Exploring the Role of User Participation in Emotional Contagion and Coping in Cancer Vlog Communities on YouTube
Despite the increasing popularity of video blogging (vlogging) among patients with chronic illnesses, little is known about emotional exchange as a fundamental source of social support on YouTube for patients coping with cancer. We investigated the phenomenon known as emotional contagion on eight cancer vlog channels and the potential mediating role of two types of user participation (i.e. commenting and liking) in emotional contagion. Path analy…
Cancer vlog community building for social support on YouTube
Video blogging (vlogging) on YouTube allows cancer patients to invite viewers into their lives through vivid and authentic storytelling. Compared to online communities that operate based on user-to-user interaction (e.g., online forums, Facebook groups), vlog communities tend to feature interactions between a single vlogger and multiple followers. The extent to which this interaction dyad allows a vlog community to thrive as a continual source of…
A Motivational Technology Perspective on the Use of Smart Wrist-Worn Wearables for Postpartum Exercise and Weight Management
Exercise and weight management is crucial in preventing postpartum depression and long-term obesity that carries the risk of chronic illness among postpartum women. Although communication devices, such as a smart wrist-worn wearable (SWW), can help users be more physically active, the extent to which postpartum women might benefit from this technology is unknown. We examined how SWWs promoted exercise and helped postpartum women return to pre-pre…

The Role of Content Labeling and Discrete Emotions in User Participation in a Covid-19 U.S. Reddit Community
Despite current practices of social media platforms, scholars have not confirmed whether content moderation facilitates community participation. Based on 1,739 submission threads and 21,237 associated comments on a COVID-19 U.S. subreddit, we found that content labels that cued high-source credibility (HSC) predicted more voting and commenting behaviors than content labels that cued low-source credibility (LSC). Further examination of the potenti…
How self-disclosure builds cancer communities through authentic stories on YouTube
Self-disclosure is a communication strategy widely used to convey authentic personal experiences among video bloggers (vloggers) on YouTube. While self-disclosure plays a vital role in attracting viewers, whether self-disclosure enables vlog communities to thrive is relatively unknown. While scholars have suggested that reciprocal self-disclosure between vloggers and viewers can generate basic community resources, few have examined the role of th…

Understanding the Dynamics of Online Social Support Among Postpartum Mothers in Online Communities
Is it reciprocating or self-serving
The proliferation of online health communities creates opportunities to exchange social support. Given the growing need to investigate the extent to which social support helps mothers with postpartum depression (PPD) and psychological distress, we conducted a content analysis of 3,073 posts from a PPD-related message board in a prominent online community for Korean mothers. We found that community members tended to provide rather than seek suppor…
Do viewers really talk about ads during commercial breaks? Findings from a South Korean social TV platform
As live TV has lost viewers to streaming services and digital videos, TV producers have strived to bring viewers back to TV screens by integrating social features in programing. Meanwhile, social TV has become a prevalent TV-viewing pattern. Although previous findings indicate that social TV can help increase engagement with TV programs, how it benefits advertisers is still uncertain. This study sheds light on this idea by investigating what live…
Open Captioning as a Means of Communicating Health Information
Despite considerable research on entertainment-education, the influence of cognition on viewer appreciation and learning remains unclear. A pretest-posttest laboratory experiment was conducted to examine the effects of explicit health information embedded in a medical drama via video captioning on the processing of the narrative and health information and acquisition of health knowledge. The captions increased cognitive load for health informatio…
Theoretical Importance of Contingency in Human-Computer Interaction
A critical determinant of message interactivity is the presence of contingency, that is, the messages we receive are contingent upon the messages we send, leading to a threaded loop of interdependent messages. While this “conversational ideal” is easily achieved in face-to-face and computer-mediated communications (CMC), imbuing contingency in human-computer interaction (HCI) is a challenge. We propose two interface features—interaction history a…
