the direct and indirect family socialization messages from 597 heterosexual cisgender college students recalled from their families regarding the LGBTQ + community. This investigation illuminated the type of message…

  • Difficult conversations concerning identity and difference: Diverse approaches and perspectives

    Open Access•Jordan Soliz, Ramasubramanian et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2023

    This essay is an introduction to the special issue on “Difficult Conversations Concerning Identity and Difference.” The essay begins with our argument that inquiries into difficult conversations are important as these interactions are key to addressing social inequities, creating and/or maintaining community and relational solidarity, amplifying voices of marginalized populations and/or diverse experiences, and enacting social change. Following t…

  • Ego-centered network analysis of ethnic-racial socialization in families

    Mackensie J Minniear, Jordan Soliz et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2023•References: 30

    Ethnic-racial socialization refers to the implicit and explicit ways individuals learn about race and ethnicity from family, media, community, and peers (Hughes et al., Citation2016). Ethnic-racial socialization is a central part of familial conversations for Black, Indigenous, and families of color. This research uses ego-centered network analysis to explore the different patterns and meaning-making in families when discussing issues of race and…

  • Examining and evaluating multilevel communication within a mixed-methods, community-based participatory research project in a rural, minority–majority U.S. Town

    Angela L Palmer-Wackerly, María Silvina Reyes et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Applied Communication…•2021

    Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been shown to improve health and social well-being by including diverse, marginalized community voices within academic–community partnerships. Although CBPR has gained in popularity, an explicit examination and evaluation of communication processes and outcomes throughout an entire CBPR project is lacking. Here, we analyze interviews with 10 stakeholders (i.e. 4 academic and 6 community partners) …

  • Ethnic Comparisons in Perceptions of Health, Happiness, Hope, and Related Social Determinants of Health in a Majority-Minority Midwestern Town

    Virginia Chaidez, Yumou Qiu et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sociology & Social…•2021

    In a rural Midwestern community sample (n=273), large proportions of Somalis and Whites ranked overall health as "Very good" (57% and 50%, respectively), while Hispanics (42%) considered it "Good". Across all groups, most are either "Happy" or "Very happy" with their jobs—64%, 91%, 83%—or their families—85%, 93%, 91.6%— with reference to Hispanics, Somalis, and Whites, respectively. When asked “In the past 30 days, how often did you feel hopeless…

  • Emotional support and mental health among Somali men in a rural Midwestern town

    Julie A Tippens, Gilbert R Parra et al.•ARTICLE•Rural Mental Health•2020

    Perceived social support has been correlated with refugees’ positive mental health outcomes; yet, little is known about the perceived sources of support after secondary migration to new-destination rural towns. Somali refugee men (n _ 49) residing in a rural Midwest United States community were recruited using respondent-driven sampling to complete a self-administered structured survey in English or Somali using audio computer-assisted self-inter…

  • Examining the Role of Sibling Interaction in Multiethnic-racial Identity Development in the United States

    Megan E Cardwell, Jordan Soliz•ARTICLE•Identity•2020

    Ethnic-racial identity (ERI) is tied to wellbeing, especially for ethnic-racial minority individuals, and the process of ERI development is inherently social. However, much of the research on ERI development has focused on ethnic-racial socialization processes between parents and children, despite the fact that sibling relationships tend to be integral to individuals’ development and adjustment. Further, ethnic-racial socialization research tends…

  • Critical incidents in the development of (multi)ethnic-racial identity: Experiences of individuals with mixed ethnic-racial backgrounds in the U.S

    Open Access•Megan E Cardwell, Jordan Soliz et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2020•Cited by: 11•References: 29

    Secure ethnic-racial identity (ERI) is tied to well-being, especially for minority individuals; however, there is still little consensus on the key processes and optimal outcomes of various multiethnic-racial (ME-R; i.e., individuals with parents from different ethnic-racial groups) identity development models. In this study, we examine the critical incidents in personal and social relationships that are central to ME-R identity development. Twen…

  • Family Communication and Messages about Race and Identity in Black Families in the United States

    Mackensie J Minniear, Jordan Soliz•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Communication•2019•Cited by: 20•References: 16

    Racial minority families engage in “racial socialization,” the process by which individuals develop meaning and understanding of what race is, and its implications. While parents are often seen as the site of this socialization, we wanted to explore which racial socialization messages were salient for young adults, and from whom they received these messages. This paper utilized focus groups to explore messages that young Black adults received abo…

  • Investigating the Interplay Between Identity Gaps and Communication Patterns in Predicting Relational Intentions in Families in the United States

    Open Access•Kaitlin E Phillips, Andrew M Ledbetter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2018

    We tested the degree to which identity gaps mediate the association between family communication patterns and relational intentions. Participants included 498 emerging adults from the United States. Both personal-enacted and relational-communal identity gaps mediated the relationship between conversation and conformity orientation and relational intentions. Moreover, family identification (the extent to which one feels a sense of connection with …

    Guided by Communication Accommodation Theory, we examine the communicative management of religious difference in parent-child relationships. Using survey data from emerging adults (N = 409), we found that religious difference is associated with decreases in relational satisfaction and shared family identity. Further, parents’ religious communication has the potential to promote relational well-being. Accommodative communication (religious-specifi…

  • The Army, Provincial Urban Communities, and Loyalist Cultures in England, c. 1714-50

    Jordan Soliz, Hannah Smith•ARTICLE•Journal of Early Modern History•2011

    Professional armies were unpopular in early eighteenth century England, the professional soldier being seen as an agent of political tyranny. However, there also existed an alternative rhetoric, which portrayed him as a soldier-citizen, who fought to defend his country’s liberties. The article begins by exploring these characterizations of professional soldiers, and goes on to examine civic-military relations in English cities and towns during th…

    This study examined grandchildren’s relational and communicative responses to grandparents’ painful self-disclosures (PSDs). From the perspective of young adult grandchildren ( N = 297), discomfort with PSDs is more significant in differentiating positive and negative aspects of the grandparent—grandchild relationship than simply the occurrence of such disclosures. Furthermore, results reveal that the family communication environment and communic…

  • Investigating the Interplay Between Identity Gaps and Communication Patterns in Predicting Relational Intentions in Families in the United States

    Open Access•Kaitlin E Phillips, Andrew M Ledbetter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2018

    We tested the degree to which identity gaps mediate the association between family communication patterns and relational intentions. Participants included 498 emerging adults from the United States. Both personal-enacted and relational-communal identity gaps mediated the relationship between conversation and conformity orientation and relational intentions. Moreover, family identification (the extent to which one feels a sense of connection with …

  • Family Communication and Messages about Race and Identity in Black Families in the United States

    Mackensie J Minniear, Jordan Soliz•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Communication•2019•Cited by: 20•References: 16

    Racial minority families engage in “racial socialization,” the process by which individuals develop meaning and understanding of what race is, and its implications. While parents are often seen as the site of this socialization, we wanted to explore which racial socialization messages were salient for young adults, and from whom they received these messages. This paper utilized focus groups to explore messages that young Black adults received abo…

  • Emotional support and mental health among Somali men in a rural Midwestern town

    Julie A Tippens, Gilbert R Parra et al.•ARTICLE•Rural Mental Health•2020

    Perceived social support has been correlated with refugees’ positive mental health outcomes; yet, little is known about the perceived sources of support after secondary migration to new-destination rural towns. Somali refugee men (n _ 49) residing in a rural Midwest United States community were recruited using respondent-driven sampling to complete a self-administered structured survey in English or Somali using audio computer-assisted self-inter…

  • Examining the Role of Sibling Interaction in Multiethnic-racial Identity Development in the United States

    Megan E Cardwell, Jordan Soliz•ARTICLE•Identity•2020

    Ethnic-racial identity (ERI) is tied to wellbeing, especially for ethnic-racial minority individuals, and the process of ERI development is inherently social. However, much of the research on ERI development has focused on ethnic-racial socialization processes between parents and children, despite the fact that sibling relationships tend to be integral to individuals’ development and adjustment. Further, ethnic-racial socialization research tends…

  • Critical incidents in the development of (multi)ethnic-racial identity: Experiences of individuals with mixed ethnic-racial backgrounds in the U.S

    Open Access•Megan E Cardwell, Jordan Soliz et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2020•Cited by: 11•References: 29

    Secure ethnic-racial identity (ERI) is tied to well-being, especially for minority individuals; however, there is still little consensus on the key processes and optimal outcomes of various multiethnic-racial (ME-R; i.e., individuals with parents from different ethnic-racial groups) identity development models. In this study, we examine the critical incidents in personal and social relationships that are central to ME-R identity development. Twen…

  • Examining and evaluating multilevel communication within a mixed-methods, community-based participatory research project in a rural, minority–majority U.S. Town

    Angela L Palmer-Wackerly, María Silvina Reyes et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Applied Communication…•2021

    Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been shown to improve health and social well-being by including diverse, marginalized community voices within academic–community partnerships. Although CBPR has gained in popularity, an explicit examination and evaluation of communication processes and outcomes throughout an entire CBPR project is lacking. Here, we analyze interviews with 10 stakeholders (i.e. 4 academic and 6 community partners) …

    Virginia Chaidez, Yumou Qiu et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sociology & Social…•2021

    In a rural Midwestern community sample (n=273), large proportions of Somalis and Whites ranked overall health as "Very good" (57% and 50%, respectively), while Hispanics (42%) considered it "Good". Across all groups, most are either "Happy" or "Very happy" with their jobs—64%, 91%, 83%—or their families—85%, 93%, 91.6%— with reference to Hispanics, Somalis, and Whites, respectively. When asked “In the past 30 days, how often did you feel hopeless…
