“Turns Out My Paternal Grandmother has 16% Native Blood”
This study explores an online phenomenon that we conceptualize as “digital race (re)-making.” In the context of genetic ancestry test discourses, we found digital race (re)-making a sequential four-stage race-making process where users (a) authenticate their previously identified racial identity, (b) destabilize the previous race by incorporating DNA test results, (c) negotiate potential conflict between their previous racial identity and the DNA…
NationalityofMen
This article examines the viral TikTok trend #NationalityOfMen—a seemingly trivial Effect that invites users to rank men from 10 “nationalities.” Extending scholarship on racialized beauty standards and digital media, we systematically scrutinize the cyber ecosystem that reproduces hierarchical racialized masculinity in this trend: the Effect’s interface and design, the user’s instantiation of the Effect, and TikTok’s platform affordances. Employ…

Dynamics and Intermittent Stochastic Stabilization of the Epidemic-Information Coupled Propagation on Multiplex Networks
With the rapid evolution of online social media, information is exerting an influence on various aspects of human life, including the propagation of epidemics. In order to thoroughly investigate the mechanisms by which online information influences offline epidemic propagation, we propose a dual-layer propagation model, consisting of an online layer for information dissemination and a physical layer for disease transmission. Individuals who recei…

How social responses to online hate messages affect hatefulness
This study explored competing predictions about how social interactions among social media hate posters affect the sequential level of hatefulness as toxicity. Analyses involve a thousand original hateful posts and the subsequent posts by the same posters ( N = 1,227,756 posts) on Gab—a platform particularly hospitable to hate messaging—and Likes, Dislikes, and written replies from other users that affirmed or negated the initial hate posts. Like…
R/23andMe and my pictures
This essay expatiates on the collective practices of image sharing of “direct-to-consumer” (DTC) genetic ancestry tests (GAT) results on social media, specifically the strategic, selective, and structural coupling of DNA charts, ancestry maps, and selfies. Building upon Guy Debord’s theory of the spectacle, I propose the concept of “platformed racial spectacle” to theorize such online phenomena: an aggregate of images voluntarily shared online, f…
Rumor Propagation Control With Anti-Rumor Mechanism and Intermittent Control Strategies
This study examines the intermittent control of a rumor propagation system with anti-rumor mechanism. The interaction with the anti-rumor mechanism is investigated, including the existence and stability of two boundary equilibriums, the condition of bistability behavior. Threshold parameters are identified which determine the global exponential stability of the rumor-free equilibrium. To combat rumor spreading, we design deterministic and stochas…
Stimulating creativity in the classroom
This study revealed the associations between sense of place, classmate relationships, and creativity. Creativity is better expressed in students with a strong sense of place in the classroom. Moreover, a student's sense of place can enhance their creativity by influencing their peer relationships. These findings enrich the research in educational psychology within the classroom, providing new insights for fostering creativity
