From tragedy to advocacy
Understanding the dynamics of social media discourse is critical for advancing mental health advocacy and support. While prior research has examined increases in online search activity following celebrity suicides, little is known about how mental health conversations evolve on social media in response to these events. This study addresses that gap by analysing shifts in public discourse on Facebook before and after the suicides of four high-prof…
Emotion Sells
Despite the widespread use of clickbait news headlines, the concept and function of clickbait remain underdeveloped. This study examined clickbait headlines on social media, focusing on which types of news organizations tend to use this content strategy and whether these strategies effectively drive audience engagement. In this article, rather than treating clickbait as a single, uniform category, we distinguish between information bait and rage …
Perceptions of discriminatory decisions of artificial intelligence
Mediating Pathways in Faith-Based Sexual Risk-Reduction for African American Adolescents
Assessing Mediation and Moderation of an Efficacious Physical Activity Intervention for African American Men Living with HIV
Large language models' varying accuracy in recognizing risk-promoting and health-supporting sentiments in public health discourse
Engaging with underserved communities during times of crises
We examined how underserved communities engaged with government information about COVID-19 economic relief programs. • We also explored how fear affected underserved communities’ engagement. • We developed an original dataset of Facebook posts with links to government websites on COVID-19 economic relief programs. • Findings show that underserved communities commented on and shared COVID-19 relief programs more actively than non-underserved commu…
Algorithmic gender bias
With the widespread use of artificial intelligence and automated decision-making (ADM), concerns are increasing about automated decisions biased against certain social groups, such as women and racial minorities. The public's skepticism and the danger of algorithmic discrimination are widely acknowledged, yet the role of key factors constituting the context of discriminatory situations is underexplored. This study examined people’s perceptions of…
The Challenges of Engaging African American Communities During a Public Health Crisis
During a public health crisis, social media platforms play a pivotal role in circulating information and influencing public reactions. This research investigates the dynamics of public engagement with COVID-19-related content and government information sources within African American online communities, a population that has experienced significant health risks and inequities. Using advanced computational research methods, we analyzed 199,542 pos…
Does high-quality news attract engagement on social media? Mediatization, media logic, and the contrasting values that shape news sharing, liking, and commenting on Facebook
Despite the concern over deteriorating news quality on social media, few studies have empirically examined how much high-quality news is rewarded on social media. Guided by the mediatization literature, we compared the extent to which normative values (i.e. factual reporting and public importance) in news stories as opposed to social media values (i.e. popularity) contribute to actual engagement such as sharing, liking, and commenting on Facebook…
Prospective Predictors of Blood Pressure Among African American Men Living with HIV
Physical Activity Intervention Effects on Waist-to-Hip Ratio in African American Men Living With HIV
People living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy have an increased risk of developing metabolic disturbances and central adiposity. Adequate engagement in physical activity (PA) could reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with central adiposity. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial of a PA intervention with 302 African American men aged 40 or older (53.9±7.2 years) living with HIV to assess whether…
Reasoned Action Approach Correlates of Fruit and Vegetable Diet Among African American Men Living With HIV
Epidemiological evidence of the protective role of fruits and vegetables for a host of chronic health conditions is well-documented. However, there is a dearth of studies examining predictors of fruit and vegetable intake among African American men living with HIV. We report secondary analyses—multiple regression and logistic regression models fitted to examine the strength of the relationships between the reasoned action approach constructs; nam…
Predictors of Colorectal Cancer Screening Among African American Men Living with HIV
South African Fathers Involvement and Their Adolescents’ Sexual Risk Behavior and Alcohol Consumption
Shape-up
An Evolutionary Model of the Emergence of Meanings
This study investigates the mechanism by which individuals learn to associate signals with meanings in a way that is agreeable to everyone, and thereby, to collectively produce common and stable signaling systems. Previous studies suggest that simple learning algorithms based on local interactions, such as reinforcement learning, sufficiently give rise to signaling systems in decentralized populations. However, those algorithms often fail to achi…
Does newspaper coverage influence or reflect public perceptions of the economy
Citizens’ economic perceptions can shape their political and economic behavior, making the origins of those perceptions an important question. Research commonly posits that media coverage is a central source. Here, we test that prospect while considering the alternative hypothesis that media coverage instead echoes public perceptions. This paper applies a straightforward automated measure of the tone of economic coverage to 490,039 articles from …
