Instagram is increasingly becoming a platform on which visual communication of cancer takes place, but few studies have investigated the content and effects. In particular, paucity research has evaluated effects participative engagement outcomes.

Motivated reasoning in response to disconfirming science information presents a challenging barrier communication. This article novel approach emphasis framing, which functionally equivalent is framed using ideologically consistent values and tailored the audiences. In contrast traditional framing approaches, held constant across frames only interpretations of are varied. Results from an experiment provide initial support for this ideology-based approach. Persuasive effects stronger...

This study examines women's media selections when under the gender–math stereotype threat and subsequent effects on their math performance through lens of Selective Exposure Self- Affect-Management (SESAM) model, mood management theory, social comparison theory. Female college students were randomly assigned to condition or control condition; then, they selectively browsed magazine pages showing female role models in stereotypical domains (beauty family) counterstereotypical (career science)...

Based on social comparison and role congruity theory, this study examined the effect of perceived attainability in media female models women's career interest. A 2×2 experiment was conducted which participants read a high or low message, then portrayals counter-stereotypical with family (high to gender role) without (low role). Results showed that message led self-inspiration higher interest, but only when were less self-relevant domain. Implications for use address issue underrepresentation...

Based on the selective exposure self- and affect-management (SESAM) model social comparison theory, a 2 × between-subject experiment was conducted in which participants were primed to think about their future or current self (temporal self-manipulation) experience positive negative affect (valence of manipulation). Participants then engaged task either upward downward targets, after self-evaluation, affect, possible measured. The results showed that priming self-led more time but did not....

Dynamic management and maintenance of self-concepts shape everyday selective media use. The present work examines related processes per the Selective Exposure Self Affect Management model with a focus on young women’s magazine In prolonged exposure study seven online sessions, women ( N = 181, 18-25 years, all Caucasian) completed signup baseline session, four daily sessions browsing pages (from beauty, parenting, business, current affairs magazines), 3 days later, follow-up. Participants...

This study examines the effectiveness of evoking other-oriented emotions in vaccine messages to promote advocacy behaviors. A between-subject experiment with a parent sample was conducted, which portrayals victim exemplar (someone who is suffering from consequence hesitancy) and moral selflessly helping others) were varied. Results showed that led greater empathy, elevation, both predicted responses. Implications findings future directions discussed.

Narratives can bring about related discussions, which influence narrative comprehension and future conversations – though little is known how these processes interact. This study considers the interplay of exposure to a teen pregnancy subsequent mother-daughter discussion in an experiment with mothers their teenage daughters. Participants watched or control narrative. After watching, they either participated sexual health completed distractor activity. The led greater endorsement myths on...

Intermolecular interactions, stereodynamics, and coupled potential energy surfaces (PESs) all play a significant role in determining the outcomes of molecular collisions. A detailed knowledge such processes is often essential for proper interpretation spectroscopic observations. For example, nitric oxide (NO), an important radical combustion atmospheric chemistry, commonly quantified using laser-induced fluorescence on A2Σ+ ← X2Π transition band. However, electronic quenching NO (A2Σ+) with...

Abstract. This study examined whether watching science-related entertainment narratives can influence science learning, interest in science, and information-seeking intentions. Based on the capacity model ( Fisch, 2000 ), a more precise processing variable called engagement with content was proposed as an additional mechanism that account for variance not explained by existing narrative variables. Results of between-subjects experiment showed increased all three outcomes. Engagement...

S-Nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are derived from the combination of sulfur and nitric oxide (NO) radicals in Earth's atmosphere fragment to products following photolysis. Extensive theoretical studies have focused on thermodynamic and, a lesser extent, photochemical properties RSNOs. However, experimental these compounds been limited due inherent instability RSNOs at room temperature. Using velocity map imaging (VMI), we explore photodissociation dynamics jet-cooled S-nitrosothiophenol (PhSNO) 355...

Abstract A message-testing experiment assessed the effectiveness of targeted video messages in changing six audience segments’ climate change understanding and concern. Participants viewed one four short videos addressing their segment’s informational needs, as identified by survey data on beliefs. Segments that are skeptical about were with scientific consensus science. unconcerned a impacts, segments concerned solutions. Comparisons to controls, who did not view video, revealed changes...

The effectiveness of behavioral change message strategies invoking the self-assessment (i.e. focusing on evaluating current behaviors) and self-improvement improving future motives pro-environmental information selection subsequent beliefs, attitudes, intentions were examined. Selective Exposure Self- Affect Management (SESAM) model self-affirmation theory offered predictions for audiences with varying levels environmental domain importance perceived self-discrepancy.
