Successful mediated sexual interactions: Understanding how attachment style and relationship uncertainty influence sexting experiences
An individual’s perception of their relationship may influence whether they sext (i.e. send sexually suggestive text, photo, or video messages) with their relational partner. A sample of adults (N = 199) collected from Prolific responded to an online survey about sexting behaviors and individual differences (e.g. relationship status, attachment style). Hierarchical regression results revealed that avoidant individuals were less likely to engage i…

The development of imagined interactions in online text-based initial interactions
Many individuals meet romantic partners, friends, and coworkers online before meeting in person. This study investigates the development of online-first partner perceptions, utilizing the imagined interactions framework to test the specificity, frequency, and proactivity of cognitions about an online-first meeting. Individuals chatted with a new partner in a lab. Their cognitions about the partner were measured two days later. Results show that i…
Choice of Communication Channel for Dyadic Relationship Dissolution Processes in Abusive and Non-Abusive Relationships
This study employs an affordances and multiple goals approach to explore channel choices in the initiation of dyadic relationship dissolution processes. In an experiment, participants imagined breaking up with an abusive romantic partner, breaking up with a nonabusive partner, or not breaking up. Then they indicated their likelihood of using various channels (i.e., face-to-face conversation, texting, social media, voice call, and video call) to c…
Attitudinal and Emotional Reactions to the Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021
This article reports on two online surveys concerning reactions to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Study 1 occurred between January 8 and 11, 2021; Study 2 took place between July 8 and 15, 2021. In both studies, both Trump and Biden voters reported negative attitudes toward the rioters, but those attitudes became significantly more positive from Study 1 to Study 2 in both groups. As expected, in both studies, Trump/Pence…
Romantic relationship initiation and escalation through mobile dating apps: Affordances, modality weaving, and paradoxical beliefs
Like online dating sites, mobile dating applications are popular technologies for navigating the dating market, whether for seeking romantic relationships or sexual partners. The searching-matching-interacting (SMI) framework describes mate selection in the dating market and how mediated market intermediaries (e.g., dating apps) can aid these functions. We conducted in-depth interviews ( N = 37) to explore dating app use during relationship initi…
Channel Affordances for Sexting: Social Presence Relates to Improved Self-Esteem, Sexual Gratification, and Sexting Certainty
Online daters’ sexually explicit media consumption and imagined interactions
Cognitive Preoccupation with Breaking News and Compulsive Social Media Use: Relationships with Online Engagement and Motivations for Use
The January 6, 2021, insurrection in the United States capitol can offer insight into how individuals engage with breaking news. The insurrection was a moment of national uncertainty; it was unclear who was storming the Capitol or why they were. A survey assessing cognitive preoccupation with breaking news online and compulsive social media use was developed and distributed within 48 hours of the insurrection. A sample of 380 college students rev…
Why we can’t talk openly about race: The impact of race and partisanship on respondents’ perceptions of intergroup conversations
Conversations about race-specific issues with interracial conversation partners can be important to combat prejudice and foster mutual understanding. Using a national U.S. sample of 201 Black Democrats, 199 Black Republicans, 200 White Democrats, and 200 White Republicans, this study examined the role that race and partisanship play in individuals’ desire to have political discussions about race-specific topics with racial outgroups. Findings ind…
Listening and being listened to as affection exchange in marital discussions about the #MeToo movement
Marriage offers a context where individuals may have to discuss difficult topics. Discussing such topics, especially when there is a chance of disagreement, may lead to differences in the ability for spouses to listen to one another. In this study, we surveyed 746 individuals in heterosexual marriages to understand their listening in conversations about the #MeToo movement. Our findings indicate that being a good trait listener does not help one’…
Listening During Political Conversations: Traits and Situations
Recent political theory in the areas of dialogic and deliberative democracy has placed particular emphasis on the importance of listening in contexts in which people disagree strongly, have competing (and potentially incompatible) interests, or are otherwise profoundly different. Despite this theoretical attention, there is very little empirical research directly examining the concept of listening – especially across lines of difference – in the …
Swiping for trouble: Problematic dating application use among psychosocially distraught individuals and the paths to negative outcomes
More and more individuals hunt for information on and reach out to potential romantic partners through mobile dating applications available on their smartphones. Although these emerging technologies offer social benefits, certain individuals become overly dependent on such applications and suffer from negative outcomes. Relatively little research in online dating to date has investigated what predicts problematic use of such social technologies. …
