  • Efficient Duplicate Comment Detection for Rulemaking Agencies With Unsupervised Deep Learning

    Open Access•Zhicheng Huang, Weixuan Dong et al.•ARTICLE•IEEE Transactions on Computational…•2025

    Government agencies tasked with soliciting comments from the American public in response to changes in rulemaking have long been interested in finding effective techniques to automatically process spam comments, including flagging and filtering duplicate comments. Duplicate submissions are problematic because they obscure genuine public input and may amplify fringe opinions nonrepresentative of the majority of the American public. Given that dupl…

  • Conspiratorial thinking in the workplace

    Open Access•Lisa Tam, Hyelim Lee et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication Management•2025

    Purpose Although belief in conspiracy theories has been researched since the 1970s, specific research on conspiratorial thinking in the workplace is scarce. Conspiratorial thinking could be fostered among employees in workplaces because of unequal power relations resulting from the organizational hierarchy. This study examines workplace conspiracy attribution (WCA) as employees’ attribution of problematic events in the workplace as being plotted …

  • Understanding RSV Vaccine Hesitancy

    Narae Kim, Jinhee Seo et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2025

    This study investigated factors that contribute to RSV vaccine hesitancy via two decision-making pathways: deliberate consideration guided by reasons and rationales, and cognitive heuristics. Belief in vaccine pseudo-information (e.g. mis/disinformation, conspiracy theories) and individual ethical orientations (IEO; teleology vs. deontology) were introduced as epistemic and normative factors, respectively, that influence cognitive processes when …

  • Detecting Covid-19 Fake News on Twitter/X in French

    Open Access•Ming Ming Chiu, Alex Morakhovski et al.•ARTICLE•Media and Communication•2025

    Many who believed Covid-19 fake news eschewed vaccines, masks, and social distancing; got unnecessarily infected; and died. To detect such fake news, we follow deceptive writing theory and link French hedges and modals to validity. As hedges indicate uncertainty, fake news writers can use it to include falsehoods while shifting responsibility to the audience. Whereas devoir (must) emphasizes certainty and truth, falloir (should, need) implies tru…

    Open Access•Homero Gil De Zúñiga, John Namjun Kim•ARTICLE•American Behavioral Scientist•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 26

    Today's public sphere is largely shaped by a dynamic digital public space where lay people conform a commodified marketplace of ideas. Individuals trade, create, and generate information, as well as consume others' content, whereby information as public space commodity splits between this type of content and that provided by the media, and governmental institutions. This paper first explains how and why our current digital media context opens the…

  • Country-of-Origin Relationship (CoOR)

    Open Access•Lisa Tam, Myoung-Gi Chon et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024•Referências: 21

    Extant research has examined country-of-origin (CoO) from a marketing perspective, examining the effects of consumers' evaluations of a country's image on attitudes toward products from the country. To advance research on CoO, there are calls to approach CoO from the perspectives of other disciplines.

Can we salvage an ill-informed society? These studies offer insights into addr…

  • Conceptualizing Conspiratorial Thinking

    Open Access•John Namjun Kim, Seungyoon Lee•ARTICLE•American Behavioral Scientist•2024•Citada por: 3•Referências: 17

    We use the situational theory of problem solving to explicate how publics engage in conspiratorial thinking as a form of cognitive problem solving. In doing so, we develop a new typology of conspiracy theories and introduce conceptual definitions and operationalizations of conspiratorial thinking as both dispositional and situational. We conduct two survey studies which provide evidence of the measures' reliability and validity. We also investiga…

  • Serving the Greater Social Good for Personal Gain

    Open Access•Ming Ming Chiu, Yu Won Oh et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Research•2022

    Asynchronous, anonymous online debaters might be less likely than face-to-face debaters to value their public self-image ( face), and thus disagree more freely. In this study, we examined whether polite disagreements (as opposed to rude ones) help online debaters win over audience members. An analysis of the most voted-on 100 political debates on Debate.org (200 debaters; 1,750 voters; 472,652 words) showed that debate initiators who used politer…

  • Pseudo-Information, Media, Publics, and the Failing Marketplace of Ideas

    Open Access•John Namjun Kim, Jeong-Nam Kim et al.•ARTICLE•American Behavioral Scientist•2021•Citada por: 17•Referências: 18

    The explosive usage in recent years of the terms "fake news" and "posttruth" reflects worldwide frustration and concern about rampant social problems created by pseudo-information. Our digital networked society and newly emerging media platforms foster public misunderstanding of social affairs, which affects almost all aspects of individual life. The cost of lay citizens' misunderstandings or crippled lay informatics can be high. Pseudo-informati…

  • Reconceptualizing the Communicative Action of Publics

    John Namjun Kim, James E Grunig et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2010•Citada por: 13•Referências: 16

    This article proposes a new concept about communication behaviors related to problem solving. Communicative action is epiphenomenal to problem solving: As problem solvers, members of a public use communication as an instrument to cope with their problematic life situations. A good theoretical description of the communicative features of problem solving, therefore, is critical to understanding the social phenomena related to the development and be…

  • Lost in Informational Paradise

    Open Access•John Namjun Kim, Jeong-Nam Kim et al.•ARTICLE•American Behavioral Scientist•2021•Citada por: 4•Referências: 18

    We conceptualize two cognitive modi operandi by which lay individuals (cf. experts) solve everyday life problems: cognitive retrogression and cognitive progression. The key demarcation between these two strategies is when a conclusion is finalized and how one's cognitive and communicative efforts are expended in a problematic situation. Using these two concepts of cognitive strategies in problem solving, we explicate the emerging processes of cog…

    John Namjun Kim•ARTICLE•The Germanic Review Literature…•2007•Citada por: 2•Referências: 9

    This article rereads Immanuel Kant's Zum ewigen Frieden as an ironic and performative critique of the political censorship of philosophical texts on the one hand, and of Prussian imperial expansion into republican Poland on the other. By examining the historical situation in Prussia between 1795 and 1796, it shows that Kant deploys a mode of philosophical writing in which "saying" and "meaning" are made to diverge under political pressure.
