OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify key areas to inform the development of Veteran-facing airborne hazard exposure communication materials. BACKGROUND: Military personnel are commonly exposed to environmental and occupational hazards. Airborne hazard exposures may be particularly salient to Veterans because they are common, and the relationship to health concerns is often uncertain. VA offers a toolkit to help providers navigate caring for Veterans …

Identity Gaps and LGBTQIA+ Students’ Social Connection, Stigma, and Activism
For LGBTQIA+ individuals, identity development and exploration are salient experiences that may be further impacted by other major life events, including moving away to college. Using the communication theory of identity, we examined identity gaps (i.e., inconsistencies between various frames of identity) between LGBTQIA+ college students’ personal identity and their enacted, relational, and communal identities and their link to social connection…
Investigating differences in LGBTQIA+ students’ identity gaps during the semester and academic breaks
Guided by the communication theory of identity, we explored gaps between LGBTQIA+ students’ personal, relational, enacted, and communal frames of identity while on campus during the semester compared to during academic breaks. LGBTQIA+ students (N = 234) in the United States completed an online survey. The results indicated that LGBTQIA+ students reported the most intense identity gaps during the semester between the personal and relational frame…
Phone or affection
The present study explored the role of phubbing, or interrupting a conversation by attending to one's cell phone instead of their communication partner, among 51 couples living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Framed by affection exchange theory, the present study examined whether phubbing was indirectly associated with relationship satisfaction via feelings of affection deprivation. The findings indicated that phubbing was associated with …
Considering Social Identity Threat Alongside the Health Belief Model to Examine Mask-Wearing Intentions of Black, Latinx, and Asian Individuals in the U.S. During Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. public health officials have recommended various safety protocols to "stop the spread", and atop the list is wearing a mask. Individuals from particular racial groups have also contended with a surge of racial profiling and race-based discrimination that has positioned mask-wearing as a risky yet health-promoting behavior. Using the health belief model (HBM), this study considers how racism and health intersect …
The longitudinal influence of supportive messages on stress reactivity and general well-being for LGBTQ+ recipients of hate speech
LBGTQ+ individuals (N = 50) engaged in a 10-minute discussion with a close network member about an experience they had with hate speech that was targeted at their sexual orientation. The relative effects of two predominant social support theoretical frameworks, verbal person centeredness and autonomy support, were compared. Discussions were rated by trained raters for the presence of each type of support. Results support both theoretical framewor…
Living through the pandemic together
The present study tested several pathways detailed in the theory of resilience and relational load (TRRL) in the context of urban couples living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifty cohabitating couples completed a baseline assessment and 7 days of daily diaries. Results indicated that, the more an individual or their partner reported being communally oriented within their relationship at baseline, the greater that individual's relational…
Sexuality and mental health during the pandemic
The present study explored the associations among COVID-19 anxiety, sexual communication, and sexual satisfaction in couples cohabitating together during the pandemic lockdown. Forty-one couples living in three major cities in the United States completed a survey during the early months of the pandemic. Multilevel modeling revealed that individuals’ sexual communication was associated with their own, but not their partner’s, reported sexual satis…
Relationship quality and objectively measured physical activity before and after implementation of Covid-19 stay-home orders
In a sample of 28 individuals cohabiting with a partner in NYC, Boston, or Chicago, this study tested whether implementation of stay-home orders to combat the spread of COVID-19 disrupted physical activity and whether high-quality romantic relationships buffered adverse effects. Participants provided FitBit data between February and October, 2020. Stay-home orders were associated with a reduction in daily step counts, B = −1595.72, p = 0.018, inc…
Revisiting Attribution Theory
Heeding the necessary call for interpersonal communication research to be theorized and conducted from a more critical perspective, we employ feminist standpoint theory as a critical tool for reading attribution theory. Specifically, we examine social positionality as an essential aspect of the attribution process and identify how oppressive power structures (macro-level) and a critical consciousness of one’s social positionality (micro-level) im…
