  • Contingent Effects of E-Cigarette Warning Label Messages on Cognitive Elaboration and Fear Among U.S. Youth Ages 14–17 by Vaping Experience and Peer Vaping Behavior

    Kwanho Kim, Jeff Niederdeppe et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2025

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently requires a warning about the addictive nature of nicotine to be placed on electronic cigarette advertisements and packaging. To consider the value of additional warning messages on public health outcomes, this study examines the additive effect of new warnings that are based on recent claims from U.S. federal authorities. We conducted a secondary analysis of recent data from 1,202 U.S. youth a…

  • Examining Perceptions of Uncertain Language in Potential E-Cigarette Warning Labels

    Amelia Greiner Safi, Motasem Kalaji et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    E-cigarette use among youth presents a public health risk. Yet, cigarette smokers who substantially reduce their smoking or switch completely from traditional combustible cigarettes could benefit. As science about e-cigarettes is continually emerging, any potential warnings are likely to contain uncertain language. Hedged verbiage may impact decision making. To assess reactions, we conducted 16 online focus groups; 8 with youth (n = 32, grouped b…

  • Managing a policy paradox? Responses to textual warning labels on E-cigarette advertisements among U.S. national samples of youth overall and adults who smoke or vape

  • Testing the effects of certain versus hypothetical language in health risk messages

    Sherri Jean Katz, Byrne et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs2019Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    This paper tests how the certainty or hypotheticality conveyed through language can be harnessed to enhance the effectiveness of targeted messaging about health risks. We conducted two experiments with adult smokers ( n = 317) and middle school youth ( n = 321) from low-income communities in the context of pictorial cigarette warning labels. We manipulated hypotheticality of risk through verb modality: 1. non-modal (present tense, e.g., smoking c…

  • Variations in state use of antitobacco message themes predict youth smoking prevalence in the USA, 1999–2005

    Jeff Niederdeppe, Rosemary J Avery et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2014

    Youth-targeted state antitobacco PSAs that emphasise the health consequences of smoking (to oneself and others) and contain anti-industry appeals are associated with reduced youth smoking rates. Future work should avoid typologies that do not account for the co-occurrence of thematic and stylistic content in antitobacco PSAs

  • Peers, Predators, and Porn

    Open AccessByrne, Sherri Jean Katz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Computer-Mediated…2013Citada por: 9Referências: 3

    Parents often underestimate the degree to which their children engage in risky online activities such as cyberbullying, worrisome interactions with strangers, and exposure to sexual content. This study attempts to identify the underlying predictors of such parental misconceptions. A national sample survey (nonrandom) of 456 matched parent-child pairs revealed that a permissive parenting style, difficulty communicating about online risks, and hous…

  • Caring for Mobile Phone-Based Virtual Pets can Influence Youth Eating Behaviors

    Byrne, Sahara Byrne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2012

    This study tests the effects of feedback from a virtual pet on behavior change. A randomized field experiment with 39 adolescents in the US examined how a mobile phone game influenced their likelihood to eat breakfast. Manipulations included varying positive and negative visual feedback in response to participants' photos of breakfast meals. Results indicate that participants with a virtual pet that provided both positive and negative feedback we…

  • Descriptions of Media-Induced Fright Reactions in a Sample of US Elementary School Children

    Joanne Cantor, Byrne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2010

    Grade-school children (N = 219, M age = 8.5 years) reported their experiences of media-induced fear in their own words and using forced-choice items. Seventy-six per cent reported a specific instance of media-induced fright; most were responding to movies (seen in theaters or homes) and media content they had not chosen to view. The most commonly mentioned content involved supernatural themes. More than one-third of children scared by movies name…

  • The Boomerang Effect A Synthesis of Findings and a Preliminary Theoretical Framework

    Byrne, Philip Solomon HartARTICLEAnnals of the International…2009Citada por: 26Referências: 23

    Communicative messages are often constructed strategically. In many cases, the creators of such messages strive to curtail specific anti-social or unhealthy attitudes and behaviors held by the target audience. However, these messages are not always successful in achieving the intended effect. Messages with a specific intent can backfire and cause an increase in the unhealthy or anti-social attitude or behavior targeted for change. We present a re…

  • All Joking Aside

    Robin L Nabi, Emily Moyer-Gusé et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs2007Citada por: 89Referências: 7

    This research was designed to assess the effects of contemporary political humor on information processing and persuasion, focusing specifically on two competing processes: processing motivation/counterargument distraction and message discounting. In Study 1, 212 undergraduates read one of four monologues by political comedian Bill Maher. Correlations and path modeling suggested that, in general, humor associated with greater source liking, close…

  • A Critical Test of Self-Enhancement, Exposure, and Self-Categorization Explanations for First- and Third-Person Perceptions

    Open AccessScott A Reid, Byrne et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2007Citada por: 18Referências: 37

    The third-person perception is the tendency for people to believe that others are more influenced by media content than themselves (W. P.Davison, 1983). The current study provides a critical test of self-enhancement, exposure, and self-categorization explanations for first- (i.e., self more influenced than others) and third-person perceptions. Male and female participants (N = 323) judged the extent to which pornography elicited "aroused and exci…
