Abstract In the last 10 years, many canonical findings in social sciences appear unreliable. This so-called “replication crisis” has spurred calls for open science practices, which aim to increase reproducibility, replicability, and generalizability of findings. Communication research is subject same challenges that have caused low replicability other fields. As a result, we propose an agenda adopting practices Communication, includes following seven suggestions: (1) publish materials, data,...
We propose a model of how messages about groups one personally dislikes affect individual attitudes. build upon theories message persuasion and out-group acceptance to account for evidence type (numerical vs. narrative), facilitating conditions (encouraging empathy objectivity), the underlying mechanisms (immersion). test this in pretest-posttest experiment, which sample Americans ( N = 601) read counter-attitudinal commentaries below articles presenting either narrative or numerical illegal...
Abstract While fact-checking has received much attention as a potential tool to combat fake news, whether and how information lessens intentions share news on social media remains underexplored. Two experiments uncovered theoretical mechanism underlying the effect of sharing intentions, identified an important contextual cue (i.e., metrics) that interacts with effects. Exposure (vs. without information) yielded more negative evaluations greater belief others are influenced by than oneself...
The increasingly assertive position of social media as a news source means that audiences can no longer depend on traditional journalists for information verification. Instead, they must determine the credibility their own. majority studies have considered audiences’ evaluation purely cognitive endeavor, implying individuals arrive at valid without validation. By drawing self-categorization theory, this article re-conceptualizes acts authentication by considering it not one-off activity...
Past studies of elections have shown that candidates whose names were listed at the beginning a list on ballot often received more votes by virtue their position. This article tests speculations about cognitive mechanisms might be responsible for producing effect. In an experiment embedded in large national Internet survey, participants read issue positions two hypothetical and voted one them simulated election which candidate name order was varied. The expected effect position appeared...
As both news and audiences are increasingly mobile, this introduction calls for intensified research into mobility as a core characteristic of journalism. This special issue explores the intersection with in production, distribution consumption. News has become mobile material sense it is accessed on portable devices; professional being cut adrift from business models which sustained it, challenged by peripheral actors alternative media, embracing new technologies, relationships audience...
The double-edged nature of generative artificial intelligence (AI) underscores the importance understanding complex and paradoxical public views about this emerging technology. Heeding to call, study examined how general perceives reacts Chat GPT implications these perceptions, drawing on third-person first-person effect. A national survey in United States ( N = 1004) revealed that individuals tend believe they would personally benefit from positive influence GPT, while others will...
Purpose We examined how antipathy toward mainstream news media led to citizens’ belief in misinformation through passive consumption – the habit of not actively seeking but waiting encounter it incidentally. This study focused on three types distrust, cynicism and indifference. Design/methodology/approach collected three-wave panel survey data before after 2022 Korean presidential election. To test whether indifference are separate dimensions, we compared two competing confirmatory factor...
Structured, intergroup communication that occurs in a deliberative discussion context can be an effective method for improving relations.Conceptualizing this unique kind of as contact, study experimentally examined its effect and mechanisms based on two Deliberative Polling projects, conducted different countries: Australia (N = 339) Bulgaria 230).Results indicated contact with minority group member during small-group discussions increased support policies were beneficial to the group.This...

Abstract This article assesses the mechanisms whereby first‐person narratives featuring stigmatized immigrants improve outgroup attitudes and encourage intergroup contact among prejudiced individuals. We rely on a 2 (imagined vs. control) × (similar dissimilar message protagonist) experiment systematic sample of native British adults. Results show that encouraging imagined prior to reading short testimonial an immigrant protagonist who is similar recipients in terms social identity enhances...
The effects of anger and information were experimentally tested in a small group deliberation setting. participants randomly assigned to one four conditions varying the level induced amount they received. After reading about controversial local issue, engaged discussion topic. Content analysis revealed each individual’s participation. More informed expressed more opinions during than less participants. Participants made feel angry also active those control condition, but lesser degree...
Guided by the framework of reciprocity on social media, current study investigated antecedents news sharing. Using a two-wave panel survey involving 868 respondents who took two surveys about one year apart, this examined effect frequency receiving media subsequent news-sharing behaviour, while controlling for demographics, motivations and trust in news. The found that motivation self-presentation shared one's network positively predicted sharing media. Frequency at Time 1 also subsequently...
We bridge the theorizing on mediated and imagined contact integrate these two forms in one sequence within a single design. experimentally examine whether (1) encouraging people to imagine positive intergroup encounter prior reading personal story of an outgroup member as well (2) with similar or dissimilar ingroup prototype, improve attitudes. also test affective cognitive mediators through which effects emerge. Data from four different countries that attitudes toward distinct immigrant...
Token acts of online support, also known as clicktivism, have received much criticism in recent years for suppressing subsequent prosocial behavior. However, whether, when, and why individuals perform less behavior following these remains relatively unknown. To address questions, we designed a lab experiment which participants ( N = 193) were randomly assigned to engage public, private, or no act clicktivism. Consistent with moral self-licensing theory, those who signed an petition likely...
To investigate how children interact differently when interactions are mediated with screen-based video communication versus a robot-mediated communication, we conducted study elementary students in Korea, comparing the use of both technologies to introduce classroom peer-aged individuals America. Our findings show that showed more positive emotion during certain tasks and exhibited interest remote participants context than video-mediated communication.
Mediante dos experimentos realizados en España y Países Bajos se contrastaron los efectos conjuntos del contacto imaginado la similitud con el protagonista de mensajes narrativos las actitudes e intención conducta hacia inmigrantes estigmatizados. Avanzamos concepto condición recepción óptima: imaginar una interacción positiva un inmigrante antes leer mensaje testimonial que presenta como similar a audiencia. La óptima indujo mayor identificación transporte referencia, lo llevó más positivas...
Abstract This study seeks to understand how online discussion, fact‐checking, and sources of fact‐checks will influence individuals’ risk perceptions toward nuclear energy when they are exposed fake news. Using a 2 × 3 experimental design, 320 participants were randomly assigned one the six conditions. Results showed an interaction effect between discussion exposure in which lowered perception fact‐check was unavailable. Of those who participated viewed posted by traditional media have...
This study investigates a mechanism of mediated intergroup contact effects that occurs through experiencing social presence stigmatized outgroup character. Conceiving narrative texts as context for contact, we experimentally test ( N = 505) the perspective (first vs. third person) and photograph protagonist (present absent) on perceived We further whether socially present affects outcomes (i.e., perspective-taking, anxiety, knowledge, attitudes). Findings indicate first-person narratives are...
