  • How observing interactions online affects attitudes and behavioral intention toward online social support

    Open AccessYidi Zhang, Brandon Van Der HeideARTICLECommunication Research Reports2026

    Vicarious interactions refer to active online users serving as surrogates, allowing passive users to observe and experience online interactions without directly participating. A 2 × 2 experiment examined how vicarious interactions within online support communities affect observers’ attitudes toward online social support and influence their behavioral intentions to support others. The result shows that only when observers see the support providers…

  • Theoretical Distinctions Between Emotion and Cognition Content in Supportive Messages

    Open AccessA J Holmstrom, Junwen M Hu et al.ARTICLECommunication Research2026

    What constitutes effective supportive message content is a topic of intense interdisciplinary scholarly interest and has palpable real-world implications for individuals’ well-being. Emotion and cognition content are two commonly theorized supportive message forms. Although both are theorized to operate through conversationally induced reappraisal, their relative effects, underlying mediating mechanisms, and boundary conditions for effectiveness …

  • Testing the Effect of Sending an Evaluative Message on Perceiving Others in Computer-Mediated Communication

    Open AccessDuy Pham, Duy Tyler Pham et al.ARTICLEMedia Psychology2025

    Interpersonal mediated communication research has demonstrated that exchanging cues during online interactions can change message receivers’ perception of the senders in socially desirable ways. Building from previous self-transformative work, this work explores how perceptions of others are also shaped by the messages we write evaluating others. More specifically, the research examines the effects of sending different types of evaluative message…

  • How social responses to online hate messages affect hatefulness

    Open AccessY Yang, Yukun Yang et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2025Referências: 6

    This study explored competing predictions about how social interactions among social media hate posters affect the sequential level of hatefulness as toxicity. Analyses involve a thousand original hateful posts and the subsequent posts by the same posters ( N = 1,227,756 posts) on Gab—a platform particularly hospitable to hate messaging—and Likes, Dislikes, and written replies from other users that affirmed or negated the initial hate posts. Like…

  • Analysis of short videos on TikTok for learning Portuguese as a foreign language

    Open AccessYidi Zhang, Margarida Lucas et al.ARTICLEComunicar2023Referências: 1

    In recent years, short videos have proliferated on various social media platforms, serving as a visual resource with a long history of use for various educational purposes, including foreign language learning (FLL). Despite the growing interest in the use of such platforms for short video learning, little is currently known about the use of these platforms for FLL, highlighting the need to validate these learning resources within a theoretical fr…

  • Moment-by-moment tracking of audience brain responses to an engaging public speech

    Ralf Schmälzle, Hanjie Liu et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs2023Referências: 5

    Public speaking engages and entertains audiences. Through neuroimaging, we can examine responses to speeches in real time. Replicating an earlier study, this study carries out two kinds of analyses – forward and reverse correlations. First, we examine how the soundwave carrying the speech relates to brain responses, finding that bilateral auditory cortex responses track with the speech signal's energy. Second, we use the speech-evoked brain respo…

  • A Decade of Short Videos for Foreign Language Teaching and Learning

    Open AccessYidi Zhang, Margarida Lucas et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2022

    This literature review focuses on the use of short videos for foreign language (FL) teaching and learning from 2013 to 2022, a research area that has been attracting growing attention. The results were classified according to three categories based on the scope of the short videos in research: (1) short videos as a medium, (2) short videos as an intervention, and (3) short videos as the central focus of studies. Such a categorization enabled us t…
