The Rare Life
Caring for medically complex children (MCC) involves physical, financial, and emotional challenges for parents, who are often grieving the loss of their expectations or vision for a healthy child. We applied Miles’ parental grief model to explore the experiences of 25 parent-caregivers who were interviewed for The Rare Life, a podcast in which a mother of a MCC interviews parents about their experiences caring for their MCC. We characterize paren…
‘It's a roller coaster of emotions!’
This study extends literature on work-life negotiations by exploring how parents navigate ideal worker and motherhood norms through personal technologies at work. We focused on childcare apps as a context to develop scholarship in this area, as these technologies uniquely facilitate parental connection with children during the workday, adding new complexities to the growing entanglement of personal and professional life. Open-ended responses from…
A Test of Relational Turbulence in Sibling Relationships
Predicting College Students' Preventative Behavior During a Pandemic
In this study, we examined the effects of perceived source credibility of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and college student health literacy in predicting the likelihood of enacting preventative behaviors related to mitigating COVID-19. Using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as an explanatory tool, we analyzed how perceived source credibility and health literacy levels predict college students' likelihood to enact preventative behaviors durin…
Faculty computer-mediated communication apprehension during shift to emergency remote teaching
Guided by the model of faculty readiness for online teaching (FROT), the goal of the current study was to investigate the influence of instructors' knowledge (e.g., online teaching preparation), confidence (e.g., computer-mediated communication apprehension; CMCA), and attitudes about online teaching (e.g., perceived usefulness) on their communicative and organizational outcomes (e.g., communication frequency and satisfaction, job satisfaction, m…
Relational turbulence during family transitions
Exploring students’ perceptions of instructor requests for forms of address and students’ appraisals of the instructor
Guided by predicted outcome value (POV) theory, we explore how instructors’ forms of address (FOA) during the first class day impact students’ POV judgments and their perceptions of instructors’ credibility and socio-communicative orientation. College students (N = 416) were randomly assigned to view one of six stimulus videos varying by FOA (e.g., “Doctor,” “Professor,” first name) and instructor biologic sex (e.g., male-presenting, female-prese…
Parenting Practices, Autonomous Motivation, and Adolescent Diet Habits
Guided by self-determination theory, the aim of this study was to examine whether adolescents' autonomous motivation for making healthy diet choices mediates the association between parenting practices regarding diet and adolescent food choices. We analyzed data from the NCI FLASHE study, a survey of demographically diverse parents and their adolescent children (N = 1,646 dyads). Path models supported self-determination theory's assertion that in…
Young Adult and Parent Perceptions of Facilitation
Overparenting occurs when parents engage in developmentally inappropriate involvement in their children’s lives. This topic is salient in the context of young adults attending college, as this developmental stage necessitates independent decision-making and adjustment on the part of these students. At the same time, the turbulence involved in this transition might engender parental interference and facilitation that could impact young adults’ adj…
Interpersonal Communication and Coping with Cancer
Communication with close relational partners is significantly associated with how individuals cope with and adjust to the stress of cancer. Studies across multiple disciplines have investigated connections among interpersonal communication behaviors (e.g., disclosure and support), coping strategies (e.g., acceptance and denial), and psychological adjustment (e.g., depression and anxiety). However, there has not yet been a systematic review of thi…
