  • Emotional Markers of Disrespect

    Open AccessR Stryker, Bethany Anne Conway et al.ARTICLECommunication Research2024

    Research has investigated emotional responses to perceived political incivility but not whether aspects of emotionality may be perceived as uncivil. When politicians display or evoke anger, they may increase democratic participation; however, because manifesting or evoking some negative emotions suggests disrespect—a central component of extant conceptualizations of political incivility—displaying anger and evoking fear and anger may be perceived…

  • Twitter and the Faces of Whiteness

    Megan Lambertz-Berndt, Bethany Anne Conway et al.ARTICLEHoward Journal of Communications2023

    Republican politicians unabashedly condemn the use of critical race theory (CRT) as a pedagogical framework for educators. While most Democrats have quickly come to the defense of CRT, even they are socialized through White supremacist practices. Connecting CRT to the theory of impression management, this paper reveals how Minnesota politicians (both Republicans and Democrats) and government officials used Twitter during a pivotal time in U.S. hi…

  • Tipping the Twitter vs. News Media Scale? Conducting a Third Assessment of Intermedia Agenda-Setting Effects during the Presidential Nomination Season

    Bethany Anne Conway, Eric Tsetsi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Marketing2022Referências: 19

    Two previous studies investigated the relationship between newspaper issue agendas and those of candidate and campaign Twitter feeds during the presidential nomination seasons in 2012 and 2016. Both found the intermedia agenda-setting power resided with newspapers. This study replicates the previous two by examining the issue agendas of the nation’s top newspapers and those of candidate and campaign Twitter feeds during the 2020 presidential nomi…

  • Does a Speaker’s (In)formal Role in News Media Shape Perceptions of Political Incivility

    Bethany Anne Conway, R StrykerARTICLEJournal of Broadcasting &…2021

    We used a media-focused vignette experiment to test how speaker role and norm-violation level influenced perceived incivility, including respondents’ age, gender, and partisanship as covariates. One vignette involved deception regarding immigration in political talk radio; the other involved epithetic name-calling in televised political talk regarding state-funded contraception. Respondents perceived the same deception as more uncivil when from a…

  • Replication Note

    Open AccessR Stryker, Bethany Anne Conway et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2021

    Because political incivility is so consequential and those consequences depend on observers’ perceptions, we must know what Americans perceive as uncivil. Stryker, Conway, and Danielson (2016) conducted one of the first studies addressing this using confirmatory factor analysis on 23 types of potential incivility, but the authors used a local sample representing undergraduates at one southwestern university. Using 20 of their 23 measures and repl…

  • Sources and Journalists” Revisited

    Bethany Anne ConwayARTICLEJournalism Practice2021Referências: 38

    This study analyzed print journalists’ perceptions of source use during the 2014 U.S. midterm elections. Rank-order measures required journalists to compare five prevalent source types, revealing patterns in the acquisition of news content. While one or two sources (e.g., politicians and experts) exhibit a strong lead on some content, other source types are interchangeable, speaking to the “specialized” nature of certain information. Further anal…

  • What is political incivility

    R Stryker, Bethany Anne Conway et al.ARTICLECommunication Monographs2016Citada por: 73Referências: 16

    Using 23 novel indicators and a 1,000+ sample representative of a full undergraduate population we examined: how much consensus there was about perceptions of the incivility/civility of various categories of speech/behavior; and whether political incivility is a unidimensional or multidimensional latent construct. Confirmatory factor analyses suggest perceived political incivility is a multidimensional construct. Insulting utterances, deception, …

  • The Rise of Twitter in the Political Campaign

    Open AccessBethany Anne Conway, Kate Kenski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Computer-Mediated…2015Citada por: 78Referências: 22

    Questions exist over the extent to which social media content may bypass, follow, or attract the attention of traditional media. This study sheds light on such dynamics by examining intermedia agenda-setting effects among the Twitter feeds of the 2012 presidential primary candidates, Twitter feeds of the Republican and Democratic parties, and articles published in the nation's top newspapers. Daily issue frequencies within media were analyzed usi…

  • Twitter Use by Presidential Primary Candidates During the 2012 Campaign

    Open AccessBethany Anne Conway, Kate Kenski et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2013Citada por: 13Referências: 20

    This study examines Twitter use by presidential candidates during the 2012 primary election. The Twitter feeds and activity levels of candidates from the Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, and Americans Elect parties and their campaigns were gathered over a 3-month span. Variables examined include the number of tweets posted, followers gained, and followers added as well as the occurrence of hashtags, user mentions, hyperlinks, and content cate…
