  • Toward a Measurement Tool for Sports Diplomacy in the News

    Open AccessClaudia Kozman, George AnghelcevARTICLECommunication & Sport2025References: 23

    Using a 12-months-long constructed week sampling strategy, this study relied on a dataset of 456 media articles about the 2022 FIFA World Cup to take an initial step toward operationalizing the concept of sports diplomacy. A preliminary measurement approach was derived from the literature and examined through a content analysis of articles published during the year leading up to the event. Subsequently, the fit of this initial instrument as an em…

  • Effects of Affect and Message Framing on Responses to Charity Advertising

    Open AccessGeorge Anghelcev, Sela Sar et al.ARTICLECommunication Studies2024

    Charitable donation appeals can be framed to highlight the attainment of desirable outcomes (promotion framing) or the avoidance of undesirable situations (prevention framing). Drawing from regulatory focus theory, construal level theory, and the linguistic categorization model, this study reveals how the impact of the two messages frames can be influenced by the emotional state of the message recipient. Participants had more favorable attitudes …

  • Infusing Affective Computing Models into Advertising Research on Emotions

    Taylor Jing Wen, Ching‐Hua Chuan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Advertising2024

    This article discusses promising avenues for integrating affective computational approaches into advertising research on emotion. We review affective computing methods for different modalities—text, visual, and audio—and present advertising research examples and computational tools for each modality. We discuss different state-of-the-art multimodal tools for emotion recognition and propose an evaluation framework for advertising researchers to co…

  • Effects of Affect

    Taylor Jing Wen, Jackson Carter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Interactive Advertising2021

    An experiment was conducted with the goal of determining how mood and arousal influence the way consumers process ad information in a search engine result page (SERP) environment. By focusing on the relationships among mood, arousal, and search ad snippet length, the study shows that mood and arousal states influence information processing (heuristic vs. systematic) on search pages both independently and jointly. Using the heuristic-systematic mo…

  • From echo chambers to ‘idea chambers’

    Open AccessJustin D Martins, Fouad Hassan et al.ARTICLEInternational Communication Gazette2021References: 10

    Countering conventional theory, this study found that online homophily and heterophily—connectivity with both similar and dissimilar others—are not necessarily countervailing phenomena, among representative surveys of internet users from five Arab countries: Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Lebanon, Qatar, and UAE ( N = 4,198). Respondents who said the Internet has increased their contact with politically and religiously similar people also tended to say i…

  • Is heavy binge-watching a socially driven behaviour? Exploring differences between heavy, regular and non-binge-watchers

    Open AccessGeorge Anghelcev, Sela Sar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Digital Media & Policy2020Cited by: 1References: 16

    Results of an online survey suggest that heavy binge-watching of serialized video content might be in part socially motivated. Among a sample of US college students, heavy binge-watchers were more likely to be opinion leaders and to experience fear of missing out (FOMO) than regular binge-watchers or non-binge-watchers. They also reported higher levels of parasocial engagement with the shows’ characters than other viewers. Contrary to common beli…

  • Binge-Watching Serial Video Content

    Open AccessGeorge Anghelcev, Sela Sar et al.ARTICLEMass Communication & Society2020Cited by: 2References: 13

    This study examined psychological constructs related to the subjective experience of binge-watching serial video content. The results underscore the centrality of transportation in shaping viewers’ perceptions of the binge-watching experience and their binge-watching behaviors. Transportation was positively related to binge-watching frequency and mediated the impact of binge-watching session length on development of parasocial interactions (full …

  • Employing Perceptual-Learning Research in Journalism and Communication

    Justin D Martins, S Shageaa Naqvi et al.ARTICLEJournalism Studies2018References: 3

    Perceptual-learning methods teach concepts and skills using numerous, rapid-fire questions and immediate visual feedback. A quasi-experiment compared a digital perceptual-learning module (PLM) of 200 multiple choice questions on Associated Press style to an introductory journalism/strategic communication course in which students learned AP style. The PLM, which took only 70 min, significantly improved participants’ declarative and procedural know…
