Identifying anti-vaccine subgroups for targeted messaging
The US is struggling to convince some groups to accept the COVID-19 vaccine. Yet there is little knowledge about what motivates these groups’ resistance. Here, we surveyed N = 2,569 participants about vaccine-related attitudes, including pandemic fatigue, vaccine hesitancy, severity and susceptibility, and vested interests. Results show that Republican women are over-represented in a group that never intends to be vaccinated. Participants whose p…
Network Ripple Effects
Content moderation decisions can have variable impacts on the events and discourses they aim to regulate. This study analyzes Twitter data from before and after the removal of key Arizona Election Audit Twitter accounts in March of 2021. After collecting tweets that refer to the election audit in Arizona in this designated timeframe, a before/after comparison examines the structure of the networks, the volume of the participating population, and …
A Randomized Controlled Trial of A Theory-Based Concussion Education Video for NCAA Division I Athletes
A large body of research demonstrates that concussions are exceedingly common and extremely difficult to detect. Despite medical efforts to develop sophisticated tools to detect concussions, research continues to demonstrate that proper detection relies on prompt and thorough symptom reporting from the injured athlete. In the context of sports, such reporting requirements are complicated by systems that reward athletic performance. This study see…
Perceived organizational influences on Western U.S. collegiate athletes’ attitudes toward concussion risks and concussion reporting
This paper investigates how cultural narratives from people at varying positions in a team culture affect athletes’ attitudes toward concussion injures and concussion reporting. Power Five National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes (N = 226) competing in high-concussion risk sports completed a survey exploring the frequency with which they heard performance or safety narratives from three distinct organizational sources: coaches, At…

Promoting the Development of Evidence-Based Concussion Education for Power-5 Collegiate Athletes
Concussions present a significant health concern for collegiate athletes, team leaders, and university administrators. The consequences of these injuries can affect athletes’ scholastic and athletic performance in the short term, and manifest later in life, long after their athletic career ends. Present educational efforts are ineffective because they neglect important influences on athletes’ decisions to report potential concussion injuries. Her…
Performance Versus Safety
Athlete safety and concussion injury have garnered considerable attention recently, and appropriate evaluation of athletes following head impacts depends, in part, on athletes’ self-reporting of the symptoms. The National Collegiate Athletic Association has focused primarily on concussion injury education to encourage self-reporting; however, such efforts have not been especially effective and many potential injuries continue to go unreported. Th…
The Narrative Rationality of Violent Extremism
Objective This essay explores the narratives that are used to justify terrorist attacks by perpetrators and their supporters. Method The author examines the ways in which narratives rationalizing violence have been constructed and repeated by Islamist extremists and, in the case of Oklahoma City bombing, by McVeigh and other members of the Patriot movement. Results The analysis of these two case studies demonstrates the power of narrative rationa…

Media Use and Source Trust among Muslims in Seven Countries
Despite the perceived importance of media in the spread of and resistance against Islamist extremism, little is known about how Muslims use different kinds of media to get information about religious issues, and what sources they trust when doing so. This paper reports the results of a large, random sample survey among Muslims in seven countries Southeast Asia, West Africa and Western Europe, which helps fill this gap. Results show a diverse set …
Cooking the Books
Islamist extremists in Afghanistan and elsewhere are exaggerating their successes in inflicting casualties on American and other International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) forces. This article quantifies the exaggeration for the month of November 2010, putting the claimed casualty rate at approximately one-half battalion per month. It provides an analysis of how and why this is occurring, and links this extremist strategic communication effor…
Master Narratives of Islamist Extremism
This volume introduces the concept of Islamist extremist 'master narratives' and offers a method for identifying and analyzing them. Drawing on rhetorical and narrative theories, the chapters examine
Weapons of Mass Persuasion
This paper presents a communication perspective on strategies for resisting Salafist extremist ideologies such as those advocated by Al Qaeda and related groups. In such an effort, the first order of business is to define the audience for the ideology under consideration. Fortunately, Islamist extremists have a concept of their audience that can be estimated from statements in captured texts, on their Web sites, and so on. One estimate is shown i…
The Detectability of Socio-Egocentric Group Speech
Scholars interested in group phenomena generally conceive of communication as either a conduit for, or as constitutive of, group decisions. Hewes's socio-egocentric model contends that we possess no unambiguous proof of any communicative impact on decision making. This study asks whether contrived socio-egocentric group speech is distinguishable from real group speech, and therefore whether the socio-egocentric model is even a plausible depiction…
The emergence of homogeneity and heterogeneity in knowledge structures during a planned organizational change
Scholars and practitioners increasingly strive to understand the complexities marking implementations of organizational change programs. Studies on this topic often concentrate on members ’ cognition about a planned change, regularly finding that members ’ knowledge structures and interpretations either converge or diverge over time. Using interviews, observations, and a unique discourse processing technique, a nine-month case study of one divisi…
Studying Complex Discursive Systems
Scholars increasingly theorize about the power of communication to organize and structure social collectives. However, two factors threaten to impede research on these theories: limitations in the scope and range of existing methods for studying complex systems of communication and the large volume of communication produced by even small collectives. Centering resonance analysis (CRA) is a new text analysis method that has broad scope and range a…
Perspectives on Organizational Communication. Finding Common Ground
Development of a Structurational Model of Identification in the Organization
In response to the growing interest in issues related to attachment in organizations, this paper develops a theory of identification in the workplace based on three key aspects of Structuration theory. In this model, the identification process is treated as a duality involving identities that create and are created by identifications, which are themselves observed in social interactions with others. The structural component of this model is compo…
An activity‐based theory of communication networks in organizations, applied to the case of a local church
This article applies Feld's (1981) focus theory to build the argument that the activities of a local church are organized by a latent hierarchy of activation. Because communication occurs in the context of practices that attend these activities, hypotheses about the number and kinds of links in members' personal networks are advanced. Stochastic analysis based on Lazarsfeld's (1950) latent distance model was applied to data on members' participat…

Use and Users of a Congressman′s Network Information Services
A growing movement toward public access to the federal government via the Internet has created increased interest in establishing network communications and information services, especially among national officeholders. However, little empirical study of the use and users of such services exists to guide their efforts This paper reports results of a two‐part study of the use and users of US Representative Sam Coppersmith′s (D – Arizona 1) Gopher …
Perceived Networks, Activity Foci, and Observable Communication in Social Collectives
Research identifying important differences between perceived and observed communication networks has created the need for an integrative model to link the two phenomena. The theory described here proposes that observable communication is the result of a latent network of perceived communication relationships that is instantiated when activity foci are triggered. Giddens' (1984) structuration theory, Homans' (1950) theory of the human group, Feld'…
Situational Effects on the Accuracy of Self-Reported Organizational Communication Behavior
Debate about the appropriateness of using self-reported communication as a proxy for observable communication in studies of organizational communication networks has created a paradox for network researchers that diverges along classic lines of individualism and collectivism. The inability of either to resolve fundamental theoretical challenges of the other suggests need for an alternative approach. Working from a situationalist perspective, this…
