Flow is characterized by a high level of intrinsic reward that results from balance between task difficulty and individual ability. The Synchronization Theory offers an explanation for the neural basis this process. It predicts energetically-optimized, brain-network organization cognitive control regions when ability are balanced. While initial provide support structural predictions, many-to-many connectivity energetic optimality hypotheses remain untested. Our study addresses gap. Subjects...
Abstract In this special issue devoted to speaking across communication subfields, we introduce a domain general explanatory framework that integrates biological explanation with science and organizes our field around shared empirical model. Specifically, draw on David Marr’s classical framework, which subdivides the of human behavior into three levels: computation (why), algorithm (what), implementation (how). Prior theorizing research in has primarily addressed computational level but less...
Communication campaigns using social media can raise public awareness; however, they are difficult to sustain. A barrier is the need generate and constantly post novel but on-topic messages, which creates a resource-intensive bottleneck.In this study, we aim harness latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) build pilot system that many candidate could be used for campaign suggest novel, messages. The issue of folic acid, B-vitamin helps prevent major birth defects, serves as an...
The Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing (LC4MP) aims to understand message processing dynamics. Despite 20 years research, no meta-analysis has assessed LC4MP effects. We conducted a the model examine three theoretical research domains in LC4MP: cognitive load, motivation, and memory. Results from 142 articles 683 effects demonstrate that pooled effect sizes for domain range r = .314–.398. Effect vary by measurement modality with self-report resulting largest...
Abstract Flow is thought to occur when both task difficulty and individual ability are high. experiences highly rewarding associated with well-being. Importantly, media use can be a source of flow. Communication scholars have long history theoretical inquiry into how flow biases selection, different content results in flow, influences processing effects. However, the neurobiological basis during not well understood, limiting our explanatory capacity specify contribute or Here, we show that...
Humans are inherently social, driven to communicate and build relationships with one another. The question of how messages between people create shared understanding lies at the core interpersonal communication. Relatedly, neuroscience scholars beginning investigate dyads, i.e. two socially interacting brains, produce this understanding. Here, we argue that communication has much contribute rapidly growing area within neuroscience, while also benefiting from adopting neuroscientific...
Abstract. Online contexts are becoming a widely available space to disseminate health information and target specific populations for campaigns. Limited evidence message engagement in these exists. This study draws on the elaboration likelihood model construal-level theory predict processing time recall when individuals presented with messages or against electronic cigarette use from socially close distant sources. Participants ( N = 159) were shown about cigarettes, designed look like...
Stories in general, and peak moments within a single story particular, can evoke strong responses across recipients. Between the content of these shared audience lies an explanatory gap that neuroimaging help close. Accordingly, this study examined how brains responded during story. We performed two types analyses: First, we correlated story's physical characteristics to brain activity. Second, reverse-correlated engagement segments. found activity peaks temporo-parietal junction identify...
Most people in the United States do not engage sufficient physical activity (PA). However, certain communication behaviors from romantic partners can motivate PA. Research indicates that confirming and communal coping (CC) relationships increase PA efforts, but less research has examined role of explicitly disconfirming or between confirmation, disconfirmation, CC on outcomes. We models which shared appraisals mediate (a) confirmation (b) disconfirmation joint behavior heterosexual, dyads....
Most adults in the United States (U.S.) fail to meet guidelines for physical activity (PA) and nutrition outlined by Centers Disease Control. One important predictor of engagement healthy behavior is support from one's romantic partner. However, messages partners may motivate if they threaten recipients' face cause reactance. The present study examines face-threatening acts (FTAs) management strategies (FMSs) conversations between couples their associations with reactance, eating, PA...
