Integrating farmers markets into a communication infrastructure model
What drives civic engagement in today’s complex communication environment? Guided by Communication Infrastructure Theory (CIT), this study used nationally representative survey data (N = 5,141) to examine both the independent and joint effects of attention to different communication channels on participatory and perceptual dimensions of civic engagement in the U.S. The communication channels modeled included national and local news, platform-spec…
Building a bridge between civic agriculture and civic engagement
Purpose This work aimed to show how farmers’ markets can act as communication infrastructure, and by doing so, facilitate civic engagement. We used communication infrastructure theory (CIT) as a guide. Design/methodology/approach We integrated findings from two surveys that took place in the US state of Wisconsin. In a survey of Wisconsin farmers’ market leaders, we considered what features farmers’ markets have that may help them act as communic…
Predictors of Environmental Policy Support
Aquaculture plays a significant role in meeting the world’s demand for seafood. There is much controversy about aquaculture, and fish farming in particular. Previous research has explored public perceptions about risks and benefits of aquaculture, but some areas remain understudied. We sought to explore public opinion about inland aquaculture among individuals in the U.S. Furthermore, we sought to better understand predictors of environmental pol…

Measuring risk/benefit perceptions of emerging technologies and their potential impact on communication of public opinion toward science
This study presents a systematic comparison of two alternative measures of citizens’ perceptions of risks and benefits of emerging technologies. By focusing on two specific issues (nanotechnology and biofuels), we derive several insights for the measurement of public views of science. Most importantly, our analyses reveal that relying on global, single-item measures may lead to invalid inferences regarding external influences on public perception…
Empowering Processes and Outcomes of Participation in Online Support Groups for Patients With Breast Cancer, Arthritis, or Fibromyalgia
Ever since the rise of online support groups it has been presumed that there is an empowering effect from patients' participating in these groups, despite a lack of evidence to back up this assumption. In this study we explored if, and in which ways, patients feel empowered by participation. Additionally, we studied which empowering and disempowering processes occur as a result of taking part in these groups. To accomplish this aim, we interviewe…
Expressing Positive Emotions within Online Support Groups by Women with Breast Cancer
Based upon Fredrickson's Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive Emotions, this study examined the role of expressing positive emotions in online support groups for women with breast cancer. Underserved women with breast cancer in rural Wisconsin and Detroit, Michigan were recruited from 2001 to 2003, and they were given access to online support groups. Both pretest and four-month posttest surveys were conducted with a sample of 231 women. Messages …
Communicating about Self and Others within an Online Support Group for Women with Breast Cancer and Subsequent Outcomes
Research suggests communicating too much about one's self within an online support group may amplify breast cancer patients' focus on their own problems and exacerbate negative emotions while focusing on others may have the opposite effects. This study explored how pronoun usage within an online support group was associated with subsequent mental health outcomes. There were 286 patients recruited into the study who filled out the pre-test and 231…
