Pictorial warning labels reduce sharing intentions, blunt self-relevance processes elicited by social media posts promoting cannabis edibles
The implementation of warning labels has been shown to slow the spread of harmful content on social media, but the mechanisms by which these interventions affect individuals' sharing decisions are not yet known. This study sought to establish the efficacy of these interventions and to explore the mechanisms of their influence using two parallel studies conducted within the United States: an online experiment that tested the effects of cannabis wa…
Cannabis warning labels, sensory marketing, and electronic word-of-mouth: AI-facilitated textual analysis of a randomized experiment among youth and young adults
Online marketing of recreational cannabis products, particularly edibles, increasingly employs sensory appeals to attract adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Requiring cannabis warning labels (CWLs) on social media marketing posts is a potentially cost-effective intervention to improve health education and influence online word-of-mouth, an understudied outcome in warning label science. This study combined Structural Topic Modeling, supervised m…
A Skills-driven Approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Journalism Curricula
Though journalism aspires to confront and dismantle systemic injustices, the real-world practice of journalism has often caused harm to marginalized communities and further entrenched oppressive systems of power. As part of larger efforts to examine and address the problems in journalism practice and journalism education, this study sought to identify ways that curricula of communication skills courses might be changed to train journalists in mor…
In the Mood for Music: Listening to Music and Other Smartphone Uses Improve Adolescent Mood
Rates of adolescent mood disorders and adolescent smartphone use have risen in parallel, leading some to suggest that smartphone use might have detrimental effects on adolescents' moods. Alternatively, it is possible that adolescents turn to smartphone use when experiencing negative mood. Past experimental study suggests that certain smartphone activities can reduce adolescents' negative moods or induce more positive moods, but little is known ab…
Adolescent Digital Technology Interactions and Importance: Associations with Depression and Well-Being
Adolescents' digital technology use is nearly ubiquitous and has been associated with health benefits and risks, including risks of depression. The Adolescents' Digital Technology Interactions and Importance (ADTI) scale provides a novel approach to measuring how adolescents prioritize their technology use. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adolescents' technology interactions and mental health measures, includ…
Media Enjoyment: A Synthesis
The concept of media enjoyment has both delighted and frustrated entertainment scholars for several decades. Although a rich body of research highlights how media experiences can entertain, amuse, and enlighten audiences, the scholarship is conceptually, theoretically, and methodologically fragmented. In this synthesis paper, we first tackle conceptual issues, reviewing prior research that has both supported and challenged a hedonic approach to e…
