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 Test of Autonomy Restoration Postscripts to Mitigate Psychological Reactance to an Opt-Out Organ Donor Registry in the United States
The organ shortage continues to present problems around the world including the United States. In response, some countries have switched from an opt-in organ donor registry to an opt-out registry. The United States currently utilizes an opt-in registry where an individual is not considered an organ donor until they register their intentions. In the current study, U.S. adults were randomly assigned to a 2 (message valence: promotional, refutationa…
Fun with Frustration? TikTok Influencers’ Emotional Expression Predicts User Engagement with Covid-19 Vaccination Messages
This study examined what kinds of TikTok video and message features are associated with user engagement in the context of COVID-19 vaccination. Content analysis was applied to study a sample of 223 COVID-19 vaccination-related videos from creators with at least 10,000 followers. The content analysis involved coding themes, video formats, the valence of attitude toward vaccination, and emotional expressions from the influencers. A majority of vide…
An Investigation into the Portrayal of Organ Donation on Grey’s Anatomy Seasons 1 Through 15
The current project sought to extend prior research examining organ donation portrayals on Grey’s Anatomy by examining the first fifteen seasons. Guided by the health belief model, content analysis revealed more attention was given to benefits of donation than barriers. Contrary to previous research, more attention was given to refuting rather than promoting commonly cited myths. The results also address attention to the health threat as well as …
Denying and Accepting a Family Member’s Illness: Uncertainty Management as a Process
Doubt is a common, yet challenging form of uncertainty to have about another's illness. Although navigating illness uncertainty is a process of continual (re)appraisal and management, existing research narrowly examines windows of uncertainty experience. To illustrate how uncertainty management in the context of doubt is recursive, nonlinear, and ongoing, we apply a process approach to communication to uncertainty management theory. Drawing on in…
State mask mandates and psychological reactance theory: The role of political partisanship and Covid-19 risk in mask adoption and resistance
I changed, I had to realize that I was wrong: Identity gap management amidst evolving illness uncertainty
Doubt that a family member's health issues are real, severe, or even possible entwines some of the most challenging aspects of medical, personal, and social uncertainty. Although several studies have examined doubt, this investigation focuses on how doubt evolves and foregrounds the identity implications of uncertainty. Guided by Communication Theory of Identity (CTI), the purpose of this study was to explore the identity gaps people experience a…
