Loyalty as permission to forgive
A national survey of 314 Americans was employed to determine whether core forms of group identification (sport, political, and religious) predict one's likelihood to forgive a leader within that group for an intentional/preventable transgression. Three forms of transgressions (assault and battery, sex with a minor, stealing money) were presented as possible scenarios for leaders of sport, political, and religious groups. Sports leaders were more …
A Sense of Belonging
A qualitative study utilizing interviews was used to identify the core motivations for the origination of collegiate sport fanship and fandom in the American Southeast. The sample included 20 individual adults that reside in the southeastern United States, either Alabama ( n = 2), Arkansas ( n = 3), Kentucky ( n = 3), Mississippi ( n = 5), or South Carolina ( n = 7). The sample only included participants from these particular states due to the un…
Disclosure Catalysts in Student Disclosures of Personal Health Information to College Instructors
College students often struggle with the decision to disclose personal health information to their instructors. Students have to weigh the benefits and risks of disclosing personal health information to their instructors. Guided by Communication Privacy Management Theory, this study examined the motivating factors that contribute to students’ disclosure of personal health information to their instructors. Undergraduate students (N = 52) participa…
Person or PC? A Comparison of Human and Computer Coding as Content Analyses Tools Evaluating Severe Weather
Computer-aided content analyses programs have been deployed for social science research in recent years; however, few studies have evaluated their effectiveness, compared to human coding. This study uses open-ended responses from respondents seeking information in preparation for Hurricane Michael to compare human- and computer-coding. In particular, the comparison involves the use of Excel as a common and relatively simple coding instrument. Res…
How Sports Identification Compares to Political and Religious Identification
A national survey of 314 Americans was utilized to determine the degree in which sport identification functions similarly to political and religious identification as well as the degree to which each of the three forms of group hyper-identification correlate with violent extremism and violent radicalization. Results found that sport identification correlated with extremism but not radicalization, political identification correlated with both, and…
No Access, No Travel, and No Relationship Building
When the sports world abruptly shut down in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sports journalists were left without live events to cover. To better understand how sports reporters adapted to these unforeseen circumstances, 23 in-depth interviews were conducted with American sports journalists working at local and national newspapers to acquire firsthand accounts of story topics, newsgathering procedures, and impacts on the industry moving f…
Interscholastic inclusion
Debates of who is and is not permitted to participate in sport have been magnified in regard to those whose gender identity deviates from traditional heteronormative standards. Former high school transgender athletes Mack Beggs and Andraya Yearwood, in states with different stances toward trans participation, were thrust into media spotlights. A content analysis examined local and national newspaper reporting about the individuals and their state…
Can Social Media Listening Platforms’ Artificial Intelligence Be Trusted? Examining the Accuracy of Crimson Hexagon’s (Now Brandwatch Consumer Research’s) AI-Driven Analyses
Practitioners and scholars increasingly employ social media listening platforms (SMLPs) driven by artificial intelligence (AI) to extract actionable insights from large amounts of social media data informing research questions and brand strategy. Due to their proprietary nature, AI tools within SMLPs are “black boxes” that force users to accept results on blind faith, a source of concern in industry and academia. This study seeks to provide great…
Gaming Disorder
In May 2019, the World Health Organization identified “gaming disorder” as a mental illness. The decision followed debate in which the video game industry, gamers, and researchers disagreed over whether sufficient research existed to identify gaming disorder as a mental illness. Informed by framing theory, the present study examined news coverage of the decision in the year leading to and immediately following the controversial classification. Th…

Informed by social cognitive and framing theories, the present study examined how news stories characterized the di…
