Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

As a material sign and practice, the strands on black women’s heads signify and thus produce identity for them and of
them. The very words “black hair” constitute a sound image that has nothing to do with the color of those strands, and
everything to do with how in the postcolonial context of today, it is prepped, pressed, relaxed, braided, cornrowed, or
not – and with what implications. In the vein of engaging all signification in the context of studying media and
culture, this paper considers black women’s hair as a material signifying practice in order to further historicize and
contextualize the constitution of gendered, raced, and colonized interrelations of the private and public. The paper
also seeks to begin an interrogation into the ways in which its postcolonial constitution and operation spans the seas.

6135. Participatory, Promotional Cultures: "Sharing" and Self-Representation in the Contemporary Media Moment
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper investigates an emerging style of citizenship which sees participation in the dissemination of advertising
messages as a privileged means of making a difference in public life. The analysis explores the rationales by which
citizens use displays of ‘mediatized’ commodities to deliberately send persuasive political messages to others.
Specifically, I look at wearers of graphic T-shirts printed with politically-oriented images and slogans, a form of
popular culture which has become a fixture of the public visual landscape. Drawing upon 54 in-depth interviews with
people who wear political T-shirts, I discuss how they imagine their practices to be potentially influencing the
attitudes and behaviors of others around them and thus constituting a form of political action. I argue that the
phenomenon demonstrates an adaptive response on the part of everyday citizens to a politics subsumed from above by
a pervasive promotional culture and the postmodern primacy of signs and images.

Presented at the following event:

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Findings offer evidence of the “Conductor Effect,” which posits that violent video game play extends an angry mood,
leading to triggered displaced aggression. Triggered displaced aggression is when an already agitated person lashes
out in response to a mild annoyance. In an experiment of 28 women, subjects who were induced into an angry mood
and then played a violent video game were significantly more likely to displace their aggression intensely after a
triggering annoyance than those who were induced into a happy mood and played the game. We also found evidence
of a gendered “Proteus Effect.” Subjects playing using male avatars during violent video game were more likely
overall to displace their aggression intensely following a trigger than those playing as female avatars. This effect was
heightened in the angry mood induction condition. Results are discussed in relation to extensions to the model of
triggered displaced aggression.

Khan, U of California - Riverside

Presented at the following event:

5131. The Culture of Discourse About Nature
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Arundhati Roy’s essay Greater Common Good frames her vehement opposition to the construction of Narmada Dam
in central India. Roy contends that the project benefited a few at the expense of India’s poor, and the anti-dam protest
was much more than a fight to save the river valley; it was a struggle to reinstate justice in Indian democracy.
However, the pro-dam lobby, in a formal response (by civil society activist B. G. Verghese), dismissed her
contentions as anti-development diatribes. Exemplifying the critical trend in cultural studies, the article analyzes why
Roy’s powerful criticism of Indian democracy was misread by situating the debate in the surrounding contexts of
neoliberal globalization. It argues that texts are discursive practices, wherein meaning is constructed, circulated and
received within specific political/economic/social circumstances and power equations

Presented at the following event:

6321. Ethnographic Studies of Cultural Communication Practices in Language and Social Interaction
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This analysis examines the communication of identity in a Chinese Indonesian Evangelical (CIE) community in
Boston, MA. It treats members’ talk surrounding the key term ‘evangelism’ as a way of speaking which shapes group
identity. Using Cultural Discourse Analysis (Carbaugh 2007) as the main conceptual framework, the word
‘evangelism’ is treated as a key term through which other meanings of identity radiate (Carbaugh 2007). Terms such
as ‘good news’, ‘messenger’, ‘recipient’, and ‘joy’ form an evangelical identity that is unique to members of this
religious community. Members view themselves as messengers of the gospel who have neither the will nor the power
to convert non-Christians into Christianity. Dissemination, rather than conversion, is the goal of their evangelical
activities. Findings also indicate that members’ communication of their religious identity outweighs that of their
ethnic Chinese identity. Implications for members’ communication of Chinese identity are discussed towards the end
of the analysis.

Does political legitimacy—a key term in liberal political theory—exist in some form in decidedly non-liberal
contexts? A set of tools offered by Max Weber turns out to be very helpful in answering this question. This paper
argues that Weber saw modern political legitimacy residing not only in the rational authority of liberal bureaucracies;
but, more broadly, in the maintenance of a dynamic tension between administration and politics, or between means
and ends of government. This has important implications beyond liberalism. Taking the example of a decidedly non-
liberal political order—the Soviet Union—this paper argues that, however precarious and frequently skewed, some
meaningful tension between administration and politics did exist there, even though the country lacked classic
institutions of competitive elections, free press, and the rule of law that legitimize power in liberal polities. Special
attention in this paper is paid to people in occupations such as Soviet journalism and law who straddled the fields of
administration and politics. Through their daily actions, Soviet judges and journalists were able to partially maintain
that tension between administration and politics Weber saw as crucial to sustaining the legitimacy of modern political
institutions.

Dublin

Presented at the following event:

5242. Performing Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Community Online
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This paper examines online self-presentation and performances of gender by a group of Irish bloggers commonly
hailed as representing "the" Irish blogosphere. In 2006 danah boyd proposed that blogs are not the online
manifestation of their author's identity, but rather "the facet of them that is captured through the practice of blogging",
and that this facet comprises their "digital representation": "a locatable voice and identity in the digital world". In this
project, a blog is understood to serve both as digital representation for its author(s) and a space within which they can
connect to an online community that is both pre-existing and constituted by and through such connections.
Discussions of this community by its members, manifestations of boundary policing, and the harnessing of Irish
cultural and popular tropes are examined as methods by which communal and individual identities are written into
being through and across these blog texts; this paper argues that in this setting, community and individual identity are
mutually constitutive, and that concepts of gender and national identity are strongly implicated in the
construction/writing of these networked online selves.

Presented at the following event:

5327. On the Homefront: The Role of National Identity in News Coverage
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Advancements in war reporting, including Skype, blogs and cell phones, during the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan have provided local communities more access to media about international war (Silcock, Schwalbe &
Keith, 2008). Furthermore, thousands of journalists since 2003 have accepted the U.S. military’s invitation to be
“embedded” with U.S. forces (Katovsky & Carlson, 2004) – an unprecedented opportunity for newsworkers from both
national and local news organizations to report first-hand accounts of their “hometown” troops at war. This narrative
analysis (Bal, 2009) explores the juxtaposition of local crime news in Omaha, Nebraska with coverage of local troops
embedded in Afghanistan in April 2011. It argues that narrative devices such as scene-setting, characterization,
sourcing, and the use of dramatic elements constructed violence abroad as heroic and expected, but disruptive and
dangerous at home; these contrasts worked to sustain a dominant ideology of institutional superiority, reinforcing the
worth of American empire.

University of Chester

Presented at the following event:

6132. Issues in the Effects of Media on Youth Development
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper compares the influence of television (TV) on 174 primary school children’s European knowledge and
identities in England and Bulgaria. The study concludes that TV plays a strong role in collective identities when a
topic is salient on the agenda. TV raises awareness and knowledge and sets the direction of understanding about the
"imagined" European community. Yet, despite the higher salience of Europe on the Bulgarian media agenda,
Bulgarians feel less European than English children. The article provides an explanation to this phenomenon, thus
filling an important gap in the literature about media’s impact on collective identities formation with a particular focus
on imagined communities (after Benedict Anderson's powerful formulation) such as the national and the European
ones. It also adopts an innovative approach in the study of agenda-setting theory by investigating its application vis-à-
vis children through qualitative and quantitative methods.

Sex Trafficking, Julie L Taylor, U of Utah

Presented at the following event:

5541. Creating Community, Achieving Mission: Communication in Nontraditional Organizations
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Sex trafficking is a current topic of global concern. On the other hand, prostitution is frequently hailed as the ‘worlds
oldest profession.’ Both within the sex industry, these disparate situations are often addressed as the same, privileging
the latter. This paper explores the consequences of language and labels used when the two situations are conflated.
Employing a feminist-poststructuralist understanding of organizational scholarship, this study comes from a
communicative perspective and acknowledges the power of language in community comprehension. Chosen
strategically for their involvement in sex trafficking, members from government and non-government organizations
were interviewed in order to gain understanding around the role of each, in regard to sex trafficking. In the end, the
ways in which members viewed their purpose was directly correlated with labels for women in sexually exploited
situations. Finding that labels precede judgments, makes this study important for awareness raising about language in
sexually exploitative situations.
"Le Spectateur Engagé": Detachment Versus Involvement Among French War Correspondents, Sandrine Boudana,
Sciences Po

Presented at the following event:

5327. On the Homefront: The Role of National Identity in News Coverage
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In a comparative analysis of detachment versus involvement among French and American journalists, Lemieux and
Schmalzbauer (2000) defined ex ante ‘detachment’ as a professional attitude opposed to political and moral
commitments. Referring to the historical conception of objectivity as the professional standard of American
journalism, this definition seems reductive, especially in the case of French journalism, often presented as a counter-
model to American journalism. This paper endeavours to comprehend the importance and meaning of
detachment/involvement for French journalists. Based on interviews with French war correspondents, the study
reveals that whereas political detachment is endorsed as a professional attitude, emotional involvement is often
regarded as unavoidable and sometimes claimed to be moral. The paper examines the complexities and difficulties
posed by this conception.

6232. Effects of Sexual Media Content on Adolescents
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

As young people today are increasingly engaging in more casual forms of sex, scholars have recently come up with
the concept of a ‘hook-up culture.’ Nonetheless, we know little about how this new sexual culture is represented in the
media, or whether this representation may be culturally contingent. Using Hofstede’s cultural dimension of
masculinity/femininity, this quantitative content analysis investigated the visibility of the hook-up culture in 2,496
stories from three US and three Dutch teen girl magazines. Stories about casual sex occurred more often in the US
magazines. The Dutch magazines focused more on committed sex. The Dutch coverage also emphasized love with
regards to sex more often than the US coverage. Regarding sexual activities, petting was mentioned more frequently in
the Dutch magazines, while coital sex was mentioned more often in the US coverage. Condoms were covered more
positively in the US magazines. In terms of the occurrence of casual sex and its emotional context, the hook-up culture
is more visible in the US coverage than in the Dutch coverage. In terms of sexual activities and contraceptives, our
findings do not suggest a portrayal of the hook-up culture in either of the two countries.

Mitra, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

5341. Interaction as the Site of Organizing
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

While expertise is often taken as the possession of knowledge or ways of knowing, I examine it here as a rhetorical
performance, accomplished through deliberation along intra-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and extra-disciplinary
frames. This article specifically considers the context of sustainability, which may be regarded as a “civic science,” so
that both experts and lay public co-constitute and context expertise. I examine the vernacular rhetoric of sustainability
practitioners on an online discussion thread, noting how deliberative episodes of evaluation, competition and
inversion occur, which both challenge and reify “professional” norms. I also take note of the political constitution of
sustainability as a field and its practitioners, and the implications of the online medium for deliberative performances
of expertise.

7523. Taking Risks to Avoid Them: Risk Communication and the Environment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

As techno-environmental controversies increasingly confront us with tremendous democratic challenges, it is

imperative to investigate which discursive strategies in media discourses facilitate/impede democratic debate and
citizenship. This paper puts forward an approach combining a risk conflict-perspective and analytical framework of
critical discourse analysis which is applied to the debate on genetically manipulated food by analyzing how two
Belgian elite newspapers discursively (re-)define and interpret four controversial events. The analysis identifies two
distinct ideological cultures. Driven by values of market liberalism and profitability, one ideological culture is found
to repeatedly take up the defense of the status quo and to continuously enact processes of de-politicization to impede
democratic debate. The other, driven by values of equity and social and global responsibility, is found to facilitate
democratic debate by repeatedly challenging existing power relations, in terms of revealing competing sets of
assumptions, values and interests underlying opposing responses to scientific uncertainty.

Presented at the following event:

5231. Extended Session: Media Policy Meets Media Studies: Intersecting Histories
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

In 1934 the Communications Act handed radio frequency licenses for nearly two hundred educational stations to the
national networks. While a handful of pedagogical broadcasters persisted, mainly at Midwestern land-grant
institutions, the national radio infrastructure effectively became a commercial medium. This presented a problem for
various branches of the federal government. Radio had offered a new possibility to create universal access to public
education, but the Act had blurred the line between broadcasting as a public service and private investment. Thus,
when John W. Studebaker was serendipitously appointed both Federal Education Commissioner and Chairperson of
the Federal Radio Education Committee (FREC) in 1934, he was forced to address how to approach national
educational investment in radio. This presentation looks at how Studebaker mitigated conditions directly after the Act
and worked with both the networks and educational advocates to build early scaffolding for what ultimately became
national public broadcasting.

8133. Questions of Authenticity
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This study wrestles with the ever-shifting boundaries of "authentic" blackness through an examination of Bravo's The
Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) and its African American audiences. Non-dominant cultural capital, racial/class
performance, and racial/class authenticity are used to unpack how African American viewers from different status
groups understand the image of the Black elite presented in the program. Based on textual analysis and focus group
data, I identify three significant assessments of the show: 1) the Atlanta housewives are (almost) authentic
representations of blackness; 2) the Atlanta housewives are not representatives of the (black) elite; and 3) concerns
about the show stem from high-status participants' fears about linked fate. While participants blamed the show’s
producers for behaviors believed to be outside of the boundaries of "authentic" blackness, the housewives were held
directly responsible for an inability to accurately perform elite status.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Journalism is facing an exciting time, full of complex problems. One approach is to engage academics, practitioners,
and audiences in the development of stories about the future. Such narratives can function as a means to better
understand the capacity for change in organizations and their use of foresight to change in innovative ways. Scenario
planning is a methodology for building and analyzing narratives about alternative possible futures. There has been
little use of scenarios in journalism and mass communication — fields that are foundering as they adapt to new
technologies and business models. Our group has been experimenting with online scenario planning platforms to
enable discussion of the future of news media. Our theoretical approach draws upon Weick and Fisher, and
encompasses media and journalism studies, organizational, behavioral, and cognitive branches of communication
theory. The results of these scenarios may have implications journalism curricula as well as midcareer training for
practitioners.

Presented at the following event:

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This paper focuses on children’s credibility perceptions of parents’ messages about social norms. The data comes
from a larger dissertation research on communication between parents (as social control agents) and children about
norms of private information sharing. Accounts of communication episodes obtained through 29 qualitative in-depth
interviews among Asian Indian immigrant parents and adult children show that parents’ messages about norms are
influenced by their native cultural beliefs and children find such influence to undermine parents’ message credibility
with respect to validity, relevance and practicality. When negotiating with parents, children balance credibility
concerns with the asymmetric power equation (since parents have greater power) through strategies including
critiquing, and leveraging parents’ attitudes. The overall argument is that perception of credibility of parent’s
messages influence children’s attitude towards compliance and communication about norms. The study underscores
the relevance of interpersonal communication contexts for understanding the process of normative influence.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Over the course of 25 years as owner/publisher of West Virginia’s largest newspaper, The Charleston Gazette, W.E.
“Ned” Chilton III developed a journalism philosophy that he called “sustained outrage.” Newspapers too often failed,
he argued to the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association in 1983, to examine “basic injustices and fundamental
idiocies” and to use their resources to uphold First Amendment values. Between 1971 and 1986, Chilton launched and
defended dozens of law suits, establishing a variety of precedents at the local, state, and national levels. These include
the landmark 1979 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the publishing of juvenile names, opening state Bar
Association records to public scrutiny, and establishing a policy of suing the lawyers who sued him for libel. This
study explores his unusually vigorous invocation of First Amendment rights within the context of preserving the
public sphere and ongoing concerns over the fate of public debate without a muscular press.

Presented at the following event:

7233. Imagining Community
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper draws on the notion of ‘uncivil’ society (Ruzza 2009; 2010) and develops the concept of ‘uncivil’ social
media and examines it in connection to the growing attention to citizen media and civil society. The analysis focuses
on two Nordic anti-multiculturalist blogs, a debate site, and a transatlantic blog where the Nordic blogists disseminate
their anti-multiculturalist texts. The paper examines how the producers of the ‘uncivil’ social media define their role
in the media scape and how they understand and use the notions of ‘civic’ and ‘grassroots’. The paper argues that the
‘uncivil’ media producers draw on the grand civil society discourse that is celebrated across the political spectrum,
and this makes the regulating and counter acting particularly complex. This discursive maneuver cloaks the
exclusionist and racist ideologies, and the virtual appearances of the producers can on the surface seem civil, honest
and educated for an inexperienced reader.

Online Cultural Communication research has looked at online communities as spaces of practice, performativity, and
political activity. Oppositional and anarchic groups such as the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous, have
proved difficult to make sense of, both in the construction of their identity and in the ways in which they make their
political actions manifest. This paper aims to look at the ways in which Aristotelian rhetoric can be applied to look at
oppositional groups such as Anonymous and the types of productive work this application can provide researchers of
online communities. Furthermore, This paper will argue, that, in the case of their protest against Scientology,
Anonymous established a specific rhetoric based on epideictic oratory’s ability to define a common set of ethics and a
peculiar ethos of delivery consistent with the both the groups new political action and their traditional internal identity
as trolls, griefers, and pranksters.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Norwegians are some of the healthiest and happiest people on the planet, enjoying cradle-to-grave welfare and a
national savings fund well into the billions. Yet despite its transformational power in this society, oil is a complex and
highly debated topic among Norwegian policy makers, organizations, and everyday citizens. The perceived benefits
and risks of continued petroleum extraction range from environmental and ecological challenges to international
responsibilities in a globalized society. This study uses grounded theory methodology and data from one-on-one
interviews with twenty-four Norwegian policy makers to explore how organizational actors make sense of their
arguments surrounding oil policy, as well as the normative structures that are created and reified by sensemaking.
Specifically, several core categories identify technology as a central concept in this process: 1) technology as
nonhuman actor, 2) technology as knowledge source, and 3) technology as power.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Managing personal and work roles is a sensitive and often conflicting practice for organizational members. More
cross-cultural research is needed to determine how the customs of national cultures can have a monumental effect on
work-home boundary practices. This study uses in-depth interviews with diverse Norwegian professionals to highlight
the differences in the perceived demarcations of work/home boundaries in Norway with those in the U.S. Results
from a theoretical thematic analysis reveal that the typical Norwegian organization is distinct from its American
counterpart in its propensity to house a collective demeanor, managerial respect of work-life boundaries, and a high
level of personal and vocational flexibility. This research highlights variables that are often neglected by boundary
theory scholars and calls for an enhanced appreciation of the powerful role a country’s political and social norms can
play in the organization. Implications for boundary theory and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are offered.

This project investigated decision-making in families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Because
ASDs constitute a range of communicative and social disorders, parents make consequential decisions regarding care
and treatment for their children with ASDs throughout the life course. This qualitative interview study examined
reported decision-making experiences within these families and parents’ ideal ways for making decisions about their
children. Participants were 13 parents who had one or more children with an ASD. The interpretive analysis uses
structurating activity theory to examine participant experiences and their ideals. Results reveal how family system
elements mediate ongoing decision making and how those processes draw on and reproduce broader social structure.
Comparisons of participant ideals to their experiences identify points for family interventions.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Previous research suggests that direct-to-consumer advertisements for pharmaceutical drugs have the potential to
influence consumers’ perceptions of whether symptoms should be treated medically instead of through behavior
change. However, the relative frequency of messages emphasizing these approaches in pharmaceutical advertising
remains largely unknown. We conducted a content analysis of print and television advertisements for cholesterol
management medication between 1994 and 2005 (for print) and between 1999 and 2007 (for television). First, we
identify the extent to which established theoretical constructs drawn from health communication scholarship are
depicted in the content of DTC cholesterol advertisements. Second, we look specifically at DTC content portraying
messages of behavior change inefficacy when a pharmaceutical alternative is available. We find that DTC ads offer
many mixed messages about the efficacy of diet and exercise in reducing cholesterol and risk of heart disease. We
conclude with theoretical and practical implications of this work.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

On August 8, 1978, a battle-like scene erupted in the streets of Philadelphia, where members of the controversial
MOVE organization exchanged gunfire with police attempting to evict the group from their home. By the end of the
confrontation, one police officer was dead, eighteen others were wounded, and the MOVE house was razed. Before
the house was reduced to rubble, photographers and cameramen captured three stakeout officers beating MOVE
spokesman Delbert Africa. Through a critical analysis of visual imagery and news discourse, this paper examines the
ways in which news organizations guided audiences to read Delbert Africa’s body. Using the concept of “schematic
racism,” elaborated by Judith Butler, this paper argues that news organizations cast Delbert Africa as a “savage” who
constituted a threat to Philadelphia Police specifically and hegemonic whiteness more broadly.

5122. Knowledge and Expertise: Communication in the Management and Performance of Knowledge
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper focuses on factors affecting knowledge hoarding. Based on a series of interviews, the study finds that
knowledge hoarding is caused by (1) a lack of ability to share (both cognitive and situational), (2) various motivations
to either hoard or not share knowledge (related to rewards, safety and enjoyment) and (3) a lack of awareness what to
share, with whom to share, why to share and how to share. In turn, these three main reasons for knowledge hoarding
are influenced by the organizational (1) culture, (2) structure, (3) management and (4) ICT infrastructure. With this,
we contribute to the literature on knowledge and organizations by developing a comprehensive, yet extensive typology
of reasons for knowledge hoarding in organizations, and the organizational antecedents of these reasons. By focusing
on hoarding instead of sharing, our findings provide deeper insights into how to manage the process of making
individual knowledge collective.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Marketeers and service providers increasingly turn to Word of Mouth (WOM) as a means to persuade and inform
individuals regarding an organization, brand or product. Positive results have been reported within the commercial
sector, but does WOM also work within the context of a health education campaign? To explore the potential of
WOM in health education, effects of medium channel (WOM vs. print vs. control condition) and consumer
involvement (low vs. high) on participant responses were investigated. Furthermore, additional in-depth interviews
were conducted in which participants disclosed their experiences. The findings suggest that WOM communications,
instigated by a relatively small number of highly involved participants, can inspire attitude change among those that
are lowly involved with the subject at hand. Interview results, however, indicate that health professionals should be
aware of the increased efforts required from participants that WOM entails.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

When asked about their cross-border communication with family in Syria, Syrian-Alawi families from the Israeli-
Lebanese village of Ghajar with whom I conducted group interviews in 2011, downplayed such communication,
including their access to the relevant social and other media technologies necessary to communicate. Ghajar is
comprised of people who, despite their Syrian national identity and Israeli civic identity, live in a village that
geographically has been split between Israeli and Lebanese territory. In other words, the village is at the center of a
political conflict between not two, but three states. The villagers emphasized intragroup over intergroup and state
communication. Thus, despite their access to the relevant media technology and concern for their family’s wellbeing
amidst the violence gripping Syria, they downplayed the need for cross-border communication. Instead, they
emphasized intra-group interpersonal communication in Ghajar, and dialogically, simply expressed their general
appreciation for both Israeli and Syrian culture.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study sought to understand the culture-sharing group of people working within the shelter area of a Pacific
Northwest animal shelter through the Ethnography of Communication. About 63% of households in the United States
live with a companion animal (Risley-Curtis et al., 2006). Recently, there has been a shift toward closer examination
into the ways in which humans interact with animals, particularly companion animals. The guiding questions of this
study were: RQ1: What are the cultural communication forms performed in the context of the humane society? RQ2:
How do shelter workers communicate about companion animals? RQ3: What cultural meanings are instantiated
through communication in this context? This qualitative research approach included 40 hours of participant
observation, individual interviews and an analysis of a set of documents and artifacts. Utilizing the Ethnography of
Communication components, thematic & pattern analysis, findings revealed the use of three main communication
forms within the shelter: verbal, written and nonverbal communication, and the overarching key theme of relational
bonding occurring within an animal-centric organization among 4 relational categories: A. Shelter animals and shelter
animals, B. Shelter workers and shelter animals, C. Shelter workers and shelter workers and D. Shelter workers and
the public. Processes leading to relational bonding are delineated including detailed speech as well as aspects of
“broken bonds” and euthanasia and its effects within a “no-kill” organization.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study draws on the concept of network gatekeeping to examine the ways in which organizations have adapted the
processes of gatekeeping to respond to the collaborative, communicative power of users upon which they are
exercising their gatekeeping authority. Through a case study of the unprecedented 'Social Suite' provided for social
media-using fans of Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians, this paper explores the methods the gatekeeper has
used to both subvert and reinforce its traditional role. The role of the suite's users as active, though gated, participants
in the gatekeeping process is also discussed, using participant observation and depth interviews to delve into their
responses to the shifts undertaken. The study finds gatekeepers may extend their authority into networked realms by
allowing for greater access, freedom, and relationship while applying more subtle gatekeeping filters.

8121. Challenging Movies: Cognitive and Affective Complexity, Meaningfulness, and Entertainment Experience
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Research shows that viewers develop mental representations of movies. These representations serve several functions
—they generate expectations regarding content and plot progressions. Moreover, they affect selection, information
processing, and evaluation of a movie (e.g., Smith, 2003). In order to analyze the structure of such representations and
the categories viewers use to describe and evaluate movies, two studies were conducted. Study 1 (n = 505) examined
viewers’ understanding of film genres commonly associated with “meaningful” entertainment (e.g., tragedy, drama;
Oliver & Hartmann, 2010). Results reveal three film clusters that can be distinguished by content, emotional aspects
of the story and the story ending. Study 2 focused on viewers’ evaluations of dramatic movies. Participants (n = 177)
were asked to name a typical, a good and a bad exemplar of a drama. Depending on the type of exemplar (typical,
good, or bad) findings indicate that different evaluation criteria vary considerably in their salience to viewers.

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This research contributes to communication theory by extending Cheney and Ashcraft’s (2007) argument that
professionalism warrants additional theoretical research given its “complex interplay of symbolism and materiality in
the domains of interaction and artifacts surrounding ‘the professional,’ and especially its embodiment in work and
other settings” (p. 146). Given the pervasiveness, complexity and ambiguity associated with professionalism, the
works of Derrida and Foucault are well-suited as theoretical grounding for the contours and liminal spaces of
professionalism discourse. Putting Derrida and Foucault in conversation with extant professionalism research yields
two opportunities for future foci: the politics of professionalism as an archive and professionalism as a source of
pleasure. While these findings certainly have broader ramifications, the scope of this essay remains focused on the
implications for organizational communication theory and research.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Editors and publishers of women’s magazines have long realized the commercial imperative of appealing to well-
defined segments of the female populace—and to advertisers eager to target consumers in these neatly packaged
categories. These audience constructions ostensibly serve a purpose for magazines’ faithful readers too: they both
reflect and articulate their aspirational identities as members of “communities of interest.” In recent years, however,
the changing economies and technologies of media industries are challenging deeply embedded aspects of the
magazine business—including the ways in which they attract potential audiences. This paper draws upon thirty
interviews with magazine executives and producers to explore how they are rethinking their approaches to audiences
in light of digital media metrics, especially search engine optimization (SEO). After discussing the processes and
competing logics of SEO tactics, I address potential implications of renegotiated audience categories—both for
magazine readers and for magazine journalism writ large.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This study examines and compares press coverage of three prominent television news anchors Katie Couric, Diane
Sawyer, and Charles Gibson to understand current gender politics of broadcast news media. Using comparative textual
analysis the study found primary themes of appearance, personality, presentation and ratings, which are categorized as
personal and economic frames. However, the emphasis on these themes differed vastly in press coverage of the three
news anchors. Katie Couric received the most press coverage, with the emphasis on her appearance and personality.
Sawyer on the other hand received less coverage than Couric and the news reports emphasized ratings. In comparison
to Couric and Sawyer, Gibson received very little coverage. The study uses postmodern feminist theory to discuss
changes in broadcast news media and how cultural news norms are being supported as well as contested today.

In this essay we embrace discourse as a way to explore the language of sustainability. We begin by reviewing
Foucault’s (1972) notion of a discursive formation and system of discourse to reveal the power-laden qualities of any
discourse. This review provides two useful ways to explore any organizing discourse: the alignment of mutually-
reinforcing discourses and advantage of revealing discontinuities in discourses. We engage in a textual analysis the
discourses embedded in one specific, social ‘text” of sustainability to critically assess how a “green discourse”
functions as a discursive formation, how this specific discursive formation can be seen as a larger “system,” and how
this larger discursive system of “green” has direct consequences and effects for a the pursuit of promoting issues
related to sustainability.

lacking equipment and reporters leaned on activist networks to gather and spread information and as a result activist
narratives and reporting enjoyed increased influence over mainstream coverage. The Uptake, for example, a U.S.
citizen-journalist media hub and training organization centered around mobile digital reporting, posted its own reports
but also provided resources to Non-Government Organizations and to well-known journalists and authors such as
Naomi Klein. Divisions between legacy media and new media, between traditional reporting and alternative and
citizen reporting at the summit moved beyond the call-and-response relationship typical of previous global news
events such as the 2005 French Riots and the 2004 U. S. Republican National Convention. Rather than simply
responding to one another, the more complex media exchanges worked on the coverage to produce a notable mixed
official / activist version of events. This paper analyzes the coverage and media activist events occurring during that
event, categorizing contemporary genres of alternative and alternative-mainstream communication at play at the
conference and considering the use of digital experimental film and political and commercial remix material used in
conjunction with mainstream coverage of the summit in order to engage with and influence the global public sphere.

Having evolved from the two-dimensional monochromatic presentations of Pong, today’s video games represent the
cutting edge of computing technology and narrative engagement to fully immerse users in vivid and interactive
environments. While these aspects of gaming are central to their immense popularity, they present unique challenges
to researchers wanting to understand the many nuances of the medium. This panel seeks to walk participants through
these nuances by presenting a comprehensive look at video game design, from storyboard to special edition.

6331. Workshop on Innovative Methods in Communication History
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

“Turning transnational” is popular in communication studies and increasingly also in communication historiography.
We can observe a growing importance of historical research that goes beyond the explanatory framework of the
nation-state. The research on audiences, however, remains a desideratum. We do not know how “transnational” their
media use and life-worlds are and how this changed throughout history. This is partly caused by manifold
methodological challenges. In the workshop we want to discuss how to meet these challenges by presenting the design
of a current research project. As our basic assumption was that an understanding of audiences is to be found in their
respective life-worlds we had to find ways to approach these. As life-worlds are complex a triangulation of different
data collecting methods was advisable. Hence, we conducted a series of group-discussions, interviews, and
standardized surveys. We applied this strategy to survey people in the “EUREGIO Maas-Rhine”, a region where
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet. To gain insights in the development of life-worlds in changing (media)
cultures and throughout time, our research comprised people not only from the three nations, but also from three
generations. So we applied a triangulation of 3 methods on 3 generations from 3 nations.

In the 1970s Hample developed a successful model of intrapersonal argument. Based on Bayes’ Theorem, the model
used a normatively correct standard to predict people’s adherence to persuasive claims. That original research used
single item measures that could not be assessed for internal consistency. The present study estimates the reliabilities
of the appropriate measures so that corrections for attenuation can be made. In addition, the study explores the base-
rate fallacy to see whether it consists of bad reasoning or merely bad premises. Results show that Hample’s original
model is indeed accurate and that his original results understated people’s rationality in persuasive situations. The
base-rate effect is traceable to improper premises; given people’s premises, they continue to reason rationally. The
model is more accurate for high experientals than high rationals, in Epstein’s terminology.

The current study experimentally tested stereotypes and credibility of message associated with athletes. Participants
were asked to rate photos of Black and White baseball players based on stereotypes identified in previous literature.
They were then given an anonymous paragraph from a newspaper that featured either a stereotype consistent or
inconsistent message and asked to rate the author’s credibility. Black players were rated significantly higher in
physical strength and natural ability, which is consistent with previous literature. However, White-consistent
stereotypes were found to be credible, while Black-consistent were not. These results are interpreted in light of
Devine’s model of stereotype processing.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

As an allegorical character in geographic narratives, New Orleans, Louisiana frequently plays the role of the
exceptional, the carnivalesque, and post-disaster, the traumatized. In that community, residents bear the burden of
navigating those roles while communicating their own experiences of loss and renewal. As Lauren Berlant (2010, p.
112) reminds us about what she calls cruel optimism: “identity and desire are articulated and lived sensually within
capitalist culture [to] produce such counterintuitive overlaps.” This paper explores those counterintuitive overlaps
through a reception study of local viewers’ interpretations of the first two seasons of Treme, a television series
produced in the city for an international audience. Viewers’ ambivalence about the value of cathartic representations
overlap with contradictory feelings about a film economy which exploits cheap land and labor, promotes tourism, but
claims to promote the city and its ‘culture.’ Vicki Mayer is Associate Professor of Communication at Tulane
University. She has published three books on media reception and production: Below the Line: Producers and
Production Studies in the New Television Economy, Producing Dreams, Consuming Youth: Mexican Americans and
Mass Media, and Production Studies: Cultural Studies of Media Industries (co-edited with Miranda Banks and John

5520. How Fragmented Are We? Patterns of Media Use Around the Globe
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This study adopts a network analytic approach to understand audience fragmentation patterns in China and the U.S.,
the world’s two largest television markets. The network perspective conceives the markets as networks of channels
tied together by shared viewership among them. Using peoplemeter data in the two markets, we apply network
theories and measures to gauge and compare audience fragmentation patterns across major national channels in the
two markets. The findings reveal that audiences in both markets tend to gravitate towards channels with greater
market share (preferential attachment) as well as similar cultural characteristics (homophily). However, the Chinese
television market exhibits a higher level of concentration and a lower degree of fragmentation (balance) than the U.S.
market. Finally, there was evidence of higher-order patterns of audience behavior, suggesting the existence of channel
repertoires in the Chinese markets (transitivity).

Goals of Study Social capital is one of the most salient concepts in social science in understanding contemporary
societies, and also is increasingly explored in relation to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Since
mobile technologies have pervaded so much in all aspects of Asian youth’s lives (Donald, Anderson, & Spry, 2010;
Wei, 2006), the interaction between mobile phone use and social capital has caught researchers’ attention. Social
capital refers to those social resources that we invest in, accumulate, draw down and sometimes deplete within and
between social networks. Putnam (2000) has pointed out that networks, norms, and trust were features of social
capital. Up till now, most definitions of social capital have included both a structural dimension and a psychological
dimension. While the former is made up of social networks and relationships for achieving certain ends, the latter
comprises a range of social attitudes, relating to a willingness to trust other people and shared values, norms, and life
satisfaction. The two dimensions make it clear that social capital might be a useful way of understanding the role of
mobile phones may play. Hence this study asks: How does mobile phone use affect social capital? Will different
patterns of mobile phone use lead to increase or decrease of social capital? Previous research suggests that even
nations sharing cultural similarities report differences in mobile phone uses (Baron & Segregated, 2010). Assuming
that the mobile phone use may differ from country to country in the greater China for differences in political systems,
the media environment, levels of press freedom, and IT developments, this study pursues a comparative design that
includes four Chinese cities in Asia: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Taipei. The multi-city design allows us to
explore the similarities and differences in mobile phone use among Chinese youth in the four cities and how the
different uses affect social capital. This study aims to explore the question concerning mobile phone use and social
capital, and findings will help show that various mobile phone use is an important factor influencing the two
dimensions of social capital among Chinese youth in the four cities. Such a comparative study will not only expand
the scope of literature on social capital, but also contribute to the theorization of effects of mobile phone in the era of
4G communication. Research Questions We aim to use social capital as a framework for understanding the social
impact of mobile phone on smart phone users in Chinese societies. To be specific, This study examines if mobile
phone usage will be associated with the two dimensions of social capital: the structure dimension, including social
networks and group participation, and the psychological dimension, including social trust, and life satisfaction. Since
the applications on the mobile phone allow individuals to use it for fulfilling a variety of needs such as entertainment,
communication, or information, we will investigate if various needs for mobile phone uses may be associated with the
two dimensions of social capital differently. Accordingly, we raise four research questions: RQ1: How do young
adults use their mobile phones in the four Chinese societies? What are the differences and similarities in mobile phone
use? RQ2: What are the relationships between use for entertainment and the structure and psychological dimensions
of one’s social capital in the four Chinese societies? RQ3: What are the relationships between use for communication
and the structure and psychological dimensions of one’s social capital in the four Chinese societies? RQ4: What are
the relationships between use for information and the structure and psychological dimensions of one’s social capital in
the four Chinese societies? Method Data used for this study came from four parallel surveys of college students in
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taipei. Standardized questionnaire was used in each of the four surveys. The
fieldwork has been completed in January 2011. The sample totaled 3,538, including 723 (20.4%) from Shanghai, 587
(16.6%) from Hong Kong, 1,200 (33.9%) from Taipei, and 1,028 (29.1%) from Singapore. References: Baron, N., &

Under the framework of Ball-Rokeach and DeFleur's (1979) media system dependency theory, this study seeks to
investigate the Chinese pattern of media dependency relations in both crisis and non-crisis situations under the context
of Mainland China, where information is not always readily available from the mass media. 373 college students
participated in this survey. This study showed that, in China, (1) individuals' traditional media dependency decreases
in crisis, while as an alternative channel, Internet somehow takes over part of the responsibilities of traditional mass
media and individuals experiences an increase in Internet dependency intensity; (2) though traditional media
dependency as a whole suffers a decrease in crisis situation, individuals' motivation to achieve "social understanding"
through traditional media increases; and (3) main goals of individuals' Internet dependency is to play in both crisis and
non-crisis situations. More implications of the study were discussed.

The abundance of visuals in media has led to an increase in framing studies that measure the effects of the visual. Due
to the interpretive properties of images, an audience member’s individual frames mediate the frames disseminated by
the media outlet. Although this mediation of meaning is true of all framing, the audience intercedes to a greater degree
in visuals than in text. Still, most researchers simply implement framing theory when analyzing images. This paper
presents a visual framing model that explains how the media and the individual audience members interact in the
visual framing process.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The model of intuitive morality and exemplars (MIME) outlines a reciprocal relationship between media and morality.
It holds that all cultures place emphasis on five universal moral foundations (harm/care, fairness/reciprocity,
ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect, purity/sanctity) but that (1) the salience of foundations differs by culture, and (2)
content created for different cultures reflects these differences. Therefore, distinct morality-based patterns should be
found in media content produced for different cultures. Content analysis on a random week-long sample of Spanish
and English language soap operas coded how often characters in each sample supported or negated each foundation.
Results demonstrate that Spanish and English language programs varied. Although all foundations appeared
frequently in both samples, they were more prevalent Spanish telenovelas. Moreover, some foundations were more
frequently associated with particular characters. Discussion support assertions that these foundations are universal,
media play a role in their reproduction, and media content differs in emphasis by culture.

In this media post-convergence era, teenagers’ media consuming behavior is more complicated than ever before,
especially when they are considered as heavily users of social media (Ellison, Steinfield, & Lampe, 2007). Teenagers
put lots of effort to establish their unique identities and try really hard to differentiate themselves from each other on
social networking sites. However, unconsciously, while teenagers emphasize the uniqueness of themselves, they have
created a united subculture at the same time. This study follows a critical cultural approach and employs texture
analysis to analyze whether Facebook, as a form of social media, encourages teenager users autonomy to build their
own identities? Or rather, constrains and objectifies them? The potential results can enlarge the applied field of
critical culture approach and also help communication scholars to rethink the role of social media in establishing
teenagers’ identity. Reference: Ellison, N. B., Steinfield, C. & Lampe, C. (2007). The benefits of Facebook “friends:”

The Arizona HB 2281 law, also referred to as policy ARS 15-111 and 15-112 prohibits schools from offering courses
at any grade level that advocate ethnic solidarity, promote overthrow of the US government, promote resentment
toward a race or class of people, or cater to specific ethnic groups. Moreover, as stated by the policy a violation of any
one of the above four items constitutes a violation of the statute. The target of these policies is the Tucson Unified
School District's Mexican American Studies program, a program that has showed unprecedented success improving
performance by Latino students on standardized tests, graduation rates and admissions to college. In a document
entitled “Finding by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Violation by Tucson Unified School District”
submitted by Tom Horne, Superintendent of Public Instruction on December 30, 2010 he denounces the Mexican
American Studies program curriculum for incorporating Critical Race Theory, Imperialism, and Marxist theory and
declares the program in violation of policy ARS 15-111 and 15-112. This paper analyzes this document submitted by
the superintendent on December of 2010 and the possible implications of this policy on higher education.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Dual-process models have been tested many times since their conception roughly 30 years ago. This paper examines
issues associated with testability and processes involved in producing supporting evidence for these models. The
vague conceptualization of the two processing routes and difficulty associated with directly measuring the primary
predictors reduces the models’ testability. If researchers continue to test similar hypotheses, follow similar procedures
and employ post-hoc explanations, there is a fairly high probability that the models’ flaws will not be discovered and
corrected. This paper proposes that future studies aiming to improve the robustness of the dual-processing models
should challenge the models’ assumptions, propose alterative explanations, explore new methods, and consider the
possible influence of culture.

8154. Media, Citizens, and Governance: Creating National Conversations in Angola, Sierra Leone, and Tanzania
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

There is variation in the public’s understanding of the role of the media in improving local governance across Angola,
Sierra Leone and Tanzania. This research supports the BBC World Service Trusts’s work building community radio
capacity in these countries as part of the “A National Conversation” project, which involves the development of a
consumer watchdog programme that is broadcast via local community radio stations. Journalism training equips these
stations with the skills to deliver high quality reporting on the issues that affect people in their communities. The
programme constitutes a platform where these issues can be publicly discussed and where local decision-makers and
citizens are brought together and interact. Angola, Sierra Leone and Tanzania were selected for this study since they
are three countries with varying degrees of media openness and good governance. Consequently, the media’s capacity
to improve governance varies between these three countries. The model stipulates that the media’s role to lead to
improvements in local governance follows a transition “from talk to action”. This means that in order to see action,
conversations have to be started where there are currently none. This involves raising awareness to issues that are
important to the people, providing a platform for dialogue and equipping citizens with the information to participate
and make their voices heard. When these measures are provided the media begins to contribute to making government
officials listen to problems and to pay attention to them, which will ultimately make it more likely that problems will
be resolved. We hypothesise that the three countries will rank at three different points along the “talk to action” scale.
We further hypothesize that regular listeners of our consumer watchdog programmes will be more likely to see that
the media can play this role in improving governance in their local communities across all three countries.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Knowing about health rights is critical for obtaining equitable and appropriate health care. This study aimed to
develop a communication approach to inform members of a minority community—the Ethiopian immigrant
community in Israel—about their rights that will also motivate them to realize them. It draws on the suppositions that
rights information should address the concerns identified by members of the cultural community and should include
suggestions how to address these barriers based on their own recommendations. The study had a steering committee of
members of community organizations and over 100 people participated in it (5 focus groups, 50 interviews). The
formats used narratives based on community members’ stories and experiences. Participants felt the materials
represented their concerns and enhanced their motivation to realize their rights. However, because the ‘solutions’ to
help community members attain their rights were to utilize the community itself as a resource, this poses several
dilemmas and challenges, as identified by community activists.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

With the advent and increasing popularity of new communication technologies, social media tools have been widely
used in corporate organization-public communication. The extant literature on social media use in PR practice has
largely centered on the ways social media tools have transformed the practice of PR in the U.S. Very limited studies
have examined the role of social media in China. The present study represents one of the first to investigate the
measurement and challenges of social media use in Chinese PR practice. Based on 18 in-depth interviews with PR
executives, this study concludes that traditional quantitative methods of social media production and message
exposure have been utilized to measure social media campaigns, accompanied by the growing use of methods focused
on intangible impact of PR (e.g., online publics’ awareness, advocacy, and participation). Challenges unique to
China’s social media landscape are also identified. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This rhetorical analysis deconstructs the mediated gender portrayals and gender performances of transgender celebrity
Chaz Bono on the American television reality competition Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). We analyzed the fourteen
shows in which Bono appeared using Shugart’s (2003) paradigm for the normalization of subversive gender
performances. We follow in Sloop’s (2000) footsteps in our deconstruction of the mediated discourse surrounding a
transgendered person. Additionally, we look to Butler’s (1999) theory of gender performance to examine the
unscripted performances of Bono. Finally, we position both Bono’s performances and the mediated frame surrounding
him in a heteronormative (Warner, 1991) worldview that seeks to keep the dominant discourse (Foucault, 1977) in
control while projecting false agency and autonomy to discourse members. Despite the heteronormative box Bono is
forced into, his appearance on a mainstream network with unscripted opportunities is a step in the direction toward the
acceptance of transgendered people in society.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This study takes a qualitative approach to the study of on-again/off-again romantic relationships as it analyzes
partners’ talking to each other about their relationship. It focuses on the discursive practices partners enact to
construct and deal with the challenging nature of their relationship. Our framework for the study is Tracy’s (1995,
2005) Action-Implicative Discourse Analysis (AIDA), which aims to reconstruct problematic communicative
practices or situations within a social context for the benefit of that context. Our launching point comes from Dailey
and colleagues’ initial examination of on/off relationships where they are presented as romantic relationships rife with
challenges. We show that in partners’ talk about the cyclical nature of their relationship, challenges are reframed as
vulnerabilities. We argue that they employ interactional strategies that help them come to terms with vulnerabilities
and make sense of the current status of their relationship as stable despite its threatening instability. Discussion
reflects on the implications and limitations of studying the discursive practices of on-again/off-again relationships.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

TV advertising is one of the most widely-employed avenues through which transnational companies speak directly to
local consumers. It provides an opportunity to observe the dynamic interaction between the global and the local at the
micro level. Drawing inspiration from the cultural studies of advertising and relying on interpretative methods, this
paper chooses KFC China’s TV commercials in the 2000s as a prism to consider the way Chineseness is strategically
constructed and presented to cater for Chinese cultural sensitivity. The main contributions of this paper are twofold:
first, the case study of KFC China’s advertisements exhibits a richer picture of the tension between globalization and
localization in terms of image representation; second, the comparative study of KFC commercials in three regional
markets (Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) has demonstrated how the degree of localization may vary within
the same cultural community contingent on the social historical particularities.
A Four-Tier Relational Model of Japanese Conflict Communication, Jiro Takai, Nagoya U

Presented at the following event:

5552. Conflict? What Conflict? Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Japanese Conflict Communication Strategies
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Japanese conflict communication studies have long challenged the view that integration is the almighty strategy, as
represented by Ohbuchi’s (1991), Japan-US comparison of conflict management styles, in which he found that
avoidance is the most popular and common conflict strategy of the Japanese. However, avoidance is by no means the
prescribed solution, as Japanese can be just as direct and open, or even more so, than Americans, depending on who
the other person is, thus not one prevalent strategy is characteristic of the Japanese, but they are likely to use a variety
of strategies depending on the relational other. This presentation proposes a conflict communication model based on
the level of relational intimacy of the partner, assuming that Japanese choice of strategy is most strongly influence.
The model lays out four tiers of intimacy: inner ingroup (very close), ingroup (close but high concern about their
approval), inner outgroup (distant, yet high concern about , outgroup), and discusses conflict strategies typical of each
tier. Japanese are more direct and open to relational extremes, while they resort to indirect strategies with the middle
tiers. This implies that competitive strategies are likely with inner ingroup and outgroup, while accommodation and
avoidance strategies are preferred for the ingroup and inner outgroup. With this, implications toward the intercultural

Douglas Saxton, U at Buffalo - SUNY; Jun Zhuang, U at Buffalo, SUNY

Presented at the following event:

5341. Interaction as the Site of Organizing
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The information organizations choose to disclose is a strategic consideration. The ``success'' of strategic disclosure is
contingent in turn on the target audience's values and preferences. The disclosure of and reaction to key organizational
information thus involves a strategic interaction between the producer and consumer of the information, yet prior
communication research has focused on only one side or the other of this equation. In response, we examine
organization-public interactions in a domain with key, measurable outcomes -- the charitable donations marketplace --
and propose a game-theoretic explanation of organizational disclosures and individual donations. Such an approach
explicitly accounts for the strategic interplay between organizational disclosures and donor behavior, and has broad
applications for the organizational and interpersonal communication literatures.
A Historical Comparison of the Social Origins of Broadcasting Policy, 1896-1920, Seth Ashley, Boise State U

Presented at the following event:

5231. Extended Session: Media Policy Meets Media Studies: Intersecting Histories
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Using the United States and Great Britain as a comparative case study, this paper employs an historical institutionalist
framework to consider the broad array of social, cultural, political and economic contexts that guided the early
development of broadcast policy. How can we explain the divergent outcomes in these policies exemplified in the
U.S. and Britain? The historical approach, with attention to critical junctures and path dependence, is necessary to
look back and see where significant patterns emerged and whether they were adopted or avoided. This approach can
help to understand and explain policy outcomes; it also can inform modern policy debates about the proper role of the
state in society.
A Long and Winding Road to Development: Lessons Learned From ICTD Project in Rural Tanzanian Schools, Juhee

Presented at the following event:

7138. Critical Perspectives on Development Campaigns
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Despite the increasing number of activities to provide access to ICT for development (ICTD) in developing countries,
evidence on positive impacts and sustained ICT usage is still scarce. This is due in part to difficulties in
contextualizing the system both in physical and socio-cultural environment. The paper presents a case study on an
ICTD project in two rural schools in Tanzania. We provide an exploratory survey result on internet use behaviors
among teachers and students who accessed computers for the first time in their life. The so-called “hole-in-the-wall”
effect did not happen in our project, and many students and teachers reported a need for training. Using a mixed-
method approach, the paper supplements the survey results with the findings from field observation and informal
interviews to address the reasons behind the barriers to computer use, and to discuss how the project and other similar
initiatives can be improved by taking a more comprehensive and participatory approach. We recommend a
comprehensive framework with a participatory approach, with a strong emphasis on training and motivation-building
as a key to succeed in ICTD projects.
A Manchurian Western: Cross-Cultural Phenomenon of Genre, Youngyiil Kim, Sogang U

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The Good, the Bad and the Weird(2008), a so called Manchurian Western that adopts conventions of the American
Western to depict a world far from the 19th of America, raises a few questions regarding genre in a globalized
context. The question that concerns here is about genre in different territories. When genre moves from one place to
another, are there subsequent changes in dynamics of mise-en-scene and its historical background, and significations
of icon, character and plot? If so, can one define those changes as culturally bound transformations, arguing that a
genre works in connection with the cultural practices specific to the territory to produce the meaning of its own rather
than re-produce the meaning found in the original format of genre? It is particularly unique of the Western that it
leaves a mark of the origin, even when it is taken out of the original context of production and consumption. Its
landscape, dichotomy of good and evil, pre-modern and modern, local and nation, and so on sip through the regional
variations. Thus, the varied texts with the mark of the origin cause the complication in terms of how to make sense of
them. With the case of spaghetti Western, one might argue that the regional take on the American genre is a
development that has a distinctive look of self-reflexivity. It means that the original mark of the genre remains intact
(with a twist). Therefore the form of the genre is repeated and the certain cultural values hidden in the form are
sustained. It can only lead to supporting the theory of cultural imperialism. However, the Korean style Western does
not simply verify what the American one asserts but produces the unique form and meaning, since the transplant of
genre in a foreign environment is a matter of the re-working of the original form, integrating the already existing
cultural system of significations of the region. As in the case of The Good, the Bad, the Weird, a Manchurian Western
re-imagines the nation, albeit not in a wholly concerted and unified way, by resorting to the fraught geo-politics of the
North East Asia in a way that is reminiscent of but conceptually different from the deploy of the vast landscape of the
American Western in constructing the imaginary space of the nation. The cultural identity of the region that adopts the
genre interacts with the original form to create its own signification.

Presented at the following event:

7452-14. Instructional and Developmental Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Abstract: It has now become a universal mandate than communication programs conduct assessment of whether
students attain selected learning outcomes. However, approaches to assessment unique to communication, at least
beyond the basic public speaking course, are rare in the literature. This paper defends a particular approach to
communication assessment, which we call “meta-assessment,” as a key to negotiating the unique attributes of the field
of communication, especially in heterogeneous academic departments. We further argue that this approach can
benefit assessment of similar, interdisciplinary academic programs. Keywords: assessment, field of communication,
metatheory, learning outcomes, disciplinary identity.

Presented at the following event:

7135. News, Conflicts, and Crisis
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This study examines the press coverage in the Israeli and Palestinian press concerning a videotape of the abducted
Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, provided by Hamas, in exchange for the release of 21 Palestinian prisoners. The study
analyzes the reportage in the larger context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an attempt to determine the extent to
which it contributes to the escalation or resolution of the conflict. Examining two newspapers each from Israel, Fatah
and Hamas, the study contributes in three ways. First, the prominent and continuous coverage opens the possibility for
the media to play an influential role in the conflict. Second, media coverage directs public attention to issues that
might resolve rather than escalate the conflict. And third, while the reporting of the parties to the conflict tends
towards ethnocentricity, still the press serves to moderate a de facto dialogue among the parties; while no formal
political dialogue exists, it is possible to discern a media bias in favor of conflict resolution.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Because the ongoing innovation of journalism defies traditional newsroom spaces and occupational boundaries, our
research engages a multi-sited, mixed-methods approach for studying a salient case at the intersection of journalists
and technologists—the Knight-Mozilla News Technology Partnership. This panel proposal discusses the methods of
virtual ethnography, open-source survey design, and online data “scraping,” examining both the innovative nature of
these methods and the questions they raise about their proper use in research. Additionally, we consider the ethics of
negotiating access and coordinating online-vs.-offline relationships with research participants. Ultimately, we explore
how these qualitative and quantitative methods—their combination and their application to this novel context—
contribute to the study of media sociology, technology, and innovation.

Presented at the following event:

8242. Social Support and Esteem
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Three studies tested a multiple goals theory of edifying by pinpointing and replicating message practices associated
with esteem support in friendship, and individual differences which predict esteem support skill. Study 1 (N = 123)
discovered particular message practices and themes in three esteem support situations. Across situations subjects high
in cognitive complexity and level of message design logics were more likely than less complex perceivers to convey
caring and confidence, handle the other’s concerns, and reasoning about the other’s qualities. Study 2 (N =119)
showed that the same themes occurred in support recipients’ narratives, and that the theme, don’t worry, was
considered to be less effective than other themes. Study 3 (N = 103) showed that planning was a stronger predictor of
summary measures of competent esteem support themes than cognitive complexity or self-esteem, but that planning
was moderated by cognitive complexity and self-esteem. Implications of the findings for social support skills are
discussed.
A Network Approach Toward Literature Review, Lidwien van de Wijngaert, Twente U

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper presents a method that uses a network approach toward literature review. To employ this network
approach, we use hypotheses in scientific papers as building blocks. In network terms, a hypothesis is a dyad or a
directed tie between two variables or nodes. The network emerges by accumulating the hypotheses from a set of
articles in a specific domain. This paper explains the method and its possibilities for data analysis. For proof of
concept, we provide a case study on the adoption of eGovernment services. We will finalize the paper by evaluating
the method and providing suggestions for further research.

Social network analysis (SNA) as a research tool has been underused in public relations, yet it offers opportunities to
expand theory in public relations beyond the examination of the organization–public dyad. This paper offers a
discussion of relationship management theory and organization to public relationships (OPR), and extends these
concepts to a networked level. The paper also theoretically and methodologically links SNA to OPR through data
gathered from a study of a network of Peruvian civil society organizations. The results the study are discussed and
positioned in terms of their contributions to extending relationship management and OPR. Discussion and conclusions
sections are provided, including critiques of SNA and suggestion for future research.

Presented at the following event:

6141. The Ties that Bind: Networks and Network Analysis in Organizational Communication Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The current study examines how relationship characteristics that emerge in situ in computer-mediated temporary
teams impact trust. The present research is based on the notion that trust in virtual temporary teams is contingent on
not only the attributes of individuals but also the relational characteristics that stem from interactions and relations
that constitute membership in a temporary team. To measure relationship characteristics in this context, the present
study introduces network analysis to the context of computer-mediated temporary teams. Considering the fact that
group members are embedded in a total of 10 groups, we analyze data using multilevel linear modeling (MLM). It is
shown that several individual level variables -- reciprocity, tie strength, and centrality-- are associated with trust. A
group level explanatory variable, density, is not a significant predictor of trust and no interaction between the level-2
variable and the level-1 variables is found.

Presented at the following event:

7620. News Reception Effects Within Broader Frameworks: Cognition and Interpretation
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Context effects in news reception have received scarce attention in media effects theory and existent media priming
models do not fully address them. Taking into account findings and theories from priming, context effects, framing,
and connectionism research, this paper proposes a network model to theorize about the mechanisms involved in
context effects during news reception. Previous network models do not provide the mechanisms for such effects and
previous assimilation-contrast models do not explain them from a network perspective. This model is compatible with
and extends Price and Tewksbury’s model (1997), provides a plausible explanation for assimilation and contrast
effects within a connectionist framework, and introduces the concept of motivated-nodes putting the basis for
assimilation and contrast to take place. The model allows individuals to make comparisons among spatially and
temporally co-occurring stimuli and it provides elements to understand other cognitive media effects such as framing
and agenda setting.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

“Extended Abstract for Special Call on Innovating in Journalism Studies: New Theoretical and Methodological
Approaches”. Long before the current era of ubiquitous mobile and networked technologies, scholars emphasized the
importance of understanding media as an environment shaped by relations between the various actors and interests.
Pierre Bourdieu, for example, saw the key unit of analysis in media research as the field, the universe of journalists
and media organizations acting and reacting in relation to one another; Jürgen Habermas gave us a normative concept,
the public sphere, to imagine the ideal communication space; Marshall McLuhan’s work on media ecology implied
the importance of studying media environments. While these theories and observations about the media vastly differ,
they have in common a view of media as a landscape made up of different forces, structures, and power dynamics. In
today’s networked news environment this view takes on new import as technologies evolve and are developed and
tweaked by users, borders that once separated sources, reporters, advocates, genres and audiences have grown dim and
elastic, and information streams cross in new ways and at different levels. We can no longer expect to understand
news by focusing exclusively on isolated elements of journalism--audiences, content, producers, organizations,
technologies and so on. Instead we need to work to develop methods and theories that work in the service of
understanding the emergent networked media landscape and the connections among all of these various elements. In
order to illustrate a networked approach to studying emergent journalism, I will discuss my current research on the
overlap and interplay among activist media and traditional journalism producers and news content related to coverage
of the 2011 UN climate summit in Durban South Africa. The research combines 3 different methodological
approaches—in-depth interviews with media activists, developers and professional journalists involved in
communication about the summit; content analysis of news products; and web mapping using Issue Crawler, the Web
network and visualization software, to locate and visualize issue networks—in order to address the question of how
activist and advocacy news and information overlaps with traditional news coverage both on the ground in Durban
and in content about the summit and climate change politics more generally. This particular combination of methods
was born of necessity and, of course, is not a prescription for all journalism research. Rather as journalism scholars
attempt to understand new news content, actors, norms, and flows, we must reconsider how we can best understand
this new environment based on our own specific research questions. Power in the networked media landscape is more
complex than in the era of mass media when ownership and professional norms and practices dictated to a large extent
content and distribution. We should build on past theories of media environments—the public sphere, field theory,
media ecology, and others—while at the same time working to created updated methods and conceptual foundations
to reflect these more sophisticated power dynamics. Journalism research, like journalism, is going through a
transformation and as the work of journalism evolves; our job as researchers becomes more complex. We should no
longer investigating what journalism does to publics, but rather what publics do with journalism? And we should not
think in terms of what our research can prove but instead what can it suggests about how best to build a journalism
that successfully serves the public interest. That is, we need to move away from asking questions based on our
certainty that we have the tools to answer them and instead ask the big questions and then invent ways of finding
answers, borrowing from other fields, combining methods and approaches, and checking and double-checking what
we think we know against new evidence.
A New Era of Minimal Effects? A Study of Individual and Societal Agenda-Setting Effects, Jesper Stromback, Mid

7220. Issue Careers and the Agenda Setting Process
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

In recent years, profound media environmental changes have sparked a controversy regarding the influence of mass
media on public opinion. In this debate, some have argued that we are entering a new era of minimal effects, while
others disagree. A key distinction largely missing from this debate is between aggregate and individual level media
effects, however. Against this background, this study investigates agenda setting effects at both the aggregate and
individual level. By combining a panel survey and media content analysis, we are able to make stronger causal
inferences about agenda setting effects on both levels. Briefly, the results show that there are agenda setting effects on
both the aggregate and individual level; that degree of media consonance matters for agenda setting effects on the
individual but not the aggregate level; and that partisan preferences do have an influence on issues low, but not high,
on the media agenda.

Presented at the following event:

7321. Audience-Journalist Relationships in Online News Production and Consumption
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Participatory democracy encourages citizens to interact with the press and online comment sections might be the
feature that allows for this interaction. This paper investigates journalists’ perspectives on the implication of
newspaper online comment sections in light of journalism’s traditional gate-keeping role. As compared to Letters to
the Editor, online comments are generally not heavily controlled by editors or journalists; but rather, monitored by
participants. Interviews with journalists at national and local newspapers reveal that the online commenting feature
has the potential for increased participation but current policies and practices are not allowing comment sections to
flourish the way civic journalism proponents would like. Suggestions for comment policies and implications for their
use are provided.
A Newspaper’s Effect on the Strength of the Automatic Association in Memory, Florian Arendt, U of Vienna

Presented at the following event:

7452-20. Mass Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

We tested if reading a newspaper which overrepresents foreigners as criminals strengthens the automatic association
between “foreign country” and “criminal” in memory (i.e., implicit cultivation). Further, an experimental investigation
was done to find out if reading biased articles produces a short-term effect on the same measure and if (1)
emotionalization of the texts, (2) emotional reactions of the reader (arousal), and (3) attributed text-credibility
moderate this effect. Supporting evidence for implicit cultivation and a short-term effect was found. However, only
emotionalized articles (compared to short factual texts) produced a short-term effect indicating that texts must have a
minimum of stimulus intensity. There were no moderating effects of arousal or credibility pertaining to the impact on
the implicit measure. However, credibility moderated the short-term effect on an explicit reality estimate (estimated
frequency of criminal foreigners). This indicates that the effect on automatic associations is relatively independent
from processes of propositional reasoning.

Presented at the following event:

7651. Talk About Sex and Sexual Assault
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Sexual assault survivors disclose to informal sources (family and friends) at a much higher rate than they disclose to
formal sources, such as the police or medical personnel. Thus, sexual assault disclosure is an important interpersonal
communication phenomenon. Sexual assault literature suggests that communication during and following disclosure
may be complex and difficult for both survivors and confidants, but to date, little research has directly assessed the
perceptions of confidants or examined their experiences post-disclosure. Guided by the normative approach, the
current study examines confidants’ experiences during and following sexual assault disclosure. Through qualitative
interviews, we elucidate themes relevant to communication challenges and dilemmas, which have implications for the
management of private information, provision of social support, and regulation of emotion. We discuss these themes
in terms of their contribution to communication and sexual assault literature and offer multiple practical applications
for our findings.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Given stagnant levels of alcohol consumption and binge drinking among adolescents in the United States, this study
assesses changes in the influence of peer norms—and their interactions with time, gender and ethnicity on alcohol
consumption. Panel survey interviews of adolescents (N=1,607) were completed in the ninth grade and then again in
the twelfth grade with students from Louisiana. Fixed effects multiple regression assessed the relationships between
the changes in two types of peer norms (i.e., descriptive norms and injunctive norms) and two alcohol consumption
measures: 30-day alcohol prevalence and binge drinking. Increases in 30-day alcohol prevalence were associated
with both descriptive norms and injunctive norms, whereas binge drinking was associated with only descriptive
norms. The effects of both types of peer norms intensified over time, and the effects of descriptive norms varied
according to gender and ethnicity. Specifically, the influence of descriptive norms was greater on males than females
and on Caucasians than African Americans. Communication interventions that target adolescents in the context of
alcohol consumption should consider the temporal variability of peer normative influence, as well as how it varies by
gender and ethnicity.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Previous studies on the repetitive behaviors (e.g., repeteated TV viewing) ignored the initial stage of behavior choices
and overestimated the homogeneity of behaviors in behavior streams. When individuals encounter new environment,
how did they exactly act before repetition of certain behaviors over the alternatives? What is the underlying
mechanism for such a process? This study aims to explore the pattern (i.e., behavior transition and repetition) within
behavior streams in an unfamiliar situation with optional behaviors, and map the whole trajectory of behavior choices.
An evolutionary model at the individual level is developed to analyze behaviors of 6 cohorts P2P users from their
registration date on. We found that the behavior choice in this situation is a process of incongruity adaptation from
behavior transition to behavior repetition.

This paper sketches a prehistory of radar through the antecedent technologies of the torpedo, war horn, and death ray.
It develops this prehistory within a framework of Norbert Wiener's work on radar and feedback, and contributes to a

states' orderings and arrangements of movement, and are evaluated in their effects on citizens, nomads, and
immigrants.
A Primer on the Trim and Fill Method of Detecting Publication Bias in Meta-Analyses and a Trim and Fill Estimate

Presented at the following event:

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Publication bias can occur when studies do not get published in academic journals because the study did not find a
statistically significant result. It can bias meta-analytic estimates upwards because the meta-analyses are missing
studies that provide small estimates of the effect size under study. The trim and fill technique of estimating the impact
of publication bias on meta-analyses (Duval and Tweedie, 2000a, 2000b) is described and a worked example
provided. A sample of 68 meta-analyses of communication research were tested for publication bias using the trim and
fill technique. The results suggest that most communication meta-analyses are not substantially affected by
publication bias.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Boster et al. (2011) developed three scales measuring connectedness, persuasiveness, and health mavenism to identify
influential members of social networks they call “superdiffusers.” Superdiffusers, if recruited to diffuse a behavior
change, are thought to have the ability to impact the health behaviors of a given social network. To investigate further
the psychometric properties of the scales, a study was conducted to test their concurrent and predictive validity using
both longitudinal and cross-sectional samples. Evidence was found consistent with the concurrent and predictive
validity of the health maven scale. Additionally, a high level of test-retest reliability was established.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

When citizens seek opportunities and protections by moving to a new location, whether temporarily or permanently,
the nation-based model of citizenship often fails to account for their practices as mobile people. The disconnection
between the idea of nation-based citizenship and the current practices of migrants, stateless people, and travellers,
presents the opportunity to redefine citizenship. I propose a new understanding of citizenship based on the concept of
mobility and the metaphor of stochastic citizenship, the idea that our origins and places of birth are random, to address
the tension between the legal structures governing citizenship and mobility as a human right. I discuss the Roma
population in Europe as a test for stochastic citizenship and an exploration of the reasons why a nation-based model of
citizenship is no longer sufficient to address the theory and practice of mobility.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Our interest is in people's information seeking strategies during community-wide disasters, and people's efforts to
obtain credible information in the high uncertainty conditions that often result under such circumstances. Our focus is
on the myriad options people have for information gathering during disasters, which range from well-known
international news and information outlets to a host of local news media to a variety of social media and information
dissemination tools where information is provided not by traditional sources, but by individuals themselves. Each of
these sources has implications for information credibility, particularly under the highly uncertain conditions
accompanying community disasters. We focus on the information-seeking strategies people use to select from among
the available options, the perceived (dis)advantages of each, and the implications for individual information
consumers' uncertainty management.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Throughout the 1940s and 50s, structural critiques of advertising rarely reached the mainstream of public debate, but
all that changed in 1968 when Ralph Nader and his “Nader’s Raiders” launched a scathing critique of the FTC,
accusing the agency of failing to fulfill its consumer protective obligations. With the support of Congress, the FTC
launched a series of investigations into advertising practices by automakers, pharmaceutical manufactures and various
food industries and in the mid-1970s, the FTC attempted to ban advertising to children. Similar to the ways in which
consumer demand had threatened “the status quo of advertising” in the 1930s, regulatory empowerment in the 1970s
posed drastic changes for U.S. businesses. The latter marshaled significant resources in a battle against the re-
energized FTC and resurrected many of old PR strategies. Thus, for business, the successful outcome was a temporary
shutdown the FTC in early 1980 followed by a slashed its budget which ultimately hampered the agency’s consumer
protective programs.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Boster, Carpenter, Shaw, and DeAndrea (2010) and Boster, Shaw, and Liang (2011) developed and tested a family of
dynamic models of the Theory of Reasoned Action (DTRA); however, both models do not elucidate action that
includes both voluntary and involuntary elements. One possibility is that a non-recursive version of the TRA could be
transformed into a Dynamic Non-Recursive Theory of Reasoned Action (DNTRA). Therefore, this paper will
propose, develop, and test a model in which the causality of the TRA variables is a non-recursive form of the TRA. A
causal model was constructed and a formal theory that reproduces this structure was developed in order to examine
the strength of the autoregression parameters when varied, with attention to the impact on model equilibrium, the fit of
the cross-sectional model, and the change in the distributional properties of the endogenous TRA variables.
Theoretical and statistical implications of these results are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

In this study the model of media attendance (LaRose & Eastin, 2004) was validated in the context of problematic
game behavior. In total 443 gamers aged between 14 and 75 years participated in the study. On the basis of structural
equation analysis, the results show that deficient self-regulation has a significant influence on both experiencing
problematic game behavior and habit strength. Although habit strength leads to more game use, time spent on gaming
has little influence on problematic game behavior. Conclusively, it seems that deficient self-regulation is the most
important factor that explains experiencing game behavior as problematic or not.
A Social Ecological Perspective on Understanding “Honor Killing”: An Intercultural Moral Dilemma, Tenzin Dorjee,

7251. Culture and Family
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Aligned with the theme of “Communication and Community,” this paper focuses on killing in the name of honor
(Idriss & Abbas, 2011) that has received scant attention from intercultural communication scholars. Incompatible
moral value sets are often translated and expressed through the complexity of intercultural communication at various
institutional and community reaction levels. While we do not condone honor killing, it certainly presents an intriguing
moral dilemma situation at various intercultural analytical levels—from cultural worldview clashes to micro-level
interpersonal decoding reactions. The social ecological perspective (SEP) (Oetzel, Ting-Toomey, & Rinderle, 2006)
informs our understanding of honor killing because it provides multi-layered and embedded contextual framing of the
situation. First, this paper contextualizes honor killing and moral dilemma. Then, it presents a true story of honor
killing. Subsequently, having discussed SEP and its central ideas, it applies SEP to the Banaz Mahmod's killing. It
concludes with future theoretical directions.

5324. Inequality and Digital Divide
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

For the first time in Internet history, we found that people with low levels of education and unemployed and disabled
individuals are using the Internet for more hours a day than higher educated, employed, and student populations. To
explain these findings, we focus on differences in usage and distinguish between serious, entertainment and every-day
life applications. A number of usage gaps clearly appeared in the findings. Included among these are the general gaps
of gender, age, education and Internet experience that have often been observed in the digital divide literature of the
last fifteen years. The general conclusion is that when the Internet matures, it will increasingly reflect and sometimes
even reinforce known social, economic and cultural relationships of the offline world, including inequalities.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

The success of the United States’ female athletes in the 1996 Olympics spawned immense public enthusiasm for
women’s sports in America. Along with the imminent launch of the Women’s National Basketball Association in the
summer of 1997 and nearly two decades of surging female athletic participation due to the effects of Title IX, a
generation of young women had grown up as athletes — and a new magazine, Sports Illustrated Women (SIW),
formed to compete and capitalize on that new market. Although not the first women’s sports magazine, SIW was the
first women’s sports title to be published by a major publishing company, Time, Inc. Published from 1999 to 2002,
this is the history of that magazine. By conducting interviews with some of the magazine’s prominent editors, writers,
and business managers and by analyzing the magazine’s content, this study details the rise and fall of Sports
Illustrated Women (SIW).

7340. Mediated Narratives of Difference and Norms
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This study focuses on Chinese online cross-cultural fandom of Western media and celebrities. By presenting a critical
analysis of Chinese fans’ lesbian reading activities in this type of fandom, I exemplify cross-cultural fandom’s great
potentials in expressing oppressed sexual desires and marginalized cultural interests. Based upon Fiske’s concept of
popular cultural capital, I argue that, although cross-cultural fandom provides Chinese fans whose identities, desires,
and interests are constantly marginalized in mainstream society with viable online venues to voice alternative
expressions, fans’ cultural involvements in virtual environment are still deeply interwoven with Chinese official
culture, social norms, and dominant ideologies in reality.

This research investigates entry modes of Taiwanese television firms into the Chinese market. By examining the
relationship between Taiwanese firms and Hunan Broadcasting System (HBS).The study involved a field trip,
undertaken between October 2010 and February 2011 to Hunan and Taiwan. This study has divided the relationship
between HBS and Taiwanese firms into two stages: Taiwanese Firms Leading Stage and From Cooperation to Custom
Production and Rebirth Stage. This paper also presents different kinds of entry modes for each stage.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Scientific knowledge in the area of journalism has been predominantly a reflection of research on journalists from
elite publications rather than journalists from smaller publications. More needs to be understood about this group of
journalists. This research seeks to create a foundation for future research through a web survey of online community
journalists in the United States. Their perceptions and publication reflect some organizational traits such as a reliance
on routine sources, income derived from publication, and employees. This research also found that most online
community journalists had a degree, but not a degree in journalism and mass communication. Suggestions are put
forth to increase levels of research precision on smaller publication journalists.
A Test of Two Metaphors for the Inoculation Process in the Context of Vaccinations, Norman C. H. Wong, U of

Presented at the following event:

7452-12. Health Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study examined two metaphors for the inoculation process in conferring resistance to persuasion, the “umbrella
of protection” effect and the “diffusion of protection” effect. A three-phase experiment involving 212 participants was
conducted. Results indicated that inoculation treatments for protecting positive generalized attitudes toward
vaccinations were effective at also protecting positive attitudes toward the HPV vaccine from counter-attitudinal
attacks finding support of an “umbrella of protection” effect. Conversely, the results did not find support for the
“diffusion of protection” effect in that inoculation treatment for protecting HPV vaccine attitudes did not confer
resistance to attacks on generalized attitudes about vaccinations. In addition to traditional inoculation outcomes,
inoculation treatments also had an impact on more nuanced outcomes.

6236. Materialities of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper examines the scholarship on agency in the appropriation of information and communication technologies
in communication and media research and science and technology studies. It discusses how scholars in these and some
neighboring fields have studied issues of materiality and matters of content in the use of media technologies. The
analysis suggests that, despite its many contributions, work in these fields has been limited by the inability to depict
the ways in which materiality and content intersect in technology use and why that matters for making sense of agency
dynamics. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper articulates a “texto-material” perspective that combines an
analysis of users’ content creation and interpretation practices with an assessment of how they appropriate and shape
artifacts. Building on the relatively small body of work that has explored the intersections of these two dimensions, we
propose a programmatic research agenda that begins operationalizing this perspective by fostering an examination of
media technologies as texto-material assemblages.
A Theoretical Claim for Journalism's Autonomy, Maria Luengo, Carlos III U of Madrid

Presented at the following event:

8127. Theoretical Perspectives on Journalistic Autonomy and Power
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

To what extent is journalism autonomous from political, economic, social and other spheres of power in society? It is
widely accepted in journalism studies that many interests — professional, political, economic, social, etc — constrain
journalists so as to frustrate non-partisan, non-ideological reporting. While such partisan or ideological interests
inevitably inform journalists, from a cultural-sociology perspective journalistic narratives express all civil societies’
common culture, an embedded symbolic code of values, motives, relationships and institutions. To this extent, any
journalistic narrative can be interpreted as indicative of cultural values that transcend — are autonomous of but
reflected in — particular groups, sections or parties. This paper proposes a set of analytical categories applied in a
case study of the Madrid bombing to illuminate journalism’s universal-cultural dimensionality. These categories are
employed to highlight the relationship between ideological power spheres proper to a particular society and cultural
values common to all civil societies.
A Theoretical Model for the Wikileaks Phenomenon (Top Paper, Also Featured in Virtual Conference), Rebeca
Agneta Pop, U of Oklahoma

Presented at the following event:

7337. WikiLeaks, ICTs, and the Shifting Global Public Sphere
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Wikileaks was launched in 2006 and has quickly become a controversial non-profit media organization aiming to leak
information from censored documents by using anonymous sources. Subsequently, Wikileaks developed partnerships
with international media outlets such as New York Times, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel, so that the leaks would be
republished. This phenomenon raises questions concerning the credibility of the source and the double gatekeeping
process. Wikileaks represents the first gatekeeper and the media publications named above are the second gatekeeper.
The existing theoretical body of knowledge and its concepts (Westley & MacLean, 1957; Shoemaker & Reese, 1996)
are unable to explain the Wikileaks phenomenon. Merging credibility theory and its various concepts (Gass & Seiter,
1999; Perloff, 1993; Whitehead, 1968) with Westley-MacLean’s (1957) model and Shoemaker and Reese’s (1996)
levels of influence, this paper creates a stronger, redefined theoretical model for gatekeeping.
A Theory of Planned Behavior Examination of Parent/Adolescent Drug Prevention: The Role that Attitudes,
Subjective Norms, and Perceived Control Play in Whether Parents Engage in Drug Preventative Practices, Julie
Delaney Shields, U of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

Presented at the following event:

7130. Information Processing, Message Strategies, and Media Effects: From Health Promotion to Public Policy
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study uses the theory of planned behavior to examine why some parents do not engage in drug preventative
behaviors. The hypotheses predict that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control will be positively associated
with parents’ intention to perform two drug preventative behaviors (talking and monitoring), and that perceived
control will moderate the relationship between attitude and intention and between subjective norms and intention.
Results of the first model showed significant main effects for attitudes and subjective norms. The main effect of
perceived control and the interactions were not significant. The main effects of attitudes, subjective norms, and
perceived control were significant for the second model. The results also showed that perceived control moderated the
attitude-intention relationship.

7351. Use of Individualism-Collectivism Dimension
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Individualism-collectivism (IC) has been established as one of the central dimensions of cross-cultural research;
however, there is only little evidence whether this dimension can be detected from nonverbal behavior (NVB). Using
a novel computer-animation methodology, we investigated the influence of NVB and cultural stereotypes on the
ascription of individualistic or collectivistic values to actors from different cultures described as distinct on the IC-
dimension: United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Germany. Animated computer characters were used to mask out clues of
the nationality of actors while displaying their real movement behavior. The results show cultural specificities in the
combined processing of NVB and stereotype activation. Whereas Arabs based their collectivism ratings solely on
NVB, Germans showed a strong susceptibility to stereotype activation. In addition, Arabs were able to discern
collectivism from NVB. As opposed to collectivism, individualism was not discernible from NVB by either Germans
or Arabs.
A Typology of Communication Strategies for Soliciting Social Support in Weight-Loss Attempts Among Obese and
Overweight Young Adults, Meara H. Faw, U of Washington

Presented at the following event:

6329. Communicating Social Support: From Micro Interactions to Communication in Communities
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Obesity and being overweight are significant problems in the United States, affecting more than 60% of American
adults and resulting in serious health problems. Despite a growing awareness of the dangers associated with being
obese and overweight, many Americans struggle to lose weight. Through numerous research studies, investigators
have identified social support as a key element in weight loss attempts. Unfortunately, little has been done to
investigate how people solicit social support successfully from members of their social network without a structured
research intervention. This exploratory study addressed this limitation by developing a typology of strategies used by
overweight and obese young adults to solicit support from network members for their weight loss attempts and to limit
network members’ attempts at nonsupport.
A Validity Assessment of the Superdiffuser Measures, Christopher John Carpenter, Western Illinois U; Michael R.

Presented at the following event:

7129. Complementary and Contradictory Patterns in Health Information Seeking
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This set of two studies tests the predictive validity of the superdiffuser measures. The superdiffuser measures are a set
of three, self-report measures designed to quickly and efficiently identify influentials within a social network by
assessing the extent to which the respondent is a well connected, persuasive, content domain expert. The extant
research has not assessed the predictive validity of the connector and health mavenness measures. The two studies
presented here address these two limitations. Study 1 established that the connector scale predicted knowing many
people and that the healthy lifestyles mavenness measure predicted health knowledge. Study 2 found that healthy
lifestyles mavens report many people coming to them for health information, are rated as more knowledgeable about
health topics by their co-workers, and report communicating frequently with their co-workers. These studies are
consistent with the predictive validity of the connector and healthy lifestyles mavenness measures.

8123. New Information and Communication Technologies and Old Organizational Challenges
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

American parties today maintain voter files with data on most of the population. While this information is of immense
instrumental value, it has been hard to consolidate in shared repositories—as illustrated by the ten year gap between
the creation of the VoterVault that Republicans have maintained since 1995 and the Democratic Party databases that
only really caught up after 2005. In this paper, I use interview data to analyze two protracted attempts to consolidate
information infrastructures in the Democratic Party and scrutinize the political, procedural, and technological
obstacles involved. I identify the challenges that accompany the adoption of new ICTs in old political organizations
and challenge the dominant political science conceptualization of parties as efficiently “in service” to candidates by
showing how the multiple and sometimes conflicting interests at play between different organizations and individuals
within a party complicate the adoption even of the most clearly effective new tools.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This work extends the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) to the study of political communication. In particular, the
project focuses on the role of ability relative to contact with a variety of political entertainment media messages, on
cognitive elaborations. The study examines these political entertainment processes and effects. The study was a 2
(ability: low, high) x 2 (media stimuli: The Daily Show, Anderson Cooper 360o) between-subjects design that
examined individual-level cognitive elaboration and attitudes about the AIG executive bonus scandal involving
government bailout funds. Results replicated traditional ELM findings. Ability had direct effects on individual-level
elaboration. The main effects of ability were also found for issue-relevant and positively valenced thoughts. Messages
directly influenced individual-level elaborations including total and issue-relevant thoughts. Results are interpreted
and a discussion relevant to the findings is offered.

Processes, L.Crystal Jiang, City University of Hong Kong; Jeff Hancock, Cornell U

Presented at the following event:

5323. Intimacy & Emotional Supports in Social Network Sites
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Many people assume that it is challenging to maintain the intimacy of a long-distance relationship. However, recent
research suggests that long-distance romantic relationships are equally or even more intimate and satisfied than their
geographically close counterparts. The present diary study tested an intimacy enhancement mechanism in which long-
distance couples engage in more adaptive self-disclosures and form more idealized relationship perceptions than do
geographically close couples in the pursuit of intimacy across various interpersonal media. The results demonstrate
the effects of behavioral adaptation and perceptual idealization, and suggest that the two effects vary along the media
dimensions of cue multiplicity, synchronicity and mobility.

In April 2009 the European Court of Human Rights issued a landmark ruling on the right of access to government

violated the right to freedom of expression guaranteed in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms. This is the latest trend guaranteeing access to information as a human right.
Accounting for the Inexpressible: Routine Accounts Employed in Verbal Reports of Inexpressible Experience (LSI
Top Student Paper), Brion van Over, U of Massachusetts

Presented at the following event:

6321. Ethnographic Studies of Cultural Communication Practices in Language and Social Interaction
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This work analyzes accounts for apophy employed in verbal reports of inexpressible experience. The analysis
identifies 5 dimensions routinely employed in the account, including: 1) embodiment 2) compartmentalization, 3)
familiarity, 4) intensity, and 5) scope. Each dimension is invoked as culturally legitimate grounds for wordlessness
and presumes and enacts a set of cultural premises about the configuration of the person, their relationship to others,
the abilities and uses of words, and the role of emotion in experience and expression. The analysis concludes that
verbal reports of inexpressible experience are a deeply cultural and situated accomplishment, despite the seemingly
universal experience of the inexpressible.

Presented at the following event:

7638. Copyright, Patents, and Piracy
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

We conducted a qualitative content analysis of YouTube user reaction videos responding to allegations of copyright
infringement. Using keyword searches, 45 videos were identified and coded based on infringement justifications in the
responses. Our study focused on the defenses cited by users, as well as how those defenses fit into existing legal and
ethical frameworks. Data suggests users lack knowledge of copyright law and the DMCA. Common misconceptions
among the sample include crediting the source was sufficient to avoid infringement and any non-commercial use was
protected under fair use. The rights of the YouTube users may, in some cases, be overshadowed by the desire to
protect copyright. Future research should focus on in-depth analysis of YouTube users’ decisions to include copyright
protected material in videos, the number of videos reinstated following users filing counter notices, and the impact of
YouTube’s handling of copyright complaints on users’ freedom of expression.

6532. Media Literacy (High Density Session)
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Pro-tobacco messages in media play an important role in youth smoking, but can be addressed in health promotion
media literacy interventions. The goal of this focus group study was to observe youth’s (age range 9-14) media
literacy acquisition process through a tobacco media literacy theoretical framework. The researchers implemented a
week-long anti-smoking media literacy curriculum followed by focus groups that were transcribed and analyzed using
the ethnographic summary technique. Analyses showed that responses were categorized into authors/audiences,
messages/meaning/ and representation/reality dimensions but additional emergent themes were present, such as a
heightened interest in the production skills involved in media literacy. Furthermore, some aspects of certain
theoretical dimensions were absent from the focus group discussions. These findings have implications for the
development of age-appropriate media literacy interventions for health promotion and indicate that adolescents
engaged in media literacy interventions can spontaneously incorporate media literacy concepts into their discussions
during focus groups.

5234. Campaigns 2.0
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Little is known about how campaigns, movements, and advocacy groups act within the new “networked public
sphere” to create and shape public narratives. To analyze strategic action in the networked public sphere, this paper
analyzes the new media messaging practices of the 2008 Obama campaign. Through interviews with staffers,
volunteers, and vendors, this paper details the campaign’s goals for strategic messaging in the networked public
sphere, the interaction of actors within it, and the sociotechnical dynamics on new media sites and within ecosystems
that shaped what content received public attention. During the primaries, the campaign worked to influence discourse
and win audiences among the activists and bloggers within the progressive ‘netroots,’ For the general election, the
campaign ‘seeded’ new media outlets, circulating information to its network of allies and journalism sites in the hopes
of winning the day in terms of securing the narratives, audiences, and legitimacy of professional journalists.
Active Participants and Lurkers in Health-Based SNSs for Smoking Cessation: Factors That Influence Participation
and Smoking Cessation Self-Efficacy, Joe Phua, U of Georgia

Presented at the following event:

5124. Health & Technology
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Previous research has demonstrated that participation in health-based SNSs can result in positive health benefits. For
smokers looking to quitting smoking, self-efficacy is also an important predictor of smoking cessation and subsequent
abstinence, with health-based SNSs being particularly useful for this purpose. This study (N-208) examines health-
based SNSs for smoking cessation, hypothesizing that active participants on the sites and lurkers would differ
significantly on four dimensions of intimacy (Parks & Floyd, 1996; Rau, Gao & Ding, 2008), social identification
(Tajfel & Turner, 1986), and smoking cessation self-efficacy. Social identification on the site would also mediate the
effect of intimacy levels on participation. The study also proposed a structural model specifying the mediating effect
of social identification on the relationship between intimacy levels and participation, which was tested and supported.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Increasingly, we are seeing many trendy ‘new’ media courses popping up at universities that feature what people are
doing with and through the Internet, especially with ‘social media’, most of which is simply a new, albeit exciting,
form of problematic corporate media. In contrast, others are teaching courses that shine an important light in the
reverse direction, focusing less on the exciting array of instrumental uses of the Internet and more on the infrastructure
of the Internet itself and the politics involved in governing the resources upon which the Internet depends. This
presentation features early findings from research on teaching Internet Governance (IG) to upper division
undergraduate students at a major international university based in North America. It argues for deeper discussion
among scholars about what we are teaching about the Internet, especially to this generation and those following with
so much at stake in the outcomes of IG policymaking.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In-game advertising (IGA) has developed into one of the fastest growing forms of advertising. The current study
contributes to the research on the effectiveness of this advertising medium, by focusing on the impact of two player
experiences that are essential in a digital gaming context: immersion, and its prerequisite of player involvement. The
effect of these player experiences on IGA effectiveness will be examined by means of a between-subjects
experimental study. Participants will have to play a modified Fallout: New Vegas (Bethesda Softworks, 2010) game
level containing several in-game ads. We will manipulate the narrative of the game levels, which is expected to lead to
variations in both involvement and immersion. The experiment is scheduled for December 2011, which means the first
results will be available at the time of the conference.
Addressing Cultural Competence From Both Sides of the Patient-Provider Relationship: The Importance of Patient
Health Care Cultural Literacy, Susana Peinado, U of California, - Santa Barbara

Presented at the following event:

8229. Provider-Patient Communication: Relational, Group, and Process-Based Approaches
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

An important potential contributor to health disparities is patient-provider communication and the patient-provider
relationship (AHRQ, 2009). A lack of cultural sensitivity and patient-centeredness has been found to account for
challenges in the relationship between patients and providers (Betancourt, Green, & Carillo, 2002). Provider training
in cultural competence and patient-centered communication may be a helpful way to reduce health care disparities that
result from ineffective patient-provider communication. However, in order to achieve truly effective communication,
cultural competence may also need to be approached from the patient side. Educating patients about the culture of
health care organizations in which providers function will likely contribute to creating more culturally competent
interactions on both sides, as well as more effective communication. This paper discusses the importance of health
care cultural literacy in improving the patient-provider communicative relationship.

This study examined second-level agenda setting effects of six news sources on public opinion about the health care
reform bill proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. The affective attributes (tone) of media
coverage were measured immediately and cumulatively. Results show coverage became increasingly negative when
measured cumulatively. A regression analysis also reveals that cumulative affective attribute salience, but not
immediate affective attribute salience, was a significant predictor of support in public opinion polls. Separate
regression analyses found these effects were greater for Republicans than those who identified with another political
party. The political implications and consequences for health care policy are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This paper examines the gratifications of mobile phone use for adolescents, how these gratifications relate to
adolescents use of the mobile phone for calling and text messaging, and whether we can differentiate between groups
of adolescents based on the gratifications they seek from mobile phone use. The results from a survey study among
584 Flemish adolescents reveal eight gratifications that have a similar ranking structure as adults’ mobile phone
gratifications: (1) micro-coordination, mobility and immediacy, (2) keeping in touch with family and friends, (3)
safety, (4) discussing school work, (5) expressing one’s love to someone, (6) passing time, (7) fashion/status, and (8)
avoiding face-to-face communication. Apart from safety and school work, each of these gratifications was
significantly and positively related to the frequency of text messaging, while no relationships were found for the
frequency of calling. Four groups of adolescents were differentiated based on their gratifications: mobile phone
devotees (N = 202), followers (N = 216), instrumental users (N = 142) and disinterested users (N = 24). The
theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
Adolescents’ Perceptions of Caregivers’ Safe-Sex Messages: Family Communication Patterns and Caregiver-Child
Persuasion, David Michael Keating, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

7651. Talk About Sex and Sexual Assault
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The research reported here examined adolescent children’s perceptions of caregivers’ (e.g., biological mothers, step-
fathers) safe-sex messages in the larger context of their families’ patterned communication. Predictions and research
questions about the relationship between family communication and sexual communication outcomes were based on
family communication patterns (FCP) theory. Participants were 13- to 18-year-olds that completed an online survey.
Results suggested that caregivers who value open communication are more likely to initiate safe-sex talks. Countering
prediction made, results indicated that (a) participants who received safe-sex messages from high-conversation,
compared to low-conversation, sources reported higher intentions to comply with caregivers’ safe-sex messages and
(b) participants with high-conversation, low-conformity message sources reported higher response efficacy scores
than participants with low-conversation, high-conformity) sources. Respondents’ reports of response efficacy and
attitude regarding caregivers’ messages predicted their intentions to comply. Message content was not associated with
differences in outcomes.
Adolescents’ School Performance and Their Use of the Mobile Phone as a Status Object: Conformity, Compensation,

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This study, carried out among 1397 Flemish high school pupils, examines whether adolescents’ experience of success
and failure in the school system is related to their use of the mobile phone as a status object. In line with Bourdieu’s
cultural capital theory, a conformity, compensation and resistance hypothesis are formulated. The results confirm the
conformity hypothesis: conform to the social image that the school system bestows on them, adolescents in academic
tracks were less likely to use the mobile phone as a status object. The compensation hypothesis was partially
confirmed: adolescents who lag behind in combination with a drop to a non-academic school track, and adolescents
with a negative academic self-concept were more likely to use the mobile phone as a status object, but no direct
relationship was found with lagging behind. The resistance hypothesis was fully supported: a negative attitude
towards school mediates the relationship between lagging behind, school track, academic self-concept and the use of
the mobile phone as a status object. Gender and age were found to moderate some of the relationships found.

Research and practice in external rhetoric often fall short of ideals both in terms of widespread use of a rhetorical
perspective and in achieving dialogic conditions in the public sphere. For this panel, the authors consider potential
explanations for this shortfall, focusing on challenges that exist on a theoretical level within organizational rhetoric
scholarship and on a practical level as individuals and organizations interact.

6630. The Social Context of Health Communication: Current Trends and Future Directions
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study addressed two variables that have important influences on women’s attempts to improve weight-related
health behaviors: perceived stress and social support. We examined these variables within the over-arching framework
of the EPPM (Witte, 1992), with some modifications informed by both tend-and-befriend theory (Taylor et al., 2000),
as well as the neuroscience of sex differences in the way stress levels affect cognitive and emotional processing. The
challenge of motivating people to meet their weight loss goals has become a major public health concern. In including
perceived stress as a consideration, the current work contributes to the growing health communication literature that
advocates for an increased reflection on the benefit of social support for weight loss. While social support may be part
of the solution for weight loss efforts, this hinges on an understanding of why perceived stress is part of the problem.

Presented at the following event:

5251. Interpersonal Conflict
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Individuals’ responses to conflict determine relationship quality and commitment (Sillars et al., 1982). These
responses can be viewed via conflict management strategies that help determine how a conflict is handled. The
purpose of the present study is to develop a hierarchical scale that captures the structural impact of strategies on
tactics. Results of a second order factor analysis in both Study 1 and Study 2 showed support for a tripartite strategy
model consisting of constructive, destructive, and avoidance types of conflict management behaviors. Findings were
consistent with two types of proposed effect. First, an antipathy effect occurred such that aggression diminished
integration. Second, a social bridging effect occurred such that aggression increased social distance, with social
distance increasing integration. Results, limitations and future directions are discussed.
Adverse Outcomes Associated With Media Exposure to Contradictory Nutrition Messages, Rebekah Nagler, Harvard
School of Public Health

Presented at the following event:

6129. Health Information Seeking: Integrating Theory, Method, and Application
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

There is increasing concern that the media present conflicting health information on topics including cancer screening
and nutrition, and scholars have speculated that exposure to this information leads to increased public confusion, less
trust in health recommendations, and less engagement in health behaviors. This study does not take issue with these
claims, but rather with the evidence base that supports them. Using data from the Annenberg National Health
Communication Survey, we find that exposure to conflicting information on the health benefits and risks of, for
example, wine, fish, and coffee consumption is associated with confusion about what foods are best to eat and the
belief that nutrition scientists keep changing their minds. There is evidence that these beliefs, in turn, may lead people
to doubt nutrition and health recommendations more generally—including those that are not rife with contradictory
information (e.g., fruit and vegetable consumption, exercise).

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Development theories routinely conceptualize poverty in rational, abstract, and cognitive terms which rarely engage
with the aspirations of the poor subjects, their personal journeys, their perceptions of the deprivation they suffer, and
the way in which other people’s actions and perceptions affect them. This paper will map the historical shift in the
depiction of poverty as inter-subjective, affective narratives in a series of popular films made in Bombay since
independence. In mapping this historical shift, the paper will discuss the way in which different “public(s)” are
imagined and addressed in these cinematic modes of representation of poverty
Affectively Caring Citizens: Care, Care Work, and Socially Responsible Media, Heidi Zimmerman, U of Minnesota

Presented at the following event:

6536. Media and Caring
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Recently, there has been a kind of “caring turn” in political discourse and a concomitant turn in popular culture.
Specifically, the notion of a “caring nation” circulates contemporaneously with an explosion of “socially responsible”
media aiming to produce caring investment. These media call upon individuals to affectively care about a given
“problem” while drawing upon and capitalizing on existing caring investment. I situate this turn in the context of the
“care gap” written about by Arlie Hochschild. I also place it in conversation with Sara Ahmed’s work on affect and
other feminist work on care and emotional labor. I argue this turn represents an intensification of previous calls for
citizens to fill the care gap left by withdrawal of the state from social services through volunteerism. At present,
individuals are not only called upon to do the work of this care, but also to feel deep affective investment in this work.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

In a wide range of political contexts — from the protests in Tahrir Square to the occupation in Wall Street — online
social media appear to be useful tools for mass mobilization purposes. However, without the sustained involvement
of civil society groups, not only does the one-off protest event risk being reduced to a memory of a short-lived utopian
fantasy but the possibilities for building an effective movement and articulating alternatives may never come to
fruition. Drawing on interviews with members of the World Development Movement and analysis of their uses of
Facebook, this article demonstrates the ways in which online social media also function as spaces of memory that play
an important role in keeping activists motivated in processes of articulating and planning the next step or the next
direct action event.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Grounded in first- and second-level agenda building, this study examined the role of political public relations in
building the news media agenda during the 2010 Florida Senate Election. Object salience was explored in terms of the
salience of issue and stakeholder groups in communication messages, and attribute salience was explored in terms of
issue frames and candidate attributes in multiple information subsidies and news content. Ten different types of public
relations messages (traditional and online/social media messages) were collected to study the agenda-building role of
political public relations. A total of 1,503 public relations messages and 709 state newspaper stories were analyzed.
The findings offered support of agenda-building for both object and attribute salience between candidate information
subsidies and news coverage. Some notable differences were observed across the different types of information
subsidies. The findings confirm the key role of public relations in agenda-building for object and attribute salience in
political campaigns.

Presented at the following event:

8134. Agenda-Building and Agenda-Setting
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Agenda setting processes and policy formulation regarding climate change has been a focus of continuous research
during the last years. However, little is known about how the issue is defined in developing nations that are highly
vulnerable to climate change effects. This paper presents a detailed narrative of the processes involved in the
formulation of several climate change related bills and the development of a special committee on climate change and
biodiversity in the current legislative period in the Peruvian Congress. We present a micro level analysis within a
broader agenda setting framework in order to understand how individual level decisions influence longer term periods
of stability and punctuations. Through an analysis of in-depth interviews with legislative elites, the study discusses the
role of policy entrepreneurs, the influence of limited or inaccurate information in the definition of climate change, and
the competition with other policy arenas.
Aggression Among Women is Calibrated by Physical Attractiveness, Grace Leigh Anderson, Samford U; Scott A.
Reid, U of California - Santa Barbara

Presented at the following event:

6151. Gender and Individual Differences
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The recalibration theory of anger predicts that relative differences in women’s physical attractiveness forecast their
proneness to anger. Attractive women are granted benefits, weigh their own welfare above others’, and consequently
communicate more anger during conflict. Existing evidence suggests that attractive women are more aggressive;
however, this evidence is correlational and measured in terms of global, not relative, differences in attractiveness and
in terms of self-reported aggression, not actual behavior. We experimentally tested the recalibration model on
aggressive behavior. One hundred and fifty heterosexual women were randomly assigned a condition in a between-
subjects factorial design: 3 (Relative physical attractiveness: less/similar/more than rival) x 2 (Provocation: low/high).
Outcomes include verbal and indirect aggression and proxy measures. Findings suggest women communicate
aggression based upon relative differences in attractiveness, not just global differences overall. Women need not be
very attractive or even provoked to communicate aggression towards rivals who are noticeably less attractive.

Besides social networking sites, business networking sites like LinkedIn, become more and more popular. Like SNS,
these websites allow us to strategically provide information we consider favorable for our professional self-

background of the ongoing debate about gender equality in the job market this abstract reports results of a quantitative
and qualitative content analysis of 200 BNS profiles, finding that self-presentations conform to gender role
expectations.

6138. Using New and Old Media to Create Social Change
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

When a popular non-profit online community for Korean immigrant housewives called MissyUSA was sold to a
Korean company and became a commercial organization it mobilized many of its members to discuss the meaning of
community as well as political issues of the digital economy including labor exploitation, content ownership, and
private information protection. To regain the community they lost from MissyUSA’s commercialization, the Korean
immigrant housewives created an alternative non-profit/non-commercial online community, Mizville. Through an
examination of the initial reactions of the Korean immigrant housewives at the time of the event this paper reveals
how the unique identity and experience of the housewife members allowed them to communicate and connect with
other members and to actively participate in building MissyUSA as an online community through voluntary “gift
exchanges.” In addition, this paper investigates the political (albeit limited) transformation of Korean immigrant
housewives in the process of resisting commercialization of MissyUSA and creating and maintaining Mizville as a
non-profit organization.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Online support groups are a convenient and effective medium to give and receive social support to buffer the negative
effects of caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease. This study analyzes the themes in postings found on three
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia caregiver online support groups. Caregivers described the need to regain control
over their emotions, understanding Alzheimer’s behaviors, seeking the best medical treatment, personal leisure and
activities, and family relationships. The online forums were sites for displaying updates and narratives of how
caregivers regained control. The most common themes that emerged from member posts were celebrating positive
relationships, managing challenging emotions, understanding Alzheimer’s behaviors, seeking the best medical
treatment, preserving the family member’s home, managing family relations, managing social dilemmas, self-care, and
acknowledging positive change. Posts on Alzheimer’s behavior and housing decisions were significantly positively
correlated with forum activity. Posts that contained messages celebrating positive changes were negatively correlated
with forum activity.

7623. How News and Politics Portray the Environment to the Public
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Most studies in communication focus on how media use leads people to hold positive (or negative) attitudes toward
important environmental policies. However, it is also important to examine how different media outlets that
predominantly present the audience with one side or multiple sides of most environmental issues affect the degree to
which people hold consistent or inconsistent (i.e., ambivalent) attitudes toward government policies aimed at solving
environmental problems, and how the structure of people’s attitudes affect a variety of outcome variables. This study
explores these important issues using survey data of people in the U.S. Specifically, this study examines how
ambivalence mediates the relationship between one- or two-sided programming on people’s strength of policy position
toward government policies aimed at reducing the impact of global climate change and plastic pollution on the
environment.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

In this paper I examine the whole of the American Girl universe—its dolls, doll accessories, website, books, history,
charity campaign, and stores. American Girl offers consumers the promise of freedom and uniqueness through the
purchase of products, through forms of play, and through branded interactive possibilities. At the same time, the brand
is a kind of training ground aimed at cultivating a particular ideal of a “universal” girl-citizenship. American Girl
manages the tension between its simultaneous emphases on particularity and universality by disavowing present-day
inequalities and hierarchies. It offers its products and media platforms to structure girls’ imaginative play and self-
realization in line with racialized, gendered, and (non)sexualized norms of citizenship, which can be enacted privately
in the realm of the home, consumer culture, and through acts of charity. Approximating such norms, American Girl
argues, promises inclusion in an imaginary present-day America characterized by racial and gender equality.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

South Korea has witnessed an explosion in television programs publicizing female power, however, a large number of
reports suggest the persistence of gender inequality in social contexts. This study explores Nambowon, one of the
most popular sketches in a live comedy series entitled Gag concert, as part of the Korean television programs that
portray the emerging discourse of postfeminism. Previous studies of gender and comedy have focused on textual
meanings, and relatively little work exists to explain the audience’s reception. We explore why audiences enjoy the
show, whether and why male and female react to the portrayal of gender differently, and how Confucius tradition in
Korea mediates the audience’s interpretation of the show. We suggest that the audience’s responses to the show
provide a better understanding of how the ideological force of gender relations functions in Korea. Moreover, the
study contributes to research on postfeminism and gender humor in comedy.

5320. Media Content and Public Perceptions of Real and Imagined Threats
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

There is a growing divide in how conservatives and liberals understand the issue of global warming. Existing research
suggests that conservative media use increases skepticism that global warming is happening, while mainstream media
use increases the likelihood that people will acknowledge the existence of climate change. However, researchers have
yet to identify and examine the underlying processes that may explain the relationship between media use and
perceptions of global warming. Using panel data, this study extends previous research by showing that trust in
scientists serves as a mediating variable between media use and perceptions of global warming. Results show that
there is a negative indirect effect of conservative media use on acceptance of global warming through people’s level
of trust in scientists. In addition, our findings show that there is a positive indirect effect of non-conservative media
use on people’s acceptance of global warming through their trust in scientists.

6327. Explaining Cross-National Differences in News: The Influence of State, Market, and Professionalism
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper explores the evolution of authorship and byline policies in French news reports, as compared to the
evolution in the Anglo-American press, on which studies have focused so far. The comprehension of journalists as
public figures endowed with a social role is partial without the exploration of the French case, which presents original
conceptions of both journalism and authorship. The literary roots of French journalism and its political and
controversial tradition favored a conception of the journalist as an original creator. This explains the early emergence
of bylines in comparison with the Anglo-American press. However, the political influence also accounts for the
instability of byline policies over time. Journalists were put under the surveillance of the successive political regimes
that often directly interfered in credit attribution. As a result, the French valuation of bylines is less monolithic than in
the Anglo-American press, where credit is perceived as professional reward.

This extended abstract presents an early history of the social media environment. Following the 2010 Chile
earthquake, Facebook users were asked: "Have you used the Facebook social network to search for an individual who
is missing after the 2010 Chile Earthquake?" Survey findings indicate that users self-report searching for missing
persons on Facebook following the 2010 Chile Earthquake. The theoretical implications of this finding--from an uses

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study empirically tests whether utilizing a narrative format might produce greater and longer lasting impact on
knowledge, attitudes and prevention behavior compared to a non-narrative format. To test this hypothesis, two short
films 11 minutes in length and both containing the same 18 facts regarding cervical cancer prevention, detection and
treatment were developed. The relative efficacy of these two films was tested by first surveying 1200 women (300
EA, 300 MA, 300 AA and 300 KA) to establish a pretest baseline level of cervical cancer-related knowledge, attitudes
and behavior, randomly assigning the same women to receive either the narrative or non-narrative film and then
resurveying them 2 weeks and then 6 months later. We will report on not only the main effect of narrative vs. non-
narrative on women’s cervical cancer-related knowledge, attitudes and behavior, but also how these are moderated by
factors such as identification with characters and transportation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), traditionally viewed as a childhood disorder, is under-recognized

in adults. Adults with AD/HD experience a myriad of relational difficulties, but little research explores problematic
communication behaviors that may contribute. The current study explored the dimensions of AD/HD (i.e., inattention
and hyperactivity-impulsivity) in conjunction with verbal aggressiveness and conflict management strategies.
Participants (N = 398; 60% male) completed questionnaires referencing a friendship (n = 129) or romantic
relationship (n = 237). Results indicated patterns of differences in self-reports (n = 198) versus partner-reports (n =
200), consistent with complications inherent in AD/HD. Additionally, results supported the presence of verbal
aggression and destructive conflict management associated with tendencies toward inattention and impulsivity in an
adult sample. These results confirmed that AD/HD characteristics are present in undiagnosed adults, providing
insight into potential contributors to the relational difficulties experienced with adult AD/HD.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This study expands on prior research on Communicatively-Restricted Organizational Stress (CROS), which includes
those stressors that individuals do not have a socially-supportive outlet inside or outside of their organizations. First,
by using a sample of 405 organizational members, we explore the prevalence of the CROS by identifying the
existence of the nature of this concept. After that, we explore the way that the CROS acts on an individual both
physiologically and pscyhologcally by evaluating its associations with organizational-level variables (stress, support,
and commitment) along with markers of stress (LDL and Total Cholesterol). Results were generally inconclusive.
Discussion focused on significant findings and the need for better operationalization of this stressor. Implications and
future directions explored the potential utility of this line of research.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

To respond to a recent call for a sociological turn to the promotion of institutional thought in communication research
and in PR research, we propose a novel theoretical framework based on institutional work for studying PR practice in
the Chinese cultural contexts. Specifically, we attempted to stay away from the functional approach of examining PR
outcomes, and focus on how institutional actors “navigate” the existing cultural contexts for institutionalising PR. We
used triangulate research methods based on 40 semi-structured interviews, participant observation and document
collections. We found that PR actors do not passively respond to institutional pressures, but rather creatively and
reflexively interpret and incorporate existing cultural aspects, especially guanxi and harmony, to construct and
transform their PR practices. These PR practices offer insights into why and how guanxi, as well as other cultural
factors, are integrated and legitimised in PR practice in China.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study examines what factors lead to the adoption of the mobile e-book in South Korea. For this purpose, this
research integrated the diffusion of innovation theory and technology acceptance model with the model of innovation
resistance and applied this integrated model to the context of mobile e-book adoption. An online survey was
administrated, and the data collected were analyzed with the structural equation model (SEM). Research results
showed that individual innovativeness has a significant influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. It
also revealed that both of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect not only intention to use but also the
innovation resistance. The innovation resistance has significant negative influence on the intention to use. Perceived
risk of mobile e-books increases innovation resistance in a positive way. The implications of these results are
discussed.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

The popularity of social network sites causes changes in online self-presentation. Increasing intercultural
communication makes culture an important factor of online self-presentation. Idealized image construction is
becoming difficult due to an abundance of information from others. This study examines how self-concept, gender,
culture, and network characteristics affect a range of self-presentation behaviors on SNS. Results from Singaporean
and American samples (N=322) show that individuals exhibiting higher levels of external contingencies of self-worth
and having a heterogeneous network are more likely to manage other-provided photos and text-based wall posts.
Network size and diverse interact to affect the number of photos shared. Americans update wall posts more frequently
and are more strategic to manage other-provided information, whereas Singaporeans share more photos. Females
share more photos and are more motivated to manage photo tagging. Implications for theoretical understanding and
practical suggestions about online self-presentation are also provided.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

A pragmatist approach to communication in organizations explores connections between beliefs, text, and action.
However, research often examines one outcome or antecedent while inferring effects in another. This presentation
suggests concern with the ordering properties of communication may offer a more comprehensive view of what
communication does in organizations. An ordering approach to communication research recognizes the material
affordances of communication, the interdependence of behaviors, and the recursive effect these constructs have on
organizational outcomes.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In this paper the relationship of leadership style, face-to-face and computer- mediated communication, and
organizational effectiveness have been analyzed among executives and managerial level employees from various
organizations in India. Leadership styles, face-to face and computer-mediated communication predicted significantly
the level of organizational effectiveness. The transformational and transactional leadership styles were positively
related to organizational effectiveness, whereas laissez-faire leadership style was negatively related. Computer-
mediated communication was positively related to organizational effectiveness. It was observed that transformational
and transactional leadership styles were positively correlated with face-to-face communication. It was further found
that computer-mediated communication mediated the relationship of leadership style and organizational effectiveness,
whereas face-to-face communication did not act as mediating variable amongst the relationship of leadership styles
and organizational effectiveness. The implications and limitations of the study have been discussed.

This study was conducted with clients of federally funded HIV-clinics within the state of New Mexico. It posited that
the social ecological model of public health is an essential framework for explaining medication adherence and self-
efficacy for PLWH. Three levels of the PLWH client experience were considered in this analysis; these are the
individual, interpersonal, and organizational levels. Analyses examined the strongest predictors of medication
adherence and self-efficacy. These were for medication adherence drug use and critical appraisal. While the strongest
predictors of medication efficacy were depression and isolation. Findings demonstrated the usefulness of the social
ecological framework for examining medication adherence and self-efficacy. Additionally, this study supported the
importance of examining the constructs of medication adherence and self-efficacy separately. Finally results and
provided direction for intervention and future research within the HIV-clinic setting.

This paper proposes an analytical model to describe social media’s multi-level functionality within a communication
environment. The model is applied to illustrate different ways in which stories traveled within the social media and
across different media in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake that took place on March 11, 2011. The
functionality of social media is explicated at micro-, meso- and macro-levels of communication. Based on the
proposed model, five functionalities of social media in the aftermath of the earthquake are illustrated: communicating
with others (micro-level), channels for local governments and local media (meso-level and cross media), channels for
mass media (macro-level, cross media), information gathering (cross-level), and direct channels between micro/meso-
and macro-levels. The implications and future applications of the analytical model are discussed.

Elderly people’s use of entertaining media is rarely in the focus of academic research. We are asking the question, in
how far psychological variables might explain the perceived ease of use of a computer game for elderly people.
Building upon research on the use and adoption of ICT we focused on three explanatory factors: generalized self-
efficacy, technophobia and perceived expertise with technology. N = 116 elderly users with little previous experience
of computer games used and evaluated a computer game simulation. Results indicate that for perceived ease of use
generalized self-efficacy had an indirect impact whereas moderate direct effects for technophobia and perceived
expertise were found. The more self-efficient elderly users feel, the higher their level of perceived expertise and the
higher their perceived ease of use of our simulation. This is paralleled by lower levels of technophobia leading to
higher levels of perceived ease of use. The importance of accounting for psychological variables for the adoption of
entertaining ICT is underlined.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

China’s national identity construction in Tibet is considered failed given the public riots in 2008. This study examined
its propaganda toward Tibet in the post-1989 period to discover possible problems in the national identity construction
over the Tibetan ethnicity. Step by step inquiries were conducted as follows: 1) identifying the patterns of the nation-
ethnicity frames in the propaganda; 2) examining whether the propaganda featured multiculturalism as claimed by
China; and 3) assessing if Tibetans were portrayed as in-group members. 3,534 news stories randomly sampled from
two mainstream newspapers in Tibet were content analyzed. Results show that during the post-1989 period, the image
of China as a nation kept depowering Tibetans in governance. The claimed multiculturalism appeared to be narrowly-
defined, limiting to economic development issues. In addition, in-group portrayals of Tibetans on the national level
were significantly different from those on the ethnic level. Implications of findings were discussed.

7236. Analyzing the Visual: Theory, Methods, and Practice of Visual Content Analysis
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Mixed-method designs in visual communication are a challenging approach. However, due to the multimodal nature
of most current visual communication formats, a combination of standardized (i.e., quantitative visual content
analysis) and non-standardized (i.e., iconography and iconology) methodological approaches is recommendable. The
paper will illustrate the difficulties and challenges, as well as the benefits of a thorough qualitative step of identifying
visual motifs, of categorizing these motifs by creating typologies, that lead to metadata which can in turn be tested in
standardized quantitative research designs – be that visual content analysis, visual framing analysis or other
standardized methods. However, the first step to define measurable visual variables in highly complex communication
contexts, is to inductively identify recurring visual patterns (from typical motifs to camera angle, from stylistic
elements to composition). The non-standardized method of corpus-based iconography-iconology is one way of
arriving at metadata categories. The intrinsic qualities (and limitations) of the iconographic method will be discussed
by using the example of visual war reporting and the development of a respective typology. The process from visual
motifs (concepts) to textual categories (metadata), and the final step of interpretation of both intended and attributed
meanings of visuals is guided by a mixed-method that sheds light on both, visual contents and visual contexts.

The paper proposes an anlysis method for animated texts in the media, regardless of technique or medium. As
explained in the paper, the ability to distinguish between an animated and non-animated text is an essencial ability for
the 21st-century media reader, as animation becomes a leading tool for blurring the difference between representation
and reality. This proposed analysis method is based on the examination of the distance between the animated specific
object and the non-specific object from the physical space it aims to represent. It draws its main elements from Scott
McCloud's seminal book "Understanding Comics", Charles Pierce's theory of signs, and the works of art scholars
Ernst Hans Gombrich and Erwin Panofsky combining these elements to introduce a research tool that can be used for
both historical examination of animation development and identification and ranking of animated components in the
multimedia world of the 21st Century.

Twitter has been the dominant communication medium for activists involved in the Occupy Wall Street protests
taking place worldwide. In this study the earliest Twitter messages regarding #OccupyWallStreet were subjected to
network analysis to answer these questions: who were the central actors on Twitter in run-up to the September 17,
2011 start of Occupy Wall Street? Is the structure of the network flat and decentralized (leaderless) or hierarchical?
How did the #OccupyWallStreet meme spread? What were the key points in the Twitter dialogue in the summer
which sent the meme viral? Lessons that can be drawn from this event are offered.

The present study attempts to investigate the possible impact and consequences of newspapers’ convergence with
social media by focusing on three aspects of journalism: journalistic routines, the quality of news, and the relationship
between journalists and their audiences. To answer the above research questions, the researcher conducted an online
survey of newspaper reporters in Seoul, South Korea. It was found that journalists were generally concerned about the
additional pressures resulting from their convergence-related responsibilities; that they have a divided opinion about
the convergence’s effects on the quality of news; and that they tend to anticipate that more intensive interactions with
audiences via social media would have positive effects on their reporting activities. In addition to that, journalists
working at newspaper companies which have convergence desks and/or divisions tend to perceive the consequences of
convergence with social media more positively than do journalists working in companies without such a structure.

Media overwhelmingly reflect the lives and interests of those in the majority, but marginalized people, as Chela
Sandoval argues, engineer ways to survive, to rethink life and experiences in response to their marginalization. This
engineering includes members seeking heroes or outstanding achievers with ‘universal’ respect within their group in
order to challenge their status or positioning as less than equal to those belonging to the majority groups. Icons present
an opportunity to combat the negative representations as they enable people to valorize their cultural identity. I
investigate representations of Cuban Celia Cruz and Haitian Wyclef Jean and their resistance to dominant discourses
about their respective groups, including blackness. This is done in relationship to experiences of Cubans and Haitians
whose narratives highlight the nuances of identity negotiation. I consider the potential impact of media representations
and individuals’ ability to resist mainstream understandings of minoritized groups and the limitations of iconicity.

6324. Negative Aspect of Information and Communication Technologies
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

In an effort to examine deviant social interaction conducted through communication technologies, the present study
examined a problem that has emerged with the widespread use of technologies that connect people: cyberbullying
perpetration. Using the skills deficiency model as the theoretical frame, this study examines several antecedents and
outcomes of cyberbullying perpetration. This study argues that argumentative competence, moderated by the Internet
self-efficacy, is related to one’s likelihood to engage in cyberbully perpetration. Further, it is argued that
cyberbullying perpetration affects relational turbulence and conflict management styles. Using path analysis, results
indicate we were somewhat successful in supporting the postulates of the skills deficiency model. In addition,
although cyberbullying perpetration affects relational turbulence, it did not have any effect on one’s conflict
management style. Implications for how these findings affect theory and future research are also discussed.

Despite well-known negative consequences of smoking, people still smoke. Using the theoretical concept of possible
selves, an anti-smoking intervention game is created in which individuals can see the image of their future-self
affected by the consequences of smoking. The experiment was a 2 (Future: Future face versus No Future face) x 2
(Self: Self-avatar versus Other-avatar) between-subjects design. In general, the game play successfully changed
perceived risk, attitude, knowledge and intention to quit smoking. Results suggest interesting avatar effects such that
participants who played with an avatar changing its physical appearance due to smoking (i.e., future images),
compared to who did not, showed significantly lower psychological involvement and identification with the avatars,
however illustrated significantly higher efficacy, more negative attitudes toward social smoking, and greater intention
to quit smoking. Potential application of avatars as the visualized possible selves in other health domains and its
implications are discussed.

This study tests a moderated-mediation model to explain the joint effects of consideration of future consequences
(CFC) and exposure to health messages containing an anticipated regret component on behavioral intention to
consume folic acid. In an online survey-experiment conducted during March of 2011, 245 women ages 18-35 were
randomized to one of three conditions (exposure to attitude-only message/ exposure to attitude-plus-anticipated-regret
message/ no message exposure) in a between subjects design. The results showed a positive joint effect of CFC and
exposure to an attitude-plus-anticipated-regret message on anticipated regret (B=0.96, SE=0.39, p<0.01). Among
women high in CFC, exposure to an attitude-plus-anticipated-regret message increased anticipated regret. Likewise,
another positive joint effect of CFC and anticipated regret on behavioral intention was observed (B=0.38, SE=0.15,
p<0.01). Anticipated regret was positively related to intention to consume folic acid among women high in CFC.
Implications are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Citizen apathy towards the European Union is of concern to both scholars and politicians. This paper explores the
relationships between news exposure and opinionation (an indicator of political interest) towards European
integration. Previous research finds political knowledge, efficacy and subjective political competence to be the
greatest predictors of opinionation. However, many citizens are low on these predictors at the European-level. This
paper uses hierarchical linear models based on Eurobarometer data to test if these predictors are moderated by news
exposure and explain how people with low knowledge, efficacy and subjective political competence come to form
opinions. The relationships differed by medium. Increased TV news exposure did not moderate any relationships with
opinionation, while newspaper readership was significant in most of the relationships tested. Country-level predictors
did not have a significant relationship with opinionation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The purpose of this research was three fold. First, we wanted to explore possible relationships between violence in
video games and expected enjoyment of those games. Second, we wanted to explore arousal, as measured by the
MAM, as one possible explanation for enjoyment of violent content and third, we wanted to explore ASA and DSA,
two forms of arousal response, as potential moderators for aggressive outcomes as a result of violent video game play.
Overall, we found that men and those who regularly play more violent video games expect to enjoy a violent video
game more than a similarly described nonviolent one. In addition, we found that those who scored higher on the ASA
also expect to enjoy video games described as violent more than those who score low on the ASA. Lastly, we found
some support for ASA as a moderator of the effects of violent video game play on aggression. Those higher in ASA
were more aggressive after playing a violent video game. Our findings suggest that the appetitive system plays a larger
role in video game choice and outcomes than the defensive system. Indeed, high ASA matters in terms of what video
game players enjoy as well as how it affects them.

This study applies the limited capacity model of motivated mediated message processing (LC4MP; Lang, 2006) to
online advertising. Our research interests are twofold. First, we seek to test the capability of the model to explain
information processing in a convergent media environment. Second, we want to deduce concrete results regarding
online advertising. An experimental study (N=150) was conducted to empirically test whether specific features of
online advertisements (location: focal vs. peripheral vs. focal + peripheral; animation: animated vs. static) function as
novel stimuli that trigger orienting responses (OR) and, thus, lead to increased attention for ads (measured via eye
tracking). Furthermore, we tested whether information storage and retrieval are influenced by the mentioned ad
characteristics. Our data suggest the applicability of the LC4MP to online advertising. Furthermore, the study showed
that eye tracking is apt to measure OR. Results are discussed both from a theoretical and a practical perspective.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This study applied regulatory focus theory (RFT, Higgins, 1997; 1998) to predict the effectiveness of environmental
advocacy messages. An experiment was conducted to examine how people’s chronic outcome focus orientations may
react with two motivation-related aspects of message-framing to influence message effectiveness, or “value from fit.”
Findings demonstrate participants’ chronic regulatory focus orientations interact with two different types of message-
framing emphases, whereby those priming utilitarian relevance, or emphasizing response efficacy provide a better fit
for negative outcome focused (NOF) individuals, whereas messages priming hedonic appeal, or emphasizing self-
efficacy provide a better fit for positive outcome focused (POF) individuals. The implications of these findings for the
effectiveness of environmental message appeals are discussed along with suggestions for future research utilizing
RFT.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Story appraisal theory proposes that stories represented in memory as story kernels are appraised for their implications
by assaying their plausibility, probative value and the degree to which they make a point. Story kernels satisfying
these conditions generate implications. Implications may be germane to the self, others or society and may prompt
cognitive, affective or behavioral effects. In two initial experiments, participants read news stories concerning crimes
and then listed the implications the stories had from themselves (Experiment 1) and themselves, others and the
campus (Experiment 2). In both experiments, plausibility and probative value were positively related to fear,
victimization risk and problem seriousness estimates. Implications concerning precautions and campus security were
inversely related to the same three outcomes, but little support was found for relationships between story kernel
appraisal dimensions and implications. Marked skewness in plausibility and pointedness distributions may account for
these latter outcomes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Stand-alone task-oriented sofware progrms designed for use on mobile devices, are commonly known as applications,
or apps for short, and they constitute a key component of 3G and 4G mobile technology. The variety of apps, ranging
from utility functions, such as maps, to news and games, make them a form of bona fide mass communication. The
question then, is why do users of mobile devices embrace apps? What gratifications are sought by app users? Using a
probability sample of 576 app users, this uses and gratifcations study found five gratifications of app use (e.g.,
constant availability, novelty, convenience, entertainment, instrumentality). Furthermore, the gratifications were found
to predict the general use of apps and use of specific apps. Specifically, the constant availability gratification of apps
turned out to be the best predictor of the number of days per week that users use apps.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper examines the Arab media coverage of the Arab uprisings of 2011. It analyzes more than 50 press articles
and opinion pieces from Arabic-language newspapers and online news sources from across the Arab world, which
were published between 15 January and 15 April 2011. The paper argues that in the initial coverage of the uprisings
Arab media nostalgically emphasized collective memories about past anti-colonial struggles and constructed a new
collective identity based on the notion of a young Arab generation. Both these themes underplayed the significant
differences between Arab countries’ histories and current political and economic contexts and collapsed them in the
unified journalistic narrative of the “Arab Spring Revolution.” The paper contends that this narrative flattened
temporal and spatial complexities and as a result contributed to how the protests spread across several Arab countries
in a remarkably short period of time.

From the "Arab Spring" to the Occupy movement in the US, social media (SM) like Twitter and Facebook seem to be
playing a significant role in the late social movements around the globe. These media are now the sources of
information for many individuals and especially for Mass Media (MM), which are changing their strategies of
communication to incorporate a social component. The streams of information flow rapidly from SM to MM, and
back again MM to SM re-feeding the loop. However, stories in SM do not usually reach the MM. This research
focuses on the relationship between Twitter and the coverage in newspaper´s front pages regarding recent social
movements: the Arab Spring (Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Argelia), the 15-M Movement, #SpanishRevolution (Spain) and
the Occupy movement (USA). These data visualizations are mapping the dialogic intersections of the hidden and the
public transcripts (Scott, 1990) and help to understand the spread of news in contemporary society.

This study addresses three questions pertinent to the debate concerning the secondary crime effects of adult businesses
in light of the criminological theory of hotspots and routine activities. 1) Are businesses that feature adult
entertainment hotspots for crime? 2) How do adult businesses compare with controls in regard to crime? 3) What
subclasses of adult business are most likely to be associated with crime? Criminal activity was measured using crime
incident data gathered in Milford and East Hartford Connecticut and Richmond Virginia. Results indicated that the
adult businesses tended to fall outside the heaviest concentrations of criminal activity. Compared to cabarets, adult
bookstores, overwhelmingly, were unassociated with crime in virtually every analysis in the study. Adult bookstores
were less related to crime than the on-site liquor-serving establishments. While adult cabarets were found to be
associated with ambient crime, crime was generally no greater than that at non-adult liquor-serving establishments.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Over the last few years, smart phones, equipped with both locative capabilities and social media features, have
increased in dominance in our mobile technical landscape. Given the rather recent development of infrastructure that
drives smartphone usage, we have rapidly developed a reliance on a host of applications to not only locate us
geographically but also to offer us the option of leveraging that location for some value-added end. Moreover, these
interactions are increasingly shifting in a social direction. While we may be moving through space as individuals, we
are sharing these movements with our distributed social network. I dub this behavior 'socio-locative broadcasting'—a
new genre of communication that marries the physical, virtual and the social. A particular genre of socio-locative
broadcasting is the 'check-in'—an activity popularized by mobile social media applications such as Foursquare and
Gowalla. In these applications, a user makes note of his or her physical location at a public landmark like a restaurant
and, in so doing, opens a fissure between the physical and the virtual. He or she can now see the other users co-located
in the same location at that time, and, quite often, avail themselves of a reward bestowed by the recognized business in
acknowledgement of the (publicized) visit. I suggest that the ‘check-in’ is not only a new type of socio-locative
practice--a highly gamified one--but is also a touchpoint for a new understanding of place. As the virtual and the
physical become more tightly coupled, places are developing into layered, hybrid constructions of material and virtual
elements that can be experienced in situ through a mediated lens or from afar from a social lens. I will develop this
idea of hybrid place/space in this paper by exploring a few of the following questions: What happens to our
understanding of place when we 'sync' with a location virtually and visit it physically? When we do so, how do we
begin to relate to the social network that co-inhabitats the place with us virtually? How do we interact with the group
of people that share physical proximity with us? In working through some of these nascent questions, I explore what it
means to be in a place in the age of ubiquitous mediated interaction and critically analyze the current trajectory of
using mediated communication tools as the basis for placemaking.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Increasingly, audience members engage in multiple media, moving from one medium to the next as they consume
entertainment. Using survey methods (N = 444), this research explores the underlying processes of mass media
migration by studying the uses and gratifications of migration behavior. Specifically, findings of this survey identify
migration motivations and predictors of migration activity. Results suggest that media migration has four key
motivations (the need for entertainment, escape, enlightenment, and additional content-specific exposure) and that
individual differences (such as loneliness), media preferences, and television viewing motivations predict mass media
migration. Theoretical contributions, practical implications, and areas of future research are discussed.
Arizona and the Making of a State of Exclusion, 1912-2012, Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante, U of Arizona

Presented at the following event:

5233. Extended Session: Battleground Arizona
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Using the concept of moral geography and through the lens and advantage of history, this paper explains how in 2010
Arizona became known as the “Show Me Your Papers State.” The law led many reporters to ask Governor Brewer,
“What does an illegal look like?” The governor responded that she didn’t know what an “illegal” looked like, and she
added that she was certain that there would be no racial profiling as a result of the law. As some legal scholars have
noted, the law in some cases might actually require racial profiling. The paper makes two fundamental arguments:
First, the white hegemony that emerged in Arizona created and implemented strategies to exclude certain ethnic
groups (including Mexicans and well as indigenous Arizonans) from social, political, economic, and cultural power
from before statehood to the present day. Although all people of color have suffered as a result of these strategies, the
author concentrate’s on the largest ethnic minority in present-day Arizona, Latinos, who make up one-third of the
state’s population. At the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Latinos were mostly Mexican, with nine
out of ten Latinos in Arizona being either Mexican born or Mexican American. This ethnic group appeared to be the
target of the latest round of exclusionary policies supported by a majority of conservative Whites in state elected
office. Second, news media in Arizona, perhaps to a greater extent than in other states, from nineteenth century
newspapers to twenty-first century bloggers, have played an important role in fomenting the efforts of those who have
wielded political and economic power.

Earth
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

2012 marks the fiftieth anniversary of JFK’s famous “moon speech” at Rice University, which is famed for its
challenge to put humans on the moon and “measure the best of our energies and skills.” Overlooked is his claim that
the “new knowledge of our universe” would help bring “peace” and “progress” for “all people.” Since 1962, artists
and scientists using media technology have been visualizing the “new knowledge of our universe” — a cosmos of
staggering scale in space and time. Efforts include Powers of Ten (Charles and Ray Eames, 1968), Earthrise (Apollo
8, 1968), Whole Earth, (Apollo 17, 1972), Pale Blue Dot (NASA, 1990), Cosmic Voyage (Bailey Silleck, 1997), and
The Known Universe (American Museum of Natural History, 2009). Earthrise inspired the founding of Earth Day
and, in combination with Whole Earth, led to the Gaia hypothesis and a rebooting of the global ecological
consciousness. In contrast, films such as Powers of Ten and The Known Universe have had little impact on the global
community or global consciousness. Why? This multimedia presentation will explore this question and its relevance
for our ability to imagine an optimistic human destiny on Spaceship Earth.
Artists As Entrepreneurs, Fans As Workers, Jeremy Wade Morris, U of Ottawa

Presented at the following event:

6640. Media Production Communities and Creative Work
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper uses the increasing integration of social media into music making and marketing to reflect on the kinds of
work artists and their fans perform. While new technologies are routinely celebrated for making cultural production
more accessible, there is also more pressure on artists, as entrepreneurs, to produce and distribute their own work;
expertise they may neither have nor be interested in attaining. At the same time, fan communities are facing increasing
invocations to participate. Be it through overt calls to become co-creators, or through more passive participation (i.e.
the tracking of user habits and patterns), fans cannot really consume without working. Using a case study of British
musician Imogen Heap – drawn from press articles and data scrapes of Heap’s social media accounts – this paper
focuses on the nature of the production community that coheres as artists and fans negotiate their changing
occupational and creative roles during cultural production.

Context, Megan Sapnar Ankerson, University of Michigan

6640. Media Production Communities and Creative Work
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

By identifying shifts in the way web design communities have been historically imagined and reconfigured by
practitioners, this paper uses the concept of “community” to interrogate how industrial, economic, and technological
change relates to the ideologies and representational strategies that dominate web practices in different historical
contexts. Since commercial web industries emerged in 1994, production communities have played a key role in
formalizing and evolving shared work practices, aesthetic sensibilities, technical skill-sets, and professional identities.
Yet, web communities also continually negotiate crises and contestation that challenge established design
philosophies, devalue core skills, and highlight differing visions of the future. Drawing on trade press, interviews, and
production manuals, I analyze three moments that have notably reconfigured the web design community: the influx of
modern graphic design principles during the dot-com boom; the speculative frenzy surrounding e-commerce start-ups
in the late 90s; and the rise of “Web 2.0” after the dot-com collapse.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Exploratory qualitative interviews and focus groups were used to understand how Asian-American college students
make meaning of their family communication styles. The qualitative methods were used to understand Asian-
American parent-child communication, specifically, children’s unwillingness to communicate, and parents’ inability
to open up dialogues with their children, parents’ willingness to give advice and children’s unwillingness to seek
advice. The findings of the current study shows that while conformity oriented family communication patterns may
have emerged from language and cultural barriers, unwillingness to communicate to overcome conflicts have been
found to be the critical issue that influences how the children make meaning of their communication and their
communication behavior with their parents especially in terms of advice seeking behavior. The findings expand the
existing research on family communication patterns and explore how Asian American children make meaning of their
family communication.

Research has generally shown that video games can be effective at teaching and persuading individuals to engage in
certain behaviors and outcomes (e.g., Baranowski, Buday, Thompson, & Baranowski, 2008; Lee, Peng, & Park, 2009).
In order to better understand user experiences with exercise video games, this research examined the effects of
mediated exercise formats (exercise video game v. exercise video) on a number of different cognitive and affective
mechanisms, and users’ future behavioral intentions toward exercise or future use of a particular mediated exercise
format. Results indicated that playing an exergame was significantly related to feelings of increased performance
feedback, and that performance feedback was significantly related to both feelings of presence and competence. Both
presence and competence predicted enjoyment, and enjoyment was related to behavioral intentions for future use of an
exergame. This study provides an understanding of how specific technologies of exergames contribute to their
effectiveness.

This study examines associations among relationship satisfaction, self-enhancement, self-verification,

confirming/disconfirming communication, comforting skills, and ego support skills in the context of emerging adults’
friendships. Participants were 269 students recruited from introductory communication courses in the Southeastern
United States who completed a survey using an online survey format (i.e., Survey Monkey™). Participants reported
on a specific friendship and completed measures of friendship satisfaction, self-verification, and self enhancement as
well as measures in which they reported their friend’s confirming/disconfirming communication, comforting skills,
and ego support skills. Results indicate that friendship satisfaction is predicted by self-verification, self-enhancement,
confirming communication, and ego support skill. Self-verification was associated with confirming communication,
disconfirming communication, comforting skills, and ego support skills. Self-enhancement was associated with
confirming communication, disconfirming communication, and ego support skills.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Indigenous Australians living in remote areas have little access to the internet and make little use of it. This article
investigates the various dimensions of internet take-up in remote Indigenous communities in Australia and considers
the implications for broadband policy. It focuses specifically on the circumstances and experiences of three remote
Indigenous communities in central Australia. Residents in these communities provided significant insight into the
social, economic and cultural aspects of communications access and use. This evidence is used to examine the drivers
and barriers to home internet for remote Indigenous communities and to discuss a complex set of issues, including: the
dynamics of remote living, economic priorities, cultural engagement with technology, and the characteristics of
domestic life in remote Indigenous communities.

Ziyu Long, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

7341. The World at Work: National Culture and Organizational Communication
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Women’s discursive constructions of their careers, particularly in non-western context, rarely have been studied by
organizational communication scholars. This study explored the career discourses constructed by a unique community
— the working women in the Post80s generation (individuals born from 1980 to 1989) in contemporary urban China.
Based on the thematic analysis of fifteen interviews, these women were found to conceptualize their career
metaphorically as (a) sites that provide a sense of fulfillment, (b) work experiences based on wending (stable)
employment, (c) important representations of their mianzi (face), (d) networks of guanxi (relationships), and (e)
processes consisting of self-directed choices. These interpretations of career by the Post80s women workers were
embedded in societal Discourses of contemporary and traditional China and intertwined with each other in a way that
was complex, dynamic and sometimes paradoxical.

California

Presented at the following event:

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Prior research into romantic relationships indicates that communication behaviors in response to conflict are at once
both influenced by attachment styles, and themselves influence relational outcomes. This study proposed and
investigated a model positioning accommodation behaviors as adult attachment behaviors mediating the connection
between internal working models and love. Participants completed structured self-report measures of attachment,
accommodation, and love within romantic relationships. Results confirmed that secure attachment predicts an
increased rate of favorable responses to conflict, and lower usage of damaging ones; whereas, insecure attachment is
significantly positively correlated with enactment of fewer constructive and more destructive behaviors. Furthermore,
these accommodation strategies also function as predictors of enhanced or reduced feelings of love, especially for
Secure and Dismissive profiles. Theoretical and practical coherences provide a basis for framing relationship
maintenance strategies as attachment behaviors, while regression analyses support viewing these behaviors as
mediators rather than as independent variables.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

While C. Edwin Baker’s last three books are essential to a political economy of news media in the United States and
other capitalist democracies, at the core of those works is a theoretical shortcoming that undermines Baker’s own call
for social change. In contrast, a Marxist political economy of news media would include a theory of social change that
could inform political practice in a way that would be more likely to produce the change Baker advocates. Baker’s
political economy is ultimately an attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable: capitalist democracy.

7320. How We Choose: Factors Affecting Media Selection
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This paper investigates experimentally the effects of sensational content on viewing choices and satisfaction in
television consumption. Subjects can choose among three programs, and the verbal violence content of one program is
exogenously manipulated. A post-experimental questionnaire is used to assess subjects’ satisfaction with the programs
and the overall viewing experience. The results indicate that the presence of sensational contents causes subjects to
watch more of a given program, although they experience lower content-specific and overall satisfaction.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This study adopts a network analytic approach to understand media audiences in relation to media markets. Using
peoplemeter data in the Chinese and U.S. markets, we apply multi-level measures to compare audience fragmentation
patterns across television channels. Drawing on McQuail’s four–stage fragmentation models, we find the Chinese
television market exhibits the Core-Peripheral model where a few channels dominate the marketplace and the rest are
viewed by niche segments of the audience. In contrast, the U.S. market represents the Pluralism model with extremely
high levels of audience duplication across channels, suggesting overlapping patterns of exposure throughout the
market rather than isolated segments.

To test what confers celebrity, a celebrity was simulated and placed in the context of a celebrity entertainment
magazine. How often the simulated celebrity appeared was manipulated in high and low frequency conditions and
crossed with three different levels of status (N = 499). Analysis indicated that even the low frequency condition was
sufficient to establish celebrity. Participant sex interacted with status on ratings of celebrity charisma as measured by
the items excitement, talent, respect, and liking. Among women, status increased excitement and to a lesser extent
perceived talent. For women, obsession with celebrities increased all four charisma indicators. Among men, status
decreased the four charisma indicators, except at high frequency. For men, obsession with celebrities and need for
gossip increased all four charisma indicators. A causal model indicated that excitement triggered the charisma
sequence, increasing assessed talent, respect, and likeability of the simulated celebrity.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Our study is based on the idea that, while understanding presentations of stigmatized behaviors and conditions in the
media is an important task, the presentations are not the same as audience reactions. Challenge and stigma formats
may be appropriate in providing an account of how stigma are presented in the media, they may not tell us much about
how they are received. We identified 13 potentially stigmatized behaviors/conditions in four television program
episodes, classifying audience thought listings as belonging to either challenge or stigma formats. Results suggested
that the audience members were more likely to react in challenge formats, and that the genre was more important than
the stigmatized behavior or condition in determining how the audience member reacted. Results also indicate that
audience members who score high on personal distress dimension of empathy are more likely to react in challenge
formats.

Mobile devices equipped with social media applications allow crisis communicators the opportunity to create, curate,
and disseminate information to impacted stakeholders in a crisis. This information can be shared through visual
(photos and videos), textual (press releases and statements) or geolocation applications (updates and crowdsourcing
capabilities) to reduce levels of uncertainty among risk bearers. The rapid growth of these mobile communication
services has helped create a fusion of digital and real world crisis communication practices. This helps people to
mobilize together to feel like they have more control over the crisis as well as more connection to the community
(Shklovski, Burke, Kiesler, & Kraut, 2010) in real-time. However, some researchers and practitioners suggest that
these devices still raise some challenges and barriers in “sentinel events,” which are situations that involve immediate
attention due to risks of death, harm, and injury – physically and psychologically (Gomez & Bartolacci, 2011). Mobile
technologies integrated with social media applications continue to transform the crisis and risk communication
profession. Interest in understanding the role of emerging technologies for crisis and emergency responders continues
to increase (Palen et al., 2010). However, the present focus in the crisis community is to balance the knowledge and
narratives shared within the digital community and initiate a response that is localized, immediate, and socially
distributed across various social media sites (Palen et al., 2010). New specializations within crisis and risk
communication are increasing, such as crisis mashups and neogeographic practices (Liu & Palen, 2010), augmented
reality applications through mobile devices (Huang et al., 2007) and crisis informatics (Liu & Palen, 2010; Palen et
al., 2009). Liu and Palen (2010) stated that crisis informatics has emerged as a bridge specialization field within
disaster and emergency responders operating in crisis to investigate “socio-technical concerns and the ‘changing
information pathways’ of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and information and communication technology
(ICT) use in large-scale emergency response,” (p.3). Previous research has discussed the thorough analysis of the
social media opportunities and challenges for crisis communication professionals (Veil, Buehner, & Palenchar, 2011).
Mobile communication technologies have been incorporated into crisis communication practices in various natural
disasters and emergency situations such as wildfires (Sutton, Palen and Shklovski, 2008), terrorist attacks (Gordon,
2007), school shootings (Vieweg et al., 2008) and health related crises like H1N1 (Liu & Kim, 2011). However, there
needs to be an updated analysis of the previous literature to focus on the transformation of mobile technology and
social media to incorporate these new emerging specializations with crisis and risk communications profession. The
purpose of this research study is to further extend the crisis and risk literature within emerging mobile media and
technologies (Palenchar & Freberg, 2011) to include augmented reality applications (Huang et al., 2007), crisis
informatics (Palen et al., 2009), social games and crowdsourcing information, implementation of gamification
principles and quick response (QR) codes within crisis and risk communication practices. Key Words: risk

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper discusses Derek Jarman’s experiemental film Blue (1992), examining the disidentificatory strategies the
film employs to enact a complex, provocative, and tension-filled statement of life under HIV/AIDS. I examine the
film’s aural discursivity, most specifically its reliance on the construction of an aural performativity and the
displacement of the material, visible body from its mise-en-scene, in an effort to understand the tensions inherent in
the “gendered” performativity of sound. I consider how the text’s strategic efforts to disidentify with a particular
dominant discourse – the homophobic marginalization of the queer subject under HIV/AIDS – bind it to another,
dominant discourse: the masculinist performance of disembodied film sound. The result is a conflicted text, at once
combating and enacting processes of marginalization. This “double movement” of the gendered performativity of
sound in Blue is understood alongside the discursive silence with which feminists met the outbreak of HIV/AIDS,
roughly the period 1981-1988. Within the polyvalence of discourses we can understand the gendered cultural work of
Blue and the feminist silence around HIV/AIDS as related manifestations of a power that structured their discursive
movements to work against one other.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper examines the persuasive effects of images in the context of online peer-to-peer micro-finance. The
theoretical framework relates the content of micro-entrepreneurs’ loan-request images to lenders’ perceptions of the
borrower’s trustworthiness and need. Hypotheses posit the effects of three specific visual elements on prosocial
lending behavior: 1) genuine (Duchenne) smiles, 2) material status symbols, and 3) babies, children, and husbands.
Using new loan-request image data from 323 female micro-entrepreneurs on the Kiva.org website, results suggest
smiling behavior is not associated with funding speed. However, loan-request images that include a baby are
associated with significantly quicker funding, while those that include a man or an indication of relative material well-
being are associated with delays in the average funding speed.

Previous studies on agenda setting mostly contend that although the media cannot determine what audiences think,
they can certainly affect what audiences think about (Cohen, 1963). However, this paper argues that the agenda-
setting direction, either from the media to the public or from the public to the media, is reversible. This paper utilizes
two case studies of China to examine agenda setting from the public to the media from a democratic and political
perspective. Some contexts and related concepts are presented and clarified. At last, a discussion segment analyzes the
contribution of the public’s reactions to the media agenda, the challenge of a grassroots agenda, and the Internet
censorship in China.

Research has shown the negative consequences associated with children’s exposure to background television. Despite
this evidence, researchers do not have reliable estimates of the prevalence of background television in American
homes. This study sought to address this gap by providing the first nationally representative estimates of exposure.
American parents (N = 1454) were surveyed to determine the amount of background television that their children
(ages 8 months to 8 years) are exposed to as well as isolate demographic factors associated with this exposure. We
also investigated how certain home media practices are linked to exposure. Results indicate that the average American
child is exposed to 232.2 minutes of background television on a given day. Younger children and African American
children are exposed to more background television. Lastly, leaving the television on even when no one is viewing
and children’s bedroom television ownership are associated with increased background television exposure.

This paper defines – from a practitioner’s point of view – what is meant by “communicating strategically” in an
intergovernmental organization and addresses some of the internal and external challenges as related specifically to
the international and intercultural environment. The study assumes that communication is a useful if not key tool in
programmatic implementation and can be used as a management approach to reaching organizational goals. Often,
poor communication leads to poor results. When results are good, they are often poorly communicated to the relevant
stakeholders. The study suggests that the benefits of an internal SWOC analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and challenges) are minimized by the lack of an external stakeholder analysis. It furthermore argues that the
organization’s culture needs to be taken into account during the strategic planning process otherwise implementation
of the strategy will not be possible.

This paper is a visual content analysis of network news coverage about the Arizona immigration law, SB 1070. The
sample includes footage and transcripts from early 2010 through the end of the coverage in 2011. It examines the
visual vocabulary projected to nationwide audiences to describe the legislation in all its phases – from the initial
proposal to the post-legislation outcomes, including lawsuits, boycotts, protests, political fallout, and more.
Employing visual communication concepts with a focus on visual fidelity, the author examines how intramedia and
extramedia variables affected the visual portrayals. The networks’ choice and portrayals of sources are also assessed.

typography, deviant orthography and lexical borrowing – juxtaposed to perform a cute and glamorous "girly girl"
identity. The paper emerges from a larger ethnography of girls’ engagement with new media literacies in the Hebrew-
language blogosphere, contributing to the recently growing interest in multilingualism on the internet as well as
offering a compelling case study of the interplay between language, gender and CMC. The paper argues that linguistic
performances of girlhood were a powerful and also playful resource for (re)negotiating the girls' stereotype and re-
framing their social identities, but at the same time problematizes the discourse of language and identity in computer
mediated communication, when language also carries the burden of digital embodiment.

7133. Race in Popular Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Scholars maintain that music styles can influence how individuals evaluate others. A number of communication
studies have examined the influence of popular forms of music; however comparative study of Christian music genres,
which are clearly racially marked is lacking. Using social identity theory, the purpose of this study is to examine the
influence of gospel, a majority Black genre and CCM, a majority White genre in informing listeners’ racial attitudes.
In a previous study, we argued that though messages of faith emerged in both genres, thematic differences have
implications for listeners’ social position and identity negotiation. The present focus group study connects emergent
themes in the music with listeners’ relationship to the music. In addition, findings suggest that while in-group
members are generally more favorable toward their music than the out-group, privilege allows for Black listeners to be
more open toward White majority music while the opposite is not true.

8220. Sex in Media: Content and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Research on sexual music videos has paid little attention to the possibility that viewers can resist the sexual content of
music videos and has largely ignored the processes that may explain this resistance. The present study aimed to fill
these gaps in the literature. In an experiment with a one-factorial between-subjects design, 44 young women were
shown either a music video with sexual content or a music video with neutral content. Subsequently, their reactions to
the music video were assessed. Involvement in the sexual music video resulted in increased psychological discomfort,
which in turn elicited resistance in the form of negative thoughts and affect towards the music video. Our study
suggests that future research on the effects of sexual music videos should pay more attention to resistance processes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Research has demonstrated that corrections in printed newspapers build credibility (e.g. Nemeth and Sanders, 2009;
Shepard, 1998; LaRocque, 2005). While most newspapers do have a website, not all of the traditions and practices of
newspapers, such as corrections, have translated to this online platform. Cornish (2010), Ang and Nadarajan (1999)
and Maier (2009) call for a standard of practice in online corrections. This research provides an industry
recommendation as to how corrections should be handled online—where they should be located—based on a survey
of more than 100 senior editors (n = 107) at newspapers around the country. The dominant recommendation was that
corrections should be appended to the original article where the error occurred, which is a contrast to the tradition of
anchoring corrections in a printed product.

8231. The Role of Emotion in Media Selection and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The emotion of hope is associated with benefits for psychological and physical health; as such, efforts to evoke hope
are increasingly incorporated into health interventions. Although entertainment media provides a wealth emotionally
evocative content that can be utilized as a complement to traditional interventions, no investigations to date have
identified content that generates hope. This study tests the hope-evoking capacity of media depicting the underdog
narrative, or stories about characters facing unfavorable odds or advantaged opponents in their quest to achieve goals.
Two-hundred and forty-eight undergraduates participated in an experiment in which they were randomly assigned to
view video clips representing one of three types of media—underdog narrative, comedy, or nature scenes—or no-
video control. Results indicated that the underdog content generated hopefulness beyond that experienced by
participants in the other three conditions. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of health program
and persuasive message design.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Media convergence has led to a variety of new media formats, genres, and communication patterns, which can be
described as the result of a process of hybridization. Such a new hybrid form is the interactive information graphic
that combines elements of graphic design, illustration, photography, digital animation, film, data visualization and, of
course, journalism; particularly in online journalism the interactive information graphics become more and more
important for conveying information visually. In this paper, we investigate the interactive information graphic as a
hybrid form of visual storytelling through methods of content analysis, expert interviews, and grounded theory. Our
analysis of the state of the art in interactive information graphics yields new insights on the semiotic modes, the
structure, the genre, the production process, and the required media skills. The findings provide evidence for the need
of an interdisciplinary research methodology and approach to this specific field of visual communication studies.

Iberoamericana

Presented at the following event:

5233. Extended Session: Battleground Arizona
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Over the last two decades, Mexico has become one of the countries with the largest number of its population living
abroad – mainly in the US. Many factors are involved in this complex phenomenon; however, in Mexico the debate
about the topic outside academic and specialists’ circles has been usually far from reflecting its relevance. Besides
local media in the northern frontier of the country, national media seldom cover the topic and its coverage is usually
poor. In this work, we analyze the frames through which the issues of migration are represented in and by the national
media. We contend that a recurrent image in the national media represents the migrants both as heroes and victims, a
frame that has been dominant in the discourse of Mexican politicians and both governmental agencies and NGOs
alike. We show evidence of these discursive frames, first, by analyzing the coverage of migration issues on the
Mexican national press for one year in order to discuss the general features of the “migration discursive frames”. And
second, by presenting Mexican national news media coverage of two specific cases, the Arizona Senate Bill 1070 and,
more recently, the murder of 72 Latin American migrants in the state of Tamaulipas who were traveling to the US
border. Instead of analyzing and discussing in-depth the conditions, reasons and circumstances surrounding Mexican
emigration to the different regions, we try to prove, on the one hand, that Mexican national media resort to “politically
correct” frames for covering the issue. And on the other, that there is no room in these frames for discussing either
internal migration patterns, immigration to and through Mexico, or the (tacit or active) policy implications of these
demographic and economic processes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This study examines how one set of rights advocates engaged in transnational communication activism in order to
better understand the purposes, processes, opportunities and challenges involved. Specifically, the study focuses on
the production, distribution and use of a film and materials created by a network of transnational actors and designed
to spread stories about communication activism within and among rights advocates in the global South. The paper
draws on structured interviews with producers and users, a user survey, and an examination of primary and secondary
materials related to the project to describe the project’s aims, content, production, distribution, and use. The paper
utilizes Castell’s concepts of reprogramming (reordering cultural codes and values) and switching (connecting two or
more networks) to analyze the project’s attempt to generate power through networks. Finally the paper reflects on
how this particular confluence of actors viewed social movement communication and network building involving
digital ICTs.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

In recent years, a group of business reality show has dominated primetime television in China. The novelty of these
shows lies in its outspoken celebration and promotion of entrepreneurship and capitalistic ideology in a state where
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is still officially stated as the guiding ideology. By carrying out a textual analysis of the
show Win in China, supplemented by some audience interpretations, this article identified four discursive themes on
the textual level: the competition as a virtue, commodification, an appeal to universal human nature, and the agenda of
social and national development. Then this paper discussed the political implications of the show and argued that state
media plays a crucial role in the constitution of a neoliberal order in China today.

This study examined how disclosure of sponsored content influences persuasion knowledge and brand responses (i.e.,
brand memory and brand attitude). Moreover, we tested whether extending disclosure duration increases its effect. We
conducted an experiment (N = 116) in which we compared the effects of no disclosure compared to a three-second
and a six-second disclosure. Results showed that only a six-second disclosure activates both cognitive and attitudinal
persuasion knowledge. With respect to brand responses, we found that disclosure directly increased brand memory,
regardless of duration. In addition, a six-second disclosure indirectly resulted in less favorable brand attitudes through
lower rates of attitudinal persuasion knowledge. We therefore recommend extending the obligated duration of
disclosures.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Many of the dimensions of practice which are perceived to underpin quality and excellence in journalism
(professionalism, ethical awareness, reflection and reflexivity), and which both protect journalistic diversity and
independence, and contest State policies and market forces which undermine journalistic freedoms, are fostered
through learning. Increasingly over the past century, this learning has occurred in formal higher education contexts,
where former and current journalists comprise the overwhelming majority of journalism faculty. Critics have noted
that university journalism programs have failed to fully embrace models of liberal learning which would foster such
an orientation – what Reese and Cohen (2000) called ‘the professionalism of scholarship’ – in favour of a narrower
occupational concentration sponsored by the media industries. The evolution of new modes of journalism, based on
digital technologies, has amplified challenges to this hegemony posed by journalism scholars. How have journalist-
faculty responded? A survey of this population in Australia suggests that new attitudes to scholarship are emerging as
the profile of the contemporary journalist transforms.

7452-22. Philosophy of Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

There is wide agreement among media ethicists that professional persuaders—advertisers, public relations
practitioners, and social marketers—should strive for certain standards of ethical persuasion. One particularly rigorous
set of standards assumes that the content of professional persuasion should be truthful information, and that
persuaders should aim at the joint goals of mutual understanding and respect for persuadees’ autonomy. This paper
suggests that this rigorous model of ethical persuasion suffers from certain blind spots. To fill in those blind spots,
alternative ethical frameworks for professional persuasion need to acknowledge the following exceptions to the
rigorous model: disclosive communication, which aims to change how people see the world; directive persuasion,
which aims to change people’s actions rather than their beliefs; and renunciative situations, in which people want
relief from the burden of exercising their autonomy.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The rapid explosion of information technologies in recent years has contributed to a substantive change in the social
dimensions of information sharing, and is forcing us to revise substantially our old assumptions regarding the
knowledge/power dynamic. In this article, we discuss a range of strategic information-management options available
to individuals and institutions in the networked society, and contrast these “blueprints” to Foucault’s well-known
Panopticon model. We organize these observations and analyses within a new conceptual framework based on the
geometry of “information flux,” or the premise that the net flow of information between an individual and a network
is as relevant to power dynamics as the nature or volume of that information. Based on this geometrical model, we aim
to develop a lexicon for the design, description, and critique of socio-technical systems.

This paper looks at Bigg Boss (the Indian version of Big Brother) in order to shed light on the complicated
relationship between the forces of globalization, national and local cultural formations and the dictates of
commercially driven entertainment. In the first section of the paper I analyze format television to argue that its
aesthetic features as well as its mode of production and distribution grant a global dimension to this mode of televisual
entertainment. I then analyze the two main theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of global culture – cultural
imperialism and cultural globalization - and construct readings of Bigg Boss from each of these rival perspectives. I
argue that neither of these approaches succeed in exhausting the meaning of the show, and in conclusion I point to an
alternative way to conceive of the relationship between reality television and global form.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper presents a case study of Big Champagne, a popular media measurement company. A kind of Nielsen
ratings for the new media age, Big Champagne measures traffic to online retail outlets (e.g. iTunes), social networks
(e.g. Last.Fm), web portals (e.g. YouTube), streaming media sites (e.g. Pandora), and even unsanctioned file-sharing
networks. It charts the buzz about media products circulating in online venues and then sells those metrics back to
companies looking to access data on how audiences are consuming content. Blending literature on the political
economy of audiences with theories of promotional culture, this paper explores the evolution of Big Champagne from
a peer-to-peer spam company into a prominent provider of online metrics (especially for popular music). I focus
specifically on the ways Big Champagne tracks what’s “popular” in music and on how the circulation of digital media
files enables new means of building and commodifying hype. Jeremy Morris is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the
University of Ottawa. His research interests include the current state of the popular music industry and the digitization

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Recently, new approaches for explaining the “sad film paradox” have been presented which suggest that the
phenomenon might not be as paradox as assumed, since dramas do not only include sad aspects, but also feature
uplifting messages, meaningful moments and rather elicit “bittersweet” feelings. We conducted two studies in which
we analyzed the effects and gratifications recipients gain when watching bittersweet film clips. In an online
experiment (3x2 between subjects design, N = 111) varying the type of film clip (sad, bittersweet, funny) and gender
of the viewer we found that the emotions elicited by bittersweet clips do not differ from those elicited by negative
clips with regard to negative emotions but concerning positive emotions. An interaction of film clip and gender
indicates that women are more likely to feel positive emotions when viewing bittersweet clips and that this can partly
be explained by empathy. An additional fMRI study (N = 10 female participants) demonstrated that when watching
bittersweet film clips - in comparison to negative and positive clips – in both cases the same area in the left
orbitofrontal cortex is activated. These results indicate that the left orbitofrontal cortex integrates the bitter and the
sweet component beyond simple emotion processing.

This paper contributes to this panel on the value of Foucault's technologies of the self for studying Web 2.0 with an
analysis of a blog written by a man who describes himself as having been in and out of homelessness and addictions
over a long period of time. I use Foucault's ideas about governmentality and technologies of the self to suggest that the
blog is both a technology of the self through which power is exercised and a practice of freedom and a means to
ethical of care for the self. I propose a complex dialectic between domination and liberation as the writer transforms a
disciplinary practice through which power is exerted into a call for the construction of an ethical self through writing
regularly for his audience of readers and followers.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This presentation adopts Foucault’s concept of technologies of the self to understand blogging as a way of working on
the self both through practices of lifewriting and participation in specific communities of bloggers. Through the
analysis of data gathered in focus groups and interviews with a small group of Calgary-based bloggers, I explore how
these bloggers articulate their practices as ways of working on themselves. Then, drawing on theories of everyday
acting and subculture I consider how these technologies of the self might draw on socially produced ‘scripts’ for best
practice, shared among bloggers and new media users as subcultural groups or communities. Foucault made clear that
technologies of the self are always contextually located. Following this approach, my discussion aims to consider the
relationship between blogging as a social ‘scene’ and the practices of self my participants describe.

A discourse analysis of entertainment media popular with adolescents examined the meaning and experiences
communicated in conversations about work. Media has been identified as one of the five factors in adolescents’
career decision-making according to the anticipatory socialization-to-work process; however, little attention has been
paid to its influence. To begin to explore the relationship between career decision-making and media, we focused our
study on twenty five randomly chosen episodes in five situation comedies. Results of this grounded theory study
conceptualized a model consisting of three themes (work as fulfillment, work as relationship building, and work as
convenience). Together, our themes describe the meaning of the intersecting relationship between work life and
personal life. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

In an expanding social media environment with myriad information sources and emerging technologies, do the
mainstream media set the public agenda on Twitter? This study addresses the question by examining an outpouring of
postings on Twitter (tweets) following a discovery in a missing-person case. It uses retweeted messages and
hyperlinks within tweets as measures of source influence. The study finds support for three hypotheses, offering
evidence of an emerging shift away from mainstream news to alternative sources in setting the public agenda on
Twitter. The study also calls attention to interpersonal communication and the agenda-setting process on social
networks.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

In July 2009, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation aired an episode of the talk-show Bold Red Line titled “Sexual
Pleasure,” in which a Saudi man bragged about his sexual exploits. A wave of protest broke out in Saudi Arabia
clamoring for the punishment of the man who would heretofore be known as the “LBC sex braggart.” Saudi
authorities brought suit against the “sex braggart,” and prosecuted two Saudi women who worked for LBC. Drawing
on a rich corpus of primary, Arabic-language sources (119 articles from mostly Saudi newspapers), this paper uses the
BRL polemic and Lauren Berlant’s work on the “intimate public sphere” to analyze the articulation of media,
patriarchy and nationalism. We conclude that the controversy reflects how the redefinition of political-economic
issues in moral terms depends on an intentional re-articulation of the private-public nexus.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The incorporation of a wide range of emotional elements has been a central cultural practice of Hindi filmmakers over
the past 100 years. However, scholarship focusing on popular Hindi -- or Bollywood -- cinema has generally focused
on textual or theoretical analyses of exemplar films or trends. To date, no studies have measured physiological
reactions that accompany the presentation of positive and negative emotional content in Bollywood films. To address
this gap in the literature, we developed a novel research approach that utilized electroencephalograph (EEG) recording
technology to analyze the emotional responses of Hindi film viewers situated in a Western setting. We conclude by
addressing how the findings both challenge and support prior theoretical-qualitative research, shedding light on the
complexities of Bollywood cinema’s popularity within increasingly globalized consumption contexts.

Unlike their counterpart in the developed nations where Indians migrated of their own choice, and often hold white
collar jobs, people of Indian diaspora in Fiji form a varied group that almost replicates India in the range of jobs they
hold. Despite that similarity, old Indian diaspora remains missing from the content of Bollywood. This paper attempts
to explore various needs that media produced-in-India, (mainly Bollywood) play in the identity construction of Indo-
Fijians, a diaspora that is completely missing from the content it consumes.

Self-report measures have prevented social scientists from gaining an in-depth and accurate understanding of how
individuals use their mobile phones to bond and bridge with their personal networks. To address this issue we use data
collected using the Communication Explorer Android smartphone application on a panel survey of 233 adults living in
the United States.1 Our findings show that respondents typically used voice calls to bridge and text messages to bond,
heavy users bridge using their mobile phones more than light users, and media multiplexity occurs when respondents
bond closely with a small number of ties through both text messages and voice calls. Overall, these results show how
different media within the same mobile device are used for different bonding and bridging functions. They contradict
the common perception that heavy mobile phone users bond to small insular networks more than light users.

This paper explores three cases of information control in different locations, periods and technological environments
proposing a model for understanding the behavior of censorship and the underground counter-culture accompanying
it. Examining the book smuggling in medieval Europe, the video bootlegging in 1980s’ Communist countries, and

Likewise, resistance movements challenging censorship function similarly regardless of place, time or the

Puerto Ricans in Chicago are one of largest segments within the Puerto Rican diaspora, yet there are few
representations of Puerto Rican Chicago in cinema. This paper explores two contemporary feature films, Chicago
Boricua (2004) and Nothing Like the Holidays (2008), that foreground the Puerto Rican diasporic experience in
Chicago. It asks: how is the Puerto Rican diaspora represented in Chicago in these two films? In particular, how are
race, gender, class, and nation depicted in these films? Lastly, how do Puerto Rican audiences in Chicago make sense
of these images? Drawing from a textual analysis of both films and ethnographic data with Puerto Ricans in Chicago,
this paper argues that while these films may be problematic in their depictions of “authentic Puerto Ricanness,” they
nonetheless hold the burden of representation for Puerto Rican Chicago in which audiences both celebrate and
distance themselves from these films.

Commercial video game studios erect boundaries through the organization of work that tends to discourage the
production of a diverse range of games. This paper adds to the scholarship on the production of video games by
examining gender and other boundaries in the way work is organized at a U.S. commercial studio. Video games are a
result of social conditions in a distinct organizational culture. Changing these conditions to allow for gender and other
types of diverse organizational structures can impact the role of video games for the broader culture. The organization
of work was analyzed through teamwork and the physical layout of the office space in relation to external customer
relations and internal departmental organization. Additionally, the article examines how gender is engaged within
these organizational dynamics. These factors contribute to an environment that enables game employees with a certain
disposition to affectively invest in boundary maintenance.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT FOR SPECIAL CALL ON INNOVATING IN JOURNALISM STUDIES Title Boundaries
of Journalism: Approaching Metajournalistic Discourse in the Age of Convergence Abstract The study of boundaries
has been a mainstay in science and technology studies and the sociology of the professions, but it has been too rarely
applied within journalism studies. Although a casual use of boundaries persists, few studies have pulled from these
other areas to systematically analyze how journalists engage in boundary work—the rhetorical construction of
symbolic boundaries demarcating the space of a social entity. I contend that the greater adoption of the boundary work
perspective within journalism studies would help us better comprehend journalism’s social and cultural place in a
world of changing media. What makes this approach innovative is how it brings attention to the understudied terrain
of metajournalistic discourse—how journalists talk about journalism. Most of the attention to journalists’ voices
comes either from surveys or ethnographic research. Although not dismissing these areas of inquiry, we need to attend
to the many ways in which journalists use their access to the public to speak about journalism. Through media
coverage, commentary, obituaries, anniversary coverage, awards, and other forms journalists regularly speak about
journalism. Through this discourse, journalists seek to define what is acceptable or deviant practice, who is or is not a
journalist, and what lies inside or outside the practices and institutions labeled journalism. In addition, non-journalists
increasingly have a mediated position from which to circulate their own critiques about journalism, which has resulted
in a growth in competition over the definitions of journalistic practice. Viewing these myriad texts as symbolic
boundary work provides a framework for interpreting this rich body of discourse. Boundary work helps connects
agency and structure by theoretically linking rhetorical acts with material formations. What is being contested with
boundary work is not cultural authority on its own but the allocation of resources that flows to those in possession of
authority. Turning to boundary work as a concept for understanding journalism poses a number of benefits. First, it
helps consolidate and progress existing work on professionalism, interpretive communities, fields, and paradigms.
With all of these areas on some level confronting issues of boundary maintenance, the perspective of boundary work
provides new conceptual footing for drawing connections across them. Second, the usefulness of boundary work is
quite pronounced given the ongoing upheaval within the larger media environment. In particular, the lowering of
barriers to entry to the mediated public sphere brought on by new technologies has led to a blurring of boundaries
between journalists and non-journalists. Indeed, much of the ongoing debate about the future of journalism concerns
the contestation of boundaries. What’s more, boundary work provides a conceptual framework for analyzing these
struggles while remaining normatively agnostic as to their direction. However, there remain challenges and future
directions to be tackled by researchers applying the boundary work approach to journalism. First, the research on
boundary work needs to sharpen its understanding of how metajournalistic discourse is created, circulated, and
consumed by both journalists and non-journalists. Supplementing textual analysis with other methodologies would
deepen an understanding of how boundary work occurs. Second, boundary work is primarily rhetorical, which leaves
ample room for analyzing the interplay between the rhetorical and material to better theorize and identify the concrete
effects of symbolic boundary work. Third, there needs to be more attention to boundary work in historical contexts to
better theorize how boundaries change over time. Finally, research on boundaries is already a cross-disciplinary
project drawing from cultural and social understandings of the world. It also presents a new direction for cross-
cultural work on how journalistic boundaries vary or persist across geographic boundaries. Boundary work provides a
conceptual lens that goes beyond professional differentiation and that remains focused on how local contexts shape
journalism. This is a promising direction for comparative studies of how journalists position their work across
nationalities. In sum, journalism studies gains much from adopting the boundary work perspective at a time when
boundaries receive so much attention around the globe. It is not an easy task to make sense of ongoing changes within
journalism, but being systematic about the contestation of boundaries promises new ways of understanding this
change.

8254. Dimensions of Messy Engagement: When University-School Partnerships Bring Digital Media into Urban
Schools
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

University-school partnerships are often fraught with complications related to resources, commitments, and differing
visions for success in what can be seen alternatively as a site for research and scholarship or as a site for enhancing
student learning. Media scholars balance their own interest in learning more about the contexts in which children learn
about and with media and technology with the needs of school administrators to work within the immediate needs of
their schools—improving test scores for national assessment, providing continuing opportunities for professional
development for faculty, and building the resources, infrastructure, and capacity of their schools, to name just a few.
Universities, then, can have a fragile relationship to the ecosystem of a given school. Communication scholars can
find it difficult to think about long-term strategies to engage with school administration, or may face obstacles in
getting their “foot in the door” at all. In this paper, I examine two strategies that help sustain university-school
collaboration: context-specific relationships and professional learning communities.

This study expands on previously published research into the role of citizen generated content plays in coverage of
breaking news and discusses implications for journalists and news organizations. The study compares sources used by
newspapers, broadcast news websites, and cable news websites in coverage of the shootings at Virginia Tech and the
shootings in Tucson, Arizona. Using a content analysis of newspapers and the websites of cable and broadcast news
networks, the authors explored the use of both official versus non-official sources and the use of citizen generated
content during the coverage of the January 2011 shootings in Tucson, Arizona that injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
(D-Ariz.) and 12 others, and killed six people. Results revealed reporters were more likely to use non-official sources.
Reporters also were more likely to use non-official technology sources, or citizen generated content, than official
technology sources such as web-based news releases and statements.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Parasocial interaction (PSI) or a relationship between a viewer and character has garnered the interest of entertainment
scholars, particularly as it has implications for program enjoyment, viewership, and loyalty. viewers must possess a
desire to maintain and strengthen these mediated relationships and they can change or end just as they do
interpersonally. At termination, viewers experience similar feelings and emotional distress that they would if they
ended a long-term interpersonal relationship. As theorizing about viewer-character relationships expand,
entertainment scholars are also beginning to argue for broader conceptualizations of the enjoyment experience,
moving beyond pure hedonistic pleasures to include eudaimonic ones. Using the world of Harry Potter as context, the
present study seeks to expand the theorizing of PSI and entertainment gratifications, allowing us to examine the roles
that motivations and parasocial breakups play in explaining the overall entertainment experience and its aftermath.

7221. Event and Issue Framing: What the Frames Say About Us
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study examines how the U.S. evening network news framed the 2011 Japan nuclear crisis. Specifically, we assess
evening news broadcast transcripts from March 11 to April 11, 2011 to identify the frames used to explain the events
of the crisis to the American public. Four broad themes of U.S. network news coverage were identified: 1) Bringing it
Home; 2) Protection, Heroes and Villains; 3) Cancer and Contamination; and 4) Uncertainty and Sensemaking. We
contend that the frames used by U.S. network evening news broadcasts in coverage of the Japan nuclear crisis
demonstrate how reality can be constructed for audiences to produce implications for public opinion and policy.
Additionally, these frames create a contradiction in how audience members on the other side of the world come to
understand a crisis compared to the affected publics.

The largest journalistic professional associations in the United States have not updated their codes of ethics to address
new ethical challenges posed by the emergence of online news. Still, while journalistic codes have neglected to
address issues that are specific to Internet communication, online ethics has been a subject of lively debate among
another group of writers: bloggers. Journalistic and blogger codes of ethics are similar in many ways, but have several
important differences. As journalists consider updates to their ethical codes, an examination of the values identified by
bloggers would be a worthwhile starting point.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The purpose of this exploratory study is threefold: first, to bring reference groups back into spiral of silence (SOS) by
proposing an extended framework of dual climate of opinion; and second, within the framework, to analytically
explore the boundary conditions of the stable existence of SOS; third, to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the
process in the aspects of spatial variation and temporal evolution. By agent-based modeling of SOS, the findings
suggest there is no guarantee of SOS after reference groups being brought back, and stable existence of SOS is
contingent upon the comparative strength of mass media over reference groups. Additionally, SOS is size-dependent
upon reference groups and the population. Furthermore, the growth rate of SOS decreases over time. This research
extends classic theory of SOS to include reference groups, which sheds light in understanding the interplay among
individuals, reference groups, and mass media.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Recent efforts to close the digital divide and promote digital inclusion through sustainable broadband Internet
adoption urge new attention to the classic diffusion of innovations paradigm. A Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) model
of broadband adoption among inner city residents is proposed that reconceptualizes innovation attributes (after
Rogers, 2003 and Bandura, 2004) in terms of the perceptions of potential adopters rather than the properties of
technologies. The model poses an alternative to recent descriptions of the technology adoption and utilization
processes found in the management information systems literature. The resulting model accounted for 36% of the
variance in intentions to adopt broadband technology and services, primarily from the SCT variables of expected
outcomes and self-efficacy. Habitual use of the Internet was also a factor. Among demographic variables, only age had
a significant (negative) relationship to broadband adoption after accounting for the SCT variables. Price sensitivity
had no significant relationship to adoption. Implications for theory and public policy are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This article explores the politics and poetics of Arab music videos in the digital age viathe heated online polemics
fueled by Wa‘d ‘Arqoub, a video featuring a romantic relationship against the backdrop of the plight of Iraq under US
occupation. After reviewing the music video literature, I use music video to underpin an understanding of the public
sphere grounded in notions of contention and circulation. Music video, I argue, is a heuristic site in two ways: as a
text it brings to the forefront the human body as medium and sexuality as central trope; as a medium it highlights new
patterns of circulation introduced by hypermedia space. Based on a close study of the music video itself and of more
than 50 Arabic-languages sources, this paper argues that a combination of polysemy and visibility makes music video
a distinctive catalyst of public discourse in the digital era.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This study investigated to what extent sons and daughters influence their parents’ adoption of digital media,
particularly the Internet, compared to other influence sources. It also explored structural factors that play a role in this
bottom-up process, such as socio-economic differences and gender. Finally, it examined the relationship between this
bottom-up technology transmission process and parents’ levels of Internet self-efficacy and online activities. Drawing
from diffusion of innovation and domestication theories and using a self-administered random mail survey, we found
that children play an important role in including their parents in the digital environment, particularly among women,
people who are older (35+ years old), and belong to lower socio-economic groups. We also found that this bottom-up
technology transmission is negatively associated with parents’ Internet self-efficacy and online activities. Implications
and possible interpretations of these results are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper aims at contributing to the EU (European Union) ‘communication deficit’ debate through a focus on the
relationship between Brussels-based correspondents and EU officials responsible for communication and/or contact
with the media. Our extant knowledge of EU-media relations presents two main constraints. Not only does previous
literature neglect potential differences in the several European institutions’ communication performance, but it also
tends to address the aforementioned actors separately. In light of these considerations, our paper draws on interviews
with both groups in order to establish a direct comparison of their perceptions on (1) the press work of each EU
institution; (2) the interaction between EU institutions; (3) their own informal contacts. Our results underline a set of
long-standing structural and organisational hindrances deeply embedded in the EU institutional set-up. These
deficiencies might be enduring the ‘communication deficit’ within the realm of EU democratic shortcomings.

Based in the analysis of Spanish LGTB activism this paper aims to question the constitution of ‘communities’ in
online and offline settings. Derived from the analysis of associations and Internet resources such as webpages the
tensions between locality, globality and virtuality (without forgetting glocality) will be taken into account. The
construction of place and space in the Spanish activist sphere is developed through an online-offline shaping of
activist spaces. Here we will analyze five LGTB associations: two in Madrid (COGAM, FELGTB ), two in Barcelona
(Cogailes, FAGC) and one in Andalucía (Girasol). Online and offline practices will be accounted and compared to
other LGTB webpages and blogs in order to consider the construction of a LGTB ‘sphere’.

Communication of local governments has become central to building trusting and long-term relationships with
citizens. However, whether communication undertaken by local governments aims at these relationships, and whether
interaction between authorities and citizens is a definitional element of professional communication is something that
requires research. In this paper we analyze how professional local government communication is conceptualized and
practised in two Spanish cities (Madrid and Bilbao). We more specifically apply to local governments what has been
previously applied to central national governments (Sanders, Canel and Holtz-Bacha, 2011): an analytical framework
that includes structural elements related to two administrative organizational dimensions. The first covers formal rules
(see Vogel 2010) and the second relates to financial resources. Formal rules include all relevant legislation, policies
and guidance as well as organizational charts detailing communication roles. Financial resources include budgets and
reward systems. Human resources are regarded as a separate structural element and include the skills, knowledge and
values of the communication workforce as detailed in professional profiles, training and recruitment programs
together with the number of those employed in communication. The framework also profiles communication
processes related to information gathering, analysis and dissemination and, for future research and analysis, processes
related to information evaluation. Using this preliminary analytical framework, and through in-depth interviews with
local public authorities and local governments’ spokespeople, we respond to the question of the presence of
professionalization in routine political communication, and how the development of professionalism is expressed in
structures and processes in different local governments.

This paper advances a theory of 'transmissive control' to analyze how new Internet routing software alter the nature of
transmission online. ComCast, a major American Internet Service Provider, illustrates the significance of transmissive
control when they trademarked 'We own Faster' to market their high-speed Internet service. Just prior to the campaign,
an investigation revealed ComCast was deliberately slowing certain applications, specifically peer-to-peer (P2P) file-
sharing. The revelation permits another reading of the advertising campaign: ComCast did not just 'own faster', but
created 'faster' and, more to the point, created 'slower' using their traffic management software. Throughout this paper,
software and metaphors of demons will explicate the change nature of transmission on the Internet. A theoretical
discussion of the nature of digital media, and the temporalities of transmission explore how transmissive control
operates and alters the nature of communication on the Internet. Transmissive control is a novel concept to investigate
control in digital media, and to question the politics of traffic management as exemplified by ComCast.

Despite seemingly arcane subject matter, difficult technical concepts, and concerted efforts by transnational
telecommunication and information monopoly firms to undermine public participation, public interest in and
collective action around internet policy has steadily grown during the last decade. This is reflected in growth in the
number, size, and resource levels of internet policy advocacy organizations and of internet policy program areas
within other advocacy groups (for example, Free Press, EFF, EPIC, Common Cause, etc). At the same time, internet
policy advocates struggle to connect their battles to the needs and interests of working people, people of color, and to
a mass base that could hold the political class accountable to information and communication policies in the public
interest. This study examines the frames, organizing approaches, and proposals for internet policy put forward by the
Media Action Grassroots Network (MAG-net) and other actors, who use a media justice framework to connect ICT
policy to social, racial, economic, cultural, and environmental justice frames and movements.

Political Communication has completed a fast transition from conventional mass media to the current digital
landscape. Internet has turned into a new cultural forum (Jensen, 2011) where people are daily developing new media
uses and consumption strategies, fostering innovative practices. Online spaces are behind interesting deliberative
processes and political communication consultants are forced to find new keys to understand how the system is
working and how they can face the new challenges ahead. Scholar research is also in front of these challenges, as it
has to develop new methods to tackle new social and technological contexts. This paper presents the results of a meta-
analytical research about what has been published in Spanish journals of communication about political
communication and new technologies (time spam is 2000-2010). By means of quantitative content analysis of research
articles, this research shows the growing presence of Internet as a field of research and how methodological approach
is being diversified. Complementarily, a qualitative review about how scholars are adapting traditional research
techniques and methods to a new digital context is completed in order to screen the path followed by a scientific
community still under construction.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

School bullying has been defined as a process of interaction in which one student is repeatedly hurt and/or excluded
by one or a group of students without being able to defend him- or herself or to affect the treatment to which he or she
has been subjected (Pörhölä 2009). Although school bullying can be studied from the perspective of hurtful
communication, this has not been done to any significant degree. For example, attention has rarely been paid to the
ways in which students perceive and interpret hurtful communication in school bullying situations and/or processes
(Pörhölä, Rainivaara, & Karhunen 2006) or to children’s experiences of hurtful communication by peers in general
(Vangelisti & Hampel 2010). In previous studies the theories applied to the exploration of hurtful communication
have been mainly interpersonal and cognitive in nature (e.g., Appraisal Theory). The first aim of this paper is to
explore how hurtful interaction creates and sustains a hurtful communication culture within a peer group. The second
aim is to offer ideas about how to apply group communication theories to the study of hurtful communication. Based
on qualitative research material collected in Finland from students aged from 13 to 17 years, examples of creating and
sustaining hurtful communication cultures are given. As part of a larger study, participants (N=151, 91 females and 60
males) were asked to provide a detailed written description of their own experiences of a bullying interaction. As a
conclusion, we provide some ideas for applying group communication theories, such as Structuration Theory and
Symbolic Convergence, to interpret the findings.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Through the lens of a simulated border crossing experience 700 miles frin the physical US/Mexico divide, my paper
makes a case for understanding the border as a liminal space where cultural play, experimentation, and resistance find
formation. Fusing ethnography, narrative analysis and discourse, and culling from fieldwork that traverses California
and Ixmiquilpan, Mexico, I explore the border as a site of representation of human experience, not only of subjects
and their relation to the state, but also of transnational productions and communities. Located in the Mexican
Highlands, Parque Eco-Alberto is gaining international recognition for its caminata, or “border crossing walk.”
During the four-hour caminata nocturna (journey through the night) tourists try to evade la migra (border police).
Led by Hñahñu guides who perform the role of “coyotes”, participants traverse rocky hills, riverbeds, and brambles in
this Eco-park. In contrast to and in conversation with the symbolic portrayal of the border in Ixmiquilpan, I explore a
border adventure tour - “Riding the line” that's situated along the San Diego/Mexico divide. Run by a retired border
patrol agent, participants travel the length of the fence, where they are promised a glimpse of “what they've only seen
on the nightly news.” While my ethnography of “Riding the Line” examines the “real” border, it also offers a portrait
of San Diego as a border city. In Ixmiquilpan, far from the California/Mexico line where the border is enacted without
relying on the geographic, but rather by embracing history, the power of the imaginary, and memory.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper uses the debate over ‘Produsage’ and ‘Critical Media Studies 2.0’ to explain how media risks and
resources influence the social opportunities afforded to marginalized young people. Produsage focuses on how digital
media afford unprecedented opportunities for social inclusion through media production (Bruns, 2007). Its critics
accuse the produsage thesis of overestimating the extent to which the public really do produce media content that
challenges the hegemony of media industries. Media Studies 2.0 goes even further, arguing that media users are the
new cultural dopes. This paper applies this quarrel to a study of young people who were taking part in a fire safety
course in the UK, who were erroneously labeled as criminals in the local press. It explains why their decision not to
‘produse’ different identities made sense within media cultures that demand participation.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The traditional professional model of media content production is increasingly being complemented or replaced by
user-generated content. Words like pro-am, co-creation or produser describe the phenomenon, which breaks down the
barriers between producers and consumers of media content. Especially on the web, new and hybrid genres of news
stories are emerging. This change is hotly debated in newsrooms. The development of a Finnish “My Town” website,
with over 600,000 weekly visitors, is presented as an example of emerging news genres. Readers are actively asked to
produce pictures and stories on topics chosen by the newsroom. An experiment with a chosen group of “reader-
reporters” has brought up the issue of hybrid genres and power. Several questions occur: Who decides what to
publish, are reader’s texts edited, how do you combine content from journalists and producers, and what kind of news
genres and work practices emerge from pro-am practices?

The aim of this paper is to investigate the complexity of organizational transparency in the context of corporate social
responsibility. We draw on and expand Luhmann’s theory of organizations as systems of communication and
Brunsson’s notion of organizational hypocrisy to challenge the assumptions that transparency provides clarity and
insight into all dimensions of organizational life, that CSR communication is necessarily superficial, as opposed to
CSR action, and that consistency between CSR communication and CSR action is essential in generating positive
change in the area of corporate social responsibility. Against these assumptions, we argue that aspirational CSR talk
may be an important resource for social change, even when organi¬zations do not fully live up to their aspirations.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This paper focuses on the practice of hiding the conversational roots of «doing research» and the crucial consequences
this practice has in the shaping of scientific knowledge. It is argued that the aura of certainty that suitably
characterises most findings in social science research results from underestimating the interactional details occurring
in even the most standardized inquiries. After an excursus on the cultural premises within which we have historically
established what scientific knowledge should be to be relevant for collective praxis, the paper provides an empirical
illustration of the point. The analyses of a collection of question/answer sequences from a telephone survey shows the
respondents’ strategies to resist standardization and the conversational resources they use to frame their replies as
situated, provisory and even uncertain. In the discussion we contend that ignoring these conversational details and
turning almost any reply into a declarative statement are precise and even useful camouflage techniques through
which a survey produces that kind of knowledge we expect from scientific research.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

In environments where speech is difficult, people naturally begin to communicate with gestures. This process can be
induced experimentally but occurs spontaneously between people in noisy workplaces. In some cases, gestural
communication undergoes conventionalization and a gesture code begins to emerge. In this paper, I explain how I
drew on this process to attempt to facilitate communication in a noisy salmon factory where a conventionalized
gesture code had not evolved naturally. By formalizing and developing the use of gestures along a production line, my
goal was to help workers minimize misunderstandings and communicate more effectively. This goal was met with
several challenges, however. Although communication with new gestures during practice runs allowed selected
workers to communicate a specific message more efficiently in terms of response times, the actual implementation of
a gesture code between two teams in situ was unsuccessful. A discussion of my intervention should be of interest to
researchers working in the field of language and social interaction and also to workplace practitioners.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This research examines how media literacy education can be useful for young North Korean refugees in their
understanding of their host society of South Korea by reshaping their attitudes toward the mass media, their primary
sources by which to gain knowledge about their host country. This participatory action research, conducted during the
summer of 2008 in five different institutions over three months, demonstrates that students who previously had felt
guilty about their media usage and always had thought negatively about the media began to find pleasure and
appreciate the various functions of the mass media through media literacy education. This educational process thus
opened a door for students to learn not only about the media, but also about their host society which produces and in
turn is shaped by the media.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Party labels have been shown to influence policy attitudes. Can partisans correct for the influence of party labels?
Borrowing the insights of bias-correction study from psychology, this paper applies the Flexible Corrective Model
(FCM) to the influence of party labels on policy attitudes. In an online experiment, subjects read a brief policy
statement and were randomly assigned to be informed that the policy was proposed by Republicans, Democrats, or
neither. Subjects were then randomly assigned to be instructed to avoid biases when answering questions about their
support for the policy or to a “no instructions” condition. Subjects who received bias correction instructions
counteracted the effects of party labels in their attitudes. This correction depended on subjects’ naïve theories about
the magnitude of party labels effects, as predicted by the FCM.
Can Systemic Differences and Individual Beliefs Explain Actors’ Perceptions of Mass Media’s Impact on the Political
Agenda and the Success of Politicians? France and Germany Compared, Peter Michael Maurer, U of Vienna

Presented at the following event:

7134. State-Press Relationships and Diplomacy
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The question of how powerful mass media are in politics becomes crucial and pressing in the advent of concepts such
as audience democracy that put them in the centre of the political process. It is answered for France and Germany
where two types of media’s political impact are compared. The construct of media impact is measured by asking
altogether 558 politicians and journalist for their perceptions of both types. Items with five point-scales serve as
indicators. Results reveal considerable impact on the career of politicians in both countries, which is perceived to be
far greater by French actors, though. In the paper, systemic explanations for this pattern are discussed.
Can We Be Friends? Building Cultural Bridges in Globally Distributed Work Contexts, Bhuvana Narayanamurthy,

Presented at the following event:

5223. Diverse Facets of ICT Use (CAT High Density Panel II)
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Despite recognizing that trust is a critical factor that helps build cohesive relationships in distributed settings, CMC
literature is surprisingly silent on how the larger concept of social capital, gets built in such settings. This study uses
data from 45 interviews conducted with globally distributed technology consultants in four multinational firms, two
American and two Indian, to examine how social capital is built in globally distributed settings. Using cognitive
boundaries theory, the study analyzes the preferences of participants in working with globally distributed others, by
examining the intercultural, distributed and occupational factors that help or hinder the building of relational bridges,
or social capital. The study found that with greater travel experience differences of cultural orientations and
occupational peculiarities become less rigid in accommodating the interests of others. It also found that role
responsibilities besides cultural orientation, plays an important role in building and bridging cognitive boundaries.
Can YouTube Unite Us All? Integrating Course Content Across the Theory/Production Divide, Bill D. Herman,
Hunter College, CUNY

Presented at the following event:

7255. Extended Session: Media Literacy at the Forefront of Instruction
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Many media studies departments have substantial offerings in both production and theory. Yet faculty on either side
of the theory/production divide may have little sense of what the faculty on the other side are teaching and how such
content might inform their own instruction. This in-progress study seeks to find areas of common interest and
coverage across theory and production courses as a way of strengthening and better integrating curricular offerings.
Using YouTube as a touchstone, the research involves semi-structured interviews with media faculty in a department
with substantial offerings in both internet theory and video production. Results suggest faculty have vague
understandings of each other’s topical coverage but could do more to discuss common topics and integrate this
discussion into a holistic understanding that reaches students on both sides of the theory/production divide. The study
also suggests a method for having such a dialog in departments on other campuses.
Canaries in the Coal Mine: Law and Policy Conflicts Around Activist Media, Laura Stein, U of Texas - Austin

Presented at the following event:

6238. Extended Session: Media, Markets, and Democracy
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This position paper argues that because activists are often on the frontlines of conflicts between technology users and
governmental and private actors shaping law, policy and practice, scholars should look to these conflicts for cues
about areas of study where significant and positive contributions can be made. Three areas of communication law,
policy and practice especially relevant to activists are access to information, privacy/anonymity, and freedom of
expression/censorship. Activists’ experiences and stated interests in each of these areas can highlight tensions
between market-driven practices, government inclinations to control information and communication, and democratic
uses of digital media and networks. Each of these areas also poses significant questions concerning the practices
taking shape, the underlying political and economic forces at play, the central principles at stake, and appropriate
interpretation, implementation and enforcement of law and policy.

6329. Communicating Social Support: From Micro Interactions to Communication in Communities
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This paper examines the associations between cancer-related communication openness, topic avoidance, and caregiver
burden from the perspectives of both patients and their partners/caregivers. Two models were proposed: one model
considered participants’ perspectives of their own communication behaviors, and the second model considered
partners’ perspectives of the other’s communication behavior (specifically topic avoidance). Participants include 95
dyads in which one partner had been diagnosed and/or treated for cancer. Data were analyzed using structural
equation modeling. Results indicate that when reflecting on one’s own behavior, partners’ perceptions of their (1)
open communication is negatively associated and (2) topic avoidance is positively associated with caregiver burden.
Patients’ report of topic avoidance is positively associated with partners’ caregiver burden. More topic avoidance
(both patient and partner) predicts partners’ perceptions of greater caregiver burden. When reflecting the others’ topic
avoidance, only partners’ reports of perceptions of patients’ topic avoidance are positively associated with caregiver
burden.

Presented at the following event:

8234. Campaigns and Electoral Behavior
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The coverage on politics is increasingly focusing on the top politicians especially during election campaigns. At the
same time declining party alignment among the voters has been observed going hand-in-hand with an increased
importance of short-term factors on voting decisions like the preference for candidates. Previous research has
delivered mixed results whether the coverage of election campaigns is increasingly personalized or not. The same
holds true for candidates voting. Using survey data for Germany this paper analyses the interplay of media use and
voting behaviour from 1990 onwards on a large representative basis. This data is supplemented by other secondary
data sources that in order to assess the degree of personalization in the coverage. In a series of logistic-regression
models we will asses to what extent candidate voting can be related to individual media consumption.

As mobile users are switching from using phones for voice and text to using phones as their primary computing
devices, smartphones and tablets have become increasingly popular. Mobile providers extol the ability of the mobile
web to deliver messages that would resonate perfectly with consumers by reaching them at the right time, in the right
place and when they are in the right mood. However, the rhetoric of choice and better consumer resonance obscures
both the existence of new, ubiquitous practices of data collection based on dynamic knowledge of users’ “web of
meanings,” and the development of technical platforms that seamlessly integrate advertising content into a user’s
mobile environment. In this essay, we use the legal concept of “captive audience” developed in the United States as a
lens through which to identify what emerging features of the contemporary mobile environment pose privacy
concerns. Following legal precedents, we define captive audiences as unwilling listeners with no functional opt-out
mechanisms. Identifying captive audience situations in mobile environments is important because, in that case, the
privacy rights of the audiences might outweigh the First Amendment rights of the content providers. Thus, successful
captive audience arguments may lead to successful privacy regulations. Two questions structure our analysis: To what
extent does contemporary mobile ecology create the potential for captive audiences? And, what kind of regulatory
infrastructure will avoid escalating privacy concerns? We argue that the following features of the current mobile
environment create privacy threatening “sticky” relationships between users and their mobile devices: (a) the
increasing reliance on Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes to deliver content; (b) user segmentation and
targeting by app use; (c) the changing nature of mobile content delivery that melds delivery with exhibition (such as
the business model behind Apple’s mobile devices); (d) new targeting mechanisms using relational data that combines
location filters with other social filters (such as context-targeting and behavioral targeting); (e) the emergence of
technologies to manage interruptions (such as platforms for in-app advertisement). In discussing privacy remedies, we
examine possible changes in the nature of the privacy contract proposed by mobile providers (Pasquale, 2010), the
nature of informed consent (Gandy, 1993, 2010, 2011), the available means of collecting consent (Cleff, 2007), as
well as statemandated regulatory solutions.

Presented at the following event:

6132. Issues in the Effects of Media on Youth Development
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper presents the results of an intervention study to increase political involvement of adolescents through target-
oriented political TV programming. In the discussion concerning the lack of political engagement of adolescents the
media are usually regarded as part of the problem rather than a potential solution. Based on OLS regression analysis
preformed on data collected among a representative sample of 15-18 year olds in the Netherlands (N=1653) this study
shows that exposure to specific media content can increase adolescents political engagement significantly, especially
among those who show low political interest. To achieve this effect the program deals with topics relevant for the
target group, young protagonists, and offers various opportunities to become politically active on-and offline. The
results are discussed in the light of recent developments in the field of media malaise theory and the exclusion of the
young from politics hypothesis put forward by Buckingham.

Oregon

Presented at the following event:

5242. Performing Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Community Online
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This paper considers the aesthetic, rhetorical and political implications of the seemingly unlikely (though extremely
frequent) pairing of cute content and homophobic language on 4chan/b/, one of the Internet’s most active trolling
hotspots. I describe this phenomenon as the “catfag dialectic,” a term that embodies precisely the tensions I seek to
unpack; as I explain, the word “fag” in this context performs a number of seemingly contradictory linguistic and
cultural functions, including nominative suffix, blanket pejorative and homophobic slur. In this sense “fag” is both
epithet and a badge of honor, an ambivalence further complicated by its placement alongside cute kittens, fuzzy
bunnies and wide-eyed puppies. I argue that such ludic recombination(s) queers traditional notions of heteronormative
masculinity, and subsequently complicates the widely-held assumption that trolling behaviors in this context are
outright homophobic and/or misogynist.
Cautious Traditionalists? Use of Interactive Features on Swedish Newspaper Web Sites, Anders Olof Larsson,

Presented at the following event:

7128. New Theories for Participatory Journalism
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper examines what kind of interactive features are available on the web sites of Swedish newspapers, and what
factors seem to influence the utilization of those features. Using Chung’s typology of interactive features, we can
discern four types: human (features that facilitate interpersonal communication), human-medium (allowing users to
express their personal opinions), medium (allowing users choice options in experiencing news stories) and medium-
human (allowing users to customize news to their liking) interactive features. Factors believed to have influence over
interactive features are tested using statistical analysis. Even though different factors tend to influence different types
of interactivity, results indicate that the most interactive newspaper web sites belong to large, national newspapers
with younger web staff.

Presented at the following event:

6520. New Approaches in Media and Public Opinion Research
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Although a main aim of celebrity activism is to grab a wide audience’s attention for a social cause, research about
public perceptions of the phenomenon is scarce. This study wants to gain theoretical and empirical insight into the
possible influence of celebrity activists on the public. An internet survey among 1000 Flemish adults ascertains which
celebrities are considered activists and how the public perceives the phenomenon. Results show that an elite of
celebrity activists in a deeply engaged role or with a considerable track record of engagement are the most popular.
While most respondents consider such activism to contribute to non-profit organisations’ goals, scepticism about the
celebrities’ motives is apparent. Adolescents and celebrity news followers, traditionally less involved in social causes,
have a more positive attitude toward celebrity activism than older respondents. As such, celebrity activism might be a
good approach to reach thus far uninterested parts of society.

The intelligent phone with camera (smartphone) or rather, the camera which includes a phone, emerges as a device
which inagurates a new paradigm in the conception, production, culture, appropriation and consumption of
photographs and visual images. The central axis of the new paradigm is the socialization of the image in real time and
through digital, on-line environments. This paradigm of image, as a socialization link, participates in an
unprecedented media convergence that the cellular phone or mobile operates. this text hand shall encompass the state

the New Communication Environment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

As the information, opinion and entertainment functions comingle and migrate to new platforms, the role of the
journalist and communications worker is often marginalized in industries increasingly dominated and led by a
business-engineering culture. This paper argues that the disconnect between the professed importance of content and
its limited organizational role is due, in large part to a lack of understanding and respect for the creative process or for
the complexity of what are regarded as soft and subjective skills. This perception of human capital in media industries
is also driven by the longstanding "free versus paid" debate, wherein content delivered over digital platforms is
regarded by many as a free commodity while at the same time consumers eagerly engage in e-commerce paying for all
manner of products and services. While there is considerable push back to this notion by content producers and
providers, much of the new digital media takes its content from tradi-tional media sources without compensation--or
even credit. In the face of these realities, schools of journalism, communication and media studies face a singular
challenge. While proficient in helping traditional media practitioners master their craft and even innovative in making
adaptations to digital media, they are less successful in teaching their students to fully grasp and navigate the new
media environment in an organizational and human capital sense. This means continuing to prepare students for
careers in existing media, even as these industries are under clear stains to survive, and at the same time guiding them
into unknown and uncertain territory, involving new platforms and the management and orchestration of digital
assets. An analysis of media trends and likely developments, buttressed by the history of media technologies, suggests
that journalism and communication schools should consider the following strategies: 1. connect critical thinking with
strategic thinking; 2. Embrace the experiential process of recipients; 3. counter and collaborate with the busi-ness
engineering culture. The recommendations can be taken to suggest new course modules, courses and a different set of
priorities for educators as they renew their commitment to content informed by a changing media environment, were
content producers can play a large role.

5237. Internet Politics From a Civil Society Perspective: Goals, Strategies, and Political Consciousness of Internet
Policy Initiatives
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The Internet has offered significant opportunities for citizen-based media production and for bypassing established
gatekeepers. However these openings are heavily contested as states and the private sector try to control and curtail
access to communication infrastructure as well as content, while civil society initiatives have emerged to advocate for
opening and expanding free online expression. In this paper we first map out a set of challenges and obstacles that are
being erected to contain citizen-based online media production. Then we introduce several policy initiatives from
different countries which oppose those obstacles, including the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI), European
campaigns against new surveillance legislation, advocacy for digital broadcasting, and emerging proposals for
communications policy change in Arab countries. We investigate what repertoires of action they apply, the conditions
of their success, and the (lack of) convergence of agendas. Research for this paper was based on in-depth qualitative
interviews with members of policy initiatives as well as document analysis of policy proposals, and draws on results
from distinct research projects on media policy change.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Past health communication research provides a framework from which to build our understanding of the consequences
of unintended campaign effects (See Cho & Salmon, 2007). Three of these unintended effects – social reproduction,
social norming, and system activation, occur on a societal level. The societal effects of health campaigns can be far
reaching and long lasting. These effects can be positive, though when unintended and uncontrolled, they can cause
disastrous results (for example, the stigmatization of unhealthy groups or the expansion of preexisting health
disparities). These three societal effects will be discussed and expanded upon. Discussion of unintended effects at the
societal level will include an overview of past unintended societal effects, and the positive and negative dichotomy on
which they exist.

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study used media multiplexity theory to investigate if and how a new genre of online games influences social
capital across different kinds of player networks. Over 17,000 players of the popular game League of Legends were
surveyed on their playing partners, the media channels used, and social capital. The results showed that the amount of
play was negatively associated with players’ bridging social capital, yet complementary communication channels
beyond the game system fostered more bridging social capital. Moreover, players who played with strong ties used
more media in- and out-game to communicate and had greater bonding social capital than players who played with
weak ties. For players who played with weak ties, the effect of media multiplicity on their bonding social capital was
unclear.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Patterns of change propagated by crisis events can be difficult to measure and evaluate. Chaos theory (CT) offers
perspective for analyzing crisis communication and response strategies beyond traditional linear views of cause and
effect during post-crisis situations. This study examines the organizational rhetoric of the Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA) in the wake of a coal ash spill. For this case, we analyze TVA’s communication response to the ash pond
diking system that failed in December 2008. The dike released a tidal wave of ash and water in Roane County,
Tennessee. Promises for sweeping changes announced by TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore during his testimony
before Congress are analyzed from the perspective of CT. Specifically, we view Kilgore’s response as a rhetorical
interaction intended to initiate the major changes in the technical and communication procedures needed for the TVA
to advance to the level of self-organization in its crisis response.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This study uses content analysis to examine newspaper coverage of the controversy surrounding the potential health
effects of exposure to bisphenol A (BPA). The newspapers under study include the Globe and Mail in Canada, which
banned BPA in baby bottles and cups; the New York Times and the Washington Post in the United States, which has
no federal BPA ban; and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a regional U.S. newspaper that launched an investigative
series regarding BPA. The analysis considers five dimensions of coverage from 1996 to 2009: frame(s) used;
population(s) mentioned in connection to BPA; links between BPA and general or specific health effects; source(s) of
scientific information about BPA cited; and tone of coverage regarding health risks. The study concludes by
considering what the findings suggest about news coverage of controversies involving contested science as well as the
potential effects of such coverage on public opinion.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Although there has been concern about young people’s Social Network sites use since the 1990s, little is known about
the association between online trust and SNSs use. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between
gratifications of SNSs use, self-disclosure on SNSs, offline social trust, and online trust. Results from a sample of 640
Chinese college students show that gratifications of SNS use (e.g., social interaction, self-image building, and
information-seeking), and offline social trust play important roles in predicating levels of self-disclosure on SNSs
(e.g., valence, depth, amount, intentionality, and honesty-accuracy). Moreover, gratifications of SNS use, offline
social trust, and self-disclosure on SNSs are significant predictors of online trust (e.g., online social trust and
confidence in SNSs). This research gives an empirical insight in the influence of gratifications of SNSs use and offline
social trust for online self-disclosure and online trust.

The U.S. Supreme Court in Eldred v. Ashcroft gave constitutional status to the topic of copyright history. In
measuring whether Congress has altered the “traditional contours” of copyright such that First Amendment scrutiny
must be applied, federal courts—including the Supreme Court in its 2011 Term case Golan v. Holder—must carefully
examine the intertwined history of copyright and freedom of the press. The famous but misunderstood case of
Donaldson v. Beckett in the British House of Lords in 1774 is an important piece of this history. In Donaldson, several
lawyers, litigants, judges and lords recognized the danger posed by copyright to untrammeled public communication.
Eighteenth-century newspaper accounts shed new light on the free press implications of this important period in
copyright law history.

8120. The Selection of Content in the Contemporary Media Environment
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Digital gaming can be regarded as being part of the media mainstream, and one of the driving forces in today’s
entertainment industry. With the changes of the field, we can also witness an expansion in genres and user groups. A
seemingly basic question gains new relevance in the light of the growing diversification: Why do people turn to
various types of digital games? In our study, we examine the relationship between gaming motives and genre
preferences on the basis of a multifactorial model deduced from previous research. The model and its respective scales
were tested using a representative sample of 4500 gamers. We found that, indeed, gaming motives can be identified as
relevant predictors for genre preferences. Furthermore, we could discern between three dimensions of motives (ego-
centered, social, and content-related). However, socio-demographic attributes and personality traits need to be
considered as relevant factors as well.
Cinematic Metaphors as “Mythical Realities”: Ethnographic Film as Fieldwork, Mark Pedelty, U of Minnesota

Presented at the following event:

6153. Representing "Reality": The Complex and Messy World of Documentary Production
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

Ethnographic film is often perceived as an end product, the equivalent of an ethnographic monograph. This paper
argues that ethnographic film is more than medium, videography can also serve as method. When creatively
employed, and reflexively rendered, videography can serve heuristic purposes, revealing rather than merely
documenting cultural patterns. There is a cinematic dimension to contemporary cultures that film reveals and captures
as well or better than any other medium. Whether the ethnographer brings a camera to the field or not, cultural sites
are already cinematically media, awash in visual technologies and texts. Filmed fieldwork will be compared to more
traditional ethnographic research in order to better understand the methodological impact of film and, more
importantly, illustrate some of the ways in which cinematic metaphors have become what Marshall Sahlins refers to as
“mythical realities,” narratives that help form identities, mediate social interaction, and inform our conceptions of
place (1981).

The transformations in the perception of space and time partly as a natural outcome of mobile communication
technologies, especially in urban and metropolitan areas, have drastically influenced what a city is, how it is
characterised and what it represents and embodies for its inhabitants. The augmented cityscape has emerged as a new
hybrid space and carries many elements of social and physical interaction as well as online and mobile. Mobile
communication technologies, especially location-aware smartphones have contributed to this augmentation by adding
new layers of information to the cityscapes and new experiences to the everyday lives of their inhabitants. Now, the
cities don’t end with the visibly observable. It contains information from various networks, of both people and
devices, and what we now see is actually well beyond what is in front of us (Gordon and de Souza e Silva, 2011).
Even if with the introduction of mobile communication technologies, distance and location information have slowly
started to loose their importance as obstacles against communication, higher mobility rates along with the uncertainty
in people’s whereabouts in everyday life have caused an increasing interest in location information and distance,
allowing them to regain their importance. On the contrary to what Wellman (2001) has once argued, mobile
communication technologies and mobile phones in particular do not only ‘afford a fundamental liberation from place’
(p.238), they simultaneously afford a form of attachment to and dependence on one, or even more, different place(s).
As Gumpert and Drucker (2007) argue with the increase in our ability to communicate to any place from anywhere at
any time, we become dependent on location by others or ourselves, and they add that we somehow ‘require global
positioning to locate the mobile “us” in physical space’ (p.11). This dialectical, and rather paradoxical, relationship
between mobility and precise location has started to be used as a recent depiction of the urban space. Location-
awareness can lead to a lived in and experienced/constructed space even if these places are perceived to be mobile and
sometimes hybrid. While mobility in everyday life leads to an abstract space (as it entails and somehow demands
uncertainty in the definite location and this is the reason why it is sometimes referred to as “placelessness” or is
associated with having “no sense of place” ) this abstractness has started to disappear as more people engage with
locative media; i.e location based social networks and locative arts. All these experiences add new representational,
material places to the existing urban landscape. Thus, in contrast to the view that media in general lead to inauthentic
experiences of space, this study claims that with the use of location information in smartphones people can actually
create their own authentic/genuine experiences of different places. Within this framework this research analyses
locative media (location based social networks, maps and GPS trackers) among smartphone users based on 30 in-
depth interviews conducted in London, UK in 2011 in order to have an understanding of how metropolitan, urban
landscape transforms into augmented cityscapes and how users interact with this new emergent city. References:

Presented at the following event:

8230. Advertising and Commercial Speech: Issues of Law and Regulation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

the wake of the Citizens United v FEC decision, a variety of legal and theoretical scholarship appeared, some of which
suggested that a dramatic increase in political “issue” advertising would begin to flood the airwaves during the lead up
to election day. While much of this literature is well reasoned, the current literature about the decision is largely
absent any empirical data to examine the quantity of issue advertising before and after the controversial decision. To
address this significant literature gap, this pilot study was developed using information collected from the public files
of radio stations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the non-candidate issue advertising from the election cycles in 2006,
2008, and 2010. While spending on and the number of issue ads both decreased overall when comparing the 2008
(pre-Citizens United) and the 2010 (post-Citizens United) election cycles, the number of outside groups running issue
advertising nearly doubled during the same time period. The authors put this finding in the context of radio’s appeal to
local audiences and conclude that this finding is an indication that some of the concerns about the outcomes of the
Citizens United decision are well founded.
Citizenship as the Practice of Solidarity: Theorizing Cultural Nationalisms and Transnationalism in the Indian
Diaspora, Renu Pariyadath, U of Iowa

Presented at the following event:

8233. Citizenship and Exile
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper proposes through a case study that we study citizenship as solidarity or as a relationship between people by
attending to ways of being political that are not necessarily attached to legal status or individual rights. Through the
case of the NGO Association for India’s Development (AID), the paper examines solidaristic practices that diasporic
individuals engage in to translate political causes that transcend national boundaries. These diasporic individuals work
to uphold the foundational right of a citizen – the right to have rights – by building transnational solidarity for their
causes. By focusing on citizenship as a practice, the definition of citizenship may be extended to transnational
activism and cultural nationalisms that redefine the hyphen between the nation and the state.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

A significant number of studies have already been undertaken concerning civil society par-ticipation in internet
governance on the global level. Complementary, this paper suggests studying internet policy activism more intensely
on the national level. It considers civil advocacy groups in Germany and how they are seeking to make themselves
heard in internet policy-making processes. Germany is a promising case, because German activists have managed to
obtain mass media coverage and influenced policy processes directly by means of constitutional court complaints and
online-petitions. They have become sought-after participants in high-ranking committees of experts held by
Government and Parliament. Our paper draws on the governance approach and resource mobilization theory;
empirically it is based on 20 qualitative interviews with prominent internet policy activists. The findings are set in the
context of activism in other countries and on the global level. Interpretations are situated in relation to media activism
prior to the internet and to the general debate on internet and activism.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

There is a long tradition in South Asia of reinterpreting and rewriting the epics from a number of vantage. In the last
two decades, there has been intense interest in appropriating the epics in a feminist vein, partly because is well
recognized that the epics continue to have influence on people in their daily and particularly that central women
characters are considered role models for women. It therefore becomes important ideological work for feminists to
reconfigure and interrogate the epics as a way to critique patriarchy widely, connecting with the already existing
critiques in the folk domain. This is exactly the enterprise that a number of feminists have taken up. This paper
examines both the folk appropriations and the feminist appropriations of the epics that put women at the center and
critique patriarchal norms.
Cold War Mindedness as a Questionable Quality Marker for U.S. Journalism, Barbie Zelizer, U of Pennsylvania

Presented at the following event:

6622. Excellence and Quality in Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

With the onset of the Cold War, new standards for how to conduct oneself journalistically were set in place in the
United States. Alongside the ascent of TV and a new media environment, the emergence of militarism as a dominant
diplomatic paradigm, the manipulation of fear as a mode of psychic control and a preoccupation with image
management forced journalists to accommodate an uncertain mindset in the early years of the Cold War. This paper
considers what those standards were and how they were negotiated within a professional context then unclear to most
journalists, raising the question of what was to constitute quality journalism of the time, who was to decide and on
which basis. It also suggests that the claim to quality often derives from historic circumstances that are no longer
relevant to the evolving forms of journalism. Arguing that the pervasive character of Cold War mindedness that set the
stage for its forty years of conflict continues to pervade debates over the quality of U.S. journalism even today, this
paper raises the question of how quality markers for journalism deal with changing extra-journalistic circumstances
and ponders whether quality markers can ever sufficiently reflect the changing environments in which journalism
resides.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Human services volunteering has become one of the major means by which individuals and communities engage with
significant social issues. Scholarship on nonprofit management and the popular media typically position volunteering
as an activity that improves both personal and community wellbeing through the development of collaborative
relationships. This paper questions the uncritical relationship between collaboration in volunteer settings and positive
community development, and examines the role of collaboration and contestation in building volunteer networks. The
paper uses Lave and Wenger’s (1991) communities of practice framework to analyze the social practices of volunteers
from three nonprofit organizations. The findings indicate that some instances of contestation are productive, and
some cases of collaboration destructive. The paper assesses how organizational structures and practices impact the
development and acceptability of conflict and contestation by volunteers, and considers the implications for the
development of a truly civic space, before offering suggestions for future research.
Colleges and Universities’ Use of Twitter to Foster Dialogue, Elizabeth Bates, Baylor U

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Colleges and universities continue to experience financial woes. Consequently, they are looking for ways to increase
enrollment and donations. The relationships between those who logged onto an institution’s social networking site and
the likelihood that an individual applied to a university suggests these institutions should consider social networking
sites to attain goals. Furthermore, the ease with which information can be provided to publics via social media
suggests these tools may aid fundraising efforts. To be most effective, colleges and universities need to use social
media, such as Twitter, to create a dialogue with publics. The current research study will analyze the Twitter profiles
of colleges and universities listed in the U.S. New & World Reports to determine whether higher education
institutions are taking advantage of Twitter’s dialogic capabilities. The findings will contribute to the understanding of
the dialogic potential of online social networks and offer guidance to colleges and universities.
Comics and the Future of Journalism, Isabel Macdonald, Concordia U

Presented at the following event:

6529. Comics as Journalism? Scholars, Educators, and Practitioners Reflect on the Exploding Field of Graphic
Reportage
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Isabel Macdonald's presentation will explore comics journalism’s significance in the context of the current crisis in
professional journalism. Her presentation begins by identifying some key themes in recent debates about the future of
journalism--from the challenge of funding journalism in the digital age; to the fundamental role of news media in
democracy; to the changing relationship between journalists and their audiences; to the increasingly contested status
of traditional professional values such as objectivity in the new media environment. Through an interactive visual
presentation featuring the work of Joe Sacco, Dan Archer, Susie Cagle and others, this presentation highlights the
intersections between the exploding field of graphic reportage and broader debates about the meaning of journalism,
and the role of journalists, in the new media landscape. The presentation also foregrounds the relationship between
comics journalism and current efforts by those Seth Lewis has referred to as “news innovators,” such as scholar and
“immersive journalism” practitioner Nonny de la Peña, to forge more transparent and multiperspectival approaches to
journalistic storytelling than traditional objectivity-bound notions of professionalism. The presentation will conclude
with reflections on comics journalism’s contributions to ongoing debates about the future of journalism, not least its
role in advancing a sophisticated critique of the shortcomings of mainstream journalism, while also reflecting on its
limitations as a vehicle for democratic debate about vital public issues.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Inarguably English has achieved a global status. More than 500 million people use English as their mother tongue.
Besides, more than 80 percent of the content on the Internet is written in English, although approximately 44 percent
of users of the Internet might not speak English as their mother tongue. Under the English dominance, non-native
English speakers cannot help feeling pressure to learn English to enter the playground in the name of globalization. In
order to examine this global tongue, I emphasize three main concepts in this paper: globalization, technology (esp.
television), and cultural complexity. I focus on how English has been commodified by being performed on public
television in South Korea. Since learning English as a second language is not only a fad but also a serious social
issue, I examine the relationship between public broadcasting systems and a dominant language of the world.

7223. Consumers and Users in ICTs
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The development of digital technology and computer networks has enabled many kinds of online collaboration. This
article examines Zimuzu, a Chinese case of online peer production, which provides an opportunity to extend our
understanding of how the tensions between the commodity and commons production models are being articulated in
an online setting. Using empirical evidence collected from face-to-face interviews, online posts and online
ethnographic observation, our analysis demonstrates that there is constant negotiation over which aspects of the two
seemingly opposing models will be adopted by the community. We argue that it is important to conceptualize the peer
production process as being influenced by power relations within and between the translation groups as well as
between the groups and other commercial organizations.

Museums lean heavily on recent developments in communication technologies to create an authentic experience for
online visitors of its galleries. In this study, we examine whether three specific affordances of communication
technology—customization, interactivity, and navigability—can provide the personal, social, and physical contexts,
respectively, that are necessary for ensuring an enjoyable museum experience. A 2 (presence vs. absence of
customizable gallery) x 2 (presence vs. absence of live-chat with others) x 2 (presence vs. absence of 3-D navigational
tool) between-subjects factorial experiment (N = 126) found that while each affordance is associated with distinct
psychological benefits (customization with sense of agency and control, interactivity with social presence and
reciprocity, and navigability with perceived reality), combining them on the same interface tends to undermine these
benefits. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Social network sites such as Facebook have become an increasingly important channel for fulfilling a wide range of
communication goals, including requesting help from one’s social network to address information needs. Using survey
data (N= 614) collected from non-academic staff at a large Midwestern University, we show how social capital,
network characteristics, and use of Facebook are related to how useful individuals find Facebook to be for
informational purposes and their propensity to seek different types of information on the site. We find that bridging
social capital and engagement with one’s network through directed communication behaviors are important predictors
of these dimensions of information behavior, and that there are a number of demographic and usage behavior
differences between those who engage in these behaviors and those who do not. Following presentation of results, we
discuss theoretical implications of our findings and offer suggestions for future research in this area.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper situates memory—personal, communicative, cultural, historical, and national—at the heart of the
Macedonian-Greek two-decade name conflict. Therefore, it argues that in order to understand the unusual dispute one
needs to scrutinize the politics of remembrance embedded in the countries’ national narratives, the citizens’ personal
memories, and the media portrayals—local, national, and international—over the past two decades. The inter-national
name conflict has significantly impacted the socio-economic progress of the region, and it has paralyzed Macedonian
progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration. The paper contextualizes the history of the name dispute within the
broader assertions about the Macedonian Question; it uses ethnographic data to show the different mental associations
the name Macedonia evokes for the citizens of Macedonia and Greece; and, it looks at how the media frames the
conflict through the metaphors of victim and victimizer.

Presented at the following event:

5541. Creating Community, Achieving Mission: Communication in Nontraditional Organizations
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Communication scholars have become increasingly interested in issues of globalization and the role that
communication research plays in theorizing global organizing and informing practices and policies. The term
“transnational” has become common to studies of migration, social identities, and social movement organizing, but
there is little investigation of the relationship between communication and transnational praxis. This study uses a case
study of an international non-governmental organization to examine how transnational praxis is embedded in the
structures and ethical consciousness of organizing. A transnational ethical consciousness is an engaged and critical
orientation that involves the negotiation of multiple borders through reflexivity, emergence, struggle, and
responsiveness. I argue that this more robust concept of transnational praxis from a communicative perspective is
useful in clarifying ambiguities, diversifying the field in more integrated ways, and translating communication
scholarship into practice.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Many global child development experts suggest that we think of children as full human beings in their own right: we
need to fully recognize children, in each stage of their development, as having unique needs and skills, as well as
personal voices that deserve to be listened to with respect and empathy. Children also differ in the access they have to
different forms and contents of media. Our accumulated knowledge about the role of media in children’s lives
suggests that they can have both positive as well as negative effects on children, depending on the content we fill them
with; the context in which they are enjoyed; the use we make of them; and the individual characteristics of the
children using them. This project focuses on the positive potential of media to improve children’s lives and bring
contributions and additional points of view from marginalized societies into the scholarly debate in our field.

The diffusion of nanotechnology will strongly depend on the attitude of the public towards this new (and in some
respects controversial) technology. As knowledge about nanotechnology is supposed to precede attitude formation,
some governments organize public debates about nanotechnology to enhance knowledge about nanotechnology. This
paper reports about the results of a Dutch project that was part of a ’National Dialogue’ in 2010. The project applied a
vignette approach to inform the Dutch public about possible (‘hard’ and ‘soft)’ impacts of nanotechnology. We
present three findings. First: results of a survey among 1164 participants of the project show that attitude towards
benefits of nanotechnology is independent from attitude towards its possible risks, although parties stressing benefits
tend to downplay risks, and vice versa. Second, and more importantly: providing the public with information does
change knowledge with regard to nanotechnology. People became more nuanced and developed a broader view of
nanotechnology. However, increasing knowledge did not result in a widespread optimism with regard to
nanotechnology: a significant number of people still is ambivalent, skeptic or outright pessimistic vis à vis
nanotechnology. Third: the attitude towards nanotechnology correlates with the way people think about the societal
control over the development of nanotechnology. People primarily seeing benefits and people primarily seeing risks,
have different ideas about how this control is and should be organized. The paper finishes by discussing some policy
implications of these results.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Since its inception, Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) has served as a cross-disciplinary framework for
understanding the adjustments individuals make to create, maintain, or decrease social distance in interactions. In this
article, we provide a systematic review of CAT by examining 149 articles (1973-2010) to identify categories and
trends in the contexts of inquiry, sample characteristics, and locus of assessment. Next, we summarize a meta-analysis
of a subset of these articles (k = 76, n = 18,382) to identify overall effect size and effect sizes for specific behaviors
(e.g., nonaccommodation, reluctant accommodation) and correlates of these behaviors (e.g., credibility, quality of
contact, relational solidarity). Results are framed within a discussion of theoretical and methodological considerations
for future research.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper begins from a recognition that neighborhood and policy discourses about South Los Angeles have
historically been characterized by a negative communicative tradition that emphasizes urban decline. With this in
mind, the USC Metamorphosis Project has launched a community-based research intervention we term
Communication Asset Mapping (CAM). While neighborhood interventions in disinvested communities like South LA
have generally focused on deficits and disorder, our practice builds a strengths-based platform which focuses on
communication assets that already exist within the neighborhood. This ecological framework analyzes the dynamic
interaction between networks of social interaction and urban spaces and places. It is participatory in nature, as it
merges observational research methodology of the communication environment with the perceptions of local residents
and practitioners. This paper outlines the rationale and methodological formation of this alternate approach, as well as
the implications of CAM for neighborhood storytelling, healthy community life, and urban policy formulation.

An understanding of the influence of intragenerational assumptions, through a social identity perspective and the use
of intragroup attribution theory, may benefit communication between individuals of different generational cohorts.
Through a review of characteristics common among each of the generations profiled—Baby Boomers, Generation
Xers, and Millennials—cohort theory is used to connect historical and societal trends to generational values.
Intragroup attribution theory is used to explore three foundational aspects of intergroup interaction in the workplace
related to: intergroup feelings of disrespect, generationally-based values related to work-life balance, and differences
in communication media choice. A better understanding of other cohorts’ lived experiences more contribute to more
positive attributions and increased accommodation can result. Suggestions for future research and practical
implications are presented.

The concept of communication ecology has emerged in the past decade as a favored metaphor for describing the
complex interconnections of media institutions, media flows, groups, and agents. We ask: what is “ecological” about
communication ecology? We briefly review major theories and research programs including media ecology in cultural
studies; population ecological models in organization theory (including Hannan’s fuzzy logic models); social network
models (organizational and meme-based); media dependency theory; field theory and new institutionalism; and
complexity theory. We argue against the view that the communication is “an” environment; rather, approaches to
formal ecological modeling in communication must pay close attention to the linkages between emerging forms of
communication and networked social structure itself. Finally, we offer one approach toward comparative case-driven
theory building of communication ecologies, drawing from both Ragin’s Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis
and Hannan’s alternative.

It is a truism that we live in an information age that is characterized by the generation and dissemination of an
enormous amount of information on a variety of topics transmitted across a range of delivery platforms. The sheer
existence of information and the availability of platforms of delivery, by themselves, mean little unless individuals,
institutions and social groups have the capacity to access, process and act on the information. While the broad
contours of the information revolution are not in question, what is in question is whether this capacity to capitalize on
the information revolution is shared uniformly across social groups and institutions or is it differentially endowed. It is
our contention that the capacity to access and use information, and the benefits accruing from the so called
information revolution are differentially endowed across individuals, social groups and institutions leading to
widening inequalities with important consequences for health. We will elucidate this phenomenon of communication
inequalities and its consequences for health disparities (TRHD) drawing on the work being done in our group raising
important and thorny questions about theory, measurement and implications for practice and policy.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

In the past decade, European media policy (researchers) witnessed several trends. First, a move from government to
governance created positions for researchers on government advisory councils. Second, growing stress on evidence-
based policies required more academic research. Third, increased emphasis on multi-stakeholder policy-making made
research of interest to ever more policy actors. These shifts brought researchers to the heart of the media policy
process, assisting policy makers, in return gaining better insight into the policy making process. At the same time,
academics’ position thus comes under increased pressure from stakeholders trying to (re)interpret or usurp research
outcomes and ideas, turning researchers (unwillingly) into “hired hands” for competing policy positions and material
interests. Taking the author’s membership of the Flemish Media Council as case in point, this contribution analyses
the question: does the new climate enhance academics to help create alternative policy agendas or merely to bring
cosmetic gains?

Communication researchers regularly seek to understand how messages evoke emotion as well as what effects they
might have on outcomes such as voting, deliberation, media consumption, interpersonal interaction, and persuasion.
Many current and previous studies conceptualize emotions as positive and negative despite overwhelming evidence
that this characterization is empirically inaccurate and theoretically counterproductive. This presentation considers
why this mistake is so persistent and what might be done to move research on communication and emotion is a more
fruitful direction.

Contemporary organizations continue to face the long-standing trend in which they are being transformed from
hierarchical to decentralized organizations. This period is often referred to as the "age of empowerment".
Organizations attempt to find ways to empower their employees and to encourage them to become more engaged in
their work. Communication in various forms may therefore get a more prominent role in organizations. A comparative
case study of organizational changes in three business organizations provides an analysis of the work of PR
practitioners. To what extent and if so, how, do PR practitioners adjust and adapt their work to this “age of
empowerment” phenomenon? The data reveal that although PR practitioners in all three organizations were involved
in communication about respective change it was only PR practitioners in one of the organizations that worked
actively and strategically to both engage employees in the present change process and to empower them.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Communication is considered to be one of the most essential components of collaboration, but our understanding as to
which form of communication provides the most optimal cost-benefit balance lacks severely. To help investigate
effects of various communication channels on a collaborative project, we conducted a user study with 30 pairs (60
participants) in three different conditions - co-located, remotely located with text chat, and remotely located with text
as well as audio chat, in an exploratory search task. Using multimodal data analysis, we found that teams with
remotely located participants were more effective in terms of being able to explore more diverse information. Adding
audio support for remote participants helped lower the cognitive load as well as various negative emotions compared
to those working in the same space. We also show how these findings could help design more effective systems for
collaborative information seeking tasks using adequate and appropriate communication.

6635. Communication and Civic Engagement
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Increasing population diversity has been identified as a reason behind declining civic engagement levels in the United
States. Using data collected from Anglo, Chinese and Latino residents of a multiethnic neighborhood in Los Angeles
County, this paper demonstrates that ethnic minorities do not necessarily have lower levels of civic engagement
compared to Anglos. However, analyses using structural equation modeling techniques reveal ethnic difference in the
paths to civic engagement. Among the communication variables investigated, interpersonal discussions about one's
neighborhood had the most consistent positive impact on civic engagement, whereas connection to local or ethnic
media for local news was found to negatively influence civic outcomes among Anglos and Chinese. Socio-
demographic variables predicted civic outcomes in different ways among different ethnic groups, and sometimes their
effects were partially mediated through the communication variables. The ethnically-bounded paths to civic
engagement identified by this study call for more in-depth future explorations.

6230. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Engaging the Different Contexts of Health Communication
Scholarship: From Micro to Meso to Macro
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study examined how communication with parents is related to body satisfaction among college students. One
hundred thirty-four participants completed a survey assessing body satisfaction, perceptions of communication with
mother, and perceptions of communication with father. Daughters’ body satisfaction was negatively correlated with
perceptions of problematic communication with parents. Sons’ body satisfaction was positively correlated with open
communication with their mothers and negatively correlated with problematic communication with their mothers.
Findings indicated problematic communication with mothers was the most powerful predictor of daughters’ body
satisfaction whereas open communication with mothers was the best predictor of sons’ body satisfaction.

Presented at the following event:

7131. Researching Communication Policy Revisited: Challenges in Times of Media Change and New Governance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Research has increasingly become an important tool for those in media reform/justice movements working at the
community, national and international level. In several academic sectors, such as law, scholarship and advocacy go
naturally hand in hand, but in communications this is a relatively new development. This discipline has historically
served as both a way station and sanctuary for scholars across a wide range of academic disciplines. Therefore a
reasonably tight linkage with advocacy and activist work is appropriate, necessary, and fruitful: Research can
strengthen and inform policy advocacy, policy analysis, media-making, community building, and infrastructure
development. And collaborative research can help to better target and structure research to pointedly address specific
problems. This contribution will highlight both the challenges and benefits of scholar/activist collaboration in the
context of policy research and policy-making, as well as offer examples of concrete projects in the field especially
from the US perspective.

5137. Best Practices in Creating and Sustaining Communities of Practice for Global Health
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The Knowledge for Health Project at Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs (K4Health)
utilizes virtual communities of practice (CoPs) to exchange information on global health topics via the Implementing
Best Practices Knowledge Gateway. The Knowledge Gateway offers a space to support virtual communities with
online discussions, libraries and other features. K4Health supports many communities that cover topics on
reproductive health and family planning. Attending large global conferences such as the 2011 International Family
Planning Conference in Senegal is impossible for many because of various constraints. With this in mind, K4Health
conducted a series of online discussion forums leading up to the conference to allow participants to delve deeper into
conference themes. The presenter will describe how CoPs are a low-cost knowledge management and exchange
solution and option for enhancing connections before and after a large conference.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Despite all the efforts universities and colleges put into facilitating a more diverse student and faculty body, the
scarcity of Hispanics in academia and the struggles they encounter once they join a department remains a problem for
administrators. As such, this study explored Hispanic faculty members’ perceptions of prejudice and discrimination.
Thirty in-depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with college professors from seven different
universities who self-identified as Hispanic. Using a qualitative grounded theory approach, specifically a constant
comparative method (Charmaz, 2000, 2006; Corbin & Strauss, 1990), this study uncovered two themes: (a) Hispanic
faculty experienced discrimination at a micro-level, and (b) Hispanic faculty experience discrimination at a meso-
level. In sum, prejudice and discrimination are still present in different formats in institutions of higher education and
this study is a way to keep the conversation floor open for ongoing and future policies regarding non-dominant groups
in academia.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Americans are relying more and more on social media, mobile technology and online news outlets to seek help and to
share information about their well-being after emergencies, according to two surveys conducted in June 2011 by the
American Red Cross. The surveys, one by telephone (n=1,011) and a second online survey (n=1,046), show that the
vast majority of Americans believe response organizations should be both monitoring social media during disasters
and acting quickly to help.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The present study seeks to understand how faculty members and students in online learning environments can
effectively utilize asynchronous and synchronous communication technologies to create community and foster
collaboration. The decision to create a general communication course online led to the authors having to address
questions regarding the nature of oral presentations, how to develop engagement between participants, build
community and foster collaboration, and make the technology work for us rather than make us work for the
technology. The paper describes how those problems were addressed and offers recommendations to others who wish
to create an online course that builds community and fosters collaboration. Finally, the authors offer future directions
of study in this area.

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Transnational social movements are increasingly prominent political actors. In their struggles against established
orthodoxies such as free-trade multilateralism they are innovating new citizenship practices and emergent forms of
public action. An example of one such actor is La Via Campesina (‘the peasant way’), a network of 150 rural peoples’
organizations in 70 countries in the Global North and South. This global community of smallholder farmers
campaigns against the industrial agricultural system under the banner of food sovereignty. This study interrogates the
capacity of the food sovereignty concept to construct a newly imagined global rural citizenry.It is concerned
specifically with the role of communication in the constitution, development and maintenance of the global
community of peasant farmers as a “community of choice”, as opposed to a “community of fate” (Drache, 2008). It
explores how transnational solidarity originates in local contexts, bound to the national, through a comparative study
of the communication campaigns of three La Via Campesina member organizations in Chile, Mexico and Spain.

Presented at the following event:

6539. Top Papers in Public Relations
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This quantitative comparative online survey assessed internal and external dimensions of the social roles of Latin
American public relations practitioners in 10 countries (N = 612). The study is based on previous conceptualization
and research in Brazil and Colombia. Results indicated that the parsimonious social roles scale is a reliable measure,
reflecting how professionals in the region act as part of the social conscience of their organizations. The scale holds
potential for future international inquiry. Factor analysis, analysis of variance, and multiple analyses of variance were
run to further explore the construct and compare the results among participating countries. Brazilian, Costa Rican, and
Venezuelan participants expressed higher evaluation for social role tasks than the other seven countries’ participants.
Participants from Guatemala and Panama rated the social roles indicators the lowest. Overall, the internal social role
factor obtained higher means scores than the external factor indicating than employees are a priority.
Comparative Study of Crisis Communication Strategies Between Mainland China and Taiwan in the Chinese Context:
A Double-Case Study of Melamine-Tainted Milk Powder Crisis, Joanne Chen Lu, The Chinese University of Hong
Kong

Presented at the following event:

6339. Top Student Papers in Public Relations
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to identify and compare the crisis communicative strategies (CCSs) that
organizations used to respond to a congenetic melamine-tainted milk crisis in two Chinese societies (i.e., mainland
China and Taiwan), and (2) to explore the underlying political, media-system reasons that led to the differences.
Content analysis and discourse analysis of media coverage were used. The most significant finding is that Sanlu ( a
Mainland China-based organization) and KingCar (a Taiwan-based organization) demonstrated inverse pattern of the
CCSs adoption. Specifically, according to Coombs and Holladay's (2001) defense-accommodation continuum, Sanlu's
CCSs moved from defensive pole to accommodative pole as time went by; in contrast, KingCar started with
accommodative strategies and moved towards defensive pole gradually. In addition, how different political and media
systems create different post-crisis social contexts for the organizations facing crisis and further influences their CCS
selection were discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This study focuses on the cross-cultural comparison of the public rhetorics that construct HIV/AIDS in two online
discussion forums from the United States and China. Social constructions of HIV/AIDS have previously been
explored in specific countries and cultures; however, comparative studies have rarely been conducted. This study
examines how online communications and topoi identified in discussion forum posts reveal and construct the meaning
of HIV/AIDS in the two countries. Through comparing the predominant themes in the two forums, 5 major similar
boards from each forum (10 in total) were selected. From there, a topoi analysis on 100 most-responded posts (10
posts from each of the 10 boards) demonstrates how specific reasoning traditions shape the cultural mindset for
constructing HIV/AIDS in certain ways. The findings suggest while Chinese participants view contracting AIDS as
fate and social death, the U.S. participants do not share this intense concern with moral criticism.

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Many studies have been carried out to determine the effects of displayed violence in digital games on aggressive
behavior and physiological arousal. It is common in experimental designs for participants to play either a violent or a
different, non-violent game. However, violent content is usually not the only dimension on which these games differ.
This raises the issue of possibly confounded variables that make findings difficult to interpret as the effects can be
attributed to more than one factor. To explore this issue, we conducted a study in which the displayed violence and
game speed of a first-person shooter were manipulated systematically through modification (modding), while other
variables were controlled. Results show interaction effects between both manipulations on measures of physiological
arousal thus underlining the importance of controlling potentially confounding variables in digital games effects
research and pointing to modding as a potential solution for this problem.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Two national campaigns – My Anti-Drug and Above the Influence – have been implemented to prevent youth
substance-use. Although Above the Influence was conceptualized as a major shift in messaging from My Anti-Drug,
no studies have reported head-to-head tests of message effects on behavior-relevant outcomes. An experiment was
conducted in which participants viewed ads from one of the campaigns and answered questions about ad appeal and
emotional tone; campaign appeal; and marijuana-related beliefs. Compared to My Anti-Drug ads, Above the
Influence ads were associated with more positive emotional tone and with lower perceptions of marijuana risk.
Implications for message design and evaluation are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The current study shows that factors predicting support for nanotechnology and nuclear energy– risk/benefit
perceptions, attention, and views about risk managers – are quite similar. However, the results also show that these
variables do a better job explaining nuclear energy than nanotechnology, suggesting that nanotechnology remains
relatively ill defined in the public mind. Respondents saw nanotechnology as less risky than nuclear energy and paid it
less attention; however, they were more supportive of current nanotechnology policy directions. The survey found
little evidence that Americans see a difference between the perceived fairness of nanotechnology and nuclear risk
managers. The study uses a probability based, split-sample survey of Americans where half received questions about
nanotechnology and half received nearly identical questions about nuclear energy.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This case study attempted to find attitudinal underpinnings of ideological disagreements among a single newspaper’s
journalists and advertising salespeople. Literature suggests that these employee groups have historically been in
conflict. The researcher hypothesized that such friction is caused by differences in employees’ attitudes. Building on a
previously successful study of newspaper journalists’ identifications, the researcher used a standardized instrument to
survey employees at one Northern California, mid-sized daily newspaper, measuring their strength of identification
with organization, profession and department. While this study found no significant differences between editorial
employees’ identifications or between editorial and advertising employees’ identifications, advertising employees
surveyed identified significantly more strongly with their profession than with their organization. Interactions between
professional tenure and departmental identification were also found, as long-term newspaper employees identified
significantly stronger with their department than did mid-term employees.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Since late 1990s, Internet Governance has been constructed as an experiment in multistakeholder governance of global
resources. At the conclusion of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) (2005), the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF) was inaugurated on that principle. In this study, the above-sketched developments guide the critical
discourse analysis of ideological models and strategies espoused by stakeholders participating in the IGF debates
(2005 – 2010). Theoretical insights are presented as generated by scholars in Political Science and in
Interorganizational and Management studies. The focused analysis of “access” discussion at IGF reveals, first, the
diversity of stakeholder views on governance aspects in that area and on levels of responsibility, and, second, the
apparent North-South “digital divide” reappearing at the IGF.

6327. Explaining Cross-National Differences in News: The Influence of State, Market, and Professionalism
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This empirical study is based on a cross-national analysis of the American, British, German, Swiss, French and Italian
news reporting. The paper asks how the print media construct political reality. In order to compare country-specific
patterns of political news reporting, dependent variables like opinion-orientation, objectivity, media negativity, and
the use of sources are discussed and connected to macro- and meso-level explanatory factors. The results, gained
through variance analysis and correspondence analysis, show that the U.S. press is least opinion-orientated, whereas
opinion-orientation and thematic-framing is more common in France, Italy and Switzerland. American and German
journalists are most objective, while Italian journalists apply the least objective reporting style. Moreover, Italian and
French news stories are most negative, compared to Swiss and German news articles that are least negative. Further,
the Italian press focuses the most on political elite sources, whereas the U.S. press concentrates the most on individual
sources. In sum, our findings show that the American and Italian reporting styles can be considered as extreme cases.
American journalists apply a more objective, factual and episodic reporting style, whereas their Italian counterparts
represent a more opinion-oriented, polarized and negative journalism.

7124. Interacting With a Medium
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Nass and Moon (2000) explained that the most plausible mechanism for the computer are social actors (CASA) effect
is Langer, Blank, and Chanowitz’s (1978) notion of mindlessness. According to Langer et al., mindlessness stems
from a motivational deficit, which has not been employed when evaluating the CASA mechanism. In an effort to test
the mechanism of mindlessness on compliance behavior, we conducted an original experiment employing a 3 (Request
Type: direct, placebic, or sufficient) x 2 (Motivation: high vs. low request size) design. We expect higher compliance
rate from placebic and sufficient requests when receiver motivation is low. When receiver motivation is high,
sufficient request is hypothesized to have higher compliance rate than the other two requests conditions. The data do
not completely support the hypothesized request by motivation interaction. However, some observed patterns suggest
trending toward the hypothesized direction. Discussion and improvement for future studies are provided.

Presented at the following event:

5255. Extended Session: Talk in and for Action: Connecting Communities Through Discourse
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Cancer diagnoses are arguably sites of transition and struggle that are constructed in communicative form and, as
such, are spaces where communal coping may be identified and understood as a means of how patients and families
deal with cancer collectively. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a more complex theoretical understanding
of communal coping within health and family communication research. Sixty-four interviews with family members,
who have coped with breast cancer, were conducted. Framed by relational dialectics theory (RDT), data were
analyzed for discursive struggle and competition via a contrapuntal analysis. The results revealed that communal
coping was not highly prevalent in family member constructions of a breast cancer experience. Individual coping by
female breast cancer survivors was complemented by displays of traditional social support offered by spouses and
other family members. Implications regarding communal coping conceptualizations, limitations, and directions for
future research are discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Computer game modding (from modifying) sits at the confluence of several important issues: digital skills, play,
community, making, and remixing. Yet, relatively little academic work has explored the motivations and sense of
community that modders have. This study is the first quantitative survey of game modders, and combines quantitative
survey data with qualitative interview material. Although the sample was not a random sample, findings suggest that
modders are both old and young, mod more than one game or game series, have a strong sense of community, and
enjoy helping others in their modding community. A large number of respondents had contributed to other mods or
had co-authored mods, and some modding communities may function as online collaboratories. Although some
narratives stress how modders hope to get jobs in the gaming industry, overall the industry was not a motivator for
most respondents.

5122. Knowledge and Expertise: Communication in the Management and Performance of Knowledge
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This study applies evolutionary theory to the study of an organizational communication problem – the cooperation in
response to novel knowledge claims in epistemic communities. The problem is articulated as one of appropriate rules
for selecting claims in process of variation, selection, and retention. It is argued that to avoid being over-run by
unreliable variations, the community must select for testable claims. To achieve testability, it is then argued that the
community will legitimate concepts that have clear implications and definitions within the community. It is
hypothesized that this process of conceptual legitimation will follow the predictions of density dependence theory.
The hypotheses are then tested on data from a particular epistemic community comprised of physicists investigating
the string theoretic topic “D-branes.” Results suggest support for density dependence in concept use.

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

By comparing different modes of a government structure network, and ultimately using them to generate an indexed
multiplex network, this paper has both methodological and substantive implications. Methodologically, it advocates
for increased use of multiplexity in organizational network analyses. Substantively, it seeks to shed light on the
otherwise difficult to perceive relationships between government entities. With its similarities to indexed construct
measurement and methodological triangulation, we show that multiplexity can help researchers reduce systematic bias
within organizational network studies. Using this method we show that budget is a strong predictor of connectivity
within the US federal government network, and that strongly connected cliques exist amongst government entities.
Conflict Avoidance as Competent Communication, Satomi Nakatsugawa, Hamamatsu U

Presented at the following event:

5552. Conflict? What Conflict? Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Japanese Conflict Communication Strategies
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Japanese people prefer to keep conflict undercover, i.e. the partner is not informed that s/he perceives a conflict in a
given relationship. Markus and Kitayama’s (1991) cultural self-construals may provide an explanatory framework for
non-explicit Japanese communication styles. Japanese people may prefer indirect, avoiding strategies to conflict
because of their predominant interdependent self-construal, which accentuates the need for relational harmony over
individual needs. While previous approaches see explicit strategies to be the only resolution, and non-explicit
strategies as ineffective avoidance of the problem, the fact that so many Japanese use non-explicit strategies on a
regular basis suggests that there is some sort of constructiveness to them. This presentation proposes a new model
based on the explicit/non-explicit strategy axis, and examines the perceptions behind how the Japanese respond to
conflict situations and the influence of interpersonal competence on non-explicit conflict strategies.
Conflict Styles as Predictors of Cooperation, Directness, and Relational Satisfaction in Romantic Couples: A Dyadic

Presented at the following event:

5251. Interpersonal Conflict
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study investigated used dyadic analysis to examine associations between conflict styles cooperation, directness,
and relational satisfaction in romantic couples. Findings showed that collaborating and yielding styles were rated as
cooperative, whereas indirect fighting and competitive fighting were perceived as uncooperative. Collaborating,
compromising, and to a lesser extent, competitive fighting were perceived as direct, whereas yielding, avoiding, and
indirect fighting were viewed as indirect. Findings also illustrate that cooperation and satisfaction function differently
in relation to conflict since yielding is associated with cooperation but not satisfaction, and compromising is
associated with satisfaction but not cooperation. Relational satisfaction was also negatively related to actor reports of
indirect fighting and partner reports of competitive fighting. Actor reports of the avoiding style interacted with partner
reports of indirect and competitive fighting to predict satisfaction. Finally, contrary to past work, no significant sex
differences emerged for any of the conflict styles.
Confronting Market Failure: Toward a Social Democratic View of Media, Victor W. Pickard, U of Pennsylvania

Presented at the following event:

6238. Extended Session: Media, Markets, and Democracy
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The policies that structure U.S. media—with its tendencies toward oligopoly control and excessive commercialism—
stand as a poignant reminder of what happens when communication infrastructure is left largely to market governance.
This systemic vulnerability becomes most clear during times of crisis when endemic tensions give way to overt market
failure. Hence, the current journalism crisis, which validates much long-standing structural criticism of commercial
media systems, serves as both a cautionary tale and a rare opportunity for removing profit pressures from news media.
This position paper submits that strategic government intervention in the journalism crisis can go far in actualizing a
more democratic media system.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Whereas corporations were previously focused on their products and services to increase their competitiveness in
markets, they are now facing the challenge of getting involved in the development of communities. Corporate brands
are now focusing on the impact they have on society and on the environment, increasing their communication function
in order to establishing relations with governments and other public institutions. This new approach, named
‘Corporate Citizenship’ (Altman and Vidaver-Cohen, 2000; Andriof and McIntosh, 2001; Matten and Crane, 2005),
implies that corporate brands have the responsibility to communicate their company’s identity, and, more specifically,
their mission, vision, values and ethical commitments to their stakeholders as well as to society in general. The
challenge is even greater if it is regarded that the financial crisis is making citizens even more critical and skeptical
toward corporations’ behaviors; sometimes, CSR messages can have a rebuttal effect, generating negative attitudes on
stakeholders. In the light of these challenges, this paper analyzes the relation between corporate brand and CSR
(corporate social responsibility) strategies, trying to assess how companies can better portray their identity as that of a
‘corporate citizen’. The analysis is based on case studies with data collected through eight in-depth interviews with
senior managers of multinational Spanish companies representing 80% of IBEX 35. Results show that global
companies communicating their values and their CSR activities are being more competitive than those that do not
undertake these activities. Ultimately, this study highlights the challenges and pitfalls for portraying ‘corporate
citizenship’.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

The headline from a 2009 UK newspaper read, “Girls trapped in storm drain use Facebook to call for help…instead of
calling emergency services.” Luckily, a schoolmate saw the status update and summoned aid. Stories like this share a
common thread: people in trouble turn to what they believe is the quickest way to get help -- their preferred social
media tool. This same social media technology has spawned numerous community volunteer efforts that have been
instrumental in adding vital and accurate information used by first responders. Additionally, growing networks of
communities want to assist in times of emergency, and they are using social media tools to organize and deliver aid.
Consciousness Awakens: Arts of Testament in Documentaries of Vietnam, James S. Ettema, Northwestern U

6153. Representing "Reality": The Complex and Messy World of Documentary Production
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

The arts of testament are the creation of artistic or conceptual structures of consciousness through the representation
of experience. While the reality of warfare has always tested human ability to create meaningful structures,
documentary makers – whether considered journalists or artists – have vigorously challenged the apparent
incommunicability of war. The focus here is on two important documentaries concerning the Unites States’
involvement in Vietnam that raise their challenge to incommunicability through the artful assembly of testimony
offered by members of the military and the antiwar movement. Produced twenty years apart in two distinct socio-
cultural periods after the conflict, these visual documents continue to speak compellingly through the moments in
which the consciousness of those who testify comes dramatically awake.

This article introduces the construal level theory of context-aware technology, synthesizing previous literature to
present 8 theoretical propositions. We propose that context-aware technology is uniquely suited to deliver messages
that shift construal level orientation, bridge construal level perception of choice, and traverse psychological distance
from choice. Together these message functions facilitate the integration of construal level theory within mobile health
interventions and offer pathways to predict message success and counter message resistance.

7242. Extended Session: Coming Together: Online, Offline, and Transmedia Studies of GLBT/Q Politics and
Representation
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This paper reports findings from a case study of the Philippine lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual
national political party, Ladlad, and their engagement of online new media for political mobilization. It explores how
the movement engages online spaces to mobilize a collective political force amidst diversity. The paper argues that by
revisiting queer theory and by examining the experiences and strategies of Ladlad, a collective entity can be seen as
developing through identification, belonging, and support in online spaces that act as sites of resistance to the sources
of oppressive power for LGBTs. These sites surface new forms of political discourse that alter the quality of debate
between the group, the dominant culture, the Catholic church, other political actors, and the State, aid in the
reconfiguration of citizenship, and challenge preconceived limits of sexuality and identity as basis for social and
political formations.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

In 2006, Germany hosted its first FIFA men’s World Cup since reunification. National media campaigns were rolled
out in Germany in a coordinated effort to use the wave of enthusiasm for one of the world’s largest and most popular
sporting events to usher in a new era of patriotism. The desire for a renewed German pride has long been stymied by
the specters of German nationalisms of the past. Where past efforts had failed, the 2006 World Cup finally succeeded
in breaking the taboo against the public expression of overt national pride. This paper will examine the process by
which hosting this sporting spectacle created the conditions to transform the nation’s relationship to its national
symbols. In particular, it will focus on the media’s role in using the event to encourage historical amnesia and to
cultivate new collective memories to define German national identity under the banner of “soccer patriotism.”

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

As digital media provide political campaigns with new channels of dissemination and affordances, the political and
civic behaviors highlighted and fostered in digital texts may also be changing. The increasingly popular medium of the
microsite (a smaller website or single page produced by and connected to an organization, but containing a different
web address) is one such space in which shifts in campaign content contain new possibilities for how people act
politically, encounter political information, and enact ideals of citizenship. This article traces how microsites do so in
three conceptual steps. First, it traces the ideas of citizenship currently operating within political communication
research, and their applicability to the contemporary media landscape. Second, it analyzes changing norms of political
messaging within microsites. Finally, it examines how these changes allow for and foster a form of “skeptical
citizenship” in which individuals are encouraged to question the political information they encounter.
Constructing the Net: How Cable News Coverage Articulates Meaning for the Net Neutrality Debate, Brant Burkey, U
of Oregon

Presented at the following event:

7231. New Media and Models for Understanding Content and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

A complex negotiation of meaning is taking place to define the boundaries of public access to the Internet, which has
led to the controversial concept of network neutrality. While much academic literature has been devoted to the
subject, it is often explained in terms of the technical, regulatory, legal, and economic implications. What is largely
absent from the discussion is how the media themselves construct preferred meaning for the public by articulating a
dominant discourse in their coverage of the net neutrality debate. Informed by critical social theory, this study
attempts to close this gap by conducting an ideological analysis of cable news coverage to discover what dominant
discourse and ideology emerges regarding the issue of net neutrality, raising questions about the role the media play in
the construction of meaning over an issue that could have far-reaching implications for anyone who engages with the
Internet.

6621. Building Community Through Communication in Political and Public Sector Organizations
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Drugs consumption has shown to be harmful for the construction of communities. However, relations between drugs
consumption and social communication (prevention) and the effects over the community's psychological and
sociological aspects have not been sufficiently highlighted in the area of communication (Leahy, et al. 2011).
Institutional health communication in preventing additions is being increasingly developed: public institutions are
developing new programs in this field, using the new tools provided by the web 2.0 (Estévez, 2010), and thus
innovating health public speech. This research presents the methodology and results of the communication campaign
developed by authors of this paper for the government of La Rioja (a Spanish region) in the aim to prevent
consumption of cocaine among teens. Conceptually this communication campaign meant to change the classic
paradigm based on the idea "sender - receiver". The new theoretical model is based on highly interactive and
participatory schemes, employing social media as a tool for creating and disseminating messages (Menéndez &
Cuesta, 2011). Under this model, the government is not a ‘sender’, but acts as an initiator and mediator throughout the
whole process. Results, obtained through quantitative and qualitative methods (questionnaires and focus groups)
applied both to young people and their parents, show that this approach is much more effective than classic one-way
campaigns

6135. Participatory, Promotional Cultures: "Sharing" and Self-Representation in the Contemporary Media Moment
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Digital technologies are transforming audiences and media practices. With the arise of Web 2.0 and its social
platforms the way internet users communicate, search for information and express themselves is changing. The new
media practices resulting from the possibilities offered by the technological development are characterized by
participation, creativity and sharing. Lawrence Lessig has proposed "remix" as one of the main outcomes of social and
cultural practices enabled by new technologies that allow for easy production and sharing. But this surge of creativity
and participation poses new challenges to the industry and to the study of audiences. Based in a mixed methodology,
composed of the analysis of data collected through quantitative online survey and a qualitative focus group approach,
this paper will then offer a case study of Portuguese College students’ serialized participatory culture regarding
television series.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

A recent trend in television and movies is the casting of older women who have bodies that are the shapes and sizes of
much younger women. These “cougars” can be found in shows such as Cougar Town and Desperate Housewives, and
may influence midlife women’s body-related concerns. For this study, participants were midlife women (M: 46.58
years) who completed an online questionnaire that asked about body ideals, disordered eating, food choices, relational
satisfaction, and exposure to cougar-oriented programming. Results demonstrate that viewing these media was
associated with stronger reports of disordered eating, greater discrepancies between actual body size and women’s
perceptions of how others wanted them to look, stricter food choices when around other people, and higher relational
satisfaction for those with anxiety about aging. Our study helps build on existing research related to social cognitive,
self-discrepancy, and social comparison theories, in addition to building on the extant work related to media
consumption, body concerns, and relational outcomes of a non-college-aged sample.

7231. New Media and Models for Understanding Content and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Changes in media technologies have led to changes in the ways information is produced and consumed. Some of
these changes have created advantages for information consumers, who can play a greater role in the production of
information and have increased control over the sources and issues to which they are exposed. However, changes in
the media environment have also made it more difficult for information consumers to evaluate information credibility
and made it easier for them to reinforce their attitudes through selective exposure. This paper discusses the shift
toward subjectivity in news, the credibility of user-generated news content, selective exposure, and possible negative
effects of partisan news.

Content for mobile phones is a vivid field of research: The disconnectedness of time and space limits provides a
unique framework for content production, taking into account the special circumstances in which the content is used,
combined with the limitations of the display of a mobile phone. The study focuses on key events, a classic situation
for the development and testing of innovations in communication technology. The World Cup 2006, as a European top
media event, serves as a first step in the direction of mobile content development, followed by the European Football
Championship in 2008 and the World Cup in 2010. During all three events, content which was offered for mobile
phone users in Germany was recorded and analyzed. In addition, interviews with content producers were conducted.
As content offers changed fundamentally over the period of time, a quantitative content analyses was made for each of
the three events. Newly development content formats, produced especially for the particular event, were analyzed
qualitatively as well. This multi-method study, analyzing content for mobile phones over the period of four years,
shows a development starting with content production by telecommunication operators, which is taken over by
professional content producers, as media professionals, e.g. newspapers and TV- and radio-broadcasting stations. The
content itself changes from a simple 1:1 take-over of TV content to a variety of manifold content offers. For sports
journalism, a new form of mobile content is developed, compensating e.g. a limited visual language with more
elaborated audio comments. With “mobile journalism”, a hybrid form between television and radio journalism is
created. Entertainment content is changing as well: from a 1:1 take-over of TV entertainment to more participative
forms of entertainment, taking into account the interactive potentials of mobile devices, e.g. in creating games. Live
content is complemented by on-demand services, like archives of video clips which can be used asynchronously
during the period of the four weeks of every examined key event. Developing from a mere testing program in 2006,
mobile content has become a channel of production of almost every professional media content producer in Germany
by the time of the World Cup 2010. The further development of mobile content today uses experiences made during
the three key events and sheds light on the question, which kind of content will be adequate for users which are
mobile in time and space for the first time in the history of media usage.
Contested Meanings of "Community" Among Elders: Insiders' and Outsiders' Attitudes Towards Organized
Retirement Village Living, Mary Louisa Simpson, U of Waikato; George Cheney, Kent State U; Celia Kay Weaver, U

Presented at the following event:

5541. Creating Community, Achieving Mission: Communication in Nontraditional Organizations
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Formal organizations as social phenomena provide meaning and identity in a social world increasingly dominated by
the organizational experience. Retirement villages as corporate organizations construct villages materially and
symbolically as "community." When organization meets community in this domain, meanings of organization and
community merit examination because residents co-produce the village. These issues are relevant to elders more
generally, because as potential residents they are targets of retirement village organizations' promotional activities.
Using critical discourse analysis and rhetorical criticism, this paper explores residents' and potential residents’
experiences of community with reference to retirement village living and commonly understood notions of
community. We examined data from focus groups with residents and non-residents (elders aged 55-years and over).
While, non-resident elders tended to focus on the physically segregated features of villages and role of the
organisation in constituting the village, residents focused on membership and relationships, with little reference to
organizational roles.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Against the background of human information processing and the functionality of heuristics, this study examines the
effect of the context on viewers’ perceptions and judgments after news reception. In contrast to a frame, contexts are
not part of the message itself, although they are usually presented with the news. As a prototypic context, we examine
the effect of the logo of a broadcasting station on the perceived credibility and the quality of specific news items. In
our experiment, we found a positive relationship between the logo and viewers’ perceptions: Although all participants
had seen identical news items, the logo still influences whether recipients perceive the news as credible or highly
qualitative. This result is discussed against different backgrounds from Sociology, Psychology and Media Economics.

Scholars have argued that communal coping, or individuals assuming joint responsibility for a stressor and acting on it
as a collective, serves an important stress reduction function. Yet, there are few quantitative tests of this claim. The
purpose of this study was to examine communal coping as a stress moderator and the conditions under which it
enhances psychological well-being. Using a cross-sectional survey of 118 parent-adolescent dyads, the results of a
series of multi-level models indicated that communal coping was a significant stress moderator, but only for parents.
Additional analyses, however, revealed that the degree to which communal coping contributes to psychological well-
being for parents and adolescents depends upon the family’s living conditions and access to community support. The
results also suggest that communal coping contributes to psychological well-being above and beyond individual active
coping and social support. Finally, a new fifteen item Communal Coping Scale (CCS) was developed.

The study examines the patterns of inter-media influence during the diffusion of news about three collective actions in
China. We unpack the “authoritarian regime effect” on news diffusion by contextualizing the analysis of news flows
on Chinese news websites along three dimensions: bureaucratic hierarchy, institutional connections with conventional
news organizations, and geographic variation due to journalistic status and strategy. The diffusion patterns are further
mediated by the nature of collective action events. The study contributes to the discussion on inter-media influence in
an authoritarian environment and offers nuanced understandings on the dynamic among news organizations,
information technology, journalistic professionalism and the state control in China.

An experiment was conducted to examine the influence of the audio, video, and audiovisual channels of television
messages on continuous self-reported experience of arousal, positive, and negative emotions. The results of the study
provide an initial step toward explaining how the structure and content of the audio and video channels of television
independently and interactively influence motivational activation and emotional experience. The results indicate that
channel and message independently and interactively influence the emotional experience of arousal. Similarly,
positive emotional experience is interactively influenced by channel and message, but most significantly influenced by
message. Specific message content, however, appeared to be the only significant determinant of negative emotional
experience.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Studies on convergence have often focused on television stations and newspapers forming a cooperative relationship,
where each shares content with the other and thus promotes that partnership. Now television stations across the
country and are changing this convergence model by forming what’s called the Local News Pool or LNP for short.
This partnership means competing television stations within a single market are sharing content such as video and
interviews on a daily basis in an effort to create more stories while allowing for additional enterprise reporting. This
model adds a new layer to gatekeeping theory where four competing gatekeepers are making news decisions for the
group. The present study uses depth interviews to explore how the LNP is changing this decision making process and
possible future implications.

Family members and friends are known to be important sources of social influence when cancer patients are deciding
whether to participate in experimental treatments (i.e., clinical trials). Unfortunately, conversations with family and
friends about this topic have not been systematically studied. Drawing on Goldsmith’s (2004) normative perspective,
the current study fills this gap by exploring the meanings and dilemmas associated with conversations between rural,
Appalachian cancer patients and members of their social network about treatment choices. The rural, Appalachian
context is of particular theoretical interest because of prevailing cultural ideals in the region that encourage the
participation of nuclear and extended family in health decisions.

NGOs have been recognized as pioneers in democratization, battling diseases and illnesses, promoting and enforcing
human rights, and increasing standards of living (Duke NGO Research Guide, 2009) in large parts of the world.
Advances in communication technology have furthered the growth of NGOs by enabling individuals to take part in
sophisticated instantaneous global communications (Willetts, 2002). This study examined an emerging area of
communication, the social media—blogs, Twitter and Facebook--use of 10 international development NGOs from
four focus areas—poverty, health, human rights and children’s rights. The results indicated that the NGOs have yet to
fully integrate the use of these three forms into a comprehensive social media strategy. While they have an active
presence in the blogosphere, their use of Twitter and Facebook leaves much to be desired. Therefore, NGOs would
benefit greatly by dedicating more resources to monitoring and boosting their Twitter and Facebook presence.

This paper argues that Conversation Analysis (CA) has much to offer studies of online interactions and particularly
online, participatory journalism. CA provides a methodological opportunity to closely investigate for instance the
structure of public discourse in new media platforms and power relations between journalists and audiences in
practices of participatory journalism. The paper introduces CA and discusses how it may be combined with other
methods in order to pinpoint the characteristics of online interactions in general and participatory journalism in
particular. In the second half of the paper the methodological approach used to analyse a case of participatory
journalism in the Norwegian online newspaper VG Nett is presented.

While feminism is an heterogeneous and complex ideological perspective, mainstream news media has routinely
portrayed it in simplistic terms and as social deviance. Within a context of increasing visibility of public women in the
political arena —many of them self-proclaimed feminists— this study examines and illustrates the ideological
struggle for defining “feminism” in mediated discourse. A textual analysis of textual analysis more than 200 news
websites stories from 2007 to 2011 shows how the this struggle for meaning centers on women in the political public
sphere. In doing so, this paper addresses the consequences of such coverage for women and gender equality.

Buffering Theory has been used to explain how perceived social support functions to manage stress, but this study
also explores the use of humor related self-disclosure as a means of enhancing social support. College students (N =
254; 61% male) in either a close friendship (n = 144) or romantic relationship (n = 110) anonymously completed a
questionnaire about their use of humor to self-disclose, perceived social support, and global stress levels. Path
analysis indicates that individuals with a higher humor orientation use humor more to self-disclose, thus enhancing the
perceived availability of social support, and subsequently reducing stress.

Science blogs are widely lauded as potentially powerful tools for risk and crisis communication, but many academic
bloggers seem to use them merely for scholarly discussion. This study analyzes how two acute events, the Fukushima
nuclear disaster and an E. coli epidemic in Germany, were covered by science bloggers and what reactions from
readers they received. Readers’ comments showed a strong need for interaction and discussion, which appeared most
clear-cut on blogs that mediated events for a general audience. The complexity and tone of a blog post impact the
readership, with more high-brow comments leading to a more academic discussion. Science bloggers can thus steer
what role their posts should play during a crisis, and the analysis shows that some do this in a very responsible way.

A website is considered to be the centrepiece of a company’s information gateway on the one hand, but is also an
object particularly vulnerable to copyright infringement on the Internet on the other. This paper addresses the
copyright challenges encountered by the website design industry in Hong Kong and explores whether the existing
copyright laws and policy are adequately equipped to deal with those challenges. A questionnaire survey was
administered to 203 creative directors in Hong Kong to get an understanding of the status of copyright infringement
and copyright awareness, as well as the sufficiency of the self-protection and legal protection measures available to
the industry. The survey results discussed here have far-reaching implications for copyright protection in the digital
environment.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Scholars have long examined the antecedents and implications of corporate reputation, and emerging markets have
gradually come into the limelight with the expansion of multinational companies. However, we assert that mainstream
corporate reputation scholarship rarely problematizes contextual particularities and alternative subaltern logics of
either “corporate reputation” or “emerging markets.” This restricts the constitutive role of communication, ignoring
the socio-politico-economic implications of corporate reputation and reifying “emerging markets” as ever-transitional
“backward” sites. We draw on the culture-centered approach (Dutta, 2011) here, to review and critique how corporate
reputation and emerging markets are constructed in the mainstream literature, and suggest five broad directions for
future communication research. In particular, we suggest de-centering the corporation to examine alternative
perspectives, problematizing State-firm intersections, studying how deliberative processes of the public sphere are
implicated, examining how corporate reputation constitutes strategic management styles, and adopting academic
reflexivity while being cautious about “participation.”

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The multidisciplinary discourse on CSR and social media is dominated by functional and critical-normative
approaches, which both tend to take organization centered and technology-deterministic perspectives. Based on that,
CSR and Social Media are each for itself regarded as fruitful instruments for social engineering, and even more in its
combination (CSR Communication via Social Media). So far, a descriptive perspective on CSR and social media
based CSR Communication is underexplored. This conceptual paper reviews existing literature and develops a
descriptive framework to analyze the forms, dynamics and consequences of social media based communication
between corporations and civil society. It combines the CCO-Perspective (Communication Constitutes Organizations)
with the recently developed Network Perspective on PR (“Network Agenda Building”, “Network Public Sphere”). It
theorizes, how social media refines communication, institutionalization processes and herewith the corporate
responsibilities by taking changes on the individual level (interpersonal networks, moral identity), the organizational
level (organizational networks, corporate identity) and the public level (publics & media, institutional networks) into
account. This theoretical perspective outlines the limitations of social media on organizational legitimacy, the
dependencies of social media content on traditional news (agenda setting, framing) and relativizes positive-
functionalist as well as critical-normative assumptions on dialogue, interactivity, authenticity or trustworthiness.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly significant fixture in a business world where simply
doing business falls short of stakeholder’s expectations. In today’s competitive world, acting responsibly is no longer
optional. The study aims to understand how CSR is being defined through its communication on organizational Web
sites. Fourteen companies on the 100 Best Corporate Citizens List published by the Corporate Responsibility Officer
(CRO) were compared with fourteen international organizations from the Fortune Global 500 list. The results revealed
that the organizations on the Best Corporate Citizens list are either not practicing CSR well or are not effectively
communicating CSR. The findings indicate that the CRO organizations practice of various CSR features, submission

The study concludes with real world implications for both CSR practice and communication.
Cosmopolitan by Default? The Significance of Place for Diasporic Identities, Christine Lohmeier, University of
Munich

Presented at the following event:

8233. Citizenship and Exile
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper considers the dynamics of space and place in relation to diasporic identity. While some conceptualisations
of diasporas have situated migrants in a hyper-mobile, cosmopolitan and hybrid field, this paper argues for the
relevance of place and space in individual and collective identity. The locality of a migrant group is of significance
with regard to several dimensions. Using the case study of the Cuban-American community in Miami, FL, it is argued
that the locale plays a special role in memory work, offering mnemonic triggers relating directly to Cuba but also on a
second level to the history of the exile community in Miami. Furthermore, place in this context has a double folded
political dimension; topographically, Miami is located right at the doorstep of Cuba. Secondly, it has in itself
developed into a locale known for political activities and vigilant anti-Castro rhetoric. On a conceptual level, the
empiric data gathered during fieldwork in Miami supports Tölölyan’s (1996/2007) call for putting the national
dimension back into diaspora studies. It is argued that there is a higher potential for imbrications of the local, the
national and the transnational, though no automatic cosmopolitan perspective by default.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The aim of this paper is to discuss cosmopolitanism in the context of global news networks. We suggest that global
news networks, such as CNN International, BBC World News, Al Jazeera English and France 24 differ in the extent
to which they cover the world in their newscasts. We measured cosmopolitanism by examining the variability among
these networks in terms of countries of location in which the events being reported took place as well as the countries
reported to be involved in the events. The study reported here is based on a quantitative content analysis of 28
newscasts aired by each of the four networks during four weeks in January-March, 2008. The findings indicate that Al
Jazeera English and BBC World News were the most cosmopolitan networks while CNN International was in an
intermediate position and France 24 was in last place. We end by providing some explanations for these findings.

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper builds on Galloway’s (2006) concept of countergaming and Dyer-Witheford and de Peuter’s (2009) games
of multitude. Recognizing a gap in the literature it seeks to graft Consalvo (2009a, 2009b) and Kucklich’s (2007) work
on cheating to these prelimary attempts at understanding countergaming phenomenon. Recent scholarship on cheating
takes player agency into account in a new way that informs the work of Galloway, Dyer-Witheford and de Peuter.
This paper will propose a series of 'cheats' through which gameplay might be altered to serve a set of counter-
hegemonic ends.
Counterrevolutionary Icons: The Representation of the 1956 'Counterrevolution' in the Hungarian Communist Press,

Presented at the following event:

7328. Covering Revolutions and Conflicts in Communist and Postcommunist States
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Bringing together theories of framing and collective memory, this article examines how icons can represent a frame of
a historic event over time in journalism. Focusing on the central Hungarian communist daily Népszabadság’s thirty
years of coverage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution against the Soviet Union, the article argues that the newspaper - in
alliance with the party - constructed iconic persons, iconic objects, and iconic places of what the regime called a
‘counterrevolution.’ From November 1956 until February 1957 the coverage was inchoate. Thereafter until 1960
Népszabadság focused on a few exceptionally violent hours of the ‘counterrevolution’ and constructed icons of the
protesters’ violence to represent all thirteen days of the protests. Until 1981 Népszabadság then provided only rote
coverage of yearly official commemorations. Finally, until 1986 it stressed factual achievements of the government’s
victory over the counterrevolution, while the power of icons were fading.

8127. Theoretical Perspectives on Journalistic Autonomy and Power
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Based on a case in South Korea, this study content analyzed news stories about a large national project from two
broadcast networks to determine if a leadership change influenced the framing and tone of news coverage. Results
showed evidence of social control in the newsroom: even when ideological conflicts between leaders and
newsworkers in media organization occurred, no matter how strong the resistance, including a strike demanding the
resignation of leaders, the leadership ultimately wielded much stronger influence. This study offers a better
understanding of the significance of a chief executive’s influence and makes an important theoretical contribution by
linking framing theory with social control in the newsroom.

7527. Making Sense of the "Media Crisis": Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

New media forms have recently challenged American journalism’s cultural monopoly on the production of political
discourse. Journalists responded to Pastor Rick Warren’s 2008 Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency by
defending their institutional authority to generate political knowledge. First, they positioned the forum as a preview to
the more important journalistic forum, the fall debates. Second, they rejected Warren’s claim that he had embraced
journalism’s norms, though they could not avoid criticism of their practices. Third, forum discourse grounded in
evangelical concepts of testimony and morality was transformed into a news discourse of strategy and hypocrisy.
Finally, they situated themselves as necessary mediators helping citizens discern what was truly political about
Warren’s forum. Results suggest journalism’s declining cultural monopoly helps explain the rise of punditry. When
political discourse is generated in many venues, journalism attempts to stay relevant by evaluating and contextualizing
what citizens access elsewhere.

What makes some Italian politicians find inspiration in Arizona’s SB1070 law? How similar are the human
experiences of North African migrants in Spanish shantytowns and undocumented Mexican immigrants in the
Southwest? This presentation gets at the heart of the panel’s comparative analysis from a unique practitioner
perspective. For nearly ten years, Arizona Republic senior reporter Daniel González has covered the many facets of
immigration—from the lives of immigrants to the ways authorities at all levels of government try to deal with the
border—from one of the major flashpoints for the issue. Last year, he traveled to Spain, Italy and Germany to compare
increasingly controversial debates there to those back in Phoenix. His reflections on reporting about immigration on
both sides of the Atlantic illuminate the mounting challenges for journalists at this time of crisis for the news media.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The present work investigates how consistency between message stance and users’ attitudes as well as credibility of
associated sources affect selective exposure to political online messages and whether this exposure subsequently
reinforces attitudes. Political interest was posited to moderate effects. A two-session online study with 107
participants presented attitude-consistent and attitude-discrepant articles associated with low and high credibility
sources as search results from an online portal. Participants with low interest in politics preferred attitude-consistent
information from high-credibility sources. Participants with high political interest discriminated less but preferred
attitude-consistent information from low-credibility sources over attitude-discrepant information from low-credibility
sources. Participants with low versus high political interest differed in that the former group allotted significantly less
time to attitude-discrepant information from high-credibility sources. Selective exposure to attitude-consistent
messages from both low and high credibility sources increased attitude accessibility, whereas selective exposure to
attitude-discrepant messages from high-credibility sources decreased it.

7651. Talk About Sex and Sexual Assault
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Technological advances by Web 2.0 media and mobile phones have recently enabled users to become producers of
their own media content. Users are now able to create and share photos and videos with speed and ease at little or no
cost. A much different trend has emerged with these new technological affordances, though. Individuals are utilizing
this new media and are creating and sharing sexually explicit user-generated content (SEUGC) of themselves. Social
cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the factors that propel this
behavior. Results suggest the influence of viewing pornography, sexual self-efficacy and entertainment and arousal
outcomes as triggers and motivators for engaging in this behavior. The model also revealed a desensitization effect
towards negative consequences that might occur from creating and sharing SEUGC.

This manuscript examines how differences in media use and education based in various media systems contribute to
gaps in institutional trust and political participation. To examine these relationships, this study uses the 2008
European Social Survey to build a multilevel model to examine how these variables affect these communication gaps
(i.e., gaps in institutional trust and participation). Results indicate the presence of significant gaps in both outcomes
based on the media system classification created by Hallin and Mancini (2004). Specifically, a smaller gap in
institutional trust exists between individuals who have high and low of education as media use increases for those
who reside in a Democrat Corporatist media system, and less of a gap in political participation for individuals who
reside in a Polarized Pluralist media system. Implications and future directions are discussed. Keywords: quantitative

Presented at the following event:

7541. Top Papers in Organizational Communication
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In line with recent effort to understand the social and collaborative aspects of creativity, this study examines the
structural patterns of creative interaction ties and their embeddedness in multiple types of relations in an
organizational setting. Results from a sociometric survey conducted in an advertising agency suggest that significant
multiplexity exists when controlling for other influences on creative tie formation. Specifically, advice ties were the
best predictor of creative interaction, followed by knowledge-sharing ties and friendship ties. Further, multivariate
random graph modeling results show that resource exchange occurs across relations, and sources of creative ideas are
diffused in the network, but a single source tends to provide more than one type of resources simultaneously.
Organizational structures, such as work unit, facilitated the formation of multiplex ties. The study concludes with a
theoretical discussion of multiplex network embeddedness and practical implications for promoting creativity in
organizations.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study examines the effectiveness of a problem-based learning (PBL) approach in enhancing student designers’
creative flexibility in advertising design. A semiotic approach is employed to examine hand-sketched print
advertisements for a bakery promoting the metaphorical theme Bread is Life produced by participants in a series of
PBL workshops (the experimental group) and a series of lecture-based workshops (the control group). The visual
representations realised through these sketches in association with the metaphor were categorised into different
signifiers by five experienced creative directors and are compared on an inter-group basis. The results of the semiotic
analysis show the experimental group to have generated a wider variety of signifiers than the control group, thus
reflecting the higher degree of creative flexibility that results from the use of a PBL approach. This empirical study
contributes to an understanding of how a PBL approach can contribute to the enhancement of semiotic association
skills amongst student designers in a professional communication context.

Social media systems offer individuals the means to ask peers for answers to health-related questions. Responses may
appear good or bad, responders may claim to be expert or innocent, and some social media platforms present readers
with aggregated ratings of an answer’s usefulness according to previous readers’ evaluations. An experiment explored
whether these three factors—answer quality, expertise claims, and crowd ratings—affected readers’ assessments of
the quality of advice about locating anonymous HIV testing.

In August 2010, the Red Cross hosted an Emergency Social Data Summit attended by leaders and experts in
government, social media, emergency response, and non-profit sectors. The discussion centered on how organizations
might begin to listen to and potentially act on information that flows through the social web during disasters. The
outcome of that Summit included the creation of a process to route calls for help to local first responders; a
commitment to engage with communities, and an increase in effort to work with emergency responders on process and
protocols for taking action on information received from those in crises (Red Cross Summit, 2010).
Critical Interpretation of Cultural Hybridization in Korean Popular Music: The Global-Local Paradigm of English
Mixing in Lyrics, Dal Yong Jin, Simon Fraser U; Woongjae Ryoo, Hanyang U

Presented at the following event:

7237. Hybridizing Global Popular Culture
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This article attempts to provide a general documentation of the development of English mixing in the lyrics of Korean
popular music. It identifies and examines several key factors involved in the rapid growth of English lyrics in K-Pop,
in particular, to Korean youth. By surveying the nature of and the extent to which English is employed in K-Pop and
how this hybridity is utilized as a discursive means of cultural hybridization, this article finally maps out whether
hybridity has generated new creative cultures, ones which are free from Western dominance. To investigate these
questions, it offers a political economic approach in parallel with a textual analysis of the content of English mixing in
K-Pop lyrics. It mainly discusses the political and social contexts of the spread of English lyrics in K-Pop, identifying
this phenomenon as cultural (in)equality based on the different state power between the local (Korean) and the global
(Western) that threatens the continuity of local languages and cultures.

5152. Intercultural Interaction and Adjustment
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study examines the cross-cultural adaptation of Hispanic youth in the upper Midwestern United States. Using
Kim's integrative theory of cross-cultural adaptation, a theoretical thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the
open-ended interview responses of 45 Hispanic adolescents. Part of a larger mixed-methods research study, the
findings of the present qualitative analysis corroborate earlier quantitative results. Seven hypotheses were derived
from Theorems 1, 3, and 5 in Kim’s theory that identify positive interrelationships among four of the theoretical
constructs: host communication competence, host interpersonal communication, psychological health, and functional
fitness. This analysis presents the individual lived experiences of the youth interviewed, finding further support for the
theoretically-based expectation that English language ability and contact with non-Hispanic Americans play an
important role in the psychological and sociocultural adjustment of Hispanic youth to the larger U.S. American
cultural mainstream.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This study addresses the applicability to three different cultures of a model using two forms of self-construal and their
consequences for depression, investigating the following questions: Is depression attributable to independent or
interdependent self-construal? Do parallel paths to depression originate from them? Do the respective mediators,
comparative self-criticism, internalized self-criticism, and taking criticism personally, function differently? The self-
construal scales (Leung & Kim, 1997), the Level Of Self-Criticism Scale (Thompson & Zuroff, 2004), the Bothered
by Criticism Scale (Fitzpatrick, 1996), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977)
were administered to mainland US, Hawaiian, and Japanese college students. The mainland US context stresses
independence and comparative self-criticism, or personal face; the Japanese context, collective and internalized self-
criticism, or public face; and the Hawaiian context, intermediate levels of comparative and internalized self-criticism.
These differences could cause differences in many self-related psychological processes/constructs, and
communication patterns, including paths to depression.

Extended Session Cultural differences can exist even in simple statements such as "I am sorry...." and "Thank you
for....". Although cultures are similar in the fact that people apologize for their offense and thank others for helping
behaviors, minor differences can exist cross-culturally in usage of these statements. Some of those minor differences
can lead to misunderstanding and conflict. My colleagues and I have done a serious of studies examining cultural
differences in apologies and thank you statements in various situations and investigating what would explain and
predict such cultural differences. I will present findings from these studies and discuss future directions in the

Patterns, Uttara Manohar, Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The aim of this cross-national investigation was to investigate how parents’ cultural dimensions and family
communication patterns influence their parental mediation strategies. Parents from India (n=57) and the United States
(n=56) completed a survey for this study. It was proposed that cultural dimensions of individualism-collectivism,
power distance and self-construal would be related to family communication patterns(FCPs). Also it was hypothesized
that the effect of family communication patterns on various parental mediation strategies would be moderated by
perceived risk of media exposure (PRME). The broad goal of the study was to establish FCPs as the mediators
between cultural dimensions and parental mediation strategies. Results supported the association between cultural
dimensions and family communication patterns. Also it was found that socio oriented parents with high PRME tend to
use restrictive mediation. Concept orientation mediated the effect of individualism and independent self construal on
active mediation.

Crowdsourcing US Election Day is an eight-year project where students at Temple University use their cell phones as
field reporting tools to document Election Day in Philadelphia, and then share their stories on various social media
sites, from blogs in 2004 to Facebook in 2010 and 2011. The evolution of cell phone apps and social media platforms
and the increased affordability of smartphones during this period have made it easier for students to use their phones
as reporting tools and to post reports directly to the Web, although there are still some areas where improvements to
the production, editing and dissemination of mobile media would benefit both journalists and news audiences. The
results of our projects suggest that an effective mobile social news process has the potential to more fully integrate the
audience in the news storytelling process, not merely through citizen contributions but through ongoing discussion of
unfolding stories similar to Robinson’s (2009) “cyber-newsroom,” where online discussion of a story in Spokane,
WA, helped inform and expand upon newspaper coverage; or journalist Andy Carvin’s use of Twitter to verify and
report on events in Tunisia and Egypt during the 2011 Arab Spring (Stelter, 2001). Easier-to-use tools have elevated
the quality of student reports, although students still need to improve ways of eliciting meaning from the shortened
style of reporting enabled by cell phones and social media. When we shifted from blogs to Facebook as our Web
publishing platform, students told us that they were motivated to participate because they knew their friends, as well
as their classmates, would see their posts on Facebook. However, students are sometimes reluctant to mix their social
life with school demands on Facebook. Students have a strong tendency toward homophily, or communicating with
and among a community who share their demographic and psychographic attributes (McPherson, Smith-Lovin and
Cook, 2001). Recently we have begun to work with students on strategies to use mobile social communication to
combine their professional and social worlds in an effort to break through their “filter bubble.” WORKS CITED

5138. Is “Positive Organizational Scholarship” A Positive Move for Organizational Communication? Forging Toward
a Critical Embrace
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Appreciative inquiry (AI) is an action research method that asks stakeholders to identify organizational strengths—
rather than just weaknesses—with goals of improving both employee effectiveness and organizational culture. This
paper conceptualizes appreciative inquiry through a positive organizational scholarship lens, specifically analyzing
how AI invigorates the research and practice of faculty to student feedback in medical education. This analysis builds
on the work of Quaintance, Arnold and Thompson (2010) who applied AI to the training of medical students’
professionalism skills, suggesting that this method may be utilized to cultivate strength- based—rather than weakness
focused—faculty to student feedback on clinical and communication skills. The paper analyzes how appreciative
inquiry applied in medical education may inform existing organizational and health communication literature and
impact studies of healthcare organizations in which positive doctor-patient relationships are linked to institutional
success.

Little research has actually focused on the role of the media in the development of racial attitudes or prejudice. The
current study used cultivation theory and Riddle's (2010) measure of life-time television use to predict both explicitly-
and implicitly-measured racial attitudes. The results suggest that television viewing influenced both explicitly- and
implicitly-measured attitudes, but in opposite directions. Heavy viewing of television was associated with less racist
explicitly-measured attitudes and more racist implicitly-measured attitudes, which is consistent with the predictions of
the MODE model (Fazio, 1990). Implications of the results for understanding the impact of television viewing on
discriminatory behavior as discussed.
Cultural Capital and Change: Afrikaans Arts Journalism and the Democratic Transformation of South Africa, Gabriel

Presented at the following event:

8127. Theoretical Perspectives on Journalistic Autonomy and Power
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper examines the discursive role and positioning of arts journalism at a prominent Afrikaans language
newspaper, Die Burger, in South Africa during a period of radical transformation in society in the 1990s. In this study,
conducted within a critical-cultural paradigm, arts journalists are considered to be manufacturers of cultural capital, a
term devised by Pierre Bourdieu as part of his comprehensive field theory framework. While Bourdieu uses cultural
capital in the main to describe the role of education and culture in the maintenance of elite power hierarchies, this
paper investigates how the nature of cultural capital at Die Burger was affected by power shifts when competing elites
jostled for dominance in a post-apartheid dispensation. By drawing on Michel Foucault’s theory of discourse, the
focus of research further incorporates the discursive positioning of arts journalists in their coverage of arts and
cultural events in the 1990s in relation to shifting configurations of power. The argument is that arts journalism at Die
Burger can be situated within networks of power and thus contributed to the structuring of post-apartheid society. In
the words of Antonio Gramsci, arts journalists became involved in hegemonic and counter-hegemonic struggles.
Flowing from these theoretical departure points, the paper identifies critical discourse analysis (CDA) as an
appropriate research method for textual analysis and adapts a five-phase model suggested by Teun van Dijk as part of
his contextual CDA approach. To affect triangulation and enhance the textual analysis, the paper also employs semi-
structured in-depth interviews with arts journalists who were prominent at Die Burger in the 1990s. The paper found
that arts journalists were at the intersection of different and often diverging and contradictory power-points in post-
apartheid discourses at the newspaper. On the one hand, some arts journalists embraced a legacy of editorial
independence at the arts desk and sometimes created oppositional discourses to the official political view of the
newspaper: for instance on the issue of alleged “collective guilt” for Afrikaners and whether Naspers should appear
before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to explain its role in supporting the National Party (NP)
during apartheid. On the other hand, many arts journalists shared the editor’s apparent aversion to the international
cultural boycott supported by the ANC and harboured some of the same skepticism about the so-called Africanisation
of society and resultant attacks on Eurocentrism in the arts. In sum, this paper contribute to a more nuanced
understanding of the role of Afrikaans language arts journalism in South African society, as well as the ability of
Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital to describe change. Keywords: Afrikaans, arts journalism, Bourdieu, cultural
capital, Die Burger, discourse, Foucault, Gramsci, hegemony, South Africa.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The paper analyzes the Swedish Pirate Party as a variety of cyberliberties activism sharing similarities with the
environmental and ecological movements. The single-issue party seeks to slow and re-think the European
harmonization of information, media, telecom, and trade policies. The Swedish Pirate Party’s information policy
agenda, ideology and class position, mobilization of resources, and influences on important national and regional
information policies are explored from the perspective of new social movement theory. The case study builds on
Boyle’s (2008) concept of cultural environmentalism, and explores how the Swedish Pirate Party’s cultural
environmentalism highlights the dilapidation of cybercultures under building pressures from Internet regulationism.
Cultural Talk About the Mobile Phone Nation, Saila Poutiainen, U of Helsinki

Presented at the following event:

5123. Diverse Facets of ICT Use (CAT High Density Panel I)
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Technology and Finnishness are tightly joined. Finns occasionally describe themselves as the mobile phone nation
(kännykkäkansa). The paper presents results of an ethnographic study of communication in which cultural discourse
on Finnishness and mobile phone communication is analyzed. The data consists of over 300 Finnish newspaper and
magazine articles and over 40 interviews, and additional media and written data. Discourse analytic studies on mobile
phone communication are scarce, and the ethnography of communication perspective is rarely applied in research of
communication technologies. The cultural discourse on mobile phones and Finnishness reflects Finnishness talk
(suomalaisuuspuhe), which is the widely recognized and produced negative or critical talk about Finnishness among
Finns. Interpretations of the cultural meanings of self-ironic expressions such as “Has the mobile phone nation now
learned to talk?” are presented, and the qualities, expectations for, and values of the mobile phone communication and
its relation to national identity are discussed.

Adopting to new culture may not be always easy; but it may may stimulate our intellectual curiosity and fuel our
passion in intercultural communication research. For this extended session, I would like to ask intercultural
communication scholars about their cultural transitions, what kind of cultural shock they experienced, and how they
turned this into passion for intercultural communication research.

Presented at the following event:

7523. Taking Risks to Avoid Them: Risk Communication and the Environment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Recent research in risk communication, including environmental communication, acknowledges the significant role
that cultural worldviews play when the public forms risk perceptions. Climate change is certainly one of the most
significant environmental risks today, yet many stakeholders believe that the issue has not received the level of
attention it deserves from the public. While research has explored what factors contribute to citizens’ knowledge and
concern about climate change, most of these studies have been conducted on Western, developed nations. Polls
indicate that many people in developing countries, particularly in the Muslim world, are not even aware of global
warming. Interestingly, the location of many of these regions makes them particularly vulnerable to problems caused
by climate change. This study explores the influence of cultural worldviews, media use, and other demographics on
Indonesian’s perceptions about the problem of global warming. Findings suggest that egalitarian and individualistic
worldviews do affect these perceptions.
Culture Matters for Proactive Behaviors of Seeking Task and Feedback Information: A Case Study of American
Employees’ Information-Seeking Behaviors in a Korean Multinational Corporation in the U.S., Jaehee Cho,
University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Presented at the following event:

7241. Speaking of Leadership: Organizational Leadership and Interpersonal Processes
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The primary goal of the current study was to investigate how information-seeking behaviors are influenced by
information-givers’ cultural backgrounds. For doing this, the current study mainly focused on two cultural dimensions
—power distance and uncertainty avoidance. Unlike previous studies, this study investigated how American
employees differently perceived cultural backgrounds of two culturally different sources of information—American
supervisors and Korean expatriates in a Korean multinational corporation in the U.S. The effects of perceived cultural
backgrounds on information-seeking behaviors were also scrutinized. Through a series of hierarchical regression
analyses, strong direct effects of perceived power distance could be found. Those effects were strong on American
employees’ behaviors of seeking information from Korean expatriates. However, there was no significant effect of
perceived uncertainty avoidance. In addition, this study could find unique patterns of the strong effects of information-
seeking behaviors on communication satisfaction with American supervisors and Korean expatriates.
Culture, Emotion, and Shared Mental Models in Dispute Resolution, Meina Liu, U of Maryland

Presented at the following event:

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study investigates the relationship between culture, emotion, and shared social cognition in dispute resolution
processes. Participants from two national cultures (120 Chinese and 100 US Americans) completed a simulated
negotiation to resolve a dispute between roommates regarding a late fee charge. Results showed that shared mental
models had a positive effect on the relational outcomes of dispute resolution; however, negotiators’ anger and
compassion had a significant influence on the degree to which they adjusted their own mental models, as well as the
degree to which they shared similar mental models with their counterparts. In addition, the effect of emotion on
mental model adjustment was moderated by culture. The study seeks to extend existing literature in several ways.
First, the study examines the role of emotion in shaping the dynamic cognitive process through which negotiators
develop a common understanding of the conflict situation. It contributes to the emotion in negotiation literature by
providing an alternative explanation for the contrastive social effects that discrete emotions, such as anger and
compassion, have on negotiation performance. Second, the study examines culture as domain specific knowledge
structures whose influence on negotiation depends on whether these knowledge structures are (de)activated by
contextual cues. By assessing the interaction effects between culture and emotion, the study provides important
insights about cultural variations in the ways in which emotion influences shared cognition, and consequently, the
relational outcomes of negotiation.

Cutting the Women Out: Gender Representation and the Newspaper Cutouts in the Turkish Press, Esra Ayse Ozcan,
Kadir Has U

Presented at the following event:

7452-26. Visual Communication Studies Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study analyses the female and the male visuals in six Turkish daily newspapers. Various previous studies on
Turkish press focused on the question of underrepresentation of women based on textual material. Turkish
newspapers are very rich in terms of visual material and in terms of the visual depiction of women. The study argues
that the exclusion of visuals from such analyses creates an important shortcoming. Thus, this study aims to expand the
previous research with the incorporation of visual analysis. The results confirm the underrepresentation hypothesis
with purely visual data from the Turkish press. In addition, the study shows that women’s underrepresentation is more
pronounced in newspaper photographs than cutouts as a type of visual often used in tabloid newspapers. The study
argues that cutouts are a gendered form of representation in tabloid newspapers that sustain “face-ism” as a subtle
form of visual stereotyping in the media.
Cynics All Around? The Impact of Election News on Political Cynicism in Comparative Perspective, Andreas Schuck,

Presented at the following event:

7534. Election Campaign Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Previous research suggests that the news media’s reporting about politics in terms of strategy fosters political
cynicism. The question remains, however, what the conditions are which facilitate or inhibit this effect. In this study,
we develop and test a model including both individual and contextual factors. We draw on a unique multi-method and
comparative cross-country design, combining a media content analysis (N=52,009) with a two-wave panel survey
conducted in 21 countries (N=32,411) during the 2009 European Parliamentary elections. Our findings stress that the
effect of strategy news on cynicism is conditional upon both individual and contextual factors. Citizens who are less
aware of the election campaign are more affected. Furthermore, strategy news has more of an effect on cynicism in
countries in which trust in EU institutions is lower. Overall, our study provides the first comprehensive overview over
the conditional impact of election news on political cynicism in comparative perspective.

6124. Researching Social Media: Ethical and Methodological Challenges
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Social media sites generate behavioral and textual data on an unprecedented scale, and the perceived value of this data
is increasing -- it is of growing interest, not only to social scientists, but also to political pollsters, security experts and
market researchers, who use sophisticated computational techniques to discover patterns in the data, often with the
goal of predicting future behavior (from purchasing to voting to terrorism). Building on critical discussions of the
‘politics of platforms’ (Gillespie, 2010) and ‘big data’ research (boyd & Crawford 2011), and drawing on our own
experiences in research projects that rely on the computational analysis of large Twitter datasets, this paper explores
the epistemological and ethical questions raised by the messy entanglement of social media data markets with data-
driven communication research. We discuss in detail how user data is treated on major social media platforms; how
issues of access, ownership and control are framed by platform providers in their official guidelines and terms of
service; and how a range of ‘users’ (including researchers) negotiate these issues in practice.

The ubiquitous use of mobile smartphones such as the iPhone, and Internet-based applications commonly known as
“apps,” can be viewed as simultaneously empowering and constraining for women’s experiences and identities due to
their potential to blur the boundaries between public and private spheres. We see this especially for mothers who daily
use mobile web applications as personalized tools to monitor, informationalize and streamline myriad aspects of
everyday life, from the mundane to the intimate, and from the personal to the professional. Yet the in-depth study of
mobile technology and gender is often marginalized as a topic of special interest, or dismissed as a non-issue in what
Gill and others have identified as a “postfeminist” information society where patterns of gender inequalities flourish
in our contemporary culture’s “emphasis upon self-surveillance, monitoring, and self-discipline, [and] preoccupation
with discourses of individualism, choice, and empowerment.” Women’s use of smartphone apps in daily life provide a
useful case study to examine how mobile technologies both symbolize and produce social relations. How does
logging, tracking and digitizing the details of one’s life mobile technology modify the processes and outcomes of
everyday experiences, gender relations and culture? We analyze this phenomenon through the lens of Wellman and
Castells concept of “networked individualism,” an emerging pattern of sociability characterized by personalization,
portability and ubiquitous connectivity facilitated by the internet and mobile smartphones. Our preliminary insights on
this topic are based on emerging themes from a series of in-depth interviews we are currently conducting. Thus far we
have interviewed an ethnically diverse group of 12 women from a west coast urban center. We examine how these
smartphone users negotiate everyday life and engage in practices of self-monitoring with popular smartphones apps
and social media in order to manage parenting (using the app “TotalBaby”), fitness (“Nike+”), menstrual cycles
(“Fertility Friend”) and daily tasks (“Evernote”). In doing so, we take into account women’s identities both in terms of
social relations as well as what Durham calls “genderscapes: the physical conditions of women’s lives.” We apply and
extend the work of In the Age of Smart Machines author Zuboff, who highlights a key difference between the use of
machines in the industrial era, and the use of computers for tasks in contemporary society. Computers “informate”
tasks – that is, they produce precise information about the tasks completed, such as how long they take to complete. In
other words, this creates “data on data.” In a highly informated environment, “the data base takes on a life of its own.”
Smartphone apps facilitate the ubiquitous computerization of everyday life tasks. We present our initial findings on
how women data mine their everyday lives in order to maintain productivity and connectivity in both the public and
private spheres. Keywords: Mobile Technology, Smartphones, Apps, Data Mining, Social Media, Networked
Individualism, Public/Private Spheres, Gender.
De-Professionalization of Journalism?, Joran Hok, Södertörns University in Stockholm; Gunnar Nygren,

Presented at the following event:

6628. The Session of the Polish Communication Association Journalistic Professionalism Around the Baltic
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

A process of professionalization has for many years been the dominating paradigm in the research on journalists. Also
Swedish journalists have been described as increasingly a professional group with common professional standards and
values. This paper question this picture, and discuss some signs that this process has reversed – to a de-
professionalization? With the support from newsroom-studies and surveys the development of the journalistic
profession is analysed in the perspective of sociological theories on professions. The results show blurred boundaries
of journalism as a profession and weaker professional institutions. The journalistic work is changing; new practices
change old values and the labour division in the media companies. This can both strengthen and weaken the position
of the journalists. Professional values are still stable among journalist in traditional media, but fragmentation and
commercialism threaten the public service orientation of the profession. The growth of alternative public spheres on
the Internet and new patterns in communication forces journalists to reconsider their role in relation to audience and
society. The final question is the consequences for the professional autonomy, in relation to sources and audiences, to
owners and management in the media company. Both for perceived autonomy in the daily work and for journalists as
a group in media companies and in society.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The underlying psychological processes that enable framing effects are often described as cognitive. Yet, a large body
of research suggests that decision-making and opinion formation are also guided by emotionality. As a result, a
number of studies have investigated emotional responses to framed messages. However, to date, the role of specific
emotions in mediating the framing process has not been fully determined empirically. This study tests four key
emotions as mediators of framing effects on opinion (anger, fear, enthusiasm, and contentment). In an experimental
survey design (n = 161), we contrast the effects of these emotions as mediators. We show that only some emotions
(anger and enthusiasm) mediate a framing effect, whereas others (contentment and fear) do not.
Dealing With interpersonal conflict: A Japan-U.S. Comparison on Conflict Accounts, Takuji Shimada, Tenri U

Presented at the following event:

5552. Conflict? What Conflict? Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Japanese Conflict Communication Strategies
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This presentation discusses effective ways of dealing with interpersonal conflicts of Japanese in comparison to
Americans by focusing on the conflict management process. Canary’s (2003) model of strategic conflict, including the
components of conflict instigation, individual differences, interpretation of the conflict, goal generation, message
production and the other person’s response, provides a useful framework to examine the process of managing
everyday conflict situations. Conflicts frequently escalate when one party or both parties perceive themselves as being
victimized by the other party, and victims demand apology and explanations. Thus, explaining the offender’s conflict-
creating behavior or giving accounts is critical for the settlement of conflicts. Prior studies have reported some
differences in account-giving processes between Japanese and Americans. Because offering accounts is one effective
approach to conflict management, this presentation uses these account research findings to evaluate the adequacy of
Canary’s model. In addition to account-giving studies, extant research identified cultural differences in self-serving
biases such that Japanese tend to exhibit weaker self-serving biases than Americans. This may offer different
interpretations of the conflict, reflecting their goal generation and preferences for accounting tactics. Also, the
components of the model that appear to differ between the two cultural groups including personal control, goal
generation and message production are examined.

This study aims to specify how particular musical features in persuasive messages impact processing of the messages.
Specifically, based upon the theoretical frameworks of the musical expectancy theory (Meyer, 1956), and the modern
interpretation of expectancy the ITPRA (Huron, 2006), and the Limited Capacity Model of Mediated Message
Processing (Lang, 2006), this study specifies experiential and physiological correlates to typical music elements
including changes in style, mode, dynamics and tempo, used in televised public service announcements (PSAs).

Presented at the following event:

7452-15. Intercultural Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Typologies are widely used in the field of intercultural communication to explain cultural differences. Especially the
typology ‘individualism versus collectivism’ (I/C) is a central theoretical construct in cross-cultural comparison. But
are typologies really suited for explaining cultural phenomena? Is their explanatory power limited because the
theoretical underpinnings are based on a Western mindset? And is using typologies as scientific models appropriate to
explain intercultural incidents and uncover cultural patterns from a non-Western view as well? Do such typologies
meet the demands of a modern view on the field of intercultural communication? This article casts a critical light on
the appropriateness and applicability of typologies. The first part examines the limitations of typologies from an East-
Asian standpoint, bringing out the hidden cultural mindset on which this bipolar construct is built. The second part
presents a model meant to contribute to a more profound debate between East-Asian and Western views on
intercultural communication.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Political ideology can influence support for health related policy changes. Previous studies have shown that judgments
about issues that are influenced by political ideology can be modified by the depth with which receivers process
messages related to that issue. Specifically, greater depth of processing is linked to a shift toward a more liberal
position on some policy issues. In this study, a national random sample of US adults read a story about individual and
societal causes of obesity. The longer time participants spent on the study, and the more words they generated in a
thought listing procedure (our operationalization of depth of processing), the more likely participants were to endorse
social interventions to prevent obesity, generally a liberal position. Contrary to expectations, this effect was
particularly evident among moderates. We conclude with a discussion of this study’s application to health
communication campaigns and future research directions.
Deference v. Assertiveness: A Dialectic Tension in Pharmacists' Interprofessional Interactions With Physicians , Paul
M. Denvir, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

Presented at the following event:

5255. Extended Session: Talk in and for Action: Connecting Communities Through Discourse
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

In this exploratory analysis, I describe how issues of professional “turf” can complicate the prospects for effective
interprofessional communication between physicians and pharmacists. I describe a dialectic tension that pharmacists
may experience in their interactions with physicians, one that can be roughly termed “deference v. assertiveness.” On
one hand, pharmacists display a concern with respecting physicians’ authority (deference); on the other hand,
pharmacists display a concern with proactively demonstrating the value of a pharmacist (assertiveness). I describe
these dynamics in 3 communication contexts: 1) when answering a physician's question; 2) when offering a diagnostic
theory to a physician; 3) when offering an unsolicited medication recommendation.
Deliberation and Media in Asymmetrical Ethnopolitical Conflicts, Don Ellis, U of Hartford

Presented at the following event:

5236. Media Coverage in Asymmetric Conflict: The Interplay of Political, Ethical, and Representational Practices
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The general purpose of this essay is to theoretically extend principles of deliberative democracy to ethnopolitical
asymmetric conflicts, as well as how media contribute to a deliberative environment. Divided societies have mutually
contradictory political or ethnic identities such as Republicans and Unionists in Northern Ireland, political and ethnic
conflict (Israelis and Palestinians), religious versus secular groups (Islamic fundamentalists against Western secular
groups), or other combinations of group identity. The problem of moral and cognitive incommensurability between
deeply divided groups is possibly the most stubborn problem for deliberation. Deliberative democracy, and its
communicative practices, is criticized as unsuitable for solving intractable conflict on the basis of three argumentative
divides. These are agonism, idealism, and effectiveness. I argue that deliberative democratic practices can
accommodate each of these divides. Moreover, the paper explores the role of media in contributing to a deliberative
environment.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Much of the political communication research on news frames has focused on their identification and/or effects.
Absent from this literature is a thorough normative assessment of news frames. In this study, we normatively situate
and assess two particularly important and common generic news frames (horse-race and contestation) from the
perspective of deliberative democratic theory. We then empirically test their relationship to a number of important
deliberative features of news content (inclusiveness, civility, reason-giving) using data on television news coverage of
the German federal election campaign in 2009. Results show consistently that mediated democratic deliberation
suffers from horse-race framing while contestation frames make ambivalent contributions. Implications for political
communication scholarship as well as journalistic practice are discussed.
Deliberative vs. Nondeliberative Evaluations of International-Medical-Graduate Physicians After Viewing a Medical
Drama, Parul Jain, Washington State U; Michael D. Slater, Ohio State U

6330. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Social, Cultural, and Community-Based Contexts of Health
Communication
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study tests whether entertainment portrayals of international medical graduate physicians may influence attitudes
towards such physicians among viewers. Given the growing importance of international physicians in U.S. health
care delivery, such effects would have the potential to impact significant numbers of patient-physician interactions.
From a theoretical and methodological standpoint, this examination extends existing work on entertainment portrayals
of oft-stigmatized minorities to impacts on minorities for whom stereotypes may be in some respects favorable. An
experiment manipulating positive versus negative portrayals of the communicative and professional competence of a
South Asian female physician on the program ER found that exposure had no effect on conventional, deliberative
measures of attitude towards such physicians, and that the negative portrayal was considered atypical. However, use
of attitude accessibility measurement demonstrated that viewers (to the extent that they identified with the narrative
character, a South Asian physician) who saw the negative portrayal were slower to respond that they liked other South
Asian female physicians who were presented in photos in a judgment task afterwards. An implication of this finding
is that such television portrayals have the potential to influence affective responses to providers from the same
demographic as the character portrayed, in ways viewers are likely to be unaware. Such responses may well influence
patient expectations and interactions with such physicians.

Presented at the following event:

6535. Democracy Online
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

A successful democracy requires citizens to prefer democratic governance over other political alternatives. In this
context, we examine role of the internet in promoting political change through socialization into pro-democracy
attitudes. Combining individual public opinion data from Africa and Asia with country-level indices, we test a multi-
level model examining the relationship between internet penetration, individual internet use, and citizen demand for
democracy across 28 countries. We find internet use, but not national internet penetration, is associated with greater
citizen commitment to democratic governance. Furthermore, greater democratization and internet penetration
moderates the relationship between internet use and demand for democracy. Implications for understanding how ICT
diffusion and internet use may be associated with citizen attitudes about democracy are discussed.

There seems to exist a persistent misconception about humility, and in particular, humility has been misused to refer
to self-deprecation, and vice versa. Recent theoretical conceptions posit that humility, which comprises accurate self-
assessment, open-mindedness, and egalitarianism, differs qualitatively from self-deprecation, or unconditional
understatement of the self. The current results indicate that (a) humility can be considered a second-order construct
subsuming accurate self-assessment, open-mindedness, and egalitarianism; (b) humility differs most markedly from
self-deprecation in that it induces a stronger perception of sincerity; (c) and humility outperforms self-deprecation in
enhancing perceived source credibility and behavioral intention to interact with the source.

Internet access can have notable implications for the social and economic lives of those fortunate enough to have
access to and use it. However, as the digital divide literature shows, the means by which an individual accesses the
Internet is both demographically- and socially-driven. A more subtle question is whether, and how, the means of
access (e.g., PC- or mobile-based, etc.) and demographic differences influence the ways in which the individual uses
the Internet (e.g., different online activities, from email to searching for information to downloading music). This
study moves the discussion of device-driven differences in Internet use into a new stage, building upon the small but
active previous research in this area (e.g. Chigona, Beukes, Vally, & Tanner, 2009; Donner & Gitau, 2009; Donner et
al., 2011; Kreutzer, 2009) and takes inspiration from Rice and Katz (2003)’s general argument of comparing Internet
and mobile phone users. This mixed-methods study of Armenian Internet use has three goals: (1) to analyze the
demographic differences (economic well-being, education, age, gender, and regional differences) between non-users,
mobile-only Internet users, PC-only Internet users, and those who use both mobile- and PC-based Internet, based on a
large, nationally representative sample from Armenia (2) to describe the Internet activities (e.g., used the Internet for
work, email, search engine, play games, download music, instant messaging, social networking sites, blog, watch
videos, or online news) engaged in by Internet users accessing from different devices, and to analyze the influences of
both demographics and access device on those activities, and (3) to present the quantitative and qualitative findings
in a unified fictional narrative by textually and visually portraying fictionalized but tangible demographic and activity
representations of prototypical users. Selected results include: (1) All the demographic variables except gender
differ, in varying combinations, across the four categories of use: non-use, PC-based only, mobile-based only, and
both PC- and mobile-based. Non-users rated reasons for their non-adoption, ranging from lack of access to being too
old. (2) PC-based use, and combined PC- and mobile-based use are explained by all demographics except gender,
while mobile-based use is explained by age, gender, and urban region. (3) Engagement in most of the Internet-based
activities varied by all the demographic variables except gender. However, almost all of this is due to the influence of
demographic variation among PC-based Internet users. Further, interaction effects between demographics and device
type on activities also occurred. Part (3) is both novel, and, we hope, insightful. The value of producing narratives and
personas (see Putnam, Koko, & Wood, 2012) is threefold: (a) textual and visual representations of quantitative results
bridge methodological divides, (b) personifying results allows for the research context, in this case a developing
country, to be effectively conveyed, and (c) with the interest in mobile Internet for development and policy purposes,
such a format may make the results and implications much more accessible to a broader audience.

Women’, James McDonald, U of Colorado

Presented at the following event:

7452-21. Organizational Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In light of the high level of occupational segregation in information technology (IT) work, the “Association for
Women in Information Technology” (AWIT) is attempting to increase the representation of women in IT. In
particular, AWIT is developing a marketing campaign, which I conceptualize as strategic occupational branding
efforts, in which it crafts and deploys the occupational identity of ‘technical women’. I demonstrate how the
campaign’s depictions of technical women reify sex differences between women and men and reinforce whiteness as
the cultural norm with which all technical women are presumed to identify. I then demonstrate how these discourses
represent a concrete instance of strategic essentialism (Spivak, 1988), as despite their reifying nature, they nonetheless
enable AWIT to make political claims that ultimately have the potential to reduce inequality. I conclude with a
discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of practicing strategic essentialism in occupational branding efforts.
Describing Audience Flow on the Internet Using A Network Analytic Approach, Harsh Taneja, Northwestern
University

Presented at the following event:

5520. How Fragmented Are We? Patterns of Media Use Around the Globe
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Media centric approaches to audience fragmentation, typified by ‘long tail’ distributions of market shares of outlets,
have consistently shown that Internet audiences are highly fragmented with a handful of websites commanding a large
share of traffic. Yet such approaches are unable to identify the mechanisms responsible for these observed
distributions. This study overcomes this limitation by employing a network analytic approach on clickstream data on
audience flow, drawn from an audience measurement panel, that measures Internet use from respondents in 170
countries. The findings reveal that on average, users remain restricted to a small subset of websites. They appear to be
creating these subsets based on their linguistic preferences and the availability of websites that cater to their
geographical regions. Two types of websites meet these criteria, a handful of large global search engines, portals and
social networking sites along with local country specific websites.
Descriptive Norms, Social Acceptability, Self-Monitoring, and Unhealthy Food Consumption Among University
Students, Su Ahn Jang, U of Missouri - St. Louis; Jina H. Yoo, U of Missouri - St. Louis

Presented at the following event:

7329. Understanding and Addressing the Social Contexts of Health Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Guided by the theory of normative social behavior and the social contagion hypothesis, we examined the relation
between descriptive norms and university students’ unhealthy food consumption and focused on the moderating role
of social acceptability and self-monitoring in the link. As predicted, results indicated that high social acceptability was
related to a stronger association between descriptive norms and students’ unhealthy food consumption, and low self-
monitoring was associated with a stronger association between descriptive norms and unhealthy food intake. The
results are consistent with previous research, and we suggest implications for health interventions.
Designing the Virtual Self: How Psychological Connections to Avatars May Influence Outcomes of Use, Rabindra A.
Ratan, Michigan State University; Béatrice Susanne Hasler, The Interdisciplinary Center

Presented at the following event:

6223. Extended Session: Virtual Environment and Representation
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The present paper examines how two important facets of avatar design – customization and personalization – may
influence users’ psychological connections to avatars and outcomes of avatar use. Responses from students who
engaged in collaborative learning within a virtual environment suggest that avatar design influences psychological
connections to avatars, that the various measures of such connections included in this project are interrelated in
notable ways, and that these connections may influence substantive outcomes of virtual world use. More specifically,
this research suggests that virtual environments may best facilitate education-related outcomes by encouraging
psychological projection of personality characteristics onto avatars as well as body-level connections to avatars, but
limiting extreme avatar customization and personalization.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Because of the potentially harmful results associated with misuse/overuse of certain products, some products are
mandated to include warning information about product usage in their advertisements. This study examined how
young adults process warning labels in three product categories (drinking, smoking, and texting) by determining the
effectiveness of warnings in different message formats (ads and public service announcements, PSAs) across different
context-induced moods (positive and negative). This study also explored how various personal determinants influence
the success of warning labels for different health/safety products. This study found warning labels placed within ads
were more effective in two memory-based measures (recall and recognition) while those in PSAs were more effective
in attitude (toward message containing warnings) and behavior (intention for behavioral change) measures. This study
also observed that warning label performance is influenced by various determinants including context-induced moods,
and these factors showed different patterns of influences for each product category.
Determining the Optimal Effect Span of Political Public Relations on Media Agenda Formation, Josef Seethaler,

Presented at the following event:

8134. Agenda-Building and Agenda-Setting
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The question of the time span needed for public relations work to take effect in media coverage is important both for
public relations practice and for research seeking to examine the relationship between mass media and other actors in
society. The paper asks this question with regard to agenda building processes, taking the view that it must be
answered before any possible influences on the formation of media agenda can be analyzed. On the one hand, it
presents the time-series cross-section (TSCS) analysis, a model for implementing the time dimension in the design of
agenda building research, combining longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses, i.e. comparisons over time and
comparisons of issue agendas. On the other hand, the paper explains the potential of this approach using an example
from election campaign communications dealing with the changes in the relationship between political parties and the
media.

Presented at the following event:

7532. Negotiating Parenting in the Age of Ubiquitous Media
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Children are using the Internet at younger and younger ages. So far, however, we know little about how parents guide
young children's online activities to prevent risks. Filling this void an Internet-survey established empirically which
media guidance strategies 792 parents of children (2-12 years) in the Netherlands used. As was established in former
television and game research factor analysis revealed that parents also applied ‘co-use’, ‘active mediation’, and
‘restrictive mediation’. In addition, parents also applied new strategies: ‘supervision’ i.e. keeping an eye on the child
from a distance, and using safety software applications. Mediation types were mainly predicted by the child’s age and
online behavior, such as gaming and social networking. Also, parents applied more mediation when they expected
positive effects and particularly when they expected negative effects of the Internet, indicating that parents
deliberately adjust their mediation to the child's needs and interests. Mediation was also predicted by the number of
computers at home, and the parent’s gender, education and computer / Internet skills.
Developing Strategies to Improve Attitudes Toward Psychiatric Help Seeking: Increasing the Salience of the Value-
Expressive Function, Hye Kyung Kim, Cornell U

Presented at the following event:

7329. Understanding and Addressing the Social Contexts of Health Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study examined the acceptance and processing of value-expressive messages designed to increase positive
attitudes toward psychiatric help seeking as a means for depression treatment. A survey was conducted as a pilot test
(n= 104) to identify the motivational bases of holding attitudes toward psychiatric help seeking in relation to the target
audiences’ value structures and attitude functions. Based on the pilot test results, a randomized experiment was
conducted (n= 148) with three message conditions (i.e., health, self-direction, control) testing the influence of
increasing the salience of value-expressive function on attitude change. Although the initial attitudes were not health
or self-direction value-expressive, attitudes became value-expressive by the message inductions. The acceptance and
processing of value-expressive messages differed as a function of two sources of self-threat (i.e., audiences’ perceived
risk susceptibility and public image protection goal). Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are
discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This paper analyzes the new media managerial practices used by the 2008 Barack Obama campaign for president.
Campaigns have long sought to generate online citizen participation in fundraising, messaging, and fieldwork. To
help secure these fiscal and human resources, the Obama campaign developed a set of management techniques and
data and analytic practices designed to increase the allocative efficiency of resources and probabilistically produce
desired actions among supporters. Through in-depth interviews with more than twenty staffers, this paper analyzes
the campaign’s development of what I call a ‘computational management’ style, or the delegation of managerial,
allocative, messaging, and design decisions to analysis of user actions made visible in the form of data as they
interacted with the campaign’s media. The paper shows how computational management works through an in-depth
analysis of the website optimization practices of the campaign. While these practices and tools did not on their own
produce the extraordinary mobilization around the campaign, they helped translate it into staple electoral resources:
money, messages, and votes.
Developing a Cache of Explanatory Principles: The Case of Political Entertainment Talk Shows, R. Lance Holbert,
Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

5221. Political Talk Shows and Entertainment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The study of media in political communication has been dominated by understanding-driven theories, whether
assessing news (e.g., Agenda Setting) or persuasive acts in political campaigns (e.g., ELM). Recent debates centered
on partisan echo chambers offer an implication that consistency-driven theories may represent a better underlying
explanatory principle for future research on political media influence, and much research on entertainment media and
politics has put forward the notion that hedonistic theories may also provide utility for this area of study. The
proposed essay will explore how the field of political communication should balance these underlying explanatory
principles (i.e., understanding, consistency, hedonism) as it continues to build theory, and political entertainment talk
shows will be used to ground a discussion of how the field should best use these principles as its seeks to generate
understanding about a variety of relationships between political media and a broad range of democratic outcomes.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

In response to a series of highly publicized gay teen suicides, in September 2010, columnist and author Dan Savage
and his partner Terry Miller created a YouTube video to reach out to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer
(LGBTQ) youth. The video became the foundation for the It Gets Better Project, which eleven months later received
more than 25,000 user-created videos viewed more than 40 million times. The purpose of this qualitative study is to
examine the dominant narrative elements that emerged from the It Gets Better Project video submissions from
members of the international LGBTQ community. The study illustrates how existing theoretical concepts of
counterpublics may be used to understand the response by the lesbian, gay and bisexual community to the series of
recent suicides and emergent issues of bullying. Analyses suggest the importance of an international LGBT
community, both on and offline, in the construction of queer global counterpublic.

We set out to develop an instrument that would distinguish between people based on their tendency to engage in
opportunistic discovery of information (ODI). Five theoretically derived functional elements of ODI served as the
underlying theoretical factor structure of this instrument. We developed a preliminary pool of items corresponding to
each of these factors, pretested these items for general face validity and comprehensibility, then conducted a larger
scale survey to establish the psychometric properties of the instrument. We report the results (to date) of this survey
here.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This study investigated the development and consequences of offline and online peer victimization during
adolescence. We examined the number of victimization trajectories, the relationship between trajectories, and their
effect on life-satisfaction. A four-wave panel study with 6-month time intervals was conducted among a sample of
adolescents aged 12-to-17-years (N = 1,762). Three offline victimization trajectories could be distinguished: a
trajectory group of low to no victimization, a group of moderate victimization, and a group of high victimization
across adolescence. Two groups in online victimization could be distinguished: a group of low to no and a group of
moderate victimization which peaked at age 14. Dual-trajectory analyses revealed a substantial overlap between
offline and online victimization. Finally, victimization and life-satisfaction were longitudinally related.The overlap
between the offline and online victimization trajectories and their negative consequences on life-satisfaction suggest
that prevention of peer victimization should focus on both types of victimization.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

As De Cock et al. (2009) have argued, at the heart of digital capitalism’s attempts at self-representation lies an image
of a kind of network sublime: a mythical, “friction-free” (Brophy, 2006, p. 619) non-space where the circulation of the
knowledge-commodity carries on, unburdened by material restrictions. In this paper I argue, by drawing upon Walter
Benjamin’s notion of the dialectical image, that data visualization—a tool uniquely positioned to give shape and
dimension to this seemingly invisible circulation of information—carries with it the potential to critically disrupt
precisely this visual mythology. By visually relating the circulation of commodified data to the material conditions in
which it was produced, data visualization, in a Benjaminian turn, helps us to historicize and politicize the data that
drives digital capitalism and, in so doing, throws a harsh light on the epistemological and ontological blind spots of its
“utopian wish-images” (Gilloch, 1996, p. 105).

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study aimed to generate greater understanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as constructed in non-
Euro-American contexts, by examining dialectics in corporate discourse on key themes and drivers of CSR in India.
Qualitative in-depth conversations with business leaders and senior managers who define thought leadership in the
space, selected from the Standard & Poor India ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Index, were the main method
of data generation. Results, based on 19 interviews with participants from 16 companies revealed that participant
understandings of key themes and drivers of CSR are riddled with multiple layers of dialectical complexities
simultaneously negotiating the apparently contradictory notions of nation building and inclusive growth, paternalism
and egalitarianism, and duty and consequences. The paper also proposes that the ancient Indian concept of dharma
might be a probable theoretical framework within which duty and consequences, the dialectical drivers of CSR in
India could be further understood.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Private matters of the heart are the focus of Beautifully Imperfect, a Singapore government-led public communication
campaign on love and marriage, part of larger pro-family efforts to reverse low marriage and birth rates. Through a
case study based on focus groups, content analysis and interview methods, this study takes a user approach to dialogic
theory by evaluating user reactions to and user interaction on Facebook and the manifestation of dialogic strategies
and outcomes for relationship cultivation and persuasion. The findings suggest that while campaign on Facebook
meets some technical and design criteria for dialogic relationship building on the Web, Facebook is used merely as a
one-way communication channel devoid of dialogue to relay messages from the state to its publics.
Dialoguing With Socrates or Disseminating Like Jesus? Rereading Communication History Through ‘One-to-One’
and ‘One-to-Many’ Lenses, Gabriele Balbi, U of Lugano; Juraj Kittler, St. Lawrence U

Presented at the following event:

6331. Workshop on Innovative Methods in Communication History
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Innovative Methods Workshop - Extended Abstract: One of the key analytical categories through which emerging
media technologies have been approached by the historians of communication is the dichotomy reflecting the potential
to conduct communication flows in the one-to-one (point-to-point; face-to-face) or one-to-many fashion. John Durham
Peters epitomized it elegantly through the characters of Socrates/Plato, men of dialogue, and Jesus, disseminator of
the message. Many other notable scholars have wrestled with this dichotomy, sometimes inadvertently, without
addressing the issue explicitly; other times while approaching communication from rigid technological-determinist
positions. While the era of “grand narratives” and elegant explanatory theories pursued by the followers of Harold
Innis and Marshall McLuhan may be out of fashion, in the last two decades - partially in response to the Annales
School that pioneered social and cultural histories - one can clearly see a renaissance of historical research that
attempts to reconcile both history and sociology, relying on the longue durée approach. This study advances further
such line of research by offering a new way of looking at media history at least in two aspects. First of all, through the
ontological lenses of the one-to-one and one-to-many dichotomy, it attempts to re-read the last 2,500 years of Western
communication theory and social praxis. Secondly, focusing mainly on historical periods in which newly emerging
media or new ways of thinking about the old ones emerged, this paper aims at reconsidering the mutual interaction
between media and society. Starting with the oral communication that dominated the classical world, the study
advances by analyzing the periods relying on the manuscript and print, takes into account the role played by the
developing postal service in spreading information and knowledge, and culminates with the advent of electronic
communication and telecommunication - from the early telegraph through the telephone, cinema, radio, television, and
onwards to the digital electronic network. It also considers to what extent some technologies that are conventionally
not associated with communication - such as lighting, air-conditioning, or urban structures and institutions -
influenced the way in which the dichotomy of one-to-one and one-to-many was articulated. The results of such an
historical analysis lead us to embrace, in a critical way, the social-constructivist tradition. We conclude that in its
infancy, each emerging technology has the potential to foster both one-to-one or one-to-many communication flows.
Which of the two is emphasized in its deployment largely depends on a particular society that shapes technology
through sets of explicit regulatory policies or, in a more covert manner, through its hegemonic projection. At the same
time, this study asks also if there is something inherent in the technology itself that naturally propels it to become a
one-to-one or one-to-many medium? To what extent can the unintended consequences steer that potential one way or
the other? In the conclusion this study aims to demonstrate that the two dichotomic concepts that were used in the
analysis can ultimately help us to rethink some taken-for-granted ideas about communication. The one-to-one and one-
to-many potential has clearly a lot to do with the issues of power, democracy and totalitarism, privacy and publicity,
secrecy and openness, active and passive audiences, mass and solipsism, time and space. Thus rereading
communication histories with this dichotomic set of ontological lenses in mind becomes a new way at looking at
media and communication. It helps in reconsidering how ideas, social structures, and cultural forms have re-shaped
the ways in which communication has been conceived at different historical intersections of time and space.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper develops the theoretical framework to understand diaspora communities as key publics in the field of
global public relations, especially for the international practices of national governments. Through a case study that
includes the analysis of documents, of previous literature, and of 20 in-depth interviews with government officials
from El Salvador and Costa Rica, this paper shows that diaspora communities in the United States do not fit the
typologies of publics offered in the past by public relations scholars. A diaspora community is then conceptualized as
a public that is affected by both the context in which it is located (the host country) and by the context where it comes
from (the home country). This paper contributes to public relations theory by offering a typology of contextual
variables of the home and host countries, and of the diaspora community itself, that need to be considered when an
organization defines communication strategies and public relations programs to engage this unique public.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This paper explores and describes diaspora relations as a function of global public relations. To do so, a qualitative
case study of how the State of El Salvador builds relationships with its three million migrants in the United States is
presented. The analyses of documents, audiovisual materials, and in-depth interviews with eight El Salvador´s
government officials show that diaspora relations have become a key function of El Salvador´s State global public
relations. This paper offers a typology of State-diaspora relationship-building strategies and tactics occurring in the
case of El Salvador, from the efforts developed to attract remittances and promote investments in the home country to
the strategies developed to maintain the migrant identity and to “construct” the image of the Salvadoran diaspora
community in the United States as an active group of “far-away brothers” and “agents of development” in El Salvador
´s life. Implications for public relations theory are discussed.

With the case study on how female Nigerian use the Internet, this paper will explore the ways in which the people
outside their home countries maintain their national identities through new media technologies. As the Internet culture
blooms, ever-growing media users of African diaspora came to use new communication tools. Members of the
diaspora continue to turn to online newspapers, magazines and more recently social media sites for the most current
happenings in their home countries. From cellular phones to TV networks, virtual communication between members
of the diaspora and those in the home country can be sustained. In conclusion, we will deal with one of the important
issues for members of the diaspora to face today: whether they would choose to return to their home countries or not.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

In this paper, we examine the role of old and new media in the construction of a cultural geography of Latin and
Central American immigration in central/southern Texas. We argue that this space is doubly constituted: from above
by “Latino” oriented television networks like Univision and from below by audiences and users. More specifically, we
examine how users utilize media to maintain ties to both home countries and host countries/new localities, and to
engage with other immigrant populations as part of a diasporic community. Our project is based on over 150 in-depth
interviews conducted in the heavily immigrant neighborhoods of east Austin and the border towns of Zapata and
Crystal City. Finally, we will complicate the analysis by looking at how interviewees from Brazil both reflect and
diverge from the patterns established in the other interviews.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This study investigates the effects of different types of expert evidence on persuasiveness. Following Wagemans
(2011), two types of experts were distinguished that can be used in expert evidence: experiential experts (who base
their expertise on personal experience) and professional experts (who base their expertise on professional knowledge).
In a between-subjects experiment (N = 179), these different types of experts were included in a news report on a
political issue. Results indicate that professional and experiential experts were perceived as equally trustworthy.
However, the perceived expertise and persuasiveness of professional experts was higher than that of experiential
experts. Perceived expertise completely mediated the effects of the different types of expert evidence on
persuasiveness. These results point towards a recommendation of using professional expert evidence over experiential
expert evidence in reporting on political issues.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Video game regulation systems across the world have followed the approach of self-regulation with no or little
influence by government authorities. Few studies have employed a comparative perspective on rating practices asking
in how far regulation systems differ systematically and in how far these differences might lead to different rating
decisions. Therefore we analyzed both the set up of three major western regulation systems (the German USK, the
pan-European PEGI and the US ESRB) and as a consequence the actual rating decisions in each of the three systems
relying on secondary data of the aggregate level, individual rating decisions for N = 182 top-selling titles and a list of
favorite video games of N = 744 adolescents in the US and Germany. Findings illustrated that each systems has a
distinct focus, for which it regulates video game use more strongly than the other systems, such as video games for
young children (ESRB) or shooter-type video games (USK).

The popularity of social network sites (SNS) among adolescents and young adults has led to investigations of their
effects on young users. The present research furthers our understanding of SNS use by examining the relationships
among loneliness, Facebook use, and academic adjustment of first year college students in the United States. Focusing
on different types of Facebook use, we found that loneliness was a predictor of compulsive SNS use but not habitual
use of SNS, and that compulsive use, not habitual use, was an indicator of negative academic adjustment. The number
of Facebook friends had a curvilinear relationship with loneliness and different types of Facebook use. Facebook use
played an insignificant role in contributing to social adjustment of first year students.

Over the past four years, the United States has significantly expanded its use of predator drones to conduct
intelligence-gathering and military-strike operations. Experts are divided over this change in military strategy: some
defend drones as a legal and efficient way to target terrorists, and others condemn them as a violation of international
law. We explored the differential framing of drones in U.S. and foreign news coverage. Given their social identity and
institutional motivations, we expected and found that American journalists were more likely to frame the usage of
drones in ways that protected American national identity—by avoiding mention of civilian deaths, and by highlighting
the drones’ value in saving American lives, their legality under international law, and their effectiveness. Foreign
journalists, on the other hand, more regularly criticized the use of drones. These data have important implications for
global and American public opinion about the use of drones.

Communication research has often conceptualized messages as either positive or negative or emotional and rational;
however, recent research has begun to examine the relationship between over time variation in message emotional
content and ongoing motivational, emotional, and cognitive responses (Lang, Sanders-Jackson, Wang, & Rubenking,
under review; Wang & Lang, 2006; Wang, Lang, & Busemeyer, 2011). This study is concerned with the processing of
messages that start Pleasant and end Unpleasant and messages that start Unpleasant and end Unpleasant. Results show
that the processing of these messages varies over time and is different in comparison with messages that are
increasingly Pleasant (individually), Unpleasant (individually), and both Pleasant and Unpleasant (at the same time).

6328. Probing the "Realities" of Media Bias and its Link to Content and Perceptions
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Media coverage of social science research is at risk of producing biased and thus problematic representations of what
is known and what is not (yet) known by researchers. The present paper proposes a model on how interactions
between specific attributes of social science research on the one hand and of the news media on the other hand
increase the risk of different kinds of bias in news media reporting of the social sciences. First, a typology of bias
types in media coverage of social sciences is elaborated. Second, key characteristics of the social science system and
the media system are reviewed that may contribute to biases in news reports of social science. Third, interactions
between specific attributes of the social sciences and the news media as generators of biased news reporting are
explicated. Finally, we discuss implications of the model for future research and practical improvement of social
science communication.
Diffusion of the New Video Delivery Technology: Is There Redlining in the IPTV Service Market?, Sung Wook Ji,
Indiana U

Presented at the following event:

5531. Network Development and Regulation
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study examines the entry behavior of Internet Protocol TV companies into the Indiana video programming
service market, with a particular focus on IPTV’s income redlining, which refers to the practice of cable
programming providers cherry-picking only high-income market areas in which to offer their services. Analyzing
previously unavailable data compiled by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, evidence is presented of the
practice of income redlining associated with IPTVs’ entry into the Indiana market. The probability of IPTVs entry into
any market is directly proportional to the average household income, from 1.5% in the lowest income areas to around
84.3% in the highest income areas. This result raises the suspicion that the IPTVs’ entry into Indiana market may be
associated with the practice of income redlining, and also provides policy implications which should be taken into
account by regulators when considering future competition between IPTV and cable providers. * The initial version of
this study was presented in the Media Management and Economics devision of the AEJMC conference in 2011. The
author has updated the data and added an important variable, the availability of Internet service areas in the empirical
model.

7320. How We Choose: Factors Affecting Media Selection
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The ratio of the second to the fourth digits of the hand (abbreviated 2D:4D) is considered a biomarker of in-utero
androgen exposure and has been linked to gender-stereotyped interests and behaviors among both men and women.
However, the link between 2D:4D and media preferences and responses remains unexplored. Gender is a known
predictor of media preferences and responses, so a test of 2D:4D versus gender as predictors could help establish the
extent to which media use is biologically determined. This study of N = 193 young adults tested 2D:4D and gender as
predictors of preference for and responses to violent, scary, and sad genres and images. Controlling sensation seeking,
empathy, aggression, and gender, a more feminine 2D:4D predicted preference for sad genres, whereas a more
masculine 2D:4D predicted preference for violent genres and, for males only, scary genres. Only gender predicted
image responses, and gender was the more powerful predictor overall.

7255. Extended Session: Media Literacy at the Forefront of Instruction
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

In 2006, Henry Jenkins identified, perhaps too optimistically, the emergence of “new media literacies” as a set of
alternative learning skills acquired by students through the use of social media. Despite the popularity of that view,
assessment of the new learning skills suffers from the lack of operational definitions, quantifiable measures, and
systematic examinations of the impact of those allegedly new skills on student class performance (Jenkins, 2011).
This study reports on an ongoing quasi-experiment in which curricular recommendations extracted from Jenkins’s
New Media Literacy Framework were implemented in redesigning an online Communication Research Methods class.
An undergraduate class of 40 students at a public university received instruction through a mix of YouTube lectures,
interactive social media assignments and student YouTube postings. Following Literat (2011), pedagogical materials
were designed to implement measures of new media literacies skills. Student performance in the online class was
compared with student performance in a comparable research methods class taught face-to-face by the same instructor
using traditional instructional materials. The presentation discusses the implications of the results for teaching
research methods in distance learning formats.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The Millennial generation, those born between 1982-2004, are arguably one of the most critiqued yet supposedly least
understood generations in history. While contemporary studies debate the defining qualities of this generation, this
study contributes to our understanding of generational differences at work by examining how such difference is
constructed, negotiated and resisted in the workplace. In a series of interviews with 26 members of an information
technology organization, we found that participants both ontologized generational differences, treating them as real,
and de-ontologized them by rendering them ironic. Specifically, participants constructed Millennials as being
technology savvy, concerned with voice, informal, reliant on flexibility, and needing stimulation. However, these
constructions were both synchronically and diachronically destabilized and de-ontologized by participants in three
ways: through a discourse of dismissal or skepticism, the invocation of a third person effect, and the construction of a
decline metaphor. Implications for studies of generational difference are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

7639. Government and Public Relations: Politics to Diplomacy
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper studies how political parties utilized relationship management in their digital political public relations
during before, under and after the Swedish parliament election in 2010. Utilizing a longitudinal content analysis of
digital platforms, spanning 18 months, the study found that the political parties offered opportunities for relationship
building in theory but opted to use top-down communication and centered their efforts just before the election in
practice. It is evident in this study that political public relations are still centered on elections and one-way, one-to-
many communication despite the potential of digital media platforms. The underlying logic seems to derive from the
political parties and their need for voters support in times of elections. However, the study also found that user interest
in the parties’ digital platforms rose during the whole measuring period but was still rather low suggesting that the
reach for digital political public relations is still quite limited.

6140. Critical Geographies of Popular Television: Regionalization and Residual Empires
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The history of African American television exports to the Caribbean, the BBC’s minority channels, and Western
Africa attests to the shared cultural sensibilities of black communities in the West. These television exports built upon
a broader cultural geography that dates back to the days of chattel slavery, which Paul Gilroy has dubbed “The Black
Atlantic.” More recently, Nigerian videofilm exports have traveled similar paths through parallel media economies
throughout the Caribbean, West Africa, and even into “legitimate” outlets in the U.S. and the UK. Often hailed as an
important contra-flow enabled by digital reproduction distribution and technologies, Nollywood is still only
financially viable because of the strength of its domestic market. Taking the counter-example of a contemporary
Belizean television series, this presentation (a) demonstrates the shared aesthetic sensibilities of Black Atlantic
television and (b) shows how the new digital environment can squelch as well as enable Black Atlantic television
cultures.

5329. Legal, Regulatory, and Policy Challenges of the New Technologies
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

The digital revolution - the mass replication of intellectual property, permitting a vast trove of art, entertainment and
information to be available to millions of people – has not resulted in a concomitant revolution at law. Instead,
legislators have tinkered around the edges of copyright law, significantly extending the timeline of protection to
copyright holders and making it more difficult for users to copy protected digital material. These measures only
address one characteristic of digital media: the ease with which intellectual property can be copied and propagated.
The other characteristics of digitality – its complete fungibility with originals, its imperviousness to non-mechanical
inspection, and its transformation of formerly diverse industrial practices into the singular act of internet-based
propagation - have not resulted in changes in copyright law. We review the history of the major genres of intellectual
property and make suggestions as to how copyright law might be amended.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

With the propagation of the Internet, scholars can again ask some of the same questions John Dewey attempted tackle,
namely, how can this technology be used to strengthen America’s democratic ideals? This paper looks at how
researchers seek to answer this question in the spirit of Dewey by looking at the Internet as an apparatus of democratic
communication. This paper considers the ways that Dewey has been used and ultimately tries to reconcile
contemporary optimism and cynicism about the Internet with Dewey’s original pragmatist project and argues that
before any technology becomes the means of a more democratic form of communication, a pragmatic democratic
mindset and culture must first presage the democratic use of the technology.

6228. Follow Me: Twitter in the News-Making Process
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study examined the relation of blog, micro-blog such as Twitter and social networking service (SNS) such as
Facebook with four key variables of political engagement; civic political knowledge, current issue knowledge, online
political participation and offline political participation. Results show that the three digital media are distinctive in
their influence on political engagement. SNS use had a significant impact on the increase of gap in issue and civic
political knowledge between social classes. SNS use was also a strong predictor of both online and offline political
participation. Micro-blog use was only associated with increase of the gap in offline participation. Blog use predicted
increase in issue knowledge. The study utilizes theoretical concept of interactivity to explain differentiated influence
of digital media. Implications for democracy are also discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The current study builds upon previous knowledge of international public opinion by examining the role that the
evaluation of a nation’s leader may have on evaluations of the nation by a foreign public. More specifically, the study
examines the impact of so called “Obama Effect” on attitudes towards the United States in the nation of Pakistan. The
study analyzed a large data subset (n=1,254) from the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project (2009). The
results of the analysis point to significant relationships between confidence in Obama’s leadership, approval of
Obama’s foreign policies, U.S.-Pakistan relations and favorability towards the United States. The study discusses the
theoretical implications of the findings along with the contextual implications on U.S. public diplomacy.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study predicted that spouses’ insecure attachment orientation would be negatively associated with relationship
quality. It further predicted that there would be indirect effects of attachment orientation on spouses’ relationship
quality through interpersonal trust, as well as indirect effects of attachment orientation on loneliness through spouses’
relationship quality. Predictions were tested on 225 married couples that completed measures of attachment
orientation, personal commitment, dedication commitment, interpersonal trust, loneliness, and marital satisfaction.
Tests of actor-partner interdependence revealed that insecure attachment (i.e., anxious and avoidant) was associated
with lower relationship quality, and that one partner’s insecure attachment was associated with his/her spouse’s report
of lower relationship quality. Actor-partner mediator models revealed that interpersonal trust mediated the
relationship between attachment orientation and relationship quality; insecure attachment was associated with lower
levels of interpersonal trust, and in turn, lower relationship quality both personally and dyadically. Similarly,
relationship quality mediated the relationship between attachment orientation and loneliness; insecure attachment was
associated with lower relationship quality, and in turn, higher levels of loneliness both personally and dyadically.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study has two main aims. First, to examine the effects of disclosure of incentivized relationships in eWOM blog
communications on individuals’ perceptions of organization credibility, blogger credibility, attitude toward the
product and purchase intention. Secondly, to highlight the role of public relations in promulgating more ethical and
open practices in online communications involving third-party ‘agents.’ Grounded in the concept of trust in
relationship management theories, a between-subjects 3(non-disclosure vs. disclosure ON blog vs. disclosure AFTER
blog) x 2(negative message vs. positive message) online-based experiment was carried out. Results revealed that
disclosure of incentivized relationships significantly affects all dependent variables, with varying levels of interaction
effects from message valence. Results further showed that perception of organization credibility is crucial in
impacting bottom-line outcomes such as individual attitudes and purchase intentions. Ramifications for relationship
management and the role of public relations as ethics counsel for eWOM product communications are discussed.

5342. Methodological Interventions: Feminist Frameworks for Analyzing Power and Agency
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Scholars have suggested that female political candidates tend to emphasize personal traits that differ from male
candidates to counteract damaging gender stereotyping related campaigns for public offices in the U.S. This study
aims to extend previous knowledge about female politicians’ self-presentations by providing findings from the
discourse analysis of the Midwestern congressmen and women’s biographies. The results indicate that
congresswomen, compared to congressmen, may try to strategically present themselves to counteract stereotypical
perceptions with more emphasis on their masculine traits such as toughness and fighting spirit. When writing their
biographies, women are more likely to focus on their character descriptions compared to their male counterparts. Also,
they are more likely to post their public images rather than private ones. Overall, women seemed to care more in their
self-presentations on their official websites. Findings are discussed in terms of influences of gender on female
candidates’ campaign strategies and the U.S. political process.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In this essay I critically explore the discourses of participation embedded citizens’ conversations about public decision
making associated with transportation planning in a region of the Western United States. I begin by framing the issues
related to participatory democracy as a discursive problem of hegemony associated with alignments of meanings
(re)created through citizen discourse. Embracing Habermas’ (1984; 1987) notion of distorted communication, I aim
to reveal how contemporary talk of participation might suppress different ways of understanding contemporary
democracy that preclude alternative ways of conceptualizing and participating in American democracy. Attending to
citizen’s discussions about participatory decision-making processes provides insights into the ways participation is
understood by citizens, how existing distorted understandings are maintained through discourses, and why active
participation in the governing processes is stifled.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Despite the growing acknowledgment of the importance of media literacy, its definition is contested. The primary
approaches—protectionist approach, media arts education, media literacy movement, and critical media literacy—
have competing conceptualizations of media education. In such a divided field, it’s difficult to substantively influence
media content, institutions, audiences or, most importantly, contemporary society. Len Masterman emphasizes that a
‘truly participatory democracy’ will require the development of citizens “to take control, become effective change
agents, make rational decisions (often on the basis of media evidence) and to communicate effectively…through an
active involvement with the media.” Evident in Masterman’s definition of media literacy is its role in the creation of a
freer society. Through an evaluation of the political significance of each existing approach, this paper identifies media
literacy education’s weaknesses and suggests theories and methodologies—particularly that of the critical theory of
The Frankfurt School—that might make for a more critical media literacy.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

The Internet has been recognized by social researchers as a medium with great potential for sexual and gender
minorities. Postmodern and queer ideas of non-essentialist identities in particular have found a fertile ground in the
new medium. However, based on our online survey of 761 Flemish lesbians, gay men and bisexuals (LGB) as well as
60 in-depth interviews, we argue that the potential of the Internet to explore fluid sexual identities may have been
overestimated. The majority of our research participants seem to be comfortable with their clear-cut sexual identities,
also when online. Not surprisingly, their Internet uses differ depending, for instance, on their age, gender and level of
engagement in LGB activism. In particular, they use the medium for LGB-related purposes more before and during
coming out. Even then, however, they rather go online to discover their ‘true’ sexualities than to challenge dominant
sexual norms.

As a case study, this paper investigated the media-movement interaction in the context of a grassroots environmental
movement in China. This paper introduced journalism as another social institution undergoing severe transformation
as “the other politics” to see how it was interwoven with the politics of social movement to generate new political
repertoires against both the authoritarian political culture and ideological media culture. Content analysis was used to
investigate the media frame's transformation during the movement. In-depth interviews were conducted with both
activists and journalists to explore the intention and interaction behind their frame strategies. This article aims to
explore both processes of how the media legitimized certain movements by incorporate the latter’s voice into public
discourse and how social movements offered civic discourses for journalists’ professional identity transform as the
resources for bottom-up media transformation. The collaborated contribution to the discursive contention in a
transformative society will be discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

According to experts in media literacy, young people become involved in media activism after they have developed
the ability to think critically and to understand the processes of media production and distribution. But how do young
people move from thinking critically to using media to create more equitable social arrangements and more
democratic media policies? This article argues that they do so by linking critical thinking with enhanced access to the
public realm -- and the catalyst in this process lies in providing young people with opportunities to reflect on their
relationship with media alongside others whose life experiences differ from their own. This paper analyzes the year-
long process that brought together high school students from refugee and immigrant backgrounds with university
students from relatively privileged backgrounds. The paper traces the process of guiding these two groups of young
people from digital media literacy to collective action by means of providing educational opportunities for them to
meet and work together on common interests. It argues that as young people experience themselves as visible within
communities where they were formerly invisible, and as they collaboratively discover shared and differing needs and
then seek ways to address them, they are able to start what may become a lifelong process of engagement in media
activism.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This article investigates the impact of centering on collinearity in regression models. Extant literature in social
sciences suggests that centering can reduce collinearity in linear models by suppressing correlation between variables.
Using both simulated and actual datasets, this article shows that centering could both increase and decrease some
collinearity diagnostics in multiplicative models. The impact of centering on collinearity is more cosmetic than
commonly thought because point estimates, standard errors, and variance explained stay the same after the centering.
This implies that correlation-based diagnostics such as VIF and tolerance are insucient for identifying collinearity.
Therefore, researchers should consult a range of diagnostics to identify the problem. Most importantly, only valid
research design and measurement could solve the problem of collinearity.

This study addressed U.S. and foreign Washington correspondents (N=118) understanding of professional freedom.
By adapting Bourdieu’s concept of illusio - as a practical sense of normative ideals and comparing such normative
ideals of professional freedom to journalists’ everyday newsgathering, the results reveal that journalists most likely
accept influence from their interaction with political sources. However, a comparison of journalists’ practical sense
with their everyday working experiences supports findings that point to the dependencies of the journalism field to
economic and political fields that have formed distinctive journalistic tradition around the world.

Applying Rancière’s (1999, 2007, 2008, 2010) notions of consensus, appearance, politics, disagreement, and
especially dissensus we examine Tim DeChristopher’s sentencing speech in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 26th, 2011.
DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in Federal Prison and fined $10,000 for bidding on oil and gas drilling
leases in an attempt to protect public lands located near Arches National Park in Utah. We illustrate DeChristopher’s
subjectification and his dissesnsual manifestation of the environmental world into the corporate-legal-judicial world
via his discussion of “bona fide bidder,” “protecting the public,” and “loss.” We provide for how DeChristopher’s
speech supplements our understanding of invitational rhetoric (Bone, Griffin, & Scholz, 2008; Foss & Griffin, 1994;
Lazano-Reich & Cloud, 2009), and how Ranciere offers insight into what social protest rhetoric recognizes as uncivil
discourse (Lazano-Reich & Cloud, 2008; Pearson & Lazano-Reich, 2009) as these rhetorical concepts of in/equality
inform our understandings of social protest rhetoric.

Drawing from the similarity-attraction theory, self-categorization theory and leader-member exchange theory, we
investigated whether dyad member’s demographic similarity/dissimilarity would affect how supervisors and
subordinates evaluate their relationships and organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, affective commitment,
in-role and extra-role performance in a Malaysia organization setting. Our analyses indicated that subordinate
relationships rating, gender, ethnic, religion and age dissimilarity were found to correlate with affect, loyalty and
professional respect dimensions. While in supervisor’s rating of relationships, gender, ethnicity, religion and age
similarity/dissimilarity were found only to correlate with professional respect dimension. In addition gender, ethnicity,
religion, age and organizational tenure similarity/dissimilarity were found to correlate with job satisfaction and extra-
role performance. The implications of these findings on leader-member exchange and relational demography research
are discussed in this article.

Narrative transportation has been argued to be an important mediator of narrative persuasion. However, as media
consumption moves online, audio-visual stories are increasingly being viewed in situations where interruptions and
multi-tasking are more frequent. In order to investigate the way in which transportation might work in a high-
distraction environment, the current study investigated the impact of distraction on transportation and its implications
for persuasive outcomes. 126 participants were shown a short, privacy-themed, narrative film in either a low or high
distraction condition. Participants in the high-distraction condition reported being less transported than those in the
low-distraction condition and transportation was not significantly related to endorsement of story-consistent beliefs
within the high-transportation condition. Need for cognition was a significant moderator of the relationship between
experimental condition and transportation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This article examines whether a mixture of virtual and real-life interaction—in contrast to purely virtual interaction—
among some members of online communities for teachers is beneficial for all teachers’ professional development in
the whole community. Earlier research indicated that blended communities tend to face fewer trust and free rider
problems. This study continues this stream of research by examining whether blended communities provide more
practical benefits to teachers, both in terms of improvements to their teaching capabilities as well as for their
substantial understanding of their core topic. The analysis uses survey data from 26 online communities for secondary
education teachers in The Netherlands. The communities are part of a virtual organization that hosts communities for
teachers’ professional development. The findings indeed show beneficial effects of blended communities. Moreover,
the results modify earlier claims about the integration of online communication with offline interaction by showing
that complete integration is unnecessary. This facilitates a scaling up of the use of online communities for teachers’
professional development.

The so-called “balanced news,” which equalize the number of conflicting expert statements, has been criticized as
creating an incorrect impression of scientific uncertainty among readers. In this study, we aim to explore whether
exposing to “balanced news” will lead audience members to perceive scientists as being collectively uncertain about
their work. Moreover, given the inherent relationship between perceived uncertainty and risk perception, the effects of
“balanced news” on people’s risk perception is also examined. The participants were exposed to three manipulated
news articles that gave different weights to contradictory scientific findings regarding the cosmetics using
nanotechnology. In fact, it might be the negative information that prompted participants to be concerned with
scientists’ certainty regarding the risk issue, not the “balanced” component of the messages. The potential implication
of balanced reporting as a dominant journalistic norm on public understanding of science is discussed.

The increasing use of the Internet as a venue of citizens’ public discussion has attracted scholars’ attention regarding
political implications of on-line discussion about controversial public issues. In this study, we are interested in
whether and how others’ comments on a mainstream news story influence individuals’ perceptions of other citizens’
opinions and their discourse activities. For this purpose, the current study experimentally manipulated the tone of
commentaries (civility vs. incivility) on a mainstream news clip about a controversial issue. With this manipulation,
we attempted to explore how the tone of discussion shapes individuals’ perception of public opinion polarization,
their discussion motivations, and willingness to engage in online expression. The results revealed that participants
who were exposed to uncivil comments showed more exaggerated perceptions of political ingroup and outgroup
opinion and greater willingness to engage in online expression than participants in the control group. In addition, the
current study found interaction effects of party identity strength and incivility on outcome variables, suggesting that
incivility trigger a growing process where voices of the extreme minority get stronger and more pervasive in public
sphere by influencing perceived magnitude of polarization in public opinion
Do Fear-Appeal Media Messages Work in China? Effects of Law Enforcement, Perceived Consequences, and
Injunctive Norms on Drinking-and-Driving Behavior Among Chinese Students, Xiaojing Shen, Hohai U; Chien-fei
Chen, U of Tennessee

Presented at the following event:

5530. Message Features and Segmentation Strategies: Theorizing and Measuring Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This research investigates the interactive effects of law enforcement, perceived consequences and injunctive norms on
Chinese drinking-and-driving behavior. Chinese undergraduates (N = 208) were randomly assigned to read the news
about alcohol-impaired driving that varied by law enforcement (strong versus weak) and perceived consequences
(health versus social). As predicted, media messages highlighting weak law enforcement with health consequence
produced the highest levels of behavioral control over not drinking-and-driving and perceived risk of drinking-and-
driving than other types of messages. Weak law enforcement with health consequence messages were the most
effective ones to influence behavioral control and perceived risk among individuals high in injunctive norms whereas
strong law enforcement with social consequence messages were the least effective ones to affect their behavioral
control and perceptions. Both social consequence and strong law enforcement messages are more likely to affect
behavioral control among individuals low in injunctive norms than their counterparts. Contrary to expectation,
perceived consequences and law enforcement did not have any interactive effect for those low in injunctive norms. In
addition, manipulated messages did not influence individuals’ intention to drink and drive.
Do Judges Perceive Value in Voter Guides for Judicial Elections?, Jeffrey A. Gottfried, U of Pennsylvania; Eran N.
Ben-Porath, Social Science Research Solutions; Kathleen Hall Jamieson, U of Pennsylvania

Presented at the following event:

7134. State-Press Relationships and Diplomacy
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

As judicial elections have become “noisier, nastier, and costlier” (Geyh 2003), some have voiced concern over
whether these elections now resemble those for the other branches of government. The fear is that judges and the
courts will be viewed as unfavorably as their political counterparts and citizens will vote for judges as they would for
legislators. This article centers on voter guides as a possible counterbalance to these “noisy” elections. Through a
survey of 1,618 appellate and general jurisdiction judges nationwide, we examine judges’ experiences with and
perceptions of voter guides. We find that judges think voters are ill-informed about the courts and that judicial
campaign ads offer poor and misleading information. Along these lines, a vast majority supports distributing official
voter guides during an election. We also discuss judges’ perceptions of certain types of information found in voter
guides, such as candidate bios, vote criteria, and candidates’ issue positions.
Do Personal Narratives Predict Cognitive Changes? An Investigation of Online Health Support Group Participation,
Weirui Wang, Florida International U

Presented at the following event:

5155. Engaging Social Media in Health Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

An experimental study (N = 143) was conducted to investigate how people generated personal narratives in an online
health support group and how the narrative modes and frames used in particular were related to health attitudes and
behavioral intentions reported later. The findings of this study suggested that participants were more likely to use a
third-person support frame after reading another person’s negative experiences in online health support groups.
Further, narrative exposure in such groups made participants use a significantly greater amount of the transformation
mode to construct their personal narratives. Approaching statistical significance, the length of the transformation
mode in each personal narrative was positively correlated with health attitudes and behavioral intentions. In addition,
the use of a third-person support frame predicted a more favorable health attitude among participants. These findings
shed new light on the benefits of online health support group participation. Potential implications are discussed.
Documenting Presence of Technological Attributes on User-Generated Content Web Sites With a Quantitative
Content Analysis: A Mix-of-Attributes Investigation, Ivan B Dylko, New Mexico State U

Presented at the following event:

5135. Online Political Participation
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The present study builds upon the theoretical work of Eveland (2003) who introduced the mix-of-attributes (MOA)
approach for theorizing about media effects, and upon the theoretical work of Dylko and McCluskey (in press) who
identified five technological attributes of political user-generated content (UGC) to help develop a systematic
understanding of the political UGC nature and potential effects. In this study, the most popular political UGC sites are
content analyzed to obtain a detailed description of the attribute presence. Cluster analysis is used to develop a
theoretically and empirically grounded classification of political UGC. This study shows how the conventional and the
attribute-based classifications of UGC differ. Implications of the attributes, attribute-based classification, and the
MOA approach are discussed.
Does Culture Affect How We Play? Examining the Effect of Culture Orientations on Expected Outcomes and Usage
Patterns of Social Network Games, Yu-Hao Lee, Michigan State U; Donghee Yvette Wohn, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Social network game (SNG) embedded in social network sites are one of the driving forces behind the expansion of
digital gamer populations. Previous studies have observed difference in usage patterns between people in different
ethnic groups and countries, suggesting that culture orientations may affect how people play and interact through
social network games. This study included measures of vertical and horizontal individualism-collectivism to examine
how people’s culture orientations affect usage patterns. The findings indicate that culture does not directly affect
usage. Instead, culture orientations affect people’s motivations (expected outcomes) of playing social network games,
which then result in different usage patterns.

7323. Predictors of Online Participation and Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

High attrition and lurking threaten the sustainability and effectiveness of online communities. Regarding this,
previous studies have emphasized the impact of group size on user participation and attachment because it is closely
related to capability to provide resources to the members. This paper delineated (a) how the patterns of participation
changes as the group size increases, (b) how the change in group size affects members attachment, and (c) what is the
optimal size to maximize participation and to minimize member attrition. The results revealed a negative relation
between group size and active participation (i.e., posting messages in discussion group). However, we found a
quadratic relation in which group size is negatively associated with attachment (e.g., page views, time spent, and span
of active use) up to certain point yet the influence of group size became positive if the group size is above certain
threshold (i.e., approximately 250 in this study).
Does TV Viewing Cultivate Meritocracy?, Carmen Stavrositu, U of Colorado - Colorado Springs

Presented at the following event:

6253. Extended Session: Theory and Research in Memory for Media Content: Cultivation and Beyond
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

The present study examined whether TV viewing cultivates meritocratic belief systems in heavy viewers. Drawing
from Cultivation Theory, a survey of US respondents (N = 121) was conducted to assess the relationships between
overall TV viewing as well as genre-specific TV viewing (i.e., competition-based reality TV), and adherence to a
meritocratic belief system. Findings based on hierarchical regression analyses indicate that both overall TV viewing
and genre-specific TV viewing serve to enhance heavy viewer’s tendency to subscribe to a meritocratic worldview.
Theoretical and practical implications are discussed at the end.
Does the Filter Still Work? How Voters Perceive Party Advertising on Television, Christina Holtz-Bacha, U of
Erlangen - Nuremberg; Bengt Mauritz Johansson, Gothenburg U

Presented at the following event:

7534. Election Campaign Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Party affiliation is considered as one of the most important factors explaining voter’s party choice, but also a strong
intervening variable when it comes to the effectiveness of electoral advertising. The question raised in this study is to
what extent party affiliation explains voters judgments of electoral advertising, which was investigated by using panel
data carried out during the Swedish general election campaign 2010. The results show that party affiliation still
functions as a filter when voters are exposed to electoral advertising. The findings are suggested to be understood
against the background of cognitive dissonance theory and selective exposure according to which people try to avoid a
state of cognitive dissonance by avoiding information that conflicts with their attitudes.
Does the Unknown Information Matter for Online Daters?, Chengjun WANG, City University of Hong Kong;

Presented at the following event:

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The purpose of this study is twofold: first, in the perspective of homophily, to integrate self-disclosure into online
dating in the context of computer-mediated communication, and second, to test and verify how self-disclosure and
trust influence online dating behavior, in terms of receiver effect and selective mixing (i.e. homophily and
heterophily). By building ERG model of clicking behavior that uses the network data derived from a leading Chinese
online dating website (Jiayuan.com), this study finds that: users disclose most of their information on the dating
website, and their online clicking behaviors are varied with the aspects of information disclosed by themselves and
their target daters. However, the directions of receiver effect and selective mixing are mixed, and are contingent upon
the rewarding value and salience of the disclosed information respectively. The results support the "less is more"
effect (Norton, Frost, & Ariely, 2007), and highlight the nature of the disclosed information.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Academics directing their research, teaching, and service to discuss issues related to university co-option (including
government’s neoliberal-driven policies) and colleagues’ cooperation with the corporate-government-military
complex can face challenges with significant professional consequences. This presentation examines three rationales
employed by engaged academics that live with these challenges in Israel, and presumably beyond: [1] One can
navigate amidst breeches to produce and share social-justice oriented knowledge. [2] Former may be true, but be
prepared to live with the consequences should you challenge foundational myths (e.g., research and teaching about
media treatment/avoidance of reporting on Palestinian displacement and land expropriation or advising effective
media use to advance the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement). [3] Transgression of social
boundaries is of the essence in social science scholarship; it opens up new perspectives, creativity, and hybridity; can
involve censure and banishment; requires personal fortitude, supportive global communities, and alternative
professional options. Peter Lemish is currently a faculty member appointed to the Global Media Research Center at
Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Previously, he was a faculty member, department chair, and academic
director in various higher education institutions in Israel. His research focuses on the roles of the media in social
change and conflict transformation as well as civil society organizations’ media use. A recent publication related to

The field of mobile health is exploding with new devices and applications geared to monitoring people’s physical
activity. From a technology standpoint, there are many devices and programs geared toward the aspiring fitness buff.
But, what about other users who don’t fit that profile? How do we get the non- exercisers involved? The study of
persuasion technology and fitness activity routines is a large field populated with researchers studying motivational
behavior and user participation. However, this paper will survey the field of exercise gaming, highlight the user
experience challenges faced in current fitness applications, and how that feedback resulted in the creation of Doki
Doki Dash. Doki Doki Dash is a conceptual mobile fitness app that uses a mystery game to get players outdoors,
solving crime and getting fit. In the game, players become detectives in accepting crime cases, gathering clues and
hunting criminals. Doki Doki Dash’s storyline is propelled by the player’s physical movements – as the players get
more active in movement, the more the game rewards them by propelling them down the mystery trail – and further
into the interactive game. Doki Doki Dash attempts to provide a gaming interface for personal fitness that rewards
players for their curiosity and also takes advantage of a player’s neighborhood space. As a proposed mobile
application, it would utilize smartphone’s sensors to trigger events based on the player’s physical activity and location
status. Doki Doki Dash proposes using an interactive game narrative to mask exertion for users. The result is a fitness
game application that centers arounds exploration, social play, and an imaginary world set around a user’s real-world
environment. References: 1. Amireault, S., Godin, G., Vohl, M.C., Perusse, L.: Moderators of the intention-behaviour

Don’t Conceive the Hype: Slowing the Flow of Musical Information in the Digital Era, Eric Harvey, Indiana U

Presented at the following event:

8240. Controlling the Promotional Flow: Managing Discourse and Data in Popular Music Culture
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

We’re often told of digital technology’s revolutionary affordances for cheap, instantaneous musical publicity.
Streaming music, free mp3 downloads, and a YouTube and social media presence are always positively valued tools
with which to launch a career. Much less addressed are ways to stanch the flow, withhold information, or maintain a
strong sense of control in the face of rapid technological change. Drawing from my last two years of fieldwork, this
paper intervenes in music promotion and new media discourses by highlighting interesting and overlapping ways in
which artists and labels attempt to cease the circulation of information. Through examples of a label engineering
grassroots hype for a young band while keeping its own brand out of the way, unsigned artists adopting unGoogleable
monikers, and independent artists convening a conference panel to swap strategies for maintaining DIY ethics online,
I address and analyze unique strategies for negotiating musical secrecy and slowness in the digital realm. Eric Harvey
is a PhD candidate at Indiana University, in the departments of Communication and Culture and Ethnomusicology.
His dissertation focuses on the ways in which new technologies have impacted music circulation and value. During
2010-11, he was a Mellon Graduate Fellow for IU’s Sawyer Seminar “Rupture and Flow,” which addressed the
cultural, material, and social forces that facilitate and/or interrupt the circulation of facts and objects. He recently
contributed a chapter to the volume Managing Media Work (Sage, 2010) dealing with the changes and continuities of
digital-era music careers. Eric has also worked as a professional music critic for five years, writing for such outlets as
Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, the Atlantic, the Village Voice, and the Onion A.V. Club.

In most cases, people receive information about films and television shows prior to viewing. This information may be
received via a preview or movie trailer, from a friend who has already seen the show, or from other various sources.
The question arises as to what impact this prior information might have on the enjoyment of and immersion into the
narrative. An experiment was conducted with 83 undergraduate students to assess this question. Results revealed that
those who received positive information about the main character of a television show identified with her more than
those who received negative information about her. More interestingly, though, identification was revealed as a
significant moderator of the relationship between character information valence and enjoyment, in that those who
identified highly and received negative information enjoyed the show less than those who identified highly and
received positive information.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

As crowd-funded journalism serves as a novel model to sustain local news reporting, the present study seeks to
identify the major driving forces behind readers’ donations. In the process of unpacking donors’ motivations to fund
local and investigative news stories on Spot.us, a pioneer of crowd-funded journalism websites, a total of nine
motivations (altruistic, fun, image, utility, self-esteem, reporter, ideology, social, and community) were explored. The
present study combined self-reported survey (n=344) data with behavioral data from complete donation records
obtained from the Spot.us server. The results show that ideology (e.g., I want to encourage this type of news reporting)
and altruistic (e.g., I want to help people or improve situations featured in the story) motivations were ranked high in
the self-reported data. However, fun (e.g., it’s entertaining to donate) and reporter (e.g., I want to support the reporter)
motivations were strong predictors for actual increases in donation.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Two experiments were conducted to determine if using a popular racing game on a PS3 video game console could be
used as a tool to change attitudes toward distracted driving. Results from the first pre-test, post-test experiment
indicated that those in a video game simulated texting and driving condition showed greater attitude change by
reporting less likelihood of distracted driving when compared to a talking while driving condition and a non-distracted
driving control group. These findings are consistent with predictions from the ACT-R cognitive architecture and
threaded cognition theory. A second experiment manipulated the original protocol by establishing a non-distracted
baseline for participant’s driving abilities as a comparison. Results demonstrated that this manipulation resulted in a
significantly stronger attitude change against distracted driving. Implications from both experiments help to inform
driving safety programs on proper protocol for the use of game consoles to change attitudes toward distracted driving.

8228. Rethinking Audience Participation: The Role of Users in News Creation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In a turbulent era of convergence journalism, online newspapers have encouraged a more-participatory role among its
readers. Recognizing the host of ways online users engage online media with user-generated content (UGC), online
newspapers have offered reader comment forums. They have also appealed to social media users by featuring links to
social media sites. However, little is known about who is posting comments, why they are posting them, and what
media-use habits might be a predictor of either. This study seeks to explore the relationship between media use and
online newspaper comment creation, including identifying possible predictors toward comment creation. To analyze
survey data from 537 undergraduate respondents, five variable groupings were created consisting of: news media
consumption, social media consumption, off line media consumption, online content consumption variables and online
content generation variables. Results show that the variable group that contained the online content creation variables
best predicted comment creation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

New ICTs and the Internet in particular have offered significant opportunities for citizen-based media production and
for bypassing established gatekeepers. As a result, innovative forms of networked action are challenging traditional
notions of civil society. Based on the proliferation of new technologies, the spread of trans-border delocalised
communities, and the increasing disillusionment with traditional forms of organization, civic action is becoming
increasingly flexible, temporary and elusive. This type of non-traditionally organized collective action often stays
below the radar of public discourse, and does not have a space in governance. Nevertheless, such groups do play a
crucial role in building the digital backbone of contemporary social movements, enabling innovative forms of
organizing and protest typical of the digital age. In this paper, we characterize online networked action as an emerging
form of organized civil society enabled by ICTs, and investigate cyberactivists’ organizational forms, repertoires of
action, and attitude towards policymaking.

Historically, it has been difficult to empirically capture the process dynamics of communication. However, the recent
rise of computational modeling has allowed researchers to uncover dynamics in physics, chemistry, economics, and
other disciplines. This study applies computational modeling to capture process dynamics of communication in a two-
person negotiation. Model parameters are derived from empirical studies of divorce negotiation and instantiated in a
computational simulation. The model allows us to run 1200 simulated negotiations across a variety of beginning
conditions in order to locate patterns of dynamical communication processes. Frame convergence processes are
revealed, suggesting future directions for targeted hypothesis testing.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Skin conductance provides the inexpensive and non-reactive measure of electrodermal activity (EDA) that is widely
used as an indicator of activation or arousal. However, the applicability and significance of common EDA parameters
is limited to a distinct stimulus paradigm. In communication research audiovisual stimuli are often not distinct; they
are complex, cumula-tive, multidimensional, overlapping and time-dependant. For such cases this article proposes to
indicate general activation by EDA positive change (EPC). This parameter is easily calcu-lated from skin conductance
measures and indicates intrapersonal activation especially during short exposure intervals more valid than other
common parameters of EDA do. EPC is com-pared to these common and widely used parameters. EDA-data from 117
subjects are used to demonstrate validity and robustness of EPC. Assets and drawbacks are discussed against the
background of theoretical and practical issues.

Presented at the following event:

5231. Extended Session: Media Policy Meets Media Studies: Intersecting Histories
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Accounts about the beginning of survey research in the world have forgotten Latin America. This paper attempts to
shows an important yet forgotten effort undertaken by both US Government Agencies and private enterprises to get a
clear picture of public opinion in several Latin American countries in the years previous to and during World War II.
This chapter of early social surveys in Latin America can rightly reshape the “official” history of American
communication studies. Firstly, giving due credit to Hadley Cantril for being the first person who gave scientific
communication research an international and intercultural dimension. Secondly, showing that, although not
completely articulated, the framing of community in research carried out in Latin American pointed out the
importance of interpersonal relations and strong cultural bonds for communication processes. While other framings of
community ―like Lazarsfeld and Katz’s Personal Influence analysis― approached it as an obstacle to media
persuasion, the idea of community underlying early public opinion studies in Latin America clearly pointed toward the
comprehension of particularities.

Matthew Powers, New York U

Presented at the following event:

5134. Politics in the News, News About Politics
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

What role do non-governmental organizations play in shaping humanitarian and human rights news? Existing
scholarship tends to view these organizations as captured by an all-encompassing ‘media logic’ and fails to understand
what issues shape NGO information production prior to their seeking news coverage. To remedy this shortcoming,
this paper asks what NGO information work looks like, why it takes the form it does and how it relates to news media
coverage. It finds a variable NGO logic, characterized by a tension between an organization’s stated aims and its
institutional objectives. This logic corresponds to two distinct publics for humanitarian and human rights news: a
general public addressed as potential donor and an elite public involved in debating issues. These findings suggest that
understanding the role of NGOs in shaping news coverage is as much about understanding structural affinities
between organizations and news outlets as it is about their direct interaction.

This study examined a form of eco-entertainment to investigate how viewing pro-environmental messages within
entertainment programming affected the accessibility of research participants’ (N = 380) environmental attitudes,
descriptive norm perceptions, and injunctive norm perceptions. Participants’ intent to perform modeled and related
environmental behaviors was also measured. Participants completed an online pretest regarding their environmental
attitudes, and, one week later, were randomly assigned to view one of two HGTV television clips that either included
or did not include pro-environmental messages. Participants then reported their attitudes, perceptions of norms,
behavioral intent, and completed attitude and norm accessibility latency measures. Exposure to the pro-environmental
messages was associated with significantly more accessible pro-environmental attitudes. Although prior pro-
environmental attitudes were the strongest predictor of behavioral intent, both attitude accessibility and injunctive
norm accessibility significantly improved the variance accounted for. Unanticipated effects of viewing pro-
environmental messages on perceptions of descriptive norms were identified and are discussed.

There is evidence that the media fails to report accurate information about eating disorders and that these incomplete
depictions may facilitate readers making positive associations with thinness. The present study investigated the effect
of magazine presentations of eating disorders on implicit thinness associations. College women (N=161) were
randomly assigned to read either an article in People downplaying the negative consequences of eating disorders, an
article in People providing a more accurate picture, an eating disorder article in Newsweek, or a control article.
Participants then completed an Implicit Association Test (IAT), testing automatic associations made between “thin”
and “good” or “bad” attributes. While the People magazine groups’ IAT scores were not significantly different from
the control group, the Newsweek group had significantly lower IAT scores, indicating a protective effect of
dampening participants’ positive associations with thinness. Articles differentially affected positive thinness
associations and suggestions for safer reporting strategies are offered.

This research aims to present a technique for studying the concept of “localism” as it pertains to and is connected with
theories exhibited through the Elaboration Likelihood Model and persuasion theories of communication. By assessing
this concept through health-based communication in regards to audiences’ sentiments on relevancy and issue
involvement, this work attempts to establish a means for studying localism quantitatively. Implementing experimental
research methods, the study looks to ascertain perceived differences in participants’ perceptions based on the presence
or lack of localized content. Participants with higher levels of issue involvement related to physical activity reported
increased levels of intention to participate in exercise. Although there were no main effects found between local
content and images and perceived relevance, interaction effects between local content and images were found to be
related to perceived relevance.

The amount of money spent on online advertising has seen a large increase over the past decade. It is known that
online ads are prone to lose their effectiveness due to an effect known as “banner blindness”. One way to increase the
impact of banner ads is matching them to their context. On websites, advertising can be matched to various elements
within the editorial content of the surrounding site (e.g. pictures and text elements). No empirical study has yet tested
whether visual or textual content contribute more to banner awareness. Our study tested different context
congruencies and their impact on awareness, retention and attitude towards an advertisement. We used eye-tracking
and post-hoc measures to account for effects on visual attention and further information processing. Results indicate
that complete context congruence including both visual and textual elements leads to higher visual awareness, better
retention and better attitudes towards the advertisement.

The current study investigates the effects of 3D displays (shuttered display vs. polarized display). First, people
experienced superior fidelity and brightness when they watched 2D images on a shuttered display, rather than on a
polarized display. Conversely, people experienced greater brightness when they watched 3D images on a polarized
display, rather than on a shuttered display. Second, people were able to read a smaller font or characters on a shuttered
display than on a polarized display. Third, people noticed flickering on a shuttered display when they watched 3D
images. In addition, the perceived brightness of a screen positively correlated with physical presence, enjoyment,
content satisfaction, and sensory satisfaction. The flickering also has negative correlation with enjoyment, and sensory
satisfaction.

5320. Media Content and Public Perceptions of Real and Imagined Threats
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

A news report about confrontational robberies by adolescent groups in Mexican resorts presented statistics with or
without personalized cases of victimization. Readers estimated the risk of harm to victims and the extent of their
suffering. They also indicated the risk that they themselves would come upon, along with concerns for their own
safety. The readers’ numeric ability was ascertained thereafter. A trisection of this ability showed that persons of high
ability, compared to those of lower ability, overestimated others’ risk but underestimated their own, this despite
indicating greater concerns for their own safety. These results were not altered by consideration of the readers’
empathic, experiential, and rational traits. The incorporation of personalized cases of victimization in the news report
did not appreciably influence risk assessments. The involvement of cases resulting in major bodily injury, however,
increased estimates of the incidence of such robberies.

This study examines the effects of narration modes (first-person versus third-person) on sympathy for and intentions
to help people in need. The study found an expected positive effect of first-person narration on the outcome variables
under study. Also as anticipated, the positive effects of first-person narration on the outcome variables were more
evident among male participants than among female participants. The findings shed light on how media portrayals of
human suffering can increase sympathy for people in need and mobilize public support for government interventions
that benefit these people. More importantly, the findings suggest how to call forth help via the media from people
who are not normally inclined to offer help to those in need.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study tests the impact of media emphasis of issues, candidates, and parties on voting intentions in a longitudinal
design. It draws on the media priming approach and hypothesizes that media coverage shifts the weighting of
evaluations of issues, candidates, and parties in voting decisions (decision-weight). It uses data from the 2009 German
Longitudinal Election study, with day-by-day media (content analysis) and public opinion (RCS survey) time-series. It
finds that media primarily covered parties rather than candidates or issues. For parties, marked priming effects were
identified after party rallys, but the effects regressed until Election Day. In most cases, the decision-weights of
candidate and issue evaluations did not react to coverage of candidates and issues but rather reacted to media attention
towards the parties. Theoretical and practical implications of findings are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study explores causes and consequences of gatekeeping trust, a new media trust construct defined as trust that the
news media selects stories based on judgments the importance of problems. If this form of trust rooted in ignorance of
newsworthiness criteria is what drives agenda setting effects, these effects are a miscommunication between the media
and the public, and perhaps a correctable one. An experiment manipulating exposure to and expression of media
criticism finds gatekeeping trust can be reduced without also affecting more desirable forms of media trust.
Gatekeeping trust is also found to be the only media trust construct to positively predict agenda cueing and negatively
predict agenda reasoning. We conclude that media criticism focused on newsworthiness criteria offers hope of
improving public prioritization of problems by shifting the mechanism of agenda setting away from taking cues from
mere coverage and towards active processing of reasons for issue importance.

Can playing exergames motivate sedentary people to exercise? What aspects of exergames can facilitate people’s
desires or intentions to engage in actual physical exercise? Will the type of self-regulatory goal-striving process that
individuals adopt moderate their own health behavior? A 4 (levels of modality-interactivity) × 2 (levels of promotion
focus) between-subjects experiment was conducted to explore the effect of modality-interactivity in augmented
virtuality-based exergames on participants’ perceived presence, physiological reactivity (measured by heart rate),
exergame playing intention, and exercise intention. The potential moderating role of individual regulatory focus also
was examined. There was a significant main effect of exergame interactivity on presence, heart rate, and exergame
playing intention, but not on exercise intention (N = 159). In addition, individual differences in regulatory focus
significantly moderated psychological and psychophysiological reactions to the exergame playing experience.

An experiment was conducted in which listeners heard radio commercials and public service announcements
bookending radio news with either no background music or with music differing in its layers of percussion
instrumentation. Memory for and enjoyment of the promotional content were assessed. According to the results,
highly complex music appeared to hinder cognitive processing of the content immediately following the news,
especially when compared to memory of the content featured prior to the news with music bed. Attitude toward the
promotional content was independent of the ability to recall specific promotional spots. Rather, attitude toward the
promotional content was positively related to attitude toward the radio station.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The current generation of young children has been described as “digital natives”, having been born into a ubiquitous
digital media environment. They are envisaged as educationally independent of the guided interaction provided by
“digital immigrants”: parents and teachers. This paper uses data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children
(LSAC) to study children’s (aged 0-8 years) development of vocabulary and traditional literacy; access to digital
devices; parental mediation practices; the child’s use of digital devices as recorded in time-diaries and, finally, the
association between patterns of media use and family contexts on children’s learning. The analysis shows the
importance of the parental context framing media use in acquisition of vocabulary, and suggests that computer (but
not games) use is associated with more developed language skills. Independently of these factors raw exposure to
television is not harmful to learning.

Extant research is not very specific about when campaigns matter for vote choice. In this paper, we assess multiple
influences of the media on vote choice in several countries based on European Parliamentary (EP) election campaign
data from 21 countries. We rely on a two-wave panel voter survey (N=32,418), asking both vote intentions before the
campaign and reported vote for 175 parties. We link these data to media content data of campaign coverage between
the two waves in these countries (N=36,881). We conclude that, on average, the more positive the evaluations of the
EU a voter is exposed to, the less likely s/he is to cast a vote for a Eurosceptic party. We also find indications of other
media effects in countries with high dispersion of parties on EU issues. This suggests that the 2009 European election
outcome was influenced by how the media covered EU-related news during the campaign.

On YouTube anti-smoking PSAs are widely viewed and uploaded; they also receive extensive commentary by
viewers. Viewers of these health messages are exposed to the comments accompanying them. This study examined
whether such evaluative comments with or without uncivil expressions influence evaluations when viewed
subsequently by others. Results showed PSAs with positive (i.e. anti-smoking) comments were perceived by smokers
as more effective than PSAs with negative (pro smoking) comments. Smokers in the no comment condition gave the
highest perceived effectiveness (PE) score to PSAs. Smokers’ readiness to quit smoking moderated the effect of
comments on PSA evaluation. The most hardcore smokers considered the PSAs ineffective no matter what comments
they saw. Smokers reading negative uncivil comments reported more negative attitude toward quitting and a lower
level of perceived risk of smoking than those reading negative civil comments but positive civil and positive uncivil
comments didn’t elicit different responses.

In the past two decades, cable television and the Internet have greatly increased the availability of media content. The
phenomenon has reinvigorated a withstanding scholar debate about the effects this media landscape may have, as
people selectively get exposed to specific content. Based on US national survey data, this paper advances research in
this area by analyzing the interplay between individuals’ ideological predispositions, their selective exposure to cable
news channels, and their attitudes towards Mexican immigration. Results indicate conservative Republicans are more
likely to watch FOX News, which in turn is associated with negative perceptions of Mexican immigrants and higher
support for restrictive immigration policies.

There is growing evidence that self-affirmation can reduce defensive processing of threatening health messages
among high risk individuals. However, how self-affirmation might influence low risk individuals is less clear. This
study examined the effect of self-affirmation on daily vs. occasional smokers’ reactions to graphic on-pack warning
labels. Results showed a relatively consistent pattern wherein self-affirmation increased favorable reactions to the
warning labels among daily smokers, but decreased such reactions among occasional smokers. Potential explanations
of these findings are offered and their practical implications are discussed.

Visual aspects of self‐representation – as profile pictures in Social Network Sites – can serve as important information
cues while evaluating information published by “prod-users” from many-facetted ethnic contexts. Here, the concept of
visual framing describes how aspects of a perceived reality are selected and made more salient by framing them with
particular pictures, suggesting specific evaluations of a text. The blogging service Facebook Notes is one example
where the author’s profile picture visually frames his/her user-generated text, thus affecting its evaluation. Against
this background, we utilize an online experiment to examine what influence different visual ethnic stereotypes as
visual frames have on the evaluation of texts in Facebook Notes. In line with theoretical assumptions, results indicate
several effects of visual ethnic stereotypes on the perception of textual information, helping to understand how visual
self-representations of Social Web users from different ethnic contexts affect the perception and evaluation of their
communication online.

“We should raise our children to be like the Egyptian youth”, US president Barak Obama recently announced (Obama,
2011). The latest massive demonstrations that swept Egypt and resulted in the ousting of the former president
Mubarak earlier this year have drawn the attention to Egyptian young activists. It has been argued that the turmoil is
ascribed by large to political activism and mobilization efforts mainly practiced by a new generation of well-educated
Egyptian youth. Their active purposive use of new media along with mobile telephony could be seen as the
centerpiece of mobilization for the revolt. Drawing on quantitative survey data from a snowball sample of 376 young
Egyptian activists supplemented by qualitative data from focus group discussions, this article attempts to shed light on
and specifically analyze these assertions by reporting some early observations from a mixed methods study which was
conducted immediately prior to the revolt in Egypt. In particular it explores young activists’ perceptions of the
potential of social media for empowering citizens in authoritarian regimes. It thus helps situating social media in the
spectrum of civic empowerment by gauging activists’ motivations for utilizing those outlets for political participation
aimed at acquiring social and political change. Away from slipping into an oversimplified statement by ascribing the
whole inclination towards change to social media, this article sets out to discuss and analyze how young Egyptian
activists perceive the role that new interactive media may have played in reconstructing a new form of democratic
culture among Egyptian citizens. This emergent culture could have served as a base for a new civic agency that may
push the country towards democratic transition. Given that “civil society is not one homogeneous entity, but rather a
heterogeneous sphere in which various groups exist and at times mobilize; sometimes together, sometimes apart,
sometimes together against the state, sometimes alone against each other” (Kopecký & Mudde, 2003, p. 9), I argue
that a form of civic culture is evolving among a vibrant cohort of Egyptian non-traditional civil society buttressed by
the attributes of social media. This emergent civic culture on the one hand, might empower young activists and enable
them to act as a civic agency that could be capable of bridging to, mobilizing, and leading the ‘popular civil society’ to
participate collectively in the public sphere. It might also suggest on the other hand, that the Egyptian society, or more
precisely parts of it, is following a Western model of democratization, and that a vibrant civil society could serve as
the catalyst for transformation towards a healthy participatory form of government. Nevertheless, understanding such
alleged modularity requires a “strong empirical and grounded analysis within ‘local’ cultures” as an opposite dynamic
could be also possible (Sreberny, 2001, p. 117). In the specific case of the Egyptian society, I shall argue that using
social media for political mobilization has played a significant role in alleviating some of the illnesses of the civic
society under a repressive regime where a very tiny fraction of the population controls, manipulates, and enjoys the
resources of the country. Through committed, purposive use of social media I suggest that a process of ‘networking
civic cultivation’ has been enacted within the Egyptian cultural milieu affording young activists 1) a better sense of
the public sphere, 2) more skilful political practices (acquiring participatory competences), 3) reconstructed collective
identity, and 4) private preparation for public participation (bowling online and snowballing offline). These civic
culture manifestations are discussed in the light of an understanding of the societal and political specifications of the
Egyptian society.

Abstract This study examines the use of Twitter as a strategy for organization-public relationship building. This
exploratory study revealed that a publics’ perceived relationship with an organization via Twitter is dependent on
many relational components. This study applied the elaboration likelihood model to measure the perceived
organizational-public relationship of 48 participants assigned to one of four organizations’ official Twitter accounts
over a two-week period. Participants received tweets from the assigned organization’s Twitter account their mobile
devices. A 2 (low-interactive and high-interactive corporate accounts) x 4 (publics’ level Twitter use) analysis of
variance indicated that a publics’ level of Twitter use and a company’s level of interactivity influence the perceived
organization-public relationship. These results support the notion that the locus of interactivity is hosted by both the
individual and the application. The present study advances this notion of dual-hosting by suggesting that interactivity
varies by relational components. Keywords: online relationship building, elaboration likelihood model, Twitter

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

What determines how audiences evaluate media performance? Will they judge according to a set of journalistic
standards like professionalism and credibility? Or they simply like what they want. This research elaborates the
established dichotomy of “Uses and Gratifications” to have an additional scrutiny on the role of news frames --- the
source of influence, and the corresponding psychological patterns of news processing in affecting evaluation criteria.
Contextualized in Hong Kong, a large‐scale content analysis was conducted with a sample of 14217 pieces of valid
news, followed up with an audience telephone survey. We found that readers with utilitarian purpose differ from those
with hedonic purpose in media exposure, and frames of news influence audiences’ final judgment of media
performance mediated by the type of information processing. A more integrative model of U&G is developed, as we
call it the Elaboration Model of Uses & Gratifications.

This paper presents an empirical study with children and discusses how Social Network Analysis (SNA) could be
valuable in sensing children sociability with their peers as well their participation in a Web 2.0 platform. For one year
long, participant observation took place under a “Media Education and Citizenship program” aimed to four-grades of
an elementary private school in Lisbon. The learning program made usage of a Web Site. Apart from establishing
statistic information about individual accounts usage, such as: who posts first, who participates more on polls, who
creates and publishes more content, we are particularly interested in the analysis of the relations among community
“actors”- the social network. Under the present study, the findings related to group social cohesion and power, will be
presented and SNA is discussed as a potential tool to evaluate children participation in their school community and its
relation with children well-being and learning outcomes.

Although harmful effects of media content have received a great deal of attention among media scholars, more recent
research in entertainment psychology has begun to examine the beneficial and pro-social outcomes of media
consumption. In the present study we examine the effects of viewing tender or elevating media entertainment on
social-reality beliefs. An experiment was conducted in which individuals viewed a brief video clip from a tender,
tragic, or humorous film. The results showed that the tender film resulted in the highest levels of elevation (e.g.,
inspiring, tender), with elevation, in turn, related to heightened perceptions of the kindness and generosity of people in
general (the “kind-world” syndrome).

Comparing the patterns and histories of social media uses for political mobilization in Arab Spring, particularly in
Egypt and in Tunisia, this paper shows that while providing a relative free sphere for political communications and
consolidation, social media alone is not sufficient to successfully generate popular mass movements in physical space.
Instead, the cases of Egypt and Tunisia show that the linkages of social media with various media--old, traditional, big
and small media--are important in transforming the online activism into actual people power on the streets. Leaders
within movements work with those who have traditional media experience as well as with those who take risks in the
new media environment as part of a larger, if largely uncoordinated, effort to contribute to a social movement.

This study explored whether sensorimotor experiences of cutting down a tree in a virtual forest would be more
effective compared to mentally simulating the same experience in terms of increasing pro-environmental self-efficacy
and behavior in the physical, non-mediated world. Two modalities for embodying the tree-cutting experience were
compared: immersive virtual environment and mental simulation. Results demonstrated that embodied experiences
presented with immersive virtual environments lead to significantly greater pro-environmental self-efficacy and actual
pro-environmental behavior compared to mentally simulating the experience. Presence – the perception that the
mediated environment is real – was explored as an underlying mechanism of embodied experiences, and individual
disposition for presence perception was investigated as a possible moderator.

literature are evaluated, and shared cognition is placed in the context of embodied cognition, an area, which while hot
in psychology and cognitive science, is currently being neglected by the field of communication.

It is the task of this paper to start to bring together more clearly the topics of communication, social change and
education. While these topics and their combination have received attention in a variety of ways, this paper advocates
recovering a sense of education as self-education, as critical praxis, and as a central mode in movements for social
change. More specifically, this paper explores how two contemporary demonstrations – Free Hetherington, a protest
in opposition to University of Glasgow budget cuts, and We the People Media, an organization dedicated to
encouraging inner-city Chicago youth to advocate for community via journalism, practice in some keys ways
education as the production of social agency. In doing so, this paper seeks to enhance the centrality of studies of
movements for progressive social change for inquiry into communication and education.

Our trans-cultural empirical study deals with the question, if social services on the Internet are to be considered as
„third places“, where young people find an unrestricted space for self-expression and reflection aside from formal
environments (e.g. university) and parental control. Therefore group discussions, qualitative interviews (n=25) and an
online survey (n= 757) were conducted in Thailand and Austria. The results predominantly show differences within
practices of use and personal expression in social networks, such as different emotional narrations, social bounds and
diverse meanings of friendship partly deriving from cultural patterns and traditions. Facebook and Hi5 were neither
simply Western style Internet platforms adopted by Thai users, nor transformed into “Thai-style”, but mediated a
weaker concept of relationships in this collectively oriented society.

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This on-going project investigates how technological innovations are designed, developed, and used at the grassroots
through the collaborative creation and sharing knowledge between grassroots innovators, local communities, and the
Honey Bee Network (HBN) - a global network of agriculturists, community workers, students, scholars, policy
makers, entrepreneurs, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in organizing grassroots innovators. The
central research question which this project seeks to respond to is: How are grassroots innovations designed,
developed and used through collaborative knowledge creation and sharing between grassroots innovators, local
communities, the HBN, and its institutional partners? In this study, I seek to employ practice-based perspectives on
knowing and an understanding of communication as being constitutive of organizing to understand the processes and
outcomes of knowledge creation, sharing, and innovation at the grassroots.
Engaging International Publics and Building Online Networks: How International Activists Use Web Sites and Social
Media (Also Featured in Virtual Conference), Aimei Yang, Oklahoma U

Presented at the following event:

6339. Top Student Papers in Public Relations
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper offers a benchmark study of how International Environmental NGOs use Web sites and social media to
reach out to the general public in multiple nations. This study also surveys the hyperlink network structure among 455
International Environmental NGOs’ Web sites. Using data-mining technique and hyperlink network analysis, this
study finds that across nations, NGOs’ Web sites and social media are able to attract a considerable number of visitors
from multiple countries. Further, many NGOs build reciprocal hyperlinks with other NGOs and are embedded in
dense clusters. Implications for how activists can use new media to bypass powerful nation-states and corporations
and to promote social changes are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

6252. Extended Session: Engaging Opinions: Speed Dating for Publication in Environmental Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study examines environmental collective action in rural China which is mediated by ICTs and its political
influences. Based on in-depth interview data, it has found that the level of ICT development does not correlate to the
utilization of ICT for environmental movement on a collective basis, as factors such as awareness of ICT’s role in
organization, documentation and information gathering, level of knowledge about related policies and laws, existence
of leadership and solidarity in the community, literacy would function as barriers to prevent villagers from uniting as a
collective to work towards public goods. This study also finds that successful ICT-mediated environmental movement
in rural China can help improve state-society relations and contribute to liberalization in China, by facilitating
interaction and mutual engagement of rural residents and the local government and thus enhancing villagers’ political
confidence in the government.

This paper will explore the relationship between mobile media and cycling. The focus on cycling affords an embodied
and multi-sensory perspective on the intertwining of modes of transport and media practices. Using media while
cycling engages the user's body more immediately, compared to other modes of transport such as driving or public
transport. Cyclists rely on all their senses when negotiating public space and media, highlighting alternative sensory
modalities (to the dominant visual paradigms) such as auditory interactions. Media cycling can be conceptualised as
an extreme scenario for exploring the relationship between mobility and media that can give valuable insights into
mobile media cultures and practices in general. The paper will analyse two distinct types of assemblages of cycling
and media technologies: First, visual 'dashboard' interfaces on handlebars, such as the increasingly popular
information screens on pedelecs/e-bikes (showing speed, assistance used, carbon saved, weather, etc) and mobile
phone 'apps' such as biketastic (crowd-sourcing route geographies) will be discussed, considering how visual attention
is negotiated between screen and road. Second, this paper analyses GPS sound rides (using ethnographic material of
my own experience). This will open up a discussion around auditory augmentation where 'information' is layered onto
'reality' with sound - this is the sonic counterpart of augmented reality (that is commonly understood as a visual
technology). Analysis across these two examples will show how cycling (as other modes of transport) becomes
increasingly mediatized, while at the same time media technologies are mobilised by the cycling context in distinct
ways. This paper will conclude by pointing out implications for electrically-assisted bikes (also called e-bikes or
pedelecs), a growing mode of sustainable transport that allows for closer media-integration due to the on-board
battery. I argue how fleets of ‘smart e-bikes’ allow us to better understand how networked communities of cyclists
engage with their surroundings and each other trough mobile media.

of Cambridge

Presented at the following event:

6340. Fields of Production: Logics and Practices of the Media Industries
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper is a study of the structure of the cultural field, exploring the degree to which the meanings we as social
beings invest in material objects are influenced by other macro-social processes. Using the contemporary field of
comic books as a case study and conducting a series of content analyses, informed by participant-observation, of forty-
seven graphic novels and manga, I revisit 1) Bourdieu’s research on the field of the cultural production and his claim
that the cultural field is the economic world reversed, and 2) Thompson's counter-argument that this aspect of
Bourdieu’s theory has no enduring relevance in the literary field of today. As I will demonstrate, both claims are
unsatisfactory and obscured by ideology. In light of the importance of masculinity as a structuring symbolic value in
the comic book field which is sometimes—but only sometimes—related to the imperatives of the market, ‘symbolic
capital’ is reconceptualized as ‘masculine capital’.

Presented at the following event:

5136. The Future of Commercial Surveillance in the Digital Era: Theoretical Approaches
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper uses Nigel Thrift’s concept of “microbiopolitics” to examine new market research techniques designed to
measure the affective behaviors of individuals to engineer emotion-based marketing strategies. These techniques are
meant to bring into existence even more infinitesimal levels of embodiment, making visible and knowable spaces and
times previously beyond the threshold of knowledge and power. I discuss three examples: (1) “neuromarketing,” or
the application of neuroscience to examine the brain’s response to commercial messages (2) automated facial
expression analysis to analyze emotional responses to commercial messages, and (3) the repurposing of retail video
surveillance for analyzing shopping behavior. These examples are part of a more broad-based effort to harness human
affect to the purpose of making and remaking people in the mold of the emotional consumer. These market research
techniques are “microbiopolitical” to the extent that they aim to bind embodied affective experience to the emotional
labor of consumption.
Entertainment and Education: How and Why Do Viewers Watch Political Talk Shows on TV?, Peter Vorderer, U of

Presented at the following event:

5221. Political Talk Shows and Entertainment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This paper will discuss the complex interdependencies between entertainment and learning while watching political
talk shows on German TV. We offer a theoretical model including the Elaboration Likelihood Model (Petty &
Cacioppo, 1986) as well as traditional and new theories in the field of entertainment research (Affective Disposition
Theory, see e.g., Zillmann, 2006, and Self Determination Theory, see e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985). The application of
those theories allows to predict viewers’ learning from political talk shows based on their entertainment experience
and intention while watching. We assume that politically interested viewers are more likely to use the central route of
processing information during exposure while less interested viewers should more likely be using the peripheral route.
Furthermore, we believe that the political interest influences which theory of entertainment better describes the
viewers’ experience. We provide exploratory data from a survey and results from an experimental study to support
these assumptions.

5129. Health and Risk Information: Sources and Effects
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

It’s important for PSAs to compete with TV programming and commercials to grab and maintain attention of viewers.
Researchers have found solid evidence for designing anti-drug messages, tailoring both production features and
content elements, to attract targeted audience at higher risk. In particular, individual differences in sensation seeking
and message differences in sensation values have been fruitful in this endeavor. However, with an understanding of
message processing as dynamic interplay between individual audiences and messages, this study aims to treat message
sensation values as a dynamic steam of information complexity and arousing content. Real time attentional and
emotional responses to this dynamic steam during viewing the PSAs are indicated by three psychophysiological
measures. Dynamic models are used to systematically examine and tease apart endogenous and exogenous influences
of information processing to more accurately understand the effects of message variables and individual differences in
sensation seeking on processing anti-drug PSAs.
Equity, Relational Satisfaction, and Maintenance Behaviors in Stressed Marriages, Danielle C. Jackson, Arizona State

7151. Relational Change and Maintenance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Equity, Relational Satisfaction, and Maintenance Behaviors in Stressed Marriages Abstract Stressful circumstances
represent challenges to committed couple’s sense of fairness, relational satisfaction, and maintenance communication
behaviors. This paper examines how equity, maintenance behaviors, and relational satisfaction are associated when
individuals are coping with the stress of undergoing fertility treatment or raising a child with autism. Over 130
individuals experiencing one of the above mentioned stressors were asked to complete an anonymous online survey.
Findings indicate that people in equitable relationships report higher levels of relational satisfaction than do people in
underbenefited but not overbenefited marriages. Self-reported maintenance strategy use varied in non-intuitive but
theoretically relevant ways depending on whether people are in equitable, overbenefited, or underbenefited
relationships. Finally, variations in the self-reported use of maintenance behaviors were strongly predicted by a
combination of equity and satisfaction, which comports with other research showing that people maintain committed
involvements that are fair and satisfying.
Establishing Measurement Invariance in Communication Research: Pitfalls and Opportunities, Rinaldo Kuehne, U of

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The present study aims at raising the awareness for the issue of measurement invariance in communication research. It
sheds light on what measurement invariance is and in what contexts it matters. We show what types of measurement
invariance there are and how one proceeds in testing whether measures in observational studies are invariant or not.
By relying on an example from a political campaign we demonstrate that not considering the invariance of
measurement scales can result in misleading empirical findings and incorrect conclusions.
Esteem Support Messages and the Job Search: An Application of a Cognitive-Emotional Theory of Esteem Support
Messages, Amanda J. Holmstrom, Michigan State U; Jessica Russell, Michigan State U; David D. Clare, Michigan

Presented at the following event:

8242. Social Support and Esteem
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Unemployment and the job search process can be threatening to one’s identity and self-esteem. Research suggests that
the receipt of esteem support may buffer the negative effects of esteem threats on self-esteem. Esteem support is a
form of emotional support that is provided to enhance how someone feels about himself/herself and his or her
attributes, abilities, and accomplishments. The current study assesses the merit of a theory of esteem support messages
(the Cognitive-Emotional Theory of Esteem Support Messages, or CETESM) in the context of job loss. Unemployed,
underemployed, and/or displaced workers (N = 292) rated esteem support messages varying in quality for their
potential effects on state self-esteem and job search intentions. Results indicate that theoretically sophisticated
messages were rated as better than less sophisticated messages, consistent with the CETESM. Results are discussed in
terms of their implications for the theory and for providing esteem support to job seekers.
Ethel and Albert: A Case Study in Forgotten Television History, Lauren Bratslavsky, University of Oregon

Presented at the following event:

7452-3. Communication History Interest Group Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Using a little-known 1950s television sitcom, Ethel and Albert, the paper argues that there is still much to find in
archives about television history. The discursive formation of the 1950s sitcom within academic literature and popular
memory sets up a narrow view that is exemplified by programs such as I Love Lucy and Father Knows Best. This
narrow view includes a dichotomy of how women are represented, either as “zany” like Lucy or the ideal matriarch
like Margaret Anderson. However, looking at Ethel and Albert offers an alternative view and complicates this
dichotomy of representations of women in the 1950s sitcoms. Drawing on archival material and contemporary articles,
an argument is made to insert a “forgotten” program into the historiography.

Presented at the following event:

6153. Representing "Reality": The Complex and Messy World of Documentary Production
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

The documentary genre in film makes distinctive claims to honesty and truth. While filmmakers do not promise
objectivity and balance, and while they all recognize that all expression is crafted and not a simple mirror of reality,
the form is defined by its claim to say something honestly about something that really happened. Filmmakers’ ethical
judgments implicitly or explicitly revolve around this defining feature of the genre. This paper discusses the results
and reception of a study on how documentary filmmakers in the U.S. perceive what common ethical challenges are,
and how these filmmakers commonly address those challenges in the absence of a formally articulated code of ethics
or shared institutional regulations. Producers and viewers differ dramatically on their perception of the core issues.
Producers juggle—often unsuccessfully—three core relationships that they strive to maintain with integrity. Viewers
often expect transparent transmission of truth.
Ethical Considerations of Using Narrative to Communicate Science, Michael Field Dahlstrom, Iowa State U; Shirley

Presented at the following event:

6252. Extended Session: Engaging Opinions: Speed Dating for Publication in Environmental Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

We discuss three ethical considerations science communicators face when considering narrative as a communication
technique for science policy contexts: (1) What is the underlying purpose for using narrative: comprehension or
persuasion? (2) What are the appropriate levels of accuracy to maintain? (3) Should narrative be used at all? These
considerations intersect with perceptions of the appropriate roles of communication and of scientists within
democracy. By providing a clearer articulation of these ethical considerations, we hope narrative can become a more
useful communication technique toward informed science-policy decisions.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This study examines the roles of ethnic identity, acculturative stress, and news media use in explaining Korean
immigrants’ civic engagement. An online survey of 1,135 Korean immigrants revealed that a strong Korean identity
facilitated their engagement in the U.S. Korean community. However, this coethnic civic engagement was not
mirrored by a corresponding civic engagement in their host society. Acculturative stress influenced a particular pattern
of news media use: Immigrant Koreans who feel acculturative stress tended to consume more ethnic news media and
less U.S. news media than those who did not suffer from acculturative stress. This particular media use pattern held
them back from engaging in the civic activities of mainstream U.S. society.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The recent economic downturn has put the private media sector under increasing pressure around the world. As a
result, commercial operators have boosted their lobbying activities to increase their influence on media policy making.
They are increasingly demanding that national authorities reduce regulatory control on private enterprises, while
raising regulatory oversight on public initiatives and cutting new initiatives of the public sector. This paper presents
new evidence of this media policy trend by looking at the recent policy-making of the European Commission in
shaping the online expansion of Public Service Broadcasters that culminated in the renewal of the Communication on
State Aid to Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs). Communication 2009 shows the increasing weight of private
broadcasters and publishers on EU policy making. In particular, where the internet is concerned, the objective of the
Commission is apparent: keeping public funding and PSBs away from potentially profit-making internet initiatives.
The paper eventually raises concerns about the possibility of achieving PSB 2.0 if PSB is gradually banned from the
internet.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

There is increased hype and hope surrounding the advent of low-cost computing devices, specifically targeted at rural
children. This study aimed at evaluating the psychological empowerment of children through a computing in
education intervention. The impact assessment was guided by the cognitive component of the Psychological
Empowerment theory. Using quantitative pre- post- intervention surveys, fieldwork was conducted to carry out a
quasi-experiment among 68 children, test group (n=41) and control group (n=27), from primary schools in the rural
regions of Uttaranchal, India. Participants in the test group interacted with 14 One Laptop per Child (OPLC) laptops
during a five-month period. In order to assess the sustainability of impact, post-tests at short-term and medium-term
periods were conducted. The results of survey questionnaires completed by all children and six teachers were
analyzed. Hypotheses that tested the positive impact of the use of low-cost computers on improving the computer self-
efficacy, and functional and technological literacy of children in rural India were proven significant for children
exposed to the OLPC. Findings also indicated significantly greater increases among children in the test group than that
of the control group for these test variables. The hypotheses that the use of the OLPC laptops will increase teachers’
assessment of the functional literacy and technological literacy of children are also supported. Theoretical and
practical implications to implementations ICT in education are discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This investigation examines how an abstract sexual prime, compared with a romantic prime and a control prime,
biases evaluations of people judged from their online profile from a generic, dating, or job-related social networking
site. If basic activation explains the effects of this abstract prime, then evaluations of all targets should reflect
assimilation of the primed concept. However, if congruence between the primed concept and the evaluation context is
important, then the primed concept should only be influential when the concept is perceived to be relevant to the
evaluation. In addition, research indicates that men are more accepting of sexual content than women are, which
suggests that sex-related primes will serve as a negative valence prime for women and a positive valence prime for
men. Finally, enjoyment of the priming event is expected to influence acceptance of the prime, and thus ability of the
prime to yield an assimilative effect.

Presented at the following event:

7340. Mediated Narratives of Difference and Norms
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper examines the persistence of a discourse that posits an inherent link between Islam and violence despite
assertions by American politicians that the “War on Terror” is not a war against Islam. Analyzing New York Times
readers’ comments on two violent incidents (committed by a Christian and Muslim respectively), not only does this
discourse resurface but points to an important ideological dimension. This discourse posits an ideological figure (the
“devout Muslim”) which effectively orients subsequent discussions on religion rather than politics. This paper argues
that from such a discourse in which devoutness and belief are externalized, demands for Muslims to communicate
their moderateness are untenable. Moreover, the search for the “moderate Muslim” thus reinforces the centrality of
religion rather than politics in discussions concerning on the “War on Terror,” and attempts to naturalize the “devout
Muslim” by shifting the responsibility of constructing this Other onto those associated with it.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

In this essay, I explore the potentialities and tensions surrounding the use of standpoint theories in communication
studies and offer a revised approach to standpoint built upon developments in neo-Marxian thought, the idea of
cultivating standpoint through research, feminist practices of consciousness-raising, and dialogic engagement between
different groups. This revised standpoint theory encourages a holistic approach to social processes, advocates the
notion of multiple epistemologically valid standpoints, makes more explicit the selection (and justification) of the
conceptual entry point of the investigation, could potentially valorize the importance of feminist theorizing in
communication studies by providing theoretical (and methodological) ground for cultivating standpoints and
contributing to a more humane and just world.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This project takes a historical look at the notion of expertise within the field of journalism, arguing that this lens—a
sociological approach widely used in fields such as science and technology studies—can provide a useful framework
for understanding the challenges faced by contemporary news workers. In much the same way that expertise scholars
have examined the impacts of “lay” individuals on established professions, I argue that a framework of expertise can
illuminate the impacts of new journalistic actors on the field of journalism, a field that has long struggled with notions
of professionalism. I conduct a historical analysis of newsroom leaders at some of the United States’ most prominent
news organizations to understand the myriad ways that journalists have conceptualized their own expertise, using the
promotion of certain individuals to top editorial positions as a marker of sentiments surrounding what it means to be a
“journalistic expert.”

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Central to concepts of digital media is the idea that users can get exactly what they want, at least more so than by
other means. This idea has been applied to online political information consumption by examining alignment between
users’ choices and political ideology, but also level of political interest. In addition to the continuum from left to right
there is also one from news ‘junkie’ to news avoider; the latter is the focus of this paper. Using a mixed-method
approach and a new type of data collection software developed for this project, I examine the correspondence between
self-reported political interest and observed Web use during an election campaign. I develop new measures of overall
political content consumption and campaign-related content consumption, and show their different relationships to
reported levels of interest. By combining self-reported and behavioral data this analysis gains new insight into online
political processes.

8120. The Selection of Content in the Contemporary Media Environment
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The uses and gratifications approach is arguably the dominant paradigm, among others, of explaining user media
usages, which focuses on psychological motives of media users (Palmgreen, Wenner & Rosengren, 1985).One
potential matter with applying uses and gratification theory in Internet news environment is that the items used for
measurement are developed from traditional news media gratifications, often leading to repetitive results and missing
out the unique features of the Internet.The fact that uses and gratification research relied heavily on self-reports has
been one of its primary criticisms since the early days. The current study responds the criticism with an empirical
examination of uses and gratifications in real-time observation and quantitative coding insteard of relying on
traditional self-reported data. It utilizes screen video, a format of real-time data, to extract direct and detailed
information about what a user encounters in real-time news browsing, which may overcome the limitations of self-
report measures.Compared with uni-dimensional measurement of usage quantity in traditional uses and gratification
studies; it attempts a comprehensive measurement of user media exposure. Thus, the platform, content and
presentation of Internet news browsing is directly measured and respectively explained with gratification deminsions

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The present study compared and contrasted American and Chinese college students’ responses to advice by examining
the impact of perceived advice content features (response efficacy, feasibility, absence of limitations) and source
characteristics (expertise, trustworthiness, liking) on recipient’s evaluation of advice quality and intention to
implement advice in each cultural group. American (N = 262) and Chinese college students (N = 319) completed
questionnaires reporting on a recent instance of receiving advice with regard to a personal problem. Across both
cultural groups, each of the perceived content and source features was positively associated with participants’
evaluation of advice quality and intention to follow advice, and perceived content features had stronger and more
direct influence on responses to advice than source characteristics did. Perceived content features had a stronger
impact on Americans’ intention to implement advice than they did for Chinese, whereas perceived source
characteristics had a stronger impact on Chinese participants’ intention to implement advice than they did for
Americans.

6141. The Ties that Bind: Networks and Network Analysis in Organizational Communication Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Why do some social movement organizations (SMOs) receive more media attention than others? Why are some SMOs
perceived as more influential than others? This study examines the determinants of media visibility and general
influence among SMOs in the national labor policy domain. Using resource mobilization theory and the influence of
presumed media influence (IPMI), this study investigates the relationships between two SMOs key resource attributes,
namely their political capacity and communication network centrality, their activism, and the achievement of media
visibility and general influence in the labor policy domain. Results suggest that political capacity, communication
network centrality, and media visibility are all positively related to perceptions of general influence among SMOs.
Additionally, SMOs use of symbolic/material damage tactics was positively related to media visibility. Implications of
the results are discussed.

Utilizing the extended parallel process model , an experiment was conducted where women (N = 442) were exposed
to messages containing one of six different threat-to-efficacy ratios and one of two message frames. The effect of
message ratio on HPV inoculation intentions was significant (p = .015); threat only (1 threat statement, no efficacy),
the threat intensive (2 threat statements, 1 efficacy), and efficacy intensive messages (2 efficacy statements, 1 threat)
all outperformed the standard EPPM message (1 threat statement, 1 efficacy). These findings suggest an optimal
threat-to-efficacy ratio underlying threat appeals. Further, messages highlighting the relationship between HPV and

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Gill and Keshavarzian (1999) proposed an alternative hypothesis to secularization theory called the interest-based
perspective in which church-state relations are explained based on the institutional interests, mainly education,
taxation and jurisprudence, rather than purely ideological adherence. The United States was founded on religious
freedom and separation of church and state, but as early Latter-Day Saints discovered, religious freedom does not
include the freedom to have multiple wives. I investigate why some states, specifically Utah, Arizona, and Texas,
chose to prosecute some practicing polygamists and not others. I examine the U.S. Attorney General’s official
opinions and those of the individual state attorneys general. Additionally, national and state newspapers are examined
to understand public support for or against polygamy. Particular attention is given to 1935, 1953, and 2008 when large
raids were conducted on polygamist sects. This study elucidates the states’ interest in prosecuting polygamists and has
implications for future state actions.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study suggested that online news and web comments about the ideal body might strongly influence women’s
body-related attitudes, by having them learn more directly the social reward-punishment towards their body. Based on
these ideas, this study quantitatively explored whether online news text and comments, describing pro- or anti- thin
ideal, would influence individuals’ self-body esteem, appearance evaluation, and their appearance orientation. The
results revealed that 1) the type of online news contents influenced self-body esteem and appearance evaluation, 2) the
type of comments also showed significant impact on self-body esteem and appearance evaluation, implying that
females who were exposed to pro-thin ideal news or comments showed lower body esteem and lower appearance
evaluation than those who saw the anti-thin ideal news or comments. No such effect was found on appearance
orientation. Also, 3) the interaction effect of the news and the comments was found on appearance evaluation,
meaning that the impact of comments was different across the type of news text. The differences in women’s
appearance evaluation associated with comments were higher in anti-thin ideal news text rather than pro-thin ideal
news text. Keywords: thin ideal, online news, web comments, self-body esteem, appearance orientation, appearance
evaluation, body image

6339. Top Student Papers in Public Relations
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The study tested the corporate social responsibility (CSR) logo, focusing on whether the CSR logo is effective in
terms of subjects’ evaluation of the CSR, attitude to the corporation, and supportive behavioral intention. The
subjects’ different levels of involvement were measured and analyzed to see whether they generated interaction
effects with the CSR logo effects. To test the hypotheses of the study, a posttest-only experiment with two conditions
(CSR logo presence vs. absence) was designed and conducted. The current study executed an online experiment by
adopting a national panel company, and finally, a total of 157 subjects across the United States completed the
experiment. The results showed that the main effects of the CSR logo were on all the dependent variables. The results
indicated that the presence of the CSR logo in the annual report was more effective in generating better perceived
CSR evaluation, positive attitude toward the corporation, and behavior intention among the subjects than the absence
of the CSR logo in the annual report. Secondly, interaction effects of involvement levels and the CSR logo were not
found for all dependent variables. However, the several t-tests indicated that the low involvement group was more
affected by the CSR logo presence than the high involvement group in terms of attitude toward the corporation and
behavior intention, while the high involvement group was more affected by the CSR logo in terms of generating
thought responses.

5541. Creating Community, Achieving Mission: Communication in Nontraditional Organizations
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

As governmental sources of funding disappear, the importance of volunteers for non-profit organizations (NPOs) is
increasing. Volunteers help NPOs accomplish their missions without exhausting their operational budgets. One
problem that NPOs are facing is the difficulty in attracting and retaining dedicated volunteers. The argument advanced
in this paper is that this difficulty to retain dedicated volunteers may be an unintended consequence of forcing
students to volunteer as part of a course to earn a grade. Using two frameworks (i.e., theory of planned behavior and
psychological reactance), the current study explored the impact that forcing volunteerism within a classroom setting
has on student’s attitudes toward volunteerism and their future intentions to volunteer. Results indicate that students
are more likely to develop intentions to volunteer if they have positive attitudes towards volunteering and if their self-
efficacy towards volunteering is high. Results also indicate that students who are currently taking a course that
requires them to volunteer are less likely to intend to volunteer in the future. Additional results and implications for
future research are discussed.

The rapid growth SNSs calls for an examination of the communication processes that exist and operate through these
channels, and the motives behind their use. This study examined the effect of attitudes on motives of SNS use and
subsequently SNS activity. Using Uses and Gratifications theory (Katz, Blunder, & Gurevitch, 1974) as the theoretical
framework, the proposed model was tested in the current study. The model hypothesized that attitudes towards SNSs
would influence motives of SNS use and activity on SNSs. Participants (N= 674) completed measures of attitudes,
motives of ONS use, along with measures of SNS behavioral outcomes. Results offered support for the hypothesized
model of SNS attitudes and gratifications. Overall, the study illustrated that SNSs act primarily as channels for social
and relational maintenance.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

A 2008 study of the news articles that were "most emailed" by readers on the New York Times website revealed
stories that were characterized as "awe-inspiring" were those most likely to be shared. The current study examines
empirically whether the motivation to share these stories is driven their propensity to elicit elevation, a moral emotion
elicited by experiencing awe in response to acts of moral beauty associated with motivations to be a better person and
connect with others. Participants in this experiment viewed an awe-inspiring or informational news story; after
viewing their affective state, motivations, and desire to share the story. Results show awe-inspiring news content is
more likely to elicit mixed affect and feelings of meaningfulness, which in turn will lead to greater sharing intentions.
Significant indirect effects of story emotionality on prosocial motivations and sharing via mixed and meaningful affect
were also revealed.

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Video game goals are important features of video games. Player’s interaction with goals can not only shape the
gaming experience by evoking cognitive and affective reactions in players, but also lead to learning outcomes.
However, there are few empirical studies on the effects of interacting with game goals, and no previous research has
manipulated goal setting. In two experimental studies, participants were randomly assigned to one of the following
five conditions: self-set goal repetitive play, assigned goal repetitive play, no-set goal repetitive play, no-set goal
single play, and no play. Results show that playing earthquake preparedness video games generates significant
learning outcomes; playing repeatedly with self-set goals yields greater learning compared to playing once with no-set
goals or not playing; and cognitive reactions mediates the relation between goal interaction and learning. Implications
of the results for the design and evaluation of future video games for learning are explored.

Throughout the last two campaign cycles, Facebook and other social media have been heralded as ushering a new era
of campaign tools for political strategists. Large amounts of monetary donations and positive political effects, such as
increased participation, have been attributed to social media based on very little evidence. This study uses a multi-
method approach to attempt to understand what types of participatory behaviors voters are using social media for, as
well as what types of participatory behaviors campaigns are hoping to elicit by engaging in social media. The results
highlight an important disconnect between voters’ and campaigns’ beliefs and behaviors regarding social media.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Even though the general public has embraced the term game addiction, the scientific world still debates whether
‘game addiction’ can actually be considered an addiction similar to substance addictions as acknowledged in the
DSM-IV. Thus far, research on game addiction has focused on problematic behavior from gaming and has not been
related to pathological personality patterns that usually are associated with substance addictions. Therefore, the
current study examined how excessive gaming and ‘problematic gaming behavior’ are related to personality patterns
associated with addiction by means of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). Results of a
large-scale survey among adolescent boys (N = 1,004) showed that problematic gaming was significantly related to all
three substance abuse subscales of the MMPI-2. Furthermore, results indicated that problematic gaming should be
clearly distinguished from excessive gaming as such. In short, excessive gaming merely indicates enthusiasm for some
while it is psychopathological for others.

Affectivity" in Gay Men, Cynthia K. Patton, Simon Fraser U

Presented at the following event:

7140. Media, Affect, and Publics in Global Contexts
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

My paper proposes that the media representation of gay men's sex as fundamentally “risky” has incrementally
inculcated a "research subject" affectivity in the community. So gay men are willing to enter quite problematic
research trials "on behalf of the whole" which are really, in important ways, quarantining them in their own bodies
and communities. My paper will address this phenomenon in four contexts: a) the gay press recruitment of gay men to
the Hep B trials in the 1970s; b) the expansion of AIDS research after activist pressures (in which gay men are more
like consumers than altruists) through the early 1990s; c) discourses of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy -
HAART, and d; the current pre-exposure prophylaxis trials, in which HIV- men are willingly taking anti-HIV drugs to
see if they prevent infection. I argue that the media (including subcultural media) constitute gay men as an “imagined
affective community” which is also at “high risk” who are duty bound to keep their “disease” among themselves on
behalf of a society, which therefore, must not include them as members.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The job of dissemination of information to the public, especially in the case of events developing in far off places of
the world, falls on the shoulders of news media outlets in that country, which allows room for deliberative democracy.
American television news coverage of Afghanistan from 1978 to 2001 is analyzed in its politico-historical context,
using the concept of “exclusionary framing” as a tool, in order to identify signs of pro-White House bias. With the
rationale that what is NOT reported can be of equal (or more) significance as what IS reported, four key moments in
American reporting are explored. It is concluded that American news media predominantly followed Washington’s
issue framing, which might explain why 9/11 came as such a shock. On the other hand, two instances are identified
where the CNN-effect and Indexing take place, and are seen as signs of a hopeful future for American journalism.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

People derive public opinion from 1) their perceptions of the media content and 2) its presumed influence on others.
Gunther (1998) indicates that exemplars used in the media can play an important role in this process, but fails to
investigate their influence more systematically. The aim of this paper is to clarify whether exemplars can function as a
trigger within a general model of presumed media influence. Gunther (1998) shows that news slant influences
perceptions of the climate of opinion directly and mediated through personal opinion. We can confirm and refine this
model: Our results show that both the direct and indirect effect of media slant depend on focus and style of exemplars
and base-rates in a media message. Thus, the influence of presumed media influence is deemed to be subject to
exemplar effects.

Exemplification in health information is thought to affect selective exposure to these messages. Especially in the new
media context, health messages compete with boundless alternative content that users can choose from. If exemplars
help to attract target groups to health messages, health campaigns could become much more effective by incorporating
specific case portrayals to overcome message avoidance. Our presentation reviews cross-cultural empirical findings
that demonstrate impacts on selective exposure to a variety of health messages portraying exemplars as opposed to
statistical evidence, as well as joint influences with other message or recipient characteristics. Moreover, this review
covers current research that has found subsequent effects on perceptions, attitudes and recommended behaviors
depending on the valence of the outcome portrayed by the exemplar. Based on consistent positive impacts from
successful exemplar portrayals, suggestions for health message design and the importance of exposure preferences
will be discussed.

As exemplification research has demonstrated people tend to form their judgments (especially their perception of
public opinion) rather on the basis of exemplars, than on the basis of the more valid base-rate information. Hence, for
traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers) this so called exemplification effect has been well established. The high
relevance of social media has been widely acknowledged in communication science, yet by now this phenomenon has
not been applied to exemplification research. Considering online environment in general, it is not quite clear what
constitutes an exemplar; it seems plausible that user comments in social media fulfil the function of exemplars.
Firstly, we will discuss possible types of online exemplars. Secondly, we will introduce an online-experiment we
conducted in order to examine whether user comments are perceived as exemplars and whether they influence user
judgements of social problems as well as their personal opinion.

Despite the increasing popularity of offline “meetups” among online community participants, little research has been
done on their impact on the health and function of online communities. Using longitudinal data of both public and
private communications in Galactic Watercooler, an online forum focusing on the interests of science fiction fans, this
study represents one of the first systematic assessments of the impact of meetups on community participation and the
change in bridging and bonding social capital. Results show that meetup attendees would enhance bonding social
capital, but that increase would come at the expense of bridging social capital, reducing the opportunity for new
members to join and find acceptance in the community. The effect of meetup on community participation was mixed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This study examines what young Chinese children aged 3 to 10 years of age say about socialization agents who
encourage particular kinds of future work and careers. As expected from prior research, family functions as the
primary influence, but parents and extended family members operate in a mediated socialization environment where
television shows, the Internet, testing, extracurricular activities, and children’s own observations and understanding of
what they like and dislike shape their aspirations toward particular careers and occupations. Children’s talk displays
the cultural formations and material consequences in which they are embedded, as they allude to parental and
children’s responsibilities at the intersections of changing policies and cultures. This study expands theoretical
understandings of the human and non-human socialization agents (and their intersections) that influence
understandings of work and career, offering practical suggestions for future research and career interventions.

Fan activism, forms of civic engagement and political participation growing out of experiences of fandom, is a
powerful mode of mobilization, particularly for young people. Building on 40 interviews with members of two
organizations representing different configurations of fan activism, this article discusses three emerging elements that
are key to the membership experience in such groups: shared media experiences, a sense of community, and the wish
to help. Through these elements, we suggest that fan activist groups’ strength builds on a successful combination of
experiences common to fandom: shared media experiences and a sense of community, with an element traditionally
ascribed to volunteerism and activism: the wish to help.

In this study, we employed the construct of “brand experience” to investigate how Chinese visitors experienced the
themed space of national pavilions at World Expo Shanghai 2011. We view these national pavilions as a platform for
public diplomacy. We conducted exit surveys at eight pavilions, including Brazil, India, Israel, South Africa, South
Korea, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and the United States, on the structural dimensions of brand experience. Our
findings indicate that, conceptually, visitor experience at these pavilions can be categorized and examined along four
dimensions of sensory, behavioral, affective, and intellectual. Based on the four dimensions, visitors rated UAE and
Spain as providing the strongest nation-brand experience, which also resulted in the highest overall evaluations of
their pavilions. On the other hand, visitors found South Africa and India pavilions as the least compelling, with the
worst pavilion evaluations. We explained these differences by discussing the interplay of nation-brand definition,
nation-brand engagement, and contextual characteristics specific to the Shanghai Expo. This study generated
important conceptual and practical implications for the study and practice of public diplomacy and nation branding.

The present research seeks to pinpoint individuals susceptible to adverse effects of exposure to pornography on
attitudes supporting violence (ASV) against women in a design that enables causal conclusions. Using a representative
sample of young Danish adults 18-30 years of age, the study aims to investigate if a theoretically relevant personality
dimension, specifically Agreeableness, moderates the relationship between exposure to pornography and ASV.
Attitudes supporting violence against women as measured by a composite z-score of the Acceptance of Interpersonal
Violence Scale and the Rape Myth Acceptance scale. Using a randomized experimental design, participants were
exposed to either neutral stimuli (control group) or pornography (experimental group). Past and following exposure
subjects were asked to complete questionnaires related to background, personality, pornography consumption, and
outcome measures. The results showed a significant moderating effect of Agreeableness on the relationship between
pornography and attitudes supporting violence: Participants low in Agreeableness exposed to pornography had
significantly higher attitudes than other groups. The results help explain the diverse findings on the effects of
pornography by demonstrating an “adding fuel on the fire” effect of exposure. They show that it is confluence of
being low in Agreeableness and being exposed to pornography that results in higher attitudes supporting violence.
They also highlight the fact that even in the country most noted for its liberal pornography laws and egalitarian
environment, it is feasible to identify which individuals are likely (as well likely not) to be negatively affected by
pornography exposure.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Until recently, the majority of research into broadband adoption has focused on differences in the demographic
characteristics of residential users, whereas studies focusing on the active involvement of these users have been rather
scarce. This paper shows how the emergence of community broadband networks in the Netherlands has been driven
by a critical mass phenomenon of residential users opting for broadband access, as well as by users’ expectations of
new broadband services. We use the notion of experimental users developed by Malerba et al. (2007) to account for
the behaviour of users to create new markets by experimenting with new products and services. This notion allows us
to analyze more efficiently, differences in the adoption behaviour of traditional or potential users, and more active or
experimental ones. In order to examine the role of experimental users in the adoption of broadband, we used data from
an on-line survey carried out in July 2009 in the Eindhoven area in the Netherlands: 8,606 people were approached by
email for this survey, of whom 2,682 responded (response rate: 31.2 percent). The first step of our study involved the
identification of experimental users on the basis of their digital skills and their relationship to the local community.
We then showed how the choice of these users for broadband access was driven by a demand for a variety of new
advanced broadband services rather than just for the adoption of HDTV. Lastly, we estimated ‘willingness to pay’ for
new broadband services. Our research shows that experimental users opted for high speed access as they expected to
benefit from using new (future) trans-sectoral broadband services in areas such as e-surveillance and local TV. In
addition, we showed that a variety of service characteristics influences residential users’ willingness to pay.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Building on the assumption that journalists’ attitudes toward public institutions can contribute to a decline in public
trust, this article sets out to identify the driving forces behind journalists’ confidence in public institutions. Based on
interviews with 2000 journalists from 20 countries, variation in trust is modeled across the individual level of
journalists, the organizational level of news organizations, and the societal level of countries. Our findings suggest
that the principal determinants of journalists’ trust emanate from the societal level: Journalists tend to trust more in
public institutions if they work in countries with a free media, little corruption and where people generally tend to
trust each other. At the organizational level we found journalists to have more trust when they work in state-owned
news organizations. Journalism culture and power distance, on the other hand, seem to have relatively little weight in
the calculus of journalists’ institutional trust.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The paper analyzes which of the various strategic, structural and individual factors explain the use of online
campaigning in Germany and it compares the influence of these explanatory variables in national, state and local
elections. In addition to these predictors, the paper suggests that the candidates’ perceptions of the effects of the
internet on the voters also explain the extent of online campaigning. Based on candidate surveys of three German
elections in 2009 and 2010 (national, state and local election), the results show that particularly party membership as a
strategic variable explains online campaigning. Media perceptions were explanatory in a few cases at state and local
level. If candidates think of the internet as influential in persuading voters to vote for them they are more likely to use
online media during the election campaign. However, genuine political predictors are still very significant at all
federal levels.

This study examines the relationship between electronic media exposure and adolescents’ body image perceptions.
Specifically, it applies social comparison theory to the study of body image in relation to mediated characters. A
survey was conducted among 447 7th and 8th graders. The study finds that exposure to electronic media negatively
predicts body image perceptions through a mediation process involving the establishment of a parasocial relationship
with adolescents' favorite characters and through engaging in social comparison with these characters. The study
identifies motivations for social comparison and supports previous research in that an actual/ideal body shape
discrepancy is a mediator in the process. The study's findings are discussed in light of theory, past research, and
educational and policy implications.

Current studies investigating natural human-robot interaction in the field concentrate on the analysis of automatically
assessed data (e.g. interaction times). What is missing to date is a more qualitative approach to investigate the natural
and individual behavior of people in human-robot interaction in detail. We investigated how people react towards an
android robot in a natural environment dependent on the behavior displayed by the robot in a quasi-experimental
observational field study. We present data on unscripted interactions between humans and the android robot
“Geminoid HI-1” in a public café and subsequent interviews. Data were analyzed with regard to the participants´
nonverbal behavior (e.g. attention paid to the robot, proximity). We found that participants´ behavior towards the
android robot as well as their interview answers were influenced by the behavior the robot displayed. In addition, we
found huge inter-individual differences in the participants´ behavior. Implications for HRI research are discussed.

The present study looks for a connection between individuals’ diet behavior and the types of news content they
consume. We hypothesize that individuals who consume Celebrity/Entertainment news content are less likely to
engage in healthy diet behaviors. We further hypothesize that individuals who consume Health news content are more
likely to engage in healthy diet behaviors. Using data from the 2006 DDB Lifestyle Study, we conducted a set of
regression analysis to test our hypothesis. Overall, the hypotheses were all supported. Celebrity/Entertainment
content is highly correlated with weight loss dieting behavior; and while the effect size was weak,
Celebrity/Entertainment content is negatively correlated with physical exercise and healthy eating. On the other hand,
Health/Diet content is highly correlated with weight loss dieting, physical exercise, and healthy eating behavior.
These results suggest our findings may help deal with the chronic obesity issue and related interventions focused on
those at risk.

years), the most internet-savvy user group in Singapore, are found to be more knowledgeable and active in accessing
online healthcare information. Hence, this exploratory study focused on young adults in Singapore and addressed
questions: (i) key reasons for using online healthcare information; (ii) levels of trust on online healthcare information
leading to CB; and (iii) social and demographic factors associated with continued usage of online healthcare
information, trust and CB. A theory-based approach was used to study the key factors contributing to CB. Using a 7-
point Likert scale, the survey instrument measured: (1) cyberchondriac and hypochondriac behaviours using the
Whitley Scale developed by Pilowsky; (2) perceptions of content efficacy, or perceived usefulness (PU) of healthcare
information; and (3) perceptions of system efficacy, or perceived ease of use (PEOU) of healthcare websites.
Through the structural use of Non-Parametric Correlation Test, and one-way ANOVA, our findings show that trust
was found to lead to five types of CB. General Linear Model shows that trust in healthcare information with their
continuance to use healthcare websites as a covariate led to seven types of CB. Although this exploratory study was
focused on young adults in Singapore and the region, the study can be extended to include young adults from other
countries. We discuss implications of our findings and propose recommendations for more intensive theory-based
online healthy literacy education so early interventions can be made to ameliorate CB.

Presented at the following event:

6238. Extended Session: Media, Markets, and Democracy
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper discussed the factors that influence the new media policy and regulations. Based on previous literature, this
paper concluded that there are different forces and factors could influence the laws and regulations of new media. In
general, there are four factors that could influence social media policy and regulations: (1) Social culture; (2)
Grassroots tech groups (3) Journalism; (4) User-generated content. The author carefully explained each factor in the
paper and argued how each one of them could possibly influence the new media laws and regulations respectively.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Often times media content can have unintended effects and consequences such as engaging the viewer in defensive
processing where they attempt to damped the emotional impact. This creates a need for research that examines
cognitive and emotional processing of suicide narratives in entertainment programming. The objective of this study is
to identify specific pattens of cognitive and emotion associated affective responses that my represent defensive
processing of entertainment suicide narratives.

7532. Negotiating Parenting in the Age of Ubiquitous Media
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Youth political socialization research has long assumed the bulk of socialization was a top-down process by which
young people ‘learned’ about politics and citizenship from adult authorities, although more recent research has
challenged this idea, arguing that young people play active roles in their own citizenship. In this paper, we expand on
these findings, asking the extent to which young people are active in their own socialization, and also in the political
life of the family. To test this proposition, we employ panel survey data from 2008, exploring the conditions under
which: children adopt parents’ political views, children make themselves independent of those views, parents and
children adopt views in concert, or children convince their parents to adopt views. Results indicate that young people
are indeed active in their own socialization, and a nontrivial amount of the time, they are also active in the political
decision-making of adult family members.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Event-based online communities exist around a time-constraint where users stay connected during a particular phase
of life (e.g., illness, pregnancy, natural disasters). When users leave post-event, the community loses personal and
experiential information and resources, making it less effective over time. Uses and gratifications theory is used to
understand why individuals are drawn to communities, what they obtain through participation, and how they might be
enticed to stay. A case study including 25 in-depth interviews was completed using a successful event-based
community, A Practical Wedding, to showcase the power of empowerment, support, and diversity in maintaining post-
event community.

Presented at the following event:

7621. Media and Race: Exploring Relationships Between Exposure, Belief, and Attitude
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This research effort uses Expectancy Violation Theory (EVT) (Burgoon, 1976) to explore the influence of humorous
mass media messages on viewer perceptions of African-Americans’ political affiliations and behaviors. In this work,
EVT is established as a distinct and appropriate theory suitable for the study of mass political communication
influence. This study investigates the effects of EVT when the source is a member of a minority group (i.e., African-
Americans) who violates an expectation in relation to an assumed political ideology. In order to violate expectancies,
an experimental design offers a single message that is presented by either a conservative African-American comedian
or a conservative white comedian (the control). Perceptions of African-American voting habits, assumptions
concerning the political affiliations of African-Americans, cognitive engagement, source evaluations, and the
perceived humor of the message are examined. Participants in the African-American comedian group are posited to
shift toward seeing African-Americans as more diverse in their voting habits and political identification. This same
group is also expected to find the message more humorous, have more thoughts and counter-arguments relative to the
message, and rate the source of the message more favorably than those in the control condition. Results show that
individuals find expectancy violations humorous, and sources of these messages more credible. Political ideology is
also explored for its main effects on the dependent variables of interest and as a moderator of the stimulus
manipulation.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the level of privacy that social network users can expect while sharing and/or
posting information on these sites. In particular, the aim of this paper is to explore how users’ social network data has
been used in civil court cases with the purpose of elucidating the level of privacy users on social network sites can
expect while functioning on these sites. Results indicate that, according to various civil cases, users of social
networks have few affordances in terms of privacy. This paper also makes legislative suggestions regarding privacy
on social network sites.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The value of digital communication use for granting public relations professionals greater managerial responsibilities
has been well-documented. Perhaps just as well-documented has been public relations scholar concerns about
integrated marketing communication (IMC) and the corresponding potential limitation of public relations as a support
function in a marketing dominant framework. As IMC is a product of digital communication, there is a need to
understand the dichotomy. Either public relations benefits from digital communication use, or IMC renders it a
marketing support function. This case study of a national hospital demonstrates how health communication
practitioners establish strategic relationship management responsibilities in IMC through practitioners’ innovation and
use of social media.
Exploring Transportation, Narrative Persuasion, and Enjoyment: Effects on Global Attitudes and Story-Specific
Beliefs About Organ Donation, Sophie H Janicke, Florida State U; Arthur A. Raney, Florida State U

Presented at the following event:

7520. Engagement With Narrative and Entertainment: Process and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The effect that entertainment narratives can impact people’s real world beliefs and attitudes is known as narrative
persuasion. Variables such as transportation, identification and perceived realism haven been identified to impact
those effects. However, most studies used texts, rather than (serial) broadcast entertainment and disregarded the
enjoyment process along with narrative persuasion. Addressing these shortcomings, the current study builds on a
survey originally conducted by Morgan, Movius & Cody (2009), and investigates narrative persuasion in relation to
enjoyment in an experimental setting, using episodes from the TV shows Grey’s Anatomy and Numb3rs (n = 216).
Our results confirm a consistent effect of story facts about organ donation on viewer’s beliefs and attitudes about that
issue. But more importantly, path analyzes show that identification, rather than transportation is a main predictor for
narrative persuasion in these shows. Theoretical explanations for this outcome are elaborated and implications for
narrative persuasion research discussed.
Exploring Variations of Exaggeration in Advertising: Perceptions and Effects of Hyperbole and Puffery, Lesa A.

Presented at the following event:

5321. Research in Advertising: Perceptions, Content, and Effects
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

In order to catch consumers’ attention, advertisements have become more extreme and visually enticing. All types of
exaggerations abound. This study examines the effects of degree of intensity and type of ad for hyperbole and puffery
on perceptions of ad liking, product quality, product name recognition, buying intention, deceptiveness, and advertiser
intentions for their ads. Five hundred and ninety seven subjects viewed one of the twenty ad conditions in this
experimental design. Results indicated that hyperbole is linked to more liking, better product quality, and greater
buying intention, but is also seen as more deceptive than puffery and non-exaggerated ads. The type of ad also
mattered. Indirect ads, that imply a person can perform much better my using/consuming the product, were liked more
and had greater product name recognition, but were perceived as more deceptive and had lower product quality than
direct ads.

The purpose of this study was to explore an integrated model examining the effects of perceived efficacy, risk
perception, communication quality, and trust on social acceptance of nuclear power in a Korean context. According to
the results of this study, perceived efficacy, communication quality, and trust had positive effects on social acceptance
of nuclear power, while risk perception had a negative effect on social acceptance of nuclear power. In addition,
communication quality mediated the effects of perceived efficacy and risk perception on social acceptance of nuclear
power. Trust indirectly mediated the effects of perceived efficacy, risk perception, and communication quality on
social acceptance of nuclear power.

As Raminez and Broneck (2009) suggest, some technologies facilitate people to form relationships, maintain intimacy,
interact with partners at a distance and even terminate the attachment. According to Licoppe and Smoreda (2005),
relationship maintenance is regarded as a sequence of reciprocal actions, a combination of presence and absence, and
situations that are augmented by various communication resources, like mobile phones. Prior studies have shown how
mobile communication is used more frequently by those in romantic relationships and how greater use of mobile
phones affect relational qualities such as love and commitment positively (Jin & Pena, 2010). Some functions of
mobile phone (e.g. voice call and SMSes) can augment face-to-face interactions, create connectedness and co-
presence, and maintain relationships (Kuwabara, 2002; Weisskirch & Delevi, 2011). With an increase of smartphone
users (IDA, 2011), Singapore has the highest smartphone penetration in South East Asia. Due to advanced
functionalities, smartphone allow users to share photos, use instant messaging (IM), or even have location-based
services (LBS). LBS provides real-time contextualized communication which can enhance social interactions
(Humphreys & Liao, 2011). It may affect romantically involved couples’ interaction. Few studies have examined how
advanced features of smartphones, like IM and LBS, are utilized by attached adults for relational maintenance.
Smartphone’s functions and features may lead to different usage patterns and impacts on romantic relationships.
Based on a recent Nielsen survey (2011), almost half of online consumers in Singapore own a smartphone and
netizens aged between 25-39 years old are the largest user groups. It is interesting to explore how attached
Singaporean adults use smartphones in maintaining their romantic relationships. The study modifies Stafford’s (2010)
scales of Relational Maintenance Behaviour Measure Model (i.e.positivity, understanding, assurances, self-disclosure,
relationship talk, sharing tasks, and involvement with social networks) to develop a survey questionnaire and semi-
structured interview questions. This study conducts in-depth interviews with 90 adults (aged 25-40) in various
relationship stages followed by filling in a survey. It aims to investigate how Singaporean adults use smartphones and
the advanced features offered by them, such as LBS, mobile Internet, IM, photo-sharing etc, to assist them in
maintaining romantic relationships and manage conflicts. This study will contribute to the understanding of
smartphone use and its relations to romantic relationships, as well as improve measurement of relationship
maintenance. Keywords: Smartphone, Location-based service, LBS, mobile communication, romantic relationship,
relational maintenance, mobile phone, conflict management
Exploring the Emotional Cueing of Airport Security Queues: Implications of Passenger Emotional Experience in

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Research on emotion in organization has proliferated in recent years particularly with regard to emotion management
at work. However, the focus of study typically centers on the experience of organizational members. This study seeks
to broaden the understanding of emotion in organizations by making sense of the emotional experience of customers
in a unique context—international airports. Using an iterative inductive approach with ethnographic observation and
interviews, this project explores how airport structures—security queues in particular—serve to cue emotional
responses for passengers and may shape interactions with others. By examining emotional experience in the airport,
the ways that emotion may influence communication and organizational practice are illuminated. Specifically
highlighted are the reflexive nature of emotions, how emotions “travel” through contexts, and the consequences of
emotion management for individuals and organizations.

Presented at the following event:

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Research has generally shown that video games can be effective at teaching and persuading individuals to engage in
certain behaviors (e.g., Baranowski, Buday, Thompson, & Baranowski, 2008; Lee, Peng, & Park, 2009). While
emergent research suggests that exergame features (e.g., avatar) have a significant impact on game play experiences,
this research examined the impact of a game play factor (player performance) on game play experiences and and
users’ future behavioral intentions to use an exergame. Results indicated that player performance was both directly
and indirectly related to feelings of increased intrinsic motivation, presence, and enjoyment. Enjoyment of the
exergaming experience was a strong significant predictor of future behavioral intent to play exergames. The
theoretical and practical significance of these findings are discussed, as well as future research applications involving
exergames.
Exploring the Relationship Between Hormones, Risk-Benefit Assessments, and Disclosure Decisions: An Initial Test
of the Theory of Altered Disclosures, Amanda Denes, U of California - Santa Barbara

Presented at the following event:

5351. Disclosures and Deception
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The theory of altered disclosures argues that there are times when individuals experience altered states that result in
increased perceptions of the benefits of disclosing and decreased perceptions of the risks of disclosing. The present
study tests several of the theory’s predicted pathways in the context of sexual activity. The sample consisted of 230
college aged women. This initial test of the theory found that women who experienced an altered cognitive state
assessed more benefits and fewer risks than those who did not experience an altered cognitive state. The study also
found that risk assessments were related to two of the dimensions of altered disclosures (intentionality and valence),
that trust of the target was associated with risk-benefit assessments, that reciprocity of disclosures was positively
correlated with satisfaction and closeness, and that regret was negatively related to satisfaction and closeness. The
implications and future directions of this theory are discussed.
Exploring the Role of Past Work Experience and Organizational Identification in Neophyte and Veteran Newcomer

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Past work experience and ties to previous roles may function as anticipatory socialization to both facilitate and
constrain individuals’ socialization in new work environments (Louis, 1980). Veteran newcomers (newcomers with
previous work experience) have been virtually ignored, as most newcomers are treated homogenously. Building on
Beyer and Hannah’s (2002) study on past organizational identities and Gailliard, Myers, and Seibold’s (2010)
research on assimilation processes, I am investigating veteran newcomers’ socialization processes. Current literature
also assumes that the organizational identification process is fairly homogenous among newcomers, though veteran
newcomers may have varying levels of willingness and ability to identify with a new organization. This study also
investigates how past organizational identification with previous organizations facilitates or constrains veteran
newcomer socialization.

8129. The Use of Narrative in Health Communication: Empirical Explorations of Mediators, Moderators, and Effects
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

The identification of audiences with narrative characters who deliver health messages has been revealed as an
important predictor of the persuasiveness of these messages (Moyer-Guse', 2008).This finding necessitates a more
serious consideration of how health practitioners can promote identification with characters. One leading hypothesis
(Hoffner& Cantor, 1991) is that characters thatare similar to audience members are more likely to garner stronger
identification than non-similar characters. In this talk we will a) explain this hypothesis, its theoretical logic and
conceptual shortcomings, b) critique existing research that mostly confuses similarity with perceived similarity by
discussing and empirically demonstrating the differences between these concepts and their relationships to
identification and persuasion, and c) present some initial data testing the similarity-identification hypothesis.

Presented at the following event:

6253. Extended Session: Theory and Research in Memory for Media Content: Cultivation and Beyond
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

This study investigated the influence of exposure to televised medical dramas on perceptions of medical miracles.
Four hundred eighty-one college students participated in a survey in which they responded to questions about their
medical drama exposure, beliefs regarding medical miracles, and experience with medical miracles. Results found that
heavy and light viewers of medical dramas perceived medical miracles to occur less frequently than non-viewers.
Similarly, heavy and light viewers perceived belief in medical miracles to be less normal than non-viewers. Personal
experience with medical miracles was positively related to perceived frequency of and belief in medical miracles. The
study concludes that exposure to medical dramas has the potential for creating a more realistic view of medical
miracles. Future research should continue to study genre-specific cultivation effects with regard to health perceptions.

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Answering to the growing demand from society (Dawkins, 2004), organizations are increasingly communicating about
their social initiatives. Especially in the domain of corporate image advertising, corporate social responsibility (CSR)
is a topic that is gaining in popularity. However CSR issues are widely addressed in corporate image advertising, this
form of explicit reporting also bears the risk of engendering negative consumer responses, such as skepticism and
cynicism and trigger perceptions of corporate green washing. The studies that are presented in this extended abstract
focus on how CSR can be used in corporate image advertising, aiming at generating favorable consumer attitudes and
preventing skepticism.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper offers an analysis of Edwin C. Baker’s eloquent criticism of the notional marketplace of ideas. Its goal is
to explicate the writer’s own work that has addressed the research question, “What should be the contours of a
freedom of expression theory to help adjudicate libels committed in simultaneously trans-national media that involve
multiple personal jurisdictions?” The paper situates Baker in the information society, and in that context illuminates
his contrasts with the disparate and mutually irreconcilable philosophical traditions of freedom of expression theory. It
reformulates, refines and hones a theoretical framework to define the limits on expression in the information society,
in order to make libel law reliable or predictable for online journalists without regulating the Internet.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Our study examined the proposition that conceptions of marriage and marital roles differ culturally, but that there are
also cross-cultural similarities associated with communication expectations with marriage partners. Extending
previous mate preference research, 302 young adults from the US, China, South Korea, Japan, and India responded to
a series of open-ended questions about marriage and marital roles. Analytic induction methods were used to create
categories across six topics (good wife/bad wife, good husband/bad husband, good marriage/bad marriage). US adults
expected that a wife be loving and not untrustworthy, a husband not be selfish, unfaithful or hurtful; a good marriage
characterized by giving and a bad marriage by untrustworthiness and poor communication. In Asian cultures young
adults expected that a good husband and wife would provide for the family, a bad husband was considered
irresponsible, and good marriages marked by mutual respect. As expected, Asian groups were more likely to desire a
family focus across marital roles and marriage conceptions than US young adults. Also as hypothesized, basic
communication characteristics were more important than attractiveness/ability characteristics between men and
women and across cultures.

Presented at the following event:

8230. Advertising and Commercial Speech: Issues of Law and Regulation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Public broadcasters in the United States are prohibited from airing advertising announcements on behalf of
commercial entities in exchange for remuneration. Rather, noncommercial educational (NCE) stations are required to
declare the donations they receive from for-profit organizations in the form of underwriting. However, there are strict
government restrictions on the language that may be used in underwriting announcements. For example, these
messages are prohibited from using comparative or qualitative language. These regulations are imposed solely on
public broadcasters. This paper will examine the history of public radio, how it is regulated and the reasons for the
restrictions, and court cases that have dealt with these issues. As this work will demonstrate, there are some serious
questions about the constitutionality of these unique restrictions on NCE stations.

Presented at the following event:

7452-5. Communication and Technology Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Facebook is often invoked in popular discourse as a device for the potential exploitation of individual privacy.
Facebook users invite surveillance, and personal information revealed by Facebook users is compiled into aggregated
databases of linked information, preferences, and behaviors. In the interest of the ideals of individual empowerment,
cultural integrity, social responsibility and equality, social networking communities are forming to interrogate
networked surveillance. This article examines those communities of resistance in the form of “sousveillance” tactics
that have emerged as a backlash to the surveilled environment. Sousveillance is “watching from below,” a form of
inverse surveillance in which people monitor the surveillors. Sousveillance is used in Facebook itself to expose the
data gathered by Facebook to the larger networked population. The surveillance sector’s responses to citizen
resistance may alter the power dynamic between the watchers and the watched. Implications for this power dynamic
are discussed through an exploration of Facebook sousveillance communities of resistance and how they are sustained
in an effort to contribute to the larger examination of hegemonic practices in the global information society.

Many studies document how individuals use Facebook to meet partners or develop and maintain relationships. Less is
known about information seeking behaviors during the stages of relationship termination. Relational dissolution is a
socially-embedded activity, and affordances of social network sites offer many advantages in reducing uncertainty
following a breakup. A survey collected responses from N = 110 individuals who use Facebook to gather information
about their romantic ex-partners. Results address questions such what type of information seeking foci do individuals
employ and how do individuals use Facebook as a form of surveillance? What conditions facilitate or inhibit
surveillance of an ex-partner?

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

With the rise of social networking there has also come the parallel growth of social gaming. Facebook and FarmVille
provide a substantive case study that delves into the topical blurring of lines around game space, community, and
communicative practices as social games augment and provide a space for social interaction. Despite being
categorized as mind numbing inculcation of repetitive behavior, Farmville players derive a great deal of pleasure from
the activities associated with farming but also with the pattern of sociality that is architecturally driven into the game
space. The architectural design that intertwines Facebook and Farmville is heightened by the formal and informal
participation in ritual practices. This paper seeks to identify an underlying ritual structure in social gaming in order to
better understand how these ritualistic practices sustain levels of engagement and social solidarity. These digital
rituals are interrogated to understand possibilities for community in a networked culture.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Although it has been long a consensus about the importance of intercoder reliability test to the validity of a content
analysis study, the choice among them has been debating. This study aims to find the most robust index against
prevalence and rater bias, by empirically testing their relationships with the response surface methodology through a
Monte Carlo experiment. It was found that Maxwell’s R.E and Ir of Perreault and Leigh are overall superior to
Krippendorff’s α, Scott’s π, Cohen’s κ and Gwet’s AC1, and that R.E is slightly better than Ir. More nuanced
relationships among prevalence, sensitivity, specificity and intercoder reliability indices were discovered through
response surface plots. Both theoretical and practical implications were also discussed in the end. Keywords:

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study interviewed 1,878 Singaporean women about their mobile phone usage, health information-seeking
behavior, and perceptions of using mobile phones to seek health information. The survey results showed that mobile
phone ownership rates were high across age groups. However, age differences in the use of advanced mobile
applications were also found. Demographics had small effects on women’s search for information from health
professionals, family or friends, and the Internet. When thinking of mobile information-seeking innovation, women of
different ages made significantly different assessments of self-efficacy; outcome expectations; anxiety; attitude;
perceived behavioral control; and intention. Self-efficacy and nonphysical outcome expectations were the most salient
factors accounting for women’s willingness to be mobile health seekers. Contrarily, anxiety had limited contribution
to the regression equation. The effect of age on intention was fully mediated by socio-psychological factors. Data
reported in this study provided useful insights into future development of mobile health technology.

study also examines the relation between social influence factors (e.g., affiliation, self-image, and perceived
popularity) and smartphone adoption under the assumption that young college adults than old adults tend to be more
sensitive to social factors. A web-based online survey conducted with college students and 354 valid samples were
obtained. Among the sample, current adopters were made up of 57.6% (n = 204), potential adopters of 17% (n = 70),
and non-adopters of the remaining 20% (n = 80). This distribution indicates that the adoption of Smartphone among
college students is approaching to the stage of the late majority beyond the early majority. ANOVA tests revealed
significant differences were found for all factors across adopter types. However, multinomial logistic regression tests
revealed that value-based attributes and social influence factors appeared to play a crucial role in identifying adopter
types. To the contrary, it appears that TAM components (e.g., perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) did not
impact on smartphone adoption.
Factors Influencing Interactive Coping: Stressfulness, Communication Competence, and Tendency to Disclose About
Stressors, Tara G. McManus, U of Nevada - Las Vegas

Presented at the following event:

5351. Disclosures and Deception
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

When managing stressors, an individual may cope alone with involvement from others. Taking a relational approach
to coping, the Model of Communal Coping (MCC) identifies four primary approaches for coping; however, it does
little to specify the coping process. Starting from a similar set of assumptions but focusing on individual coping, the
Cognitive Theory of Stress and Coping (CTSC) maintains that cognitive appraising and antecedent conditions
influence the coping efforts used. To improve the theoretical understanding of the coping process, this paper argues
that the CTSC can be integrated into the MCC in meaningful ways. Three possible factors derived from the CTSC are
tested as potential predictors of interactive coping. Results from an online survey indicated that perceived
stressfulness, communication competence, and tendency to disclose about stressors were related to relational
satisfaction and communication satisfaction. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for the MCC.
Factors That Influence the Inclusion of Values in Political Speeches, Moniza Waheed, U of Amsterdam

Presented at the following event:

6134. Political Speeches and Rhetoric
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This paper investigates what factors contribute to the inclusion of values in political speeches. Semi structured
interviews were conducted on 13 current and former, full time and part time speechwriters at the United Nations Head
Quarters in New York. Applying Schwartz’s concept of Basic Human Values, this study partially supports the
expectation that the types of values included depended on whether the audiences were from developed or developing
countries. However, the tone of the values was found to differ when the speechwriters wrote for audiences from
developed countries compared to developing countries. Beyond these, the socio-demographics of the audiences (e.g.,
expertise, sex, culture, etc.), the United Nations’ policies, as well as issues of priority to the United Nations for a
particular year contributed to the inclusion of values. Finally, our results suggest that there is a possibility for the
speechwriters’ personal values to be included in the political speeches.
Factual Mediation, Individual Differences, and Thin-Ideal Exposure’s Effect on Adolescent Girls’ Self-Esteem, Eric E

Presented at the following event:

6532. Media Literacy (High Density Session)
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This study compared the effectiveness of different forms of negatively-valenced factual mediation messages at
reducing the effect of thin-ideal exposure from the reality show The Bachelor on adolescent girls’ self-esteem. We
found that the self-esteem of girls who reported having more televisions in their home, who had mothers with high
levels of self-objectification, and who reported high levels of recent weight-management behaviors tended to be
protected most when girls received a message with strictly factual or evaluative components, while the self-esteem of
girls with low levels of the moderating variables tended to experience boomerang effects when they received the same
message. These findings suggest that individual differences among adolescent girls play a part in determining the
effectiveness of various forms of factual mediation messages.

Presented at the following event:

8233. Citizenship and Exile
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This intervention discusses the result of interviews with 34 informants located in Mexico and the US who said their
telephone conversations with relatives across the border frequently focused on the on-going wave of drug-related
violence in Mexico. Further to their anecdotal value, the interviews revealed that transnational families might be
changing practices of cross-border exchange such as remittance-sending, to and fro travel and the disclosure of
information regarding their inner transnational circuits. The evidence in question helps to sustain the argument that
the messages of transnational networks, rather than the media they use, move forward the debate about transnational
communities from ideas of “belonging” to a focus on “transnational fields of action”.
Family in Migration Debates: Polarised Discourses in Finnish Media and Parliament, Karina Horsti, New York
University; Saara Pellander, U of Helsinki

Presented at the following event:

7233. Imagining Community
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper examines the social category of family as a scene where fundamental definitions of cultural values and
social norms are articulated by analyzing parliamentary debates and newspaper editorials on family and immigration
in Finland in 1999-2010. Throughout the years family migration was depicted as ‘bogus’ migration and the migrant
family was framed as a threat. In 2009 we observed a short lived case specific framing of Finnish society as a
problem. Public framings construct discursive borders of appreciated social life and unwelcomed ‘unsocial’ life. The
category of a migrant family is positioned as a mirror, an ‘ethnic reflection’ in which Finnish society and culture are
(re)valued and (re)confirmed. Finally, representations in the media and in parliament are not only reactions to each
other, but are always embedded in and intertwined with other societal developments such as the rise of right-wing
populism in the Finnish politics.

Presented at the following event:

7240. Activism, Mobilization, and Social Movements and/Through Popular Culture
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This article places fan activism at the intersection between cultural and political participation and discusses some key
debates that emerge: specifically, the relationships between cultural and political participation; the tension between
participation and resistance in the context of fan activism; affect and the role of content worlds in civic and political
mobilization; and questions of evaluation of the impacts of such mobilizations. Drawing on work across several
disciplines including media studies and social movement literature, the authors argue that the study of fan activism
can facilitate a broadened yet more nuanced, and inclusive but critical understanding of contemporary cultural-
political action. In doing so the authors emphasize the relevance of existing scholarship on contemporary social
movements for analysis of fan activism, while urging social movement scholars to explore the fertile but under-studied
terrain of fan and fan-like forms of civic and political participation.
Fast Transfer of Complex Knowledge in Global Firms: Learning Principles From Templates, Casey B Spruill,
Northwestern U; Paul Leonardi, Northwestern U

Presented at the following event:

5122. Knowledge and Expertise: Communication in the Management and Performance of Knowledge
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Knowledge transfer is important for a firm’s competitive advantage, yet the process is difficult and is further
complicated for firms with a globally distributed workforce that must coordinate knowledge across geographic
boundaries. Previous literature has suggested that using templates, which are working examples of a current routine,
are useful tools for sharing knowledge and replication. In addition to templates, principles are also used to explain the
underlying mechanisms of the components comprising the routine. While both templates and principles are
understood to aid the knowledge transfer process, they are currently understood to be orthogonal processes for sharing
knowledge and replication. Instead, using qualitative and quantitative data from an international automobile
corporation, we posit that templates and principles are complementary in the context of product development. We also
highlight the significance of organizational structures that allow for open communication to supplement the use of
templates among product development teams.

7133. Race in Popular Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

As part of a larger project retheorizing Norman Lear’s black sitcoms as experiments in governance working to manage
racial and demographic tensions in the period that marked the eclipsing of the Civil Rights Era and Johnson’s Great
Society by the ascendancy of Reaganite neoliberalism, this paper specifically addresses the shows’ focus on black
masculinity. Deliberately contra the sorts of cultural stereotypes infamously reinforced by the Moynihan Report, all
three of Lear’s black sitcoms – Sanford and Son (1972-1977), Good Times (1974-1979) perhaps most famously, and
The Jeffersons (1975-1985) – centered black father/son relationships. In this paper, I look at the work these
relationships do to manage anxieties about black masculinity and a cultural situation Hortense Spillers has famously
referred to as “father-lacking,” offering three main roles for fathers (providers, moral guardians, and historians)
alongside other non-normative masculinities, providing an array of roles and suggestions for proper self-governance.

Presented at the following event:

7220. Issue Careers and the Agenda Setting Process
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The agenda-setting approach traditionally deals with news coverage. However, there is also evidence that fictional
entertainment can have an impact on the public’s agenda. Our paper builds on those findings and focuses on a specific
part of agenda-setting: the role of fictional entertainment in the process of intermedia agenda-setting. Using the
feature film The Day After Tomorrow as an example, a time-series analysis was conducted to determine the impact of
the film on news media coverage in Germany. Findings show that the film not only had a short-term effect on German
news coverage on climate change but also a (weak) long-term effect. The effects remain when controlling for real-life
events and the news flow. On the whole our results prove that political communication research needs to further
consider and examine the political impact of fictional entertainment.

Presented at the following event:

7452-18. Journalism Studies Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The academization of journalism is dependent on faculty in the field embracing critical research evidenced by
publishing in relevant peer reviewed journals. This involves a four-step process, beginning with recognizing that
critical research is central to determining the field, which presents a specific challenge to the majority of journalism
faculty who transfer to the academy from practice. Journalism faculty who were or had been practicing journalists
were asked how they valued critical research. Their responses indicated that, while generally viewing critical research
as purposeful, they held it to be weakly integral to their roles in the academy. It is suggested that this reflects their
prior experiences as journalists in a particular moment in time; uncertainty about what constitutes ‘research’, and a
failure to translate external impetuses to build research into an internal research culture, caused by their shifting and
uncertain roles in motley crews of creative and academic production.

Presented at the following event:

6535. Democracy Online
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Media is born to be closely related to structure of power. In China, the party-state power relation determines the tight
control of the mainstream media and its “mouthpiece” characteristic. Internet-based alternative media is supposed to
be a useful way through which the Chinese citizens voice their support of democracy and express dissatisfaction of
Party-state. This study concentrated on the strategies that CoChina, one of the most influential alternative
organizations, adopt to make influence without touching the complex monitoring system. Special attention was given
to how and to what extent that Internet benefits such media. In the end, potential capabilities and limitations of the
internet-based alternative media was discussed in the final part of the research. Key words: Internet / New
Technology; Participation; Public Opinion; Governments / States; Qualitative - Ethnography
Figuring out the Organization in the Light of Change: The NFB and its Rhetoric of Funding, Pascal Gagne, University
of Colorado

Presented at the following event:

7452-21. Organizational Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

I propose to see organizational identity as the communicational process of “figuring out” the organization in the light
of change. In contrast to essentialist models of organizational identity, transcendental conceptualizations of discourse,
and instrumental views of language, I theorize communication as constitutive of organizations. By invoking the
organization as an actor in organizational narratives, members strategically attribute agency and cultural value to the
organization, therefore enhancing its competency and legitimizing its history. Different accounts of organizational
reality by managers and employees have in common one thing: a commonly shared quest for increasing the NFB’s
funding. To support those claims, I present a case study about the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) to
demonstrate how the NFB’s organizational identity, once mobilized in speech to persuade, acts back upon its
spokespersons: in speaking on behalf of the NFB, managers and employees’ personal testimonies lead to identification
and produce feelings of belonging.

6128. Cross-National Comparisons of Political News
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Previous research has characterized European news coverage as mainly domestic in focus, hampering the emergence
of a European public sphere. This study analyses the European nature of the news coverage of the 2009 European
Parliamentary elections. We not only describe the level of Europeanness in news coverage but also propose a
comprehensive model to explain differences across countries. We employ a cross-national media content analysis
(N=52,009) conducted in all 27 EU member states. Findings show that especially public TV channels and broadsheet
newspapers are more European in coverage than their private and tabloid counterparts. Newspapers are also more
European in focus in general compared to television. Furthermore, coverage is more European in countries with higher
public EU support, the coverage gets more European during the campaign and is more European in countries that are
geographically closer to Brussels, and in which no other elections take place at the same time.

This study investigates the influence of social identity and physical attractiveness on romantic attraction in online
dating. Participants (N= 101) were asked to view an opposite sex online dating profile and report their romantic
attraction. Profiles varied in the university membership of the person they featured (ingroup university or outgroup
university) as well as the attractiveness of the person in the accompanying photograph (homely or comely). Results
showed that participants with a stronger level of group identification reported less romantic attraction to the person in
the profile, but only when it was an ingroup profile. This finding is discussed with respect to social and romantic
attraction online.

6355. Social Navigation: A New Paradigm for Explaining Audience Selectivity?
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Visiting any search tool or online news platform nowadays means leaving information with every visit, every click
and every minute spent – just as footprints in the snow. Combined with several algorithms, this data is aggregated, and
in turn these rankings serve as an instrument for user orientation. Moreover, users often recommend online content
actively to their peers by sending links or postings in social media. Our study provides a possible theoretical
framework for this process called “Social Navigation”, based on the theory of gatekeeping, the dynamic-transactional
approach, the concept of newsworthiness and opinion leadership as well as diffusion research. Results from our
empirical multi-method design indicate explanations for differences in news item rankings and give insight into the
relevance and effects of Social Navigation among online users. With a social web environment emphasizing the
practice of recommendation and linking of content, we conclude that separating the relevant from the irrelevant based
on other peoples’ choices can well advance to a major media use pattern.

6542. Top Four Papers in Instructional and Developmental Communication
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

To overcome the digital divide in West Virginia, one of the poorest and most rural states in America, school are urged
to integrate emerging ICTs and constructivist pedagogies to develop students’ 21st century skills. Yet, the potential
effects of divide on technology integration have not necessarily been part of planning for professional developments.
Such “one size fits all” approach ignores teachers’ unique needs particular to their school context. Thus, this study
examined West Virginian teachers’ ICT access levels as a first step to identify digital divides widening between rural
and urban school settings. Analysis of the survey responses from 161 teachers suggested that the divide seems to
persist at motivational, physical, and usage access levels, signifying teachers’ unique needs and conditions for the use
of emerging ICTs. Also, the usage access level was constantly observed to be a significant factor for teachers’
technology-enhanced PBL practices.

5138. Is “Positive Organizational Scholarship” A Positive Move for Organizational Communication? Forging Toward
a Critical Embrace
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

In the last 20 years, communication scholars have explored the role of emotion in organizing, focusing heavily on
emotion management and labor, and the role and repercussions of negative emotions for organizational members. Less
attention, however, has focused on how emotions transfer between people, affect bystanders, or chain out into future
interactions—in both negative and positive ways. This paper builds upon Hareli and Rafaeli’s (2008) work regarding
“emotion cycles,” Fredrickson’s (1998) “positive emotion spirals,” and emotional contagion theory to propose two
models of communication that address the complexity and social nature of emotional experience. These models
illustrate the relative proximity, reach, impact, temporality, and transferability of emotions using elemental metaphors
of fire and water. The models demonstrate the nature of “hot” and “cold” emotions, suggesting specifically how
emotions of positive valence may be useful to interrupt negative cycles such as workplace bullying.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Flow theory offers an individualistic explanation of media enjoyment, while cooperative learning theory posits a
social explanation for enhanced learning in groups. While both theories have influenced the study of educational
media, especially digital games, it is not clear whether the two theories can be reconciled. This classroom-based
experimental study examines whether both conditions can be experienced by players and the influence of each
condition on several types of civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions. We find that cooperative learning and flow are
compatible and complementary states that support different kinds of civic learning. This study replicates the results of
much of the research on cooperative learning and civic education in traditional classrooms, and extends these findings
to game-based learning, by finding that high quality cooperative learning contributes to acquiring civic knowledge and
skills. Yet we found that flow was more influential than cooperative learning for developing empathy and interest in
learning more about the game topics and activities. We conclude by suggesting a need for a hybrid concept of social
flow as a means to understand enjoyment derived from group learning with games and social media. We suggest that
social flow is important for developing ICT-enabled learning communities.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Adopting mainly Miller’s framework of the New International Division of Cultural Labor in the examination of the
political economy behind a Canadian-China coproduction Iron Road, this paper attempts to find out the production
networks that constitute global productions. In addition to the traditional political economy analysis of funding,
distribution and textual manipulation, this research also adopts the method of production ethnography to investigate
how peripheral agents can connect themselves to global networks. Rather than reiterating a rigid central-peripheral
model, the struggling stories of the dominated agents—both Canada and China as film exporters and Hengdian World
Studios as service provider—reveal that players can always tap into their local specificities to play around in the
global arena and to advance their positions. Instead of a single logic of capital accumulation, the case shows
globalization is dynamic process shaping both by the power of flows and the flow of power.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

In theory, the family plans provided by mobile phone companies in the United States promote a progressive image of
the American family. Any group of one or more persons willing to enter into a financial agreement can sign up for a
family plan. It remains unclear, however, if the broadened definition of family reflects a purposeful act on the part of
mobile phone companies to reflect changing notions of “the family.” This paper uses interviews with corporate
representatives and ethnographic observations of retail sites to understand how mobile phone companies think about
and depict the American family. Additional, this paper explores some of the methodological issues associated with
“studying up” in the twenty-first century.

This paper explores the political and economic realities of the video game industry in light of the defeat of regulations
aimed to protect children from violent video games, including the 2011 Supreme Court decision in Brown v.
Entertainment Merchants Association, et al. that overturned a California law regulating the sale of violent video
games to minors. One of the key players fighting legislation across the United States is the video game industry’s
influential trade association, Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The paper analyzes campaign finance
records, federal and state lobbying reports, court documents, and media reports related to ESA and finds that ESA
uses its political economic power to flex its muscle in all parts of the legal and legislative process.

This article examines five high-profile mergers in the post-1996 Telecommunications Act era: Bell Atlantic-NYNEX
(1997), Viacom-CBS (2000), AOL-Time Warner (2001), Sirius-XM (2008), and Comcast-NBCU (2011). The 1996
Telecommunications Act gave the FCC a clear mandate to assess media mergers by a public interest standard that is
pro-competitive and pro-future. A review of the merger documents, however, shows that the FCC has not applied its
public interest mandate in a clear, consistent manner. The article traces the evolution of the public interest standard
across these five mergers and urges a stricter application of the public interest standard as pro-competitive and pro-
future.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper details findings from an ethnographic field study of Neighborhood United (NU), a South Los Angeles-
based urban agriculture and food justice organization. Guided by theories related to Foucault's writings on biopolitics,
the work situates NU within the domain of what have been termed environmental justice embodied health movements.
The paper describes the manner in which NU promotes long-term community sustainability by bolstering local
knowledge related to food and nutrition-based injustice – this knowledge, they argue, is located within the bodily
experiences of community residents themselves. Still, while NU generally sees its work as standing in contrast to
traditional actors from science and government, the logic of the organization actually depends on certain aspects of the
very system it critiques. This state of affairs is indicative of the hybrid coalitions that develop between activists,
scientists, and policymakers who are engaged in embodied health movements within the broader biopolitical frame.

Idea generation is commonly a team effort, and research points to the role played by collaboration and spatial
negotiation as key factors in creativity and innovation. This study foregrounds the emergent aspects of creativity
during engineering design by focusing on the communicative aspects underlying ideation during engineering design.
We study idea generation within teams as a discursive process of collaborative interaction between members and their
external environment, which involves their team cohorts as well as non-human resources like space and material
artifacts. We extend the notion of interaction to the spatial environment within which groups generate ideas and
explore the manner in which groups utilize the space and available resources during idea generation. In doing so we
advance the notion of how play can be both an ideation tool, but also an organizing principle that provides a
framework for collaborative creativity.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The present study explored the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western newspapers in their visual
representation and framing of the Sichuan and Yushu earthquakes that struck western China in recent years. Based on
a content analysis of 1010 photographs from the People’s Daily, the China Youth Daily, the New York Times and the
Guardian, the study observed similarities in the intensity and frame transformation among the four newspapers, as
well as differences in presenting survival, death, ideological symbols, and pragmatic scenes between the Chinese and
Western newspapers. We suggested that the divergences in ideology, media system, and cultural values attribute to the
distinct pattern in visual presentation and framing of the Chinese earthquakes between the newspapers.

5521. Theory Development in News Frame Exposure Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

A growing number of scholars examine the duration of framing effects. However, duration is likely to differ from
frame to frame, depending on how strong a frame is. This strength is likely to be enhanced by adding emotional
components to a frame. By means of an experimental survey design (n = 111), this paper tests if the presence of
emotional elements within a frame also enhances its longevity. We test framing effects on political attitudes of a
rational and an emotional frame immediately, and after a delay of seven days. Our results show that, immediately after
exposure, the emotional frame does not cause stronger effects than a rational frame. However, the effects of this
emotional frame lasted longer, while rational framing effects dissipated much quicker.

5521. Theory Development in News Frame Exposure Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Previous studies suggest that the way media frame the immigration issue influences public support towards
immigrants and immigration policies. However, this is a very Western perspective on the topic and much less research
has been conducted on the other side of the phenomenon and its consequences, i.e. people emigrating from a country.
The current study employs a multi-methodological research design to examine the way news media frame the
emigration issue in Lithuania and its effects on public opinion. A content analysis of national press coverage showed
that the emigration issue was dominantly portrayed in terms of risk and opportunity. These findings are built into a
subsequent experiment which showed respondents exposed to news framing emphasizing opportunities attached to
emigration being significantly more positive towards individual emigrants and emigration as a process compared to
respondents exposed to news framing emphasizing risks. This effect was particularly pronounced among politically
less sophisticated respondents.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This study examined the coverage of LGBT issues in China, Taiwan, South Africa, and Uganda in traditional news
outlets versus the social media. The objective was to determine how LGBT issues were framed given the countries’
national political and legal stance on this important issue. A cross-national content analysis based on two media
framing constructs—reactionary depiction and partisan alignment— showed that antigay sentiment and other negative
partisan frames were dominant in the traditional news outlets’ coverage of LGBT issues in China and Uganda. There
was both positive and negative coverage in Taiwan, while South Africa’s coverage had positive reactionary and
partisan frames. The social media in all four countries largely attempted to thwart myths that perpetuated stigmas
about homosexuality, although the frames were slightly different in each country. The significance and implications of
these and other findings are discussed.
Framing Immigration: How the French and American Media Shaped Their National Immigration Debates, 1973-2006,

5154. Communication at Borders: Journalistic Practice, News Frames, and Public Policy at U.S. and E.U. Southern
Borders
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This paper compares U.S. and French mainstream national news coverage of immigration from 1973 to 2006 in order
to demonstrate and explain over-time and cross-national patterns in reporting on the issue. In both countries, there
have been similar tendencies to emphasize the humanitarian and public order frames and to downplay conservative
‘restrictionist’ voices. Government and elite political sources have dominated in both countries, but more so in the
United States than in France. U.S. coverage emphasizes unaffiliated individuals; French coverage highlights organized
civil society activism. French coverage is more likely to emphasize global economic context and highlight concerns
about national cultural cohesion. Cross-national similarities and differences in news coverage are linked to the relative
dominance of market or non-market logics in the media and the broader political culture, journalist-source relations,
organization of news beats, and news formats (i.e., a more narrative U.S. approach vs. a multi-genre, thematic French
approach).
Framing News in 140 Characters: How Social Media Editors Frame the News and Interact With Audiences via
Twitter, Ben S. Wasike, U of Texas - Brownsville

Presented at the following event:

6228. Follow Me: Twitter in the News-Making Process
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Social media editor, the newsroom’s liaison to the digital world, is the newest position in journalism. This study used
content analysis to examine how these editors interact with audiences on Twitter; how they frame the news articles
they post on Twitter and if these two points of foci varied according to the media format the SMEs represent – print
vs. TV news. TV SMEs were more personal with their Twitter followers. They also emphasized the technology frame
more while print SMEs emphasized the human interest, conflict and economic impact frames the most. Overall, all
SMEs emphasized technology and human interest stories while downplaying the conflict and economic impact frames.
This particular finding goes against the norm since research shows that mainstream news coverage emphasizes
conflict and economic frames while readers follow disaster, economic and political news the closest. The study also
discusses the implications.

Presented at the following event:

7538. Popular Culture and Media in the Diasporic Landscape
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Miami-Dade County, Fla., has 2.5 million residents, with more than half (52%) born outside of the United States.
Catering to these immigrant populations is a rich landscape of community media outlets focusing on the multiple
Hispanic immigrant communities in this region. Drawing on the confluence of these geographic and socio-cultural
factors, as well as the growing political influence of Hispanic populations, this study presents the results of a content
analysis of election articles (n=368) produced by four Hispanic immigrant media outlets in Miami-Dade over the
course of a year. The results show an emphasis on covering elections in the home country, and contribute to the
growing body of research on the increasingly transnational lives of immigrant populations and provide new insights
into the how these media outlets shape the coverage of elections that impact these communities.

Presented at the following event:

7635. Language and Social Interaction Studies of Identity and Self Presentation
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

In this paper we extend one particularly important aspect of the background circumstances for self-making, namely,
framing. We turn to framing theory, introducing a distinction between two types of frame: interactional frame and
discursive frame. We then employ this distinction to demonstrate how interactional and discursive framings mediate
the making of selves in two vastly different interactions, an Israeli phone-in and an American tutoring session. In our
analysis, we argue that selves are made in and through interactional and discursive framings.
Framing War: Domesticity and the Visuality of Conflict, Isabel Maria Capeloa Gil, U Catolica Portuguesa

Presented at the following event:

7528. Iconic Representation: Media Images that Discipline Social Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Taking war visuality as object, the paper will ask how domesticity works as a cultural frame for images in time of war,
why it is a privileged means of rendering the utterly alien experience of death in battle meaningful and what it does to
the exercise of responsible critical judgement. While the home and the family as discursive practices constrain
meaning production, by allowing some representations to work and disallowing others, they may also be called into
question. Martha Rosler’s photographic work ‘Bringing the War Home’, arguably frames the frame, showing that
ultimately, it can never quite fully determine what it is we see, think, recognize and apprehend. Drawing on Rosler’s
activist photomontage, the paper discusses how the use of counter-domesticity as a radical visual discourse in art
photography treatment of war denaturalizes the visuality of home and nation and presents art as a new outlet for
critical discourse at a time of growing restrictions for news journalism.
Framing White Privilege: Mainstream and Minority News Organization Coverage of the Elimination of Ethnic Studies
From Arizona Schools, Hemant Shah, U of Wisconsin - Madison

Presented at the following event:

5233. Extended Session: Battleground Arizona
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper will investigate the ways in which mainstream and minority news media depicted Arizona’s law outlawing
the teaching of “ethnic studies” in K-12 classrooms through concepts and narratives consistent with the idea of white
privilege. I am interested in the debate over ethnic studies in Arizona schools because it has forced news media and
the public at large to once again confront the implication that the history and culture of white Americans is the norm
under which other histories and cultures ought to be subsumed and understood. Specifically, I will (1) analyze how the
debate is framed by news organizations, (2) determine what the framing reveals about perspectives on white privilege
in America, and (3) consider the extent to which mainstream and minority news organizations convey competing
visions of “America.” Finally I will consider the meaning and significance of the news coverage for white privilege in
“post-racial” America.

6330. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Social, Cultural, and Community-Based Contexts of Health
Communication
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Pandemics challenge conventional assumptions about health promotion, message development, community
engagement, and the role of news media. To understand the influence and power of press releases in news coverage of
pandemics, this study traces the development of framing devices from a government public health agency’s press
releases to news stories about the 2009 H1N1 A Influenza pandemic. The communication management of the H1N1
pandemic, an international news event with local implications, by the Singapore government provides a rich locus for
understanding the dynamics of public relations, health communication, and journalism. A content analysis shows the
evolution of information from press release to news is marked by significant changes in media frames, including the
expansion and diversification in dominant frames and emotion appeals, stronger thematic framing, more sources of
information, conversion of loss frames into gain frames, and amplification of positive tone favoring the public health
agency’s position.

5228. Beyond the Arab Spring: Nostalgia, Ideology, and News Values in Coverage of Non-Western Events
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The Greater China area provides a unique context for studying news framing. Mainland China, Hong Kong, and
Taiwan, with close geographical and cultural proximity but stark contrast in ideological controls, each represents not
free, partly free, and free media system respectively. In reporting the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, news media of these
regions constructed the coverage within their own ideology boundaries, especially given their differing stances
regarding Beijing’s June 4, 1989 Crackdown of student demonstrations, resulting in differing news stories about the
same event. This study compared newspaper coverage of the three regions on the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Framing
analysis was conducted in terms of news selection, sourcing pattern, favorability toward the protestors or the Egyptian
government, and overall news perspective. Results show significant differences in coverage between contrasting
media systems (Mainland China vs Hong Kong & Taiwan). The frames employed in the coverage were interpreted
and discussed in the context of ideological difference and press freedom variation. Reasons for these differences and
theoretical implications were explored.
Free Markets for Free Media? U.S. Policy Measures and the Building of the German Media, Mandy Troger, U of
Illinois

Presented at the following event:

6238. Extended Session: Media, Markets, and Democracy
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

In this historical case study I argue that only a redefined role of the state allows for policy solutions to resolve the
structural problems responsible for the current crisis of U.S. news media. Based on archival research, I show that the
media policies of the U.S. Military Government (OMGUS) in post-WWII Germany went against the idea that a free-
market economy was the only option that could ensure free media and a viable democratic government. OMGUS
regulated and heavily subsidized a licensed press to ensure diversity of opinion. It opposed government control of
broadcast media but yet created a public as opposed to a commercial system. Further, the idea that capital interests
constituted regulating media control was a leading principle in OMGUS’s policies. OMGUS media policies strongly
defined the German democratic discourse, setting a precedent for public policy measures that could be used to
strengthen the current U.S. media and democracy.

7321. Audience-Journalist Relationships in Online News Production and Consumption
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The purpose of this study was to explore how two presentation features of online news—the number of comments and
the number of recommendations associated with news headlines on the front page of newspaper websites—impacts
news selection, perceived credibility, and perceived newsworthiness for frequent online newsreaders. An experiment
was conducted in which the number of comments and recommendations displayed with online news headlines was
manipulated and participants reported the likelihood they would click through to read the story, and their perceived
credibility and newsworthiness of the story. Results revealed significant effect of the interaction between number of
comments and number of recommendations linked to online news headlines on all dependent variables for participants
who reported they frequently read online news. Results are discussed in the context of how the number of comments
and recommendations might serve as a heuristic cue for evaluations of online news headlines and linked stories.

Westgate, Johnson and Wales U

Presented at the following event:

7155. Border Crossings in Media History
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This article tells the stories of the Latin/o and general music industries in the United States from 1898 to 1964. It
argues that performers transformed the local identities of aural industries based in place and melody into global
industries of visual identities designed for space and celebrity. Both the Latin/o and general music industries shifted
back and forth along a local-sound-to-global-sight spectrum more than once, from sounds of music rooted in specific
places to sights of musicians uprooted across universal spaces. While the general music industry’s identity changed,
the Latin/o industry’s identity stayed the same, and vice-versa. This claim is supported by a textual analysis of
archival materials, including trade press articles, audio recordings, still photographs and motion pictures. From Aural
Places to Visual Spaces: the Latin/o and General Music Industries should be of interest to historians invested in the
communicative relations between creativity and commerce, substance and style, or geography and genre.

5555. IAMCR Panel: Critical Approaches to Communication and Community
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Since Innis and McLuhan media technology theories (Innis with the creation of Empires and McLuhan with the
Nation State and the Global Village,) the history of inspiring new life into old ideas or ideals of community life is
interconnected with the appearance of new media technologies. The print media (e.g. community newspaper) then
community radio and community TV were advocated by theorists as well as activists, each in turn as a promise to a
better community life. Research showed the old and new media technologies contributes to strong ties and created
new life in old communities, but all dealt with the sociological definitions of community based on common history, a
sense of belonging and common goals that created common social institutions. Even the beginning of the Internet saw
the same characteristics, but at the same time brought forth first the idea of virtual communities based of forums and
chat rooms and then moved to the trend of social media that basically claims that the medium creates the community.
The paper will ask whether the use of social terms and definitions to describe the phenomenon really helps us
understand the phenomena theoretically and empirically. The theoretical framework for studying and understanding of
the social media role in the Arab spring as well as the middle class protests in the Western hemisphere are relevant
case studies.

Presented at the following event:

6540. Genre as an Analytical Tool in Contemporary Media Environments
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The integration of traditional media and telecommunication has allowed audiovisual media to be marketed and used
on other technical platforms besides conventional cinema and television. Individual films and television programs
must therefore be considered both in the context of a multimedia offering, and in the context of the viewers’ overall
media use. With the advent of reality TV in the beginning of the 21st century genre hybridization was established,
where producers combine elements of different genre conventions to new formats (e.g. docudrama). In multi-platform
media environments hybridity is only one form of converging genres. To reach their global audiences the media
industry is creating global transmedia brands of content, mainly around an original film or an original TV show. This
paper will give some theoretical insights in the development from genre to hybridity and branded content, based on
examples like The Lord of the Rings, Lost, Dexter.
From New Journalism to Comics Journalism, Michael Taylor, Henderson State U

Presented at the following event:

6529. Comics as Journalism? Scholars, Educators, and Practitioners Reflect on the Exploding Field of Graphic
Reportage
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

In the fall of 2010, three professors from different disciplines collaborated on a course, Co\Mix, that fused art,
journalism, and communication. Students in the Co\Mix class created short, nonfiction comics. Art majors were
forced to apply their imaging skills in service to the devices and constraints of journalism, while journalism students
struggled to produce images to illustrate their reporting. From this process, the instructors gained insights into the
nature of comics journalism. One of those instructors, a journalism professor with extensive experience writing long-
form journalism in books and magazines, was struck with the way comics journalism tends to foreground the role of
the journalist. While still grounded in the primary devices of reporting, the form highlights the interpretative nature of
journalism by vividly depicting, with both images and words, personally observed locations and events, information
within documents, and the narratives of interview subjects. Previous critics have likened these aspects of comics
journalism to broadcast reporting (Nyberg), “The New Journalism” (Versacci), and documentary film (Woo). This
panelist argues that the other genre the form may most closely resemble is the long-form journalism popularized by
the New Yorker and other magazines throughout the 20th Century, as exemplified by writers like E.B. White, James
Agee, John Hersey, John McPhee, Susan Orleans and Gary Smith.

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication: CRONK 252

From 2005 to the present day, we have also witnessed a fundamental change in the nature of mobile technologies
themselves, made possible by the deployment of third-generation (3G) and fourth-generation (4G) networks, the
intelligence at the edges of such networks, and in the multimedia capabilities of the mobile technologies themselves.
Since the arrival of the iPhone in mid-2007, and then the iPad in early 2010, the smartphone and tablet computer,
respectively, have attracted the keen interest of users, industry, and content developers alike. In these developments in
mobile technologies, place has played a prominent role. Because these are technologies in which mobility is key, there
has been an everyday concern with their relationship with particular places (occupied by an individual while they use
a device, for instance), and place in general. As mobile technologies have developed, their links with, focus on, and
reliance upon, place, have only deepened. This is most obvious in the wave of geolocation, mapping, and sensor
technologies that underpin applications such as maps for mobiles, and Internet-based geoweb applications migrating
to mobile platforms (most prominently, Google Maps). In research, mobile technologies have been examined
extensively from a variety of perspectives, across many disciplines. In particular, much has been revealed about the
implications for mobile technologies on space and time. Surprisingly, there has been a great deal less research and
thinking on these technologies and the important role of place. Thus, the interactions between mobile technologies and
place are little understood, despite the recent renewal of interest in related questions of geolocation in fields such as
media and communications, cultural studies, and sociology — and despite the rapid expansion and intense interest in
explicit technologies of location in mobile media. In this context, this paper considers, firstly, what place theory has to
tell us about the changing relations between mobile communication and community, and, secondly, especially in
relation to questions of location (understood here as nodes within networks of places) as locative media are becoming
increasingly prominent in media systems and user cultures. In the first part of the paper, we open with a discussion of
the concept of place, and how it has been debated over time by a wide range of theorists and critics from the fields of
humanist geography (Yi-Fu Tuan, Edward Relph, Nigel Thrift, Doreen Massey, Tim Cresswell), architecture and
phenomenology (David Seamon), philosophy (Edward Casey, Jeff Malpas), sociology (Manuel Castells),
anthropology (Marc Augé), and critical theory (Michel de Certeau), and media and communications (Joshua
Meyrowitz). Following this, we consider the particular challenges that are posed to established understandings of
place by various forms of (macro and micro scale) mobilities and global networked information and communications
technologies—in other words, the dual shaping influence of what Thomas Misa evocatively terms “the compelling
tangle of modernity and technology”. In the second part of the paper we move from theories of place to a
consideration of what these can lend to a more specific engagement with questions of location, where we consider the
impacts of locative media technologies, cultures, and practices. Here two cases will be explored: on the one hand, the
cultural economic dimensions of Foursquare will be considered, and, on the other, the Australian-designed geomobile
application and art project, CityTraces. The paper concludes by returning to consider what is at stake in this concept
of place in this present phase of development of mobile communication. For instance, what does it mean that we, as
users of geomobile media are implicated in a double logic of what Greg Elmer terms that of finding and being found?
To what extent are locative media, in Minna Tarkka’s words, “symptomatic of a wide-reaching reconfiguration of
social space and of a new sensibility towards the urban media space”? And, what does this mean for questions of
place and power? Is Doreen Massey correct in suggesting that the geometries of communication and mobility
reproduce existing power asymmetries?

Presented at the following event:

8123. New Information and Communication Technologies and Old Organizational Challenges
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

In the early 1990s, a reform movement operating at the margins of the news industry launched a series of initiatives
design to reform journalism from within. Calling itself the “public journalism movement,” advocates argued that
professional journalism had become disconnected from the public it was supposed to serve and had reduced political
coverage to a series of shallow reports primarily for political insiders. The paper examines the technological,
organizational, and cultural connections between the public journalism and the digital journalism of the 21st century.
The research draws upon ethnographic fieldwork and social network analysis, and is part of a larger project analyzing
changes in news from 1997 until 2011. Specifically, the research looks at one Philadelphia project-- the “Next Mayor
project”-- and analyzes how new technological affordances, personnel work histories, and culturally-grounded notions
about what journalism “should be”-- guided the path of the project.

This study challenges the assumption that consumerism has deleterious effects on civic connectedness by testing the

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper draws from recent studies on print-era scrapbooks to offer an historical approach to contemporary social
media. While the scrapbook is typically regarded as a private site for managing memories, it was also a deeply social
medium that evolved from 16th-century practices of collection, circulation, correspondence, and display.
Correspondingly, while facebook is typically understood as a site for social interaction, it also serves users as an
informal personal archive. This paper surveys recent research on scrapbooks and facebook to highlight historical
commonalities between the two media, both in terms of the practices they have promoted for users, and the
methodological challenges they now produce for researchers. The goal is to observe how these “old” and “new”
technologies might mutually shed light on each other’s neglected public and private dimensions, offering scholars a
wider range of angles from which to approach them as cultural and biographical texts.

7131. Researching Communication Policy Revisited: Challenges in Times of Media Change and New Governance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Communication policy research has a tradition of intellectual self-reflection about epistemological matters, applied
theories and methodological approaches. There is thus a history of intense debates about the role researchers should
take in policy-making and fundamental criticism regarding their (lacking) political significance. This presentation first
revisits these debates and then discusses the present state of communication policy research and its actual influence on
political practice. It challenges the assessment that communication policy research is “without a real world role” and
demands that scholars move from being self-conscious to being self-confident about their relevance to communication
policy-making without losing sight, however, of the need to enhance, among other things, our theoretical and
methodological skills. The presentation discusses these issues with reference to media change that challenges
communication policy and to governance structures that open up new opportunities for informing policy-making
processes.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The study of citizen reception of political information is currently beset by an avalanche of new findings driven by
rapid change in the technologies and practices by which individuals produce, consume and share information. This
essay attempts to make sense of the consequences of these findings by looking back to the evolution of formative
theories of information diffusion in society. We propose a framework through which to make sense of current
contingencies of civic message exposure, which we term the curation of flows. Our model emphasizes the
contingencies of exposure to messages based jointly on the actions of strategic communicators; peer social curation;
individual channel selection habits; and computer algorithms designed to serve up customized content. The model
suggests a number of fruitful avenues for research and for the synthesis of disparate research findings into coherent
implications for the practice of informed citizenship and democracy.

This paper argues for a reconfiguration of the basic public interest principles underlying a progressive broadband
development policy, and the way policymakers approach complex tradeoffs between media, markets, and democracy
in emerging technological spaces more generally. In particular, we argue against universal service (as it has come to
be defined) as a bedrock principle of progressive telecoms policy, and in favor of a new guiding principle of socially
productive use, a theme that develops from interactions in the copyright reform and digital culture debates.

Occupy Wall Street and the resultant Occupy movement represent a new generation of post-Seattle protests, driven by
intensive social networking and engaging more complex and diverse issues than an earlier generation of anti-
globalization protests. This study analyses the Occupy Wellington protest that occurred on October 15, 2011 in order
to shed light on key theoretical debates about the role of digital technologies in social protests. Using data gleaned
from participant observation as well as 76 brief interviews, the study finds that digital technologies were ubiquitous
and interwoven at the protest. Participants developed a range of original frames for the protest, interpreting the
broader movement in diverse yet specific ways. The study also illustrates how initially thin ties between participants
thickened and developed throughout the day, establishing that the protest was as much a site of activist organizing as
it was an outcome of organizing.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study examines, in a global context, to the extent that national governments are using 2.0 Web-based applications
to increase transparency and engage citizens in decision-making processes. Based on a typology of governmental
websites that distinguishes among executive office sites, government portals and personal websites of head of
government, it reports levels of e-participation and information access supported by 160 websites from 82 different
countries. Results show that 70% of the websites do not offer any participatory services, and surprisingly we didn’t
find a positive relationship between e-participation and information access with variables traditionally associated with
e-government implementation. However, we found a difference between broadband and internet penetration: whereas
Internet is positively related to e-participation, broadband is to the release of data and information by governments,
which is consistent with citizen pressure models of policy change. Finally, in countries with high school enrollment
rates, government websites have a higher traffic.

Thursday, May 24, 9:00am to 4:30pm
Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication: CRONK 252

Mobile phones have either been conceptualised as technologies of freedom crucial in the mobilisation of
demonstrations and protests globally or as ‘middle class fads’. The role of new media (and social media in particular)
in political change has of course become even more hotly contested in recent protests part of the so-called ‘Arab
Spring’, which led to debates on whether or not the revolution was/would be tweeted. However, what has marked
recent debates is the tendency to analytically separate virtual and physical spaces. The political implications of mobile
phones have insufficiently been contextualised within the broader configuration of offline spaces. Furthermore, as
Judith Butler (2011) has recently argued, we often consider public spaces as spaces that are already public, hereby
ignoring the processes in which these spaces are claimed and constituted as public. Butler’s call for a deeper
understanding of the politics of the street is particularly pertinent in the context of Zambia’s recent general elections.
The relatively smooth change of power from the ruling Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) to the
opposition Patriotic Front (PF) represented a crucial moment in Africa’s political history, and was accompanied by
mass celebrations in the street which evoked the atmosphere of a low-level revolution. However, the celebrations
(which were largely ignored in global media) following the announcement of the results were preceded by a tense
atmosphere in which Zambians were urged to stay put at home and not move. The call not to move turned the street
into a space of unsociability, an abnormal situation given the crucial role of public talk in Zambia also known as
‘radio trottoir’, the everyday discussion of political affairs on pavements, in public transport and beer halls. Moreover,
the limitations on physical mobility coincided with a court injunction on private media which were accused of
publishing “speculative stories” on the election results. The information black-out led particularly middle-class
Zambians to resort to their internet-enabled mobile phones for updates on the elections on social media. The
Facebook page of the private television station Muvi TV in particular came to constitute an important, lively public
space where Zambians actively discussed the elections. Within seconds, updates on the page elicited hundreds of
responses. Muvi TV’s page is largely unmoderated and highly interactive which syncs with the station’s broader aim
of providing a voice to Zambia’s working class as opposed to the heavy focus on hard news and political elites on the
state-controlled Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation. Drawing on an analysis of Muvi TV’s Facebook page
coupled with participant observation and interviews in an up-market shopping mall and an informal market in Lusaka,
this paper examines the fluid movement between online and offline spaces in the context of Zambia’s hotly contested
elections. Echoing Sheller’s (2004) understanding of publics as fluid, momentary spaces and Butler’s (2011) work on
the politics of the street, I argue that a more location-aware understanding of mobile phone use in civic engagement
enables us to gain a better grasp of the shifting nature of urban sociability between virtual and physical spaces.
Fucking the Other: Marking Race and Communicating Intra- and Cross-Racial Desire on Manhunt.net, Alfred Leonard
Martin, Jr., U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

5133. "Other" Encounters
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper asks the question: How is race and cross-racial desire expressed on Manhunt? Via a sample of 550 men
from Manhunt, this paper interrogates how race is self-disclosed via usernames by men of color generally and black
gay men specifically, as well as white men; the ways in which desire to fuck or be fucked by the Other is
communicated; and lastly, how black performativity and notions of essential blackness are deployed by black gay men
and other gay men who want to, in a turn of bell hooks’ notion, “fuck the Other.” However, I argue that while color-
blindness is a notion in which we culturally want to believe, both in the “real world” and in online worlds, that race is
marked, even within whiteness which is often allowed/assumed to be exnominated.
Funding in Published Communication Research, Timothy R. Levine, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

7452-13. Information Systems Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Faculty are experiencing increased pressure to seek external funding for research. The frequency of attribution to
funding sources was examined in a content analysis of articles published in communication journals in 2010 (N = 611)
and 2000 (N = 141). In 2010, 22.9% of published articles reported funding of some sort, with 9.3% of the total
receiving US federal funding. The rates of funding varied by both journal and topic. No evidence was found for a
large increase in funding since 2000, but topics of study appear to have changed over time to favor funding potential.
Health communication was the most researched topic in published communication research.
Fundraising Practices at Noncommercial Radio Stations: A Public Relations Perspective, Josh Bentley, U of
Oklahoma

Presented at the following event:

7139. Public Relations Campaigns and Media
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

A series of qualitative interviews with noncommercial radio personnel indicate that public relations theories such as
relationship management, stewardship, and dialogue can help explain effective fundraising practices at
noncommercial radio stations.
Furries, Flame Wars and Fursecution: Neutralizing the Online Body, Burcu S. Bakioglu, Lawrence U

Presented at the following event:

5242. Performing Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Community Online
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This paper examines the politics surrounding the representation of Furry subcultures and how they are negotiated
online. Emerged in the early 80s, Furries (who don anthropomorphic likenesses) have developed a robust community
and become notorious for their alternative lifestyles and fetishes. As a reaction to these practices, trolls (another group
known for their tradition of spectacle and transgression), have initiated an Internet-wide flame wars against the
Furries. The Furries’ unabashed lifestyles characterized by open sexual experimentation that center on their
anthropomorphic bodies have triggered a representation war. Trolls, who frame the Furry culture with homophobic
rhetoric, have subjected them to repeated “fursecution” on various platforms. I argue that these flame wars are a
strategic response that aims to neutralize the corporeal presence of Furries by implementing offensive signifiers. This
paper will specifically focus on the war that erupted on YouTube known as the Furry/Troll War conducted by the
Fried Chicken Trolling Crew (FCTC).
Furthering Research on Adolescent Language Brokering: Psychometric Evaluations on Language Brokering
Measures, Lisa Mary Guntzviller, Purdue U; Jakob D. Jensen, U of Utah

Presented at the following event:

8142. Interpersonal Communication Challenges
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

The communicative act of children interpreting or translating language and cultural aspects for their parents is termed
“language brokering,” and is common in immigrant families. Language brokering research has mainly been conducted
with non-validated measures that pertain to only certain aspects of language brokering. Furthermore, these measures
conflate possible dimensions of language brokering that may have separate effects on adolescent outcomes. The
current study examined two previously used language brokering measures by Buriel et al. (1998) and Dorner et al.
(2007). Additionally, three sub-scales of language brokering were created pertaining to language brokering frequency,
quality, and negative feelings. These three sub-scales, along with a modified version of Buriel et al.’s items to create a
positive language brokering feelings sub-scale, were proposed as four dimensions of language brokering that are
psychometrically sound and that may be used as variables to examine previously conflicting evidence related to
language brokering outcomes.

Presented at the following event:

5142. Fembot & Ada: Exploring Feminist Digital Publishing
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This presentation will consider the future of feminist publishing and the importance of online community-building as
a bridge between scholarly circles and the broader feminist web-o-sphere, social networks and voices interested in
issues of gender, new media and technology. Further, we will query how Fembot as a digital publishing platform
enacts its feminist ideals through a commitment to collaborative and creative process, including experimentation,
work-in-progress, transparency of comment and feedback mechanisms, and the workflow of a distributed team.
Fembot will publish an online journal - its structure and function exceed that of an online journal, particularly in terms
of its innovative approach to peer review. The first issue of Ada: a Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology
will be a series of 5,000 word essays or multimodal contributions from invited contributors, who will be asked to
write about the state of the field of gender studies scholarship on new media and technology. The intent of this first
issue, to be edited by Carol Stabile, is to map the field, as well as to establish an image for the journal and generate
attention, in terms of both potential contributors and publics. The second issue (to be published in January 2013) will
be the first fully peer-reviewed issue on gender and game studies, and will be edited by Nina Huntemann. Fembot
further requires systems that can support the ability to comment and interact with that content in innovative ways that
transcend the traditional journal structure. Integrating the workflow and making the commenting system open, we
intend to make publishing scholarly works more easily attainable, sustainable, and forward looking. This paper asks
how we might create a tool that can be used to 'push' academic journals beyond an online version of the print artifact.
Game Off!: Understanding Newspapers Portrayals of the NHL Lockout Using Situational Crisis Communication
Theory, Melanie Jane Formentin, Pennsylvania State U

Presented at the following event:

6239. Safety, Risk & Crisis Communications
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This case study used content analysis of newspaper coverage of the 2004-05 National Hockey League (NHL) lockout
to examine principles of Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). Variables including crisis responsibility,
crisis history, prior reputation, and relationship history were examined in articles from seven newspapers in the U.S.
and Canada. A mixed-methodology approach allowed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the articles, drawn
from when the lockout was announced, the season was canceled, and the lockout was lifted. Newspaper articles (n =
264) were analyzed to examine if the lockout was presented as a crisis, how SCCT variables and the NHL’s reputation
were established, what strategic communication strategies the league used, and what differences existed between U.S.
and Canadian papers. Results suggest that the NHL’s communication strategy was portrayed as having aligned with
SCCT, but the league faced reputational challenges and perceptual differences depending on the news source.

Presented at the following event:

5350. Variant Voices: New Media Technology, Political Life, and Making Queer Communities
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Marginalized communities must address the mainstream—and each other. Gay men and feminist women, despite
sharing patriarchal, heteronormative obstacles, have not always been allies. Conventional wisdom holds that
misogyny, homophobia, and other factors divide them, but an examination shows how the groups succeed and fail at
working together through communication. Archival research, interviews, and online data mining of sources—ranging
from archives of consciousness-raising groups and community newspapers ti do-it-yourself voices amplified in social
media—document counter-histories, Explicit collaboration took place around the Equal Rights Amendment and Anita
Bryant’s 1977 campaign to overturn Dade County’s gay rights ordinance. New media increase opportunities and
potential connections for coalition and community. But internal discourses of activist groups also circulate obstructive
stereotypes. By sometimes supporting and sometimes contradicting conventional wisdom, the stories that alternative
voices communicate offer insights for existing and potential communities.
Gender Inequality and Rural Employment Generation Program in India, Uttaran Dutta, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

7138. Critical Perspectives on Development Campaigns
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

In 2005 the Government of India launched an employment guarantee program, namely Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), for the underserved population of the country. According to the
government, the MGNREGA program “aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by
guaranteeing one hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household whose adult members
volunteer to do unskilled manual work” at the statutory minimum wage (of US$2.17 per day in 2009 prices). In the
context of gender inequality, scholars indicated that the gender-discriminatory power structures yield gender-
insensitive development outcomes; which are the key reasons for further deprivation of women. To address the issue
of gender-inequality the MGNREGA program took several gender-sensitive measures. To understand the gender
inequality in contemporary India and the appropriateness of MGNREGA, this paper will discuss ‘how effectively does
the MGNREGA program address gender inequality?
Gender and Social Resource: Predicting Divides of SNS and Mobile Phone Use in Singapore, Ji Pan, Nanyang
Technology University; Marko M. Skoric, Nanyang Technological U

Presented at the following event:

5238. Women's Use of New and Old Media to Create Social Change
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This study examines how gender and workplace social resource predict variances of SNS and mobile phone use in a
patriarchal Confucian culture. Analyses of survey data from Singapore show that males use mobile phone and SNS for
professional connections more frequently than females. The use of SNS and mobile phone to interact with friends
does not differ between genders. People with more social resources use SNS and mobile phone more to contact
business connections or personal friends. The impact of social resource on the usage gap does not vary across genders.
Implications for second-order digital divide and social media use are discussed.
Gendered Reception of a Botswana Edutainment Drama, L. Meghan Peirce, West Chester U

Presented at the following event:

5238. Women's Use of New and Old Media to Create Social Change
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This audience reception analysis aims to understand fan responses to gender representations found in Makgabanen, a
serial radio soap drama that addresses critical HIV/AIDS awareness and behavior change issues in Botswana.
Through 42 in-depth interview discussions with fans of the drama, a better understanding is gained of how fans of
Makgabaneng interpret and make sense of societal gender roles through the edutainment series. Results show that
Makgabaneng has been successful at empowering females in pushing forth narratives where female characters are
portrayed as educated, independent and confident individuals. However, this has been accomplished by constructing
males as uneducated, irresponsible and dependent in society. This is a troubling depiction, as very little support or
counseling programs exist in Botswana. It is recommended that Makgabaneng addresses this inequity by creating a
more balanced number of positive and negative female and male characters.
Gendering Jokes: Intergroup Bias in Reactions to Same- vs. Opposite-Gender Humor, Jessica R. Abrams, California
State U - Long Beach; Amy M. Bippus

Presented at the following event:

5330. Current Issues in Intergroup Communication
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Based on social identity theory, the study tests the proposition that individuals will demonstrate outgroup rejection in
their reactions to jokes that target the opposite gender, in comparison to jokes that target their own gender. We
extended prior research by examining the effect of individuals’ level of identification with their gender, and assessing
individuals’ propensity to discriminate against a hypothetical ingroup or outgroup member after exposure to the jokes.
Results indicated that women exhibited ingroup rejection, while men showed bias toward women only in the 1-joke
(as compared to 5- and 10-joke) condition. Men and women with low gender identification rated ingroup jokes funnier
and more typical than those about the opposite gender, yet women with high gender identification yielded this same
pattern in ratings of joke typicality. The findings did not support the basic assumptions of social identity theory;
however, the theory remained useful in interpreting the results, which undoubtedly reflect the intergroup dynamics
inherent in gender relations.
Generational Differences Among Gay Men and Lesbians: Social and Media Change (Also Featured in Virtual
Conference), David Gudelunas, Fairfield U

Presented at the following event:

7242. Extended Session: Coming Together: Online, Offline, and Transmedia Studies of GLBT/Q Politics and
Representation
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This essay looks at generational differences in the gay and lesbian community and specifically looks at how
technology serves as a point of distinction in the coming out and socialization process of younger and older sexual
minorities. Drawing on generational cohort theory, this essay begins with a review of literature related to ageing in
the gay and lesbian community and then looks at qualitative and quantitative findings to establish key points of
difference between older and younger cohorts of sexual minorities. Ultimately, the availability of technology
including social media, online communities and other new media tools in the lives of gay men and lesbians is
positioned as a critical distinction in the understanding and acceptance of an abstract notion of gay and lesbian
community.
Geographic Dissonance in Media Issue Framing: A Content Analysis on Wisconsin Protests, Fei Qiao, U of Missouri;
Joseph Yerardi, U of Missouri; Yan Lu, U of Missouri

Presented at the following event:

7452-18. Journalism Studies Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study attempted to examine how the geographic nature of a newspaper (national versus local) would affect the
issues that paper decides to focus on when reporting on the same issue. The study chose to look at framing differences
on Wisconsin protest between the New York Times and the Wisconsin State Journal. It turned out that the Wisconsin
State Journal used more Wisconsin-based news sources, while the New York Times used more sources from outside
Wisconsin. In addition, the study showed that these two newspapers had some differences when choosing reporting
implications. The New York Times certainly had more reports focused on the political conflicts raised by the protest.
However, the Wisconsin State Journal didn't have more coverage on the fiscal issue as the researchers hypothesized.
The major reason for that is that there were a larger variety of reporting implications than the researchers
hypothesized.
Geographical Inequalities in New Media Connectedness in Seoul: A Multilevel Approach, Haeyoung Shon, Yonsei U;
Yong-Chan Kim, Yonsei U

Presented at the following event:

5324. Inequality and Digital Divide
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

The purpose of this study is to examine individual’s connectedness to the Internet and social networking services
(SNS) as influenced by multi-level factors. We hypothesized that how individual’s connectedness to the Internet and
SNS is influenced not only by individual-level factors (e.g., individuals’ income, education, age, and gender) but also
by contextual factors (i.e., characteristics of residential areas). For this study, survey data were collected in October
2010 from 1365 individuals who lived in 25 districts in Seoul. The data were analyzed by hierarchical linear modeling
(HLM). Internet and SNS connectedness were measured as goal scope and dependency intensity following Jung et
al.’s (2001) Internet Connectedness Index. We found that people’s Internet and SNS connectedness were influenced
both by individual-level and contextual-level factors. Multilevel analyses showed that “age’, “gender”, “education”,
and ‘income” were significant individual-level factors in internet and SNS connectedness. In addition, several
contextual factors such as district level “economic status”, “the percentage of people above age 65”, and “educational
status” were statistically significant district -level variables that affected internet and SNS connectedness even when
individual-level characteristics and measurement error were controlled. The current study provides a contextual
approach to exploring the issue of digital inequalities in urban environments.
Geopolitics, the Middle East and the Popular Imagination, Mehdi Semati, Northern Illinois U

Presented at the following event:

6240. Thinking Methods: Popular Communication and Everyday Experiences of the Geopolitical
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper addresses the methodological challenges in studying the intersection of popular communication and
geopolitics as it focuses on the Western political imaginary, the Middle East and popular culture. It traces the
construction of the “Muslim-other” as a specific projection of textual and discursive operations across popular media.
It traces the development of the contemporary figure of the “Muslim-other” in the popular imaginary to the “resurgent
America” theme of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, and argues that Hollywood’s perennial Muslim terrorist figure has
exhausted itself. However, other popular-political discourses (e.g. the “Stop Sharia Law” movement in the US) have
stepped in to resurrect a generic figure. The emerging methodological conundrum is accounting for the tension
between the legacy media’s interpretative frameworks and the flow of counter-discourses facilitated by participatory
media (from within and without the Middle East) and global social networking sites. Mehdi Semati Dept. of

Germania: La Dolce Terra d’Immigrazione? Challenging Transnational European Citizenship on German Screen (Top
Student Paper), Julia Khrebtan-Hoerhager, U of Denver

Presented at the following event:

6552. Intercultural Communication Division Top Four Papers
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This essay analyzes Fatih Akin’s German-Italian cross-cultural drama Solino (2002) as it depicts the problematic and
controversial social and cultural phenomena of transnational European identity and inclusive multiculturalism in the
era of globalization and on-going migration. Specifically, this work illustrates how Akin’s cinematographic narrative
confirms German and Italian Eurocentricity and its well-established system of values as “passing” criteria for the
currently celebrated yet questionably inclusive European multiculturalism.
Geronimo, Osama bin Laden, and American Glory: The Ideology of Masculine Colonialism and the Misrepresentation
of the Apache Indians in American Rhetoric, Kevin Ray Kemper, U of Arizona

Presented at the following event:

6233. Nations and Narrations
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

American rhetoric simultaneously has inflated and emasculated the manhood of Geronimo and other Apache warriors
to justify Euro-American colonialism and manhood. This can be seen in the recent use of the stereotypical phrase
“Operation Geronimo” to describe the American military action that led to the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin
Laden in May 2011. This also can be seen in rhetoric in mass media that tell stories about Geronimo and the Apaches.
Thus, this study is the result of an ideological critique of a sample of mass communication by and about Geronimo,
including newspaper accounts, biographies, autobiographies, and even a Hollywood movie, to see how manhood or
masculinity is represented. Within this collision of issues about ethnicity, race, gender, communication, and culture,
we see how men construct their own personal versions of what it means to be men and how this quest sometimes
results in violence.
Gestures of Time Among the Miriuwong People of Western Australia, Marilyn B Mitchell, Bond U

Presented at the following event:

6321. Ethnographic Studies of Cultural Communication Practices in Language and Social Interaction
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This paper documents some time-related concepts including today, tomorrow, yesterday and all day in the sign
language of the Miriuwong of Western Australia. Although prior research has looked at sign language among other
Aboriginal groups (e.g. Kendon, 1988), this research is the first to look at sign language among the Miriuwong. The
research purpose was to help preserve an aspect of Aboriginal culture and compare underlying metaphors in the
representations of time in Miriuwong sign language to metaphors in other oral and signed languages. Results indicate
that as in nearly all oral languages and sign languages of the deaf, Miriuwong signs are based upon the metaphor time
is space. Similar to sign languages of the deaf, the Miriuwong signs for today, tomorrow, and yesterday are made
along a horizontal path with the sign for today occurring at the speaker’s position, tomorrow in front of the speaker,
and yesterday behind.
Getting to the Bottom of it All: Arguing for the Importance of a Theoretical Basis in Visual Content Analysis,
Franziska Marquart, U of Vienna

Presented at the following event:

7236. Analyzing the Visual: Theory, Methods, and Practice of Visual Content Analysis
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The need to establish a specific visual instrument for content analysis has increasingly gained relevance in the past
years, taking into consideration the growing amount of images in media and their effect on audiences alike. Above all,
the need to deal with press photographs in a way that makes inter-individual and, more precisely, general statements
on their impact accessible to researchers, has consequently uttered various approaches for quantitative visual content
analysis. Though qualitative methods are, without doubt, of great importance, it has to be recognized that visual
communication still lacks an effective fundamental theoretical basis that allows for a reasonable transfer of classic
quantitative content analysis to images without disregard of their particular requirements in methodology (Mueller,
2003). This paper addresses both the semiotic perspective on visual material as well as a theoretical reflection of
content analysis basics in application to pictures. It will be argued that, on the one hand, a fruitful approach to visual
content analysis should take into account the semiotic concepts of denotation, connotation and connotative codes as
meanings within a sign (Großklaus, 1980; Eco, 1994; Poddig, 1995). A third level of meaning is included through the
individual associations arousing while perceiving an image, bearing in mind the strength of personal as well as
emotional influences on the reception process and its effects on memory (Stoeckl, 2004). On the other hand, these
levels of meaning can be addressed through the (objective) manifest and (subjective) latent content of the sign, as it is
differentiated in content analysis (Berelson, 1952). However, this distinction cannot easily be maintained in the
analysis of images and will be further distinguished. It will be reasoned that the combination of semiotic levels of
meaning within the content levels of a picture contributes significantly to a theoretical approach that makes images
accessible for the method of content analysis, ultimately opening the visual content for this essential method of
communication sciences.
Girl Gamers on Reddit: A Technocultural Discourse Analysis, Kelly Bergstrom, York U

Presented at the following event:

5242. Performing Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Community Online
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Reddit.com is a news aggregate website with on average 8 million unique visitors per month. To facilitate connections
between likeminded individuals the website is divided into smaller communities or “subreddits”, each focused around
particular interests or hobbies. Girl Gamers, a mid-sized subreddit, is one such community that was created
specifically as a female-friendly response to the perceived misogyny present in other gaming forums. In this paper I
argue that despite claims of this community being open to all women who love games, strict border patrolling among
members controls which women are included under the “girl gamer” banner. Using Critical Technocultural Discourse
Analysis (Brock 2009; 2011) to analyze the forum posts, I find that not only do the Girl Gamers limit who is part of
their community, this boundary is drawn based on the sexist stereotypes used by the larger gaming community this
group claims to be breaking away from.
Girls Everyday: Fluid Identity Practice, On and Offline, Lisa Marie Wagner, U of Cincinnati

Presented at the following event:

8232. Adolescents, Media, and Identity Formation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This presentation examines the culture of adolescent girlhood and identity performance as they coexist with social
networking. Through application of adolescent development theory, identity performance theory, and girls’ studies,
the presentation answers the question, “How do social networking sites, like MySpace.com, factor into the everyday
lives and fluid identity practices of adolescent girls?” By incorporating participant observation, textual analysis and
guided conversation interviews, I explore the culture of girlhood at an all-girls’ high school, and the performance of
identity on and offline, of twenty-two participants. According to Clark (2005), adolescents today are living in a
constant contact culture, or what I may call a constant image culture, where they are forced to always be “on”
--presenting self in the most favorable light. Overall, this presentation addresses the changing social environment for
developing teens and looks to acknowledge the increasing struggle for performing identity in girls’ everyday lives.

Girls, Zines, and the 1990s: Creating Organic Intellectuals for a New Era, Janice Radway, Northwestern U

Presented at the following event:

7542. Wikis, Zines, and Beyond: New Media Representations and Interventions
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Based on archival work and oral history interviews, this paper looks at the practice of girl zine making in the 1990s
and its aftermath. Tracing the history of girl zine-ing from the inception of Riot Grrrl to their popularization through
magazines like Sassy and Seventeen, it focuses on the ways in which girl zine creators, using feminist discourses
which they modified to a certain extent, explored, commented on, and criticized the contemporary situation of young
women during the 1990s. Then, tracing the later history both of the zines themselves -- as they were circulated in new
circles and by new networks -- and the young women who initially created them, the paper suggests that the activity of
girl zine production actually created a new cohort of organic intellectuals capable of, and dedicated to, leading a new
feminist generation.
Give to the Party What Supports the Party and Give to the Internet What Seems to be Supported: Empirical Evidence
on Dualistic Discourse Universes in China, Fei Chris Shen, City U of Hong Kong; Ning Mena Wang, Hong Kong
Baptist U

Presented at the following event:

6534. High Density Session: Talking Online: Discourse, Debates, Discussions, Deliberation
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study compares two participatory behaviors, online opinion expression and official channel opinion expression in
China by relating them to media use habits and mediating factors such as perceived opinion support and personal issue
stance. Findings from a telephone survey in Shanghai suggest that the opinion expression processes occurring in the
two discursive universes in China – official and nonofficial – are distinctive. Opinion expression through
governmental channels is conceptually grouped with pro-Party opinion and traditional news media consumption,
while online opinion expression is associated with perceived opinion support and informational internet use.
Furthermore, we find negative relationships between internet use and pro-Party opinion and between perceived
opinion support and opinion expression via official channels.
Giving Campaign Appeals in University Web Sites: A Cross-Cultural Content Analysis of the United States and
Korea, Yeo Jin Kim, U of Alabama; Hyuk Soo Kim, U of Alabama; Doohwang Lee, U of Alabama

Presented at the following event:

7139. Public Relations Campaigns and Media
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study conducted a content analysis to investigate giving campaign appeals in university Web sites in the United
States and Korea. Based on the two-way symmetrical communication model of public relations (Grunig & Hunt,
1984), the study explored how the university Web sites presented the giving campaigns to the interested publics.
Further, guided by Hofstede (1980)’s individualism/collectivism and Hall (1983)’s high and low context in cultural
dimension, this study compared how the campaign appeals are associated with the distinct cultural values between the
United States and Korea. The findings demonstrated that the U.S. university Web sites targeted university-affiliated
donors more frequently and used multimedia-based exemplars about the giving campaigns more frequently than the
Korean university Web sites. Other culture differences in the giving campaign appeals were found and the theoretical
and practical implications were discussed.
Glamorizing Sick Bodies: How Antiretroviral Drugs Have Changed the Representation of HIV/AIDS, Marco Scalvini,

Presented at the following event:

7329. Understanding and Addressing the Social Contexts of Health Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

s a consequence of pharmaceutical advancements, HIV is no longer described in terms of the absence of health or
presence of illness, and advertisements promoting anti-AIDS medications commercialize idealized and desirable
bodies. The present study discusses representations of HIV/AIDS in commercial advertising and their change over
time. The article traces the shift in AIDS/HIV representations in commercial advertising from the early 1990s, when
images of decay and disease represented AIDS, to nowadays, when the wider availability of antiretroviral medications
and their ability to prolong life produced new representations of HIV-afflicted bodies. Claiming that HIV individuals
can lead a normal life where everything is possible, advertising has re-established the definition of a sick body. On the
other hand, this marketing approach has important social implications because such representations minimize the
seriousness of HIV infection and fail to take into account the real dangers of contracting HIV and to accurately
represent the life with HIV and AIDS.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This article uses Richard Dyer’s work on stereotypes, as well as that of Larry Gross, as the foundation for a critical
cultural textual analysis of Glee, exploring the changing representation of gay masculinities. This study was
conducted in response to the growing problem of bullying-related suicides by gay teens in the United States.
Specifically, this article seeks to understand how Glee negotiates Dyer’s and Gross’s conceptions of gay
masculinities; how Kurt Hummel reinforces, challenges, or complicates previous gay representations; the existence of
deviant representations; the juxtaposition of gay and hegemonic masculinities; and the changing reactions of others to
gay characters in the coming-out narrative. Textual analysis revealed the performance and discussion of common
themes, and this article concludes that Glee presents its audience with a wider variety of gay teen representations than
previous media text, and further, that it serves as a reference for friends and family of gay teens.

6133. Moving Beyond Boundaries: Media and Caribbean Transnational Communities
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Lifestyle media advertising has emerged as an important discursive space for middle class Caribbean men in shaping
their performances of masculinity. Recent attention to male consumption globally has raised many important
questions concerning the relationship between advertising and the performance of masculinities. However, little
interrogation has been done in the Caribbean. This paper explores the centrality of advertising in shaping Caribbean
masculinities by examining the relationship between Caribbean, North American and European advertising and
masculinities. The theoretical framework centers questions of gender identity and is cognoscente of the negotiations
of power between the media and the audience. This paper explores three main questions: What discourses about
masculinities are produced in advertisements in lifestyle magazines? How do Caribbean men interpret these
discourses? In what ways do they inform the performance of masculinity?
Global Approaches to News Parody, Geoffrey Baym, U of North Carolina - Greensboro

Presented at the following event:

5522. Popular Culture and Political Communication Around the World
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The recent collection News Parody and Political Satire Across the Globe explores the genre of television news parody
from an international perspective. It finds that parody has become a near-ubiquitous form of television programming
the world over, and an increasingly viable mode of popular political communication and public critique in countries
with disparate media systems, political structures, and cultural environments. This paper shares some of the lessons
learned from the process of assembling that collection. It considers the global flows and local conditions that both
enable and constrain the possibilities and purposes of parody across a range of national contexts. Likewise, it
examines some of the challenges that the transnational emergence of parody poses for scholars of political
communication, whose own academic assumptions are often grounded, perhaps unavoidably, in particular cultural
contexts. Geoffrey Baym is Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. He
is the author of the award-winning From Cronkite to Colbert: The Evolution of Broadcast News (Paradigm Publishers,
2010), which traces a trajectory from the dominance of the nightly news of the high-network era to the increasing
influence of the satirical newsmen Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. His writings on the changing nature of news,
public affairs media, and political discourse also have appeared in numerous scholarly journals and anthologies.
Currently he is co-editing the forthcoming collection News Parody and Political Satire Across the Globe (Routledge,

Presented at the following event:

6140. Critical Geographies of Popular Television: Regionalization and Residual Empires
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper examines the rise of Turkey as a global center for television drama production and distribution in the
Middle East and Eastern Europe. As a country that geographically and culturally straddles two continents, Turkey
exemplifies the ways that ideological constructions of “East” and “West” are enacted within the class/cultural
divisions within and between nations. In this regard, contemporary political struggles between secular and religious
movements have contributed to competing narratives within domestic television dramas that resonate transnationally.
Consequently, several Turkish television dramas have generated unprecedented ratings in Arab countries where they
are read as Islamic culture ‘mediated by modernity.’ Simultaneously, other productions that emphasize the secular
state and inter-ethnic relationships are successful in Eastern Europe where they have been interpreted as highlighting
cosmopolitan identities in a globalized world. The analysis emphasizes how Turkey’s transition into a global media
region parallels the cultural geography of the former Ottoman Empire.

Jade L. Miller, Tulane U

Presented at the following event:

5337. The Global-Local Tension in Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

While Nollywood, Nigeria’s video industry, is largely excepted from dominant global cultural industry networks of
production inputs and distribution, it is an industry that is still globally linked in a number of ways. In this article, I
investigate the nature and layout of these connections via interviews with those populating those networks, from key
Nollywood producers to shopowners thousands of miles from Lagos. I conclude that, instead of the formal links of
dominant cultural industry networks, these links are instead mostly via alternative global networks, forged on the
flipside of – or the gaps between – the connections that link the Network Society. Some formal international
institutions have a presence, but these are largely mediated through Nollywood’s location in global cultural industry
networks. I argue that this renders Nollywood an alternative media capital, central to alternative networks, and it is
from this position we can best understand Nollywood’s position in global media flows.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Given the significant rise in the use of social media in global disaster relief events, this study examines the extent to
which Facebook plays an important role in disseminating information and creating interactions in two recent global
earthquakes in Haiti and Japan. Specifically, the present study explores the role of Facebook in mobilizing a global
information flow by emphasizing two primary objectives: 1) How much were organizations and individuals involved
in the information exchange and transfer through Haiti and Japan networks on Facebook? 2) What kinds of
information distributed through the networks such as plain information or social support? From a network analysis of
the Facebook page regarding the Haiti and Japan earthquakes, this study gives insight on the role of Facebook in
global disaster relief networks as an efficient platform to facilitate engagement of a wide variety of organizations and
individuals beyond geographical boundaries.
Globalization, Media Policy, and Regulatory Design: Rethinking the Australian Media Classification Scheme, Terry
Flew, Queensland U of Technology

Presented at the following event:

5337. The Global-Local Tension in Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This paper considers the debate about the relationship between globalization and media policy from the perspective
provided by a current review of the Australian media classification scheme. Drawing upon experience from inside the
policy process, as Lead Commissioner on the Australian National Classification Scheme Review, it is argued that both
theories of globalization and neoliberal globalization fail to adequately capture the complexities of the reform process,
particularly around the relationship between regulation and markets. It is also argued that claims that media
globalization weakens nation-states miss both the extent to which public policy can enable greater global integration,
and the wider questions surrounding media content policies in an age of media convergence. The paper considers the
pressure points for media content policies in areas such as international classification schemes (such as ESRB and
PEGI for games), global digital content ‘stores’, and possibly offensive online material.

6141. The Ties that Bind: Networks and Network Analysis in Organizational Communication Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The digital games industry has developed from a secondary sector of the media entertainment industry to one of its
driving forces. Despite its economic relevance, it is still a transitional industry with quickly evolving structures. As
such, it is also an interesting object for the analysis of the development of media industries. The current study uses a
combination of social network analysis and expert interviews to map the emerging network structures within the
German games industry. It reconstructs the career pathways of key managers in the industry, including their former
and current business relations. The study’s findings indicate that the current breed of managers is primarily entering
the games business from other economic sectors. For this reason, the industry network is still characterized by weak
organizational interconnections. However, the stronger connectedness of a younger generation of managers hints at a
future strengthening of the underlying business and communication network.

Presented at the following event:

7127. Framing Immigration and Identity in the News
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

News media coverage shapes how people understand their world and assign social meaning to issues such as
immigration, but little is known about how newspapers in immigrant-sending countries are reporting on the issue. This
study uses a sample of a year’s worth of stories on immigration in three newspapers from Latin American countries
that traditionally have sent migrants abroad instead of hosting immigrants. A content analysis found that immigration
coverage is mostly focused on negative aspects of the phenomenon and is heavily de-humanized and de-
contextualized, while being more sympathetic toward immigrants and their plight as they head North.

Missing data are a ubiquitous problem in quantitative communication research, yet the missing data handling practices
found in most published work in communication leave much room for improvement. In this paper, problems with
current practices are discussed and suggestions for improvement are offered. Finally, hot deck imputation is suggested
as a practical solution and a macro is presented which should enable communication researchers to easily implement
hot deck imputation into their analysis strategies.

Presented at the following event:

7139. Public Relations Campaigns and Media
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study reviewed and evaluated communication campaigns launched by the Chinese governments to facilitate long-
term disaster recovery after Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. The four consistent characteristics of renewal were
observed in the three-year recovery process. These characteristics included: provisional as opposed to strategic,
prospective rather than retrospective, capitalizing on the opportunities embedded in the crisis, and renewal as a leader-
based communication form. Propaganda strategies were identified in the communication campaigns which functioned
effectively and ethically. This research confirmed that the Wenchuan communication campaigns helped turning the
disaster into an opportunity for renewal. We concluded with a discussion of the implications for future research and
application. Keywords: discourse of renewal, Wenchuan earthquake, community recovery.

6529. Comics as Journalism? Scholars, Educators, and Practitioners Reflect on the Exploding Field of Graphic
Reportage
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

In this panel comics journalist Dan Archer (Stanford University John S. Knight Journalism Fellow 2010-11) will
introduce the concept of comics journalism and elaborate on the benefits of its usage in both the newsroom and the
classroom. The concept of using imagery to depict and chronicle news events is by no means a contemporary
innovation, but the exponential shift towards a more visual media culture (and the rise of the graphic novel within the
publishing industry) has seen the popularity of this pioneering form of journalism drastically increase in recent years.
Archer will elaborate on the cognitive differences between traditional visual news media (single panel editorial
cartoons, photos or video) and long-form comics, as well as delineating potential avenues for the future of the form
through digital platforms. Embeddable (and shareable) multimedia sources hyperlinked to panels and interactive
content with clear calls to action can be combined to create a multi-layered reading experience that allows readers to
navigate their own way through a story's component parts, deciding on their level of engagement with the piece. He
will demonstrate a number of prototypes and interactive pieces during the discussion, as well as highlighting the
collaborative aspect of the creative process behind non-fiction visual storytelling with a discussion of his current role
as co-Instructor of the Stanford Graphic Novel Project.

Presented at the following event:

7138. Critical Perspectives on Development Campaigns
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Every year millions of dollars are being spent on different health campaigns and promotions around the globe,
including small developing countries such as Bangladesh. But still, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) goal of
availing quality health care to people around the world remains illusory. The divergence between the health poor and
the health rich is widening globally, in spite of huge global investments in health promotion efforts. Also, disparities
are widening as the communities living in the borders of modernity and development (problematically used
interchangeably sometimes) are having increasingly difficult times in accessing health care. The lower income
demographics of Bangladesh construct one such community. In this essay, I propose a critical review of three widely
propagated health campaigns in Bangladesh. The campaigns are analyzed thematically using a critical lens, and finally
possible new explorations are offered for future campaigns.
Grounded Practical Theory: A Pragmatist Methodology for Organizational Communication, Robert T. Craig, U of
Colorado

Presented at the following event:

6641. Organizations as Communities of Doing: Exploring the Role of Pragmatism in Organizational Communication
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that embraces pluralism and democratic values, integrates theory with
practice, and orients to social problem-solving. Pragmatism is not per se a theory, metatheory, or methodology but is
a tradition of thought that has significantly influenced communication theory and the social sciences generally.
Grounded practical theory (GPT), a methodology in the pragmatist tradition, articulates principles and methods for an
empirically grounded description, critique, and normative theoretical reconstruction of communicative practices.
Numerous applications of GPT since it was first introduced by Craig and Tracy in 1995 have developed the
methodology and extended it in a variety of ways. This presentation will briefly introduce GPT, review some notable
applications in the field of organizational communication research, and discuss challenges and opportunities for this
work.

Presented at the following event:

5131. The Culture of Discourse About Nature
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study complicates the gendering of “mother nature,” pointing to an underlying everyday discursive formation of
nature that is decidedly androcentric. The dialectic at play, a favorably forefronted gynocentric pole masking a
dominant androcentric pole, problematizes past understandings of binaries and offers new ways to understand
humanature. Building upon the burgeoning study of critical ecocultural dialectics, we empirically investigate nature
framings in ocean and forest contexts. We suggest a gynocentric greenwashing exists in Western discourses about “the
environment,” in which communal, embodied human orientations with nature are favorably forefronted, yet
androcentric individuating, frontal orientations are overwhelmingly practiced. Everyday environmentally exultant
discourse may obscure and reproduce deeply embedded exploitive orientations that centrally regulate our perceptions
of, and interactions with, nature.
HIV/AIDS-Related Stigmatization in China: A Study of Netizens’ Responses to the Lifting of Entry Ban on HIV-
Positive Foreigners, Zixue Tai, U of Kentucky; Qiushi Nancy Wang, U of Kentucky; Fengbin Hu, Shanghai U

Presented at the following event:

7329. Understanding and Addressing the Social Contexts of Health Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

On April 27, 2010, the Chinese government announced that it had lifted a 20-year-old ban against HIV-carrying
foreigners entering the country. This move has met with overwhelming criticism from the Chinese public and has
triggered vigorous debates across China’s Internet. Against the backdrop of Deacon’s social process model of
stigmatization, this paper aims to offer insights on HIV/AIDS-related stigma in China as revealed through unmediated,
spontaneous user-generated posts across popular Web sites, blog pages, and social media space in response to the
government policy change. Qualitative and quantitative thematic analysis of netizens’ postings and comments
concerning the multi-dimensions of HIV/AIDS stigma casts light on both the universal as well as the particularistic
patterns of stigmatization contextualized within the socio-cultural settings of China.

6330. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Social, Cultural, and Community-Based Contexts of Health
Communication
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This research examines the impact of exposure to online blogs about the HPV vaccine on vaccine-related risk
perceptions, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. In a controlled experiment (N = 341), college students were exposed
to either a negative blog post about the HPV vaccine or a positive one. Compared to the control group, participants
who had viewed the negative blog perceived the vaccine as less safe, held more negative attitudes toward the vaccine,
were less interested in having their children vaccinated, and had reduced intentions to receive the vaccine themselves.
In contrast, exposure to the positive blog did not alter any vaccine-related risk perceptions, attitudes, or intentions.
Implications of the findings for online vaccine risk communication are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Existing literature on the Internet and political change in non-democracies tends to apply a binary framework of state
oppression and popular resistance, which obscures rich social processes such as online contestations among the
“people” themselves. This study examines the indigenous debate culture on the Chinese Internet. Using a symbolic
interactionist approach, it illustrates how the Chinese debate norms focusing on “independent thinking” fleshed out
and proliferated contingently through power-laden local interactions. In this process, various participants situated in
certain communicative and historical conjunctures, were self-motivated and reflexive in coping with their
surroundings. It contends that this particular online debate culture propelled certain behavioral and cultural changes
that have significant bearings on democratization in China.

Presented at the following event:

6555. Korean American Communication Association (KACA) State of Art Research Panel
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

The tourism industry has become increasingly competitive over the last several decades (Urry, 2002, p. 38), and South
Korea relies on Korean pop culture, or Hallyu, to entice foreign visitors to choose Korea over other destinations
(“Korea Sparkling”, 2010). In this analysis of the visual rhetoric of tourism advertising and marketing, I examine the
commodification of Korean history and culture in three materials circulated by the Korea Tourism Organization
(KTO) or the Seoul Metropolitan Government (a 30-second commercial, a five-minute music video, and a 30-minute
drama) to discover how Hallyu imagery works in these campaigns and how U.S.-based audiences might interpret these
images now that they have unprecedented access to Korean pop music videos, dramas, and movies through the
Internet (DramaFever Brings, 2010; Stober, 2011). Hallyu has succeeded in attracting tourists from Asia (Lin &
Huang, 2008, p. 224), but is Hallyu a strong enough force to cut through cultural barriers and to motivate Americans
to travel to Korea?

Presented at the following event:

6334. Political Communication Effects II
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

A growing body of research examines the moderators of political news framing effects. However, so far, moderators
have been described as cognitive, with a strong focus on the moderating function of political knowledge. Recently, a
number of scholars have suggested that framing effects might also depend on affective variables. However, to date,
the role of specific affective variables in moderating framing effects has not been fully determined in political
communication research. This study tests mood as one key moderator of political news framing effects on opinion.
By means of an experimental survey design (n = 179), we can show that participants in a bad mood are more
susceptible to news framing effects than those in a good mood. Implications for framing effects theory and political
communication are discussed.
Harnessing Social Technology in Students’ Transition to College: Facebook’s Role in Student Adjustment and
Persistence, Rebecca Gray, Michigan State U; Jessica Vitak, Michigan State U; Emily Easton, U of Illinois - Chicago;

Presented at the following event:

8124. Technology in College Students' Lives
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Social adjustment plays a critical role in student persistence at college. Ubiquitous among college students, social
media such as Facebook have the potential to positively enhance students’ transition to college by encouraging
connection and interaction among peers. The present study examines the role Facebook plays in students’ social
adjustment during their first year at a private, liberal arts college in the Midwest. We propose and test a model
including both traditional and Facebook-specific predictors of social support and social adjustment, as well as the role
that these factors play in predicting students’ persistence at the college the following year. Results indicate positive
relationships between two Facebook variables—the number of Facebook Friends students have at the college and
engagement in collaborative behaviors through the site—with measures of social support and social adjustment.
Following presentation of results, we discuss the implications of our study for technology’s role in higher education.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The study presented in this article aims to provide a better understanding of how elderly people use social robots in
domestic environments in general and, particularly, whether and how they build relationships with these robots. This
study is part of the larger EU project SERA (Social Engagement with robots and Agents) where real field studies are
conducted to study users behavior with social robots. The focus of this study was on how elderly use social robots and
how they interacted with the social robot. Six participants interacted with the Nabaztag, a zoomorphic social robot, for
a 10-day period in their own home environment. This study shows that utilitarian factors, especially the usefulness of
a social robot, and hedonic factors such as enjoying the companionship of the social robot were most important when
establishing a relationship with the social robot and incorporating it into the daily lives of people. Implications of the
findings on usage and acceptance of social robots are discussed.

5336. Engaged Academics in Neoliberal Universities: An Interactive, Community-Building Session
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The situation of German universities is contradictory: On the one hand, universities are public institutions of federal
states that have frozen or cut funding. On the other hand, the national government introduced the Excellence Initiative
to support excellent clusters, graduate schools, and institutional strategies. Therefore, research funding from national
sources depends, increasingly, on collaborative research programs. As a result, the university landscape is changing
from an egalitarian model to distinctions between strong research and teaching universities. These changes are not
one-dimensional neo-liberalism as new opportunities are evolving, particularly in some of the partially critical ‘reform
universities’ of the 1970s. As a result, individual faculty members face new challenges, leading to questions such as:
When does this kind of ‘program research’ become a burden for independent thinking? How can we find space for
critical thinking within such an environment? Andreas Hepp is Professor of Media and Communications at
University of Bremen and head of its Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI). He is the

Presented at the following event:

7452-24. Popular Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This essay seeks to build on the observation that the desire to control racial or class Others and maintain a state of
inequality is key to processes of governmentality. Specifically, I consider the meaning and resonance of the term
“gold-plated Cadillac health plans,” which first became nationally prominent when John McCain started using the
phrase during his presidential run, and which has “stuck” in US healthcare policy discourse. I analyze the phrase
diachronically, tracing the lineage or genealogy of this vivid term through history. The goal of this deep
contextualization is to empirically demonstrate the likely connotations, associations, and assumptions indexed by
“gold-plated Cadillac health plans.” Like so much political rhetoric, the term’s cultural resonance can only be fully
understood by knowing what the term points to, or doesn’t quite say. This is particularly the case for this phrase which
is so imbued with American popular idiom.

Presented at the following event:

6129. Health Information Seeking: Integrating Theory, Method, and Application
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

When the CDC issued a warning on the potential threat of the H1N1 influenza (also known as the swine flu) in April
2009, the uncertainty surrounding this virus captivated the attention of the public until the lack of immediate threat
was later reported. Unlike the typical seasonal flu, young adults aged 18-24 were considered a high-risk population
for the H1N1 virus. The present study examined college students’ cognitive and behavioral response in relations to
their H1N1-information seeking behavior. Study findings show that young adults first look to and are depended on
news media to seek information about serious health warnings related to the H1N1 pandemic. These young adults
also tend to favor offline news media over online news media as their primary source of information, owing to their
greater trust in the credibility of offline news media outlets over their online counterparts. Key Words: H1N1

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Low levels of science literacy impact an individual’s proficiency in health literacy, which can prove detrimental in a
health crisis. This study examines the role of public relations practitioners and the constraints of science and health
literacy in communicating messages of self-protection in a crisis. Specifically, the identifiable public relations
strategies of the FDA, CDC, and other prominent spokespersons were assessed and a content analysis of television
coverage during the first week of the 2010 Salmonella egg recall was performed to determine the ability of the
accountable agencies and organizations to communicate messages of self-protection through the media. This study
contends that public relations practitioners must take health and science literacy into consideration when developing
messages that must first pass through media gatekeepers. Implications are provided for improving communication in a

Increasingly, health scholars have started paying attention to the health experiences of immigrant communities,
particularly in the backdrop of the increasing global flows of goods, services, and people across borders. In spite of
the increasing public health emphasis on health outcomes of immigrants within the United States (US), immigrant
communities are often constructed as monoliths and the voices of immigrant communities are traditionally absent
from mainstream health policy and program discourses. The health experiences of immigrants, their access to
resources, and the health trajectories through the life-course followed by them and their descendants influence the
deep-seated patterns of ethnic health disparities documented in the US. It is in this backdrop then that the co-
constructions of experiences of health among immigrants offers an entry point for understanding the intersections of
migration and health, particularly as these intersections offer guidance for the development of culturally-situated
policies and programs. Based on the culture-centered approach, we seek to understand how low income Bangladeshi
immigrants in New York City, who live at the borders of mainstream American society, define, construct, and
negotiate health issues through co-constructions of their localized experiences of health.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Children’s exposure to televised advertising for unhealthy foods contributes to childhood obesity. Food ads often
feature popular children’s characters in commercials to increase liking and build brand loyalty. The influence of
popular characters is so strong that two major public health reports have called for industry to limit their use strictly to
advertising for healthy food products. Furthermore, companies are increasingly using health cue messages in
advertising for food products, in some cases even when the promoted items are of poor nutritional quality. Thus, this
study investigates the nutritional quality of foods promoted with both familiar children’s characters and health-related
messages in child-targeted food advertising. Results indicate that familiar characters are regularly linked to
nutritionally poor products, and frequently appear in ads for unhealthy foods that ironically include health cue
messages promoting the unhealthy product. This pattern of advertising to children stands at odds with
recommendations of public health officials.

6330. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Social, Cultural, and Community-Based Contexts of Health
Communication
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

The study of food grants insight into the everyday and routine practices of individuals, families, communities, and
cultures. This essay takes a communication ‐based approach to examine how individuals and groups negotiate
competing discourses of healthy eating and eating on a budget. Both academic and popular texts often position making
healthy food choices and making food choices within a budget as mutually exclusive practices. At the same time,
public health practice has helped to identify strategies, like increasing access to local foods and seasonal produce, as
ways for individuals and groups to negotiate these competing discourses with greater ease. Using a qualitative
approach called discourse tracing, this essay illustrates how individuals and groups use communication resources to
construct food choices. The project focuses on participants who receive some form of food assistance, including social
welfare programs and university meal programs, and the discursive practices involved in healthy eating on a budget.
Healthy Food? “Naturally”: Anthropocentrism, Sustainability, and Normality, Alison Mary Henderson, U of Waikato

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This paper examines the multiple understandings of the term “natural” currently evident in organizational
communication in the public domain in relation to health, food, and the environment. In the western world where
“healthy” food is increasingly constructed within a medical paradigm, “healthy” usually means the wellbeing of
humans, and healthy food is narrowly defined in terms of the essential nutrients for human health. At the same time,
concern is growing about the sustainability of “natural” resources, and food production practises. In response,
organizations such as food producers increasingly promote foods and health supplements as “naturally” healthy. Yet,
how far does this implicit concern for “natural” public health denote a genuine commitment to sustainable and
socially just food systems? Such normalised practises mask hidden relations of power, and represent a continuing
anthropocentric preoccupation with health, played out in an economic environment where promotional rhetoric has
colonised understandings of what is “natural”.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Queer storylines offer titillation in straight-centered daytime television, but YouTube channels upend soap operas.
Fan channels for German, Dutch, English, Welch, French, Spanish, Argentine, and US gay love stories, 2006–2011,
show how fan communities spotlight queer narratives and relegate others to supporting roles. Cliffhanger scenes—a
staple of the genre—instead tumble in quick succession online, unlike the pacing on daytime television. The genre
structured content around advertising, which rarely appears online. The compelling narratives give a mainstream
account of five gay set pieces: coming-out, marriage, parenting, stasis, and break-up or death. Modernist love (but not
lovemaking) drives the irresistible action in queer stories of individualism, functionalism, idealism, and romanticism.
Fan communities re-purpose media contents, but mainstream commercial frames materially delimit the content needed
to imagine queer communities.
Henri Lefebvre’s Sociology of Communication: A Critical Introduction, James Pamment, Karlstad U

Presented at the following event:

6136. New Directions in the Theory of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The purpose of this article is to explore and develop the connections between philosopher-sociologist Henri Lefebvre,
and contemporary Media & Communication Studies. Lefebvre wrote extensively on everyday life, semiotics, the state,
globalisation, and space and time, and these remain vital areas of investigation for media scholars today. As
Lefebvre’s influence has filtered through to contemporary discussions within media studies of a ‘spatial’ or
geographical turn, it seems appropriate to re-situate his writings on communication within his key philosophical and
sociological principles. The article discusses: dialectics, space and time, everyday life, his perceived-conceived-lived
triad, his approach to semiotics, the concept of the semantic field, and his later – and crucial – theory of texture.
Finally, the discussion shifts to globalisation and explores the relationship between his approaches to communication
and the development of the nation-state and the world market. The article aims to provide a resource for media
scholars looking to engage with his sociological approach to communication.

8120. The Selection of Content in the Contemporary Media Environment
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

One oft-heard prediction about the effects of popular adoption of the internet and cable television for news
consumption is the development of a fragmented and polarized citizenry. This outcome, if it occurs, is likely to be
facilitated by technologies that allow people to closely match their preferences in news topics with the available
content. Such a close articulation of individuals and messages could manifest itself in widening gaps in news
attention among different social strata. The present study tests this suggestion with an analysis of time series data
stretching from 1996 through 2008. The results provide little evidence that audience education, income, and political
party attachment are becoming stronger predictors of topical news attention over time and with increased access to the
internet and cable television. If anything, gaps between social groups seem to be narrowing in many cases. The paper
features some explanations for this surprising set of findings.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The analysis presented in this article focuses on one candidate’s political advertisements. Ultimately, the analysis will
demonstrate the use of multimodal discourse in which the candidate’s linguistic and embodied practices combine with
video and sound techniques to embed communication discourse with ideas of an existential and historical coherence.
Language is connected with images in the advertisements through the use of cinematography and editing techniques.
The video and film techniques augment the force of the candidate’s language by allowing him: 1) to construct an
embodied narrative in which he connects his past work with his decision to run for office, and 2) to link his decision
to run for office with historical events. Keywords: narrative coherence, multimodality, discourse analysis, political
discourse, political, campaigns, video analysis

6333. Immigration and Media Usage: A Comparative Analysis Between Hispanophone and Lusophone Diasporas
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper analyzes the relationship between human and media migrations within the Lusophone world system. It will
use as structural background the concept of the world system (Wallerstein, 2004) to examine interacting regional and
cultural-linguistic components of this larger, global system. It builds more specifically on the ideas of a specific
transnational Lusophone migration system (Baganha, 2009) and a specific type of Lusophone cosmopolitanism, which
Freyre and others saw as building on a more open, less racialized form of colonialism, and subsequent post-colonial
relations (Beck, 2006; Freyre, 1940). Connecting this history to the way immigrant populations from Brazil and
Lusophone Africa (namely Cape Verde, Mozambique, and Angola) interact with television and new media outlets, I
will analyze the role media plays both within the assimilation process into Portuguese society and to keep connections
with host countries.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper seeks to historicize Twitter within a longer historical framework of diaries to better understand not only
Twitter but broader communication practices and patterns. Based on a review of historical literature regarding 18th
and 19th century diaries, we created a content analysis coding scheme to analyze a random sample of publicly
available Twitter messages according to themes in the diaries. Findings suggest commentary and accounting style
diary entries are the most popular narrative styles on Twitter. Despite important differences between the diaries and
Twitter, this analysis suggests long-standing social needs to account, reflect, communicate, and share with others.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

At the crossroads of Southeast Asia and strongly influenced by Western ideas and values, Singapore is truly
multicultural and a place of great social ferment. In addition to coping with myriad ethnic differences in a diverse
population, Singapore has also been coming to terms with a more vocal gay community. Recent research has
investigated attitudes towards lesbians and gay men and acceptance of them. Findings indicate that interacting with
gay men and lesbians moderates attitudes toward these groups, thus lending additional support to the contact
hypothesis (Allport, 1954). The study also examined how cultural orientation, religion and other demographic
characteristics might be related to attitudes and perceptions of homosexuality. The findings of the study will be
discussed in terms of different cultural perspectives on the relationship of the individual and society, individual rights
and normative views of behavior, and the nature of personal disclosure.
Hong Kong's Journalists in Transition, Clement YK So, Chinese U of Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

7228. The Global Journalist in the 21st Century
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper provides an analysis of journalists in Hong Kong. It draws on three surveys of journalists conducted in
1996, 2001, and 2006. By examining to what extent and in which ways the profession has changed, it explicates how
the journalistic profession has responded to and was shaped by the changing social, political and economic
environment. Hong Kong journalists have not changed dramatically over the years except for journalists’ reasons to
leave the profession. While politics has become much less important over the years, salary and career advancement
have gained weight among journalists as possible reasons for leaving the field. Hong Kong journalists perceived a
significant degree of self-censorship going on around them and, more importantly, becoming more serious. Yet the
perceived decline of press freedom did not result in stronger intentions to leave the profession.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The purpose of this exploratory field study conducted in Assam in North-East India in December, 2010 and January,
2011 was to gauge the potential for introducing digital storytelling as a tool for empowerment and self-expression
amongst 9-15 years old school-going children in a few villages. For a period of 18 days, I filmed in 12 schools in the
district of Jorhat in Eastern Assam and got an opportunity to witness first-hand the level of digital divide as it exists in
those rural communities. Armed with a high-definition digital video camera and a digital audio recorder, I travelled to
these interior villages to get a glimpse of how digital storytelling can potentially be a participatory as well as artistic
exercise to give voice to children in these less-developed communities.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In this paper, we test how segments of the public emotionally react to messages that provide different frames of
reference relative to the causes, impacts and actions needed to address climate change. We specifically examine how
the traditional emphasis in communication on the environmental impacts of climate change fares emotionally in
comparison to an emphasis on the public health and national security dimensions of the issue – explicitly looking at
how members of various interpretive communities, defined as Global Warming’s Six Americas (Leiserowitz et al.
2010; Leiserowitz et al. 2009; Maibach et al., 2010), react to these messages. We report the results of a randomized,
controlled message experiment conducted in the context of a nationally representative online survey.
Horizons of Expectation: Genres of Communication and Genres of Texts in the Reception of Harry Potter, Ranjana
Das, University of Leicester, UK

Presented at the following event:

6540. Genre as an Analytical Tool in Contemporary Media Environments
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper, inspired by the Jauss-ian concept Horizon of expectations, explores how a single text is differentially
received across the different genres through which it is articulated. How do communicative offerings of different
genres shape engagement with the same text differently? What factors shape the horizon of expectations from which
audiences approach a text? Bringing together a trans-genre framework of ‘reception’ across reading (books), viewing
(films), listening (audio books), writing (fan fiction), participating/role playing (online communities), gaming (video
games) and creating (fan art/fan videos) – the paper presents findings from in-depth interviews with teen fans of the
Harry Potter series. The idea behind such an attempt is to understand the communicative differences in each such
mode of engagement, where the protagonists, narrative and plot of the text remain similar across genres, but audiences
engage with the text differently, these interactions often shaped by the communicative offerings of these different
genres/platforms.
Hospitality Lost? The Rise of the Anti-Immigrant Movement in Finnish Media Publicity, Karina Horsti, New York
University; Kaarina Nikunen, University of Helsinki

Presented at the following event:

6636. Media, Migration, and Nationalism
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper examines the role of the media in the rise of populism in Finland by asking how public debate can be
organised in such a way that the principle of hospitality (Silverstone 2006) is achieved. Theorisation of hospitality is
connected with the emergence of the transnational public sphere and its implications for the mainstream media in the
context of fragmented and individualised publicity. This is done by exploring mainstream media coverage of two
phenomena that were taking shape in the online blogosphere in Finland in 2008–2010: online anti-immigration
communities and online multicultural activist communities. The paper shows how the rise of the anti-immigrant
movement occurred within the networks of social media and was supported by the mainstream media. The Finnish
mainstream media, in its coverage of multicultural debate, failed to identify the transnational dimension of citizenship
and therefore did not achieve the ethics of hospitality.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This study applies the conversation analysis (CA) approach to analyze a phone-in radio program Open Line Open
View in Hong Kong. It mainly focuses on the host's power in the host-caller dialogue and the second host's function in
triadic interactions which has not been explored much in previous studies. There are three major findings. First, the
host dominated the conversation with citizen-callers and the host's power mediated the effect of an electronic
democratic forum of the phone-in radio programs. Second, the second host acted as a program conductor to manage
the flow of the conversation through taking seemingly minor but actual work. Third, the second host, as a
counterweight, balanced the conversation, either cooling dispute when the first host and the caller were poles apart, or
raising different argument when the other two speakers shared the same viewpoints.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This research studies the social environment of Hong Kong as a host culture, based on measures of perceived host
environment in the eyes of immigrants and ethnic minorities who are non native member of Hong Kong. From the
communicative perspective, the study focuses on two environmental factors as manifested in various common
communication activities in day-to-day social interaction. The factors are (a) host receptivity (including e.g.,
discrimination, acceptance, interest, expressed or implicit approach-avoidance attitudes, etc.); and (b) host conformity
pressure (including e.g., social expectations to adopt host behaviors, life style, etc). A stratified convenient sample of
195 was collected to include non dominant cultural groups of ethnic Indians, Pakistanis, Sikhs, and Indonesians, etc.
Perceived host environmental factors are examined along with reported satisfaction with life in Hong Kong to better
understand the role of host socio-environmental factors in cross-cultural adaptation. The findings are discussed in
terms of theoretical contribution and implications to related social policies.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The current study investigated whether negative content and tabloid packaging influence preferences for and cognitive
processing of television news among high and low educated viewers. An experiment was conducted with 44 first year
university students and 45 last year students at a school for vocational education. Results showed that young adults,
irrespective of their level of education, prefer news with a negative content over neutral content. In addition, it was
found that the highly educated participants had better audio and visual recognition for stories with negative content
than neutral content, while the low educated participants had better recognition for neutral content stories instead of
negative content stories. This suggests that negative content in television news stories may promote knowledge gaps
between high and low educated viewers.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Media do matter when it comes to sexuality. Little is known, however, about which sexual media portrayals are most
influential and why. Female portrayals are of particular interest because the sexual portrayals of female characters are
changing dramatically in entertainment media. The present study was thus proposed to explore how viewing different
sexual portrayals of a young adult female character may uniquely influence the sexual health of young adult female
viewers. Female participants were exposed to one of the four sexual portrayals where a female character experienced
positive or negative consequences. Viewers who viewed the negative consequences were more affected by portrayals
and perceived the main female character as more similar to them than did viewers who viewed the positive
consequences. Results indicate that a viewer’s involvement with a story’s characters may be more important to
consider when examining media effects than the individual scenarios in the portrayal.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Audiences today can easily select content that will agree with their political notions, and they have a tendency to do
so. This partisan selective exposure to media outlets has been held partly responsible for attitude polarization. Yet,
research has given less attention to the process causing these effects. This article aims to further develop selective
exposure theory by testing whether selective exposure effect on attitude polarization is a result of reinforcement
seeking and challenge avoidance. To this end, 440 participants were interviewed using a structured interview. As
suggested selective exposure fostered more extreme and more cohesive attitude. Reinforcement seeking, yet not
challenge avoidance, plays a crucial part in this process. Individuals who consume partisan media were more familiar
with reinforcing arguments and as a result, more polarized. These findings contribute to the ongoing discussion on the
implication of selective exposure and partisan media environment of democratic discourse.

5530. Message Features and Segmentation Strategies: Theorizing and Measuring Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

The purpose of this paper was to systematically review the meta-analytic record regarding media campaigns and
interventions involving the media, and conduct a meta-analysis of meta-analyses to compare the results of media
interventions against more traditional interpersonally-based interventions (e.g. counseling and small group
interventions). For adults, the greatest average effect sizes were for reduction of fat consumption, followed by seat
belt promotion, condom use, fruit and vegetable consumption, and oral health. Youth remain hard to affect in a
number of domains, including nutrition, alcohol, and smoking. The meta-meta analysis found that media campaigns or
other mediated interventions were better than interpersonal interventions without media in some domains, and that a
combined strategy was better in others. When selecting media to use in an intervention, it is important to consider the
match between the goals and needed content/messages, affordances of each medium, and the population’s
communication habits and preferences.

As international matchmaking websites enunciate where and how the global needs and supplies intermingle, narratives
and images of South Korean mass media intricately represent mainly foreign women by romanticizing with South
Korean men. This phenomenon provides present sites, where dominant ideologies and diverse discourses are
continuously reproduced and struggling on this social conversion. This research analyzes these dominant ideologies
on the current human circulation of globalization which is represented by mass media, and reproduced discourses
around the media content. Through that, it aims to shed light on how globalization works in local, especially related
on intersectionalities of gender and class.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Personal stories are often used in health news to put a “face” on a health issue. This research uses a sociology-of-news
approach, based on data collected from 42 in-depth interviews and the results of three surveys with health journalists
and editors [national (N = 774), state (N = 55), and purposive (N = 180)] to provide a first look at how important
journalists think exemplars are to their stories. Results show journalists use exemplars to attract, connect with, and
educate the audience. Exemplars that match the audience demographic characteristics are especially valuable.
Journalists select exemplars to help stories accomplish the functions of informing, inspiring, and/or sensationalizing a
health issue. Participants reported using certain strategies to locate exemplars, some of which posed ethical concerns.
Further, journalists ranked the use of exemplars lower in aiding audience understanding compared with the use of
experts, data and statistics, and definitions of technical terms.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Teaching and research in intercultural communication is highly interdisciplinary. The complexities of the subject
require an understanding not only toward the subject materials but also in delivering the materials. The question is
how can professors help best in students’ understanding toward the materials without leading them for additional
stereotype which can be possible if we simplify the topic of discussion? One possible solution is by integrating inside
and outside class assignment as well as lecture with the awareness of intercultural communication in classroom. Such
idea can support critical thinking but challenging to adopt due different background and identity that professors bring
to class.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Newsworkers’ commitment to reality depiction is paramount among their many vocational priorities. Nevertheless, the
feasibility of objective and absolutely impartial journalistic accounts is questioned by many scholars, whose critiques
seem to be bolstered by the precarious material and cultural situation of contemporary journalism. The present article,
which is based on a large international survey of journalists (N= 1800) from eighteen diverse national backgrounds,
distinct organizational circumstances, and varying levels of schooling and mileage on the job, attempts to trace the
circumstances which may give rise to newsworkers’ essential attitudes toward factual matters. The data indicate that
such cultural and institutional conditions as news organizations’ ownership patterns, existence of a democratic culture
and firm personal ideologies, are related to journalists’ takes on factual matters. These findings lend a measure of
support to the social construction of reality perspective, which is salient in journalism research, philosophy and
sociology.
How Latino Migration Flows and Latino Media Growth Influence Local Communities in the US, Matthew D.

Presented at the following event:

6333. Immigration and Media Usage: A Comparative Analysis Between Hispanophone and Lusophone Diasporas
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Migration flows from Central and South America continue to influence the demographic profile of the United States.
As Latinos become a larger proportion of the overall U.S. population, the future of Latino media appears brighter than
ever. In this paper, we examine how the interplay of these population and media growth trends influence local
communities, drawing on research conducted in urban, predominantly Latino neighborhoods in Southern California
and on data from focus groups with ethnic media producers. Our analysis suggests that these urban neighborhoods and
local media systems are growing more ethnically diverse and complex. Latino media serve multiple roles in the lives
of local residents. However, these ethnic media are often uninterested or unable to bridge divides between ethnic
groups in these communities, thereby reinforcing social fragmentation at the local level. We conclude by discussing
the implications of these findings for future research and policymaking.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Young people are making active use of the Internet in ways that may or may not contribute to civic engagement.
Because media literacy education includes attention to actively using, analyzing, composing and sharing media
messages, it may provide cognitive and social scaffolding to support the development of civic engagement. Survey
research with a sample of 400 American high school students was conducted to explore the relationship between
participation in a media literacy program, frequency of Internet use, information-gathering motivations, media literacy
competencies, and civic engagement. Our data analyses showed that participation in a media literacy program was
positively related to information-seeking motives, media knowledge, and news analysis skills. Moreover, information-
seeking motives, media knowledge, and news analysis skills independently contributed to intent toward civic
engagement.

This project is a case study of Phoenix Television, which is a Hong Kong-based satellite TV network broadcasting to
the global Chinese-speaking community, primarily to the mainland of China. In the theoretical framework of media
imperialism and neo-liberal imperialism, this study focuses on the programming strategies of Phoenix TV and
examines how the global trend of neo-liberalism, the Chinese government’s tight control of the media, and the
sophisticated ownership of Phoenix TV intertwined to influence on its programming. The analysis of the format,
content, naming, and scheduling reveals that that US-inspired neo-liberalism is expressed in the network’s
programming strategies. This expression, in fact, is the balance that Phoenix found between the tension between
global and Chinese interests, the tension between revenue making and public service, and the tension between Party-
control and profit seeking.

Edda Humprecht, U of Zürich

Presented at the following event:

6228. Follow Me: Twitter in the News-Making Process
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Twitter has become a major instrument for the rapid dissemination and subsequent debate of news stories. This paper
explores how professional news media adopt Twitter. It draws on the theoretical framework of the relation between
technology and journalism, as well as of the diffusion of innovations. A content analysis of Twitter accounts from 39
news outlets in five countries (France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the USA) shows that Twitter, overall, is
used intensively. Media from Great Britain seem to be the most frequent and sophisticated users. News outlets from
France use Twitter more often than expected and media from the USA less. Besides, elite media “twitter” more than
popular outlets. Surprisingly, the activity of the audience seems to only limitedly affect the professional news media’s
Twitter use. As additional explanations for these findings, the possible influences of the diffusion process’s temporal
dimension and the journalists’ audience perceptions are discussed.
How Reduced Narrative Processing Demands Impact Preschoolers’ Comprehension of Educational Television (Top
Paper), Jessica Taylor Piotrowski, U of Amsterdam

Presented at the following event:

7332. Children's and Parents' Responses to Educational Media
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The capacity model is designed to explain how children extract and comprehend educational content within an
educational television program. The model focuses on children’s allocation of their limited cognitive resources during
television viewing, with specific attention to the degree to which resources are allocated to comprehending the
narrative versus the educational content. The model predicts that, when narrative processing demands are reduced,
narrative comprehension should be improved. The model also posits that these reduced narrative demands should
translate to improved educational content comprehension because greater cognitive resources are available to process
the content. This prediction was tested with 172 preschoolers (102 females, Mean Age = 4.2 years). Story schema
skills were used to operationalize narrative processing demands. Results supported the predictions of the capacity
model. Advanced story schema supported narrative comprehension, and this reduction in narrative processing
demands translated to educational content comprehension. Implications for children’s television programs are
discussed.

Kleemans, Radboud University Nijmegen; Paul G. HendriksVettehen, Radboud U

Presented at the following event:

6528. Experimental Studies on the Effects of Sensational Storytelling
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study investigates the influence of negative content and tabloid packaging of news stories on perceived
journalistic performance of these stories, and the role of age in this relationship. An experiment with 288 participants
was conducted. First, it was found that perceived journalistic soundness may be conceptually separated from
perceived sensationalism. Second, including negative content features and a tabloid style of packaging increased the
perceived sensational character of news stories. Content also influenced the perceived journalistic soundness: negative
content stories were perceived as somewhat less journalistically sound than neutral content stories. However, blaming
arousing news stories for providing bad journalistic performance might be overdone. Regarding age, results showed
that young and middle-aged viewers are more critical regarding the journalistic performance of news and that they are
more sensitive to negative content and its effects than older viewers.
How Watchdog Reporting in US Newspapers is Changing During These Challenging Economic Times, Beth Knobel,
Fordham U

Presented at the following event:

6527. Critical Reporting and Watchdog Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper questions whether the worldwide economic crisis is forcing American newspapers to cut down on
accountability reporting, and more generally whether accountability and watchdog reporting is dying out, as
conventional wisdom suggests. A content analysis done on two American newspapers over a 20-year period suggests
that accountability reporting is not fading away, though it is facing substantial challenges. Papers may be shifting
away from true watchdog reporting and toward easier-to-produce enterprise reporting about government and public
policy instead. The study focused on one national paper, The New York Times, and one regional paper, The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study set out to fill in some of the gaps in understanding how organizations, in this case the world’s top 100
universities, use websites and for fostering identification with key stakeholders and managing their respective image
via the Internet. The findings show that International students, prospective students and the media were identified as
key stakeholders. Features intended for the media were offered by universities throughout the world.

6151. Gender and Individual Differences
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Research has shown that female leaders are treated differently than males, which is often explained by gender
stereotypes. We investigated the impact of gender stereotypes in two experimental studies using virtual agents for the
variation of a leader’s physical appearance and his/her nonverbal signals. While the first study (n=108) analyzed
whether the gender of a leader impacts his/her perception by an observer in the role of an employee, the second study
(n=81) included the meaning of nonverbal signals in relation to gender differences within a job interview for a
management position. We found fewer gender-related differences than expected. In the second experiment, nonverbal
behavior had a greater influence on the perception of leadership abilities than the leader’s gender.

Presented at the following event:

7452-19. Language and Social Interaction Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

China is the discursive space for an emerging global superpower and a controlling government party. Little is known
how communication as a generative process empowers 2.6 million NGOs to negotiate with a controlling party to build
civil communities. This project aims to analyze and contextualize various competing discourses to understand the
ongoing tensions in Chinese NGO community. This project asks: How do NGOs tailor Discourses into their
organizational discourses in order to build civil communities in China? This study is informed by the D/d discourse
lens given by Fairhurst (2007). A close reading of organizational documents and in-depth interviews are utilized to
address this question. Data consist of a close reading of over 200 pages of organizational documents and in-depth
interviews with 24 NGO practitioners from 10 leading NGOs in China.

Presented at the following event:

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Various research design and methods have been used to test theories, models and hypotheses in cross-cultural
communication and intercultural communication. Intercultural researchers usually use two types of research
methodologies; quantitative and qualitative research. Quantitative research uses statistics to get numerical indicators,
which ascertain the relative size of a particular communication phenomenon. First, quantitative methods in
intercultural research and its advantages and weaknesses will be overviewed. Although an experiment is one of the
most common and popular research methods in communication, it has been challenging to conduct an experiment in
cross-cultural and intercultural communication research. Challenges and issues related to an experimental design in
intercultural research will be addressed and further how to make a control group/comparison group(s), manipulate at
least one variable and use random assignment will be discussed relevant to intercultural communication research.
How to Test Spiral of Silence Theory: Bringing the Media Back In, Jorg Matthes, U of Vienna

Presented at the following event:

6121. Noelle-Neumanns Theory of Public Opinion in the Digital Age: New Directions in Theory and Methodology
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

How to test spiral of silence theory in appropriate ways has been a lively debate for decades. Noelle-Neumann (1991,
IJPOR, 13, 59-60) made a clear case that measuring people’s perceptions of the opinion climate is not sufficient to test
the theory. Instead, she called for content analysis data to assess the opinion climate. However, most studies have
neglected news media content when testing the theory. This paper reports about a two-wave panel survey that was
combined with a content analysis of media outlets (individual-level matching). Based on respondents’ prior attitude
reported at panel wave 1, it was coded whether respondents were exposed to information that was hostile or friendly
to their prior opinions. Beside this objective measure of opinion climate, people were asked about their subjective
majority perceptions. Results demonstrate that objective opinion climate but not subjective perceptions influenced
opinion expression. Methodological and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
Human Rights Discourse on Surrogacy, Race, and Human Trafficking, Diem-My Bui, U of Illinois - Chicago

Presented at the following event:

7533. Modernity, Citizenship and Difference: Media and the Negotiation of National/Transnational Identities
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

A baby breeding farm was raided by Thai authorities in February 2011 where it was discovered that over a dozen
Vietnamese women were held against their will by a “eugenics surrogate” company that produced babies for
Taiwanese customers. This paper examines the production of knowledge around human trafficking of Vietnamese
women and their wombs as it constructed within the dominant discourse of international human trafficking and
women’s rights. How does this discourse shape understandings about human trafficking, immigration, and national
subjects? How does the language on the commodification of women’s bodies make the Vietnamese women legible in
the normative discourse of human trafficking? Defined as a modern subject in a global civil society, the “nonwestern”
woman and her body are placed in an uneven relationship of power where the rescue narrative rationalizes first-world
intervention. Framed in the media as a human-rights violation, the added commodification of the babies of
Vietnamese women complicates this discourse bounded by racialized difference by eliding over the unquestioned
complicity of first-world commercialization of surrogacy.
Hyperreal Governance? Baudrillard’s Media Theory and Computer Games as Institutions of Political Socialization,
Anne-Katrin Arnold, U of Pennsylvania

Presented at the following event:

7136. Surveillance, Power, and Resistance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Video games are a form of political reality in their own right, and playing them is a political activity. In this paper, I
apply Baudrillard’s theory of simulacrum and simulation to virtual realities, specifically to video games. I argue that
new (entertainment) technologies change the nature of political processes, their complexity, and, most of all, their
proximity to citizens’ everyday lives. They do so because they are simulacra of the political world: There are parallels
between playing a game and governance; games address political issues and values; and they strongly reference
political, economic, and social power structures. I propose to understand engagement with video games as engagement
in “hyperreal politics,” or, using Baudrillard’s terms, “politics in vitro.”

felt pleasantness, unpleasantness and arousal. Specific affective feelings and attitude toward the ads was also
measured.
I Know I Am But What Are You? Creating and Policing Lesbian Communities on Facebook, Laura Stempel, U of

Presented at the following event:

5350. Variant Voices: New Media Technology, Political Life, and Making Queer Communities
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Media and political attention to gay male culture has always dwarfed the existence of lesbian community in public
imagination, obscuring contestation over communities as a notion. Its meaning and membership once played out in
obscure places like coffeehouses and music festivals but has now migrated to semi-public online sites, where
contributors struggle to define the most fundamental terms. Social networks offer new opportunities to see the
communities in formation and social interaction as users self-identify as community members and/or allies. Two
contrasting Facebook discussions—one about race and exclusionary practices at the Michigan Womyn’s Music
Festival, the other in response to the accidental death of a well-known Chicago activist—illustrate how users create
and police community borders through the instant creation and reiteration of community along with a far more intense,
arguably less thoughtful version of long-standing arguments.
I'm So Much Cooler Online: An Examination of Self-Presentation in Facebook Profiles, Catalina Laura Toma, U of
Wisconsin - Madison; Cassandra Lee Carlson, U of Wisconsin - Madison

Presented at the following event:

6623. Self Presentation in Social Network Sites
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Facebook enables users to create unique self-presentations that include a multitude of self-descriptors, are performed
in front of an audience of friends, and accrue over time. Drawing on the Hyperpersonal model, warranting theory and
self-presentation theory, this study investigated three critical dimensions of Facebook self-presentation: positivity,
accuracy, and breadth. Self-presentation was operationalized as profile owners’ assessment of their own self-
presentational outcomes (i.e., meta-perception) on 18 personality dimensions. Results show that Facebook profiles are
sophisticated self-presentational acts, that are positive, comprehensive and largely veridical. Self-presenters
strategically self-enhanced on certain personality traits, while they self-diminished on others. Trait self-esteem and
social anxiety played a role in perceived self-presentational outcomes. Results have implications for self-presentation
theories and for the burgeoning literature on Facebook effects.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The article aims at the centre of the discipline. It portrays the most successful scholars in communication – the ICA
Fellows. Who are the people that rule the field and what are the principles that guide their work? The study is based
on 57 personal interviews as well as on Bourdieu’s sociology. The field’s power pole is occupied by social climbers:
first-generation college kids that were brought up with certain values (hard work, conduct in public) and had both an
affinity for the natural sciences and the wish to make a difference. Despite the scientific authority that came along
with quantitative methods and psychological approaches, communication’s future is not certain at all. There is little
presence at top universities, the roots in practical training have not been forgotten to this day, and the pressure
towards external funding will hurt all the research areas that have no clear avenue towards grants.

Presented at the following event:

6154. Motive and Intent for Technology Use
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Statistical analyses of data from an online survey of 1157 mommy bloggers tested the efficacy of a theoretical model
depicting the U. S. mommy blogosphere. The results provide evidence linking blogger identity to blog content,
bloggers’ interactions as well as their sense of community. In turn, bloggers’ sense of community was associated with
their blogging interactions and bloggers’ identity, but not with bloggers’ content. Thus, these data indicate that
bloggers’ identity and interactions drive the formation and maintenance of blogger communities rather than their
content.
Iconic Self-Immolation: The Case of Mohammed Bouazizi, Jason L Jarvis, Georgia State U

Presented at the following event:

6237. Extended Session: Young Scholars Research Workshop
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Self-immolation is a cross-cultural phenomenon that serves as a rhetorical interruption capable of toppling

governments and igniting social movements. However, some self-immolations fail to capture public imagination and
lead to no social change. Socially significant self-immolation responds to a situation of oppression, founds
community locally and trans-nationally, results in contestation and debate and is marked by the creation of symbolic
artifacts that reflect these meanings. The death of Tunisian Mohamed Bouazizi is explored to illustrate these
constructs.

8129. The Use of Narrative in Health Communication: Empirical Explorations of Mediators, Moderators, and Effects
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Entertainment-education (EE) interventions are frequently viewed in combination with more explicit persuasive
appeals, such as an epilogue or PSA. Learning how these more explicit appeals may moderate narrative influence is
critical for our understanding of EE effects. Explicit appeals may help to overcome some limitations of more implicit
narrative appeals by highlighting and clarifying the underlying persuasive message. Alternatively, an explicit
persuasive appeal may undermine the subtle nature of narrative influence, leading to boomerang effects. This study
will experimentally test these two possible outcomes. We examine a medical drama that highlights the need for organ
donors. The potential moderating role of a main character’s appeal to viewers to become organ donors is tested in a 2
(organ donation episode; control episode) x 2 (explicit appeal; no explicit appeal) between subjects design. Results
will be interpreted in terms of extant theory on narrative persuasion.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Over twenty years ago, Kearney, Plax, Hays, and Ivey (1991) identified teacher favoritism as a misbehavior. Although
research has continued to validate Kearney et al.’s typology of teacher misbehaviors, teacher favoritism has yet to be
explored by communication researchers. The purpose of this paper is to determine which behaviors students perceive
to reveal which students in class are the teachers’ favorites. After surveying students, we collected and analyzed 115
open ended responses to reveal the teacher favoritism behaviors most frequently identified by students. These
behaviors were then content analyzed and categorized into eight types of instructor favoritism behavior types.
If You Are the One: Hybrid Governmentality in a Chinese Matchmaking Reality TV Show, Hua Su, U of Iowa

Presented at the following event:

8140. National Media, Transnational Media, and Their Citizen-Subjects
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

While the relationship between reality television and governmentality is well explicated in the context of advanced
neoliberal states, few studies have examined Chinese reality television shows in relation to its governmentality. This
inadequacy of scholarship impedes our understanding of how reality television as a television genre responds to
different modes of governmentality and how subjectivities are shaped by hybrid governing rationalities in countries
such as China. To shed light on these issues, this study examines If You Are the One (非诚勿扰), a popular Chinese
matchmaking show, as a site where different governing rationalities and technologies contradict and negotiate with
each other in shaping the ideal citizen subjects for China’s socialist market economy. The paper argues that the
matchmaking show fashions marriage prospects as ideal players in market economy but the training of the
entrepreneurial players is set within the contour of China’s socialist morality.

Chow, Chinese Univeristy Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

7536. Images, Economies, and Technologies
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Drawing upon Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital, this paper develops image as a form of Bourdieusean form of
capital as an apparatus to examine what Lash and Urry identify as the economies of signs and space, which in turn is
characterized by the dual process of semioticization and spatilization. By image capital, it refers to the accumulated
labor of visual resources that allows agents possessing it to yield power. I argue that the apparatus of image capital
does not only help differentiate the power generated by images from the power of linguistic signs in the age of
mediation and explain the convertibility of image to economic capital. The fact that Bourdieusean capital has to be
understood in relation to field theory also provides us a good framework to examine both the possibilities and
struggles brought about by the ascending role of particular form of resource.

7452-14. Instructional and Developmental Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The United States needs more people to be working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM)
to maintain its leading role in the global economy. Using the framework of entertainment-education, a festival with a
game-based activity was designed to help engage American youth, stimulate their career interests, and raise their
awareness of individual potential in those fields. A total of 203 participants between the age of 7 and 17 completed
both pretest and posttest surveys. In addition, 86 participants submitted self-reflections on what they enjoyed and
learned at the event. Results suggested that participants found the experience to be fun and educational. Their interests
in STEAM careers increased and their self-efficacy was boosted. They related to the RIT students as role models. The
event helped them make the connection between subjects taught in school and careers you knew before as well as
brand new career paths.

of the Witwatersrand

Presented at the following event:

6233. Nations and Narrations
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper argues that new media have made it easy to imagine ethnicity and national identity especially for people
from oppressive regimes like Zimbabwe. The rise of the diaspora and effects of globalisation have positively
influenced the discursive imaginations of people’s ethnic identities. This has been due to the rise and expansion of
alternative digital spheres that are without the repressive government control mechanisms. This rise is prevalent in
Zimbabwe where ethnic debates and the discursive constructions of national identity have been stifled by the former
ruling party and now member of the tripartite of ruling parties, Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front
(Zanu-Pf), in preference of nationalist constructed identities. This paper analyses stories and reader comments from a
website, newzimbabwe.com. The paper is significant as it shows the role of media in identity construction.
Theoretically, the paper is anchored on the digital public sphere and primordial and constructionist theories.

7521. Interactive Media Uses and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The concept of “television,” as Lynn Spigel pointed out in 2004, has changed to encompass viewing, using and
sharing content on multiple screens. Alterations in media industry approaches to cross-platform content and entirely
new opportunities for people to themselves generate content have joined with highly tailorable and mobile platforms
to upset the norms of television viewing characteristic of the 1990s. Based on a binational survey of college-age
students, our research investigates the role of Internet-based content or application sources, alongside various user-
owned technologies (e.g., mobile devices and laptop computers), in order to map the new dynamics of entertainment
media, attending specifically to how viewers/users engage with “television” or visual entertainment, particularly with
respect to the role of user generated content. This research has implications for how content industries will respond to
the new preferences of people for “on-demand” media.

Presented at the following event:

5124. Health & Technology
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Health information seeking (HIS) and emotional support seeking (ESS) for medical conditions are widespread, self-
guided online activities that happen concurrently on social health websites. Appraisal and coping theory suggests that
these activities may be caused by negative emotions that users experience. In this paper, we examine three key
negative emotions—fear, anxiety, and shame—for their potential impact on HIS and ESS. Through an online survey
of 518 people, we found that only anxiety positively predicted HIS. In contrast, fear and anxiety both positively
predicted ESS, while shame negatively predicted ESS. These findings result in important implications for social
health websites. For example, our results suggest that people experiencing fear require immediate emotional relief
through solace, and they may benefit more from receiving emotionally supportive comments rather than information
about the medical condition.

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Censorship of violent digital games especially First Person Shooter Games (FPS) is broadly discussed between
generations. While older people are concerned about possible negative influences of these games; not only players but
non-players of the younger net-generation seem to deny any association with real aggressive behaviour. Our study is
aims at investigating defense mechanisms players and non-player use to protect FPS and peers with playing habits. By
using a lexical decision task we found that aggressive concepts are activated by priming the content of FPS but
suppressed afterwards. Only if participants were instructed to actively suppress aggressive concepts after priming,
thought suppression was no longer necessary. Young people still do have negative associations with violent video
games. These associations are neglected by implicitly applying defense strategies - independent of own playing habits
- in order to protect this specific hobby which is common for the net-generation.

The present study reports a Brunswick lens model analysis of Facebook profiles. Facebook profiles (N = 100) were
content analyzed for the presence and rate of 55 self-generated, other-generated, and system-generated cues.
Observers who were strangers to the profile owners (N = 35) estimated five profile owner personality traits. Results
indicate that observers could accurately estimate Facebook profile owners’ agreeableness, extroversion, and
conscientiousness. Several unique profile cues were linked to both user personality and observer estimations of
personality for all five personality traits. These diagnostic cues are discussed in relation to online impression
formation and judgments of personality.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Regime change through popular uprising may be seen as a triumph of democracy in the short run, but does it always
lead to political and social transformation? This study examined press freedom as a democracy indicator in Georgia
and Kyrgyzstan six months before and after the “color revolutions” in these countries. A content analysis of 614
political news articles revealed that limited changes occurred in Kyrgyzstan’s press freedom, while no statistically
significant changes were observed in Georgia. The findings were then compared with external press freedom ratings
for both countries. The results suggest that “color revolutions” have not led to immediate structural changes and may
be “revolutions” in name only.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

What are the consequences of speaking in praise of deliberation? This essay offers a reading of two influential
responses to the Tucson, Arizona shooting—President Obama’s speech at the Tucson Memorial and Sarah Palin’s
YouTube video—to argue that the way in which the speeches create a dichotomy between language and violence can
have damaging effects. This view of language figures deliberation as liberating and violence as debasing and
containing a clearly identifiable actor who delivers immediate, bodily harm. This view prevents discussion of what
Slavoj Zizek calls the underlying, “structural violence” of a system, instead focusing the attention only on the
subjective image of a “lone gunman” bursting into the scene. This paper concludes by offering ways to address some
of the deep, structural problems of the Tucson shooting: mental health policy and stigma towards the mentally ill.
In Search of Culturally Relevant Paradigms in Intercultural Communication Studies, Paul S. N. Lee, Chinese U of
Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

It is proposed to have an extended session to discuss the search for research paradigms relevant to specific cultural
contexts in the study of intercultural communication. While some general principles and theories could be discovered
by the dominant scientific paradigm based on positivism, students in intercultural communication research always find
the concepts and theoretical frameworks developed from the Western intellectual tradition inapplicable to non-
Western cultural contexts. The problem of inapplicability or inadequacy of Western constructs or theories in non-
Western cultures cannot be solved simply by questioning the validity of the constructs and theories; a search for basic
constructs governing the everyday life of people in non-Western cultures is called for. This search will go deep into
the ontological assumptions of human relations, nature of society, and the relationship between human and nature in
different cultures.

Romantic Relationships, Katlyn Elise Roggensack, U of California - Santa Barbara; Alan L. Sillars, U of Montana

5351. Disclosures and Deception
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This research investigated agreement and understanding about perceived rules for honesty/deception in romantic
relationships. Couples often hold strong, idealized expectations about honesty; yet, these expectations are vulnerable
to different interpretations in practice due to the ambiguous nature of deception and situational pressures to balance
openness with discretion. The current study identified typical honesty/deception rules from exploratory interviews;
then assessed agreement and understanding about these rules in a sample of 73 couples. Couples perceived greater
agreement on rules than they actually agreed and showed negligible understanding of the other’s expectations beyond
that attributable to projection (attributing similar beliefs to the partner) and stereotyping (attributing sex-stereotypic
beliefs to the partner). The research distinguished obligatory rules, which prescribe disclosure or proscribe deception,
and discretionary rules, which grant situational flexibility to withhold information or engage in minor deception.
Overall, couples had greater agreement on obligatory rules, although females endorsed these rules somewhat more
than males. Disagreement on obligatory rules was associated with greater relationship conflict.
Inadvertent Audience for Democracy: Corruption in the Television Serial <i>The Good Wife</i>, Rita Maria

Presented at the following event:

5334. Entertainment, Soft News, and Politics
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Against a background of corruption as one of the most dangerous threats to democracy and of entertainment’s
democratic role, this paper focus on corruption in the television serial The Good Wife. I argue that TGW has the
potential for reducing citizen’s growing inequality of information by being a privileged place for forming inadvertent
audiences for public issues, and therefore fulfilling a vital democratic role, mainly for two reasons: (1) Contrary to the
news media narratives – whether market-driven conflict-news and ‘news lite’ poor-information style or rational and
abstract, difficult-to-follow hard-news style – by staging an explicit presentation of corruption, TGW gives visibility
to processes and complex operating logics built on secrecy and subterranean movements, which are otherwise difficult
to grasp; (2) Contrary to the growing tendency for news selection helped by technology, by combining a mixture of
serial and episodic forms corruption is intertwined with other narratives along the episodes, which makes it difficult to
avoid the topic.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

The success of the transition from analogical terrestrial television to digital terrestrial television – process also known
as switch-over – requires the identification of barriers and drivers among the impacted population. Therefore, the
study in which this article is based had as main purpose to understand exactly what are those barriers, in order to
produce a valid contribution to the several decision makers, and to be able to contribute to a more inclusive television,
accessible and transversal to the whole of the population. In that sense, one of the phases of the project consisted in
several interviews to key stakeholders in the transition process, the results of which and subsequent recommendations
are presented in this article.
Incidental Exposure on the Internet: The Past 10 Years, Nicholas Aaron Merola, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

6634. High Density Session: Dynamics of Political Knowledge
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Incidental exposure occurs when political information is encountered while a person is performing a task unrelated to
political knowledge seeking. This exposure can result in knowledge gains, and occurs commonly on the internet. This
study investigates how incidental exposure on the internet changed over time using the ANES Timer Series dataset.
Findings indicate that, between 1996 and 2008, the relationship between internet use and knowledge gain became
significantly stronger, controlling for other variables relevant to political knowledge gain through the internet. Results
are discussed in light of historical events, such as the rise of social networking and user-tailored content.

6523. News Media Use
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

With an abundance of online news provided by a myriad of sources on the Internet, the likelihood of incidental
exposure to online news (IEON) has increased. The Pew Internet & American Life Project 2010 reported that
Americans get news based on serendipitous discovery. Although research has indicated the emergence of incidental
exposure to news, there is a lack of systematic research about this emerging type of news consumption. Applying the
Information Encountering model from the field of information science, the present study aimed to explore association
of the IEON using various demographic, device usage, online activities, topic of news and the number of media
sources variables with a large sample of rural and small-town citizens in Missouri. The sample for this study included
727 participants who reported that they have used the Internet. Findings of this study suggest that younger people with
higher income have more tendencies to experience IEON on their desktops or laptops. These people encounter news
during their general online activities, such as browsing the Internet for leisure, searching for information on a certain
topic, shopping online and watching online videos. Individuals with fewer devices experienced IEON frequently.
There is no significant relationship between IEON and education. Only the number of TV news sources individuals
watch is positively associated with IEON. All other legacy and online news sources do not show significant impact on
IEON. The present study makes a theoretical contribution to studies on online news consumption and information
encountering applying the concept in online news reading context.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Citizens may be able to learn about politics without intentionally seeking political information. Known as incidental
learning, it is a key component of a number of scholarly theories related to media exposure. Yet the empirical
evidence that incidental learning occurs leaves room for alternative explanations. The presence of this process could
be beneficial for learning among uninterested citizens, particularly when applied to the local news environment. This
paper uses an experiment to examine the incidental learning hypothesis. The experiment incorporates choice into the
design thereby simulating incidental exposure in a high choice media environment. Results show that incidental
exposure did not result in significant knowledge gains, but instead motivated people to find another channel when
confronted with unintentional news exposure. The results hold important implications for media choice and the future
health of local news coverage.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Combining the theories of Diffusion of Innovations Theory and Consumer Theory, this paper constructed a three
dimensional s-shape curve framework for explaining different ICT diffusion patterns of different income level
countries. This framework shows how the s-shape curve changes when the average purchase power of a nation
increases. Hence, it explains the digital divide between different nations due to the economic gaps. The hypotheses
based on this framework are proposed and justified by the cross-national empirical studies.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper is an initial attempt at understanding how social networking sites are perceived and used by Indian
activists. Through a web-based survey emailed to Indian activists in September 2010, this exploratory study sheds
light on how activists in India use social networking sites and other digital resources to reach out to not only those
who are already active participants in social, political or judicial movements but also those who might not be as
involved. Respondents were asked to complete an online survey and preliminary findings reveal that Indian activists
perceive social networking sites as useful tools for mobilizing people, and informing themselves and others of social
movements, however they do not think it is useful for communicating with journalists or putting pressure on political
elites.

The study (N = 240) utilizes two experiments using a 2 (participant race: White vs. American Indian/African
American) x 2 (source race: White vs. American Indian/African American) x 3 (message repetition) mixed factorial
design to investigate the effectiveness of tailoring health messages related to alcohol use and abuse. The study
measures the cognitive and emotional responses to tailored health messages, including cognitive resource allocation,
accuracy of memory outcomes, attitudes toward health messages, and behavioral intentions. In addition, the study
investigates the moderation effect of psychological individual difference variables (motivational reactivity, implicit
stereotyping, implicit attitudes toward alcohol) on the relationship between race-congruency and cognitive and
emotional responses.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Dozens of studies over the past 20 years have documented the presence of an “exemplar effect,” which refers to the
influence of case studies in news reports on audience assessments of the issues addressed in those reports. Research
suggests that audience members tend to discount the presence of statistical information and instead attend to,
remember, and make subsequent judgments based on exemplars. This presentation will report the findings of a series
of studies designed to determine what role, if any, an individual’s level of arithmetic ability plays in whether he or she
falls prey to the “exemplar effect.” Results will have implications for news personnel and educators who want to
determine how best to prepare news stories for audiences of differing levels of quantitative skill.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The investigation at hand describes the role of the trait need to belong in the use of social networking services. People
vary in their individual need for positive and frequent social contact, a social preference captured by the need to
belong. 286 German undergraduate students took part in a questionnaire study gathering comprehensive social
network use data, motives for the use social network sites, need to belong, and demographics. The data suggests that
motives and use specifics are significantly influenced by the participants need to belong. The individual need to
belong predicts the prevalence of social contact as primary use motive. Furthermore, it affects the specific preference
for communication features used on social networks, coined towards intimate interaction or interaction with closer
friends as compared to interaction that has value beyond the closest friends.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Past research on temporality has differentiated between polychronic and monochronic national cultures, yet this
research has been consistently challenged. One of the main issues in this body of research is the limitation of only
comparing two different types of temporal values in a given study. The current study combines three different types
of polychronic values—individual, organizational, and national culture—into a single study. The major findings
suggest that despite claims that Western cultural and temporal values could have influenced Asian countries like
Korea, national culture still plays a key role in how people interpret personal outcomes of work. The findings
concerning stressfulness and job satisfaction support traditional claims that the US is a monochronic culture, while
Korea is more polychronic. The findings also reveal a unique Korean perspective on how work/life boundary blurring
might be an expected norm in contemporary Korean organizational culture.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study examined the cultural values promoted in television advertisements targeting younger and older audiences
in China and the U.S., respectively, testing the hypothesis that ads in China would reflect a value shift caused by the
open door policy implemented in 1979. A content analysis of 566 television ads was conducted, rating the degree of
individualism and collectivism, as well as the prominence of modernity and traditional themes. As predicted, ads
targeting younger Chinese scored higher in individualism than collectivism. Compared to ads targeting the older
demographic, ads targeting younger Chinese scored higher in individualism, with no significant differences in the
other three dimensions. As expected, mean scores for individualism and modernity were higher in the American ads,
while mean scores for collectivism and tradition were lower. The results revealed no differences between younger and
older audiences in the U.S.

The present study investigated whether providing information labels in a mass media setting can counteract media-
induced negative body perceptions in adolescent girls. Guided by counter-advertising and reactance theories,
hypotheses were tested in a 3 (information labels: content vs. warning vs. no-label) x 2 (media models’ body shape:
extremely thin vs. normal weight) experimental design (N = 177). Self-esteem (high, low) was included as a
moderating variable while body dissatisfaction, objectified body consciousness, and body comparison with media
models served as dependent variables. Pre-tested media models were systematically combined with various
information labels and presented as cover page of a fancy magazine. Results showed that a simple content label
properly informing about a media model’s actual body shape counteracted negative body perceptions in adolescent
girls. Especially girls low in self-esteem then showed lower levels of body dissatisfaction, body awareness, and body
shame. Warning labels appeared hardly effective in this respect.

Facebook has become popular in recent years; however, little is still known about the impacts of this technology on
interpersonal relationships. Recent popular press articles have called attention to a possible connection between
Facebook and jealousy. To date, only one empirical study has been conducted to assess this relationship (Muise,
Christofides, & Desmarais, 2009). This study sought to extend the research on Facebook and interpersonal
relationships. A total of 196 individuals completed an online questionnaire that measured the amount of time spent on
Facebook, Facebook jealousy, and the communicative responses that follow Facebook jealousy in a romantic
relationship. Results indicated relationships among the variables of amount of time spent on Facebook and Facebook
jealousy, time on Facebook and the response of negative affect expression, and among Facebook jealousy and the
various types of communicative responses.

Many studies have shown that investors’ decision making is far from rational. Investors place too much emphasis on
prior performance in their mutual fund evaluations. This may be due to a lack of motivation and/or ability for a more
effortful systematic processing of mutual fund characteristics. To test for this assumption, 156 investors were
recruited for an online-experiment in which ability for information processing was manipulated by varying stimulus
exposure time to a mutual fund ad. In accordance with dual-process theories in social psychology, ability for
information processing moderated the judgmental impact of past performance as a heuristic cue on attitude formation.
When ability for information processing was low, past performance served as a heuristic cue in attitude formation.
When ability for information processing was high, past performance was attenuated.

Adherence to postoperative breast cancer surveillance is low among women with a known history of breast cancer.
This study investigates whether breast cancer survivors’ active seeking of cancer related information from various
medical and nonmedical sources influences their subsequent adherence to guideline-based breast cancer surveillance.
We included those who were eligible for surveillance and who participated in both the baseline and one-year follow-
up surveys. The outcome was self-reported adherence to physical examination, mammography, and breast self-
examinations according to recommended guidelines at one-year follow-up. Controlling for potential confounders,
higher levels of seeking about treatment, quality of life, and cancer-related information from nonmedical sources (i.e.,
lay interpersonal and media sources) at baseline predicted increased odds of breast cancer patients' reporting
adherence to recommended surveillance one year later (OR=1.49, 95% CI = 1.02 to 2.17, p=.038). This has important
implications for informing efforts to encourage higher levels of breast cancer surveillance among survivors.

Due to China’s political and economic systems, the government at all levels is an important stakeholder for
corporations there. Government affairs managers strive at collecting and analyzing information on upcoming
government initiatives and policies that link to organizations’ strategic decision making. This study examines how
Chinese government officials prioritize sources for government information and evaluate information quality gathered
from each source in China’s political and cultural context. 82 Chinese government officials participated in the survey
online and by mail. TV, government officials/party members, newspapers, and government web sites were the most
important information sources. Information quality from each source was perceived differently in six aspects:
trustworthiness, timeliness, usefulness, accessibility, conformability, and cultural sensitivity. Government officials’
title, media use, and media trust had effect on their evaluation of information source and quality. Implications were
provided to government affairs mangers in China by triangulating previous findings from the corporate manager’s
perspective.

This study is a secondary analysis of survey data of primary and secondary school students (N = 2,865) in Hong Kong.
Guided by Social Cognitive Theory, path models of social learning about persons with a disability (PWDs) were
tested connecting exposure to information from different sources and contents of information with perceptions of,
attitude, and behavior inclination toward PWDs. The best-fit model showed contents as better predictors of
perceptions and attitudes than exposure to information from either media channels or interpersonal sources. Exposure
to interpersonal sources was better predictor than that to media channels. The effects of content and exposure were
also mediated by perceptions of PWD capabilities, of PWD inner state, and general attitude toward PWD.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become a focal development strategy in many countries in
the South. Focusing on Ghana’s universal access (UA) policy, this study conducted case studies of three different
Community Information Centers (CICs). The study used mixed methods in the form of document analysis, survey, in-
depth interview and participant observation to interrogate gender in ICT policy and practice in Ghana. The study
revealed gendered differences in terms of access, use and impacts in relation to the CICs. The findings suggest that
access to ICTs needs to be conceptualized more broadly, as the mere presence of ICTs do not necessarily translate into
empowerment and active engagement in the global information economy. ICTs have to be closely linked to
livelihoods and must address basic needs in order to engender use. This study presents gendered narratives that
emerge from women’s engagement with ICT4D projects in rural and urban communities in Ghana.

The benefits of participating in computer-mediated social support (CMSS) groups have been well addressed for breast
cancer patients. This study will specify what types of informational and emotional messages are expressed in a CMSS
group, explain how patterns of expression vary across individuals, and investigate which attributes are related to
different expression patterns. This study adopted a multi-step analytic method that combines a computer-aided content
analysis, cluster analysis and logistic regression analysis. The content analysis generated four subcategories of
emotional support expression and eight subcategories of informational expression. Using these categories, cluster
analysis determined that there are three distinctive expression patterns: preference for low levels of both informational
and emotional expression, preference for high levels of both expression, and preference for only high levels of
informational expression. Finally, logistic regression analyses explained that the age, income, and time of entry into
the group are significant predictors of expression patterns.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The following study investigated the phenomenon and growing cultural admiration of “innovation” and specifically
focused on collectives working to attempt to harness innovation in the creation of an innovation incubator
organization. In so doing, it asks the research question: How do employees’ communicatively constitute—for
themselves and others—a (contained) experience of an “innovation incubator organization” through their work to
perform and organize a culture and structure for innovation? In order to explore this research question, the paper
begins joining scholarly conversations with research on communicative constitution of organizing (CCO), organizing
as dramaturgy, and emotional and performance labor. In using ethnographic methods of interviewing and participant
observation, this study explores how employees of an innovation incubator known as the World Entrepreneurial
Organization (WEO) understood, performed, and struggled with how to market innovation and how to contain and
create an experience of innovation. The paper provides rich exemplars of staff and manager’s work to organize and
perform innovation, and in so doing, it reveals how employees’ emotions, bodywork, spatial performances, and
adherence to rigid rules fueled and attempted to sustain a larger mood of innovation at WEO through a process I
termed "mood manufacture."

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Abstract This transnational discourse analysis examines the relatively recent visibility of transmen on the web. The
sites selected represent two types of web presence: resource web pages sponsored by organizations or individuals and
individual transition blogs. Several North American and European sites were visited repeatedly over a one-year period
to document transmale discourse on the Web and to examine the cultural identity constructions embedded. The
analysis points to the emergence of two meta-discourses: a global transmale youth discourse and a traditional
transman discourse. A key aspect of contemporary transman identity, the inability to avoid locating oneself in
multiple, sometimes contradictory discourses, overshadows multiple webbed discourses. Key themes identified could
be considered active discursive strategies designed to counteract erasure. Rather than constructing trans identities,
these sites can be said to inscribe transpeople’s lives in durable and conspicuous ways.

Journalism
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In the past thirty years the Italian mediascape has witnessed an unprecedented concentration of power in the hands of
a small number of actors. This has resulted in a clearly oligopolistic system that has stifled alternative voices and
limited the contribution of activists in mainstream media. To address this status quo, in the early 2000s a group of
media activists created Telestreet, a network of (unlicensed) neighborhood television stations aimed at expanding
citizens’ access to information by using simple technology for viewers to engage in the production and consumption
of tv programs. The network, which started in the Northern city of Bologna, soon spread to the entire territory
reaching a peak of over 150 micro-stations in the mid-2000s. While the various Italian street tv channels differed in
their goals and scopes (from the environment, labor issues, immigration, disability services to religion), they all shared
a similar concern about the lack of civic engagement of legacy media and the potential of new technologies to foster
more democratized communication strategies. One of the most successful and long-lived examples of street television
in Italy was the Neapolitan Insu^tv, which was on air for eight years (2002-2010). The creation of Insu^tv was a
response to the dissatisfaction with the lack of representation of local issues in national media and the stereotypical
portrayal of the Italian South as regressive and indolent. In this respect, two major contributions of Insu^tv have been
their programs on immigration to Naples, whereby the underprivileged and powerless migrants are allowed to speak
using their own linguistic and ideological codes, and their reporting on the garbage crisis in the streets of Naples,
which has yielded a feature-length documentary on the connections between the government, the eco-mafia, and the
struggles against the devastation of the region. In 2010, the founders of Insu^tv decided to end their regular
broadcasting following the switch to digital television that was completed in Italy by the end of 2009. The new digital
media system has thus offered both opportunities for and obstacles to activist and alternative media: on the one hand,
the new format allows for more channels and potentially more diversity; on the other hand, though, the first few years
of digital television have revealed an unchanged pattern of oligopolistic control where the same players (RAI,
Mediaset, and Sky, in particular) now have a larger (and growing) number of channels. In this framework, the
founders of Insu^tv have recently begun a campaign to fund the launching of an activist, community-based digital
channel with the aim to subvert the commercialized logic of larger media groups. The rationale behind this new
initiative, aptly called “Assalto al cielo” (lit.: ‘attack on the sky’), is explained as follows: “the crisis of
representational democracy and the monopoly over mainstream communication and cultural associations must be
addressed by creating independent communication tools and reclaiming an active and activist role in media flows.”
(http://www.assaltoalcielo.net/) While this proposal focuses on a specifically contextualized aspect of Italian media, it
will nonetheless unveil larger trends of media activism and alternative journalism in societies, which, like Italy, are
characterized by highly concentrated media markets and commercialized information streams.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study systematically explores the complex relationship between intelligence services and the media in liberal
democracies. Intelligence services include the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) in the US, the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) and the Security Service in the United Kingdom, or
in Israel the Mossad and the Israeli Security Agency. Despite the growing importance of the media-intelligence
relationship very little research has been conducted on this topic. This work attempts to fill the theoretical and
methodological void. It offers a new experimental framework for analysis based on strategic communication as seen
from the perspective of intelligence services. The framework is based on integration of theories, models and
approaches from several disciplines including national security and intelligence, political communication, journalism
and public relations (PR). The work proposes a comprehensive analytical approach to the media-intelligence
relationship via two basic clusters: challenges versus responses. The challenge cluster includes variables such as the
media environment and media functions and organizational communication culture. The response cluster includes the
approach of the organization's director and the organization itself to the media, PR capabilities, strategic
communication contingency planning and image development and restoration. The two clusters are applied to crisis
and non-crisis situations.

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This article focuses on the concept of labor in co-creation, arguing that its definition needs to be expanded to include a
qualitative process of intensity. Intensity foregrounds the ways in which participation can limit the capacity for self-
care. Using game modification as a case study, the article highlights the automated and computerized systems of
evaluation embedded into webpages and analyzes how these technologies can create grounds for a self-understanding
of productive abilities. Maneuvering through the three registers of industry, websites and its participants, it examines
the discourses of evaluative systems and details how participants use these technologies to self-manage and calibrate
their labor. Interviews showed that the increasingly competitive drive for optimal standards of production comes at a
cost to the well-being of participants. Studies of labour, therefore, need to consider the ‘intense’ aspect of
participatory production, and the impact it may have on its participants.

8250. Media Multitasking: Competing Capacities
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

An increasingly common form of visual complexity in media content is the mosaic screen, which presents multiple
streams of full-motion video simultaneously. This study explores one iteration of visual complexity in the form of a
novel sports broadcast that presented six video elements simultaneously. Using secondary task response time and
signal detection, this experiment investigates viewer attention to and memory for content high in visual complexity
compared to identical content lower in complexity. Initial findings indicate that resources dedicated to message
encoding are dependent upon both the complexity of the message as well as its exciting or dull nature.
Interaction and Reconnection With Culture Through Discourse of (Foreign) Films, Julia Khrebtan-Hoerhager, U of
Denver

Presented at the following event:

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

It is quite challenging for study abroad students to first adjust to a foreign culture of their interest, and then again, to
re-adjust to their home culture. This discussion demonstrates how these processes can be facilitated with the help of
visuality that connects to students’ lived cultural experiences. This presentation demonstrates the salience of using
authentic foreign films, those unique cultural journeys in the virtual reality of another country, created in and through
national cinematography, as powerful means of gaining cultural awareness and sensitivity, necessary for any form of
“cultural travel.”
Interaction, Transparency, and Practice: Communicative and Material Factors Contributing to Convergence in
Technology Use, Alan Clark, Northwestern U; William Barley, Northwestern U; Paul Leonardi, Northwestern U

Presented at the following event:

7541. Top Papers in Organizational Communication
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The way people use new technology is strongly affected by explicit communication with coworkers. Through direct
interpersonal communication, organizational members come to develop shared usage practices that can benefit
organizational performance. The increased prevalence of distributed teams, however, diminishes the potential for
explicit communication about a new technology to occur. Current theory predicts that such teams will have greater
diversity of use and take longer to converge upon shared technology use than co-located teams. We propose that the
effects of distribution on convergence are mitigated by a new technology’s level of transparency – its ability to show
to others how an individual used the technology. We developed an agent-based model to test team appropriation of a
new technology’s features along two dimensions: distribution of team members and level of technological
transparency. Our model analysis supports our propositions and suggests specific mechanisms through which
transparency may affect the convergence process.

7331. Location-Based Services and the Shaping of Local Communities
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Since the popularization of mobile phones, many critics have lamented the decline of public spaces as they have
become cluttered with outside connections, drawing positive correlations between global connections and local
disconnections. Undoubtedly, mobile phones promote social disruption, especially when used in public spaces such
as restaurants and public transportation. Psychologist Kenneth Gergen called this perceived disconnection from
physical space “absent presence.” For him, absence presence is when “one is physically absorbed by a technologically
mediated world of elsewhere.” But despite this criticism, people continue to meaningfully interact with their
surroundings. From sidewalks infused with historical significance to plazas that cultivate social interaction, urban
spaces serve as platforms for place-making, even as the methods of inhabiting those spaces are expanding to include
networked connectivity. It is increasingly commonplace for people to inhabit a hybrid of physical and digital spaces,
mediated by the use of mobile and location-aware technologies. This multiple habitation stretches the boundaries of
the Aristolean space typically associated with cities. Digital networks extend the perceived physical context of bodies
as a user can be in one space and communicate with someone in an entirely different space. What I call networked
locality (or net locality) is the cultural and technological framework through which people manufacture places
mediated by location-aware and mobile devices and digital networks. Location-aware technologies and the
information with which they interface are not outside places, nor is physical material space disconnected from the
location-based information now embedded in it. Each is a part of how locations are constructed, occupied and
disseminated. In this paper, I address how the design of experiences within net localities can reframe how people
understand their location and communities. I present on findings of two case studies: the games Participatory
Chinatown and Community PlanIt. Each is a game about location that was played within a location. Each blended
face-to-face with virtual presence to create a deep sense of community and geographic connections.
Interactivity in Risk Communication: Examining the Interaction Effect Among Threat, Response Efficacy, and
Interactivity, Kai Kuang, Purdue U; Hyunyi Cho, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

5129. Health and Risk Information: Sources and Effects
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Extant risk communication research has focused on the content of risk messages, and less attention has been paid to
the delivery of risk messages. In particular, the potential of interactivity in improving the effectiveness of risk
communication messages has not been empirically investigated. An experiment was conducted to examine the effects
of threat, response efficacy, and interactivity on attitudes and information seeking intentions related to college
students’ meningococcal vaccination. Results suggested a three-way interaction among interactivity, threat, and
response efficacy on message involvement such that the two-way interaction for threat and response efficacy was
significant in the high interactivity condition, while it was not significant when message was presented in low
interactive format. Message involvement mediated the effects of threat, response efficacy, and interactivity on
attitudes toward vaccination and intentions for information seeking. This showed that interactivity amplified the two-
way interaction between threat and response efficacy. In addition, the mediation effect of message involvement
partially explained the process how threat, response efficacy, and interactivity influence health-related outcomes.
Implications of the results for future research are discussed.
Intercultural Adjustment and Friendship Dialectics in International Students: A Qualitative Study, Jean Hotta,

Presented at the following event:

5152. Intercultural Interaction and Adjustment
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper focuses on Ting-Toomey’s (1993, 2005) identity negotiation theory in analyzing the identity change
process of international students studying in the U.S. The identity negotiation theory is valuable in explaining how
people behave communicatively in an unfamiliar cultural encounter, as they experience emotional vulnerability and
identity-threatening challenges. This paper is organized in four sections. First, Ting-Toomey’s (2005) identity
negotiation theory and related research studies on intercultural adjustment and friendship patterns of international
students will be summarized. Second, the qualitative research design of this study will be presented. Third, the derived
themes of identity and communication shifts, cultural and personal time in friendship, and identity shock and
friendship dialectics will be explained with relevant interview quotes. Lastly, directions for future research in the area
of intercultural adjustment patterns and friendship dialectics of international students will be offered.

Presented at the following event:

7328. Covering Revolutions and Conflicts in Communist and Postcommunist States
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study examines the news coverage of Thomson Reuters News Agency and Interfax News Agency of the 2009 to
2010 spat between Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. The analysis focuses
how the two agencies report on conflict among political elites in post-Soviet and post-perestroika Russia. Widespread
international and national reports on varied constraints to press freedom in Russia feed this inquiry into news coverage
of such a volatile and politically sensitive issue. Relying on theories of framing, the study employs discourse and
thematic analyses to deconstruct the relevant news reports from the two agencies to explore how two different
international news organizations comply with Western journalistic principles, while navigating the documented
constraints to professional journalism in Russian. The qualitative study concludes that through their orientation,
reporting styles, and editorial decisions Interfax and Reuters invariably privileged certain perspectives on the conflict
while ignoring others.
Intermedia Agenda Setting in the Global Age: International News Coverage and the Online Media in Ghana, Etse
Godwin Sikanku, U of Iowa

Presented at the following event:

5538. Journalism Practice and Content in Global Context
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper is concerned with the extent to which the news agenda of Ghana’s media is influenced by global news
agencies using the inter-media agenda setting theory. Media scholars suggest inter-media agenda setting as a growing
but important area in international news coverage and selection. Inter-media agenda setting is the process by which the
news agenda of one media influences that of another. Like many countries across the world the internet has become a
popular medium of mass communication in Ghana. This has been linked to the upsurge in globalization and the
internet both of which operate under a “third wave” of democratization that swept across sub-Saharan Africa in the
immediate post-cold war era. It examines the inter-media agenda setting effects in an international context by
examining the relationship between the BBC’s online website and local websites such as Ghanaweb and the Daily
Guide. By using content analysis, traditional cross lagged correlations, chi-square tests this study examines the issue
agendas of these websites during two different time periods.

6221. The Intersection of Instructional Communication and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Considering the extension of globalization to university settings, the main goal of this current study was to investigate
how international students’ information-seeking behaviors would be affected by their perception of information
ambiguity and predict their communication satisfaction. For more thorough analysis, this study was based on cross-
cultural analysis, by comparing American students to international students from Far East Asian countries—Mainland
China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. By analyzing survey data through a series of hierarchical regression analyses, this
study was able to find a number of interesting findings. Two of those findings were a) while international students’
inquiry of information positively predicted their communication satisfaction, this effect was not significant among
domestic students, b) while American students’ monitoring of professors positively affected their communication
satisfaction, there was no significant effect of monitoring on international students’ communication satisfaction.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

There are distinctive ways to deal with inadequate Internet skills. We investigate what patterns of support people turn
to, and how these correspond to levels of Internet skills. Furthermore, we investigate whether these patterns moderate
the effect of Internet skills on positive outcomes of Internet use. The results reveal a sharp delineation of used support
sources, framed as independence, informal support and formal support. Each pattern is characterized by a distinct
configuration of Internet skills. Furthermore, we found that the benefits of Internet use are determined by operational,
communication and strategic skills. Independent users benefit more than formal help seekers and much more than
social support seekers. We conclude that Internet communication skills hold the potential of achieving a high degree
of independence in using the Internet by compensating information skills to attain positive Internet outcomes.

Loughborough U

Presented at the following event:

5522. Popular Culture and Political Communication Around the World
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

It is often remarked that the personal lives of politicians, like those of sports, film and television stars and host of
other celebrities, have become a familiar part of the public's daily media consumption. Like celebrities in other fields
leading politicians it is claimed have willingly surrendered their privacy, or have been unable to defend it from a
celebrity-obsessed media. However, there is little if any systematic comparative research which explores the extent to
which such personal information is a feature of mainstream media coverage. We do not know whether trends
identified in some democracies, such as the UK and the US, are visible elsewhere. Based on extensive comparative
research this paper examines the visibility of national leaders’ private lives in political books and national newspapers
in seven democracies. In order to get a sense of whether and how coverage might have evolved in different countries it
examines the publicity given to the different domains of leaders’ personal lives, both cross-nationally and over time.
The paper examines the publicity given to significant events in the personal lives of national leaders and to their
domestic realm and family life. Finally, it looks at the publicity given to their life stories and incidents from those
stories, before exploring the underlying causes. James Stanyer is Senior Lecturer in Communication and Media
Studies at Loughborough University. He has published widely in the area of political communication and he is
particularly interested in the relationships between popular culture and politics in advanced industrial democracies. He
has recently completed comparative research for a monograph for Polity on the personalization of politics
(forthcoming 2012).
Into the Tordesilhas Twilight Zone of Transnational Television: The Paradox of Heightened Hispanidad and
Lusophone Viewership at Key Urban Sites of Transmission, Catherine Benamou, U of California - Irvine

Presented at the following event:

6333. Immigration and Media Usage: A Comparative Analysis Between Hispanophone and Lusophone Diasporas
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Drawing on results of research conducted over the past 2 years, this presentation will explore the patterns and spaces
of transmission, along with the modes of reception and textual inscription of media that incorporates or invites
Lusophone engagement in transnational television while circulating within a predominantly Hispanophone universe.
In its inflection of cultural content and performance style as well as its power to generate cultural capital and
marketability, Hispanidad has opened new spaces for U.S. Latina/o expression and enfranchisement, while troubling
others - notably the expression of indigeneity and Lusophone identity. While not extensively studied, Brazilian and
Portuguese immigrants make up a meaningful portion of the audience for Spanish-language television in both the U.S.
and Spain. This paper brings to the fore the role played by these new media texts and transmission patterns for the
Lusophone audience at key migrant destinations such as Miami and Madrid.

U of Oklahoma

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This paper examines the usage of Intranet as a social space (Lefebrve, 1974) in corporate organizations. Lefebrve
(1974) argued that space is a social product and a complex social construction that is based on values and the social
production of meanings. Thus employees’ everyday life interactions on an organizational intranet could produce a
social space that affects spatial practices and perceptions. In this framework, this study examines the Intranet
communication of Southwest Airlines called SWALife as a case study to understand how this medium projects
organizational values, perceptions, and shared meanings and how it contributes to building a sense of virtual
community among employees.

Investigating Journalism Prizes and Awards : Resolving the Problem of the Construction and Validation of Excellence
in Journalistic Practices, Howard Tumber, City U London

Presented at the following event:

6622. Excellence and Quality in Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Journalism both shapes and is shaped by society. Journalism creates the potential for different ways of living and
relating to each other, communicating, participating in the public sphere, thinking about the world and ourselves. At
the same time society influences journalistic practices and the context in which these are generated and formulated. In
the context of new digital technologies, society uses these to modify, adopt, expand and contest journalistic practices.
The impact of journalism on society is reflected in the transformation of institutional practices. Laws and regulations
are re-designed to respond to the changing nature and meaning of quality in journalism. The proliferation of awards
and prizes as an indicator of journalistic quality is a good example of this institutional modification. Societies,
individuals, journalists and institutions all participate in the evolution of journalism and shape the notion(s) of what
good journalism is about. Journalistic prizes and awards represent similar but also different ideas about excellence and
quality in journalism cross-culturally and historically. Similarities can stem from ‘objective’ indicators that pertain to
economic development, employment structures and market forces, and professional qualifications, whereas
differences arise from subjective indicators that are reflected in institutional and societal values and beliefs about what
constitutes good or bad journalism. In the attempt to define, assess and compare the different standards of quality and
excellence, it is important to integrate both indicators.
Investigating the Effects of Physical and Virtual Embodiment in Different Interaction Settings, Laura Hoffmann, U
Duisburg-Essen

Presented at the following event:

6223. Extended Session: Virtual Environment and Representation
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Studies comparing physically embodied robots with virtually embodied screen characters have resulted in inconsistent
findings with respect to subjective (users’ evaluations) as well as objective (e.g. task performance of the users)
measurements. Those comparison studies used different robots, a variety of virtual embodiments (video recording,
computer simulation, animated characters, etc.) and different interaction scenarios, thus impeding the comparability of
their results. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted which, using a 2 x 2 between subjects design (N= 81),
systematically varied the embodiment of the artificial entity as well as the type of interaction setting. Participants
interacted with either a robot or a virtual representation of the robot (on a screen) in a task-oriented or a persuasive-
conversational scenario. The results revealed that participants in a task-oriented setting felt better after the interaction
than participants who had a persuasive-conversational interaction with the artificial entity, regardless of its
embodiment. With regard to the evaluation of the artificial entity, participants perceived the robot as more competent
than the virtual character in a task-oriented setting, but evaluated the virtual character better than the robot in the
persuasive-conversational setting. No differences between the experimental conditions emerged with respect to
objective measures (persuasion and task performance). Various explanations for these findings are discussed and
implications for the application of robots and virtual characters are derived.

5323. Intimacy & Emotional Supports in Social Network Sites
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

A deep understanding of social interaction in social networking sites (SNSs) can provide important insights into
questions of human social and relational behavior, as well as shape the design of new social platforms and
applications. Recent studies have shown that a majority of user interactions on SNSs are latent interactions—passive
actions such as profile browsing that cannot be observed directly by traditional research methods. This paper presents
a new technique to capture natural social interaction in SNSs, which offers a better understanding of both visible (e.g.,
comments and wall posts) and latent (e.g., passive profile browsing) user interactions in SNSs than has been possible
before. Our data, collected from over 42 million SNS users, shed new light on human social and relational behavior in
SNS contexts, in some cases supporting prior work on phenomena such as lurking, interpersonal electronic
surveillance, and social capital, and, in other cases, challenging past research findings.

6252. Extended Session: Engaging Opinions: Speed Dating for Publication in Environmental Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In the recent past, there has been a renewal of interest in environmental communication. The current study applies
theories of persuasion and advertising theories to environmental communication to investigate the differences in
behavior of believers and non-believers of global warming and the role of framing in persuading non-believers. An
online experiment (3X2) was designed with three levels of framing and two levels of belief in global warming as the
independent variables. Results indicate that environmental ads do work in persuading both believers and non-believers
to engage in sustainable behavior and the best approach to persuade non-believers is to use a gain frame.
Is Social Media a Political Opportunity? Reconciling Social Movement Theory With Occupy Wall Street, Joshua M.

Presented at the following event:

5322. Organizing Occupy Wall Street: A Test Case For Theories of Internet Politics
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Where did Occupy Wall Street (OWS) come from? Social movements are theorized to form in the confluence of
grievances and political opportunities. People engage when they are unhappy with society and they feel efficacious
about their ability to affect change. Implicit within this framework is an assumption that either grievances or
opportunities need to change for a social movement to form. Yet, for the OWS movement, no obvious change in
either precursor is apparent. In this paper, I explore three possible ways to reconcile this discrepancy. First, that there
was a substantive change in societal grievances that was not widely discussed that served as a precursor. Second, that
the increasingly normative use of social media engendered novel political opportunities. And third, that OWS falls
outside of current explanatory frameworks and necessitates a new paradigm. The results of this analysis reveal that all
three are partially at work.

The so-called “Missing White Women Syndrome” in the media was largely a popular belief that has not been

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

After a brief description of the Israeli context, this paper will describe three surveys of Israeli journalists conducted in
2002. Israeli journalists emerged from the surveys as very different demographically from their audiences and
satisfied with their work, despite reporting harsh working conditions. In a comparative perspective, Israeli journalists
are among the most lenient when it comes to justifying the use of ethically questionable practices. While comparative
journalism research focuses on comparing journalists from different countries, we will argue that it is also important
to examine journalists’ answers to survey questions in comparison to the answers that their audiences provide to the
same questions. Several such comparisons from the Israeli contexts will be presented.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The international media coverage of disability sports displays diverse quantitative and qualitative shortcomings and
shows that disability sports issues are frequently framed in unfavorable and negative ways. This study explores the
effects of (valenced) issue-specific news frames in a disability sports communication. In an experimental study
(between-subjects design) 90 participants were randomly assigned to three groups. Participants read a sports news
article about the situation in disability sports prior to the 2012 Paralimpic Games with a frame that either saliently
focused on the athletic performance in disability sports (group 1), or the fate and the (financial) dependency on public
support of disability sports (group 2), or on both (mixed frame; group 3). Participants’ importance considerations
ragarding disability sports, as well as their attitudes towards a portrayed athlete with a disability were measured.
Findings show a significant impact of the applied frames on participants’ importance considerations and attitudes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Psychological research has demonstrated that priming effects are a dual function of the recency and frequency of a
prime. Examinations of media priming in health communication, however, tend to focus exclusively on recency and
potentially miss valuable message effects. In this study, we offered empirical tests of priming in a health context that
involve both recency and frequency in central ways. Secondary analyses of data from two experiments were
conducted to test the priming effects of antismoking messages. Study 1 found that repeated exposure to news articles
about successful quitting stories strengthened the association between smokers’ self-efficacy and intention to quit
smoking. Study 2 showed that the negative association between former smokers’ smoking urge and intention to
refrain from smoking was strengthened in response to both recency and frequency of exposure to smoking cues in
antismoking public service announcements.
It’s Right to Be Sad: The Role of Meta-Appraisals in the Sad Film Paradoxon A Multiple Mediator Model, Matthias
Hofer, U of Zürich; Werner Wirth, U of Zürich

Presented at the following event:

7550. Media and Entertainment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Although sad films elicit states of sadness and cause onlookers to mourn beloved characters these media offers also
lead to enjoyment. This paradoxical situation challenges both theoretical approaches and empirical studies in
entertainment research. Based on an appraisal-theoretical framework, the present study examines to role of multiple
appraisals of recipients’ sadness. It is argued that these so-called meta-appraisals are able to transform one’s sadness
into a positive meta-emotion (i.e. enjoyment). This process is called valence transformation. Results of an
experimental study (N =149) show that in case of a sad end, participants experienced higher levels of sadness than
when the film has a happy end. Furthermore, given a sad end, meta-appraisal processes are activated that mediate the
relationship between sadness and enjoyment. If the film, however, has a happy end there are no indirect effects.
Results are discussed in the light of theoretical considerations.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The television drama Mad Men was an immediate critical hit when it premiered in July of 2007 on AMC. The
multiple Emmy Award-winning program received a large amount of mainstream press for its depiction of 1960s
Madison Avenue, complete with rampant sexism. This study utilizes feminist criticism to examine not only the
explicit forms of sexism depicted on Mad Men, but also the implicit and more subtle ways the dominant ideology of
patriarchy is normalized. While the program is a drama, Mad Men uses sexism for humor. This type of depiction of
gender stereotypes and overt sexism encourages viewers to accept patriarchy as ideal and natural, find humor in
independent women attempting to break of the dominant ideology, and trivializes gender bias as a laughing matter.

8227. Source Selection Across News Beats, Organizations, and Platforms
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The internet has changed public communication dramatically. Three ambivalences of political communication, i.e.
participation versus privatization, plurality versus fragmentation, and democratization versus de-professionalization,
lead to the question of what defines the core of journalism and the quality of the profession’s product. In a
quantitative content analysis we have analyzed the news quality of different news sources, comparing non-traditional
(n=565) and traditional platforms (n=1,231) on the one hand and professional (n=1,796), semi-professional (n=294),
and non-professional sources (n=233) on the other. Results show that non-professional media in quality terms still
take the backseat over professional media news, particularly printed newspapers that showed the highest quality in
covering top news, followed by professional sources on the internet. Thus, it is the degree of professionalization that
matters and not the platform.
Japanese Employees Want Advice or Empathy? A Multilevel Perspective on Supervisor Support and Leader-Member
Exchange, Masaki Matsunaga, Rikkyo U

Presented at the following event:

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Burlesonean theory of social support posits that emotional support is the most person-centered and therefore most
effective way to provide support. Findings from cross-cultural management studies suggest, however, that individuals
in collectivistic, vertically-oriented cultures prefer explicit directions and advice to empathy in work settings. The
current study aims to address this discrepancy through the analysis of the data collected from working adults in Japan.
Emotional support, informational support, and their interaction terms are specified to affect individuals’ subjective
well-being, intrinsic motivation, work-related efficacy, and job satisfaction. In addition, individuals’ perception about
their relationship with the supervisor/leader is modeled as a mediator conveying the effects of support on the
abovementioned outcomes. Finally, the degree to which a work group leader differentiate the relational closeness with
employees under her/his supervision is incorporated as a group-level factor. The findings are discussed in reference to
the theories on social support and supervisor-subordinate relationship management.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

When Japan’s Meiji Emperor assumed the throne in 1868, the tenets of Shintoism began to change drastically.
Leaders of the Meiji Restoration created and enforced a “state” Shinto, one in which its myths, rituals, and language
became propaganda tools promoting nationalism, patriotism, and the worship of the Emperor and encouraging war
with China and Russia war – and eventually with America. This co-optation of Shinto lasted until the postwar
Occupation, when Allied rulers, insisting that the Japanese separate the sacred (Shinto) from the secular
(government), dismantled the religion and its manifestations. This paper seeks to fill a gap in studies of the history of
the state-Shinto relationship by tracing war propaganda in slogans, speeches, and writings back to the sacred
scriptures to illuminate and analyze how its language was misappropriated and exploited by the Meiji government for
secular, nationalistic purposes, with dire consequences for Shinto and, potentially, for today’s Japan.

Duffy, Temple U

Presented at the following event:

7231. New Media and Models for Understanding Content and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The transformed circuits of production and consumption associated with media convergence are leading to a
reconfiguration of work in the media industries. Although a number of scholars have examined the extent to which
digital technologies and interactive audience activities are impacting the processes and ideologies of journalism, the
consumer magazine industry has been overlooked until now. This study examines how convergence-related shifts are
redefining the professional identities and production structures of the women’s magazine industry. Through
interviews with thirty magazine professionals and a textual analysis of the trade press, I explore how positions are
being created, responsibilities are being redeployed, and departments are being realigned. As a result, I argue, creative
staffers are forced to negotiate specialization with being a jack (or jill)-of-all-trades; face a loss of editorial autonomy;
and are embedded in a professional culture where the gender composition may be shifting in problematic ways.

the New Communication Environment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Just as in the West, technological advancements are changing the way journalism is practiced in much of Asia. For
both developed and developing countries the internet has changed the way information is gathered and disseminated.
Cross-platform news production is becoming more common while at the same time there is increasing demand for
specialized news content, and greater opportunities for reaching audiences seeking such fare. These developments are,
in turn, changing the way journalists work and are perceived by both news makers and news consumers. However,
there are some important dissimilarities between Asia and the West when it comes to the impact of technological
developments on journalism. For example, in contrast to much of the West, many Asian countries continue to have
healthy newspaper industries, some of which are even experiencing growth in readership. There are also meaningful
differences between developed and advancing Asian countries. The impact of these trends and differences on
journalism education will be discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This quantitative study examines the editorial content of the American journalism reviews: the American Journalism
Review (AJR), the St. Louis Journalism Review (SJR) and the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR). The results show
the reviews published five subjects most frequently: media/news industry, journalists, newspaper, media and politics
and radio. In terms of the author, more than half (55%) of the articles were written by AJR, SJR and CJR staff. The
lengths of the editorial content varied.

Janet Ellen Steele, George Washington U

Presented at the following event:

7452-18. Journalism Studies Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

There are 19 Islamic universities and institutes in Indonesia, and each offers some sort of journalism education. The
basic curricula resemble those of journalism programs in the U.S., with a combination of courses in journalism theory
and practice. Yet unlike the U.S. and other Western countries, in Indonesian Islamic institutes and universities,
courses in journalism and communication studies are not located in either the social sciences or independent colleges,
but rather in faculties or schools of dakwah, where they are seen as key elements of Islamic propagation. This paper
focuses on three aspects of journalism education in the context of Islamic Indonesia: the “vision and mission” of
dakwah, the curriculum and course content, and what happens to students upon graduation. It concludes with some
thoughts on the overall goals of journalism in an Islamic context, and similarities and differences with what has been
called “prophetic journalism” in the United States.
Journalism as Bipolar Interactional Expertise, Zvi Reich, Ben-Gurion U of the Negev

Presented at the following event:

5328. Professional Expertise and Subjective Emotionality in News Work
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper offers a theoretical framework for understanding journalistic expertise, based on a revision of Collins and
Evans’ model. According to their innovative and influential taxonomy, that constitutes a “third wave of science
studies,” a small elite of experienced and diligent journalists in particular news beats can become “interactional
experts,” specializing in the expertise of their news sources and mastering their discourse and judgment. The current
paper, however, suggests that experienced journalists develop different degrees of bipolar “interactional expertise,”
sandwiched between concrete interactions with their news sources and largely imagined interactions with their
audiences. The audience pole not only limits their expertise and fits it to the constraints of the news environment but
also drives and legitimizes their focus on information that is simple and quick to obtain and convey and is ostensibly
interesting and important for their audiences. The paper shows that bipolar interactions are part of day-to-day
journalistic realities, embedded in different roles, procedures and practices. Recent years have been marked by a
tectonic shift in journalistic expertise, merging commercial pressures for greater emphasis on audience interactions
with new technologies for audience metrics.
Journalism in Times of Cost-Cutting and Web 2.0: A Study on the Impact of Marketing and Digitization on Sourcing
Practices and Editorial Content, Sarah Van Leuven, Ghent U; Karin Raeymaeckers, Ghent U

Presented at the following event:

8128. The Impact of Competition and Commercialization on Journalism
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In order to assess the impact of commercialisation and digitization on journalists’ sourcing practices, we set up a
content analysis of the secondary sources and information actors in the news output of four Flemish newspapers over
a period of 10 years (2000-2010). From a longitudinal methodological perspective we match our results with
reflexions on the expanding or shrinking mediated public sphere. The analysis shows little to no shifts through time.
Mainstream sources dominate the news but citizens are also an important part of it. As far as we can observe, Flemish
journalists modestly refer to pre-packaged sources. The opportunities for a more diverse source use offered by Web
2.0 applications have not yet penetrated in their newsrooms. The findings indicate that often heard concerns about
cost-cutting in newsrooms or sanguinity about the democratic potential of Web 2.0 seem fairly exaggerated, at least in
the Flemish context.

6227. Plagiarism, Copy-Paste, and Other Ethical Challenges in the New Media Environment
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study, resulting from long-form interviews with 80 journalists, finds that reporters possess a polarized experience
of fair use – the right in some circumstances to quote copyrighted material without permission or payment. The
professional culture shared among journalists is highly conducive to robust employment of free speech rights under
the copyright doctrine of fair use. But their actual knowledge of fair use practice is low. Ironically, when they do not
know that they are employing fair use, they utilize logic and reasoning that accords extremely well with today’s legal
interpretation. Yet when they have to actively decide about whether to employ fair use, they often resort to myths and
misconceptions. From this framework of fair use, journalists experience expense, delays and even failure to meet their
mission of informing the public.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper examines Vibe magazine as a vehicle for disrupting mainstream press visual narratives about African
Americans in general and Black youth in particular while also reproducing patriarchal imagery of African American
women. For this discussion, I draw on a visual analysis of four Vibe magazine covers and interviews with Vibe’s
founders and current media workers. Examined will be motivations of the cover makers but also the cover images as
cultural artifacts. One of the top fifty magazines in the U.S. in the 90’s, Vibe helped to catapult hip hop culture into
the mainstream. The paper contextualizes Vibe covers within socio-political history, and critical race communication
theories. An analysis of the interviews uncovers that media makers were responding to specific negative media
portrayals of racialized populations within the popular media discourse.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Journalistic autonomy is an integral characteristic for the emerging news media undergoing radical political liberation
and social transformation. Based on a survey with Iraqi journalists, this study found that their perceptions of
journalistic autonomy are largely influenced by organizational and social institution level gatekeeping forces rather
than individual and work routines level gatekeeping forces. In particular, eight salient predictors of journalistic
autonomy, including independence from government pressure, safety from threats from militant groups, media type
differences between print and broadcast, and increased hiring of news staff were identified.

8127. Theoretical Perspectives on Journalistic Autonomy and Power
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The newsroom ethnographies of the 1970s still provide valuable insights on journalism, especially the practical work
it requires. However, they all share a dead angle, which is that all practices they describe are shaped by meanings of
what good and bad journalism is. I propose a cultural approach to study journalistic practice, combining field theory,
cultural performance, and symbolic boundaries. Ethnographic material on reporter-source relations at the New York
State government will demonstrate the utility of this approach. The internal norms of the journalistic field valorize its
autonomy, and require journalists to draw boundaries between themselves and their sources. But maintaining access
to information requires journalists to maintain sociable relations with sources that blur such boundaries. An important
way they negotiate these twin demands is through performance and management of boundaries.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study examines replies to open-ended questions from the 2002 and 2007 versions of “The American Journalist”
survey series to determine perceived limits on job-related freedom and whether they changed over time. It also
examines whether U.S. journalists believe their news organizations effectively inform the public and whether such
views changed over time. Of particular interest is how autonomy and perceived journalistic effectiveness are linked to
market-driven factors. Results revealed a partly supported hypothesis that commercial and organizational limits would
likely increase over time. Other key findings include a higher percentage of journalists who reported no significant
freedom limits [8.5 percent], a lower percentage of limits based largely on moral standards [4.4 percent combined], a
higher percentage of journalists who tied money and resources to increased and decreased reporting effectiveness [6.6
percent combined], and a lower percentage who tied ethics and objectivity to effective reporting [3.4 percent].

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The goal of this paper is to broaden our understanding about diverse challenges that modern media is facing in rapidly
changing economic, technological as well as social and cultural conditions. All earlier attempts to evaluate the
media’s reactions to the arising demands of the new modernity (to develop new forms, to sustain new relations) have
mainly concentrated on the efforts to apply existing theories and available empirical methods. The surrounding
realities, however, are much more complex. Media is not only confronted with economic crises and devaluations. The
mass media is losing its omnipresence and new communicative spaces are being formed due to new technologies
offering individualized participation and access. These changes also have dramatic effects on how journalistic
professionalism is defined. This paper identifies main guiding principles of professional ethos as described by the two
dozens of journalists working in different media organizations in the Baltic States. It also discloses dominant
characteristics of the Baltic media systems often described by keywords of hybridity and inhomogeneity. It pays close
attention to journalism culture and existing traditions most clearly identified in the hybrid character of parallel media
spaces and networks each functioning with its own logic, customs, disposition, character and journalistic ethos.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Data-driven journalism may become an even more important field in the future, as showcased for instance by the
journalistic investigations that were based on the large data-sets leaked through by the whistleblowing platform
WikiLeaks. With the great amount of data that becomes available, through whistleblowers but especially also through
online sources and social media, journalists in-creasingly need to acquire competencies for (1) handling the amount of
data and turning them into information, (2) analyzing these data in terms of quality, reliability and relevance and (3)
building and maintaining relationships with their respective sources (communities). In essence, we want to posit in our
panel contribution that journalists are increasingly dependent on obtaining ‘journalistic e-literacy’ for these tasks.
From a research perspective, we think it is important to understand the journalists’ role in this new media ecology,
with implications also for the journalistic practice in terms of the ability to cope with and to succeed in data driven
investigative environments. To address these issues, our contribution will propose, based on a survey of the literature
and scale development procedures, an expanded measurement model for journalistic skillsets in coping with large
amounts of data.

5227. Professionalization or De-Professionalization? International Perspectives on Journalists’ Roles and Education in
the New Communication Environment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The concept of professionalization of journalism was almost totally been buried shortly after it was proposed in the
seminal article by McLeod and Hawley (1964). ‘Not possible’ and ‘not wanted’ was the reaction of most scholars and
critics. Journalists’ tasks on the job would be much too versatile to define and teach them in a way doctors and
lawyers get prepared for their professions. Further, journalists could never accept responsibilities for the
consequences of their professional behaviors – another prerequisite for professionalization. The ‘not wanted’
argument pointed primarily to the nature of journalism as an occupation that has grown out of the individual’s right to
communicate freely with others. Any restrictions, and be it for the sake of better media content, would immediately be
challenged by constitutional considerations. The latter has not changed but the former has. I argue that particularly the
new communication environment asks for a redefinition of the social role that journalists fulfill in and for society and
for a ‘de-facto-professionalization’. Through the internet the number of communicators has exploded. Many see
themselves as journalists, just adding to the number of existing journalists working for professional media, be it print,
broadcast or online. I argue that a steadfast definition of the borders of professional journalism is crucial for the
survival of the public discourse and the coherence of society. Based on literature I suggest that the main task of
journalists is to ‘separate evidence from gossip’ (Barnhurst & Owens 2008) or in a more differentiated way: detection
(of new evidence), falsification (of assumptions), and connection (of facts, events, and processes). This would make
journalists the new “knowledge profession” of our societies (Hjarvard 2008) and alter the definition of their
professional competencies and the content of the curricula.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Based on a national survey of 1,185 journalists, this study investigates the basic characteristics, education and
training, working conditions, and professional values of ethics among journalists in Taiwan. The results show that the
typical journalist in Taiwan is a married male with a bachelor’s degree, 36 years old, earning about $1,700 per month,
and working for a daily newspaper. This study also shows that many of the most highly experienced journalists plan to
leave the field relatively early because of low job satisfaction and autonomy, and lack of money and esteem for the job
their organization is doing. The findings of the study suggest that the news media in Taiwan have to significantly
improve the working conditions of their editorial staffers by increasing their salaries, improving their job satisfaction,
providing them with more autonomy, and helping them advance in order to retain these seasoned journalists.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper examines how journalists from different journalism cultures and media systems evaluate the impact of old
versus new media accountability instruments (MAI) on professional journalistic standards – established instruments
like press councils and ethics codes, but also more recent online instruments like media blogs and participatory MAI,
i.e. media criticism via Twitter and Facebook. We argue that innovative and participatory MAI online have gained
con-siderable influence on journalists across countries in the digital age. The paper presents selected preliminary
results of the first comparative journalists’ survey on media accountability ever, for which 1.762 journalists in 14
European and Arab countries are currently being surveyed online. The field phase ends November 15, and the full
data set will be available in Phoenix. Drawing on Hallin & Mancini’s model of journalism cultures, the survey
analyzes whether there is a “globalization” of journalists’ attitudes regarding the impact of tradi-tional versus
online/participatory media accountability.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

News sharing website (NSW) as one kind of emerging social media underscores the transformation of online news
diffusion to a participatory process in which users can actively submit, comment, and disseminate news. The purpose
of this study is twofold: first, to propose a news diffusion model for NSW in the perspective of threshold models, and
second, to identify and compare the influence of online social networks and news aggregator of NSW. Using the
network data of 3553 news diffusions made by 139,409 distinct users on Digg’s social network which includes
1731658 friendship links, the findings confirm the social influence of online friendship networks and that of the news
aggregator, and further, NSW as news aggregator has larger influence on news diffusion, which implies that epidemic
models may overestimate online friends’ influence. Thus this paper extends classic news diffusion models to NSW,
and highlights the news aggregating function of NSW.

7331. Location-Based Services and the Shaping of Local Communities
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper focuses on a practice which foursquare users have dubbed “jumping,” where players check-in at locations
without being physically present, usually to gain badges only accessible in distant locales. Users who “jump” have
become a controversial group in the foursquare community: many see them as cheaters who “game the system,” and
foursquare does not recognize their check-ins with points. While jumping occurs in many countries, critics have
associated the practice with Indonesia, where foursquare has taken off as a local phenomenon and jumping is often an
organized activity. However, since most badges are only linked to US-based locations, Indonesian users must “jump”
in order to gain them. We utilize our study of foursquare jumpers as a lens through which to consider practices and
industrial logics that construct location-based social media participants as possessing certain types of mobility and
embed these users in privileged, socio-technical realities. Through discussions among developers and conversations
among foursquare participants, we identify how certain practices and users are discursively constructed as normative
while other practices and user groups are marginalized. By examining the case of Indonesian foursquare jumpers, we
highlight the geopolitics that occur on social media and question the meaning of “local” within these systems. At face
value, there is a top-down conflict between the foursquare developers and the unexpected uses of the Indonesian
jumper community. However, by expanding on Uteng and Cresswell’s differential mobility (2011), we call attention
to the potential for these foreign users to create a mobility for themselves, even if there may be no way for foursquare
(as an American start-up company framed by Silicon Valley, Web 2.0 values [Marwick 2010]) to cater to them.

Is technology moving too fast for the American jury system? Since 1999, jurors’ Internet research, blog comments
and tweets have called into question at least ninety verdicts. Judges have granted new trials or overturned verdicts in
twenty-eight such cases, and twenty-one in the past two years alone. This paper aims to address critical issues that
have yet to be broadly explored when America’s centuries-old jury system faces a rapidly accelerating
technologically-wired society. With the rise of social media, including websites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace,
and LinkedIn, social media use by participants in the courtroom offers unique problems involving juror misconduct
and the process of regulating media use during trial. This paper will track issues of technology in the courtroom and
provide a framework for potential remedies to the problem of social media in the courtroom, including a brief history
and importance of pattern jury instructions, and finally proposals to modernize jury instructions and other potential
regulatory measures.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Wedding reality television shows have proliferated in recent years, serving to further bolster what Ingraham (1999)
terms the widespread “wedding industrial complex.” The current study specifically examines The Learning Channel’s
"Say Yes to the Dress" as an exemplar of this genre. This study seeks to explore the show’s presentation of the
meaning of marriage and weddings, the norms of bridal behavior and femininity, the symbolic value attached to the
dress, and the lessons regarding proper wedding consumption practices. Through this analysis, "Say Yes to the Dress"
is explored as a pedagogic text that presents traditional consumption narratives, but one that also offers significant
exceptions and new perspectives on the wedding industry that allow for more diverse, fluid, critical approaches to the
wedding institution and industry.

In the super-size-me culture of modern society, over 30% of American children are packing on pounds at an alarming
rate. Community health campaigns are gaining a foothold in efforts to change the tide of obesity for this vulnerable
population. This communication study examines a theatrical presentation emphasizing healthy lifestyle choices to a
population of middle school students in the fall of 2010 in 70 schools, generating more than one thousand responses to
a survey of seven questions. Four questions were deemed relevant to the study; a random sample of 323 was
generated. Students expressed concern about weight loss, stress reduction, physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco
use. They retained information about healthy choices presented humorously and when they were personally involved
on stage. These plays are presented as a segment of a broader health campaign targeted to youth and their families.
Success has engendered broad community support and participation.

Juxtaposition is a complex phenomenon that exists abundantly in visual media messages. However, juxtaposition is an
under-researched phenomenon that has not been systematically documented or empirically measured, especially in
news. Taking into account previous theories from several disciplines, the present study proposes a new definition of
juxtaposition and describes its possible effects; then, I analyze its historical evolution in newspapers’ formats and
online news layouts. The recent shift towards online news has significantly reversed a decreasing juxtaposition trend
through newspaper history making the study of juxtaposition more relevant. Whether it is a mosaic, a collage, or a
noisy environment, the juxtaposition of news is, as other media formats, not neutral or transparent. Its possible effects
could be affecting, just as the content and framing of news, readers’ interpretation of events.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

In an August 2010 lecture, Achille Mbembe asked what happens to cultural production and artistic representation after
post-colonialism – what roles do essentialism and authenticity play in these visual circuits? Mbembe’s question
energizes this paper’s central inquiry, as I look to the work of U.S. based contemporary visual artist Sofia Maldonado
to interrogate the ways in which American visual artists play with the codes of racial value and feeling, as their works
of art travel across the globe and the contexts of their reception changes drastically. Maldonado engages with the
intersections of race, visibility, and globalization, both spectacularizing racialized bodies and positioning herself as a
kind of a native informant, speaking authoritatively about and for her subjects. Consequently, the figure and work of
Sofia Maldonado become an ideal optic for considering Mbembe’s question. What is the messy relationship between
transnationalism and essentialism in the landscape of cultural production?

Keeping Track of Time: Applying the Event Indexing Model to Cultivation, Sarah Brookes, Ohio State U; David R.
Ewoldsen, Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

6253. Extended Session: Theory and Research in Memory for Media Content: Cultivation and Beyond
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

Previous research on cultivation theory has failed to examine violent media in terms of narrative event structure. In
the present study, we applied the event indexing model to examine how modern crime dramas and futuristic films
affected perception of violence in the corresponding time periods. The results support most research on cultivation
theory in that those who watched more modern crime dramas evaluated the world today as a more violent place. More
generally, though, the future is expected to have a higher rate of violence than the present, and amount of media use
predicts the difference between perception of violence in the near and distant futures. Implications of this are
discussed, including a possible pessimism bias that exists in regard to perception of violence.
Keeping Up With Internet Research, Ronald E. Rice, U of California - Santa Barbara

Presented at the following event:

5424. Miniplenary: ICA Fellows' Panel
Friday, May 25, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

There is both a trend of, and need for, increasing integration of traditional communication theories and research with
new media, as well as generating new concepts, theories, methods, and insights appropriate to the newness of media.
This also means that periodically we have to step back and get a sense of the topics, theories, and approaches being
applied to this research area. This presentation summarizes the major theoretical approaches to studying social aspects
of the Internet during the period 2000-2009, as published in (mostly) communication journals. Our analysis of 315
social science articles from 46 journals identified a wide variety of primary and secondary theories, and revealed 27
theory themes within six global theory themes. The most frequent global theme was social relations, followed by
media implications/use and understanding, participation, societal, media attributes, and general theory frameworks.
Themes are related across global themes based on shared terms in their articles/theories/concepts. Although much of
the early Internet research was criticized as being a-theoretical we can see that a wide range of primary and secondary
theories, within more inclusive primary and global themes, are being applied to understanding social and
communicative aspects of the Internet.
Keeping in Touch: Corporate Blogs for Building Organizational Public Relationships and Consumer Brand Relations,
Brigitte Arianna Balogh, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

With the continual expansion of social media, organization-public relationships (OPR) have become all the more
important to keep up with consumers. While historically companies have maintained a public relations office, a
relatively new idea of actually building relationships through the media has started to emerge through social media.
Using observations of bloggers through a netnographic study and discourse analysis, this paper confirms that
corporate executive blogs can be used to effectively manage customer relations. Using a sample of 123 blog posts and
comments from the medical, technology, and travel industries, this study validates that OPRs can be maintained and
strengthened through blogs while justifying the time commitment and devotion executives give to keep in touch with
consumers.

6552. Intercultural Communication Division Top Four Papers
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Emerging groups such as Kiva International are using the Internet to make person-to-person microlending available by
matching mostly First World lenders with Third World borrowers. This study analyzes 635 lender profile Web pages
on Kiva.org to identify how Kiva International and its lenders imagine this intercultural, financial exchange through
an analysis of discourses that lenders use in their lender profiles to describe their motivations for lending. This paper
first provides background on Kiva International and then explains the methodological approach. Next, we reveal the
themes that emerged in our analysis of lender profiles, addressing the ways that neoliberal discourses of individualism
and personal responsibility guide lenders’ motivations for participating in Kiva.org’s microlending process. Finally,
we offer discussion and implications of this deployment of neoliberal discourse for intercultural communication, new
media, and global financial exchanges.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Networks of organizations are especially prone to crises because of the often-present information asymmetries
between the firms. This paper proposes that networks of organizations can safeguard themselves from crisis by
developing transactive memory systems within a single organization and between the organizations participating in a
network. Propositions are developed based on a business-to-business environment.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

As the industry of fertility tourism continues to grow in India, there is a population that has not been heard from
enough. The women who work as gestational carriers for international couples have a unique and emergent identity as
they struggle with the paradoxes of their position. This paper explores the voices of a small group of surrogates in
Anand, India.
Language and its Key Role in the Digital Engagement Process of Immigrant Vulnerable Latino Women, Maria Isabel

Presented at the following event:

5255. Extended Session: Talk in and for Action: Connecting Communities Through Discourse
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

In this paper population is portrayed as immigrants but furthermore as a group with different cultural settings, which
presents to them certain barriers in their everyday life particularly when language issues remain unresolved. From a
theoretical background based on the tradition of Ethnography of Communication (Fitch, 2005) this empirical study
seeks to understand how disadvantaged Latin American immigrant women in the UK perceive their face-to-face
interactions in a society they are not able to understand. Furthermore how through the use of new technologies, such
as the Internet, they can access to a navigation device to comprehend the society that surrounds them, providing some
tools that help them to fill the gaps and to cope, with differing degrees of success, in their current situation.
Latin/o Sounds: Music, Industry, and Identity, Christopher Joseph Westgate, Johnson and Wales U

Presented at the following event:

7538. Popular Culture and Media in the Diasporic Landscape
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This article analyzes the Latin/o music industry’s identification with local performers between 1990 and 2000. It
addresses the ways in which local-regional bands such as Los Tigres del Norte voiced political issues of concern—
related to labor and immigration rights—for migrants living throughout the southwest, California and Texas.
Musicians who paid more attention to their instruments than to their appearances generally did not cross-over into
mainstream U.S. popular culture, especially those who sang in the Spanish language and refused to become the
Latin/o equivalents of Anglo pop acts. The article also looks at the general music industry’s move from the midpoint
to the global-visual end of a local-sound-to-global-sight spectrum, first in the case of Selena, then with overt emphases
on body parts and ambiguous performances of ethno-racial identities by Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez during the
Latin boom.

Presented at the following event:

8234. Campaigns and Electoral Behavior
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study explores the influence of primary campaign debates in helping voters make their primary vote choice. The
theoretical perspective of expectancy violation guides our examination, and results confirm that positive and negative
violation through debate performance significantly influences candidate preference. The model of primary debate
effects advanced in this study is built upon the key variables of the primary campaign decision, including assessments
of candidate image, viability and electability. Findings of the current study reveal changes in candidate viability
resulting from watching a primary debate emerges as the variable with the greatest influence on final vote choice.
Learning About Your Employees One Bit at A Time: Increasing Attributional Certainty via Online Information, Caleb
T. Carr, U of Oklahoma; Joseph B. Walther, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

7555. Information Seekers and Their Strategies
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Previous research has rigorously tested traditional (interactive, active, and passive) uncertainty reduction strategies;
yet little research has yet tested how information from the Internet may be used to learn about others to guide initial
impressions. This study examined changes in attributional certainty and attributions about individuals via information
obtained from online sources of information within the context of hiring decisions. An experiment had 127
participants look at dossiers collected on job applicants, in some conditions containing either positively- or negatively-
valenced information about the applicant obtained from the Internet. Results indicated that online information did
significantly increase attributional certainty, and that positively-valenced online information led to more favorable
impressions of the applicant’s perceived fit and employability. Findings are discussed with respect to uncertainty
reduction theory, predicted outcome value theory, and practical implications for job seekers and employers.
Learning From Television: A Panel Study of Knowledge Gaps During the 2010 Swedish Election Campaign, Adam
Shehata, Mid Sweden U

Presented at the following event:

7534. Election Campaign Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study investigates how television, by providing various news and special election programs, influenced the
development of knowledge gaps during the 2010 Swedish national election campaign. Furthermore, this study
accounts for and compares the relative importance of two sources of television-induced knowledge gaps – differential
exposure and differential learning. Analysis of panel survey data gathered during the election campaign shows that
television functioned as a knowledge-leveler among low-educated citizens in a way that narrowed knowledge gaps
between education groups. Additionally, findings reveal that differential learning from television was more important
than selective exposure for closing gaps in knowledge. The results are discussed in light of ongoing media market
changes, and the democratic role of television in high-choice media environments.
Learning From the News Media: A Political Knowledge Meta-Analysis, Margaret Marie Flynn, U of Connecticut

Presented at the following event:

6634. High Density Session: Dynamics of Political Knowledge
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

For years researchers in political science and communication have strived to determine the moderators and mediators
of this process. Studies have focused on measuring exposure versus attention (Beaudoin & Thorson, 2004, Eveland,
2001; 2004), types of outlets (Martinelli & Chaffee, 1995), and individual differences (David, 2009). While there are
a plethora of findings to date no study has examined these results from a meta-analytic perspective. The current meta-
analysis has culled together those important findings so as to further contextualize the process of learning from the
news. A random sample of 19 studies, with 39 effects were coded. The findings point to a linear relationship between
exposure and attention measures. Distinctions between news outlets were also found to be associated with distinctions
in knowledge scores. Differences in knowledge measurements revealed that knowledge structure depth is the most
effective measurement. Finally, the impact that political interest has on political learning is substantial.

Presented at the following event:

8232. Adolescents, Media, and Identity Formation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

McMillin and Fisherkeller (2009) found that television programs played a significant role for teenagers in the
discovery of their identities. In American society, media are cultural drivers. People, especially teenagers, learn many
of society’s rules and norms via the media and the lessons learned help shape their identities. McMillin and
Fisherkeller (2009) also found that teenagers’ identities are grounded in their cultures and backgrounds and they used
television as a coping mechanism to help them understand their cultures, which in turn help shape their identities. The
author of this paper used the critical cultural approach, via semiotics and identity theory, to examine the popular teen
television show iCarly, to demonstrate how media and popular culture aide in adolescent identity development.

U of Michigan

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

New media provide college students with an unprecedented number of ways to spend their unstructured time.
Research on decision making suggests that choosers low in self-control presented with proximate options will eschew
tasks that provide delayed benefit in favor of immediate gratification and will experience guilt when they are aware of
the tradeoff between immediate gratification and long-term benefits. A survey of college students (N = 458) suggests
that users are aware of overuse due to deficits in self-control of two proximate media experience (SNS and online
video) as well as the tendency to engage in unplanned television viewing. Of these, only online video viewing is
associated with less time spend on schoolwork. Though this study is correlational and thus does definitively establish
causality, the evidence suggests that the interaction of the high-choice media environment and users’ self-control may
account for a decline in learning among college students.
Legitimizing Human-Animal Communication: A Call for Philosophical Transformation, Susan Hafen, Weber State U

Presented at the following event:

6136. New Directions in the Theory of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The mounting evidence that many animals have intelligence, emotions, consciousness, and intentionality should have
impact on the field of communication in three important ways. First, we need to reconsider the mythology foreclosing
the possibilities of human-animal communication and extend language to animals acting as subjects with a semiotics
of signs based not on referentiality to other signs but to the natural world. This requires amending our articles,
textbooks, and lectures that define communication by reifying human superiority as primarily indexed by (human)
language and speech. Second, we need to respect and study the lived experience ("local knowledge," both
phenomenological and ethnographic) of humans who interact with their animal companions to share understandings
and exchange meanings. Finally, we need to include within our textbooks on interpersonal and family communication
examples of human-animal communication and relationships as they affect individual well being and family
dynamics. This paper will address each of these goals, ultimately calling for more extensive studies of the efforts
needed for these endeavors to result in the transformation of a more inclusive, interdisciplinary philosophy of
communication.
Lessons From the Private Sector: Using Enterprise Approaches to Define Incentives and Constraints for Web 2.0
Adoption, Jaclyn Lee Selby, U of Southern California

Presented at the following event:

5122. Knowledge and Expertise: Communication in the Management and Performance of Knowledge
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) exhibit high density per capita and proliferate at astonishing rates
throughout the developing world. Despite this growth, these organizations have seen rapid declines in reputation over
the last decade due to ineffective management, poor infrastructure, and low levels of accountability. We suggest that
the implementation of web 2.0 technologies in developing world NGOs may improve organizational effectiveness by
lowering transaction costs and boosting knowledge management. However, although there exists a corpus of market
surveys addressing web 2.0 usage, the available data concerns private enterprise. Consequently, this paper proceeds by
applying theories of diffusion of innovations to private sector data to determine constraints and incentives driving
successful web 2.0 adoption, and then considers these findings in light of studies on developing world infrastructural
and cultural barriers to technology adoption. We conclude by suggesting a theoretical framework to inform
management of web 2.0 implementation in the developing NGO context.

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Drawing on qualitative interviews and organizational documents, we offer a case study of People Centered Economic
and Business Institute (IBEKA) as a local model of how a non-governmental organization can fruitfully mitigate the
challenges of rural development and bridge the communication gap between local communities and outsiders in
Indonesia. Through their implementation of programs in more than 60 remote villages, IBEKA suggests how an
outside development organization can work with rural communities and help the community build rural electrification,
developing their own theory of participatory development and organizational communication in the process. In the
conclusion, we suggest how case studies of local communication practices in developing countries can inform theories
of development and organizational communication.
Let's Blog About Health! Exploring the Persuasiveness of HIV Blogs Compared to Informational HIV Websites,
German Neubaum, U of Duisburg-Essen

Presented at the following event:

7330. Health Literacy and Health Information Processing: Connecting Knowledge to Community Action
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

On HIV blogs, in the sense of personal online diaries, HIV carriers share their intimate thoughts and experiences with
the world. While previous research investigated the reasons for patients to engage in blogging activities, the effects of
reading such diaries on nondiseased recipients are largely unexplored. In an online experiment (N = 261), the current
study tested whether the reception of a HIV blog might have larger persuasive effects on its readers than an
informational HIV website providing the same content. Results showed that although source credibility was perceived
higher when reading the HIV website from an official institution, attitudes and self-efficacy toward condom use of
blog-readers were significantly higher than those of website-readers. Therefore, health messages with a personal and
emotional tone as they appear in patients’ blogs might be an appropriate means to persuade nondiseased readers to
show a preventive health behavior.

8135. State- and Supra-State-Sponsored Strategic Communication I: Theoretical Approaches to Foundations and
Ethics
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

In a post-crisis setting, the effective and strategic use of communication is critical to the success of any efforts
undertaken by UNDP Country Offices, governments and implementing partners to ensure a sustainable recovery that
protects and promotes the well-being of every man, woman and child. This paper explores the strategic importance of
communication in safeguarding the livelihoods and well-being of the young and vulnerable in crisis settings, with a
particular emphasis on female adolescents. The author hopes encourages a greater focus on how communication can
support crisis and post crisis activities – not as external relations to support resource mobilization and partnership
building, but as an approach and discipline within programmes to ensure the goals are achieved efficiently, effectively
and with the greatest participation possible from the people they are meant to support.
Lewinian Theory: A Guiding Force for Hostile Media Effects, Kelly Madden, U of Maryland

Presented at the following event:

6520. New Approaches in Media and Public Opinion Research
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This essay argues for the use of Lewin’s field theory as a metatheory to be applied to the area of Hostile Media
Effects (HME) research. Lewin’s concept of individual life spaces and group conflict provide a blue print for
incorporation of the explanations of the influence of reach and source on hostile media perception and the role of
psychological processes that may lead to initial perceptions of bias in HME research. The application of field theory
to HME may also spark additional research questions and hypotheses related to the effects of different presentations
of news and individuals’ perceptions of the nature of partisanship. This fusion of Lewinian theory with HME research
thus provides a guiding framework for prior and ongoing work on HME and highlights additional paths to test how,
when, and why hostile media perceptions emerge.
Like, Comment, Discuss? A News Value Theory-Based Explorative Study on Factors and Motivators Stimulating
Online Comments, Marc Ziegele, U of Mainz; Oliver Quiring, Johannes Gutenberg U of Mainz

Presented at the following event:

6355. Social Navigation: A New Paradigm for Explaining Audience Selectivity?
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

News factors are found to be influential on how people retain and reconstruct news items (e.g. Eilders, 2006).
However, research has up to now paid little attention to the question how these news characteristics stimulate and
guide user discussions about media content (Lee, & Jang 2010; Southwell, & Yzer, 2009). Particularly when
discussing news items online, it seems likely that news factors are complemented by so-called “discussion factors”
from publicly visible user comments and postings. In our study, we address the question what constitutes the “online
discussion value” of online news. Our presentation shows results from a qualitative investigation (in-depth interviews
with 20 commentators) into the situations in which online users comment news items and the way they ascribe
discussion relevance to news and user posting characteristics. Furthermore, we present findings on users’ situational
motivation and their expected outcomes. Our study aims at integrating different relevance indicators (news factors,
discussion factors, motivators) that constitute the discussion value of online news.
Likeness Made Public: On Cartes de Visite, Circulation, and the Oldness of "New Media", Annie Rudd, Columbia
University

Presented at the following event:

6231. When New Technologies Were Old
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Studies of digital photography tend to stress the digital photograph's liquid, transmissible nature, while analog
photographs are typically characterized as serving a memorial function (and occupying dusty boxes in the closet). But
this distinction is too simple. Where the relationship between new media and the dissemination of the portrait
photograph is concerned, what’s past is prologue: we can see a precursor to the social sharing commonly associated
with digital photography in the rise of the carte de visite a century and a half ago. The carte de visite, a small,
relatively inexpensive photographic portrait intended for circulation, compellingly demonstrates that the public,
circulatory, ephemeral and performative nature of digital photography is not altogether “new.” A popular,
commercially successful and much discussed “new medium” early in photography’s history, the carte de visite helps
to deflate the notion that digital photography has singlehandedly and comprehensively changed the way people use,
and feel about, the medium.

Presented at the following event:

6141. The Ties that Bind: Networks and Network Analysis in Organizational Communication Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This study aims to understand how network structures of collaborative projects are connected to collaborators’
rationales for participating. The focal point for our analysis is GRAND, a scholarly network sponsored by the
Canadian government. Using mixed methods, we first outline some structural characteristics of a given collaborative
project. Subsequently, we look at the correlation between work, want-to-meet, and help ties; and disciplines and
geographic locations. We then identify three types of rationales for the collaborators: practicable-issues, novelty-
exploration and networking. Our findings indicate that some rationales shape the structural characteristics of the
collaborative project, and others have yet to be fulfilled. We argue that institutional intervention may be used to
enhance disperse interdisciplinary collaboration. Furthermore, we offer a theoretical framework that can be used to
understand how scientific teams get together in the first place, and what mechanisms can be used to intervene in these
processes.
Living Foreignness: Potentiality and “Ordinary” Performances of Being/Not-Being, Rahul Mitra, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

5133. "Other" Encounters
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

My aim in this essay is to show how foreignness is continuously performed in “ordinary” life, both reifying and
resisting normative/normalized ways of being. Drawing on Agamben’s concept of potentiality, I outline a
performative framework that sees foreignness-as-potentiality transcending the actuality of community. Foreignness is
layered, acting in and being acted upon various sites, including nationality, but also gender, color, sexuality and
profession. Given my location as a scholar of Indian origin in the U.S. academe, I consider intersecting academic roles
of teacher, student and author, to illustrate the systemic violence wrought by mainstream normalization, which seeks
to forcibly erode ambiguity (and thus foreignness), and the dangers of shock-and-awe spectacle that circumvents
deconstruction. I argue that interventions are performed most effectively when they keep ambiguity intact, subvert
spectacle, and locate foreignness-as-potentiality at the core of community.
Living in the Moment When Every Second Counts: Time, Technology, and Work-Life in Hospital Organizations,
Ashley Katherine Barrett, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

5223. Diverse Facets of ICT Use (CAT High Density Panel II)
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The unique socio-temporal patterns in hospital organizations broaden our understanding of the work-life interference
levels and perceptions of urgency that hospital employee’s experience on a daily basis. Hospital employees also
depend on ICTs to carry out their job responsibilities, and their reliance on these technologies impacts their work-life
boundary management and the rapidity with which they live their lives both in and outside of the hospital. This cross-
organizational study relies on work-life interference and practice theory to predict variables that account for the levels
of urgency and work-life interference perceived by hospital employees. Survey results revealed that scheduling and
linearity significantly predicted work-life interference as well as future orientation and technology use. Email, pager,
computer, and laptop use predicted perceptions of urgency. Implications for workplace temporal norms and ICT use in
hospitals are discussed as well as contributions to work-life interference and practice theory.
Local Experiences, Global Theories: Cultural Relevance in International Communication Research, Chin-Chuan Lee,
City U of Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

5337. The Global-Local Tension in Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Both epistemologically and methodologically, international communication research must reject “the imperialism of
the universal” and “the parochialism of the particular.” Naïve positivism, inherently insensitive to cultural
differences, may have contributed to the dominance of western-cum-universal theory. I plead that we give due
attention to the Weberian-phenomenological approach. Thus, we should start with a critical reflection on local
experiences and then link such experiences to the larger body of the literature, rather than the other way around.
Ultimately, we should strive to establish certain general theoretical perspectives that not only arise from and highlight
cultural specificity, but also represent a broader view of how the world works. If we succeed in establishing such
general perspectives that allow for internal differences, speak with a distinctive cultural accent, and yet transcend
theoretical parochialism, we will be in a strengthened position to maintain an open-minded and mutually enriching
dialogue with the Western literature on an equal footing.

News media’s framing of obesity may affect individuals’ interpretation of public health initiatives that are designed to
address health risk behaviors (Hatley-Major, 2009). The present study examines local news media’s framing of
obesity in newspaper, television, radio, and magazine stories (n=167) preceding and surrounding a city-wide anti-
obesity public health media campaign. Local news media, overall, attributed blame and assigned responsibility for
obesity to individuals (episodic framing). However, government was presented as a contextual agent that is connected
to the obesity “problem” in 40% of all stories. After the launch of the campaign, local news media were significantly
more likely to frame food/beverage companies and champions/advocates as contextual agents, and were less likely to
frame obesity in terms of economic disparities. Researchers conclude that thematic framing of obesity increased after
campaign messages began airing, and suggest that public health officials consider the potential impact of news
framing when designing media interventions.
Locating Localism? Shaping Low-Power Radio in the 1990s-2000s, Christina Dunbar-Hester, Rutgers U

Presented at the following event:

5231. Extended Session: Media Policy Meets Media Studies: Intersecting Histories
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper addresses the discourse of “localism” as deployed by a range of groups in the policy discussion over the
formulation of the low-power FM radio service in the United States in the 1990s-2000s. Building on Star &
Griesemer’s (1989) idea of “boundary objects” that are malleable enough to travel across boundaries in order to
accommodate different institutional and interpretive viewpoints yet robust enough to maintain identity across them,
this paper conceives of “localism” as a “discursive boundary object”. Drawing on a combination of interviews with
advocates and regulators, participant observation with low-power radio activists, and documentary research in relevant
policy discussions, the paper argues that “localism” moved across discourse communities and effaced differences for
groups who otherwise might not have agreed. Actors held localism to promote such disparate goals as disaster
preparedness, left-wing independent news media, Christian broadcasting across the political spectrum, immigrant
community affairs and health media, “community-building”, and “balancing” the hegemony of corporate and
networked broadcasters, among others. More significant than these differing definitions for “localism” was the
rhetorical and discursive work it accomplished. Raymond Williams observed that “community” is a curious concept
in that it may “be the warmly persuasive term to describe an existing set of relationships, or the warmly persuasive
term to describe an alternative set of relationships” (1976: 76). Like community, localism’s unique potency may be
derived from the seeming inability of even actors who opposed the introduction of the low-power FM radio service to
oppose localism outright. Perhaps ironically, locally-held and differing meanings of localism did not prevent its
polemical deployment at the level of national policy.
Long-term Sociopolitical Effects of 9/11 TV Viewing and Conversation in Young Adults Who Were Children in
2001, J. Brian Houston, U of Missouri

Presented at the following event:

6334. Political Communication Effects II
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Using qualitative and quantitative survey data, this research explores what young adults with no direct 9/11
experience who were children in 2001 remember about 9/11 and examines how 9/11 television viewing and
conversation influenced current sociopolitical attitudes. Results found that young adults’ memories of 9/11 mostly
focused on school, 9/11 media coverage, not understanding 9/11, and parent and family 9/11 reactions. Young adults
who watched more television coverage of the 9/11 attacks were found to exhibit lower levels of social trust, while
young adults who had more frequent conversation about 9/11 with their parents were found to have more confidence
in U.S. political institutions to exhibit more support for immigration. Findings illustrate that while the psychological
distress from an event like 9/11 may fade for children not directly affected by the event, the influence of that event on
how young people think about the world may remain.

Presented at the following event:

8221. Addressing the Needs of the Many and the Few: Issues in Media Policy
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study examined whether the universal service policy serves the public interest in terms of providing an essential
means of communications for the public in spite of the intrinsic characteristics of the policy that involve compromises
between what people need and what the industry pursues. The current manifestation of universal service, especially,
the funding mechanisms, was critically analyzed from institutional political economic perspectives. This study
concluded that, despite the suspicion that the universal service policy promoted the corporate interests, the policy was
accepted to the general public as an important, working welfare policy because the government describe it as an
essential indispensible public policy alleviating social inequality. People accept the ideological representation of the
universal service without looking into how the policy is really practiced, indicating how Althusser’s ideological state
apparatus (ISA) works in our society.

History can be told. It can be read, seen, and heard. Or it can be lived. Most historic sites offer static media of all
sorts, such as signs, books, brochures, photographs, and newspaper clippings. Some might also present audio tours, or
a lecture series, or even actors dressed in period costumes. Mobile devices not only can enrich such media ecologies
in dynamic, distinct, and diverse ways -- giving and receiving tailored locative media -- they can change the nature of
learning at such place-based attractions. These devices can bring unprecedented action, interaction, and movement
into the mix of what traditionally has been a passive learning system. My presentation will focus on the powerful
abilities of mobile devices to generate engaging and complex stories, as demonstrated through the findings of the Fort
Vancouver Mobile project. That National Endowment for the Humanities-funded effort generated a custom mobile
app – and flexible research tool – at the most popular regional historic attraction in the Pacific Northwest. The Fort
Vancouver National Historic Site, part of the U.S. National Park Service system, attracts more than 1 million visitors
per year. Fort Vancouver relies primarily on analog media to tell its stories. System-wide, only 22 percent of National
Park Service visitors receive information through personal services, such as lectures, demonstrations, and informal
visitor contacts. The remaining majority -- by far -- instead receives all interpretative material through various media
forms, such as brochures, wayside exhibits, and multimedia displays (Bacher, Baltrus, et al., 2011). My hypothesis is
that if media has been given the job, then mobile devices can do it better, delivering multimedia experiences at
historic sites that surpass their analog brethren as well as traditional media channels in many respects. While various
researchers are studying ways in which mobile devices separate people from their surroundings, my research focuses
on ways in which mobile devices can enable people to blend better into – and navigate more deftly -- our heavily
mediated and digitized physical spaces. Mobile learning, or m-learning, has become a rapidly growing field of study
during the past two decades, reflecting a paradigm that prescribes learning as not happening at predetermined times in
prespecified places. It happens whenever a person breaks from routine, reflects on the current situation, and resolves
to address a problem, share an idea, or gain an understanding (Sharples & Corlett, 2002). Learning can happen
anywhere at anytime, but some places simply are richer than others in terms of that mobile learning potential.
Numerous m-learning studies therefore have been conducted at historic sites, examining the potential for computer-
mediated communication, blended with location-tracking technology, to create dynamic new ways of learning
(examples listed in the works cited). My research takes a next step, by comparing mobile devices to other channels
within a media ecosystem, in situ, to refine best practices for imbuing knowledge, increasing interactivity,
encouraging participation, making digital connections to physical space, and generating motivation for learning about
a topic. Works cited Abowd, G. D., C. G. Atkeson, et al. (1997). "Cyberguide: A mobile context aware tour guide."

Massachusetts

Presented at the following event:

6536. Media and Caring
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper examines the ways that some media makers seek to make non-violent death visible in the 21st century,
through documentary film and photography. In so doing, they propose the end of life as a suitable topic for viewing in
the public sphere. In looking at visual representations of the end of life, I consider a kind of representation ripe for
exploitation and sensationalism, and a kind of subject who is perhaps among the most vulnerable. However, the texts I
describe anticipate these critiques. The representational taboo against depicting the end of life figures into how these
texts are created, such that the stories told are simultaneously about death and about our cultural attitudes about
looking at the end of life. I consider the impulse to lift the shroud of privacy from the end of life in terms of both the
exploitative risks of publicity and the political potential of visibility.

Presented at the following event:

6232. Effects of Sexual Media Content on Adolescents
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

In recent years, vampires have been appearing all over the mass media not only as horrific figures but also as romantic
leads, boyfriends, and lovers. These vampires differ from previous depictions in both their focus on romance and
their primary appeal to teen girl audiences. This paper explores the characteristics of the new “romantic vampire”
narrative and the myths and ideologies incorporated into some of the most popular romantic vampire texts: The
Twilight Saga movies, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. A combined qualitative and quantitative textual analysis
provides evidence for the stability of the romantic vampire narrative across texts and highlights key messages related
to sex and sexuality, relationships, violence and gender roles. Some of these messages include the construction of
“bad boy” masculinity and a consistent depiction of women as victims. In addition, future directions for research on
the possible effects of these texts are explored.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study examines how informational and social gratifications predict user affinity for the Internet and for online
contents. Regression analyses of survey data show that people feel affinity for the Internet and for online contents
mainly for its social functions. The passive social gratification of permanent access to contacts and the active seek of
connections exert similar impacts on affinity for the Internet and for online contents. Information gratification,
however, influences neither Internet affinity nor content affinity after the influence of social gratifications is
controlled. Internet affinity is closely correlated with content affinity, though the two are not the same. Implications
for Internet use and website promotion are discussed.

7320. How We Choose: Factors Affecting Media Selection
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

In the reality TV show ‘Farmer wants a wife’ (FWAW), several farmers are presented with women from the city, from
whom they choose one to meet in person. A camera crew accompanies the couples during everyday life and
documents whether or not they fall in love with each other. Since the presented farmers are neither attractive, nor the
specific guiding theme of farming seemingly appealing for a large audience, the question arises as to why so many
viewers regularly tune in to this TV show. A multi-methodological study combining qualitative interviews with 14
(eight females) viewers and a broad online survey (n=478) was conducted. Schadenfreude, empathy, and the hosting
style appear to be the main motivations to watch FWAW, these motivations being related to gender differences: While
females feel rather sorry for the farmers and female protagonists, males are amused about the multitude of
embarrassing situations presented in the show.
Love to Care: Instrumental Affect and the Visual Culture of Alzheimer's, Scott Selberg, New York U

Presented at the following event:

6536. Media and Caring
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper investigates the slippage between love and care in the visual culture of Alzheimer’s disease in the United
States from 1994-2011. This period saw caregiving rise as a new national concern in narratives of Alzheimer’s, a
trend primarily represented as a crisis of familial and romantic love. This paper charts how love as a biopolitical
category of governmentality functions to ironically strip personhood from the very people it is bestowed upon,
introducing an interpersonal biopolitics of representation, recognition, and reproduction made fundamentally
unavailable to the cognitively disabled person. Furthermore, this trend contributes to traditional mind/body dualisms
whereby science is offered as the solution to the future with love maintained as the answer to an incurable present.
Evidence here—including a seemingly disparate range of popular, scientific, and public media—demonstrates how
affective capacities of individual citizens are systematically harnessed in the exercise of national interest and a
pharmaceutical state.
MTV’s 16 and Pregnant: Symbolic Violence and its Impact on Teenagers’ Identities, Kay-Anne Darlington, Ohio U

Presented at the following event:

8232. Adolescents, Media, and Identity Formation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Teenage pregnancy is a complex and salient issue in the United States, which has the highest adolescent birth rate
among comparable industrialized countries, notwithstanding prevention interventions, including mediated messages.
MTV's 16 and Pregnant is an hour-long documentary series about this controversial issue. It has alternately been
hailed as a helpful public service campaign against teen pregnancy and denounced for the possibility that it glamorizes
teen pregnancy and motherhood. The symbolic aspects of gender domination, especially through media
representations, constitute a significant area for social critique as it will shed light on how these invisible modes of
domination continue in current society. In the form of a critical discourse analysis utilizing a feminist perspective, this
study examines the portrayal of pregnant adolescents in MTV’s 16 and Pregnant with a view to understanding the
presentation of symbolic violence in this media text and its possible impact on their identities.
Mahjong Table: An Ethnographic Study of the Proletarian Public Sphere of Rural China, Jiachun Hong, Southern
Illinois U

Presented at the following event:

7452-23. Political Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Mahjong is one of the most popular games in Rural China. This card game, similar to the Bridge and Poker Texas in
the United States, provides a mean of social gathering for Chinese villagers to share information, discuss current
events, network with each other, develop local identity, and thus constitute what Habermas (1962) called public
sphere. With this ethnographic study, the author tries to investigate what really goes on in a Chinese Proletarian public
sphere (Negt & Kluge, 1993), and specifically clarify 1) whether the Mahjong table is qualified as a public sphere, 2)
how people interact and discuss in the public sphere, and 3) whether the public sphere empower or enslave the
subordinated group. The data comes mainly from a field study in a village of southern China, conducted in August and
October of 2003. Ethnography and in-depth interviews are used as the main methods to collect the data. What the
study found is that, different from the western conceptualization of the public sphere as a place for equal access to
critical-rational discussion of public issues, Chinese public sphere has its own features. The mahjong-centered public
sphere successfully brings the subordinated groups, such as the old, the female, and the people with illness back to the
public life. Mahjong as a game has its own referential world which disregards the hierarchy of everyday life (Roger,
1961). Through equalizing accessibility, dispreviledging authority, disciplining deviants, and socializing new
members, the public sphere is able to work as the training house for discursive practices of the uneducated villagers.
In addition, Chinese public sphere demonstrates a different discourse style from the western one. When the western
public sphere promotes the rationalist style characterized with representational accuracy, logical coherence, and a
dispassionate contestation of opinions, Chinese public sphere emphasizes the subtle, indirect and nonrational everyday
communication strategies. What’s more, the sphere of the subordinated group represents the withdrawal from the civil
society on the one hand, while on the other hand, it enables people to rehearse and develop discourses about their own
interests without the supervision of the dominant group (Fraser, 1990). This study reveals that the concept of the
public sphere is culturally and racially sensitive, and comparative studies about the public spheres in different cultural
contexts should be done to rich the public sphere theory.
Majority Rule or a Minority Right? Discursive Orientations Toward Democratic Ideals in a U.S. Public Hearing,

Presented at the following event:

7535. Discursive Challenges of Expression in Public Meetings
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The present study examines the ways in which participants in a US state-level public hearing on a bill to legalize
same-sex civil unions orient themselves to a fundamental dilemma between democratic ideals. Democratic practices
are shaped by participants’ normative beliefs about what democracy ought to be (Tracy, 2007; Gastil, 1992).
However, the question of the extent to which democracies ought to give primacy to the ideal of majority rule or to the
ideal of protecting minority rights is a dilemma that’s fundamental to our American democracy (cf. Sartori, 2001;
Madison, n.d.; Tocqueville, 2004; Mill, 2011) and still evident in democratic discourse today. In an 18-hour public
hearing held by the Hawaii state legislature in 2009, 176 participants testified in a debate over same-sex civil unions
that in many ways pitted the democratic ideal aligned with the will of the majority against the democratic ideal aligned
with the protection of minority rights. In our analysis, we work with transcripts of this hearing to highlight the
discursive moves by which speakers orient themselves to these principles. By examining keywords, collocates, and
discursive features related to their argument building, we show the larger moves and overarching strategies speakers
in the Hawaii hearing employed in order to orient themselves toward majority rule or minority rights while arguing for
and against civil unions. Our analysis reveals how citizens use selected discourse strategies to give precedence to one
democratic ideal over another from which stances on same-sex civil unions follow.
Making Corrections Work: Role of Partisanship, Perceptions of Bias, and Message Length in Increasing Recall of
Political Facts, Ashley Muddiman, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

6634. High Density Session: Dynamics of Political Knowledge
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Previous research has highlighted the difficulty in stopping the spread of misinformation. The current study
investigates the role of perceptions of bias, participants’ partisanship, and length of messages in countering political
misinformation. An experiment was conducted to compare three groups: a control group, a group exposed to short
messages evaluating political statements and a group exposed to long messages. The results suggest that (1) higher
perceptions of bias in corrective messages led to decreased recall of political information, (2) political partisans were
likely to recall information that aligned with their party beliefs, and (3) longer corrective messages decreased
perceptions of bias, increased the number of correct political facts recalled, and, in some cases, moderated the effect
of partisanship. This study advances understanding of what helps people recall correct information so that scholars
and journalists can better stop the spread of political smears.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Social networking sites (SNS) provide the environment to allow people to build a web of social connections. Since
their introduction in the 90s, millions of people have been relying on SNS to meet their socialization needs. Yet,
research on the underlying dimensions of social gratifications is limited. The objective of this study is to uncover the
different dimensions of social gratifications and its effects on the use of SNS. We studied Renren, the most popular
SNS in China and 318 Renren’s users participated in our online survey. Our results indicate that social gratifications
comprise of three dimensions: professional, emotional and personal socialization. Interestingly, we found that
different profiles of users (age, location, number of online friends) were seeking for different dimensions of social
gratifications. Furthermore, our results indicate that Renren’s users were more likely to be motivated by personal and
emotional socialization rather than professional socialization.

The payment industry, distinct from banking and other more regulated financial services, is big business. By 2005, the
payment industry was larger than than the total size of the biotech industry, the music industry, the microchip
industry, the electronic game industry, Hollywood box office sales, or worldwide venture capital investments. The
alternative-- online and mobile-- payments industry has been currently measured at $740 billion and has been
projected to increase $2,700 billion by 2015. These new alternative payment systems, particularly so-called "mobile
money," have become the primary means through which philanthropic and development organizations have sought to
achieve “financial inclusion” for the world's poor and “unbanked." In addition, established companies and start-ups
across from the media and financial services industries have begun to jockey for dominance to provide mobile money
services in the United States and other wealthy countries. Nevertheless, there has been little scholarly attention paid to
payments. It is a knowledge that is still largely proprietary, distributed across the expensive pages of industry reports
written by consultants. This project is an attempt to uncover aspects of the socio-technical practice of mobile payment
systems through a discourse analysis of the marketing of 15 service providers. Government regulators don't have a
neat category for this kind of non-bank payments processing services, and there is very little consumer protection for
any such service. Although mobile money services may use different software interfaces, special hardware credit card
swipers for smartphones, or novel transmission mechanisms like Near Field Communication (NFC), all “run on the
rails,” as economic anthropologist Bill Maurer puts it, of either the credit card networks, which leverage costly
merchant fees, or, like PayPal, the Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic network. Indeed, even BitCoin, the
insurgent “anarcho-libertarian digital crypto-currency,” requires a third-party private payment system that uses the
ACH to move dollars in and out of the “BitCoin economy.” In addition, most have a business model that augments
transactional fees with locative and purchase history data-mining. When protocols and platforms are largely
homogeneous, the discourses that infuse them with shared meaning become even more important. How do companies
attempt to naturalize mobile payment systems? How do they attempt to create distinctions between their service and
traditional modes of payment? How do they offer to form a geography of transaction and opportunities for local
economic development? How do they attend to or obscure privacy, privatization, and other political dimensions of
payment?

What has caused the newspaper crisis? What consequences has this crisis had for journalism and society? How can
this crisis be resolved? This paper analyzes the answers provided by authors to these three crucial questions. In
addition, it critically examines current work on the newspaper crisis by assessing the main spatial and temporal
coordinates in which this research has been situated, the theories and methods employed by authors, and the analytical
tropes deployed. Building on this assessment of existing research, the paper outlines an agenda for future work that
seeks to overcome some of the limitations found in the literature and to propel the investigation of the crisis of
newspapers forward.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Workplace flexibility is a key issue in contemporary organizations, especially as they rely on members’ work from
remote locations and create policies to accommodate work-life balance. We contend that five tensions underlie the
standard practice of flexible work arrangements (FWAs): variable versus fixed arrangements, autonomy versus control
of work, negotiable versus non-negotiable practices, equitable versus inequitable policies, and permeable versus
impermeable boundaries. Managing these tensions often leads to ironic outcomes in which flexibility increases rather
than reduces work-life conflict. We recommend investigating and potentially implementing alternative approaches to
achieving work-life balance. Adaptability is offered as an alternative philosophy that holds these tensions together or
manages them through creating new values in the workplace. We examine how adaptability programs create different
practices for addressing the contradictions that surface in FWAs, and then we explore how two organizations use
adaptability principles to address these tensions, reframe them, or attempt to transcend them.

Presented at the following event:

5527. Innovation and Organizational Change in Journalism
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Magazines in Finland have started to change their patterns of organizing editorial workflows towards an Anglo-
American way of producing content. By this we mean that strong editorial control of planning and editing is replacing
an individualistic model of work. Our research shows how working processes are changing from emphasizing an
individual journalist’s independence to a systemic planning and editing work process with a strong division of labor.
This change is driven by the increasing competition for readers’ time and money, which has led to more detailed
targeting of magazine audiences. This has meant a shift toward “management of journalistic creativity” and stronger
ties among management, advertising, and editorial offices. We present a case study of a developmental intervention
conducted by us in the Finnish weekly Family Magazine, which changed its work process during 2007-2008. We
followed up and reviewed the sustainability of the change in 2009-2010.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Team-based knowledge workers face increasingly complex dilemmas in their work due to their need to manage large
amounts of information and increasingly busy work schedules, the fact that they manage information and relationships
through multiple media channels, and their need to accomplish and balance multiple goals. This is likely to motivate
political behavior to navigate such dilemmas; however, research on technology use in teams has only given cursory
attention to the role played by impression management in knowledge work. Based on data from 91 semi-structured
interviews and observations from six project teams operating in the consumer health, insurance, and engineering
industries located in Sweden and the United States, we explore three impression management dimensions (task
management, image management, and relationship management) motivating media use. We further unpack how these
dimensions are adopted through four political tactics used dialectically by managers and team members to
differentially impact media use. Our findings reveal that managers and subordinates take advantage of the affordances
of various media to accomplish diverse and often dialectically opposed role-based goals. We discuss how these tactics
complement and extend theory on impression management, knowledge work and media use in teams.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper explores the multiple dimensions of participation in the media, discussing its implications for policy and
practice that support and contribute to the diversity of local broadband markets. Departing from an overview of the
literature of community development and participatory communication, the author discusses various definitions of
participatory practice for community building and democratization, seeking more clarity and specificity about what
public participation means and what it may entail in networked media environments.

Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study examined both main and interaction effects of depression and different types of e-health interventions on
breast cancer patients’ perceived health care competence, emotional, and social well-being over time. The three e-
health interventions -- Full Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS), CHESS plus a human
Mentor, who is a cancer information specialist and Internet Only as control – provided varying degrees of interactivity
and presence. A total of 328 women with breast cancer participated in one of the interventions for a 6-month period.
Women were divided into two groups based on their reported levels of depression. For perceived health care
competence and social well-being, the results revealed significant interaction effects for intervention type by
depression by time, such that breast cancer patients with high levels of depression have benefited most regarding these
health outcomes in the CHESS plus Mentor intervention over the 6-month intervention. For emotional well-being,
there were significant interaction effects between intervention type and depression, regardless of time. These findings
can guide e-health intervention developers by offering practical advice on how to design an effective e-health
intervention that will increase psychosocial health benefits of cancer patients with depression over time.

6128. Cross-National Comparisons of Political News
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study aims to demonstrate how a cross-national analysis of election news coverage can serve as a meaningful
example for characterizing different styles in political news reporting. In 8 countries, the ‘flagship’ evening news
bulletins from two different broadcasters – usually one from a public and one from a commercial channel, were
selected. All stories that were clearly election-related and aired in the last four weeks before polling day went into the
analysis. In total, 1845 stories were coded, constituting 59.4 net program hours. Based on multivariate data analysis,
contours of three different types of political reporting styles emerge: a strongly interventionist approach (prototype:
USA), a moderately interventionist approach (prototype: Denmark) and a non-interventionist approach (prototype:
Italy). The underlying correspondence yielded a two-dimensional solution which indicates that political reporting
styles can be differentiated along two perspectives: (1) whether election news coverage is dominated by journalistic
voice or political voice, and (2) whether candidates run more controlled campaigns or more interactive campaigns.
While we find evidence for the emergence of a transnational news culture, our findings also show that national
contexts still matter the most in explaining reporting patterns. The final mapping shows important differences but also
remarkable similarities to the infamous triangle of Hallin and Mancini (2004).

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper presents a comparative analysis of 311 online news stories collected for three months from Al Jazeera and
BBC African news front pages with respect to both, their text-visual valence, and the overall portrayal of Sub-Saharan
Africa. Results showed text-visual complementarities in news reporting were primarily consonant, though a
considerable portion of news reporting was dissonant implying that what is textually presented can differ in tone from
what is visually shown. Besides, Al Jazeera and BBC online news sites portrayed Sub-Saharan Africa negatively both
in textual and visual modalities, suggesting, in line with previous research, that negative events are considered more
newsworthy than positive developments in reporting the subcontinent. Furthermore, and contrary to two of our
hypotheses, we could not find any indication for a “pro African bias” by Al Jazeera. On the contrary, negatively toned
reporting, both textually and visually, was even more dominant on the Al Jazeera website than on the BBC website.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

As academic studies and political commentators try to make sense of grassroots organizing efforts, protests like those
that took place in Spain during the summer of 2011 are continuously being rebranded –15-M Movement,
#spanishrevolution – and boxed into didactic causal frameworks. However, rather than looking outward – attempting
to lay additional claims on the “true motivations” of the protesters – this study focuses on the voices and stories of the
people in the middle. Stemming from a grounded theory research tradition, this study invoked in-depth and group
interviews, community mapping and observation. It also developed a participatory technique – which we called the
‘story graph’ – that provided twenty-five respondents with a blank slate upon which to ‘map’ their story. By bringing
academic conversations of space, tactical carnival, revolution, and social change to the streets of Barcelona, this study
contributes empirical research on the role of social media, the person and the “liberated space” in global movements.

6340. Fields of Production: Logics and Practices of the Media Industries
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Cultural industry workers sometimes compromise the values and tastes that are important parts of their artistic
identities in order to accommodate commercial demands. Using ethnographic data from fieldwork at a reality
television production company, I describe two identity work strategies, distancing and evaluative tweaking, that
workers use to maintain their artistic integrity despite producing work that does not meet their standards of quality. In
the context of reality television production, workers who prefer to portray “real” and “authentic” situations employ
identity work strategies to maintain artistic integrity when distorting reality to create the drama and conflict they
consider marketable. Existing research exploring tensions between creativity and commerce has generally overlooked
managers’ subjectivities. When managers and employees share common artistic values and tastes, managers use
distancing and evaluative tweaking to simultaneously do identity work and regulate their employees’ identities
interactionally through talk. I discuss implications of these strategies for managerial power.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Television has grasped a dominant place in the field of media in Bangladesh and TV news has become the most
popular TV show. With the unprecedented expansion of TV media industry and rise of market-oriented journalism,
the political inclination and market interference have made the credibility of TV news questionable. But is there any
connection between market-orientation and credibility? The first segment of this paper inquires the theoretical
correlation between market-oriented journalism and credibility of TV news that leads to an empirical survey of
perceived credibility in the second part. Four factors of credibility including independence, social role, objectivity and
source expertise was analyzed using frequency analysis. The result shows that there is a dialectic relationship between
market-oriented journalism and credibility of TV news that requires further investigation. Within the complex
perception of market-orientation there is room to improve the credibility of TV news.

7532. Negotiating Parenting in the Age of Ubiquitous Media
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Infant/toddler-directed DVDs have become commonplace in American homes, as research has shown that many
parents believe these products are educational. Most of these DVDs carry direct claims or implied cues of educational
benefit, despite complaints about their misleading nature. This experiment tested the impact of DVD brand name,
educational claim specificity, and parents’ regulatory focus on parents’ perceptions of educational value and purchase
intentions. Parents reacted similarly to specific and ambiguous educational statements, but were more likely to say
that the DVD had educational value when the brand name had an educational cue. An interaction suggested that the
effect of the claim outcome specificity depended on the claim verb specificity. Parents with a strong promotion focus
had higher perceptions of educational value and stronger desires to purchase the DVD; these differences were
especially pronounced with the DVD brand name was non-educational. Implications for policy and further research
are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

As a gateway to Mainland China and as a regional tastemaker, Hong Kong serves as an important strategic and
symbolic market for Hollywood films. However, it remains a marginal market due to the territory’s small population
and competitive film environment. Based on a textual analysis of outdoor marketing materials and their place in the
urban landscape, and supplemented by interviews with Hollywood marketers and their Hong Kong distribution
partners, this study explores the ways in which campaigns are designed to strategically balance localized appeals with
(more economically practical) standardized approaches. Findings suggest that the small market size of Hong Kong
leads to a widespread adoption of standardized materials, but that distributors, audiences, and the local environment
encourage localized readings through strategic release timing, placement, formatting, language, promotions and
installations.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Through primary document research this presentation attempts to historicize Marshall McLuhan's medium theory by
looking at the period of intellectual development that directly preceded his major works of the 1960s. It argues that
McLuhan's philosophy originated as a media literacy research project underwritten by a federal Title VII grant for the
National Association of Educational Broadcasters, a prominent American media advocacy group. McLuhan was
tasked with developing a syllabus for 11th graders regarding new media and education. Although McLuhan exhibited
progress with his research, the project was ultimately shelved by the organization. By 1962 McLuhan had removed all
mentions of education and retitled his manuscript "Understanding Media". This presentation further attempts to
introduce previously unexamined concepts that McLuhan developed for the purpose of educational technology
research.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am

To extend past research on interpersonal communication and campaign effects, we hypothesized that mass media anti-
drug campaign message exposure indirectly affects visiting anti- and pro-drug websites through targeted parent-child
and friend-to-friend communication about drugs, as well as through having drug-related discussions during organized
group activities. Second, we posited that such interpersonal communication indirectly affect drug use by visiting anti-
and pro-drug websites. Using self-reported longitudinal data from 2,749 youth, we found that as youth reported
higher levels of mass media anti-drug campaign message exposure, they were more likely to talk to friends about the
bad consequences of drugs, how to avoid drugs, and anti-drug ads. In turn, however, they were more likely to visit
pro-drug websites, and subsequently, use cigarettes.

The “Singapore Story”, as a master narrative, has been employed by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP)
government to legitimise a corporatist from of governance where an enlightened elite manage and extract the best
from an otherwise racially and religiously fractious society. This paper argues that legitimation of corporatism through
the Singapore Story is becoming increasingly challenged as the Singapore Story itself is losing what Walter Fisher
would describe as narrative fidelity. Large elements of the Singapore Story has little resonance with many
Singaporeans as lived reality no longer coheres with the story that attempts to make sense of it.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper describes the creation, implementation, and assessment of responses to media literacy lessons on gender
stereotypes and bullying. As part of a larger media literacy curriculum, a group of 65 sixth-grade students participated
in two interactive units regarding gender stereotypes and bullying in the media. Grounded theory and the constant
comparison method was used to identify themes that emerged in their responses to homework questions asking them
to apply concepts introduced in the lessons to the media they consumed in their daily lives. Such themes demonstrated
both direct application as well as more novel interpretations of concepts introduced in the curriculum and pointed to
their capacity to understand, apply, and in some cases critique media content and the decision-making that shapes it.
Results are discussed in context of media education and other efforts to enhance the critical thinking of young people
regarding important topics in media.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Violent portrayals are pervasive in cinematic entertainment, not only in suspense genres such as action, thriller and
horror but also quite often in comedies and dramas. A large body of research has dealt with the appeal and potential
negative effects of violent portrayals, with a special focus on horror films. This paper aims to broaden the scope from
extreme and apparently meaningless forms of violence in horror films to more mundane forms of violent portrayals in
other genres that are less well researched. Preliminary results of a study on individuals' perceptions of violence in
action, thriller, horror, drama and war films indicate that perceived violence was related to more negative evaluations
of movies, whereas perceptions of suspense and meaningfulness were related to more positive evaluations.
Moderation analyses suggest that negative perceptions of violence were attenuated when violence was perceived in a
meaningful and thought-provoking context. The results are discussed with regard to the role of cognitive and
emotional challenge in entertainment experience.

The aim of this study was to examine three subscales in a political knowledge test administered to high school
students immediately after a November, 2010 state election. Civics, Issue, and Political Player knowledge were
related in different patterns to the variables that have most commonly been identified as stimuli for political learning:
school-based political experiences, political discussions with others, news media exposure, and time spent with
entertainment television. The results support Delli Carpini and Keeter’s (1996) argument that it is not theoretically
useful to employ political knowledge scales that include a variety of unrelated questions about government structure
and function, campaign issues, and candidates.

Tailoring, the development of health messages based on theory-informed assessment of key psychosocial variables
that influence a prescribed behavior, has been gaining ground as an effective health education approach. The efficacy
of this approach is based on the assumption that increasing personal relevance motivates greater elaboration, which is
an important precondition for persuasion. Little research has been conducted to tease out the direct effects of tailoring
on message processing. This study examines the effects of a tailored health education site on participants’ evaluations
of and elaboration of health messages. A total of 151 teens were randomly assigned to explore a tailored website or a
non-tailored website on adolescent sexual health and decision making. Results of the experiment indicated a
statistically significant main effect for condition (tailoring) after controlling for situational motivation and need for
cognition, F (1,147) = 4.03, MSE = 1.867, p = 0.047, partial η2 = 0.27. Further evaluations and implications for future
research are discussed.

Psychometric analysis of the Emotional Tone Rating Scale (ETRS) was completed using ratings of naïve listeners who
evaluated staff-resident communication in three nursing homes. Inter-rater reliability was high with ICC (2, 1) for
agreement = 0.95 and consistency = 0.95. Principal axis factor analysis revealed two factors, person-centered
communication and controlling communication that explained 84.8% of the variance. “Person-centered”
communication included seven descriptors (items) with loadings ranging from 0.84 to 0.98 and a coefficient alpha of
0.98. “Controlling” communication included five items that loaded from -0.63 to .99 with a coefficient alpha of 0.94.
These factors were negatively correlated p = -0.64 and demonstrated good ranges, standard deviations, and high item-
total correlations. “Person-centered” correlated with higher resident engagement in conversation in contrast to
“Controlling.”

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Using a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) framework, this manuscript examines the construct validity of two measures
of active listening, one purported to measure verbal listening responses and the other purported to measure various
nonverbal immediacy cues that signal effective listening. These scales are used frequently to operationalize
comforting behaviors used during supportive episodes, and to discriminate different degrees of good and bad
supportive listening. The results of our study urge empirical caution to these claims: Although tests of measurement
models and measurement reliability provide evidence that all scales are internally consistent and construct valid, the
MTMM correlations show little association between self- and other-report measures as well as these measures and
actual behavior during a supportive conversation.

The current study examines the impact of organizational leadership style and employee empowerment on employees’
perception of organizational reputation. The results showed that transformational leadership positively influences
employees’ perception of organizational reputation, not only directly but also indirectly, through empowering
employees. Transactional leadership has a significant negative direct effect on employees’ perception of
organizational reputation. Transformational leaders are more likely to delegate power to employees and involve them
in decision making than transactional leaders. Employees who feel more empowered in terms of competence and
control have a more favorable evaluation of organizational reputation. Significant theoretical and practical
implications are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

According to various literatures, commercialization will inevitably pull the media away from its traditional, historical
association with political groups and political institutions and shift it toward the ambit of commerce and trade. This
paper argues that this may not be the case, notably in the non-Western world. In fact, commercialization provides a
range of opportunities for the state to intervene more deeply and to strengthen its impact and influence on the media
and on its content. We will be using the experiences of two countries, China and South Africa, the economic and
political powerhouses in Asia and Africa respectively, to illustrate this phenomenon. In spite of their differences,
commercialization has produced strikingly similar patterns of heightened or sustained state intervention in both
countries.

This investigation incorporates the Orientation1-Stimulus-Orientation2-Response (O1-S-02-R) model on the

antecedents and outcomes of media complementarity in health information seeking. Performing a secondary analysis
of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Puerto Rico data, it was observed that education, gender,
age, and Internet use were positively associated with media complementarity of health information seeking, which in
turn, was positively associated with health knowledge, and health knowledge was positively associated with health
behavior. This study extends the research in media complementarity and health information use; it provides an
integrative social psychological model empirically supported by the HINTS Puerto Rico Data.

New media have made available a wide range of platforms and content choices. However, audiences cope with
abundant choices by using more narrowly defined repertoires. Unfortunately, we know little of how users create
repertoires across media platforms. This study uses factor analysis to identify user-defined repertoires from data
obtained by following 495 users throughout an entire day. Results indicate the presence of four repertoires that are
powerfully tied to the rhythms of people's daily lives. These were in turn explained by a combination of factors such
as audience availability and individual demographics.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This paper discusses contrasting forms of “public sphere” as manifested in the U.S.-Mexico media reporting. The use
of the concept of “public sphere” permits the exploration of discourse and visibility, dialogue of interests and conflicts
even in transnational landscapes. This paper builds on previous research -covering the 1990s- discussing border
viewpoints that dominated San Diego/Tijuana reporting: the representation of the border as bridge and boundary.
However, as I will argue, during the past decade the kind of reporting that have continued as “border” issues have
been maintained and reinforced in the political arena –declarations between public officials- but with a narrower
scope clustered around certain themes that invariably include crime and violence in a zone of “war”. Comparative
analysis of the media coverage in both cities suggest the changing Mexican and U.S. federal politics as well as
significant events along the shared border. This paper is based on content analysis (2001-2011) of U.S.-Mexico border
reporting in regional newspaper, The San Diego Union-Tribune (San Diego, USA), and La Frontera (Tijuana,
Mexico), as well as examples drawn from television news on both sides using textual analysis.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study compares how students use newspapers across digital and print formats and examines reader preferences.
Studies have shown that when using online versions of newspapers, readers were less likely to follow “media cues” –
aspects of a newspaper, such as story placement, headline size, story size, or photographs, which cue readers that a
story is important. This study compared use and preference of three formats of the New York Times – the traditional
print version, online, and a “reader” program called the New York Times Reader. The researchers found that while
students were more likely to follow media cues using the print version of the New York Times than they were using
the online version, they were more likely to follow these cues using the NYT Reader than the online version.
Participants showed a strong preference for digital formats and overwhelmingly rejected the print version of the New
York Times in comparison. The NYT Reader was the format most preferred by users even though they claimed the
navigational experience was more similar to using a print paper than when they used the online version. This suggests
the tactile nature of ink on paper and the student’s familiarity with computer interfaces are likely reasons the
participants rejected the print paper but most preferred the digital format that replicated the print paper reading
experience. Previous research that revealed the loss of control of gatekeepers in online formats should revisit the
topic using different formats to attempt to determine what is most likely to attract readers to newspapers in their
various formats.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The use of the term neoliberalism is sometimes criticised, in media and communication studies and elsewhere, for
encouraging a formulaic mode of critical analysis where everything is subsumed into a suspiciously coherent
neoliberal story. This paper interrogates how the concept is often articulated, while nonetheless arguing that
neoliberalism – or what I prefer to call neoliberalization – is a crucial analytical term for critically understanding the
hegemonic constitution of the social order. The argument focuses on the often banal role of neoliberalized logics and
practices in the articulation of what Meyer (2002) characterises as a time of politically repressive “media democracy”.
Grounded in an illustrative analysis of a 2011 media-political event in Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper highlights
paradoxical and messy dimensions of neoliberalized hegemony that are sometimes occluded in critical discourses. The
paper concludes with a brief reflection on the place of agents’ self-interpretations in critical analysis.

In the School 2.0 era in Hong Kong, school students are now using laptop computers and iPads in classroom to
explore and discuss media issues. Based on the innovation theory, this study investigates this new way of teaching and
learning. It aims at examining the effectiveness and challenges of learning media literacy through new media
technologies. Findings show that students were highly motivated by the new media and expressed great interest in the
media literacy curriculum. It did not only enhance students’ media literacy but also strengthen their 4C skills (Critical
thinking, creative, communication and collaboration skills). Using new information technology to teach media
education is effective because the new curriculum can create “meaning” and “relevance” to the Net Generation
students.

The relationship between media use and body dissatisfaction has been a topic of interest for a number of years.
However, the role media exposure plays in body dissatisfaction within the context of other social influences remains
unclear. This study attempts to examine the connection between media use and body dissatisfaction by juxtaposing the
media with the internal factor of self-esteem and other social factors such as peer and parental attitudes. A sample of
285 female undergraduates completed measures of media exposure, comparisons with media figures, self-esteem,
parental and peer attitudes toward body shape, and peer comparisons, as well as internalization of the thin-ideal and
body dissatisfaction measures. Overall, the study found that comparison to media figures is associated with
internalization of the thin ideal but the relationship was not as strong as peer attitudes and self-esteem. Contrastingly,
peer comparisons and self-esteem were observed to be the strongest indicators of body dissatisfaction. These findings
suggest that resonance and mainstreaming may be best suited for understanding the internalization of the thin ideal
while social learning theory may be most appropriate for understanding body dissatisfaction. Furthermore,
social/environmental influences and self-esteem proved to be the most significant indicators of body dissatisfaction
which suggests the indirect effect of media messages on body dissatisfaction is an important area for further
examination.

Among the main worries of normative theories of communication, two issues related to public opinion receive special
attention: the possibility of a rational public debate and objectivity in news media as well as in the public sphere. In
their postulates of how media should function in a democratic society, these theories sometimes ignore and others
underestimate some characteristics of human nature, such as our cognitive system, and the effects of media on our
representation of reality. The human cognitive system is vulnerable to media effects and its public outcomes are
vulnerable to social influence. Knowing the weaknesses of our cognitive system in relation to media messages and
social influence is a necessary step in trying to mitigate the effects of intentional frames and social pressure on
individuals’ opinions, moving one step forward in our search for a participatory democracy.

5127. Implications of Changing Narratives in Television News
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In the Media Equation, Reeves & Nass (1996) argue that one reason TV news is credible is the presence of a reporter
onscreen. This study examines whether this standard equally applies to online news video. Many online news videos,
especially from organizations, such as newspapers, which are less familiar with video, lack the onscreen reporter
typical in broadcast news. Using the concepts of social presence and coorientation, this study relies on an online
experiment to test whether having a reporter present in an online video increases the credibility respondents gave it.
The study’s key finding is that the presence of a visible reporter in an online news video does not lead to increased
credibility. It does, however, increase social presence and coorientation over videos without, which could lead to a
stronger connection and closer association.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Studies in different political media systems have shown that the media can place new topics on the political agenda
and can influence the most important political issues of the day. However knowledge about the cross-national
contingencies of the political agenda-setting power of the media is limited. This study therefore compares the
perceptions of journalists on the political agenda-setting power of the mass media in Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom (eight parliamentary democracies with varying
media systems and political systems). Building on a power balance perspective, the paper tests four hypotheses about
the combined influence of the autonomy of the media system (audience reach of political news and political control
over content ) and the concentration of power in the political system (strength of political parties, concentration of
executive power) on the agenda-setting power of the media. Journalists perceive most media influence on the political
agenda in Norway and Sweden and least in Spain. The results show that media system characteristics matter for the
agenda-setting power of the media, but these influences are secondary to political system influences.

Presented at the following event:

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The quality of political news coverage has been found to be deteriorating under pressure of commercialization
because of changing norms and practices of the media. Studies on the use of journalistic schemata reflecting these
norms and practices, i.e. personalized news coverage, non-substantive news coverage, negative news coverage, and a
narrow issue agenda, have found an increase in the use of these schemata in the United States. This study shows that
in the Netherlands, a country with a different media system, the use of these journalistic schemata has declined. This
study additionally shows that the use of these different schemata co-occurs, which suggests that their use is driven by
the same media logic. Finally, the study reveals that the differences in the use of these schemata between media are
limited, indicating that this logic is shared by different media.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

In this study, strategies involving use of message relevance and formatting cues were tested with the objective of
enhancing media multitasking performance. Three memory measures, free recall, aided/cued recall, and recognition
were used as dependent variables for the study. The results indicated that multitasking was associated with reduced
memory performance for all the dependent measures. Similarly, the performance for high relevance messages was
significantly higher than the performance for low relevance messages across all memory measures. Additional
analyses revealed that multitasking might contribute to more confusion and performance errors. People made more
errors during recognition tasks during multitasking. Similarly, more people made errors in free recall tasks during
multitasking. Overall, findings suggested that multitasking might have more negative influence on message processing
in some contexts than others. The implications of findings and future scope of research have also been presented.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Media multitasking is becoming the modal form media consumption, with nearly half of internet usage occurring
concurrently with television usage for younger individuals under 30. To date little research has explored patterns of
visual attention between simultaneously presented media or what elements trigger or inhibit attentional switching. A
series of lab studies combining video observation with eyetracker analysis in both naturalistic and controlled viewing
environments illustrates a lack of conscious insight into media multitasking behavior with participants drastically
under-estimating their switching activity; most gazes on either media last mere seconds. For content coded stimuli
elements in the controlled study eyetracker analysis reveals little relationship between certain visual stimuli’s ability
to encourage switching towards a media and the same stimuli’s ability to hold attention within that media. Overall
results highlight the automatic elements of visual attention in multi-tasking environments and illuminate a lack of
conscious control over the process.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Media policy researchers increasingly face pressures to prove their relevance by contributing to the latest
developments and policy problems. As a result, we often end up participating in the same ongoing policy processes
that we research. The implications of this dual relationship with our object of study are rarely thematized. Ideas travel
between contexts of research and policy, and the sources we rely on are not independent from our intervention in the
field. This creates “reactive effects”, where the research process affects that which we are trying to study. To
recognize these effects, we need to study how ideas from our research get into policy-making processes, and how
participation in these processes also influences our research choices. When independent research institutions
experience financial cuts and simultaneously attempt to prove their “value” vis-à-vis funding bodies, dealing with
these issues in a critical way represents a pertinent task for our field.

In highly-wired Singapore, the government has introduced various initiatives to encourage more young people to
acquire media production skills to bolster the country’s growing investment in this sector. This paper reflects on the
efficacy of these initiatives and their implications for the development of youth media production in communities in
Singapore. We argue that while state-led media production education programmes have enhanced young people’s
awareness of and competencies for media production, these should be complemented by private-sector-run
programmes which afford young Singaporeans more room to exercise their creativity. We further assert that the
infusion of the existing national curriculum with media production education would be best served by a shift in the
pedagogical approach that underscores the current education system, from one which is more hierarchical and
individually oriented to one that is more heterarchical and collaborative in nature.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Whereas studying communities leans back on a long tradition, it has changed considerably in the recent years with the
advent of a surplus of new kinds of community, which are to be found online. But these online communities turn out
as challenging to study as offline communities – albeit their difficulties relate to their medium (the Internet) and thus
confront social scientists with new problems (of which are most of a methodological and technological nature). This
paper takes up recent developments in online communities by using a methodological approach and focusing on the
connections that one can establish between the quantitative software widely applied by Linguistics scholars and the
qualitative resources developed by social scientists since 1990s. The aim of this paper is to provide the readership
with a methodological backbone to develop computer-supported mixed-method research projects, where the gap
between quantitative and qualitative approaches could be significantly narrowed.

This paper uses Media Systems Dependency (MSD) theory to analyze how transnational human rights advocates
leverage Web 2.0 video networks. MSD offers a multi-level ecological model of power that is useful for analyzing
how relationships of information and resource dependency may shift within media systems; in this case we apply
MSD to consider how human rights activists are circulating online video content both within and outside of the mass
media. We apply MSD theory to two prominent online video case studies—the first examining the grassroots social
movement efforts during Burma’s “Saffron Revolution,” and secondly, the “Hub” initiative of the U.S.-based non-
profit organization WITNESS. We also suggest how MSD can be updated for Web 2.0 online video.

The authors constructed a political economy framework to categorize media systems using cluster analysis statistical
techniques. Combining both political and economic factors, the framework generated a new typology of four media
systems: high press freedom/high media privatization, high press freedom/low media privatization, low press
freedom/high media privatization, and low press freedom/low media privatization. Ninety-five countries were
classified into the four media system groups. A consistent relationship between media system and social system was
found in developed countries, but not found in other countries.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Media literacy is often theorized to positively affect participation in community life, political participation, and
cultural participation. Nonetheless, relatively few studies have empirically explored the consequences of media
literacy. This article starts from the large body of communication research which explores the differential effects of
particular types of media use. We argue that media literacy in general, and Internet literacy in particular, may help to
better understand how broad patterns of offline and online media use translate into inequalities in participation.
Findings from a recent survey in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (N = 1070, age 18 to 85) reveal that online
media literacy indeed provides additional insight into the complex relationship between demographics, media use, and
inequalities in participation. In particular, Internet skills stimulate people’s take-up of online opportunities which in
turns positively contributes to participation in community life, political participation, and cultural participation.

In present paper, the debates around mediatization and transnationalism constitute the backdrop for a discussion on
the media and communication practices among Swedish expatriates in the Netherlands and forced migrants from
Bosnia in Sweden. The complex relationship between (transnational) identity, place and mobility is studied at three
intersections between media and migration: 1) creativity and connection-making, 2) The boundaries of mediated
freedom, and 3) the transnational production of locality. The paper stresses the importance of a contextual and non-
media-centric perspective (see Morley, 2009); it is in agents’ daily activities - where media practices and social
practices are interwoven with each other - the interplay between processes of deterritorialization and
reterritorialization take place.

In 2006 the U.S. FDA approved Gardasil, the first vaccine that protects against the two types of human papillomavirus
(HPV) that cause of up to 80% of all cervical cancers. The vaccine was often hailed as a medical breakthrough, and
Merck, the vaccine’s manufacturer, quickly launched a massive advertising campaign promoting the vaccine’s cancer-
prevention qualities. As of 2009, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Immunization
Survey estimated 26.7% of 13-17 year-olds in America have completed HPV vaccinations. While many factors
obviously contribute to individuals’ decisions to vaccinate themselves or their children, this study’s goal is to
investigate how the use of different HPV information sources ultimately affects parents’ intention to vaccinate their
daughters. Using data from the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), this article examines three
factors potentially influential in individuals’ acceptance of the HPV vaccine: HPV knowledge, HPV vaccine
awareness, and information sources.

Grounded in appraisal theories of emotion and intergroup emotions theory, this integrative review provides a
framework for understanding the role of emotion in responses to mediated intergroup threats. Specifically, media-
related fear and anger are examined in the context of social relations, focusing on two perspectives. First, the paper
discusses how framing various groups as threats can lead to fear and anger, stereotyping, and behavioral responses
such as avoidance, prejudice, and support for discriminatory policies. Second, the paper discusses how members of
groups portrayed as threats respond when anticipating media influence on others, drawing on work on collective threat
and influence of presumed influence. Gaps in the literature are identified, especially the need for a conceptual model
that considers the role of different intergroup emotions. A brief overview of what this model should include is
provided, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Terrorism is frequently treated by media as an absolute ‘other,’ an absolute negation externalizable from human
history. In opposition to that, the objective of this paper is to advance a dialectic and historicist approach to the
subject. The paper examines the communicative practices of a radical group active in Italy during the 1970s, the
Brigate Rosse, and its rhetorical competition with three national newspapers over the interpretation of a particular
event. The paper provides an analysis articulated at two distinct levels: ideological and hegemonic. At the first level,
the BR and the newspapers confront each other as competing narrations of the selected event. At the second level,
the paper will examine deeply radicated hegemonic assumptions embedded in those rhetorics. From this perspective,
the BR will be conceptualized as a dialectical product of the Italian hegemonic order, in other words, a determinate-
relative negation of the BR’s own historical context.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Already fifty years ago, the researchers in Symbolic Interactionism Tamotsu Shibutani and Anselm Straus created the
concept of social worlds to describe communities with reference to their internal form of communication: „The term
‚social world’ refers to a set of common or joint activities or concerns bound together by a network of
communication.“ (Strauss 1984). This concept was used to describe and analyse communities as a base of everyday
life – broad ones like ethnic minorities or social elites, or rather specific ones like being a member of a fitness center
or an enterprise. It was also used to analyze the development of social structures – „Modern mass societies, indeed,
are made up of a bewildering variety of social worlds.“, as Shibutani (1971:165) put it. The power of the concept lies
in the fact that it reduces community to its core: a common topic and interest to participate in specific activities, and
the communication about it. A community described as a social world thus could be understood to produce ways of
thinking and perceiving, traditions, perspectives and norms about what happens in this community and how to
understand the rest of the world, while all that roots in the respective area of everyday life of the people, the social
world. Our life today is characterized by ongoing developments – Individualization, Globalization,
Commercialization, Mediatization, just to mention some of the long term meta processes that are discussed today in
sociology or communication theory. Under these conditions, the everyday life of people is distracting in different
areas and takes place more and more in different social worlds. These social worlds may overlap and intersect, but
everyone is developing following an own logic. A further difference between today and the social worlds of earlier
societies lies in the fact that communication today more and more takes place in a mediatized way, and that the
different social worlds are also developing in different ways in this dimension: For example, in the social world of the
school, specific media are used with specific intentions and under specific conditions, and others are forbidden or at
least unusual. And what happens in school with media is quite different to how people use media to communicate as
members of fan groups, inside their families or with reference to their sport activities. Seen the other way round –
there are very different rules how to use a mobile phone in a bus, in a church or while visiting other people. We thus
today speak of mediatized (social) worlds to describe the forms of living of today. It is further evident that everybody
today is a member of quite a lot of different mediatized worlds. In these mediatized worlds, new forms of media use
may come into existence. But not only new forms of media use, also new forms of social relations, new forms of
social participation, new perspectives to understand and shape the world. This is because we make our main
experiences and shape our main social relations in such mediatized social worlds: The social world of a poker player
in the net or in face-to-face-groups, the mediatized world of a political activist who uses face-to-face-communication
and also Internet, email and twitter in his reference group or to discuss with others, the social world of a fan of
Madonna, of the Barcelona soccer club or the fan of a specific music style – these are the communicative spaces in
which reality is constructed, in which norms come to life and perspectives on whatever are developed. Thus,
mediatized worlds in the sense described above may be used today as the units of empirical research to understand
how people construct the world and themselves by communication and media in specific fields. Here, norms and
perspectives, responsibilities and emotions may be expressed and social relations are constructed, which later may be
transferred into other social worlds. Social worlds thus today are an even helpful concept to describe the forms of
living, of being a member of different communities and how this may influence society as a whole. This will be
explained by the presentation. There is also a priority program in Germany, financed by the German Research
foundation DFG and consisting in eleven research projects about mediatized worlds (www.mediatizedworlds.net).
Here, we are studying specific social worlds in different perspectives and with different methods. The presentation
will give an overview and an insight into the research work of the different projects. Strauss, Anselm (1978): A social

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Medical drama is a popular television genre. Previous research has taught a great deal about how the topics of health
and healthcare are depicted on television. However, little is known about the way television dramas shape viewers’
perception about the social reality of various health issues. By using a national representative sample (N = 11,555),
this study seeks to understand the impacts exposure to medical dramas has on viewers. Findings suggest that heavy
viewers of medical dramas tend to hold more fatalistic beliefs about an illness and underestimate chronic illnesses
such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as one of important issues facing the current society. Heavy viewing of
medical dramas was also related to greater health knowledge but more so among the more educated than among the
less educated. Theoretical implications for cultivation theory, entertainment education, and knowledge gap, and
practical implications for health policy and drama producers are discussed.

Digital games are one of the fastest growing advertising media. This paper contributes to the study of general attitudes
towards in-game advertising (IGA) by exploring medium-specific factors (Intrusion, Realism, Avoidance, and
Appropriateness) related to IGA and studying how these relate to the playing frequency of specific game genres, and
predict general IGA attitudes. A large-scale survey with avid players (N=708) showed that players of more realistic
game genres (Racing games and Shooters) found IGA less intrusive, more realism enhancing, and were less likely to
avoid games containing IGA compared to less frequent players of these genres. The medium-specific factors Intrusion
and Realism, together with the general attitude towards advertising, were found to be predictive for general IGA
attitudes. We discuss the findings in the light of current gaming literature.

The interview with a terrorist is part of the trend towards increased personalization in media coverage of terrorism that
tells the personal story of terrorists and lends them a platform as news persona. This study deals with viewers'
reception of such an interview. Its objective is to investigate the ways in which a television interview with a
Palestinian female terrorist, who was caught on her way to perform a suicide bombing in Israel, was received by
Jewish-Israeli youth with hawkish political views. The findings show that the predominant feeling among the hawkish
Jewish-Israeli viewers was a marked attitude of hostility. However, this reaction was accompanied by feelings of
sympathy, pity and compassion triggered by the personal encounter with the interviewee – a fragile-looking
Palestinian woman. Our analysis also discusses the role played by gender in the construction of enemy images in
violent conflicts.

How do diverse tourist activities such as walking through the doors of Independence Hall, helping to paint street
murals, and running up the Philadelphia Art Museum steps in the mode of Rocky, help to create the popular
imagination and brand of Philadelphia? In this paper, I address how the city of Philadelphia is partially branded
through the use of memory itineraries, a phrase I use to describe the enactment of collective urban memory through
bodily activity in space. Through the strategic use of memory, these itineraries often work to bolster city pride,
identity and solidarity. While these goals may be considered positive developments in the quest to brand Philadelphia
as a significant national presence, I argue that the enactment of these memory itineraries might also be detrimental to
communities within the city itself - through inadvertent silencing of alternative viewpoints or paralysis of social
action.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Previous research has established that perceived message effectiveness is a fairly good proxy of actual message effects
on health beliefs and behavior. Although important, the finding that a message perceived as effective leads to
relatively favorable effects on beliefs and action cannot directly inform message design. Moreover, the basic science
question remains which message configurations induce processing principles associated with perceived effectiveness.
To address this issue, the present research therefore coded 78 antidrug messages on four features, i.e., message
sensation value, gain-loss framing, message appeals, and the type of target drugs. These features were associated with
convincingness and valence effectiveness measures obtained from a sample of 190 adolescents. The findings showed
that intense imagery, surprise endings, loss frames and fear appeal strategies improved the perceived convincingness
of a message. Importantly, however, they simultaneously reduced the perceived valence of that message.

design was conducted. Two physiological measures including skin conductance and heart rate were examined.
Findings of this study show that MSV is not a distraction, but a facilitator of message persuasiveness. These findings
contribute to the activation model. Regarding the individual difference factor of interest, we found that need for
sensation moderated the interaction effect of MSV and MCV on ad processing. Low sensation seekers were more
likely to experience the interaction between MSV and MCV than high sensation seekers. Several observations related
to the findings and implications for antismoking message designs were elaborated. Limitations and directions for
future research were also outlined.

6153. Representing "Reality": The Complex and Messy World of Documentary Production
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

“The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu” by Andrei Ujică might constitute a significant occasion for re-opening
larger debates about the documentary genre, including issues of (non)fictionality, cinematic narrativity, modes of
engaging archives, and the complex relationships between cinema, history, and memory. In this paper, I tease out the
points and the strategies by which the film articulates, but does not settle these debates. One of the most significant
aspects of the film is that, as opposed to the expectation that documentary deals in “factual” information, the director
deals in experience. Thus, an autoethnographic text is woven into the scholarly discussion. In the process, I do not
attempt to re-create the script of the film, but to reveal my own version of it with accompanying reactions, emotions,
frustrations, and memories spurred in the process of viewing/witnessing the film.

8254. Dimensions of Messy Engagement: When University-School Partnerships Bring Digital Media into Urban
Schools
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

The city provides a rich array of learning opportunities for young children. Sadly, in many urban schools, it can often
be logistically difficult to get young children out of the building. But when elementary children are encouraged to
view the city as classroom and use digital media to explore and represent their neighborhoods, they can be inspired by
the unpredictable events of daily life to ask naïve, critical and sometimes troubling questions. In the process of
gathering information and representing what they learn, children develop both a sense of authority and social
responsibility as authors as well as a heightened intellectual curiosity that propels them to want to learn more. In this
paper, I share a detailed case study of an undergraduate student who worked with a group of 9-year olds in
Philadelphia who were enrolled in a summer program in digital and media literacy. Using a mix of direct observation,
interviews with the teacher and students, examination of documents created by the students, and lesson plans and
reflective writing produced by the teacher, I examine the experience of a novice teacher who, flummoxed by an
accidental encounter between her students and a homeless person, transformed an uncomfortable experience into a
teachable moment.

Aside from navigation proper, the predominant consumer use of locative media has been in help finding things like
restaurants, movie theaters, bars, and cafes. This paper will analyze locative smartphone applications, and their use
within highly mobile cosmopolitan populations, in the context of longer-term practices of spatialized community
formation. It will focus, on the one hand, on two specifically commercial applications, Yelp! and Foursquare. These
are the two most popular location-based applications that integrate user-contributed data. These will be read in
contrast to Layar Reality Browser, a new and more open-ended application billed as “impactful augmented reality in
your everyday life.” At least in its marketing and interface, Layar emphasizes that it encompasses features of the
cityscape beyond commercial establishments, such as art museums and architectural sights. For most of human
history, cities have existed as both locations and networks – physical groupings of residence and business, and
connections of commerce and society that crossed the boundaries of such groupings. The ‘local’ was often seen as a
specifically physical phenomenon, a conceptual place more likely to be populated and invested in by the working
classes and generally slower-moving citizens. Conceptually, augmented reality tools constitute a layer above the
physical city, highlighting points of distinction that separate users from the space they are moving through. They are
often specifically marketed to members of the international cosmopolitan class who find themselves navigating new
cities, but they often implicitly and explicitly cite mastery of ‘the local’ as a value they bring to customers. The
connections between similar locations constituted through an application like Yelp become a kind of shadow or meta-
city, or rather a series of such meta-cities, linked and interlocking but also exclusive, assembled by and visible to only
those with certain taste profiles – these, pace Bordieu, functionally aligning with class/race/gender profiles. What
happens, in a world filtered and reconstituted along such lines, to the data-poor left behind in the merely physical
world? Do locative media, by creating despatialized meta-communities, create separations between a mobile elite and
less economically empowered, more ‘grounded’ locals? What might that separation imply, and how could its negative
social consequences be forestalled? Can locative media reconstitute a recognizable ‘localism’ in a mobile world, or
more likely, constitute a new kind of delocalized, mobile, networked community? Could the term ‘community’ still
rightly apply to such a mediated and de-spacialized social structure? And does an application like Layar, by reaching
beyond the instrumental and commercial, offer any less stratified a vision of the dislocated future?

Presented at the following event:

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Language brokering is the communication process that children of immigrant families frequently engage in, where
they mediate for family and individuals of mainstream culture. Using a translation-based theory, researchers suggest
that brokering enhances youth’s academic performance. An alternative perspective, however, posits that children
performing well in school may be called upon to broker more often. Mexican-heritage youth (N = 684) in 7th and 8th
grades completed surveys at three waves. Autoregressive cross-lagged analyses supported the alternative perspective.
As Mexican-heritage youth reported higher academic performance, they brokered more often, were more likely to feel
good about themselves when brokering, and less likely to feel embarrassed and nervous when brokering. The study
also found that having a favorable attitude toward their family’s culture predicted higher academic performance,
brokering more often, and feeling more positively and less negatively about brokering.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Michel Foucault’s analytics of power relations can positively contribute to a critical study of communication
processes. Foucault’s works on power-knowledge relations can shed light on the logics of interaction that characterize
social forms, and the historical and contingent nature of the subject of communication. The case of disciplinary power
shows how Foucault’s work on diagrams can be read as a new attempt to critically assess both the actors and the
logics of interaction that characterize the social space of modernity. Disciplinary power is characterized by a whole
range of power relations that objectify and subjugate the individual body, and is also accompanied by a new form of
inter-individual relations, and a new regime of discursive practices.

Several studies have explored the different role conceptions that journalists embrace, all under the assumption that
conceived roles influence journalists’ outputs. However, the link between journalists’ role conceptions and role
enactments has not been explored. In this study we sought to not only uncover the role conceptions of Washington
correspondents through an online survey but also to empirically link these into their role enactments through a content
analysis of their articles. What we uncovered is a possible indirect link between role conceptions and role enactments,
where editorial influences appear to play an important role.

This study investigated whether misconceptions about brain death hinders consent for organ donation. Using the
Theory of Triadic Influence, this study examined participants’ intrapersonal, social-normative, and cultural influences
about brain dead organ donation. The present study developed new sets of measures and showed that misconceptions
about persistent vegetative state and brain dead still exist, and adequate and correct knowledge diffusion is still
needed. Participants showed some limited agreement about their own desire to have their organs donated if they were
declared brain dead. They showed indecision regarding the advisability of brain dead organ donation in general and
they showed some disagreement about consenting to donate their brain dead loved ones’ organs. Without a clear
understanding of the meaning of brain death, family members may be reluctant to give consent for organ donation.
The current study offers recommendations for what steps could be taken to provide education to address this problem.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

For healthy democratic political systems to function, people must be exposed to diverse political arguments. Social
networks, within which citizens across the world frequently discuss politics, can be a rich source of opportunities for
such exposure. This paper addresses the following question: how do the party system and the level of generalised trust
influence misperceptions of the political preferences of interlocutors? A party's electoral size may be used to infer
which party one's peers are likely to support. Trusting others may be a key factor when it comes to revealing political
preferences in interpersonal communication, particularly in the case of disagreement. Analysing data from Japan and
Denmark, this paper finds that party system concentration has profound effects on the patterns of misperceptions. The
results indicate, however, that higher levels of generalised trust do not increase the accuracy of perceptions.

Mobile phones have great implications for the ways in which users seek information, maintain social networks, and
participate in civic engagement (Ling, 2004; Campbell, 2007; Campbell and Kwak, 2010; Campbell and Kwak, 2011;
Hampton, Sessions, and Her, 2011). Mobile donation or texting to give has gained mainstream attention since the
Haiti earthquake relief effort in 2010. A growing number of non-profit organizations have used mobile donation as a
new fundraising channel. However, there is still a lack of research on mobile donation as an important indicator of
civic engagement. To fill this gap, this research integrates technological affordances, digital divides, and social capital
theories to examine mobile donation as a new venue of civic engagement. Using nationally representative survey data
collected by the Pew Internet and American Life Project in 2010, this research examines the variations in mobile
donation by the intensity, diversity, and attitude of mobile phone use as well as by social groups such as gender,
generation, race, and class. In particular, it is interested in whether mobile phone as a more widely adopted technology
than the Internet would provide members of disadvantaged groups a new and more affordable tool for civic
engagement. The research is also interested in the relation between mobile and online donation. The analysis shows
several interesting findings. First, the likelihood of mobile donation varies significantly with the diversity, purposes
and attitude of mobile phone use. The diversity rather than the intensity of mobile phone use is positively related to
mobile giving. Using mobile phone for relational purposes is positively related to mobile giving. However, using
mobile phone for logistical or work purposes is not related to mobile giving. The more positive the attitude users have
towards mobile phone use, the higher the likelihood of mobile giving. Second, many socio-demographic gaps in
donation via traditional methods are not significant to mobile donation. More affluent, better educated, and white
Americans are more likely to donate online than less affluent, less educated, Hispanics and members of other racial
groups. By contrast, most socio-demographic and socioeconomic factors do not affect the likelihood of mobile
donation. However, for both online and mobile donation, people aged 45 or above are more likely to give than their
younger counterparts. Third, mobile donation supplements rather than replacement online donation. While mobile
donation does not and may never replace conventional donation channels, it helps to overcome the racial, income, and
educational gaps in donation. Keywords: mobile phone, social capital, donation, civic engagement, digital divides

Observers expect that within the next five years, more people worldwide will access the broadband internet via a
mobile device than they do via desktop computer (Meeker, Devit, & Wu, 2010). While catchwords such as
“ubiquitous computing” testify to great general expectations, we still know little how this change will express in
concrete everyday internet use. What happens when people are no longer tethered to computer cords through which to
harness the power of the internet? Which patterns of usage will emerge out of the seemingly infinite possibilities of
ubiquitous internet access? In response to these questions, we combine a user-centered approach on appropriation with
a media-ecology perspective. Our theoretical basis is the Mobile Phone Appropriation Model (Wirth, von Pape, &
Karnowski, 2008), which integrates approaches from both an adoption-oriented background (Theory of Planned
Behavior, Technology Acceptance Model, Diffusion of Innovations Theory) and an appropriation-oriented basis
(frame analysis, domestication research, uses-and-gratifications). Research suggests that the adoption and
appropriation of new media can be culturally influenced (Baron, 2010; Campbell, 2007; Ishii, 2004); therefore we also
integrate a cultural comparison between the US and Germany. To grasp the complexity of everyday mobile internet
use, we designed our study as a succession of qualitative and quantitative investigations realized at a large
northeastern US university and two southern German universities. A first exploratory study based on semi-structured
interviews with 21 students helped to identify the spatial, temporal, social, technological and cultural dimensions
structuring everyday mobile internet use (authors, in press). Our presentation will report the findings of the second,
quantitative stage of the study, aiming to identify, compare and explain patterns of mobile internet usage along these
dimensions. During the month of November 2011, we are conducting an experience-sampling survey among 100
students (50 students from the United States, two times 25 students from Germany). Developed in sociological
research about the everyday life (Larson & Csikszentmihalyi, 1983), this method gives access to a representative
sample of everyday usage situations (Palen, Salzmann, & Youngs, 2000; Yang, 2011; von Pape & Karnowski, 2012;
for validity, see Boase & Ling, 2011). Every participant is contacted every day by a text message at a contingent
moment between 8.00 am and 10.00 pm. The text message comprises the link to an online questionnaire, which is
accessible via the mobile internet connection and is opened in the smartphone’s web browser. The questionnaire has
to be completed within two hours – after this time it is not accessible anymore. While the data collection is still
ongoing, early results suggest a lack of ubiquity to the mobile internet use, despite the ubiquity of the mobile phone
itself. Patterns emerge with respect to the “if”, “where”, “when” and “how“ of mobile Internet use, permitting to draw
a typology of usage situations. In the discussion, we will identify the limitations of our study (e.g. the reliability of the
self reported data), and we will outline how the study may help to contribute to more context awareness in the
research on mobile internet use. References Baron, N. (2010). Introduction to special section: mobile phones in cross-

Mobile users confront complicated privacy decisions from a young age and personal information mistake made early
in life can be costly. Young users find themselves in a demanding information environment, with their mobile devices
on constant connection in every aspect of daily lives. Such ubiquitous mobile saturation can hinder abilities to manage
digital traces of personal identities effectively. To empower the young users, it is critical to investigate the factors that
contribute to or decrease the acquisition of digital privacy skill. Understanding those determinants can also help
policymakers design effective interventions targeted at the young population. This study examines the relationship
between mobile fluency, information and locational privacy knowledge, and information skills among the young
adults. Theoretically, this study expands the notion of digital literacy (Hargittai, 2002, 2003, 2008; cf. Dimaggio et al,
2001) to understand mobile uses and skill. With the mobile access rate that already outpaced Internet penetration, it is
essential to recognize how differentiated patterns of mobile personal information skills may contribute to deepening
social inequalities (Dimaggio et al, 2001; Neuman et al, 2010). Immediate privacy and institutional privacy (see boyd
& Hargittai, 2010) is a critical distinction concerning users’ skill that manages mobile-based digital surveillance.
Three key research questions will be addressed: 1) How well-equipped are young adults to make personal information
decisions in mobile use? 2) What are the determinants of mobile literacy and skills among young people? 3) How can
policymakers devise effective interventions aimed at young mobile users? Recent efforts in privacy studies have been
made to examine user knowledge and behavior(e.g., Park, 2011; Turow, 2005). A few advanced surveillance studies
(e.g., Humphreys, 2011) also made systematic efforts to investigate people’s perception of privacy and surveillance in
the uses of mobile social network sites. Yet in most mobile studies, surprisingly little has been conducted to
empirically assess information management skill, while it is critical to understand the formation of informed users
with unprecedented levels of location-based personalized data collection in mobile devices (cf. Campbell & Park,
2008). Results will be of interest to policymakers concerned with the mobile-based information privacy and the
balance between personal and institutional responsibility. This study analyzes data (n = 31) collected from the young
adults (18-24) in a mixed design of quantitative and qualitative inquiries. This study has a particular interest in the
African-American community in which the mobile access is the most widely diffused of any digital devices (Pew
Internet, 2010). Note the symbolic significance to African American users as the mobile devices function as sites of
cultural production and consumption. Analytically, by investigating multi-level influences of (1) basic mobile access
and use, (2) family media sophistication, and (3) sociodemographics, it is possible to examine whether skill variation
remains once basic access has been achieved and whether differential skills are randomly distributed or systematically
related to certain social factors. Qualitative in-depth interview enables the researcher to capture individual perceptions
of information interactions with their mobile devices in naturalistic and open-ended methods. Selected References

Social media are widely considered as driving force for the institutionalization of CSR. It holds great potential for the
empowerment of citizens, consumers, social movements or pressure groups. So far, this role of social media in the
strategic communication of pressure groups is underexplored. By analysing the use and content of social media of
protest actors on the one hand and corporations on the other, the paper contributes to understanding the mechanisms,
conditions and effects of social media based pressure on corporations. Drawing on social movement theory, discourse
theory and neo-institutional theory, it empirically analyses and contrasts civil society responses to two recent CSR
scandals in the chocolate industry. While the revelation of deforestation with detrimental effects for Orang Utans
fostered vast protest, leading to the abandonment of criticised practices by the international corporation Nestlé (March
2010), the revelation of child trafficking and slavery throughout the chocolate industry, gave rise to only moderate
opposition (July 2010). The paper discusses the reasons underlying this discrepancy by analysing the differences and
dynamics between the semantic networks and associative frames (Guo & McCombs, 2011, Schultz et al., 2011) of the
actors via semantic network analysis (1765 sentences in social media, 132 in press releases). The findings allow
further evaluations of institutional, ethical and political conditions and reflections on the implications of “social media
values”.

Disposition theories have a long and rich tradition in explaining the enjoyment of traditional hero narratives. The
disposition formula, however, is less successful when applied to the current box-office busting trend of antihero
movies. Recent research suggests that identification and moral disengagement are important factors for the enjoyment
of antihero narratives. The present study builds on this theoretical framework and takes additional personality factors
and general entertainment variables into account in the development of a model of the antihero narrative enjoyment
process. Participants (n = 234) viewed one of three different feature-length antihero films. Findings revealed that, in
addition to the expected impact of identification and moral disengagement for enjoyment, personality traits such as the
tendency to morally disengage in reality and acceptance of real-world violence predicted enjoyment, with additional
influence from perceived realism and transportation. The findings lead to the development of a model explaining
antihero narrative enjoyment.

This paper examines the ABC series Modern Family and the ways in which it contributes to the ongoing mass
mediation of homosexuality. This essay asks what makes Cameron and Mitchell (and by association, Modern Family)
worthy of the praise it has received as a groundbreaking gay televisual representation? Beginning with a brief history
of key gay and lesbian televisual representations, followed by a discussion of the hegemonic discourses of the gay
rights movement and how, I argue, that informs the kinds of representations allowed on television, this essay
interrogates how Modern Family works within the dominant discourses of the gay rights movement, the ways in which
normative gender roles are upheld and lastly, how Modern Family operates as a homonormative text.

Contemporary political theorizing often depicts political communication as a process of argument exchange between
rational individuals. What is often missed is the fact that people not only communicate emotionally but also rely on
mythical interpretation of signs. This problem is especially relevant to global communication, where the appropriation
of Western ideas of modernity by non-Western societies is taking place. Using Barthes’s semiological method, this
paper analyzes how the conceptual forms of democracy and the market were filled with new, mythical, signification,
by a local Soviet newspaper in 1989-1991. The study has shown that mythology was constructed by means of filling
empty mythical forms with new significations, which drew from preexisting meanings of local social contexts. It has
also revealed that those mythological constructions, which had nothing to do with reality, led to further
disillusionment among local publics and their animosity toward the ideas of Western modernity.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am

This study examines the psychological impact of media narratives on people's emotions. Viewers’ success or failure
experience was manipulated prior to watching a fictional television show in which the character also experiences
either success or failure. Viewers’ interpretation of the character’s situation was affected by their pre-viewing
experiences. Similarity of circumstances between viewer and character predicted interpretations of the character’s
outcomes, but only when viewers identified with the character. Interpretations, in turn, affected viewers’ post-viewing
affective state. These results are discussed in terms of viewer character relationships and mood repair.
Moral Panics, Culture, Immigration, and Hegemonic Strategy: Rereading the Danish Cartoon Affair Against the

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Danish cartoon crisis is probably one of the most significant moral panics of our time. I am not talking about the
violent reactions to the cartoons by Muslims but about the “Western” reactions to the “Muslim” reactions: a general
feeling of an urgent threat to one of “our” core values – freedom of speech – by Muslim immigrants in our midst.
Since the mid-80s, “western” European countries have seen unending chains of moral panics about Muslim
immigrants and their cultural practices. In many parts of Europe, cycles of moral panics are created around issues such
as honor killings, gang rapes, animal slaughter, violence and crime, female circumcision, forced marriages,
headscarves and lately terrorism and security. These moral panics are designed to keep Muslim immigrants as a salient
issue for political debate and to create an unbridgeable divide between European nations and Muslim immigrants
presented as a radically alien and incompatible category.

Explicating the underlying neural processes underlying the perception and judgment of media characters and their
behaviors is of central importance to understanding many theories of media effects. This experiment uses functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify neural indicators of hypothesized connections between moral
judgment and person perception processes central to perception of and reaction to media content. An experiment was
conducted wherein groups varying on progressivism (liberal and conservative) read and responded to short statements
about behaviors “derived from the headlines” that varied in moral content, moral valance and broad moral domain
(representing theoretically distinct moral intuitions) while in the MRI scanner. Findings suggest that neural response
to news stories depend on the valence (moral or immoral) of the message, the broad moral domain of the message, and
the self-reported progressivism of the participant. This study highlights the importance of these variables in moral
judgments relevant for media processes.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Institutional Review Boards and other, similar committees exist to guide those who study humans. Being a construct
of the analogue age, set up to guide research endeavours offline, such bodies face a tremendous challenge in the age of
social media. Indeed, the borders between the private and the public are blurring - In the current situation, discussing
the future of ethics committees is a key task for the field of communication and technology research. This presentation
will draw on experiences from dealing with ethical review boards in two similar, yet different countries - Sweden and
Norway - when undertaking comparative large-scale quantitative analyses of Twitter use. Rationales for decision
making on similar cases can be very different in the two specified contexts - raising questions not only about the
optimal ways of explaining the work that we do to decision makers, but also about the lack of transparency and
feedback possibilities between the boards and the researchers. As ethical review boards monitor what kind of
research can and cannot be performed at universities, there is an apparent need to make sure that the critical awareness
of these and related issues is up to date among such decision makers. The members of such boards have a large
influence over contemporary research, and as such, it is important that the rules and regulations they work with are up
to date.

5138. Is “Positive Organizational Scholarship” A Positive Move for Organizational Communication? Forging Toward
a Critical Embrace
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Myriad religious traditions, folklore and world-wide philosophies have acknowledged the power of gratitude in
everyday life and its impact on health and wellness. However, the expression of gratitude has been minimally studied
empirically as an interactional phenomenon. Moreover research on gratitude has been limited to interpersonal dyadic
relationships. This paper argues for the incorporation of gratitude in organizational communication scholarship.
Creating a language that encourages gratitude at work has the ability to increase positive outcomes, such as mood and
pro-social behavior, and may lead to transformations in organizational culture and climate that foster well-being at
work. This paper further delineates the ways that gratitude in the workplace may yield buffering effects for negative
emotions and toxic work environments, lead to positive organizational change, promote organizational well-being,
stimulate positive coping strategies during stressful work settings, and support work-life balance.

The present study examines the development of video game enjoyment over time. The results of a longitudinal study
(N = 62) show that video game enjoyment increases over several sessions. Moreover, results indicate a causal link
between the predictor variables exploratory behavior, spatial presence, competence, suspense and solution, and
simulated experiences of life and the dependent variable video game enjoyment in a multilevel model. These findings
are essential to the field of video game research because they reveal the antecedents of video game enjoyment in a real
world setting. Up to now most results originate from experimental settings. Results are discussed in terms of
explaining dynamics of video game enjoyment under real world conditions.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Despite a growing trend of using multimedia to enhance news presentation, little is known about the actual benefit of
such a practice. So far, empirical evidence regarding the impact of multimedia enhancements on perceptions of news
Web sites has been mixed and scanty. The current undertaking is a modest step toward filling that gap. A post-test
only experiment using a 3x3 factorial design was conducted to detect the effective effects of multimedia use. As the
findings indicate, multimedia stimuli serve to appeal to online news users. Meanwhile, news organizations need to
consider when blending multimedia with text. The display of vivid multimedia may undermine the thorough
processing of news content.

7452-16. Intergroup Communication Interest Group Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Terror Management Theory is presented as a possible motivational explanation for two communication–based
manifestations of intergroup biases: Linguistic Intergroup Bias and Infrahumanization. The innate psychological drive
to manage existential terror may guide subtle language use as a means of bolstering the ingroup and disparaging
outgroups. An experiment using members of African American and Caucasian Greek-letter collegiate organizations as
the intergroup setting tested effects of mortality salience on linguistic bias and infrahumanization. Results showed
uniquely human emotions were rated as more likely for ingroup than outgroup members, and that participants primed
with reminders of death had a greater tendency to attribute such emotions to ingroup members. There was mixed
evidence for the linguistic bias hypotheses. Implications are discussed regarding the motivational explanation and for
future research.

5542. Mediating Postsocialist Femininities
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

One of the most recognizable symbols of Polish motherhood is Mother Pole. She embodies the patriarchal ideal of
femininity: self-sacrificing, self-denying, and always in service to others and her nation. Focusing on a select number
of blogs, this paper examines how Polish female bloggers re-appropriate this figure. The analysis considers two
intertwined phenomena: a historical context and cultural impact of political changes after 1989, as well as media
developments of that period, including the popularization of the Internet and the rise of the blogosphere. These
phenomena frame the central focus of the paper, which examines the disruption and/or continuity of discourses of
gender and national identity in post-socialist Poland. While the blogs exemplify individual negotiated and/or
oppositional readings of Mother Pole narratives, the paper also investigates how such practices are articulated in terms
that problematize the discourse of public vs. private spheres that shapes gender roles in Poland.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This study investigates the dynamic of communication in the process of older adults’ learning and using computer
technologies. It focuses on the evolving motivations of computer use by the elderly and social support they seek and
receive while in the communication offline or online. By conducting field observation at a community IT college and
interviews with elderly students, it was found that the pursuit of social support was the initial motivation of older
adults to learn IT. While learning IT offline or online, individuals communicated with peers, instructors and family
members, receiving and even providing social support, which improved their sense of control over the environment
and motivated them to continuously use the technology. Computer-mediated communication stimulated the exchange
of social support. Implications are discussed for harnessing IT to facilitate communication of older adults, and provide
them with adequate social support. Suggestions are also given to elderly education program.

8231. The Role of Emotion in Media Selection and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Most of the entertainment that people consume on a daily basis is “out of sight, out of mind,” yet sometimes, a movie,
a book, or a song text can stick in our heads and cause us to think. These types of reflective media experiences have
recently been conceptualized under the rubric of eudaimonic entertainment, and have been linked to emotions such as
empathic sadness, tenderness, or being moved. But what about the causal relationship of emotion and cognition in
eudaimonic entertainment experience? Using an experimental approach, this study predicted and found that emotions
can make individuals more reflective, and that both emotions and reflective thoughts contribute to the overall positive
experience of entertainment stimuli. Follow-up analyses suggest that moderate arousal, negative valence, and mixed
affect each contribute to the cognitively stimulating effect of emotions, and to the process of eudaimonic
entertainment experience as a whole.

This study explored how entertainment movies, as autonomous image formation agents, influence viewers’
perceptions of the places portrayed and consequent visitation interest. This research project looked at the embedded
places as products placed in the movies. On the basis of the Adapted Meaning Transfer Model, it explored whether
movie genre will have any influence on people’s place perceptions and visitation interest. On one hand, the study
found that the violent crime thriller had a significant negative impact on the viewers’ affective and cognitive place
images immediately after the movie exposure. On the other hand, the results demonstrated that, contrary to the
expectations, the romantic drama did not generate any significant positive impact on the viewers. Moreover, this study
made an attempt to explore movies’ long-term impact. The results showed that movie genres’ main effect was
meaningful on a long-term basis.

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

As the service sector expands under neoliberalism, individuals are increasingly defining themselves as sexual beings
through consumption practices that some consumers and researchers describe as empowering. One of the challenges
facing sex researchers today is to understand how the seemingly opposite poles of “panic” and “praise” are related.
Analyses that focus on sex work in particular, and are concerned with the ways in which various “pay to play” spaces
invite different configurations of bodies and embodiment practices, may shed some light on how sexual services are
produced and consumed, who is (and is not) participating, and how commodified forms of sexual self-expression
make their way into and circulate within the public sphere. Using my research on music, sound and pole dancing in
the Midwest as an example, I sketch out a methodological approach that considers sex research within a political-
economic framework, while not losing sight of individual actors.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Intercultural Competence is a widely used concept within intercultural communication. Although many scholars
recognize that it is “a complex and challenging activity” (Lustig & Koester, 2003, p. 327), it suggests that the
performance of multiculturalism has some sort of material ontological status- i.e., one is either competent or not
competent. Consequently, students often perceive that their choice in the matter is whether or not to “be”
multicultural. Thus, for example, a student may reply to a discussion about transgender individuals by saying “we
should just stop stereotyping everyone by gender and just let people be people!”. Experienced educators know
however that the issue is not this simple.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and computer-mediated communication
(CMC) has led to the re-conceptualization of relationships. Multimedia relationships are dominating but are receiving
insufficient attention by scholars. This study explored three things: how people use CMC for relational maintenance,
why people use CMC for relational maintenance, and what impact people think CMC interactions with their partner
have on their relational attributes. Using 16 interviews and 375 survey responses, this study provides a description of
CMC use in non-platonic relationships and illustrates some of the relational complexities that future research should
strive to unravel. This article discusses the findings of this research with the goal of highlighting the importance of
researching multimedia relationship maintenance in more depth and with more frequency.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This paper explores what constitutes a creative appropriation of technology for movements of dissent from the
margins based on a case study of a Muslim minority revolutionary organization in the Philippines. Enabled by hybrid
features of online media outlets, we find that minorities use multiple transcripts that target diverse audiences and
oscillate across multiple, fleeting representations, narratives, and articulations. Our paper supports the view that
‘infrapolitics’ (the politics of disguise and concealment that lies between public and hidden transcripts of subordinate
groups) is crucial in understanding online dissent. The paper argues that new strategies of political discourse
foregrounding infrapolitics help minority groups to circumvent traditional barriers of political communication and
alter the quality of debate between minorities, state and the international community and challenge national limits and
boundaries.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The increasing availability of modern information technology offers new opportunities for teaching and learning, but
has also become “primarily, if ironically, a distraction from what matters most—effective learning and good teaching”
(Kearsley, 1998, p. 47). The current investigation examined the prevalence of engaging in other activities during class
and the extent to which classic and new media types are used for such distractions. An online survey was conducted to
investigate students’ motives to engage in classroom multitasking, the perceived advantages and disadvantages and the
role of individual differences (n = 396). Respondents were also asked to suggest lecture techniques perceived as
helpful to maintain attention to the course. Findings demonstrate that classroom multitasking is common among
German students and that modern information technology is frequently used for this purpose, especially cellphones.
The results are discussed with respect to positive and negative effects on students’ learning. Reference: Kearsley, G.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

We propose an historical view of everyday dissidance, a process by which mundane re-creation and re-habitation of
temporary spaces allowed transgressions of totalizing power over individual bodies. Our case is Czechoslovakia
during the communist experiment, 1948-1989. Interviews drawn from a much larger study of Western and East-
Central European journalists at Radio Free Europe during the Cold War inform this smaller study. We examine the
life narratives via interviews and correspondence 2004-2011 with Czech language service journalists at RFE to reveal
a common pattern of everyday dissidence that transcends the the decades of Czech communist history, education,
gender, place of residence, family background and the like.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The actions of Muslims have often been inscribed in a cultural and political discourse that casts them in subordinate
terms as traditional, introverted and fatalist. Re-instituting faith in a culture that sees itself mostly at the receiving end
of a powerful imported secular culture, no matter how liberating it might be, is unequivocally considered regressive
and anti-modern by those who see no emancipation in the dogmas of the religious. But a number of Muslims have
turned to modern media technologies like satellite television and the Internet, not necessarily to re-invent religious
tradition and stir up pious passions, but to seek original ways to render religious discourse more deliberative and
create a culture of religious dissent. Muslimah Media Watch, a well-read blog created in 2007 by Iranian-American
media activist Fatemeh Fakhraie, is a revealing example of the use of blogging as an activist medium both to challenge
traditional religious authorities and counter uni-dimensional representations of Islam in global popular culture.
Muslimah Media Watch seeks to redress the distortion of the image of Muslim women in mainstream media by
foregrounding the voices and views of “well-educated, feminist, and emancipated Muslimahs [Muslim women].” With
an international team of 21 women bloggers in the United States, Egypt, Switzerland, South Africa, Pakistan, and the
UK, the blog serves as a forum for commentary and critique of any portrayal that would cast Muslim women as
“exotic sex slaves, oppressed, or dangerous terrorists.” Many of the bloggers are young, cosmopolitan and well-
educated Muslims who have their own blogs and write columns for various online news outlets on the same topic.
Their writing is equally critical of a jaded religious authority in Islam which they consider to be largely out of step
with the social experience of Muslims in modern societies. Recently, MMW bloggers wrote and tweeted about
abortion rights in Egypt, polygamy laws in Saudi Arabia, homosexuality in Indonesia, the niqab controversy in France,
the Orientalist excesses of the film, Sex and the City, and the biased coverage of Muslim women in Marie Claire
magazine. This paper explores journalism and media activism in the Muslim context by focusing on the blog,
Muslimah Media Watch, analyzing the significance of blogging and tweeting as an activist tool used by a group of
Muslim women to influence an ongoing and contested process of social change in Islam. Through interviews with the
founder and bloggers of the site and a textual analysis of the blog posts and tweets, Nabil will examine how activist
media can be prime discursive and performative spaces where young Muslims debate and contest what it means to be
modern in transnational settings.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Social Movement Organizations (SMOs) play an important role in supporting democratic ideals and allowing citizens
to engage in collective action. The Internet has quickly become a commonly used medium for SMO outreach, which
provides the opportunity for a broader range of voices to participate in issue-related discussions. This research
employed a survey of undergraduate communication students to examine how recipients of online SMO messages
plan to participate and actually participate in online and offline activities, and what their primary motivations for
doing so are. Findings show online activities are more commonly practiced than offline activities, although planned
participation and actual mobilization is overall low. This indicates that despite available resources, most respondents
refrained from making their voices heard, resulting in a population of muted activists.

This project examines how Nadya Suleman and Kate Gosselin were represented in the media following the births of
their higher order multiples. A critical textual analysis of newspaper and entertainment magazine articles was
conducted to answer the following questions: (1) How were Suleman and Gosselin portrayed as mothers? (2) How
were they portrayed as recipients of reproductive technology? And (3) what role did race, class and gender plan in
these portrayals? The findings show that media coverage drew on stereotypes about who has a right to be a mother and
what that mother should look like, what it means to be a good or bad mother, and who deserves access to reproductive
technology and who does not in its representation of Suleman and Gosselin.

The current study utilized a cross-sectional survey (N = 5,017) of an online panel of participants in Taiwan to explore
Internet uses and addiction. More specifically, the study explored gender and age differences in Internet uses and
addiction, as well as the relationship between narcissism and these uses and addiction tendencies. Results indicated
that Internet uses and addiction tendencies varied as a function of gender and age. While males and females reported
similar overall Internet uses, gender differences were found with regards to specific online activities (i.e., reading
online news, blogs, visiting shopping sites). Males reported higher tendencies for addiction. In addition, results
showed a significant relationship between narcissism, Internet uses, and addiction tendencies. Results are discussed
within the framework of individual differences in Internet uses and habits.

This study developed a measure for narrative engageability based on existing approaches and additional theoretical
considerations. Scale development started with an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with the dataset from study one
(N = 340) resulting in a 12-item measure with four distinct dimensions – (1) propensity for presence, (2) emotional
engageability, (3) suspense/ curiosity, (4) accepting unrealism – and good metric properties. This scale was tested
with a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the data sets from study two (N = 316) and study three (N = 151). In
all of the data sets, we achieved good model fit and reliabilities. With regard to convergent validity, the scale
correlated positively with related personality traits such as Need for Affect, Empathy, and Experiential Thinking, as
well as consistent genre exposure. It also emerged as strong predictor of situational narrative engagement.

6236. Materialities of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Many faiths practice “testimony,” a narrative form which both asserts individual religious identity and links the
individual to the group by publicly committing the individual to the terms of membership in the ritual community. By
analyzing testimony narratives, the field of Communication studies (however contested or ill defined its terrain) is
uniquely situated to address pressing questions about the processes underlying religious identity formation: indeed,
perhaps one of the most compelling ways to understand religion is as an identity construct derived through the very
act of communicating the self. In this paper, I recount my own experience as audience for a highly ritualized form of
Mormon testimony: the missionary discussions. I contend that missionary narratives, formalized in these discussions,
function as boundary markers for the organization while simultaneously committing individual missionaries to the
group’s formative myths. As the missionaries communicate their testimonies, they give body to the Joseph Smith
experience.

This study explores the impact of continuous involvement in planned encounters between people from the Jewish and
from the Arab-Palestinian communities in Israel on the narratives and the ideology of Israeli-Jews. Specifically, we
examine the extent to which continuous involvement of Israeli-Jewish group facilitators working in major Jewish-
Arab encounter programs in Israel is associated with reported changes in their narratives and attitudes toward the
status of the Palestinian community in Israel and toward the definition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. A
thematic content analysis of 13 in-depth interviews reveals that Jewish facilitators' continuous involvement in
encounters with Palestinians is associated, in most cases, with a reported ideological shift. Specifically, the
interviewees described encounters as raising their awareness to the asymmetric relations between the Jewish and the
Arab-Palestinian communities in Israel, and to claims regarding discrimination towards the Palestinian citizens of
Israel.

This paper presents the work of a group of Palestinian and Israeli teachers and historians who worked together during
the last 12 years under the auspices of PRIME (Peace Research Institute in the Middle East) to develop a history book
composed of two narratives, the Israeli and the Palestinian one, to account for events that happened in the life of these
two national communities during the 20th century. The paper presents the dual narrative idea (as opposed to the the
possibility of developing a joint or bridging narrative), the working process, and some of the methodological,
psychological, didactical and socio-Political aspects regarding the project. Among these aspects the question of
historical truth and narrative truth, the tension between the asymmetry of power and the symmetry between narratives
of these two communities are discussed.

7127. Framing Immigration and Identity in the News
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This content analysis of immigrants in South Africa’s newspapers is couched within the framework of xenophobia,
often expressed in spatial terms, on part of South Africans towards immigrants from other African countries. Some
have suggested that the post-apartheid move to create cohesion within South African spaces has led to this recurrence
of territorial distinctions, this time against outsiders. The media are often blamed for flaming this xenophobia. This
study found that space and spatial exclusion are mentioned in the papers, that government, police and local businesses
have mostly negative descriptions of immigrants and are most often exclusionary in their attitudes, and that
immigrants are often described as an economic threat, but also that there are more positive than negative articles about
immigrants and that a considerable number of descriptions are related to the plight of immigrants as alienated and
afraid. The results are somewhat different from those of previous studies.

National memories can ne used to reconstruct, or reinvent, national identity under certain socio-political
circumstances. This paper examines the discursive construction of national war memory and identity in three flagship
newspapers in East Asia. The Asia-Pacific War has been extremely contested field of international debates over what
actually happened and who should be responsible for war atrocities. Using three prominent topics of debate
(politicians’ visits to Yasukuni Shrine, history textbook revisions, and the Comfort Women issue) as guided entries to
socio-political collective memory, this paper discusses newspaper representations of the war memories and national
identities. A critical discourse analysis was employed for newspaper texts. The analysis shows that Journalism plays a
major role in creating, transmitting, and sharing memories. Commemoration and identity construction in newspapers
directly connected to the politics of memory in East Asia.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The work offers an approach to conceptualizing, demarcating and analyzing a national web. Instead of defining a
priori the types of websites to be included in a national web, the approach put forward here makes use of web devices
(platforms and engines) that purport to provide (ranked) lists of URLs relevant to a particular country. Once gathered
in such a manner, the websites are studied for their properties, following certain of the common measures (such as
responsiveness and page age), and repurposing them to speak in terms of the health of a national web. Are sites lively,
or neglected? The case study in question is Iran, which is special for the degree of Internet censorship undertaken by
the state. Despite the widespread censorship, we have found a highly responsive Iranian web. We also report on the
relationship between blockage, responsiveness and freshness, i.e., whether blocked sites are still up, and also whether
they have been recently updated. Blocked yet blogging, portions of the Iranian web show strong indications of an
active Internet censorship circumvention culture. In seeking to answer, additionally, whether censorship has killed
content, a textual analysis shows continued use of language considered critical by the regime, thereby indicating a
dearth of self-censorship, at least for websites that are recommended by the leading Iranian platform, Balatarin. The
study concludes with the implications of the approach put forward for national web studies, including a description of
the benefits of a national web health index.

Empirical studies have validated that basic needs satisfaction supported by video game play predicts motivation and
engagement outcomes. However, few studies specifically manipulated game features for each of the three basic needs
specified in the self-determination theory (SDT) to examine how the game features impact players’ need satisfaction
and game experience. The current study employed an in-house developed exergame and manipulated the game
features in a 2 (autonomy supportive game features: on vs. off) x 2 (competence supportive game features: on vs. off)
x 2 (relatedness supportive game features: on vs. off) experiment to predict need satisfaction, game enjoyment,
motivation for future play, effort for gameplay, self-efficacy for exercise using the game, likelihood of game
recommendation, and game rating. The manipulated game features led to the corresponding need satisfaction.
Manipulated autonomy supportive and competence supportive game features had main effects on most motivation and
engagement outcomes. Need satisfaction of autonomy and need satisfaction of competence were both found to be
mediators for the relationships between the game features and the motivation and engagement outcomes. The findings
add evidence to support the underlying mechanism postulated by SDT and provide guidelines for design choices of
video games used in intervention-based studies.

Presented at the following event:

6153. Representing "Reality": The Complex and Messy World of Documentary Production
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

In this paper we shed light on the issue of ‘documentary value’, and questions of ‘technico-aesthetic production’ in
particular, that emerge when approaching ‘reality TV’ as an hybrid form located at the intersection of screen
documentary and popular entertainment, from a production perspective. By investigating the articulated perceptions,
motivations and experiences of participants and professionals of the ‘reality show’ variant, characterized by its
extensive and overt measures of contrivance, the subject emerges as a site of negotiation. The proclaimed factual
(documentary) appeal and referential values constantly, and variously, interact with the (professional or commercial)
imperatives of ‘making (good) television’ or television production exigencies generally. Although medium and format
related strategies of selection, scripting, pro-filmic intervention or management and editing are variously deployed to
create a ‘preferred reality’ that is ‘suited’ for (popular) television, program-makers and participants also engage in a
complex reconstruction (rather than mere deconstruction) of the ‘reality values’ of these hybrid media products,
thereby invoking different notions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘realism’.
Negotiating Governance in Virtual Worlds: Grief Play, Hacktivism, and LeakOps in Second Life, Burcu S. Bakioglu,
Lawrence U

Presented at the following event:

6554. Game Studies Interest Group Top Papers
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This paper argues that, in recent years, griefing has developed from a set of linguistic practices that manifests itself as
irreverent language and dicey pranks into serious initiatives with hacktivist undertones in Second Life. Hacktivism
combines the transgressive politics of civil disobedience with the technologies and techniques of computer hackers.
Because the tactical nature of role-playing and gaming provides the anonymity and the cunningness required for
hacktivistic initiatives, griefing bears the potential to take part in the transgressive politics of civil disobedience
attributed to hacktivism. Accordingly, this paper argues that some of the griefing groups in Second Life, or those who
playfully adopt the identity of the griefer and thus engage in grief play, could play a significant role in negotiating
virtual governance, transparency, and privacy. To that end, this paper will examine the leaking operations conducted
by The Wrong Hands against the Second Life’s paramilitary group, Justice League Unlimited.

6522. Cultural Issues in Health Communication: Relationships, Interventions, and Communities
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

International college students have unique “health cultures” that influence their health experiences. This study adopts
an ecological perspective in examining international students’ descriptions of “health” and how they manage their
health in the U.S. International students (N=316) attending a large Midwestern University completed an online survey.
Results from the study suggest that the financial burden of health care in the U.S. influences international students’
health maintenance and how they define health. Efforts to improve international students’ health and use of university
health services should be aimed at increasing international students’ ability to navigate the US health care system.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is a vastly chaotic global problem that is growing exponentially in Thailand and the
surrounding Mekong sub-region. Anti-trafficking Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are responding to this
issue; however, few studies have addressed the communications processes that take place between NGO employees
and trafficking survivors. Thus, the present research sought to assess the way anti-trafficking NGO employees in
Thailand negotiate the experiences of trafficking survivors. The research found that culture strongly influences the
way employees narrate their work experiences and those of the women they serve. In this paper I illustrate how NGO
employees use narratives to cope with uncertainty as they navigate a complex landscape of communication needs,
organizational constraints and personal values. I discuss how culturally based narratives present problems in NGO-
survivor communications processes, and I conclude with a call for female trafficking survivors and their advocates to
become partners in the construction of their self-narratives.

7651. Talk About Sex and Sexual Assault
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Although safe-sex discussion can encourage subsequent condom use behaviors, little research has addressed the
underlying psychological determinants of intentions to discuss condom use with a sexual partner. This project seeks to
fill the void. Results revealed that participants’ sensation-based utilitarian and ego-defensive motivations weakly
predicted intentions to discuss condom use, after controlling for normative, efficacy, and emotional predictors. Gender
and relationship status were significant moderators such that communication efficacy was a more important predictor
of intentions to discuss condom use for those with causal partners (vs. long-term, monogamous) and for females (vs.
males). Anticipated emotions were a stronger predictor of intentions to discuss condom use for those in long-term
monogamous relationships (vs. not). Both theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

5541. Creating Community, Achieving Mission: Communication in Nontraditional Organizations
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The purpose of this study is to provide a thick description of how nonprofits organizations negotiate the meaning of
their organizational identities through the creation and distribution of their key messages. Adopting the perspective of
symbolic interactionism, interviews were conducted with public relations or communication personnel, who act as
proxies for their organizations. The eight nonprofits included in this study represent different sectors of the industry:
arts and culture, government, health, environment, animal welfare, and humanitarian. Using the thematic analysis
approach, seven themes on how nonprofit organizations negotiate the meaning of their identities were identified: (1)
staying true to the mission, (2) personification, (3) resonance with society, (4) one voice, (5) the blame game, (6)
“nature of the beast,” and (7) a necessary partnership.

Presented at the following event:

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This paper explores the spectacular rise of Turkey in Arab media space as one of the most intriguing developments in
transnational political communication in the Middle East. Based on an extensive textual analysis of the coverage of
Turkey in Arabic-language newspapers (more than 100 articles), we examine Arab public discourse about Turkey’s
rise as a regional great power. First we explain Turkey’s courting of “Arab hearts and minds” in the context of the
country’s neo-Ottoman foreign policy. Second, we analyze the recent pan-Arab popularity of Turkish television drama
and cinema. Finally, we discuss the launch of TRT7-al-Turkiyya, a Turkish Arabic-language satellite television
channel, signaling the official entrance of Turkey into the global battle for Arab public opinion alongside US, French
and Russian rivals. In combination, Turkey’s new Arab-friendly foreign policy pronouncements, the rise of its “soft
power” through popular culture, and the establishment of a government-operated Arabic language satellite television
channel, promote Turkey to Arabs and contribute decisively to the construction of what we call Neo-Ottoman Cool,
grounded in a Turkish-inflected accessible modernity attractive to Arabs because it combines hitherto separate and
seemingly contradictory political, economic and socio-cultural elements in one seductive package.

Presented at the following event:

5531. Network Development and Regulation
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

A key step in American ascendancy in international communications was the extension of American control over
communications networks between the United States and Latin America. This paper traces the various alternatives for
“network control” in radiotelegraphy from the Radio Act of 1912 to the creation of the Radio Corporation of America
in 1919 in order to develop a theoretical understanding of the concept. A comparison of U.S. naval control of wireless
stations in the territory of foreign countries, a government-owned integrated radio system in the Western Hemisphere
and the attempt to use private companies demonstrate the ways in which American policymakers came to realize the
limits of territorial control and became convinced that the key to U.S. control over communications networks was
control over the identities and loyalties of companies deploying these networks.

Building on previous theories of framing (Goffman, 1974; Entman, 1973; Tuchman, 1978; Gamson & Modigliani,
1989; Pan & Kosicki, 1993; Scheufele, 1999) and social construction (Bijker et al., 1987), by examining 130 news
articles by world major newspapers, this study explores the media representations of the political impact of social
media in Tunisia and Egypt during December 17, 2010 to February 11, 2011. The current study emphasizes on the
representation of social media only to its political impact during the revolutions in Middle East. A quantitative content
analysis identifies the dominate frames and tones used to construct the political impact of social media in the news
articles among different media outlets. The major findings of content analysis suggest the use of frames and tones
varies by those media outlets in different regions around the world.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The main objective of this study is to better understand the dynamics of empathy and perspective taking associated
with exposure to social behavioral modeling within a television viewing experience.Specific patterns of activity in the
brain’s sensory motor strip are thought to act as a gating mechanism for the motor simulation of cues with social
relevance, and have been associated with empathy and identification with others. Using electrophysiology, we will
measure these event-locked frequency shifts that occur over the sensorimotor strip, with a particular emphasis on “mu
suppression.” This research addresses hypotheses related to the relationship of sensorimotor gating to both
dispositional and state-induced empathy.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

In communication research, it has been claimed that two important characteristics of online political communication,
personalized and interactive two-way communication, can mobilize citizens to become more politically involved. In a
survey-embedded experiment, we examine whether levels of personalization of online political communication and
the use of specific interactive features increases political involvement among citizens. We predicted that personalized
(vs. non-personalized) and high (vs. low) interactive communication both have a positive main effect on involvement.
Furthermore, we expected an interaction effect between interactive and personalized communication. The results
demonstrate that both highly interactive and personalized communication gives individuals the feeling that they have
more opportunities to engage in political dialogues and that there is less distant between them and politics. Moreover,
we also found that the combined effect of personalized, highly interactive communication has an even stronger
positive effect. Thereby, characteristics of new media indeed contribute to citizens’ political involvement.

7237. Hybridizing Global Popular Culture
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Responding to the theoretical inquiry about “which side is prevailing” in global-local dialectic, this article positions
the new Chinese martial arts cinema between 2000 and 2010 as a collective cultural phenomenon to analyze the
Chinese government’s attempt to battle against the global dominance of Hollywood cinema. I argue that new Chinese
martial arts cinema reemerges in a seemingly hybrid mode that conforms to the aesthetics of the Hollywood spectacle
but which reinforces nationalism, patriotism, and orthodox Confucian values that are especially conducive to the
ruling of the state. Furthermore, this genre is a deliberate construction and promotion of Chinese history, culture and
philosophy that is encouraged by the government to advance Chinese soft-power. Therefore, what gets prevailing in
global-local dialectic is in fact the state’s governmental power and the nation’s cultural power, which lead to dubious
and dual functions of new Chinese martial arts films.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Aiming to make Singapore a vibrant hub of culture and the art in Southeast Asia, the Singapore government has put in
remarkable efforts to nurture and promote the creative industry sector. A sustainable culture has, therefore, become an
important foundation for the industry to thrive, and the art, along this line, has also emerged as an important resource
for a sustainable culture. Together with the increasing use of new media by many local art groups or individual artists
for their creative activities, this poses an interesting connection between technology, culture and the art within the
umbrella of sustainability. In-depth interviews with Singaporean artists shed light on what cultural sustainability
means to the artists, how they see themselves in the sustainability process and how information and communication
technologies (ICTs) influence their creative activities. Lastly, by examining sustainability from the cultural
perspective, this study hopes to add another dimension to a concept deeply rooted in the environmental domain.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

My paper addresses the constitution of publics in new media spaces through an economy of affect centered on
experiences of terror. My inquiry centers on the September 11 Digital Archive as well as a dispersed, fragmented
archive of Indian responses to the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 26, 2008. In conversation with scholarship
that describes how 'community' is born in violence, I contend that in the present historical moment, new media spaces
and discourses are central interlocutors in the processes by which community is imagined, experienced, and created. I
demonstrate how both archives foster and reflect the affective creation of publics in terms of three criteria: national
identity (US, India), residents of cities (NY / Washington DC area, Mumbai), and victims of terror. Additionally,
belonging in these overlapping communities yokes together the performative and affective-- membership is claimed
and validated through the online performance of affect engendered by the experience of terror. I also reflect on the
specific ways in which modes of communication in new media might contribute to the shaping of these publics.

7538. Popular Culture and Media in the Diasporic Landscape
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Focusing on Japanese-Brazilian return-migrant workers in Japan, this paper critically engages with the notion that the
internet and the mobile telephony have transnationalizing and reflexivity-enabling potentials. Using the results of the
interviews with Japanese-Brazilian residents in Kobe, Japan, articles of a Portuguese-language newspaper printed in
Japan, and the archive of messages posted on an NGO-run website, this paper argues that while the use of the internet,
mobile phones and other older communication technologies assisted the Japanese-Brazilians to maintain transnational
ties, there are instances where these technologies did not bridge physical distances between Japan and Brazil. These
cases also suggest the existence of persisting difficulties of taking an active control of one’s identity and destiny in
this age of globally connected digital media, and the importance of including non- and moderate users in internet and
mobile phone studies.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Social media tools have opened up vast new means for communication, socialization, expression, and collaboration.
They also have provided new avenues for researchers seeking to explore, observe, and measure human opinions,
activities and interactions. While scholars, professional societies, and institutional review boards have long-
established research ethics frameworks to ensure the rights and welfare of the research subjects are protected, the
rapid rise of powerful social media platforms – where individuals increasingly share personal information on
platforms with porous and shifting boundaries – provide new challenges to long-held ethical assumptions and
guidelines. This talk will present various cases of social media-based research that expose new conceptual gaps in
how we think about privacy, anonymity, consent, and harm in the 2.0 era.

The presentation tries to determine how the Internet has influenced the work practices of journalists (especially the
gatekeepers) in Romania, using data from a qualitative research “The professional practices and constraints of the
Romanian gatekeepers” conducted between December 2010 and January 2011 on a sample of 73 journalists from 67
local and national media outlets. The results of this research prove that the Internet has become for the Romanian
gatekeepers not only a harbinger of the public requirements and criticism, but also a barometer of news consumption
which guides journalists to create the media agenda. The perverse effects of the introduction of Internet in journalistic
practices are considered the creation of the Google reporters and copy-paste and office journalists.

Ample studies have demonstrated the tendency towards ‘churnalism’ or the mounting use of pre-packaged content –
and especially press releases - in contemporary journalism. Most research moreover shows that public relations
mainly benefit mainstream actors in terms of news access (Curtin, 1999; Lewis et al., 2006, 2008a; McManus, 1994).
Yet, this approach of journalist-source relations is increasingly criticised in the context of (digital) network
communication, globalisation and glocalisation, and the rise of a global civil society (Castells, 2008). Moreover,
journalists seem to be less reluctant towards pre-packaged news of ‘advocates of the public interest’ such as non-
governmental organisations (NGO) or citizens (Curtin, 1999; Machill, Beiler and Schmutz, 2006; Reich, 2011). We
set up a content analysis to study how and how far press releases of the Flemish department of the international NGO
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) are adopted in the foreign coverage of four Flemish newspapers (1995-2010).

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Previous research has shown that the explosion of information sources has polarized media users into news junkies
and avoiders. This study uses Nielsen Media Research’s TV-Internet convergence data that electronically record
individuals’ television viewing and Internet use, and assesses the current state of news consumption polarization in
South Korea. The results show that people are indeed polarized into heavy and light news media users, but the
proportion of light news users exceeds that of non-users, indicating people do not tune out from news content entirely.
Contrary to the prediction that news junkies will seek out news in both media platforms, our finding suggests that
news media use happens within the confines of medium, evidenced by the insignificant or negative correlation
between different types of television news and online news. A factor analysis also reveals that people are divided into
television-news-only and Internet-news-only groups.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper seeks to explore whether political reporters present more meticulous, complex and active standards of
news reporting, justifying their special role as enablers of informed citizenry, and help resolve the theoretical
ambiguity regarding news beats as distinct domains of practice. The sample comprised reporters from three beat
clusters – political, financial and territorial – in nine national Israeli news organizations, who were asked to describe,
source by source, how they obtained a sample of their recently published items (N=840), addressing sourcing patterns,
news practices and communication technologies used. As expected, reporting was found distinctive across beat
clusters, with political reporters employing significantly and consistently higher standards although financial
reporters, in contrast to expectations, were not found as the weakest link in the reporting chain. Despite the substantial
differences, the studied beats embody a united community of practice following a similar media logic.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

From a professional vantage point, news is considered the expert judgment of experienced journalists. From a cultural
position, though, news narratives can be seen as artifacts of multiple levels of journalism’s culture (organizational,
professional, institutional), as well as the culture of its society. The problem is in actually detecting these cultural
meanings. Just as a line is defined by two physical points, cultural narratives are best seen by two cultural points. On
their own – especially when viewed from inside a culture – cultural narratives appear flat, inert, and indistinct. Much
is to be gained from comparing news narratives cross-culturally, where a scholar needs to consider the culture of
journalism, the culture of journalism in society, and the culture of the society itself. And that is were the challenges –
and the benefits – lie. To engage in cross-cultural research in this direction requires two or more researchers, each
enmeshed in the culture of a society and its language. Further, this approach requires news texts to appear in each
culture’s native language and come from the same information niche of each society – English language translations
are intended for a different, non-local audience and tend to excise natural cultural meanings in their translation. When
each researcher gives a deep reading to a parallel set of news texts from two societies, a fruitful dialog begins between
the researchers that can help distinguish each journalism’s and society’s culture’s values from within the news.
Conceptually, collective memory and mythical narratives are two particularly useful avenues for this kind of study –
both concepts are infused with cultural values and meanings. For collective memory, journalism’s meanings are drawn
from the meanings of its history, so an event reported through collective memory will be both culturally bound and
culturally reflective. When two culture’s news accounts of the same event are held up together, they will not be mirror
images, but rather, images of the cultural meanings behind the mirrors. Likewise, when two cultures interpret the same
event through their own mythical narratives, they will produce differing narratives that each re-present their culture’s
enduring values and core stories based on the same set of details. Three of my projects illustrate these points: News of
terrorism is culturally bound and presents prime turf for telling a story through different narrative lenses. Further,
terrorism occurring outside of a culture brings a different level of interpretive relevance. A study of two terrorist
bombings in Israel compared Israeli news stories and U.S. news stories. The first bombing occurred outside a
shopping mall during a costumed holiday celebration, the second happened at an international student cafeteria at a
Jerusalem campus. Each event presented different cultural and geographic proximities that shaped the resulting news
narrative: Israeli news repeated a variation of the Holocaust story, while the U.S. news narrative retold the Wild West
story. Likewise, the journalistic paradigm does not mean the same thing in all cultures. A study comparing French and
U.S. news about the Danish Mohammad cartoon controversy again produced two distinct cultural narratives – each
offered an opportunity for news and opinion pieces to revisit what is held dear to national and journalistic cultures.
Although both countries journalists drew upon the same collection of details, the resulting news stories had different
meanings to each national and journalistic culture. For French news, the controversy became a way of restating the
intellectual, interpretive role of the French journalist and reflecting on French secular republican values. The U.S.
news, in contrast, took a less engaged stance, with a neutral interpretation dealing more with freedom of information
than of expression. For both countries, the controversy became a national forum to re-present national values on
religion and multiculturalism as well. The boundaries of acceptable journalistic practice were demonstrated
effectively by the crisis facing Rupert Murdoch in his closure of News of the World and his phone-hacking hearing in
front of Parliament. This project is still in development and employs the same methodological and conceptual
elements. News texts and opinion pieces are being compared from parallel U.S. and U.K. news and opinion content.
The conceptual lens focuses on the role of paradigm and the differences in news meanings between the two cultural
discourses.

race. This event, which has been noted by numerous radio historians, was the first major demonstration of Marconi’s
technology in the United States, and was closely monitored by the U.S. Navy. Very few historical studies, by contrast,
have noted that the Herald continued to experiment with wireless telegraphy for many years to come. This study is the
first comprehensive account of the Herald’s use of wireless telegraphy, and seeks to bridge the gap between prior
works that have looked at newspapers and telegraphy, and those that have examined newspapers and radio. In contrast
to popular perspectives that the internet is a revolutionary new technology, this study also emphasizes that newspapers
have been dabbling with “new media” for more than a hundred years.

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This two part study explores the relationship between violent video games and aggressive behavior while considering
social contexts of play. Study 1 examines aggressive cognitions and behaviors of participants playing cooperatively,
competitively, and solo. Competitive play increased aggressive and cooperative play increased prosocial cognitions,
yet aggressive behavior was not mediated by these cognitions. However, cooperative play decreased aggressive
behaviors. Study 2 examines “playful aggression” coined in this article to explain differences in aggressive behaviors
between cooperative and competitive play from study 1. Participants were randomly assigned to play a violent video
game with a partner in 1 of 3 social contexts (cooperation, direct competition, indirect competition) or were assigned
no game play. Findings indicated that given the opportunity to engage in aggressive and prosocial behaviors
simultaneously competitive participants will utilize both behaviors. Hostile affect mediated decreases in prosocial
behavior for participants in the indirect but not the direct competition condition.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Although the premise behind many video game enjoyment theories is that games are meant to present a reasonable an
appropriate challenge to players, little research actually considers the effects of difficult on enjoyment. In an
experimental study using a casual online game, we test the relationship between difficulty and enjoyment and the
possible mediating roles played by motivations, as specified by Self-Determination Theory, and challenge-skill
balance, as specified by flow theory. Data suggest feelings of competency contribute to enjoyment through challenge-
skill balance, and that competency is enhanced when players are assigned an easier game mode. The study considers
the implications for theory, game design and laboratory studies.

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

In-Game advertisements, which are integrated in the environment of computer and video games, have become a
frequent part of the everyday game experiences of million gamers. Illuminating the interesting aspect of the game
experience from a psychological view the question arises, if the essential game experience of success has a positive
and the experience of failure a negative impact on the advertising effectiveness of the integrated advertising stimuli in
a game? In order to answer this question, we conducted an experimental comparison study (N=40), in which the game
experience of success and failure was varied in a between subject design with two experimental conditions
(success/failure). To implement and manipulate the particular game experience of success and failure and to determine
the location and time for those game experiences and irrespectively of the difficulty level, an adaptable game was
implemented to have a standardized testing environment and to integrate the advertising stimuli. Results show that the
success group had a more positive affective state and additionally the failure group was in less positive affective state
after the game, than before. But the different constructs of advertising effectiveness, such recall performance and
attitude either weren't effected or revealed contrarily significances to the hypotheses. Different explanations for these
findings are discussed and implications for future research in the field of In-Game advertising are made.

The purpose of this paper is to contextualize and situate the importance of the same sex marriage debate in the US
using intersectionality theory. I argue that the “No against Proposition 8 campaign” failed at multiple levels in
reaching out to the African American population and thereby in extension to other minority populations as well as the
LGBTQ community in its role as a campaign trying to unite supporters within and outside in the gay rights movement
in the US. I finally posit for a reexamination of some of the strategies made by the “No against Proposition 8”
campaign and a more nuanced understanding of choices by people of different race, gender or class in order to foster
greater understanding and ultimately a broader coalition and support in regards to the same sex marriage movement
world wide.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

The aim of the study is to describe and evaluate a peer-led model against bullying and cyberbullying carried out with
Italian adolescents. It consists of several steps: 1) the launch of the project and awareness activities with the entire
class; 2) the selection of online and offline peer educators; 3) the day training for peer educators; and 4) the
intervention in face- to- face and online contexts. A pre- and post-intervention comparison between the control group
(N=144) and the experimental group (N=231) showed a significant decrease in victimization and in cyber-
victimization and a tendency to significant decrease in bullying behaviors. Changes in coping strategies seem to have
a mediation role in these reductions, mainly for peer educators who took part more intensively at the intervention.
Results are discussed considering the relation between online and offline adolescents social experience and the
benefits and limitations of this approach.
Nonverbal Sensitivity in Judging Trustworthiness. Holier Than Thou Effect in Brief Exposure Situations, Loredana

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Researches using brief exposure situations (Ambady et al., 1999; Murphy, 2005; Ambady, 2000, 2006) have proved
that people can form accurate impressions on others and they could estimate others performances, quality of
interactions and also personality features or values. The present research tests participants accuracy in judging others
trustworthiness, using thin slices research paradigm (Ambady, 2000). Two groups of Dutch students (45) and
Romanian students (89) had to estimate others behavior – individualist or prosocial – in an interdependency situation.
The accuracy in judging unknown real others proved to be in relation to the size of holier than thou effect and
participants’ real behavior in the situation. Subjects who tend to have an individualist orientation had less chances to
decode others and tend to underestimate their prosociality.

This study’s main objective is to examine the relative impact of televised anti-smoking ads across three primary ad
genres (cessation, health consequences, and secondhand smoke) on smoking-related attitudes and behaviors, in order
to determine if there is a most effective ad genre. We define effectiveness as eliciting most favorable and least
unfavorable attitudes, and leading to the highest quitting intentions.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

A year after the enactment of the Arizona immigration law, this research will consider Spanish-language news
coverage of the new law, specifically the on-air work of Spanish-language networks of Univision and Telemundo. It is
a qualitative analysis of the daily Univision and Telemundo national news coverage, complemented with a
quantitative study of the Univision 6:30 pm newscast coverage, from the beginning of April 2010 until the end of May
2010.It includes every story aired on Univision that explains issues pertaining to the Arizona Senate Bill (S.B. 1070)
and reactions of U.S. immigrant communities, immigration activists, anti-immigration activities and local, national
and international representatives and governments. National newscasts broadcast by Univision and Telemundo offered
distinctly different coverage of Latino-and immigrant-related issues from their counterparts in English-language
media. Spanish-language media openly lobbies for their community interests through more extensive and more
nuanced reporting. Setting up broadcast operations in the heart of downtown Phoenix, these networks broadcast
several national shows with their top reporters and anchors. They built counter frames not only as a reaction but also
as alternatives to the negative identifications of some mainstream media outlets. In this sense, Univision and
Telemundo covered local and national reactions of the Latino community, contributing to empower and shape a
common identity among legal U.S. residents and U.S. citizens of Latino descent and undocumented Latino
immigrants.

7555. Information Seekers and Their Strategies
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Information about the context of one’s communication partner – awareness information -- can improve interruption
timing and foster interaction in distributed groups. Less is known, however, about whether people will expend effort
to retrieve this information, when and how awareness information is used, and if it can have relational impact. This
paper presents an experiment comparing dyads performing a collaborative task with and without awareness
information. Results show that awareness information positively impacted performance, and that participants
expended effort to seek out the information. Second, awareness information was used in two ways: participants used
awareness information to predict when their partners were available, in addition to using it after interruptions to
understnd their partners’ unexpected behavior. This suggests shifting how we view awareness information, from
predictive usage to treating it as an element in an ongoing process. Additionally, awareness information had a positive
relational impact, which suggests utility beyond efficiency gains.

Defectors and Medical Providers in South Korea, Soo Jung Hong, Pennsylvania State U

Presented at the following event:

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

The differences in views on the causes of prescription non-adherence between North Korean defectors and medical
providers in South Korea were examined. The differences found in this study were 1) physical symptom vs.
psychological/socio-cultural influence, 2) trust on self-diagnosis and previous belief system vs. suspicion caused by
the beliefs and trust, 3) nonexistence of treatment fitting body vs. existence of tolerant bacterial strains, and 4) slow
treatment due to capitalization vs. lack of understanding in staged treatments. The findings address complex issues
concerning the non-adherence problem and suggest possible solutions for them. The dilemmas occurred in the context
of subjective/objective health assessment and patient centered care. And the possible causes of the dilemmas could be
identified as locus health assessment and low health literacy/medical knowledge. Therefore, therapy negotiation and
education were suggested as possible solutions, and as an agenda, the notion of civic friendship was addressed.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Between Twitter revolutions and Facebook elections, there is a growing belief that information and communication
technologies are changing the way democracy is practiced. The discourse around e-government is frequently focused
on technical solution and based in the belief that if you build it correctly they will come. This paper departs from the
literature on digital divide to examine barriers to online civic participation. Based on analysis of practices that evolved
in a research project that works with federal government agencies in helping them engage public in the process of
rulemaking, this paper draws a complex picture of motivation, skill, and general political participation divides. It
illustrates the “analog” aspects of the digital divide in online civic participation and discusses some of the potential
solutions and associated costs.

Presented at the following event:

8240. Controlling the Promotional Flow: Managing Discourse and Data in Popular Music Culture
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper argues that “hype” merits greater and more considered scholarly attention in the field of media and
communication studies. Hype is more than a word that has permeated the popular lexicon; it is, I shall argue, a
common and powerful dynamic of cultural circulation that is a telling feature of the increasingly digitized,
promotional culture in which we currently reside. As a genre of communication, a communicative cycle, and a
rhetoric that indexes the value of both communication and the objects it describes, hype highlights the centrality of
promotion as well as its discontents—the disbelief, cynicism, and backlash that are inherent features of a thoroughly
commodified communication environment. This paper draws examples from the sphere of popular music to showcase
how a theoretical understanding of hype may be used not only to better explain the contemporary environment, but
also to develop critical tools for analyzing and potentially challenging it. Devon Powers is Assistant Professor of
Communication, Department of Culture and Communication, Drexel University. Her research focuses on the
intermediation and circulation of popular music, from the mid-20th century to the present. With Melissa Aronczyk,
she co-edited the book Blowing Up the Brand: Critical Perspectives on Promotional Culture (Peter Lang, 2010), which
explores the expansion of promotion and branding beyond the realm of business and marketing and into myriad
corners of everyday life. She is also completing a monograph about the history of rock music criticism, under contract

5555. IAMCR Panel: Critical Approaches to Communication and Community
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

The term 'community' has been used and overused in popular and academic discourses to express entities and
networks as diverse as national and international communities; locally defined, interest-led and 'imaginary'
communities; community radio and online communities; business communities as well as non-profit entities; etc. In
this presentation we will a) review briefly the diversity of the term and its uses, b) discuss the relevance of the notion
of community in light of contemporary social and political transformations, and c) propose conclusions for the field of
media and communication. Several authors have observed that the relevance of the traditional 'national community' is
challenged, and societies are facing a fragmentation of the nation state in favor of a multiplicity of other forms of
aggregation, including communities of interest, migrant and diaspora communities, and a myriad of virtual
communities. The rise of community media and online communities reflects this process. At the same time, the
collectivity of communities is equally questioned as loose and temporary networks (or clouds) of individuals are
emerging as key social actors. Social bonds are continuously being transformed along the coordinates of
formality/informality and collectivity/individualism. This has implications for established notions of the public, and
thus for public service media, but also for earlier generations of community media. It questions organizational forms
of non-governmental and public-interest entities, and the institutionalized mechanisms of policy-making. This
presentation is based on a survey amongst media users and media activists, qualitative interviews, and the work of the
IAMCR Community Communication Section and the Emerging Scholars Network. The authors are Vice-Chair of the
former and Co-Chair of the latter, respectively.

The current development of smartphones and ubiquitous computing allows an increasing number of communication-
based or knowledge-based activities to be performed on the move. Mobile users must therefore manage
simultaneously their mobilities, and their engagement with their mobile screens. Users are unremittingly engaged in
such a practical accomplishment, but it often involves low level methods and adjustment to fleeting contingencies, so
that most of it remains unattainable to traditional interview or survey-based studies. We report here on an observation
method combining the direct video capture of screen based activities as well as users wearing camera glasses, in order
to obtain evidence of the skills and methods involved in the use of smartphones during transportation. We have
recruited 10 users who agreed to wear the recording apparatus during their commuting trips between home and work
for one week. We will discuss here examples taken from subway commutes in which the users connects to Facebook,
and one significative instance in which the user actually checks his location in. We argue how: - Such embodied
conduct can be argued to provide evidence for switches between engagement in screen-based activities and mobility
concerns - The visual monitoring of the transport environment occurs mostly with respect to temporary stops in
station. It may be related to mobility concerns (such as the prospection of relevant cues such as station names) or the
management of other persons in such a public place setting (monitoring people entering or leaving one’s proximity
space, exchanges of looks on the civil inattention mode, etc.) - However we show how a recognizable transition point
in the screen activity such as a downloading delay is almost systematically treated as an opportunity to monitor the
transport environment, independently of what goes on with the physical mobility at the time. This patterning of gaze
allocation in relation to the temporal organization of the activities on the mobile terminal, provides an empirical sense
of what it means to be “absorbed” by mobile phone activities in an urban public setting. - The Facebook Place location
check -n example seem to involve a distinctive gazing pattern in which the user is oriented towards the prospection of
‘geographical’ cues, even if they are informationally redundant. This suggests a particular orientation towards spatial
cues when using locative media on the move, in line with a ‘respace-ing of place’ type of argument (Dourish et, 2008).

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Balancing the desire to reveal and conceal, making decisions about who and how much to disclose, and attempts at
managing private information once it is shared are all challenges individuals routinely face (Petronio, 2002). Using a
community sample of individuals (N = 273) reporting on privacy violations, our study is the first to our knowledge
that examined how approach and withdrawal strategies to boundary turbulence coincided with emotions (anger, hurt,
and fear) and relationship consequences. Our findings show that using integrative communication and feeling low
levels of anger can lead to positive relational outcomes after an incident of boundary turbulence. On the other hand,
feeling negative emotions, engaging in distancing, and the combination of anger and distributive communication
predict negative relational outcomes. In light of these findings, our study frames boundary turbulence as disruptive,
but as having the potential to function as an obstacle or an opportunity for interpersonal relationships.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Occupy Wall Street protesters’ signs reflect anger at income inequality, corporate influence in government, student
debt, and cast light on issues which are otherwise concealed, or ignored, because they do not fit dominate social
standards or traditional American values. From a social action theory perspective, signs are grounded examples of
grass-roots forces attempting to generate cultural and political change. Using an advertising perspective and
contextualizing messages in social and cultural terms, important issues raised by the protesters can be identified and
analyzed. Results can enrich discourse of challenges. This paper is an exploratory investigation of 55 Occupy Wall
Street signs using content analysis. It attempts to answer questions: How are the Occupy Wall Street protesters
communicating their messages through signs; what are the issues; and how do the issues relate to advertising models?
A review of literature on social action theory, persuasion, and advertising provide a framework for analysis.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This study draws on field reports, visual documentation, and semi-structured interviews from multiple Occupy
protests camps (Boston, DC, New York, and Los Angeles, at the time of writing this abstract), as well as on both
qualitative and quantitative data from the occupyresearch.net <http://occupyresearch.net>distributed movement
research process, to examine the rich field of social movement media and ICT practices within the Occupy movement.
Social movement theorists have long approached ‘media’ as a static entity, as an outcome of effective social
movement mobilizations, and as a dependent variable in the analysis of key factors of social movement success. Yet
the media ecology has been radically transformed by the mass (if unequal) spread of digital media literacies to ever
broader segments of the population. Increased digital media literacies mark a shift in social movement communication
practices, as stories about and documentation of movements are generated and circulated not only by a small number
of ‘media specialists’ or by mass media outlets, but also by everyday movement participants. Critically engaging with
the daily practices of media production and circulation, within and between Occupy protest camps, can help us better
understand these new modes of participatory movement media making and the implications for social movement
studies.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper focuses on modernity, gendered ethnicity and media by examining the circulation of ethnic and racial
myths, stories, signs and symbols between India and the United States. As India assumes salience as an “emergent”
Asian power, how does the Indian and the South Asian American get ethnically coded within U.S. media? In other
words, through what processes are India and the South Asian American coded as modern and ethnic? On the other
hand, how does the Indian media, which has championed neo-liberalism, represent race and the racialized body? In
exploring such questions, I will discuss the centrality of difference (race, gender, class, and ethnicity) to modernity
and global capitalism. I will look at a range of popular cultural artifacts including popular film music from
commercial Hindi cinema which feature iconic Hip Hop and R&B artistes like Ludacris, Snoop Dog and Akon, the
popular U.S. television musical Glee and a documentary and fictional account on outsourcing and call centers to draw
out the discursive patterns that give form to modernity and gendered ethnicity in these “new times.”

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper looks at offensive and controversial advertising in China over the last three decades in the broader contexts
of China’s rapid social economic, political, cultural, and legal transformations. Specific questions include: What kind
of advertising is considered controversial/offensive over time? Who determines what is controversial/offensive? Are
there differences between controversial/offensive ads placed by foreign producers and those launched by Chinese
advertisers? If so, how? How does the changing communication technological environment bring about new changes
in controversial/offensive advertising? I argue that controversial advertising is shaped by the dynamics of political
logic and commercial logic in China over time. Ads launched by Chinese and foreign advertisers are controversial for
different reasons: while the former are often criticized because of their low taste, vulgarity and sometimes illegality,
the latter are often linked with foreign advertisers’ inappropriate use of and insensitivity toward Chinese cultural
symbols. New communication technologies, especially the Internet and various applications of Web 2.0, have become
increasingly important in defining what is controversial

This study tested the reproduction hypothesis that the Internet produces positive payoffs for those in privileged social
positions, while disfavoring marginalized communities. Using a national sample of adult Internet users (n = 419), the
first premise of this study investigated the impacts of (1) socio-demographic status, (2) Internet access indicators, and
(3) their interactions on the variations of capabilities, as assessed through discrete measures of information skill and
knowledge. The second premise introduced the factor of individual motivation in interaction with socio-demographics
and Internet access indicators. Hierarchical logistic regressions showed manifest divide in age and gender, with the
significant interactions indicating that Internet access exacerbates existing disparities. The reinforcement of digital
divide was particularly salient in knowledge dimensions. The findings are discussed with regard to the conditions that
incubate systematic differences in people’s ability to understand or resist data surveillance. Implications for policy
initiatives are offered.

Although the navigability of digital interfaces has been long discussed as a key determinant of media effects of Web
use, existing scholarship has not yielded a clear conceptual understanding of navigability, nor how to measure
perceived navigability as an outcome. The present paper attempts to redress both, and proposes that navigability be
conceptually examined along three dimensions, namely logic of structure, clarity of structure, and clarity of target. In
addition to this multi-dimensional explication of navigability, we also introduce and validate a scale to measure
perceived navigability, and suggestions for incorporating the scale into future user-centered studies of digital
interfaces are proposed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Brazil participates as an exporter of television, music, film and digital media in three distinct transnational spaces or
markets, which permits an interesting comparison of cultural and industry dynamics and theories that try to explain
aspects of media globalization. Brazil is a visible worldwide exporter, but is not currently and importer much like
Japan or even Korea. Why has this changed since the height of its telenovela export in the 1990s? Even more
interestingly, Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, but not its biggest cultural exporter. So what trumps
geographic proximity? It shares similar economics, racial issues, geo-political relationships, and quite comparable
colonial history with Latin America. Spain even controlled Brazil for different eras when it controlled Portugal. Brazil
is a much bigger cultural presence in countries that seem much more different from it: Angola, Guinea Bissau, East
Timor. What is it about the specific traces of the old Portuguese Empire that makes Brazil such a powerful cultural
presences in its other former colonies and even in Portugal itself?

How can we gain a better understanding of public relations rhetoric? This essay takes stock of the analytical building
blocks that can be found in the public relations research and addresses the question raised in the introduction to this
special issue: Can external organizational rhetoric help make society a good place to live? It is argued that whereas the
literature on crisis communication and the concept of apologia—speech of self-defense—is fairly extensive, analysis
of other subfields and types of public relations dis- course is needed. Following the modification of its original
epistemological basis, the concept of the rhetorical situation helps guide this endeavor. Such analysis can form a basis
for a critical discussion of whether organizational rhetoric helps improve society.

The comparisons between a hyperlink network and a clickstream network show that users do not follow the hyperlinks
in navigation, but create their own pathways. As a consequence, all hyperlink-based algorithms developed for
predicting the website traffic, including the PageRank algorithm, are biased. To address this problem, we
systematically investigate the structural properties of the clickstream network and uncover the loop structure on it. By
modeling the loops we construct a new hyperlink network that allows the better prediction of the website traffic by the
PageRank algorithm.

Drawing on quasi experimental data from participants in structured and moderated deliberations on sexual minority
rights in Poland, this study tests the relationship between attitude importance, certainty, intensity and extremity, their
antecedents and consequences for several democratically important outcomes (i.e., perceived disagreement, negative
affect, attitude polarization, self-reported polarization, argument repertoire and political participation). This study also
asks whether these attributes exert different effects than a composite attitude strength index. Although factor analysis
suggests that these attributes represent one construct, they are differently affected by deliberation and exert
differential effects. The analyses further reveal that relying on the composite index obscures substantial information
and inaccurately represents strength-related processes and functions. Theoretical, methodological and practical
implications are discussed.

This study proposed a cognitive model that conceptualized Third-Person Perception (TPP) as one type of comparative
social judgments (in the domain of media influence), in that it shares the common underlying cognitive mechanisms.
The derived hypotheses were tested with web-based quasi-experimental data (N=511). Results showed evidence for
the exposure, social distance, and attribution error explanations. Individuals utilized various factors in media effects
schema to estimate message effects on self and target others. There was evidence that TPP was a function of
assimilation and contrast effects. There was also evidence that there were anchoring effect, and assimilation and
contrast effects in media effects schemas also tend to emerge when self was the anchor. Implication and directions for
future research on TPP were discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Despite an agreed upon understanding of self-management as a motivating incentive the discourses used about self-
management reveal apparent discrepancies in the understandings of and assumptions made about the concept. It is on
the one side captured in discourses of emancipation, hence focusing on e.g. freedom, autonomy, self-control, self-
rationality, and individuality while contrasted by a practice-oriented perspective using management discourses that
focus on structural and organizing mechanisms such as e.g. team-based, facilitation, guidance, coaching, feedback,
learning, training and selective recruitment. This paper discusses the discrepancy and ambiguity that these uses of
different discourses on self-management display. The discrepancy clearly refers to the paradox of structure and agent.
To solve this paradox in relation to self-management, the paper offers a dialogical understanding of self-management.

ABSTRACT Introduction Since its introduction in the late 20th century, mobile communications have played an
indispensable part in contemporary human lives. Mobile telephone is an intrusive and pervasive telecommunications
technology with its ability to reach a person at any time and any location and to access whatever information mobile
users want (Pew Research, 2011). The ubiquitous nature of mobile communications has been seamlessly integrated
voice and data communications into people’s daily life. Without their convergence with the Internet and social media
applications, mobile devices are technologies that have communicative, social, psychological, and cultural
implications. Mobile communications have changed rapidly in the past decade. Although quantitative research on
what motivates people to use mobile communications is abundant and what impacts that using mobile
communications have created on people’s daily life (see Oksman & Turtiainen, 2004; Pew Research, 2011; UC
Berkeley Conference on Mobile Impact, 2010), research is lacking as to what will happen to people if their access to
mobile devices are suspended temporarily in one day. To better understand the effects of mobile device on people’s
life, I propose to study through an experiential sampling method to collect data that will help examine the importance
of mobile communications to people’s daily life by creating a situation that people will be removed from their access
to mobile devices. Due to global diffusion of the mobile communications, the examination of how people will respond
when they do not have access to mobile devices will be even more interesting if we compare cross-cultural data. The
history of mobile diffusion in different countries helps account for the extent of mobile devices as integrated into
people’s daily life. Method The research proposes to uses modified experience sampling method (henceforth, ESM) to
collect and analyze mobile phone users from U.S. (48.81% penetration), Mexico (25.45% penetration), and Taiwan
(100% penetration) (NaitonMaster.com, 2010). These countries represent different penetration rates of mobile phones
as cultural dimensions (Hofstedes, 2001; de Mooij & Hofstede, 2002). The rationale behind the selection of ESM is
mainly because the daily experiences that mobile phones user have is difficult to observe and analyze. Furthermore,
real-time interactions with other mobile phone users around the world have further introduced spatial, temporal, and
cultural elements into their daily experiences. ESM is a quasi-naturalistic method that involves prompting participants
to respond to questions designed by researchers (Khan, Markopoulos, & IJsselsteijn, 2007). The techniques allow
powerful tool to collect data to demonstrate participants’ experiences (Khan, Markopoulos, & IJsselsteijn, 2007). A
total of 150 participants (50 from each country) will be included in the sample to track their momentary experiences
when mobile devices are removed from them in one day. The study will examine how people respond to the new
situations without their mobile devices by recording their experiences each hour. In this study, I also use a multi-
method approach by integrating a naturalistic experimental method to test how people respond to selected pre-
determined tasks. For example, participants will be prompted in the instruction card, asking them about their
emotional and cognitive responses when they are asked to contact their friends, check their bank account, read news,
find out what is going on in their offices, etc. Collected data will be analyzed by examining country-specific
differences in emotional and cognitive responses, as well as commonalities among cross-cultural mobile phone users.
Analyses of these data help mobile researchers the relative importance of mobile devices to peoples in different
countries. Theoretical Framework Geert Hofstede’s 5-D cultural dimension framework will be used to interpret
crosscultural data collected from ESM. The national cultural characteristics in the current study have been chosen on
the basis of Hofstede’s (2001) renowned model in international research that examined the relationship between
cultural values and their behaviors in an organization. Hofstede (2001) developed his cultural value dimensions on the
basis of extensive cross-national data from IBM employees during the 1960s. Each dimension ranges from 0 to 100,
except for the LTO index. Hofstede’s cultural value system includes the following cultural dimensions:
collectivism/individualism (COL/IDV), uncertainty avoidance (UAI), power distance (PDI), masculinity-femininity
(MAS-FEM), and long term orientation (LTO) indices. Hofstede’s (2001) cultural dimension framework has been
widely applied in cross-cultural consumer research in international advertising and marketing areas (de Mooij &
Hofstede, 2002; Overby, Gardial, & Woodruff, 2004; Taylor, 2005). Deriving from this framework, the research
expects to examine if mobile phone users’ cultural differences help account for the influence of mobile phone usage
on their daily experiences when their access to mobile devices are removed. Expected Findings and Research
Contribution Given the global diffusion of mobile communications around the world, it is important to examine how
mobile phone users in each country experience this innovative technology and application. This proposed research
aims to use ESM as a methodological innovation to document how users feel in their daily life when mobile devices
are removed. Past mobile studies have mostly focused on how people use mobile devices and how people self-report
mobile devices are important to them (Pew Research, 2011). Combining with the naturalistic experimental method,
the study aims to include the scenario-based prompt to enrich the data collection process. The study findings will
provide a large amount of rich data to document the impacts of this technology on people’s daily life. The study
expects to find country-specific differences will be able to account for mobile phone users’ experiences without
having access to mobile devices. Theoretically, this study functions as the first step to examine users’ experiences in
using other mobile phone devices and applications (such as I-Phone, GPS).

Presented at the following event:

8223. Understanding Media Users
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Chronemic research explores the involvement of time-related messages in communication, and has shown that time is
an important component of the message in both traditional and online communication. Social information processing
(SIP) theory posits that online communicators exchange social information through chronemic cues. This study points
to a gap in SIP theory research, and suggests that it is also necessary to examine chronemics as the dependent variable
in the process of online exchange of social information and to demonstrate that changes in important social attributes
are reflected in measurable chronemic changes. A two-person social dilemma online game is used to demonstrate that
changes in a simple chronemic variable reflect differences in two major components of the players’ personalities
(extraversion and agreeableness), as well as differences in dyadic trust within the team. These findings support SIP
theory by showing how chronemics provide reliable cues to important personal and situational information.

This study content analyzes the comments posted immediately after the stories published on two online newspapers
and investigates political discussion involvement reflected in the comments posted in online newspaper forums. More
than one-third of the comments on the online newspapers involve disagreement expressions towards others’ opinions,
and the comments provide fewer reasons for others’ opinions than for one’s own opinions. Online disagreement
expression is positively related to opinion reasoning and discussion involvement. The finding’s implication for online
newspaper’s role in deliberative democracy is discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Critical thinking and argument skills are significant for developing a range of competencies for participating in
society, including moral development. Hence, the focus in this research is on argument discourse skill, and on
exploring the effectiveness of a particular intervention – online educational games - as a context for enhancing
argument skills, and serving as a platform for moral development. This research examined a specific computer
simulation called, Place Out of Time, which involved 168 students in five schools from middle through graduate
school over a 10 week time period. Here two studies are presented. The first focused on argumentative discourse,
finding that students utilize questioning distinct ways not before seen in literature. The second situated these findings
by exploring evidence of larger educational development. It is concluded that this context, and online educational
simulations, may present a unique and especially effective development of argumentation skills, as well as moral
development.

This narrative and discourse analysis documents the news coverage of a fire in Shanghai by the Chinese press,
represented by a party newspaper and three urban dailies. The findings illustrate the way commercial urban dailies
side with their urban civic-minded readers to create an alternative news discourse that differs from that of the party
journalism in China. The discourse analysis provides an empirical illustration of a new constructionist approach to
community structural analysis. The interaction between the press and the online public, and the convergence of news
production and consumption processes, have essentially changed the news framing process. This signifies a shift of
the journalist paradigm towards a participatory model in the contemporary Chinese news environment.

5550. Online Experiences and Behaviors
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This study investigates the effects of sensational photographs and writing styles on viewers’ cognitive and affective
processing of online news. 62 undergraduate students were shown 4 online news stories. Participants’
psychophysiological reactions as well as self-report data were measured. The results generally supported the Limited
Capacity Model. Physiological results suggest that sensational photographs and sensational writing styles both
increase attention. Moreover, sensational photographs were able to elicit greater arousal than neutral photographs. In
addition, cued recall of information in news stories with a sensational writing style was more accurate than in stories
with a regular writing style. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This study examined the relationship between online participation and political efficacy in a transitional society. The
question was explored from two perspectives. One was how online participation influenced political efficacy; the
other was whether there were differences between the influences on the three dimensions of political efficacy, namely
the internal efficacy, external efficacy, and collective efficacy. Through a random-sample survey and focus group
interviews in Xiaman City of China, this study found that online participation had positive influence on internal
political efficacy, but no influence on external and collective efficacy. The implications of the findings were also
discussed.

This article investigates community-oriented Internet participation and its association with traditional predictors of
civic engagement. The analysis brings to light larger questions about the democratic potential of new media venues
serving diverse local communities. Taking a Communication Infrastructure Approach, the study evaluates the extent
to which individuals active in participatory digital spaces are embedded into the fabric of their local community.
Results suggest that community-oriented Internet participation is linked to civic engagement, organizational
membership, frequency of interpersonal discussions and intergroup interactions. A disconnect between online
participants and local media suggests a need to rethink the role of community news outlets in the context of an ever
diminishing neighborhood coverage.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Communication technology is challenging traditional self-presentation strategies and behavior. Deliberate image
construction is becoming more difficult because of the increasing number of information sources about individuals
online. The present study examines a range of self-presentation behaviors on Facebook by drawing on self-
discrepancy theory and contingencies of self-worth. Results from survey data show that users (N = 248) who stake
their self-esteem on public evaluations and who have heterogeneous social networks are more strategic in the
management of tagged photos and text-based updates in the form of wall posts. Furthermore, the interaction between
social network size and diversity explains how often users share photos and text-based updates. While female
participants share more content online, they are also more active in managing others’ responses to this information.
Implications for improving privacy management tools on social network sites and educating users about strategic self-
presentation are discussed.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Singapore opposition parties have always been marginalized because of a pro-ruling party mainstream media and
restrictions on election advertising and campaigning. Even the internet failed to help opposition parties in their
campaigning in previous elections as parties encountered resource limitations and legal constrains on online
campaigning. The 2011 general election in Singapore, however, saw extremely high levels of expectation on the
internet’s potential in enhancing opposition parties’ campaign efforts. Such buoyant sentiments rested on new
legislation liberalising internet election advertising in 2010, as well as a large percentage of young voters participating
in the election for the first time. This study examines functions and strategies of Singapore political parties websites
and Facebook pages during the election to determine whether the internet helped opposition parties level the playing
field this time round.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

With the rise of Facebook and Twitter news is increasingly mediated through social media platforms. This paper
theorizes the feedback loop of audience engagement and news sites via social media platforms. Online + is a way to
describe the function of social media and news around: distribution, curation, branding/identity, conversation,
reporting, and funding. Audiences experience socially curated news. However, news sites lose out on Web traffic and
revenue.Nonetheless, audiences may be subject to microtargeting by news corporations as they are aided by social
media to fine-tune news recommendations. Yet, the opportunities for audience engagement with journalists has never
before been more tangible. As evidence, the dynamics of new platforms like Washington Post’s Social Reader and
WSJ Social are explored. I probe the question for democratic discourse at a time when social media increasingly
moderates the relationship between news and audiences.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper explores how Queer As Folk supplements its representation of LGBT individuals by experimenting with an
unusual narrative and aesthetic that allows the show to have a queer narrative structure. This paper argues that as a
television program Queer As Folk incorporates aesthetic techniques, like sequences that collapse time and space, that
enact Halberstram’s theoretical framework of queer temporality. The series also experiments with techniques that
destabilize models of reality and linearity in favor of models that embrace affect, experience and spontaneity. I
ultimately claim that the series use of narrative and aesthetic techniques allows the series to question norms of
reproductive futurity and heteronormativity through the destabilization of narrative norms of progressive linearity,
realism and narrative closure. This, I argue, makes Queer As Folk a program that placeness queerness beyond the
surface into its structural core.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement was born from the culture-jammers at Adbusters magazine. Its early
formation was led by political organizers steeped in New York's radical political community. As the movement grew,
it drew an influx of attention and participation from more-traditional progressive organizations - including labor
unions and progressive "netroots" organizations in particular. In the process, classic tensions have surfaced between
two competing "ontologies of organizing" -- activism-as-public-art versus activism-as-public-process. This paper
looks at the formation and expansion of the OWS movement, highlighting the tensions between radical, culture-
jamming activism and institutional progressive activism. It pays particular attention to the variant roles that digital
media tools played in supporting this competing tactical repertoires.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Open source software (OSS) communities are typically geographically dispersed and multisited, which means
developers work, communicate, and collaborate online. As the innovative potential of development is becoming clear,
organizations are faced with the challenge of creating hybrid-structures that constrain the peer production of an OSS
development model without losing the social characteristics that makes OSS development successful. Through the
Android Developer Challenges, this study looks at one such model of hybrid-OSS development. This ‘challenge
approach’ to OSS is a curious one, given that competition runs counter to many OSS work and communicative
practices. This paper analyzes how the competition structure affected communication between developers and created
tensions in community work practices, organization, and community governance. The account contributes to a better
comprehension of a unique OSS community building strategy while also understanding how competition can mediate
how OSS developers communicate and cooperate online.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In recent years, journalists and technologists have begun organizing and collaborating, both formally and informally,
in loose networks like Hacks/Hackers and in major newsrooms—with a shared interest in exploring the future of
news, particularly through open source software programming. Our paper addresses how open source as architecture
and culture—as both tools of production and a set of hacker ethics—can inform journalism. We identify four values of
open source culture that may sound like journalism values but are different, and in fact can be expanded to re-imagine
journalism: transparency, tinkering, iteration, and participation. We examine and critique how open source has been
deployed in newsrooms thus far, and propose new frameworks for rethinking how open source might lead to a broader
rethinking of journalism’s underlying norms, practices, and values.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm

Research suggests that news slant, personal opinion and high involvement may foster inaccurate impressions of citizen
support for environmental policies. Secondary analysis of experimental data showed that Democrats and Republicans
accurately assessed news articles as being favorable or unfavorable to Bush Administration policies regarding ANWR
oil drilling and Kyoto treaty ratification. However, each perceived the articles as relatively more favorable to the other
side. This study adds to the literature by demonstrating that the effects of relative hostile media perceptions and
personal opinion on estimated support for Bush environmental policies varied based on the favorable or unfavorable
slant of the articles. Reading articles espousing contrary positions led to polarization of personal views and an
increased tendency to project those views onto others when estimating citizen preferences. Only when article slant
aligned with personal views did relative hostile media perceptions moderate the effect of personal opinion on public
opinion judgments.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper analyzes a gossip episode among a group of friends in which participants construct morally questionable
identities for others with regard to class and gender. The paper employs discourse analysis of a video recording of
naturally-occurring conversation among a group of friends engaging in an approximately five-minute gossip episode
which included four “gossip stories.” This paper argues that participants interactionally produce situated cultural
meanings and moral stances toward communicative actions associated with class and gender. Specifically, certain
ways of talking, dressing, comporting and interacting with others are entertainingly presented as inappropriate class or
gender performances. Through gossip practices, participants reconstitute cultural norms regarding class and gender in
the U.S. in their everyday discourse.

The purpose of the present study is to explore how public relations practitioners negotiate and communicate
organizational identities during a merger and during the subsequent integration process. In-depth interviews were
conducted with public relations practitioners who were involved in the merger of two financial service industry
companies in the United States. The interviews were triangulated with a qualitative content analysis of the companies’
websites. Using the thematic analysis approach, the nine themes emerged demonstrate how public relations
practitioners at the merged company communicated and negotiated continuous and consistent identities with internal
and external audiences during a merger.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Organizational transparency is generally defined, in a simplistic manner, as an information flow directed by the
organization to its constituents. In addition, empirical knowledge on how transparency is enacted in daily
organizational practices through communicative interactions is scarce. In addressing this gap this paper asks two key
questions: How is organizational transparency translated in everyday organizing practices through communication?
What are the implications of transparency on the identities of the organization and its key stakeholders? This paper
examines transparency as a practice of communicating social and ethical accounts. The theoretical lens draws on the
intersection of insights from Martin Heiddeger's work with CCO (communicative constitution of organization) for
problematizing the origin, creation and implications of organizational transparency. The paper is based on an
organizational ethnographic study of a lobbying agency in Brussels. The preliminary results bring important insights
for the scholarship and practice of transparency in an organizational context.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

At present, disruptive innovations driven by technology evoke change in several markets. Glancing at the German
book industry this becomes obvious: To succeed in the period of change publishers need to adopt innovations, e.g.
implement e-books into their portfolio. Yet in the book industry, the adoption of new technologies is not a
commonplace: despite being the second biggest book market worldwide, only 1.2 percent of all published books in
Germany are available as e-books. This problem leads us to investigating the factors that determine whether
publishing companies decide in favor or against entering the e-book market. The main findings of our standardized
survey of decision makers show that individual characteristics of the management and the company’s corporate
culture strongly predict adoption. Also, organizational communication seems to be critical. Taking this into account,
the key resource to enabling innovation adoption seems to be information underlining the necessity of communities of
practice.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Multiteam systems (MTSs) comprised of specialized teams organize within and across organizational boundaries to
accomplish goals too large to be accomplished by any single team. MTSs face competing pressures: closure versus
efficiency. Although many closely-knit relationships will hold the system together, finite cognitive, emotional, and
physical resources of individuals call for efficiency. Relational pluralism provides a useful lens for understanding the
tripartite, think/feel/do relationships whose emergent patterns underpin MTS performance. We test ideas about the
origins, coevolution, and consequences of relational pluralism in a sample of 77, 6-person MTSs performing a
laboratory-based humanitarian aid task.

8122. Divine Databases
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Orthoprax: Judaism and Accounting This paper will explore the relationship between practice and counting in biblical
and rabbinic conceptions of Jewish obligation. I will argue that the biblical emphasis on counting strongly frames
Rabbinic approaches to Judaism as a practice-oriented religion. The Rabbinic notion of “divine database” sees direct
application in the media-savvy application of Chabad, whose notions of religious obligation are intimately tied to, and
furthered by, their application of technology. The connection between technology, religion, and accounting, I argue, is
rooted in rabbinic interpretations of biblical “databases,” framed around a notion of the divine as an account. This
approach is fundamental to the framing of Jewish obligation around practice rather than thought or intention, a
framing, I claim, that emerges directly out of biblical engagements with numeric/data base technology.
Other Cultures are Always Present: Identity Negotiations in Hopi Communities, Ritva Levo-Henriksson, U of Helsinki

Presented at the following event:

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In the globalized world, cultures are not isolated islands. Living Hopi culture, as any other culture, does not occur in a
vacuum. Other cultures are always present. Constructing and reconstructing ethnic identity is a continuous negotiation
process produced by interpersonal intercultural communication and mediated intercultural communication. The aim of
this presentation is to trace this process through Hopi views about themselves and their lives in two cultures, their
communication with other people, media, including their own radio, and other forms of transmitting their cultural
traditions through media. The main research data consists of the interviews of 24 Hopis with whom I discussed in nine
Hopi villages in Northeast Arizona in 1996 and in 2002. The analysis of the Hopi views revealed that they can be
located in the frame of four different negotiations. Challenges in negotiations call for the representatives of majority
culture to become more attuned to cultural sensitivity.
Outcome Value and Outcome Delay as Determinant Factors of Suspense in Film Viewing: An Experiment, Miruna

8136. What Was That? Which Way Did They Go? Reactions to Visual Dimensions, Features, and Movement
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

In order to obtain a picture of how story events and story presentation factors of suspense work together in film, in this
study a story events factor (Outcome Value) was directly compared with a story presentation factor (Outcome Delay)
as to their influences on experienced suspense in four different film genres. 124 subjects took part in a 2 (Outcome
Value) X 2 (Outcome Delay) between-subjects X 4 (film genre) within-subjects experimental design. The results
reveal that, as expected, film genre is a major determinant factor of experienced suspense: Outcome Value
significantly influenced experienced suspense in the two action oriented films (a thriller and a horror), whereas
Outcome Delay significantly influenced experienced suspense in the two character oriented films (a classic romance
and an art house romance). Counter to expectations there was no film in which both factors had a significant effect on
suspense.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Congressional inquiry into Major League Baseball's steroid testing program touched off a firestorm of debate and a
flurry of media coverage concerning the alleged rampant use of performance enhancing drugs in Major league
Baseball and Major League Baseball's reluctance to institute a stronger policy for steroid testing. This paper examines
the policy implications, cultural and social implications and media framing of the steroid scandal in order to posit that
the subsequent response by Congress and by Major League Baseball was a result of an intersection of the cultural
sanctity of baseball along with media agenda building. This paper includes be a content analysis of editorial news
stories collected from the New York Times, Washington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle. Additionally, a
detailed frame analysis of news stories collected from the New York Times further illustrates how the issue was
framed. The cultural relevance and social significance of baseball in contemporary society and the scrutiny placed on
athletic organizations by fans, the media and academics put pressure on Major League Baseball to address the issue
more seriously. Lastly, the fundamental nature of crisis communication and the fact that this is a crisis for baseball
necessitated a response. This all begins with the premise that media can affect policy outcomes and drive this agenda.
Media and more specifically, language have a profound effect on policy and public opinion.

Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

I propose participatory action research as a framework for health communication research. It enables people diagnosed
with mental health problems to take part in carrying out research and in doing so to promote health equity, citizenship,
and social justice for people with a mental health diagnosis. The participatory approach to research aims to involve
ordinary people/community members in generating practical knowledge about issues and problems of concern to them
and through this promoting personal and social change. I trace the development of participatory action research and
describes its application in the mental health service user research movement. The [NAME REMOVED] projects
carried out by a group of people diagnosed with schizophrenia in [LOCATION REMOVED] are described to
illustrate. Participation in research to promote health equity is really about inclusion and about how marginalized
people can claim full and equal citizenship as participants in and contributors to society.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Marketers have historically worked with media firms to shape the technologies that present news, entertainment and
advertising to their audiences. In the quick-changing mobile-device environment, a variety of industry actors are
challenged, and excited, by the possibility of guiding several new technologies at the same time to fit perceived
opportunities. This presentation explores the discourse and activities of media, marketing, and retail practitioners as
they encourage the development of geo-location, voice recognition, and near-field-communication (NFC) capabilities
as well as (via apps) Quick Response, and augmented-reality programs. The presentation explores how they have
investigated tactical and strategic aims for the technologies (alone and together) and prodded consumer adoption of
them. It also places these findings within the larger context of the contemporary media-marketing ecosystem and-in
view of the "industrial logic" demonstrated by the industry actors-considers the long-term implications of these
technologies for media firms, audience members, and the society at large.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper examines the implications of Israel’s use of its control of Palestinian telecommunications infrastructure as
leverage against a war crimes suit in the International Criminal Court. Although the use of economic coercion of an
occupied population by an occupying force is by no means unusual, the manipulation of telecommunications
infrastructure by an occupying force raises new questions regarding the authority and function of international
telecommunications regulatory agencies. In addition, the case highlights the growing importance of access to
communication technologies and their significance to international relations.

Presented at the following event:

5532. The Home Ecology of Children's Media Use
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Abstract This study used a survey design (N = 168) to measure the attitudes towards child media use among parents of
children 6 months to 5 years of age in order to examine how parent and child demographics, parental media use
motives, parental subjective norms, and parental attitudes toward preschool-directed media (PDM) are all related to
actual child media exposure. Results indicate that, regarding parent demographics, children in single parent homes
consume more educational and entertainment media than children from two parent homes, in contrast to previous
findings. In addition, children with siblings watch significantly more media, especially entertainment media.
Regarding parent motives for media use, the highest ranked reasons for use were child enjoyment, educational value
of media, and to get chores done. In turn, all five motives for use were related to either an increase in educational
media use, non-educational media use, or both. In accordance with the Theory of Reasoned Action, parents’
subjective norms regarding categories of media were significantly related to actual child consumption. Further,
positive attitudes toward media were significantly related to higher rates of child consumption. Interestingly, parental
worries about media were only negatively related to television screen media consumption.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This article examines from a European-Asian perspective the relationship between media representations and the
tourist imagination. We use the case of Chinese tourists in Paris to investigate how Asian tourists imagine Europe, and
how these imaginations are being realized, challenged, and modified during concrete tourist experiences. Drawing on
an online survey, field observations and semi-structured interviews with tourists, this paper shows how the Asian
imagination of Europe is strongly influenced by popular representations from the media. Moreover, the Chinese
tourist experience of Paris turns out be characterised by an ongoing negotiation between media-inspired fantasies and
personal experiences of the ‘real’ Paris. Consequently, the way that the Chinese imagine Europe to be is reinforced
but also challenged. Chinese tourists tend to develop a hybrid perspective: they learn to re-appreciate Paris in its
complexity, while at the same time re-constituting their own Asian identity vis-à-vis the European Other.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Much research on the psychological impact of technological variables in online communication has focused on
interactivity as a characteristic of Web sites and other digital media that subsumes many aspects of online information
presentation. This research sought to examine whether interactivity of Web sites could be disentangled from an often-
mentioned but under-explicated technological variable, navigability, by examining their effects on attitudes, memory
of site content, and behavioral intent, as well as the mechanisms by which potential effects occur. Navigability was
found to have a significant positive main effect on memory of site content, and a significant indirect effect on attitudes
toward the site through perceived navigability. Interactivity was found to have a significant indirect on attitudes
toward the site through perceived interactivity. The implications of these effects for understanding the processes
through which Web site structure can affect the processing of content are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Participation in the college classroom is often an issue of debate due to confusion surrounding conceptualization,
operationalization, grading practices, and privileging oral communication in the classroom. To address a portion of
this controversy, this study focused on the quality of the participation, as opposed to the quantity. A three-phase scale
development process was used to develop a 21-item quality of participation scale comprised of two dimensions (e.g.,
interactive and passive). Participants (N = 305) completed measures of quality of participation, participation
frequency, affective learning, and perceived cognitive learning. Results revealed that interactive participation
predicted perceived cognitive learning, passive participation predicted affective learning, and participation frequency
was not related to either type of learning. Further, in classes where participation was required students reported
participating more frequently and more interactively, but there were no differences in passive participation, cognitive
learning, or affective learning.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

To suggest that there is a strong relationship between participatory culture and civic/political engagement would not
come as news to anyone in India. In fact, the past decade has been marked by a number of astonishing instances of
popular participation intersecting with and reshaping a wider political field. Not surprisingly, popular and academic
discussions have focused attention on the explicitly political dimensions of these zones of participation. Examining
two key cases – Indian Idol (season 3), which saw fan mobilization influencing broader political movements in
Northeast India, and the Pink Chaddi (underwear) campaign designed to protest attacks on women pub-goers by a
right-wing Hindu group – this paper calls for sustained engagement with the everyday and sociable dimensions of
participation. I argue that it is only when we comprehend how participatory culture and everyday life are braided
together that we can meaningfully pose questions about political impact and, in the process, develop more complex
and textured accounts of civic/political engagement. Aswin Punathambekar is an Assistant Professor of
Communication Studies at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. He is co-editor of Global Bollywood (NYU Press,

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The Sonagachi Project is an HIV/AIDS intervention program undertaken in a red light district of Calcutta, India. The
project which targets commercial sex workers is spearheaded by the sex workers themselves who act as peer outreach
workers. The current paper intends to examine how participatory communicative strategies frame discourses and
practices of health in the Sonagachi Project. It is emphasized through the current research conducted on the Sonagachi
Project, that participation of target audiences in the enunciation of health problems in HIV/AIDS intervention projects
can engender positive change. It is analyzed how a participatory framework in health discourse and practice in the
Sonagachi Project addresses socio-structural constraints that affect the lives of the sex workers. The paper investigates
how participation engages the sex workers in roles of power and decision making within the initiative.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This article evaluates the participatory consequences of ideological online news outlet use. We hypothesize that
politically biased outlets can help to mobilize citizens, and that this effect will be most pronounced for sites that
reinforce users’ political views. Analyses of two independently collected and nationally representative surveys
demonstrate that frequent use of ideological online news in general, and of ideologically consistent outlets in
particular, are positively related to political participation. Exposure to ideologically discrepant online news
undermines these beneficial effects. Liberal sites promote political participation among liberals more than among
conservatives, and frequent exposure to both liberal and conservative sites negates the beneficial effect of either of
these sites on their own. The normative implications of these findings are discussed.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper explores the use of participatory drawing as a non-mechanical visual research method in qualitative
research with children and youth. Due to its co-constructed and engaging nature, as well as the lack of dependence on
linguistic proficiency, participatory drawing emerges as a highly efficient and ethically sound research strategy that is
particularly suited for work with children and young people across a variety of cultural contexts. The analysis of
drawn images, complemented by a subsequent discussion of these drawings in the context of their production, has the
potential of revealing a more nuanced depiction of concepts, emotions and information in an expressive, empowering
and personally relevant manner. The inherent affordances of the visual mode, as well as the practical and ethical
benefits of using this medium, are explored in the context of cross-cultural case studies.

Electoral ballots in developing countries typically contain party symbols, photos, and other information thought to
facilitate informed voting by citizens with low literacy, political knowledge, and voting experience. However, these
cues might shape voter decisions in unintended ways. To test the effects of party cues we conducted a survey
experiment days prior to the 2011 elections in Uganda. Respondents were asked to mark randomly assigned ballots
that included or excluded visual and verbal cues about actual candidates. Our preliminary findings indicate that party
cues induce straight-ticket voting and selection of major parties rather than independents. Surprisingly, party cue
effects are similar in magnitude to experimental results from established party systems, despite the fact that multi-
party elections are only five-years old and parties are indistinguishable on policy lines in Uganda. Our findings
challenge the conventional view that party cues are consequential because they activate longstanding partisan
identities or signal policy preferences.

This paper presents data from the 2000, 2004, and 2008 National Annenberg Election Studies suggesting that although
Republicans have an advantage on “civic knowledge” measures, Democrats are better informed about the candidates’
policy positions than are Republicans or Independents. I argue that this difference can be partly explained by two
factors: exposure to partisan media and projection on the part of Republicans.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Using a media consumption survey conducted in 2010 by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, we
investigated the roles that three moderating factors, such as media trust and media bias, play in priming individuals to
evaluate President Obama in a positive or negative way. First, we confirmed the priming effect that individuals’
selective exposure to conservative news programs was associated with a more negative evaluation of President
Obama, while individuals’ selective exposure to liberal news programs was associated with a more positive evaluation
of the president. Second, among the three moderating factors, we found that the moderating roles of trust and media
bias in increasing the priming effects are robust among conservative news consumers, while they were not significant
among individuals who consume liberal news programs. These findings indicate that the moderating roles of trust and
media bias were more resilient among conservative news consumers than among liberal news consumers. Our study
not only investigated the mechanism by which the priming effects play either a robust or a weak role in the context of
the partisan media environment, but also provided some valuable insight into a new and still-developing line of
research involving studies of priming effects and selective exposure.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

To be a trustworthy partner, people need self-control. People infer others’ level of self-control from behavioral cues,
and this perception influences how much they trust others. Compulsive Internet use (CIU) might provide such cues.
This research examined whether and how CIU affects the perception of self-control and trust in a partner. In an
experimental study, we manipulated CIU in descriptions of strangers, and found that participants in the CIU condition
judged the other to have lower self-control and trusted them less than in the two control conditions. In a prospective
study among newlyweds, we extended these results to close relationships. Results confirmed our hypotheses both
between and within persons. Additionally, we found that low trait self-control makes people prone to CIU, illustrating
that using CIU is a good strategy to gauge others’ level of self-control. These results illuminate how and why CIU may
be harmful for relationships.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

While voter judgments in the election process emerge through multiple layers of influence, the current study focuses
on voter party identification as an individual characteristic that may influence how people process negative political
advertising messages. The main purpose of the study is to examine interaction between part identification with a
targeted candidate and message sidedness as a specific persuasive appeal strategically placed in negative political
advertising. The obtained data showed a two-sided political ad produced more intended persuasive effect than a one-
sided political ad when voters were exposed to an ad attacking their supporting party candidate, while a one-sided
message was more distinct for unaffiliated voters and partisans who were exposed an ad attacking the opposing party
candidate. Implications for the theory and practice of strategic negative political campaigns are discussed.

The goal of this study was to assess the outcomes associated with resident participation in a technology-based
intervention aimed at reducing depression and increasing social support as well as improving resident physical and
mental health. A quasi-experimental design, one-group, pre- and post-test was used to investigate the outcomes of
Passport, a one month intervention program for assisted living residents consisting of in-house activities, a face-to-
face visit, and two virtual fieldtrips. Residents were assessed for depression, social support, and physical and mental
health. A significant increase in the mental health subscale was found for residents post-intervention (p<.011). Mean
comparisons pre- and post-intervention also showed decreased depression and improved physical health and social
support. This pilot study demonstrates the promise of technology as a viable intervention for resident quality of life
care, as well as a solution to overcoming institutional barriers such as cost, environmental disruption, and regulations.

Business method patents are a special class of patents that allow companies to assert ownership over technologies and
the ways in which those technologies are put to use. This paper presents a case study of Amazon’s 13-year attempt to
patent its “1-Click” business method in Canada. Looking at examples and learning from the U.S (where Amazon was
awarded a patent in 1998), I argue that business method patents act as quiet quests for control over information and
cultural practices. Business method patents highlight how certain actors use moments of technological change to
secure economic and cultural advantages through law and regulation. I suggest that reforms to Canada’s digital
economy strategy need to consider the limits of business method patents in fostering innovation. The Amazon case
presents an opportune moment to reflect upon what is at stake during the digitization of culture.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Advances in electronic commerce have made available a number of novel incentive models to motivate content
creation and sharing online, such as offering a percentage of the revenue generated from the content-page to the
contributors (shared-revenue model), or donating that revenue to a charity on the contributors’ behalf (donation
model). However, despite the potential of these incentives to encourage more and better content, using these incentive
may also affect contributors’ credibility and persuasiveness. In two experiments, we found that participating in a
donation model can enhance the trustworthiness, credibility and the persuasiveness of the contributors. In addition, we
found that the level of cognitive processing used when evaluating the incentive information can further impact the
effects. At the high or systematic level or processing, the donation incentive further enhanced credibility. Findings
from these studies offer important design implications for sites offering rewards to encourage user contribution.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

With ICTs having become omnipresent companions of everyday life, communication scholars have re-discovered the
classic discussion about decisive forces on attitudes and behavior: Is it the ICTs that exert the largest influence or is it
the larger social environment – or just the closest communication partners? Social and mobile communication
technologies have brought the access to the public within the reach of adolescents, so resulting problems like
cyberbullying make this question regarding levels of influence a very urgent one. In our paper, we therefore discuss
relevant models of peer influence in the context of cyberbullying among adolescents. Based on a pilot study in a
German high school, we empirically compare the impact of traditional class-level and clique influence on perpetrator
and victim roles as two of the most prominent explanations on a social meso/micro level. We can show that peer
influence matters – while the ubiquitous ICT use is of lesser importance.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

In this paper, we examined the causal relation between peer rejection and a preference for anti-social media content in
adolescence, based on developmental, media effects, and emotion-regulation theories. Two between-subjects
experiments were conducted. Study 1 applied the Cyberball-paradigm to induce peer-rejection vs. peer-acceptance,
while Study 2 used a recall mood induction procedure. Results of both studies showed that peer-rejected adolescents
more strongly preferred to watch anti-social media clips than their accepted counterparts. This effect was mediated by
higher levels of state anger and a more tolerable moral judgment of anti-social media content. In Study 2, direct
effects of peer rejection on media preferences were also established as well as gender differences. In contrast, a young
adult sample showed no relation between peer-rejection and anti-social media preference. Results are discussed within
a downward spiral framework of combined peer and media influences. Keywords: Adolescents, peer rejection, anti-
social media content, moral judgment, anger

Persuasion is a controversial concept in modern public relations. Ihlen (2010), for example, has reviewed enduring
concerns regarding “whether persuasion can be considered a legitimate activity” within the profession (p. 64). This
paper examines the rhetoric of Isocrates of Athens (436-338 BCE) and defines an Isocratean model of persuasion that
might contribute to a realizable, normative model for modern public relations. The paper charts Isocrates’ extensive
use of the word "peitho" (Greek for "persuasion") and its variants and identifies seven tenets of Isocratean persuasion,
including Persuasion is neutral and can be used justly or unjustly; Persuasion is a catalyst of civilized society and
intellectual development; and Persuasion can offer an alternative to force and the abuses of power. Isocrates’ repeated
assertion that peitho/persuasion is essential to community building complements ICA’s 2012 conference theme:
Communication and Community.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This paper aims to offer a different interpretation of a native term for talk in the Mandarin speech community in
Taiwan. The data of how the term is used and understood is collected mainly through three resources: 1) online
newspaper database and personal blogs, 2) Taiwanese television shows, and 3) fieldwork in Taipei. This paper follows
the tradition of ethnography of communication, and uses Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model as the analytical framework.
Through a thorough analysis of the history and the everyday usage of the term, this paper concludes that the native
term for talk, sajiao, is not simply a women’s speech act, but says more about language, power and communication in
the given culture.

7620. News Reception Effects Within Broader Frameworks: Cognition and Interpretation
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Many studies of persuasion have explored the impact of actual cognitive skills such as intelligence and knowledge on
resistance to persuasion, finding that people with greater cognitive ability are more likely to resist persuasion than
those with lower ability. However, few studies have explored the impact of perceived skills on resistance to
persuasion. We explore the impact of perceived skills on resistance to persuasion by randomly assigning subjects to
either easy or difficult questions about politics, thereby influencing their perceived skills at reasoning about political
issues, and exposing them to an editorial favoring a public policy. We find that subjects in the difficult questions
condition had higher levels of support for the measure advocated and offered fewer counterarguments against the
proposal. We conclude that while perceived skill has been for the most part neglected in prior work, it plays an
important role in resistance to persuasion.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This study expands the scope of Bollen and Hoyle’s conceptualization and measurement of perceived cohesion by
applying it to individuals’ relationship with voluntary groups. Specifically, the role of perceived cohesion in
motivating various types of voluntary group participation was examined. A national, cross-sectional survey (N =
1,032) probed participants’ history with and feelings toward a voluntary group to which they were members (e.g., a
book group). Perceived cohesion was found to have a significant influence on future commitment to the voluntary
group (e.g., attending a meeting) and willingness to engage in public forms of participation associated with the group
(e.g., recruiting). A hypothesis predicting a relationship between perceived cohesion and willingness to impose
sanctions was not supported. By demonstrating the relationship between perceived cohesion and both internal and
external forms of participation, this study exhibits the important role perceived cohesion plays in shaping voluntary
groups and society as a whole.

Two important parts of public opinion perception are the ability to assess how widely “our” attitudes are shared by
others and how many people favor one attitude position versus another. Both phenomena are well documented but not
fully explained. We test a self-categorization for perceptions of opinion commonness (Study 1 and 2) and opinion
consensus (Study 3). In Study 1 (N = 131), participants’ perceived ingroup prototypicality positively predicted
perceptions of opinion commonness for a high- but not low-normative issue. In Study 2 (N = 189), self-perceived
ingroup prototypicality positively predicted perceived opinion commonness, but did so more strongly when ingroup
norm was polarized and only with participants high in need for belongingness. In both studies, participants’ personal
position on the issue mediated the relationship between perceived ingroup prototypicality and perceptions of opinion
commonness, but only in the conditions predicted by self-categorization theory. Finally, in Study 3 (N = 61),
perceived ingroup prototypicality positively predicted perceptions of opinion consensus, but only when participants’
social identity was threatened. These findings provide converging evidence for a self-categorization explanation for
public opinion perceptions, and extend recent motivational models of public opinion perceptions.

This study investigates the success of targeting of delay of sex PSAs to African American and White adolescents. We
used perceived message effectiveness as a measure of targeting success. We coded PSAs according to the race and
gender targeted (African American/White and female/male). We hypothesized that targeted groups would perceived
messages to be more effective than non-targeted groups. We also hypothesized that gender and race would interact to
predict differences in perceived message effectiveness. Our hypotheses were partially supported. African Americans’
and females’ perceived message effectiveness scores were higher for all PSAs, even when the PSAs were targeted to
Whites and/or males. There was no significant interaction between race and gender for perceived message
effectiveness. We propose personal relevance as a potential explanation for the results of our study.

7520. Engagement With Narrative and Entertainment: Process and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Perceived realism judgments are important to both the experience of narrative involvement and the persuasive
outcomes of those experiences. The unintentional prompting of realism judgments confounds the assessment of the
influence of perceived realism on important message processes and outcomes. This study investigates the influence of
prompting (or not) viewers (215) of a television medical drama narrative to think about the realism of the program. It
then investigates the influence of realism monitoring on engagement, enjoyment, and a story-related attitude. Results
suggest that prompting realism judgments through verbal instruction and questionnaire order influenced narrative
engagement but not perceived realism judgments. Narrative engagement was positively related to two dimensions of
program enjoyment as well as story-related attitudes. Narrative engagement moderated the influence of need for affect
and both enjoyment and story-related attitudes. Results and implications for future research are discussed in light of
narrative processing and persuasion.

This study investigates new methods for establishing measurement invariance of psychometric scales based on a
measurement model that was used in a cross-cultural study on individualism-collectivism. With multigroup multilevel
structural equation modeling, it is possible to correct the observed rating values for the influence of culture-dependent
response styles, which are additionally subject to change over the course of experiments, and to handle dependencies
between repeated measurements by multilevel techniques in order to achieve measurement invariance of the
psychometric scale under investigation.

Very little is known about how language-discordant mobile medical professionals (MMPs)—defined as doctors who
work in foreign countries, cultures, and languages—interact with their colleagues. Given the importance of
accommodative doctor-doctor communication to patient outcomes and MMPs’ professional trajectory, as well as the
growing number of MMPs in Western Europe and around the world, this is a highly relevant issue. This study
examines the communication of MMPs in five European countries from the perspective of MMPs themselves (n = 134
questionnaires) and that of their (native) colleagues (n = 44 interviews). Its results indicate a number of concrete
areas where MMPs could use additional language training, as well as the presence of a gap in expectations between
what MMPs and their colleagues consider appropriate, accommodative communication. We discuss the implications
this has for both communication in the workplace and for training.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

There has been a substantial increase in the number of students with disabilities attending institutions of higher
education. Universities and colleges are required by the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) to accommodate students with disabilities to ensure that they have equal access to any degree program that
they are otherwise qualified for. This requirement creates opportunities as well as challenges for university
administrators. Increases in the number of students with disabilities continuing their education has resulted from the
implementation of accommodations for people with physical disabilities, a better understanding of the abilities of
people with cognitive disabilities, and knowledge about how to best accommodate these student populations. This
paper reports the results of a quantitative survey assessment of what the a University community knows and thinks
about the Office of Disability Services, ADA accommodations, and students with disabilities.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

In my contribution to the panel I propose to present recent empirical study (carried out together with Dr. Segev Barak)
of perceptual and cognitive aspects of textual conversational multitasking. In a series of experiments conducted in
recent years we have examined the effects of various factors on participants' ability to follow multiple textual
conversation threads presented synchronously on a computer screen—as is commonly done in chat and instant
messaging applications. Among the factors we have examined are the number and size of the windows in which
textual conversations are presented, coloring of conversation threads, the effect of combining visual (i.e. textual) and
auditory conversation threads, and the influence of (specific kinds of) semantic complexity on multitasking
capabilities. In my talk I will review the results of these experiments and discuss some of their theoretical and
practical ramifications.

6133. Moving Beyond Boundaries: Media and Caribbean Transnational Communities
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper focuses on how discussions about music are sites at which Caribbean citizens construct their community
identities. The paper compares and contrasts two forums for fan discussion about calypso and soca – the Barbadian
call-in radio program Fireworks and the islandmix online forum. This paper demonstrates that these two media sites
provide an invaluable opportunity to explore the ways in which people who feel in various ways ‘routed’ to the
Caribbean construct their national, regional and diasporic identities through their displays of fan expertise. This paper
is an examination of interrelated performances. Thus the paper analyzes how fans judge calypso and soca
performances and how these judgments are related to prevalent notions about the role of these music forms in
Caribbean society. Additionally, the paper explores the performance of Caribbean fandom itself – how the discussion
style is also embedded in these same ideas about the role of calypso and soca.

Without physical appearance in computer-mediated communication, gender identification relies on verbal cues such
as usernames, content, and/or style, which may be ambiguous. This study examined observers’ gender attribution for
online support providers whose usernames appear to be male, female, or ambiguous, and provided highly person-
centered (HPC) or low person-centered (LPC) messages. Female participants preferred HPC helpers to LPC helpers
overall. Participants rated gender-ambiguous HPC helpers as female and gender-ambiguous LPC helpers as male.
Unexpectedly, men rated HPC messages from men and gender-ambiguous sources as more effective and likeable than
the identical HPC messages from women. Implications and recommendations are made about computer-mediated
emotional support as well as theories of computer-mediated communication and social influence.

This paper analyses how mobile phone owners turn from being regarded by the industry as users of an interpersonal
medium, to a mass audience along some of the principles for how this “audience commodity” has been constructed in
previous mass media settings, centering on the radio, television and the press. One purpose is to critically examine the
relation between interpersonal and mass media, such as how technological developments connected to digitization has
altered the market for media commodities and contributed to the development of new business models. The second
purpose is to discuss the consequences of this shift, and its consequences for our ontological understanding of what it
means to use a mobile phone.

A great deal of attention has been given to personalization in Political Communication Research, but one should not
jump to the conclusion that no further research is needed. Quite the contrary: Research to date has brought up
inconsistent findings, which can be traced back mainly to heterogenous definitions and study designs. This shows the
need for a more sophisticated view on personalization. Furthermore, the alteration of the phenomenon in itself needs
to be considered, since new communication channels on the Internet offer additional self-presentation as well as
personalization opportunities for politicians. Thus, this issue is of ongoing relevance. A quantitative content analysis
of German and Swiss representative's homepages (n= 252) is conducted to answer the question of how individual
political actors take advantage of those opportunities. This paper concentrates on country comparison. Preliminary
results indicate that form and degree of self-presentation and personalization are in parts related to country.

Within the “Friendly ATTAC” (Adaptive Technological Tools Against Cyberbullying) project an innovative ICT tool
is being developed to help youngsters deal with cyberbullying issues. The aim of the project is to modify relevant
determinants of behaviours related to the roles of bullies, bystanders and victims by means of highly personalized
virtual experience scenarios, providing players with immediate feedback in a safe computer-mediated environment.
Examples are: increasing online empathy, enhancing social skills and teaching/training relevant coping strategies. The
adaptive, single-user scenarios utilize actual personal information that young people make available via their Social
Networking Sites (SNS) (e.g. profile pictures). In this way Friendly ATTAC reproduces and integrates the social
reality in which young people live into an evidence-based intervention tool.

Stigma contributes to a reluctance to seek help among people with depression. Depression campaigns are often
targeted directly at people with depression. According to the cognitive theory of depression, people with depression
are likely to have a negative bias when confronted with self-relevant information. We hypothesized that exposing
depressed people to an ad addressing the stigma of depression would boomerang and result in increased self-stigma
and less intentions of seeking help. College students (n = 271) were randomly assigned to receive a depression or
control print ad and completed a paper-and-pencil survey. Regression analysis indicated that viewing a depression ad
caused people with greater depressive symptoms to experience greater levels of self-stigma than depressed people
exposed to a control ad. While this current study offers no insight into current depression campaigns, results indicate a
definitive need for caution when developing materials targeted at people with depression.

This paper reports a first scientific investigation into a peculiar phenomenon resulting from people’s close connection
to their mobile phones: Phantom Phone Calls (PPC). This is defined as individuals’ perception of an incoming phone
call or text message which in fact did not take place. We investigated the prevalence and frequency of PPC, and
explored factors accounting for individual differences in PPC frequency. Results of an online survey (N = 272)
suggest that the PPC phenomenon – phantom ringtones, vibrations, and light signals taken together – is highly
prevalent among mobile phone users; 86.4% of the respondents experienced PPC, although in varying frequency.
Several predictors were identified: intensity of phone use, perceived peer pressure to use mobile phones, trait anxiety,
and need for popularity. We suggest that these factors induce an increased implicit alertness to phone signals,
resulting in a higher frequency of experienced PPCs.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper analyzes two digital games to deconstruct the ideology of development as a solution to global poverty.
Supported by corporations and the UN, these two games – or what I call philitainment – offer simulated fixes to global
problems rooted in history. Deploying a critical visual/discourse analysis, I argue that these games represent
“information populism” in a neoliberal setting. Promoting the idea of a democratic capitalist development, these
games need to be situated in what has been called “the millennial development”, implying the active disinvestment of
governments in social policies. Ours is a milieu of development that involves simulation and gamification of ideals of
progress and agency, reifying the geographical and historical context for development. This mediated development is
tied to discourses of global citizenship with an unquestionable investment in technology, a crucial asset in the
construction of neoliberal hegemony which rests highly on the work of the cultural.

The focus in the paper is on the notions of place and space in regard to visual mobile communication, in particular the
communication of camera phone photographs. The main interest is in studying the use of camera phones in the
mediation of place. The core idea of the paper is that by communicating a photograph from the mobile phone, often
quite immediately after capturing the image, it is possible to send the location. In this sense, sharing of camera phone
photographs is innately a location-aware form of mobile technology use. Verbal mobile phone communication is often
confined to places that have no intrinsic relationship to the act of communication; the content of communication is
determined by the participating subjects, not by the physical places in which the communicators reside. When talking
or texting on the mobile phone – acting in the phonespace – one does not necessarily have any indication of the
location of the other communicator. By contrast, when communicating with camera phone photographs, there is often
an essential connection between the physical setting and the act of communication. In this sense, the sharing of
camera phone photographs is a mental predecessor to, for example, Foursquare and the “Find My Friends” genre of
apps that enable the easy communication of location. An important contribution of the paper is, then, in shedding light
on such location-based networked interactions that have been around long before smart phones and GPS receivers
were introduced to the consumers, and building a theoretical link between these practices and the novel location-
aware mobile technologies. A central theme regarding the mediation of place is mediated presence. Presence in mobile
communication is about being in contact with one another or one’s community over physical distance, being socially
present although being physically absent. A photograph embodies the possibility of the object, place or person in the
photograph being present for the viewer, mediating its presence. In the context of camera phone communication these
two dimensions of presence are conjoined, as presence is mediated by images over a mobile connection. The
conclusion in the paper is that camera phone photographs, for their part, accentuate the significance of places in
mobile communication, from being mere points of communication into being physical and individual places, places
with identity. In addition to a theoretically oriented analysis of the use of camera phone photographs in the mediation
of place, I utilize results from a qualitative case study with Finnish camera phone users.

5138. Is “Positive Organizational Scholarship” A Positive Move for Organizational Communication? Forging Toward
a Critical Embrace
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Much stands to be gained from the synthesis of positive organizational scholarship (POS), community engaged
scholarship, and social justice work. Despite POS’s potentially useful work concerning altruism, compassion, upward
spirals and the power of positive emotions, it has been criticized for being uncritical, naive, and evangelical. This
paper argues that these concerns can be addressed and POS can be reconciled with community based research.
Potential for synthesis hinges on phronesis, the pursuit of practical wisdom. Rather than leaving the notion of
“practical” as code for “good for the bottom line,” we draw on pragmatism’s creative democracy as a resource for
reflexive improvement. We argue that POS has much to contribute to as well as learn from communication traditions
of localized justice, and that this synthesis moves us toward a critical, yet pro-constructive, approach to organizational
life.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The “what is beautiful is good” heuristic assumes that the evaluation of a persons’ physical attractiveness is associated
with the attribution of other socially desirable characteristics and traits. Although this association between beauty or
attractiveness and nonphysical goodness is a firmly established phenomenon in social psychology, communication
studies in general and political communication in special seldom refer to it. We assume that effects of stimulus
sampling on construct validity hinder the integration of the Beauty-is-Good-Stereotype into approaches of the
discipline. In this paper we discuss a new perspective on the conceptualization of attractiveness in the context of
visual political communication and report findings of a multi-sequenced validation experiment. The study
demonstrates that the validation of the crucial independent variable “attractiveness” might be enhanced by referring to
different theoretical levels of attribution processing.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

As communication scholars begin to explore the relationship between communication and physiological response
systems, it is important to address the challenges to conducting this type of research in the context of sexual activity.
My work over the past several years has focused on the importance of communication during and after sexual activity,
but conducting this research presents several methodological challenges. First, given the fleeting nature of hormone
surges, how can we capture changes in physiology without interfering with other communication variables of interest?
Additionally, there are several different methods for collecting hormonal samples (i.e., through saliva, blood, urine,
etc.). What are our options, as communication scholars, for integrating these types of measures into research on sex
and sexuality? Second, how can we gather information accurately, when participants often attempt to “make light” of
sexual experiences? Lastly, how can we study hormones and biology in a non-essentialist way?

The purpose of this paper is to foster greater understanding of how online social movements transform as they spread
from one location to another, especially when movements become global. The movement that will be addressed here
is “Pink Hijab Day” (PHD), which originated in a small town in Missouri in 2003. PHD, at its founding, was aimed at
supporting breast cancer awareness and at encouraging non-Muslims to ask Muslims about their faith. Since the onset
of the movement it has traveled to more than a dozen countries. While the movement has morphed somewhat in its
country of origin, the goal of this paper is to analyze how the movement has been contextualized in participant nations
in the MENA region (Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE). Initial research of discourse in MENA countries
demonstrates that the movement has been locally contextualized to reflect the uniqueness of these societies.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

South Africa and India had taken their cues from the British Broadcasting Corporation and set up commercial-free
monopoly broadcast radio systems, but by the 1950s large parts of their listening public were tuning in to advertising-
heavy stations beaming in from neighboring territories. In southern Africa, radio broadcast from Mozambique
captured the youth market with rock ‘n’ roll that the South African Broadcasting Corporation found ideologically and
aesthetically distasteful. In India, the national radio system’s mission of education and cultural renewal ran headlong
into listeners’ preference for popular music. Radio from the Portuguese enclave of Goa used the Mozambique model
to crack the Indian market, but Radio Ceylon came to dominate the airwaves with its powerful shortwave transmitter,
popular Hindi film music, smooth DJs and western management. India was forced to change to accommodate
advertising and popular tastes, while South Africa grudgingly tolerated cross-border rock. This paper examines how
that happened.

An experiment (N=174) investigated the effects of PeaceMaker, a video game simulation of the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict, on the change in participants’ explicit and implicit evaluations of citizens of the two conflicting nations as a
function of role-play and motivational reactivity. Results showed that gameplay changed participants’ explicit, but not
implicit, evaluations of the two nations in a role-congruent fashion. Participants assigned to the play the role of
Palestinian President or Israeli Prime Minister negatively changed their evaluations of the opposing national group
(Israelis and Palestinians, respectively). Moreover, risk takers and risk avoiders showed different patterns of explicit
and implicit attitude change as a function of video game role-play. Results are discussed within the framework of self-
persuasion and attitude change resulting from interactive media use.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper investigates effects of visual representation, voice modality, and their matches on user’s perception of
socialness, interface evaluation, and program evaluation in a smart TV context. Assuming that a voice command and
an embodied agent support a social interaction with a smart TV and a symbolic representation and a remote control
afford a direct manipulation, we conduct a 2 (embodied agent vs. symbolic representation) X (voice command vs.
remote control) experiment with 52 university students. Results revealed that when the output and input modality are
matched, the interface elicits higher perception of socialness to the TV. Also we found that direct manipulation
increase pleasure in watching program. The results indicate input/output interface should be considered in at the same
time and a non-humanizing interface could be superior to a social interaction interface in a TV context.

appear as comic superheroes (e.g. Barack Obama, Wladimir Putin, H.C. Strache). While ideological and political
messages in comics and the social and political commentary in editorial cartoons have received vast scholarly
attention, there is an academic void regarding comic books used for strategic political communication. The present
paper focuses on the functions and dysfunctions of comic-books in strategic political communication, and on comic-
books as means to attract young voters. Moreover, it examines the mass-mediated discourse on two comic-books used
in the 2010 election campaigns in Vienna, capital of Austria. Findings revealed that newspapers and magazines
focused on negative campaigning elements as well as on violent and xenophobic content of the comics. Even though
the comics gained high media attention, the media failed to cover the discussion about the suitability of comics for
political purposes.
Policy Evaluation of Creating U.S. Broadband Demand From the Webometric Approach, Sujin Choi, U of Texas

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study examined the demand-side policy of broadband diffusion after the introduction of 2009 American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act in the U.S. Focus was made on public computer centers and digitalliteracy.gov
projects which are key initiatives for creating broadband demand by providing access to technologies and access to
skills. Webometric approach was used to measure these projects’ outreach effort to lead target recipients such as non-
Internet adopters or public libraries to participate in the projects. Based on the web indicators, this study found that
public computer centers were much less promoted and digitalliteracy.gov was far less linked by public libraries than
expected by the government. Methodologically, this study employed webometrics to conduct a massive analysis on a
national basis and translate the government’s promotion efforts to quantifiable data, despite some limitations.

This extended abstracts reflects an ongoing research project into new ways of accounting for the visual-verbal
interactions in political communication phenomena online. It reviews the challenges and pitfalls before political
communication research at the dawn of the 21st century and identifies the areas where an integrated analytical
approach which takes account of both visual and verbal elements’ semantic contributions can be beneficial. It then
proposes such integrated qualitative content analysis (visual, verbal, and multimodal) for political websites. If
accepted, by the time of the conference the results of this analysis will be available and will provide empirical backing
to the claim an integrated approach is needed to better understand online communication phenomena, since in today’s
multimodal communication environments the whole is always more than the sum of its part, and the visual and the
verbal are in a deep symbiosis that requires profound scholarly attention.

The radically reconfigured mediated public sphere in the United States has numerous implications for the production,
consumption and influence of political information. Among these implications is the increased dissolution of the
always tenuous distinction between popular and political culture, and between entertainment and public affairs media.
These changes have been regularly noted by scholars and journalists, though almost exclusively from the perspective
of the quickly collapsing era dominated by broadcast news. As a result, the crisis of this particular “media regime” is
seen as a crisis of democracy itself. Viewed from a broader historical vantage, however, it is the Age of Broadcast
News that is exceptional in its attempts to limit politically relevant media to a single genre (“news”) and a single
authority (“professional journalists”). Drawing on arguments from our recently published book, After Broadcast
News: Media Regimes, Democracy, and the New Information Environment (Cambridge University Press, 2011), we
explore the implications of this conceptual and empirical blurring of genres for the practice of democratic citizenship,
the role of journalists, and, ultimately the health of U.S. democracy. Michael X. Delli Carpini is Dean of the
Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. His research explores the role of the citizen
in American politics, with particular emphasis on the impact of the mass media on public opinion, political knowledge
and political participation. He is author of Stability and Change in American Politics: The Coming of Age of the

Presented at the following event:

5224. Political Discussion in Online Space
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Among the various Social Web applications the availability of video files via video platforms currently plays a
prominent role for audience attention. We use User-generated Online Videos (UGOV) as a relevant example in order
to develop a theoretical framework for the dynamic processes emerging from content production and use. Special
attention is devoted to the Social Web as a space for political communication, where offers of political relevance can
possibly change the communication behavior and the political participation of online users, and the communication
strategies of political actors. As a conceptual framework we propose the dynamic-transactional approach which offers
a fundamental logic for modeling individual actions of the prosumer who, either as a mere user or as a provider,
makes content available to a larger, unlimited public. Our multi-level, dynamic model includes processes specified by
the agenda-setting approach, research on social networks, and the concepts of political cynicism and agenda-building.

Presented at the following event:

7234. Extended Session: What Do We (Really) Know About Online Political Participation?
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

A central theoretical features of political consumerism is that constitutes non-institutional, informal behavior that is
oriented toward individualized, lifestyle-oriented politics or civic goals. This feature of political/purposeful
consumerism is reflected in studies showing a relationship with post-material values and no association with strength
of partisanship. Relatedly, consumer behavior in general is known to be connected to people’s social relations and
networks. In their social and familial networks, people express, share, and reinforce their identities and values. Based
on U.S. data, this paper seeks to further understand what patterns of political communication are associated with
political consumerism. First, it examines whether political consumerism relates more strongly to pro-civic acts than
traditional political activities. Second, it explores the relationship between political consumerism, general use of the
Internet, and the use of social network sites. Results indicate communication patterns associated with political
consumerism are different from those associated with more traditional political acts.

Presented at the following event:

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Online political deliberation has grown in frequency and influence in China. This study examines how Chinese
conventional media cover online political deliberation. Based on a content analysis of news reporting by one of
Chinese most outspoken newspaper-Southern Metropolis Daily, the study has found Chinese newspaper employs
ritual strategies to make a balance between political correctness and commercial success when representing online
political deliberation. Chinese newspaper would more likely to send journalists to further investigate the issues
concerning criticism of officials from lower-ranking administrative region. Most of the time, the official has
prominent voice in media coverage. But whether the netizen has prominent voice in media coverage is attached to
subject matter and official’s position. The results indicate online political deliberation does not lead Chinese
conventional media to push the envelope on political reporting.

Through the lens of political economy, this paper examines competing notions of the public interest as exemplified by
the structure of American and British broadcasting. These examples speak to broad, timeless tensions between
markets and society, such as those described in the works of Polanyi, Marx and Durkheim. An analysis of these
tensions lends support to calls for noncommercial, public media structures and increased regulation of communication
industries.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Through forty-three in-depth interviews this exploratory study examines how Korean Diaspora in Washington D.C.
area make meaning of political engagement, use social capital in the process of political engagement, and identify
factors that encourages and inhibit political activities. The findings revealed that Korean Diaspora has
misunderstanding on the operationalization of the term political engagement. The findings also revealed that lack of
ownership, religious social capital, gender and parental status, distrust on Korean associations, perception on politics
(in general), also influenced political engagement. The findings extend previous research on the three dimensions of
political engagement for ethnic minorities. Suggestions for future research are provided.

Previous research has compared the differences between liberals and conservatives in terms of their positions on
political and social issues. Recent studies have examined how these two groups vary in terms of psychosocial
functioning such as being trusting and happy. The present study, using a national survey of more than 7,000 American
consumers, compares liberals and conservatives in terms of psychographic variables and media consumption. Real
world implications for political strategists are discussed.

6328. Probing the "Realities" of Media Bias and its Link to Content and Perceptions
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper examines the functional (opposed to causal) model of news selection in a survey among journalists. The
model is based on a soft version of the Rational-Choice Theory. Based on the rational-choice theory, news-value
theory is restated as a decision theory. In addition, political attitudes of journalists are integrated into the model. It is
assumed that political attitudes of journalists do not only influence news decisions directly, but also indirectly by the
political biased perception of news factors. The empirical findings confirm this hypothesis: first, political attitudes
strongly affect statement decisions (news-bias hypothesis). Second, political attitudes rather weakly moderate the
relation between perceived news factors and news decisions of statements and sources (instrumentalization-distortion
hypothesis). The restated selection hypothesis of the news-value theory can well explain issue decisions.

5120. Social and Political Participation as Media Uses and Effects
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This paper investigates how media use among young citizens differs from older generations, and whether this matters
for their inclination to engage in political participatory activities. More specifically, based on a four-wave panel study
conducted during the 2010 Swedish national election campaign, this study investigates the causal impact of social
media use and attention to political news in traditional media, on political interest and offline political participation.
The findings show clear differences in media use between age groups, but also that both political social media use and
attention to political news in traditional media increase political engagement. More importantly, by using the strength
of the panel design, the results clearly indicate that both types of media use have a causal impact on political interest
and offline participation. Thus, this study suggests that frequent social media use among young citizens functions as a
leveler in terms of motivating political participation.
Political News, Emotions, and Opinion Formation: Toward a Model of Emotional Framing Effects, Rinaldo Kuehne,

Presented at the following event:

5521. Theory Development in News Frame Exposure Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Effects of news frames have mainly been explained by cognitive processes like accessibility and applicability effects.
However, initial studies indicate that frames may also elicit emotions like anger and sadness which have important
implications for information processing and opinion formation. The present paper outlines a model of emotional
framing effects. The central assumption is that emotional framing effects are a three-step process: First, emotional
frames make certain appraisals more accessible and/or applicable. Second, the triggered appraisal patterns elicit
emotional reactions. Third, the emotional reactions prompt emotion-congruent information processing and opinion
formation. The hypothesis of three-step emotional effects of news frames is tested in an experimental study.
Implications of the model and the empirical findings are discussed.

7134. State-Press Relationships and Diplomacy
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The relation of mutual dependence between press and politics is strongly expressed in the use of politicians as sources
in the media. If politicians adapt to the media, as argued by mediatization scholars, they can be expected to make more
effort to improve their relations with the press. This paper combines the results of a survey of the press relations of
MPs with an automatic content analysis of Dutch newspapers in order to assess the relation between press relations,
media performance, and (dis)satisfaction with the media. We found that politicians making more effort to reach and
befriend journalists do not get more visibility. Moreover, the attitudes of politicians towards the media are not
predicted at all by their actual media performance, their seniority, and whether they are a member of an established
and/or successful party.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Since the rise of the Internet, it is often claimed that it has the potential to contribute to the quality of democracy by
fostering citizens’ involvement in politics. So far, empirical evidence regarding this acclaimed effect has been mixed,
and many questions about the consequences of Political Internet Use (PIU) have remained unanswered. This study
expands the knowledge about the relation between PIU and involvement by examining the effect of specific forms of
PIU on citizens’ political involvement (i.e., interest and voter turnout) during election times. Results from a panel
study among a representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 985) reveal a positive relation between particular
forms of PIU on the one hand and voter turnout and political interest on the other hand. In addition, for specific forms
of PIU, the positive effect on voter turnout is more prevalent for citizens that have lower levels of political interest.

Presented at the following event:

6627. Influences on News in China
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The purpose of this study was to understand the news framing process of news organizations in a non-democratic
setting. The central questions sought to answer included how newsrooms in China framed political issues addressing
state-public conflicts and why some news organizations adopted a more liberal framing strategy than the others did.
Eight news outlets were selected to compare their framing strategies and the forces that impacted their strategy-
making process. An analysis of the data, which mainly came from interviews with newsmen from the eight news
organizations, showed that news outlets suffered from high market pressure but received low political pressure tended
to be most liberal on frame selection. News outlets suffered from both high market pressure and high political
pressure usually adopted a medium liberal framing strategy while those with low market pressure and high political
pressure were conservative when framing the issues that showcased state and public interest conflicts.

The permeation of the mobile platform in society seems to be creating a shift in community behavior. It began at an
individual level, and is now quickly replicating as many people use and communicate not only through mobile phones,
but through smartphones that are multi-functioning communications computers. Mobile devices have broadened
people's capability and reach and within that context, human behavior has adapted. In this paper, we explore how
multiplexed networked individuated communications are creating new contexts for human behavior within
communities. We refer to the aggregate of all the experienced 'locations' and 'communications' of all individual people
in multiple networks at the same or different times as PolySocial Reality (PoSR). PoSR substantially describes the
network transaction spaces that people traverse with others to maintain and use social relationships via various apps,
mobile services, sensors, platforms, technologies and conversation spaces. Rapid changes in communications and
mobile networks are resulting in new patterns within PoSR, that represent changes in both intensive and extensive
communications. These changes have both positive and negative consequences with respect to individuals and groups.
A positive side of PoSR emerges when new capabilities increase our capacity to extend ourselves socially to many
more people, ideas and potential and real collaborations. Negative aspects of PoSR may stem from the fragmentation
and individuation from a large quantity of messages, in any given communications transaction, which are multiplexed
and contain too little shared information between people about themselves or others.We use the term 'Geolocomotion'
to describe the way that people navigate through space using using the capabilities of geospatial technologies to
monitor and control movement in context. Geolocomotion is based on contextually relevant instructions, that are
sequentially delivered by a combination of the network and specific geospatial applications. These communications
continue to increase due to the rapid popularity of Social Media, geolocative apps and the combination of people
wanting to attempt to do more than one thing at one time. People act via their own personal frame, or collectively in
one of the communities they are a member of, while concurrently breaking social boundary and marking rules in other
communities they are a part of, which in turn influences those 'around' them in these other communities to either alter
their behavior or adapt. One of the more visible instances of this has to do with communal behavior on public streets.
Often, drivers are talking or texting (illegally in some areas) while they are operating their vehicles. In many
neighborhoods, people have adapted to these drivers by waiting longer to cross the street when lights change, to avoid
being hit. Conversely, on sidewalks, if someone is talking on a phone while walking, or 'geolocomoting,' others have
learned to move out of their way and to treat them as an obstacle. In this paper we explore the idea of PoSR,
adaptation and behavior change on the streets and sidewalks. How do new forms within PolySocial Reality create new
behavior, or new indicators of behavior in communities?

This paper develops a new theory of polymedia in order to understand the consequences of digital media in the
context of interpersonal long distance relationships. Drawing on a comparative ethnography of Filipino and Caribbean
transnational families, the paper shows how users avail of new media as a communicative environment of affordances,
rather than as a catalogue of ever proliferating, but discrete technologies. As a consequence, with polymedia the
primary concern shifts from the constraints imposed by each individual medium to an emphasis upon the social,
emotional and moral consequences of choosing between those different media. Polymedia is ultimately about a new
relationship between the social and the technological, rather than merely a shift in the technology itself.

The global political rhetoric of “us” vs. “them” in the aftermath of 9/11 had significant consequences (particularly for
Muslim communities), opening up discursive frames of re/negotiating multiculturalism. Parallel to this, phenomena
such as the environmental crisis and technological interconnectivity have fed into a sense of shared global destiny.
This paper investigates the role of online/mobile social media in the experiences of cosmopolitanization/inclusion and
marginalization/closure in the cultural lifeworlds and everyday realities of young Turkish migrants in Sweden. The
primary goal is to offer a critical discussion on the methodological limits/remits of heuristic inquiry in general, and
social phenomenology in particular, in studying everyday consumption of popular media vis-à-vis identity processes.
Based on ongoing research, phenomenology is compared /contrasted with other qualitative methods. Amongst the
points that will be problematized are: formation of research questions; role of the researcher; sample-group size and
data collection processes; interpretive techniques and analysis. Miyase Christensen Professor Dept. of Media &

The 1979 Iranian revolution led to the creation of an Islamic Republic, a political system that combines elements of
democracy (elections) with theocracy. The state’s vision of an Islamic culture and political communication is enacted
in its official media. In contrast to these media, there is a vast popular culture that exists outside the state-sanctioned
culture: satellite television, mobile phone, blogs, social media, “underground” popular music, film, and poetry. This
paper argues that a certain measure of the popular will, exercised in elections, combined with the dynamism of
popular culture has allowed the Iranian political system to survive. As the state monopolizes “the political” even more,
the cultural register becomes a site where the population engages the state’s power over their lives. In this context,
where politics is foreclosed, everyday life becomes political. This paper examines the presence of politics in everyday
life in Iran and the conceptual implications for both political and popular communication. Mehdi Semati is Associate

This paper examines the anti-branding agitation of Adbusters using new social movement theory informed by
Habermas with the aim of addressing the methodological challenges of using the system-lifeworld approach in the
study of conflictual popular communication. Occupy Wall Street movement’s communicative activities (and, its
origins as an Adbusters media campaign) are taken as a case study, considering how it mobilized resources online for
demonstrations worldwide. It interprets OWS as a variety of middle-class radicalism, similar to the anti-globalization
movement, that is symptomatic of extensive corporate colonization of media systems and institutions of the public
sphere. Resource mobilization and identity-based approaches to new social movements are utilized to access both the
visible aspects of collective action, and the symbolic processes of solidarity-building with diverse allies including
Anonymous and labor unions. Popular communication is approached from the angle of ideology critique expressed in
transnational new social movements grounded in local lifeworld contexts. Patrick Burkart Department of

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This presentation argues that recent European reality programs such as Channel 4’s My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding
(2011- ) have used the mantel of factual programming to voice and naturalize racist-imperialist discourses, much as
neoliberal economic practices are ethically neutralized by references to the inherent rationality of the market. I
compare My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding with Eastern European reality programs that feature the Roma and racialized
immigrants to show how the current global debt crisis has reopened an imperial division within Europe that had been
successfully covered up by the European Union’s efforts at building a pan-European solidarity and cultivating
postnational European identities. This division has been cast by popular reality shows in strikingly essentialist, ethno-
racial terms, which draw a moral hierarchy between North-Western Europe and South-Eastern Europe.

Social media have inaccurately been argued to be the motors behind the Jasmine Revolutions. In fact, however,
economic, social, political and military grievances are their true motors, together with a population change (owed to
generational shift). Moreover, the choice of movement leaders to communicate through non-violent resistance, and as
channeled through multiple sources (not just social media, but other media and interpersonal communication), explain
their success at achieving their behavioral goals. Drawing on case examples from the Middle East and Africa (both
North and Sub-Saharan), Russia and Serbia, I demonstrate that the means for achieving these goals; the creation of a
public sphere, information production, and protest coordination; were achieved during past revolts when channeled
via audiotapes and the talking-drum. At best, social media have, therefore, only helped render movement leader’s
behavioral goals – sustained protest – faster and more efficient. Finally, what outcomes these protests will lead to,
remains open.

It has often been argued that the communication strategies used by right-wing populists are key to their appeal to
voters. However, prior studies found only rather limited across-the-board effects of communication strategies that
employ a populist style and rhetoric. Across-the-board effects were only found for party leaders who appear to be
more authoritative. In this study we focus on the conditionality of the effects of different communication strategies on
the perceived effectiveness and the perceived legitimacy of one right-wing populist, and one mainstream leader. We
use an experimental setup with a large-N representative sample of Dutch voters (n=3,125). The results show that the
effects of populist communication strategies differ for the lower educated, the politically cynical, and the less
efficacious. These groups of voters are more susceptible to persuasion by the populist style of the right-wing populist
party leader. Results are discussed in the light of research on (right-wing) populism.

The concept of cultural imperialism has been thoroughly discredited. Developments over the last decade have,
however, produced a lively debate about imperialism in other disciplines. I will argue that while the old concept was
rightly discredited, a more robust theory is both viable and increasingly necessary to account for likely major
developments in international communication. I will very briefly outline the contours of a new theory of cultural
imperialism that explains contemporary developments while avoiding the pitfalls that led to the collapse of the earlier
version.

6222. Extended Session: Revisiting Cultural Imperialism, Interrogating Social Change
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The argument is that both the ICT revolution and the international success of non-scripted entertainment are creating a
new paradigm in the international flows and contra-flows of media content: the "digital glocalization of
entertainment". This term tries to capture a new relevant feature in the global mediascape: successful media texts
crossing national and cultural borders incorporate global, glocal and local elements, enriched by customized elements
made possible by the digital media environment. Examples of this new paradigm abound, from the global "reality TV"
format Big Brother to the NBC 2008 Olympics coverage. Key questions raised include: 1)Is the existing status quo
challenged, and in particular Hollywood's global leadership? 2)What are the global entities emerging as Hollywood's
main competitors in this technologically evolving landscape? 3)Is the ICT revolution an example of disruptive
technology for the global media and entertainment industry? 4)Are these phenomena (ICT revolution and the global
rise of non-scripted entertainment) leading to/accelerating social change at a local/global level?

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

After three or so decades of revisionist writing on media and global power that has taken us on exotic journeys
through concepts of globalization, glocalization, global public sphere, network societies and multi-level, multi-cultural
flows, together with the heady celebration of the alleged diversity of highly commercialized, advertising supported,
converged media systems, amidst the rise of the BRIC, all serving an equally alleged "active" audience, it is time to
take stock of the lessons of the fall of the Soviet Union, the hegemony of the Chicago School, the collapse of the
Balkans, invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, colored revolutions and Arab Springs - and return to a
full frontal examination of the relationships between media and imperialism.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

My position is as follows: The concept of "social change" remains too ambiguous and confusing, both analytically and
normativelly, to offer a clear roadmap in the field of communication. The resuscitation of "social change," a concept
embedded in the sociological literature on modernization and development from the 1950s and 1960s, has not helped
to clarify its multiple meanings, particularly around the intersection of media and culture. Although it offers a
corrective to the limitations of the "development" discourse, it doesn't present a clear shift that specifically address the
challenges to redressing power and social inequalities. This presentation offers a brief reconstruction of the notion of
social change, its strengths and limitation, and explores the merits of social justice as an alternative.

Marinos, University of Pittsburgh

Presented at the following event:

7452-11. Global Communication and Social Change Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The goal of this project is to explore the major structural transformations of the mediascape in Bulgaria following the
dismantling of the state media after November 10, 1989. The major question that I explore is: How do the changes in
the political economy of media in Bulgaria relate to and reflect the last twenty years of crisis and downfall in the
cultural, social and economic spheres? There at three components that the study addresses. First, it will aim to
provide a short general understanding of the political economy of media prior to 1989. Second, it will situate the
media in Bulgaria within the general context of the post-socialist space (the rest of Eastern Europe). The third and
most substantial section will theorize the connection between political economy of media in Bulgaria today and the
decaying demographic, social and cultural fabric of the country.
Postmodern Fandom: Conceptualizing the Audience of Fantasy Sports, Darren Bau-Madsen, Temple U

5220. Rethinking the Audience in the Digital Age: Perspectives on the News, Entertainment, and Marketing Industries
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Although fantasy sports have existed in some form for more than 40 years, their recent emergence on digital media
platforms has brought them to new prominence and into widespread use. For media producers, sports marketers, and
advertisers, these games provide opportunities to attract new audiences, to create audiences for new media products,
and to facilitate further audience research and segmentation. Yet these groups have yet to understand the extent to
which fantasy participation challenges traditional conceptualizations of team-oriented sports fandom. This paper
examines the construction of the fantasy sports audience vis-a-vis the traditional sports audience by reviewing
discussions in academic, professional, and popular literature. Because fantasy sports encourage consumption habits
and interpretive modes different from traditional, team-oriented sports consumption, the discursive constructions of
the fantasy audience are compared to those of fans who participate in team-oriented online communities.

7340. Mediated Narratives of Difference and Norms
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Since the end of the network era when cable technology created the opportunity for more diverse content to become
economically viable, television has become increasingly legitimate as a cultural form with the production of targeted
content appealing to high income, educated niche audiences. The increasing cultural legitimacy of some television
content, however, is only made possible by the devaluation of other content typically associated with passivity,
femininity, and the mass audience of the network era (Newman and Levine 2012). What does this mean for middle-
class American television audiences? To begin addressing this question, this paper uses qualitative data from
preliminary interviews to illustrate what evidence of class-stratified niche audiences may look like in future research.
Postprofessional Journalism? Challenges and Responses to Jurisdictional Control, Silvio R. Waisbord, George
Washington U

Presented at the following event:

6622. Excellence and Quality in Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper presents the argument that professionalism remains a critical analytical dimension to understand the state
and quality of contemporary journalism in a global perspective. Understood as jurisdictional control (Abbott 1988),
rather than the observance of public-oriented ethics, professionalism directs out attention to the relations between
journalism and external fields. Journalism's claims to authority, expertise and separation confront a host of challenges
- patrimonialism, corporatization, bureaucratization and citizen activism. These challenges are not unique to
journalism, but they similarly affect other professions. Journalism is not completely weaken to assert control over its
jurisdiction. The absence of strong competition and the power of news logic in mediated publicity continue to anchor
journalism's power to fend off the assault on professional claims

Presented at the following event:

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Serious games offer opportunities for civic engagement. This engagement is necessary for a good functioning
democracy. Therefore a context in which civic engagement flourishes must be nurtured. Addressing a gap in academic
gaming research, the current study investigates if there are long term behavioral changes in civic engagement and
political participation after playing a serious game and how this is related to change in political interest. After playing
the serious game Poverty Is Not A Game participants took part in a survey, which was repeated three months later.
Results (N=275) show that significant differences were found concerning civic engagement which consequently
affected political participation. Furthermore, change in political interest demonstrated to facilitate change in
engagement. In sum, the results underline that the expressive nature of games allows for the creation of a context that
fosters different forms of citizenship in which civic engagement can thrive and political participation can flourish.
Practices of the Self on Social Networking Sites: Foucault and Facebook, Maria Bakardjieva, U of Calgary

5536. Applying Foucault's Technologies of the Self to Web 2.0: Communication, Self and Online Community
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Foucault saw the technologies of the self as being inextricably intertwined with three other types of technologies:
technologies of production, technologies of sign systems and technologies of power. Each of these types of
technologies, he maintained, plays a key part in the constitution of human beings. This presentation tests and develops
this thesis with respect to social networking sites. It aims to unravel the connections between these sites, where users
continuously construct their Selves, and technologies belonging to the spheres of production, consumption, public
communication and government. Data stemming from focus group discussions with Facebook users serve as the
empirical material through which these connections are explicated and explored. The goal of the analysis is to gauge
the forces of domination inherent in users' self-constitution within that setting against the scope of choices available to
them to freely determine who they want to be (ethical care of the self).
Practitioner Perceptions of Organizational Ethics Initiatives in the Public Relations Workplace, Seow Ting Lee,
National U of Singapore

Presented at the following event:

8139. The Public Relations Practitioner Experience
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The application of ethics to organizations is aimed at improving decision-making processes, work procedures and
compliance structures to direct organizations’ operations toward morally sound principles. However, little is known
and understood about ethics management, or the development of formal, systematic and goal-directed initiatives to
improve ethics in public relations agencies and departments, and the development of organizational ethical content.
This study, based on a survey of 350 public relations practitioners in the U.S., found little ethics training and written
guidelines in the public relations workplace. Organizational ethics initiatives are poorly communicated to
practitioners, and rely mostly on punitive restraints to secure behavioral compliance, with little rewards for ethical
behavior. For many practitioners, their knowledge about ethics is not learned through workplace ethics initiatives but
is mostly informed by external influences including personal values, family upbringing and professional work
experiences.

Presented at the following event:

6641. Organizations as Communities of Doing: Exploring the Role of Pragmatism in Organizational Communication
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The organization of diverse opinions in uncertain situations that demand action is a pressing problem that lies at the
heart of many pragmatist writings. These writings find interesting applicability with respect to the contemporary
organization of opinion in a variety of contexts. In this paper, I discuss how pragmatism informs my work on the
professional organization of expert opinions in climate science. In doing so, I seek to better explain conceptual
innovation in expert organizations, to discuss how pragmatism views the dominant methods of organizing opinions,
and to clarify the stakes of accepting a pragmatist account of these processes for inquiries conducted by professional
organizations that deal with uncertain situations requiring public/social action.

U - Jerusalem

Presented at the following event:

8122. Divine Databases
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

In The Temple of Silence (2003) Knohl points out the absence of sound in the biblical tabernacle. His observation
should be modified: While light (candelabrum) and scent (sacrifices, essence) are indeed the main conveyances from
man to the Bible’s god, the text reports plenty of sound, voice and verbalism flowing from god to man: in fact, five
book-equivalents worth of it. This study investigates the emergence of vocal and verbal messages on the return path—
from man to god—as part of biblical ritual. It ponders the meanings and implications of prayer on constructing the
deity’s transcendence and omnipotence. The study identifies the ram’s horn as an important transitional medium on
the road to humans’ attempts at two-way verbal interaction with god. It is the harbinger of human sound messages to
god, and since both god and man sound the ram’s horn, also of interaction between man and god via a common
medium.

Presented at the following event:

5338. Unmasking the Hidden and Suppressed Through Organizational Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Existing community ecology models presume that populations can only thrive if their organizational form achieves
cognitive legitimacy. Thus, organizations often select and communicate labels emphasizing the unique identity
underlying their form. But the concept of predatory mimicry, which refers to a competitive evolutionary strategy
based on form ambiguity, illuminates that a population may actually benefit from audiences failing to recognize its
form. The evolution of crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in the United States is one example of this phenomenon. CPCs
engage in predatory mimicry when they imitate reproductive health care providers (RHPs) in an effort to compete with
them for the same "clients," women facing unwanted pregnancies. The results of an event history analysis of
organizational mortality rates indicate that mimics among CPCs survive more easily than non-mimics. However,
overall survival rates decline when cognitive legitimacy increases. Thus, mimicry strategies seemingly bear penalties
for both impostors and non-mimic subpopulations.
Predicting H1N1 Vaccine Uptake and H1N1-Related Health Beliefs: The Role of Individual Difference in
Consideration of Future Consequences, Xiaoli Nan, U of Maryland; Jarim Kim, U of Maryland

Presented at the following event:

7230. Issues and Directions in Health Campaigns Research
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This research examines the influence of individual difference in Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) on
H1N1 vaccine uptake and H1N1-related health beliefs (i.e., perceived susceptibility to and severity of the H1N1 flu,
perceived efficacy and safety of the H1N1 vaccine, and perceived self-efficacy in obtaining the H1N1 vaccine). A
survey of 411 college students showed that CFC had no direct effect on vaccine uptake, but exerted significant
influence on several H1N1-related health beliefs including perceived severity of the H1N1 flu, perceived efficacy of
the H1N1 vaccine, and perceived self-efficacy in obtaining the vaccine. Individuals high in CFC perceived greater
severity of the flu, higher effectiveness of the vaccine, and greater self-efficacy. Additional analysis suggested that
CFC had a significant indirect effect on vaccine uptake through perceived vaccine efficacy. Implications of the
findings for vaccine risk communication are discussed.

The present study experimentally investigated the interplay between interpersonal communication and health message
exposure in relation to alcohol consumption intentions. One hundred and seventy-four students participated in a study
on the effects of an anti-alcohol message. At baseline, intention to refrain from binge drinking was assessed, whilst at
the second wave (two weeks later) participants were assigned to the conditions of a 2 (anti-alcohol message or no
message) x 2 (alcohol conversation or control conversation) between-subjects design, after which intention was again
assessed. Results showed that when participants talked about alcohol (instead of the control topic) and were not
exposed to an anti-alcohol message they were less inclined to refrain from binge drinking, an effect that was not
visible when participants talked about alcohol and viewed an anti-alcohol message. These findings suggest that health
campaign exposure moderates the influence of interpersonal communication on health variables.
Predicting Infants’ and Toddlers’ Exposure to Foreground Television and Videos: Mothers’ Cognitions Versus
Structural Life Circumstances, Sarah Ellen Vaala, Sesame Workshop

Presented at the following event:

5532. The Home Ecology of Children's Media Use
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The television- and viewing- time among US infants and toddlers has been of growing concern to academics,
clinicians, and child-advocates, particularly in light of the booming market of media products created for children
under two. Though many wish to reduce screen time among the youngest viewers, very little is understood about the
factors and perceptions that drive parents’ use of TV/videos with their babies and toddlers. Through the lens of the
Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction, this cross-sectional survey of mothers with infants and toddlers examined
maternal cognitions and structural life circumstances that explain variance in children’s reported viewing rates.
Results indicate that both sets of predictors provide independent explanatory power, though the influence of structural
life circumstances is also partially mediated through cognitions. Demographic variables are largely non-predictive
once cognitive and structural circumstance variables are included in analyses. Theoretical and practical implications
are discussed

6220. Entertainment and Other Attractions of Media Content: Antecedents and Moderators
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

We examine how social attraction and perceived similarity to an actor influences narrative involvement in the context
of when the actor plays a stigmatized character. Although viewers may not typically respond positively to a
stigmatized character, social attraction to the actor playing the character may influence involvement processes.
Participants filled out a pretest, were randomly assigned to read either a positive, negative, or neutral article about
Anne Hathaway, watched the film Rachel Getting Married, where Hathaway portrays a recovering drug addict, and
then completed a post-test measuring involvement with Hathaway’s character and attitudes toward recovering drug
addicts and mentally ill individuals. Results demonstrated that social attraction to Anne Hathaway: moderated
identification with her narrative character, predicted parasocial interaction with her character, and also predicted
transportation, and enjoyment of the narrative. Finally, identification with the stigmatized narrative character
predicted more empathetic attitudes toward mentally ill individuals and drug addicts.

Presented at the following event:

7532. Negotiating Parenting in the Age of Ubiquitous Media
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Previous research has focused on parental misperceptions of children’s risky online behaviors. This study looks at the
largely neglected realm of positive online behaviors and seeks to identify predictors of parent-child disagreement with
respect to the frequency of how often the child engages in online behaviors that are more positive in nature. A
national sample survey of 456 matched parent-child pairs investigated how parenting style, difficulty communicating
about online behavior, attitudes about the Internet, the third person effect, private computing time, and demographics
are related to parental misperceptions of how often their children are using the Internet to complete homework
assignments, bond with friends, meet new friends, learn more about themselves, and access health information. As
predicted, parents overestimate how often their children use the Internet to complete homework assignments, to access
health information, and to learn more about themselves. Contrary to predictions, they have accurate perceptions of
how often their children use the Internet to maintain relationships with peers and meet new friends.
Predicting Students' Attitudes Toward and Level of Interracial Interaction From Interracial Interaction Expectation

Presented at the following event:

8155. Issues Facing Immigrants and Ethnic Minority Members
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This study examines the influence of interracial interaction expectation and campus racial climate perception on
attitudes toward interracial interaction, which, in turn, influences the level of interracial interaction among students.
Responses from 193 Malay and 165 Chinese students were analyzed using hierarchical regression. Results support the
hypothesized influence of interracial interaction expectation and campus racial climate perception on attitudes toward
interracial interaction for the Chinese students. But for the Malay students only interracial interaction expectation is
significant. Attitudes toward interracial interaction, in turn, significantly predict levels of interracial interaction for
both groups. Implications for higher education are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Objective. The aim of the study is to examine whether the playing of driving games and the viewing of music videos
during adolescence predict crash involvement in emerging adulthood. Method. A prospective cohort study (N=471)
with a five year interval was used to measure adolescents’ sex, media use, personality characteristics (baseline
measurement) and crash involvement (follow-up). At baseline measurement (2006) respondents were 17 or 18 years
old and did not have their driver’s license yet. Data were analyzed with logistic regression analyses and the
calculation of attributable risks. Results. Respondents who watched music videos at least several times a week
(OR=4.319) or respondents who played drive’em up games at least a few times a month (OR=3.125) had a
heightened chance of being involved in a car crash 5 years later, even after controlling for their total media exposure,
sex and personality characteristics. Implications for prevention are discussed.
Prediction of Newspaper Financial Performance From Differing Features of Online News Content, You Li, U of

Presented at the following event:

7231. New Media and Models for Understanding Content and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Ten years of monthly data about online news content and financial performance were collected from a medium-size
newspaper in the Southwest region of the United States. The content was classified in four different ways to reflect
different operational definitions of news content quality: content topics, geographic focus, depth, and diversity. The
content variables generated by each operationalization were then regressed upon five financial indicators: online
advertising revenue, circulation, advertising revenue, print advertising revenue, and total print revenue. Measures of
content depth and variety yielded the best predictors. Overall, the amount of news and sports content positively
influenced newspaper revenue; more variety of sports topics had a positive impact on revenue, whereas more variety
of news topic negatively affected revenue.
Predictors and Consequences of Using Television as a Babysitter for Young Children, Ine Beyens, KU Leuven;
Steven Eggermont, U of Leuven

Presented at the following event:

5532. The Home Ecology of Children's Media Use
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Prior studies found that parents have their children watch television for several reasons. One such reason is
babysitting the children. However, little research has examined predictors and consequences of using television as a
babysitter for young children. This study investigates child and parent characteristics associated with the use of
television as a babysitter and examines the impact of parents’ use of television as a babysitter on children’s viewing
time. Data from 844 parents of children between the ages of six months and six years are analyzed using structural
equation modeling. Parents’ attitude toward television emerged as best predictor of using television as a babysitter,
which in turn predicted increased time spent watching television. Children of parents with strong positive attitudes
toward television and, unexpectedly, children of parents with more education are at greater risk for increased
television viewing if they are put in front of the television for being occupied.
Predictors of Online News Use: Perceived Bias of Traditional Media and Preference for Partisan News, Woohyun

Presented at the following event:

8141. “I Like What I Hear!” The Impact of Partisan News
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Given the explosive growth of the Internet as a news source for people who perceive bias of traditional media and
prefer partisan news, we examine the predictive effects of perceived bias of traditional media and preference for
partisan news on online news use. Specifically, we test the hypotheses that perceived bias of traditional media and
preference for partisan news will predict online news use, and the effects will be contingent on partisan intensity.
Analyses of the 2010 Pew Internet and American Life Project (N = 1,675) show that people with higher levels of
preference of partisan news are more likely to use news online, and the tendency is more pronounced among strong
partisans. Although the effect of perceived bias of traditional media on online news use is not supported, the
interaction effect with partisan intensity is found. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
Predictors of Proenvironmental Behaviors of American and Korean Students: The Application of the Theory of

Presented at the following event:

7523. Taking Risks to Avoid Them: Risk Communication and the Environment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Based on the theory of reasoned action and protection motivation theory, this research examined the psychosocial
variables that can predict pro-environmental behaviors and the media and interpersonal sources of environment-
relevant information that can guide those perceptions and behaviors. Perceived severity and self-efficacy consistently
predicted behaviors for both American and Korean respondents. Interpersonal communication increased perceived
severity and self-efficacy, whereas no type of mass communication influenced those perceptions. The implications for
the practice of pro-environmental campaigns, media advocacy, and science journalism are further discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study explores how the expression of emotional support in online breast cancer support groups changes over
time, and how socio-demographic, disease-related and psychosocial characteristics predict the changing pattern. Data
was collected from 192 patients who participated in online breast cancer support groups within the Comprehensive
Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS) during the 6-month intervention. A longitudinal data analysis revealed
that the expression of emotional support increases over time during the mid of intervention, but decrease slightly with
time after that. With respect to the effects of predictors, Caucasian, women with living others are more likely to post
emotional support messages at the beginning of the intervention. For patients with high computer and the Internet
comfort, the expression of emotional support highly increases in the mid of intervention, but highly decrease over time
after that. The practical implications for health practitioners and e-health system designers are discussed.

This paper uses the Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing (LC4MP) framework (Lang,

systems with the environment is an open, self-organizing dynamic system capable of producing attractor states, and
that presence is the result of this motivated cognitive dynamic system settling into one specific attractor state.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Forms of scholarly communication and publishing have remained largely unchanged for the last two hundred years.
Many top-level journals today, which have moved to online formats, have implemented systems that merely transition
the print model to the online environment rather than take advantage of online technologies. This presentation looks at
successes and failures of new models that attempt to embrace technology as part of the core for scholarly
communication and pedagogical tools. The presentation will consider the experience of the Canadian journal
nomorepotlucks, experimentation with Google Reader as feminist method and pedagogical tool, along with research
into questions around feminist approaches to visual design, branding, social media and collaborative production. It
argues that through feminist ideals, it is time to seize the mode of production, collaborate, and redefine the models for
the future.

5229. ICT-Based Health Interventions Against Cyberbullying Amongst Youngsters
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This paper will report on an online tailored intervention developed to learn to cope effectively with Cyberbullying
experiences, and is explicitly directed at cyberbully victims in the age of 13-15 years. The ultimate goal is to reduce
the bullying experiences of victims and as a consequence to significantly decrease depressive and anxiety symptoms,
suicidal thoughts, and distress among these victims. Victims get three tailored advices divided over 6 months. The
tailored advices are theoretically based on the cognitive Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) developed by
Ellis (2007) and use methods derived from the social cognitive theory of Bandura (198). According to the REBT, it is
not the event itself that upsets individuals, but the irrational beliefs they hold (for instance ‘nobody likes me’). These
irrational beliefs cause psychosomatic and psychosocial health problems.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The model of intuitive morality and exemplars (MIME) predicts that media content can increase the importance of
pre-conscious moral intuitions, which shape moral decision-making. This increase in importance is said to occur when
media content primes specific moral intuitions and increases their accessibility. To date, attempts to demonstrate
evidence of this intuitive, preconscious process with self-report measures have met with little success. The current
paper presents results from a study designed to test the MIME’s predictions measuring the salience of moral intuitions
with an Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) thought to be more capable of detecting this effect. An experiment
manipulated exposure to media content that focused on care and compassion to test the proposition that media content
can prime feelings associated with this domain of moral intuition. The findings offer preliminary evidence supporting
the MIME’s proposition that media content can increase (temporarily at least) the salience of specific moral intuitions.

Presented at the following event:

5321. Research in Advertising: Perceptions, Content, and Effects
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

While cognitive psychology and advertising stand out in the priming and context effects literature for the amount of
research conducted, it is not clear that both refer to the same set of phenomena or that they understand them in a
similar way. Both disciplines show great differences in research interests, experimental designs, and testing stimuli
regarding priming and context effects, and the cross citation rate between them is low. However, a detailed analysis
shows that these differences signal a different approach to priming and context effects rather than conceptual or
theoretical incompatibility. Cognitive psychology is more interested in studying the mechanisms that support and
guide top-down and bottom-up processing, whereas advertising is more interested in the results of post-identification
processes such as evaluation and attitude formation in relation to advertising effectiveness. This finding shows that
fruitful research projects could be conducted though the collaboration and exchange of ideas between them.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This section, which is scheduled to take a full hour, will illustrate the four principles and related guidelines presented
in the resource package through conducting a mini-workshop. This format has been used successfully to build local
capacity in low-income countries in producing communication that meets the psycho-social as well as other holistic
needs of the most disadvantaged and excluded children. Participants will be introduced to a variety of examples of
good practices from around the world in a host of media formats and genres including posters, books, animation, TV
programs on topics ranging from HIV/AIDS, disability inclusion, childhood fears after emergencies and nurturing life-
skills.. The speaker will share her 30 years of work in this communication for development in countries such as
Maldives, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Mozambique, and Bhutan, discuss the unique challenges and difficulties, as well as
the accomplishments and lessons learned from children, caregivers and communicators from around the world.
Print Sports Journalists’ Use of Social Media and its Effect on Professionalism, Sada Reed

Presented at the following event:

6228. Follow Me: Twitter in the News-Making Process
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study builds off a pilot study that assessed print sports journalists’ use of social media and how this use
influences professionalism. In this study, a survey was administered to 77 print sports journalists who cover
professional sports. This study assesses how print sports journalists who cover professional sports use Facebook and
Twitter to gather information; and analyzes how these sports writers define “professionalism” and what industry
factors correlate with chosen definitions, such as gatekeeping, newspaper circulation, frequency of social media use,
and work superiors’ attitudes toward social media. Cross tabulations and chi-square tests were used to test
hypotheses. Cramer’s V or Phi, depending upon the cross tabulation, were used to measure relationship strength.
Results suggest a strong relationship between frequency of Twitter usage and the definition of professionalism
chosen; circulation size and instances of directly quoting from athletes’ social media accounts; and age and Twitter
usage.

Presented at the following event:

7123. Disclosure and Privacy in Social Networking Sites
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This project analyses texts on privacy using semantic network analysis approach to understand the semantic
relationships and meaning of privacy in online social networks. We use semantic network analysis to analyze the
discourses of privacy among young college-aged adults, to explore differentials based upon gender and age. Results
indicate that females are more likely to conceptualize relational meanings of privacy, compared to the material
meanings more typically articulated by males. Furthermore, younger college adults are more likely to conceptualize
relational meanings of privacy, compared to the material meanings more typically articulated by older college adults.
These results provide key insights that can be incorporated in online communication tools and technologies to help
ensure and preserve privacy of communicating parties in a better, more effective way.

The mobility and availability provided by mobile phones has emerged as a novel major circumstance in the last years,
raising questions about the changing patterns of how we may conceive locality and distance, not least regarding civic
engagement. New patterns of mobile communication might be re-writing the maps of political participation in the
process. However, mobility and availability cannot be understood as completely disengaged from socio-cultural and
political contexts. Social processes imply a constant actualization of practices in concrete contexts that greatly
intervene in the shaping of available and imaginable repertoires of practices within and among societies and groups,
and the case of mobile communication is not an exception. Mobile communication routes and turns, in the case of
activists, are drawn upon previously written and overlapping maps that deviate, impulse or set stop for the shaping of
new possibilities of flows. Setting focus, on the plausible implications of mobile communication for civic engagement
in ‘transitional societies’ (Curran & Jin Park, 2000), this paper provides a discussion on early mobile phone practices
within environmental activists’ from 2005 until 2008 in a non-Western context. Departing from the notion of private
sphere (Papacharissi, 2010), it discusses and presents the notion of private mobile civic engagement, as a way to
understand mobile communication practices among activists. The paper is based on a study on early ICT practices and
civic engagement among environmental activists in transitional societies, Argentina and Uruguay, between 2005 and
2008. It has its empirical basis on semi-structured interviews performed with the environmental activists in charge of
communication tasks within two NGOs, Guayubira Group and REDES Amigos de la Tierra Uruguay and a new social
movement, Asamblea Ciudadana Ambiental de Gualeguaychú, that engaged in a protest over the construction of pulp
mills and the development of a monoculture of trees model in Uruguay affecting water quality of the River Uruguay,
the geographical and political border with Argentina. This paper argues that the mobility and availability provided by
mobile phones at the time was put into use within the locus of the private to engage with the public, challenging
traditional patterns of civil engagement. Mobile communication actualized personal exchanges regarding the
extraordinary, the emotional support, the personal safety and the daily nuances. In this sense, I would like to challenge
the conceptualization of mobile communication merely as viral communication or modes of communication and
intervention for grassroots movements and political activism (Castells, 2006, 2009) as I argue that empirical evidence
suggests that mobile communication must be also put in the light of the private civic engagement.

Mitra, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

7341. The World at Work: National Culture and Organizational Communication
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In this essay, I offer the culture-centered approach (CCA) as a viable communicative framework to explore career
negotiations. Rooted in postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, the CCA examines the active negotiation of culture
in situ by social actors, through everyday communicative practice, amidst the structural conditions that frame their
lives. I first argue why the CCA becomes necessary in career studies, by identifying some current limitations in the
field, focusing on: 1) culture as (U.S.) minority social identity, 2) global and boundaryless careers, and 3) career vis-à-
vis organizational and professional cultures. Next, I contrast the CCA with three recent career frameworks that
address culture (viz., cultural formulations approach, social cognitive career theory, and cross-cultural careers
analysis), to clearly show its potential contributions. Finally, I focus on three particular areas that would benefit from
the CCA, namely: careers/culture-in-practice, global careers, and reflexive (academic) careers.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This paper provides a focused analysis of procedural justice, including both its predictors and effects, within a context
of moderated online deliberation. The paper starts with a theoretical discussion about the concept, procedural justice,
against the background of deliberative democracy. Further, the potential interaction between procedural justice and
disagreement is reviewed in light of previous empirical evidences. The findings are made up by two parts: First, the
predictors of procedural justice were explored among demographic variables, political involvement, and discussion
activities. Second, the effects of procedural justice and disagreement on outcomes such as enjoyment, satisfaction
with group decisions as well as intention of future participation are shown, after controlling for demographics,
political involvement and discussion activities. A discussion on the roles of disagreement and procedural justice in
deliberation as well as the importance of experience in political participation is provided at the end of this paper.

Presented at the following event:

7650. Communication and Context: Medium, Message, Source, and Receiver Characteristics
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

It is a widely shared assumption in exemplification research that exemplars in the media strongly influence people’s
judgements, in contrast to the rather ineffective base-rate information. The aim of this study is to reassess this
assumption. Because there are negligible studies that systematically vary the content of the base-rate information, it
has been impossible to detect any influence of this type of information. Furthermore, most exemplification studies
tested the effect in contexts with rather low societal relevance. Using an experiment with 214 subjects, the influence
of both exemplars and base-rate information is investigated in the context of political communication. The influence
of predispositions on the effects of both types of information is examined. The results show that the subjects formed
their judgements on the basis of the base-rate information, and not on the basis of the exemplars. Predispositions seem
to play a subsidiary role in this effect.

7335. Mapping and Processing the Rhetoric of Image/Texts in News and Advertising
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This research investigated meaning operation in relation to verbal anchoring and visual structure of visual rhetoric in
advertisements. The type of meaning operation between two pictorial elements determines the number of alternative
responses an image elicits. Meaning operation ‘connection’ is supposed to elicit less alternative responses than
‘similarity’. In a first study, connection was affected by verbal anchoring for comprehension, but similarity was not. In
a second study eye tracking measures were used to study meaning operation in combination with visual structure
(juxtaposition and fusion). Similarity led to more text-image transitions and image’s viewing durations than
connection. Interactions on transitions and perceived number of ideas suggest that fusion promotes alternative
responses in connection, but not in similarity. Apparently, connections leave interpretations more ‘open’ than
similarities, whereas similarities are more ambiguous (or ‘rich’).

7235. Choice, Choice, Choice: Understanding Selective Exposure
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

An experimental manipulation of media environment complexity (i.e., ratio of entertainment to news outlets) and a
scenario in which participants are encouraged to engage in political learning combine to elucidate the role of
procrastination in news media selection and news gratifications obtained. Findings indicate that there is a linear
downward trend in news consumption as the ratio of entertainment to news choices increases within a media
environment, but this trend is moderated by both passive and active procrastination. More specifically, this downward
trend is halted for low passive procrastinators and high active procrastinators as the media environment shifts from
moderate to high choice. Also, passive procrastination is a negative predictor of gratifications obtained from TV news
consumption.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Much extant research has examined how U.S. immigration law produces heteronormativity by denying immigration
rights to the LGBTQ community. In this essay, I expose a different facet of this heteronormativity for which feminist
scholars have not yet accounted: the production of patriarchal heterosexual relationships through the visas given to
foreign workers and their families. In particular, I show that the H-1B visas that are given to qualified foreign workers
and that the H-4 dependent visas that are given to their spouses are based upon the traditional gender roles of the
breadwinner and homemaker. By highlighting the voices of women holding H-4 dependent visas in Meghna Damani’s
2008 documentary Hearts Suspended, I demonstrate how regressive discourses of sexuality, class, nationality, and
gender are interwoven into U.S. immigration law. I conclude by proposing multiple avenues for future research that
examines the gendered and sexualized implications of the H-1B and H-4 visa system.

Presented at the following event:

5255. Extended Session: Talk in and for Action: Connecting Communities Through Discourse
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This paper analyzes the discursive strategies deployed in the linguistic production of homelessness and homeless
persons in the context of city-level policies on urban camping, and outlines the ways that homeless activists contested
their use in the public sphere. Homelessness has historically been defined as a deviant form of behavior and the
subjectivity of “homeless” has functioned as a social stigma alongside other forms of deviance. Three categories of
deviance were prevalent in descriptions of homelessness and urban camping – dirtiness, drugs, and danger –
perpetuating existing stereotypes through a process of synecdochisation, whereby “a specific feature, trait or
characteristic is selectively pushed to the fore as a ‘part for the whole’, as a representative depicter” (Reisigl &
Wodak, 2001, p. 46). Extending work on racism in public discourse, I illustrate how social actors were portrayed
using the predicative strategies of criminonyms (i.e., felons, criminals), negative habitonmys (i.e., alcoholics, drug
users), forms of spacialization (i.e., representations of spaces as associated with people – bushes, woods) and
anthroponyms (denoting states of mental or physical health, states of inebriation and states of cleanliness) (Reisigl &
Wodak, 2001; van Leeuwen, 1996). In the context of issue areas where the majority power-holding group rarely has
direct experience with the population being defined (as is often the case with homelessness), synecdochisation is a
particularly important referential practice for the social production of a population, including claims regarding the
source of its growth and the social policies appropriate to address the phenomenon. Further, efforts by people
experiencing homelessness or acting on behalf of homeless persons to contest the legitimacy of deviant subjectivities
proved particularly difficult in the absence of more positive areas of meaning to associate with homelessness,
suggesting that alternative definitional strategies are important resources for changing existing negative stereotypes
around class.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper will present an update of empirical data on professional features, values and standards of Polish journalists.
The most recent studies clearly showed differences between three generations of journalists, that is those who entered
the profession right after the political transformation in the late 1980s, those who just recently graduated from the
universities, and those who have been working for the media organizations for several decades now. While the
youngest journalists believe that the media should be just news disseminators, the eldest perceive media as a source of
interpretation and an educator. On the other hand, journalists who entered the profession two decades ago seem to be
more interested in the role of a watchdog. Since their professional career started during the political transformation
period, they still perceive themselves as an adversary of public officials. Hence, the paper will make attempts to
dig seriously into professional roles of journalists in Poland today. Empirical data collected on the basis of the
questionnaire will emphasize how do Polish journalists define their professional roles and to whom they see their
profession accountable and transparent. By emphasizing relations between media and politics, the impact of media
ownership as well as the role and impact of traditional media accountability instruments, the paper will further
analyze self-regulatory framework as well as strengths and weaknesses of the existing institutions of media
accountability (codes of journalistic conduct, legislative framework). The paper will deal with the issue of new
technologies and development of innovative media accountability institutions emerged in the online space. An in-
depth study of Internet culture analyzed together with actor/production transparency and relations with the audience
will help to define current changes in journalism culture in the fast-changing information society.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper discusses the issue of journalism profession standards, roles and functions in Russia taken both in
historical and modern prospective and reflects some acute trends in profession development. Since 1960s journalist
and scholar circles maintain the discussion on social functions of journalism. Secondary data analysis and current
studies clarify that the set of functions and roles stays more or less stable. The paper describes some peculiarities in
this field, gives some explanations of obtained results, speaks about the roles of modern media professionals and
defines the influence of internal and external conditions on self-identification, professional consciousness and
reflection. Transformations in communication space lead to the widening of the scope of professional existence of
journalist and make us pay attention to new extensions of profession. Blog becomes an increasingly popular
communication format adopted by professional journalists utilizing blogosphere differently in their professional,
social and personal activity. Proposed paper also questions are the Russian journalists’ blogs private matter that
enable journalists’ private discussions, for self-promotion, for use as an extra tool for journalistic investigations or
similar, or to serve mostly as an extension of professional activity being an extra channel for personal expression in
the context of press freedom limits. It touches the problem of blogs’ specifics, typology and the mapping of blogs’
using in journalists’ practice.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The profile of Chilean journalists reported in this study comes from a census of 1,979 journalists and from an online
survey of 570 journalists regarding their levels of professionalism, working conditions, perceived influences on
journalism, and personal characteristics. The findings show that the concentration of the media, market demands, and
a strong political parallelism greatly influence Chilean journalism. The typical Chilean journalist is a highly educated
male, less than 40 years old, and a political liberal. In terms of personal needs and satisfaction, their biggest
complaints are associated with their salaries and the possibility of reconciling their work and family lives. Their
perceived levels of autonomy are moderately high, although an important group feels several constraints in making
news decisions. Specifically, market and audiences, as well as advertising considerations, ownership and profit
expectations are perceived as the most important sources of influence on news work.

Drawing on a large-scale survey among journalists in Denmark (N = 2,008) this presentation will show that consistent
professional norms have developed among Danish journalists. Most Danish journalists hold a strong public service
ideal, support journalistic objectivity, and support a watchdog role for journalism. However, Danish journalists work
in organizations that potentially constrain their autonomy. While they feel quite free to make professional choices on
which stories to cover and how to cover them, Danish journalists report a high influence on their daily work from time
pressures and deadlines, competition with other media, and the editorial policy of their own media organization.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The increasing incidence of illegal music downloading among ordinary media consumers has cast copyright as a
central component of contemporary conversations about and activities around the creative industries. Industry workers
are intent on controlling copyright in the face of changing technologies, policymakers are concerned with the effect of
illegal downloading on the larger cultural economy, ISPs are forced to defend their roles and responsibilities, and
users are navigating morally and legally murky terrain in their pursuit of digital media. Copyright may be a shared
topic among these interested groups, but the nature of the discourses circulated within these groups are not always in
tune. This research will shed light on the complexities of the copyright debate in the digital age by exploring why and
how users, policymakers, internet service providers and producers construct, promote and maintain ideological
justifications around copyright. Bethany Klein is Lecturer in Media Industries at the Institute of Communications

The American women’s national soccer team (USWNT) has broken societal gender stereotypes and found an
audience, bringing the 2011 Women’s World Cup to headline the news. The team and the U.S. Soccer Federation
(USSF) try to capitalize on the Internet’s low prices and wide reach using social media. This study examines the
coverage of women’s soccer on two USSF’s Twitter accounts: the general account, @ussoccer, and the account
dedicated to the USWNT, @ussoccer_wnt. The study started 10 days before the start of the 2011 women’s World Cup
and ended 10 days after the championship game. It found that although the USSF provided frequent coverage of
women’s soccer, most of that coverage was confined to the USWNT account. In contrast, on the general account, the
men’s national team, which played half as many games as the USWNT during the length of this study, received more
coverage than the USWNT.

Observational studies prove to be very suitable to provide a realistic view of people’s Internet skills. However, their
cost and time are a strong limitation for large-scale data gathering. A useful addition to the measurement of Internet
skills would be the development of survey questions for measuring Internet skills. In this contribution, we analyzed
potential survey measures for operational, formal, information, and strategic Internet skills. Three steps were followed
to obtain valid items; coherences between on the one hand frequency and agreement scales and on the other hand the
results of two large/scale performance tests (assignment completion and time spent) are measured, the Fornell and
Larcker discriminant validity criterion was used to test discriminant validity of these Internet skills items, and the
items are analyzed using a first-order confirmatory factor analysis. The items that resulted from the three steps might
be used in future survey measures.

Despite significant differences in its political conditions and policies, since 2006 the central government of the
People’s Republic of China has undertaken construction of a PSB system of its own. The result is a new form of top-
down public communications network with similarities to both Chinese and European precedents.These developments
raise interesting questions concerning the origins and role of PSB within an ostensibly authoritarian society, and the
extent to which media’s public service functions can co-exist with a state-owned broadcasting sector. In this paper, we
address these questions by first examining normative conceptions of PSB in Western Europe – the cradle of its
emergence – and China. In our view, debate over the meanings and goals of PSB can explain, if not predict, the shape
of public media within a variety of historical and national contexts. We begin by addressing questions of fundamental
importance: which functions of PSB are given precedence at the expense of others? To what ends are these functions
intended? Next we summarise the policy environment and other key conditions that are giving rise to PSB as a sector
in China. We conclude with examination of PSB expansion in the local context to add an empirical perspective on the
state’s normative rhetoric.

This study analyzes the configurations of public activities in France and in Romania, and the connections between
such configurations and U.S.-based models of public relations, through critical theoretical lenses, and with the aid of
mixed research methods. The study corroborates data from a content analysis of websites with the data from a
thematic analysis of interviews. This study draws the almost opposite conclusion than functionalist studies: it seems
that the more independent from U.S. predominant models public relations is in a specific country, or the more
grounded in local models and in critical reflection on models public relations is in a specific country, the better
chances public relations has to be pursued successfully, grounded in the concerns and the issues of businesses as well
as of communities that businesses are part of.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

In recent years organizational strategy has become central in communication disciplines. The result is a body of
research on how to communicate strategically. The research has largely, however, been without any theoretical
explanation for why the tenets of strategic communication work. Focusing on strategic communication work we have
done over the past five years with the Department of Defense, this paper explores the ways in which theories of
organizational interdependence, specifically organizational ecology and resource dependence, provide an impetus for
how communication is strategic. We’ll also discuss the underlying factors that determine the extent to which different
communication techniques impact the strategic position of the organization within its ecological network.
Specifically, we will use the 2008 Department of Defense memorandum on the Principles of SC, translate them into
the language of organizational interdependence, and show how an organization’s strategy is influenced through
communication.

This article approaches the question regarding the implications of China’s public service broadcasting (PSB) policy
for the lives of Chinese citizens and for the limitation of State power from both normative and historical perspectives.
It first compares the Chinese normative concept of public interest and relationship between State power and individual
rights with one typical of liberal democracy. It asks which values and functions of PSB are privileged or neglected in
the Chinese discourses by those who hold power. A historical perspective is being taken up to inquire into the origins
and actual evolution of Chinese PSB policy, posing the fundamental questions: why did PSB in China evolve into its
current form? and how well does this form match the normative justifications for it proffered to the public? This
article argues that China’s public service broadcasting (PSB) policy has been motivated more by the pragmatic ends of
securing social stability and cohesion than by moral or humane concerns for the development of citizens. Actual PSB
policy focused predominantly on a narrowly defined „basic cultural right ‟ of access to broadcast media and on social
equalization between urban and rural access to broadcast networks. The lack of consensus on the substance of the
public interest undermines any meaningful political construction of PSB. The long-term implications of PSB policy
depend on the legitimation of the discourse of individual rights and equality, and on recognition of the broadcast
media’s role in independently serving the public and common good and of the State’s obligation to respect individuals
as citizens having equal and unalienable rights.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Although many studies documented the contribution of news media environments to political knowledge gaps, most
insights are based on single country studies. Why are gaps wide in some countries and narrower in others? How does
the context alter the supply of politically relevant information? We argue that cross-national variations in news
content and political context provide citizens with differential opportunities to engage in politics. These contextual
opportunities offset the advantages of individual motivation and ability to seek political information, and alter gaps in
engagement. Employing a cross-national dataset of voters in over 10 countries and content analyses of multiple news
items from over 50 international print and television outlets, we find evidence consistent with the theoretical
argument. We discuss the implications for future work in comparative political communication research.

Putting the “Sexual” in “Public Intellectual”, Lynn A. Comella, U of Nevada - Las Vegas

Presented at the following event:

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Topics related to sexuality, from advertising to the adult entertainment industry, provide frequent fodder for media
outlets. Yet how sexuality, including sexuality research, is depicted by mainstream media is narrow at best and, at
times, woefully inaccurate. Media reporting on sexuality is often more concerned with titillating readers and
sensationalizing an issue (which helps to generate internet “hits”) than with serving the community and informing the
public. For this roundtable, I draw on my experience working as a sexuality scholar, sex columnist and frequent
media commentator in Las Vegas - an epicenter of sexual commerce and popular entertainment - in order to discuss
strategies for how scholars can put the “community” into “communication research” and the “sexual” in “public
intellectual” in an effort to intervene in public discourses and policy considerations related to sexual culture and
commerce.

Presented at the following event:

7236. Analyzing the Visual: Theory, Methods, and Practice of Visual Content Analysis
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Within the last two decades the growing importance of media images has resulted in an significant increase of visual
communication research (for an overview see Barnhurst, Vari & Rodriguez, 2004, Lobinger & Grittmann 2010). In
this regard, quantitative content analysis has become one of the key methods to explore visuals in news coverage,
political communication or advertising (ibid.). Though several introductory books to visual analysis have been
published, they focus foremost on qualitative methods of visual analysis, while quantitative content analysis has been
discussed only superficially (cf. Kress & van Leeuwen 2006, van Leeuwen & Jewitt 2006, Rose 2007). The
development of methods for the profound analysis of large amounts of pictures seems to be one of the key challenges,
and the methodological discussion, how to explore the “iconic” dimension of pictures in a systematic way is just
evolving (cf. Coleman 2010). This paper provides an overview of the different approaches to examine pictures with
quantitative content analysis. Thereby, the authors are less interested in theoretical approaches than rather in the
categories that are applied to adequately capture visual aesthetics and visual content. By employing a systematic meta-
analysis of “visual articles” that have been published in peer reviewed and relevant scientific journals between 1990
(shortly before the proclamation of the “pictorial turn” by Mitchell in 1992) and 2009, these specific “visual
dimensions” and categories were examined. The overview reveals a broad variety of categories to explore visual
content and visual aesthetics stemming from diverse theoretical approaches. Qualitative approaches (cf. social
distance theory, iconography, social semiotics) have influenced this methodological development. Hence, the mutual
enrichment of qualitative and quantitative content analytic approaches is of particular interest. Finally current
problems of quantitative visual analysis are discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

In July 2009, the Delhi High Court repealed Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code thereby decriminalizing consensual
sex among same-sex adults. This landmark verdict has resulted in greater visibility of queer sexuality in Indian media
today. There is also a strong independent queer film circuit that is developing within the country. However, what do
these representations reflect in terms of national identity and aspects of modernity? What kinds of sexualities and
genders are being overshadowed even in this era of greater visibility? These questions become pivotal in the backdrop
of the rise of revivalist Hindu politics and the violent response to diaspora filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s Fire. My
ongoing project intends to analyze films – mainstream and independent - that have been produced post-Fire. Apart
from textually analyzing these films, I intend to delve into the motivations of the filmmakers and the response of the
queer community. This project will be a churning of discourses to contextualize current attitudes towards same-sex
desire in a post-colonial and post-377 verdict setting.

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The study of non-Western queer sexualities engages debates about global media flows, minoritized local identities,
cultural hegemony, and post-colonial subjectivity. Lebanese queer activists have used digital media for the creation
and circulation of a globally-informed and locally-anchored empowering discourse. Studying this mediated discourse
moves us beyond a media imperialism and orientalism framework. It identifies otherwise neglected notions of agency,
cultural resistance, and indigenization. Language is of particular importance; the lack of positive Arabic terminology
on sex in general and queer sex in particular leads to the use of English to discuss sexual practices and identities. Not
only does this raise epistemological questions, it also carries implications for conducting research. What language
should we use during interviews? How do we deal with a bilingual queer discourse on sex? And how do we make the
case for a local, home-grown queer movement when the very language of this movement is “foreign”?
Questioning Chinese Premier at Press Conferences: Exploring the Discrepant Roles of Foreign and Domestic
Journalists, Yan Yi, City U of Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

6527. Critical Reporting and Watchdog Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Following Goffman’s dramaturgical approach, this study considers political press conferences as a kind of public
performances, on which the political figures and journalists are actors with discrepant roles. It focuses on the audience
side and seeks to explore how foreign and domestic journalists perform their discrepant roles at the case of the
Chinese Premier Press Conference (CPPC). By examining their behaviours both at the back stages and front stages
under the situation of the CPPC, this study argues that while Chinese journalists perform their roles to work with the
performers in some way, foreign journalists always try to perform the roles that stand the interests for the audiences.
While facing such multiple roles from the audience side, the Chinese premier should always improve their techniques
on managing their impression and press relations.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study investigated differences between how local and national newspapers framed race in their coverage of the
2007 Virginia Tech (VT) shootings. The results showed a local newspaper, with geographic and social ties to the VT
community, published more stories about the shootings than did national newspapers and continued to publish articles
well after the national newspapers had stopped. Further, national newspapers mentioned the shooter’s race more often
than did the local newspaper, despite having published fewer articles. The results also showed that national
newspapers racialized the shooter more often and more prominently than did the local newspapers, but that the two
newspaper types did not differ according to the levels of race frame each used (i.e., attribution of the crime to the
shooter himself versus attributing it to his race), according to how racialized discussion of the shooting was, or in their
use of implicit racialization.

5530. Message Features and Segmentation Strategies: Theorizing and Measuring Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Gender and racial disparities in smoking rates or smoking-related health outcomes exist. Before allocating resources
to develop and disseminate anti-smoking messages, it is crucial to understand if sub-audiences will respond to those
messages differently and if message segmentation is necessary. Thus, we tested whether the association between
beliefs about quitting smoking and intention to quit smoking differ by race (Black/White) or gender, one criterion for
choosing the focus of messages. Data came from a representative sample of adult smokers (N=501; 44% male; 53%
Black) surveyed for the formative evaluation of an anti-smoking media campaign. Out of 25 beliefs, 11 were
significantly related to intention across all smokers, 3 were significant for White smokers only, and 1 was significant
for female smokers only. The results suggest that there are a number of cessation beliefs that would resonate across
audiences of smokers, reducing the need for different message strategies for each sub-audience.
Racially Discriminatory Messages (RDM) Targeting Asian Americans and Asian Americans' Communication
Approach for Responding to RDMs, Jungmi Jun, U of Northern Iowa

Presented at the following event:

6533. Media, Migrants, and Diaspora
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The purposes of the present study are to explore two following questions: What are the discriminatory messages
against the Asian race in society? What are the Asian Americans’ communication approaches when they deal with
such racially discriminatory messages (RDM)? In order to address these questions, Orbe’s co-cultural theory was
adopted as a guiding theory. An online survey was administered to people who identify themselves as Asian residing
in the US. The survey asked participants to provide a description of their racial discrimination experience. 176 stories
were collected and analyzed with two phases: (1) qualitative thematic analysis and (2) quantitative content analysis.
The analysis indicated that RDMs targeting Asian Americans are prevalent in their everyday interactions. These
RDMs were thematized as (a) racial slur, (b) playground teasing, (c) Asians will never be and will never know
Americans, (d) sexualizing Asian males/females, (e) bamboo ceiling or pigeon holding, (f) Asians are all the same, (g)
forbidden land, (h) Asians are simply gross, and (i) alienation within Asian groups. It was found that RDMs targeting
Asian Americans are still overtly, directly, and publicly displayed as verbal and nonverbal forms in contemporary
society. Also, Asian Americans tend to utilize nonassertive approach than assertive or aggressive. In selecting
nonassertive approaches various internal and environmental factors influence including the emotion of humiliation
and shock, a lack of knowledge about appropriate responses, peer pressure not to confront, and strategic intentions to
gather more information about the situation and to protect themselves from further risks.

Christopher Harris, Nevada State College

Presented at the following event:

7133. Race in Popular Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The current study is the second in a series of studies that hinge on a “psycho-poetical” reading of the lyrics of rap
music and neo-soul in an effort to better understand the socio-cultural standpoints and burgeoning radicalism of young
black American adults. This “psycho-poetical” approach is complemented by black musicological concepts and
Marxian modes of textual analysis that emphasize the social implications of the symbolic act. This study recognizes
and values the effect that cultural utterances have, and can potentially have, on the transformation of social reality.
And it provides an examination of the poetic treatment of the police and work & crime in the lyrics of contemporary
black music. Interrogating the distinctive music of young black American adults illuminates the current of radical
expression that courses through their mindsets; a current which constitutes a liberatory poetics that possesses
revolutionary potential.

Presented at the following event:

8150. Methodological Innovations
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This paper describes the development of a series of rated measures of narrative structure for written texts. Data for
the final study was collected in an adult smoker sample with stimuli designed to increase intention to quit smoking,
memory for the written smoking cessation messages and agreement with story-relevant beliefs in these messages.
Results suggest that information that is more sequential improves recognition memory whereas messages that have
more contextual information decrease recognition memory. The message features that affect intention to quit smoking
and agreement with story-relevant beliefs are different than the measures features that predict recognition.
Rationales For and Against Regulatory Involvement in Resolving Internet Interconnection Disputes, Robert M.

Presented at the following event:

5531. Network Development and Regulation
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper will examine the terms and conditions under which Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) interconnect
facilities as they switch and route traffic for each of several links between a source of content, e.g., Netflix, and the
delivery of that content to consumers. The paper concludes that for each networking element commercial terms and
conditions apply and that the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) may lack direct statutory authority to
intervene based on its determination that Internet access constitutes a largely unregulated information service.
However the FCC may appropriately respond to complaints, particularly when ISPs act on their incentive and ability
to pursue anticompetitive strategies. The FCC should refrain from aggressive and proactive problem solving, but
stand ready to resolve intractable disputes, particularly ones where stalling harms consumers and the sustainability of
competition.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Research has consistently shown a gap between male and female income earners. Explanations have been found in
social expectations and mechanisms relating to gender roles. In this paper, we investigate what happens to gendered
economic disparity when those mechanisms are removed. We examine wealth creation within the virtual economies of
two massively-multiplayer online games (MMOs)—environments where gender cues are malleable and meritocracy
trumps identity—in the first study on economic disparity within multiple MMOs. Observed measures of player
behavior indicate that player sex and character gender have a statistically significant relationship with virtual wealth,
but in practice the effect is very small. While further research is needed on observed gender differences in play styles
and motivations in virtual environments, the present results support an optimistic argument: as workplaces turn
increasingly virtual, obfuscating physical gender cues and traditional allocation mechanisms, gendered economic
disparity in society is likely reduced.

Contributing to the expanding field of cinema and diaspora studies, this article reports on a media ethnographic study
of a ‘large’ diaspora’s engagement with a ‘small’ homeland film industry. The local case study described here is the
Moroccan diaspora in Antwerp (Belgium). Our analysis focuses particularly on communual, generational and
religious aspects related to film culture. Inspired by cultural anthropology, we apply the concept of re-membering to
the diaspora’s engagement with homeland films, looking at memories related to films and the homeland on the one
hand and the role of diasporic film practices in group membership on the other hand.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

A recent study examining the Narrative Enjoyment Appreciation Rationale (NEAR) demonstrated that narratives
presenting moral conflict were experienced as enjoyment if the resolution satisfied all moral concerns (all-positive
endings), but they were experienced as appreciation if the resolution satisfied some moral concerns at the cost of
others (mixed-positive endings). The current paper presents two experiments manipulating narrative resolutions and
examining the extent to which trait moral intuitions moderate (a) self-reported experiences of appreciation and
enjoyment and (b) response time measures representing the extent to which individuals rely on intuitive (faster) versus
deliberative (slower) cognitive systems to evaluate the different narrative resolutions. Consistent with the NEAR,
respondents higher on content-relevant moral intuitions were slower to evaluate mixed-positive endings, appreciated
them more, and enjoyed them less than respondents lower on these intuitions.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Immediately after the London tube bombings of July 2005, many television news interviews in the UK featured
accounts of ordinary travellers who had survived. These interviews regularly slipped into a kind of speech genre
which is best described, following Labov and Waletsky (1967), as narratives of personal experience. However, while
each interviewee had endured a unique experience, behind the individual drama of these survivors’ tales there is
striking uniformity, one which Labov and Waletsky’s analytical framework helps to display. The repetitive quality of
these stories, rehearsed repeatedly in televised interviews, may be seen as a form of public ritual, which chimed with a
broader public response in which Londoners affirmed their intention to swiftly resume the normality of everyday
existence. The sentiments of the individual interviewees thus intersected with a larger current of public opinion and
their stories provided the community with appropriate models for ‘working things through’ (Ellis, 2002)

Digital gaming is not just a contemporary form of media entertainment - it is first and foremost a joint activity for an
increasing number of people. Despite the growing popularity of community oriented gaming, some worries about
social isolation through games remain. In order to examine the role of gaming for social connectivity, we reconstruct
the social networks of 92 gamers with different socio-demographical backgrounds. In contrast to public fears, our
results imply that gamers are well integrated, and that gaming plays a considerable role for social connectivity.
Furthermore, the network analysis reveals that the so called ,real life‘ and ,virtual life‘ communities of gamers are not
two distinct spheres - they rather influence and overlap each other. While gaming does not help in widening the social
networks of the gamers, it works as a social ,amplifier: According to our findings, existing ties seem to be enforced
through multiplexity.

This study investigates the implications of social capital on Farmville play and the relationship between game play
and players’ perceived psychological wellness. Using survey data collected through Farmville players in Taiwan
(N=430), this study found the intensity of Farmville play was positively associated with players’ perceived bridging
and bonding social capital. Further analyses found the relationship between Farmville play and players’ perceived
sense of loneliness. The findings of this study suggested that game play may not be addictive given the shorter time
the respondents devoted to daily Farmville play. The casual setting of social games may be an enjoyable and non-
addictive source of coping with loneliness.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This paper proposed a new method that estimates the degree to which an individual is a specialist-type or a generalist-
type citizen. Employing the 2008 ANES data, the study demonstrated that the proposed method can significantly
extend the scope of research on issue publics in a number of ways. Beyond the long pending question of which type
of citizen prevails in society, the new method allows us to examine various antecedents or consequences of specialists
and generalists. For example, the study found that new media were associated with specialist-type citizens, whereas
traditional media, such as television, newspaper, and radio, fostered generalist-type individuals. Moreover, the author
argued that although the issue public is a two-dimensional concept in nature, previous research has largely overlooked
it. Therefore, by combining the proposed method with previous issue public measures, the study identified four types
of citizens within each issue and compared their levels of issue knowledge and attitude extremity.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Though the film/TV casting process was once dominated by male executives, by the 1990’s, the attendant production
communities were not only female-dominated but also feminized in terms of the skills required for success on the job.
What brought about this shift, when so many other professions were feminized earlier or remained male-dominated
and/or gender neutral into the contemporary period? This research pinpoints how, when, and why this anomalous shift
took place. Focusing on the transitional, post-studio years of the 1950’s and 1960’s, when casting directors and their
communities began to move off studio lots and away from the executive/managerial status of the job under the
contract system, the presentation will outline how power differentials in the industry transformed casting processes
and production communities to suit the needs of above-the-line media makers as well as to make use of what were
seen at the time as casting directors’ “womanly” strengths.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Research dealing with social responses to formal elements of media presentation has indicated that technical flaws are
cues that can reduce the effectiveness of a persuasive message. For example, asynchrony between video and audio in
a persuasive video clip can negatively impact viewers’ perceptions of the clip’s content. This new study, however,
suggests that technical flaws in video messages may sometimes actually lead to increased persuasive effects.
Specifically, an experiment varied jerkiness of motion (normal, subtle jerky, or obvious jerky), in a persuasive
message and measured participants’ compliance with the message, perceptions of the source, heart rate, and skin
conductance. Findings indicated that both “jerky” conditions elicited higher scores on a measure of compliance than
the “normal” condition. There were also inconsistent effects on heart rate across conditions. Results suggest that
technical flaws may sometimes simply enhance processing of the message, which for high-credibility sources may
lead to more compliance.

6231. When New Technologies Were Old
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The early 1980s marks the period during which computers, heretofore understood as large, industrial mainframes, first
began to transition into personal and domestic commodities. This essay explores the industry's early attempt to market
home computers, arguing that in the absence of a discernible need that home computing fulfilled, its earliest
appearances in the home were scaffolded by enduring cultural fantasies regarding the promise of technologized
homes, and women's place and labor within them. In particular, I argue that the trope of computerized recipe storage
for women contributed significantly to the near-catastrophic market fallout of the home computer market in late 1984.
This essay contributes to scholarship on the history of communications technologies that seeks to unearth the
instability and indeterminacy of new technologies in their period of introduction and to show how cultural factors are
at work in their reception and use.

While some argue that new media allow for a recuperation of the unfulfilled promises of the Enlightenment, others
claim that new media allow for a redefinition of the public sphere, one that implies a separation from Enlightenment
ideals. The issue is whether new media should be judged on the basis of similarity with the traditional public sphere,
inextricably associated with a coincidence with parliamentary politics (Fraser, 1990: 75), or whether they should be
assessed on the basis of a more inclusive notion of the public sphere, one which ceases to coincide with formal
politics and opens itself to the private sphere. This theme will be explored by discussing part of a research project
concerning Portuguese women’s online participation, focussing on the extent to which online forum discussions held
by women who have experienced pregnancy loss follow the processes of communicative rationality inherent in the
deliberate model of the public sphere

Building on Littlepage et. al.’s (1995) earlier research, this experiment examines recognition of expertise and
perceived influence in intercultural groups. Controlling for the impact of actual expertise, the results showed that
confidence in communication did not affect recognition of expertise, but affected perceived influence; task-oriented
communication had significant positive impacts on both recognition of expertise and perceived influence; and finally,
relationship-oriented communication, talkativeness, and dominance had no significant impact on either recognition of
expertise or perceived influence. Taken together, the results provide a better understanding of factors that influence
recognition of expertise and perceived influence in intercultural groups. Implications of the results for intercultural
communication are discussed.

Current transitions in the media and technology landscape go together with a shift from mass media and personal

are becoming engrained in Western everyday life. According to Deuze people are living their life in media, rather than
with media, which makes it increasingly challenging to investigate media technologies separated from everyday
experiences. Citing Thrift, ICT and software are intervening in almost all aspects of everyday life and are sinking into
its taken-for-granted background. This especially relevant when discussing the changing perspective on privacy and
identity. Hence in this panel presentation I will critically assess the design and use of social network sites and other
online community tools in relation to social and informational privacy. The focus will be on users and communities in
a social media culture, and how they are (dis)empowered when being confronted with Lash's 'power through the
algorithm'.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Reducing STDs and AIDS/HIV incidence requires campaigns designed to change knowledge, attitudes and practices
of risky sexual behavior and its consequences. In China, a significant obstacle to such changes is the stigma
associated with these diseases. Thus one campaign intervention strategy is to train credible popular opinion leaders to
discuss these issues in social venues. This study tested the effectiveness of such an approach, across two years, from a
sample of nearly 4000 market vendors, in three conditions. Results showed an increasing growth in market
communication about intervention messages, and concomitant declines in stigmatizing attitudes, across time, with the
greatest changes in opinion leaders, significant changes in intervention non-opinion leaders, and little change in the
control markets.
Reinforcing Property by Strengthening the Commons: A New Media Policy Paradigm?, Peter Jakobsson, Sodertorn U;

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

In much scholarly writing and in many leftist and activist accounts the enclosures of the cultural commons have been
fiercely critiqued. However, during the last years new media business models are taking shape that challenge the
notion of the cultural industries as ‘copyright industries’. A new class of entrepreneurs is instead working to expand
the commons as part of their businesses. Accordingly, representatives from these new media industries, policy makers
and politicians have joined the academic and political critique of the ”enclosures of the cultural common”. The paper
argue that this is a shift within the dominant media policy paradigm and an attempt to integrate existing practices on
the internet, based on cooperation and sharing, into the market. By relocating the struggle from ‘intellectual property’
to ‘platform economics’ the media industry can exploit the productivity of the commons while holding on to the
power that comes with ownership and property.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The introduction of the Aristotelian concept of practical reason (phronesis) into the academic study of journalism has
prompted questions about aspects of journalism that seem mostly to be taken for granted. Such as: The framing of the
relationship between journalists and their audiences as a producer-consumer relationship; the idea that a dichotomy of
(universal) Truth versus Power is pivotal to journalism; the assumed connection between journalism and a frozen
point in time: the now; and, indeed, how journalistic practice may be standardised or otherwise affected by
authoritative, theoretical and empirical journalism studies that use such understandings as their baselines. Journalism
studies seem well suited to non-dogmatic phronetic approaches that allow room for multiple perspectives (different
languages and academic disciplines included), demand continuous questioning and scrutiny, and may serve to further
journalistic diversity in practice.

5323. Intimacy & Emotional Supports in Social Network Sites
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

As social media technologies proliferate, researchers are seeking a deeper understanding of how and why people use
social media. From prior research, satisfying relatedness needs is a central reason people use social media. While prior
research has focused on the role of social interactions, we introduce the idea that interaction with content can also
satisfy relatedness needs. We propose that online social identity (OSI), the tendency to derive self-concept from online
social graphs, along with intrinsic and introjected motivation, moderate the relationship between type of social media
goal pursued and relatedness need satisfaction. While social goals lead to higher relatedness than content goals, when
OSI is high, content goals can also lead to relatedness need satisfaction. In addition, intrinsic motivation increases
relatedness for social goals, while introjected motivation increases relatedness for content goals. We show that the
extent to which users report a direct experience of connectedness mediates these relationships.

5533. Perceptions of Advisors, Students, and Student Services in Instructional Settings
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which doctoral students’ advisor-advisee relational uncertainty
is related to their reports of received mentoring support from their advisors and their own use of relational
maintenance behaviors. Doctoral students (N = 378) completed the Academic Mentoring Behaviors Scale (Schrodt,
Cawyer, & Sanders, 2003), the Mentoring and Communication Support Scale (Hill, Bahniuk, Dobos, & Rouner,
1989), the Relational Uncertainty Scale (Knobloch & Solomon, 1999), and the Advisee Relational Maintenance Scale
(_______ & _______, under review). The results of Pearson correlational analyses indicate that advisees’ reports of
received mentoring support from their advisors are related negatively to their advisor-advisee relational uncertainty,
which in turn is related negatively to advisees’ use of relational maintenance behaviors with their advisors. These
findings emphasize further the importance of advisors’ provision of mentoring support for their advisees.

The emergence of social media has inherently changed communication patterns in our current society. Many
companies are trying to tap into social media as a strategic marketing communication channel. Thus, this study
attempts to examine how Fortune 500 companies are using their Facebook brand pages, the leading social networking
sites, based on relationship maintenance strategies outlined by Hon and Grunig (1999). It was found that relationship
maintenance strategies – positivity, assurance, access, openness, sharing of tasks, and networking – were widely used
in brand pages offered by Fortune 500 companies. Also, the more the company posts content, the more users likes the
company’s brand page. Therefore, companies should frequently leave comments and communicate with their fans if
they hope to build online relationships through Facebook.

This study examined CSR as a probable relationship maintenance strategy that could strengthen relationships between
organizations and their employees, specifically by exploring linkages between employee perceptions of their
organization’s CSR practices and relationship outcomes such as trust and commitment, thus extending the relationship
management perspective in public relations. Results, based on a survey (N=244) with employees of two large publicly
listed companies in India, revealed strong, significant and positive associations between CSR and organization-
employee relationships, especially between legal, ethical and discretionary dimensions of CSR and relationships. CSR
is then proposed as a relationship maintenance strategy, especially in the context of employee relations.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

As Twitter becomes a more common means for officials to communicate with their constituents, it becomes more
important that we understand just how that communication relates to other political activities. Using data from 411
members of Congress’ Twitter activity during the summer of 2011, we examine relationships among the resulting
conversation networks, language use, and political behavior. The social networks that result from their
communications have surprisingly low density and high diameter, indicating a level of independence that is surprising
for a group so tightly connected offline. Our findings also indicate that officials frequently use Twitter to advertise
their political positions and to provide information but rarely to request political action from their constituents or to
recognize the good work of others. Our analysis suggests strong relationships between anti-social behaviors indicated
by the loosely connected network and low incidence of pro-social conversations and polarized or extreme
Congressional voting records.

This paper focuses on Alasdair MacIntyre’s analysis of the relativist thesis. It considers the challenge that relativism
poses to the very possibility of communication between different linguistic communities. There are many different
ways of making sense of relativism. Some are fairly basic and intuitive, while others are more complex and counter-
intuitive. MacIntyre has developed one of the most elaborate interpretations of relativism to date. This interpretation
reflects his concern about the possibility of moral discourse in a world of radical diversity. In this paper, I read
MacIntyre’s treatment of relativism as a challenge for the very possibility of communication.

A secondary analysis of data collected by two cross-national surveys of U.S. journalists in 2007 (n=402) and Spanish
journalists in 2011 (n=762) was conducted to compare their perceptions about professional roles and ethical values,
and to assess whether media system is the best predictor for those attitudes. Findings showed that media system is the
most important predictor of roles conceptions, but not of ethical aggressiveness. Spanish journalists were more likely
to see themselves as mobilizers and less likely to support a disseminator role than the U.S. journalists. A slight
difference in ethical aggressiveness was found, however the biggest dissimilarities were on the support of some
unethical reporting methods. U.S. journalists showed more tolerance to harass sources and invade privacy than their
Spanish colleagues. Media systems' cultural and historical characteristics were used to explain the differences found
among the journalists

7137. Tracking New Media Influence in Multiple Cultural Spheres
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Global network and global communication have been part of every day life and religious life in the twenty first
century. The invention of social medias (e.g facebook) and super mobile phones technologies (e.g. Blackberry;
Iphone) further revolutionize the embeddedness of global network in everyday and religious life by making global
communication more personalized, cheaper, more entertaining and easier to use. This centrality of computer-mediated
communication in religious life undoubtedly changes radically the way people do and experience religion, and also the
way religion are perceived and constructed. The goal of this article is to study the socially specific internet use of
Naqsabandi sufi order, a Michigan-based Islamic spiritual group, with world wide influence, to illuminate the social
shaping of communication technology upon religion, the specific use of internet in a religious community, and more
importantly the embeddedness of internet, global network, global communication and computer in everyday life of
religious community members as part of the effort to understand new forms of sociality in the global world. Based on
that objective, this paper seeks to answer the following questions: (1) how and in what context internet is used by
Naqsabandi Group; (2) as computer-mediated communication has its own characteristics (e.g. velocity, recordability,
syncronicity, anonymity), what traditional factors and the conditions of possibilities that have enabled the sufi group
to adjust quickly to this modern technology?; (3) how online activities are related to the face-to-face activities?; (4)
how are internet, global network and computer are embedded in the everyday life of Naqshabandi followers; and (5)
how do the idea of living with internet and global communication relate to the social construction of community? To
answer these questions, I immerse my self in the online and face-to-face activities held by Naqsabandi Sufi Group,
particularly in the regular meditation gathering, both as a researcher and as meditation member, in one of its corner
(zawiyyah/sufi center) in Indonesia. The place of Indonesia in the matrix of global communication is unique because
Indonesia, the home for the largest Muslims in the world, is among the largest users of internet and social medias in
the world, that offers rich stories about the interplay between religion, global communication and social change. This
article is important in three ways. Firstly, it emphasizes upon analysis of the specific use of internet, blended with
observation of face to face communication, exemplified by Naqsabandi Haqqani, to give nuance to the existing
theories about religion on the web (for example Stephen O’Lears’ “cyberspace as sacred space” 1996 and
Derrickson’s “virtual pilgrimage” 2008) methodologically centered upon online communication only. Secondly, it
stresses ethnographic approach to analyze how internet is specifically used, how internet, global networks and
computer are embedded in the everyday life of sufi groups; and how these people use these new tools to transform
Islamic world. Thirdly, through the ethnographic description, I invite the readers to see three forms of embeddedness
of internet everyday: “using” “communicating through internet” and “inculcating internet”. By doing so, we can see
the nuances, the practice and new emergent forms of “global communication” and “new forms of sociality” in which a
religious group place technology of communication and net-world in their faith, in their daily life and in their struggle
to re-spiritualize the Islamic world and challenge the global dominance of wahhabist Islam on the web. I conclude that
we need to come to these different aspects of embeddedness (“using internet”, “communicating through internet”, and
“inculcating internet”) to understand new forms of sociality as well as how religion is experienced in the globalized
world .

Individuals with HIV/AIDS were recruited from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to complete a survey
analyzing the relationship between religiosity and willingness to seek treatment for HIV/AIDS. Willingness to seek
treatment is conceptualized as a three dimensional construct including a patient’s propensity to seek out information
about their illness, be assertive in medical interaction, and nonadhere to medical advice. Hierarchical regression
analysis revealed religiosity to be negatively correlated with nonadherence and positively with seeking out of
information and assertiveness. Significant differences also emerged between the three nations on the dimensions of
willingness to seek treatment.

Abstract Through forty-three in-depth interviews this exploratory study examines how Korean Diaspora in
Washington D.C. area make meaning of civic engagement, use religious social capital in the process of civic
engagement, and identify factors that encourage or inhibit civic activities. The findings reveal that Korean Diaspora
has misunderstanding on the operationalization of the term civic engagement. The findings also reveals that weak
consciousness, lack of ownership, constraints from local church, lack of resources and motivation, as well as language
and cultural barriers influence Korean Diaspora’s civic engagement. The findings extend the current research on civic
engagement of ethnic minorities and provide suggestion for future studies.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Masculinity and nationhood have been an integral part of the Indian cultural industries since the country’s emergence
from colonial rule, but over the past decade, the two have become more prominent and visible in popular culture
narratives. As a result, movies, television, advertising and even newspapers have begun to reflect an “ideal” Indian
male through the depiction of light-skinned men cultivated from Westernized notions of masculinity. The
commodification of this neo-nationalistic , hypermasculine image in India has implications on the notions of what it
means to be a man in India. Moreover, this commodified image adds a political economic dimension to the production
of localized, regionalized, nationalized, and globalized masculinities.

Memory does not exist by itself, nor does it hold a significance if left alone. It has to be connected with social and
political circumstances that recreate its value. This paper looks into the discursive constructions of the past and
collective/cultural memories of the Asia-Pacific War that appeared in three East Asian newspapers from China, South
Korea, and Japan. Using three prominent topics of debate as guided entries to socio-political collective memory, this
paper discusses newspaper representations of the war memories. A critical discourse analysis was employed for
newspaper texts, along with an interpretive policy analysis on policy statements of the three governments. The
analysis showed that the three newspapers were agents of collective memory and they articulated the meanings of
national memory based upon what they believed to be the most appropriate interpretations of their nations’ past.

This paper analyses data from a two-year ethnographic study of two primary school playgrounds in the UK. The focus
of the project was on the relationship between children’s media cultures and their play cultures. Using the notion of
media remixes, this paper focuses on the forms and functions of media referents in playground games. The paper
provides a descriptive categorisation of the forms of media-referenced play, as well as a discussion of specific aspects
of media remixes – performativity, proximity, phantasmagoria and pleasure. The paper includes an analysis of one
episode of play, focusing on the way media referents are functioning in a specific play context. The conclusion argues
that social contexts of children’s remixes are of prime importance when considering the function of media referents in
children’s play.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Research points consistently to the importance of sources in shaping news coverage, yet journalism scholars have
neglected to examine the work of source organizations in much detail. Through a case study of humanitarian and
human rights organizations, I ask what such work looks like in these organizations, why it takes the form it does and
how it relates to news coverage. Against existing notions of an all-encompassing media logic, I suggest NGO work is
structured internally through a tension between stated aims and institutional objectives. This logic corresponds in turn
to two distinct publics for humanitarian and human rights news: a general public addressed as potential donor and an
elite public involved in debating issues. These findings suggest that understanding the role of NGOs in shaping news
coverage is as much about understanding structural affinities between organizations and news outlets as it is about
their direct interaction.

Desensitization, Epidemic of Apprehension, Obfuscation, and Enabling., Lorin Brooke Friley, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

8130. Theorizing Unintended Effects of Health Campaigns
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

To better understand how unintended effects function, reorganization by means of renaming or dichotomization is
necessary to better represent the functionality of each effect. It is proposed that the effect of desensitization (i.e.,
developed apathy) may exist in a dichotomous relationship with another unintended effect -– hypersensitization,
which is described as over-reaction, rather than apathy, to messages due to overexposure. The epidemic of
apprehension effect, which describes unnecessary concern about health issues, appears to be a related outcome to the
effect of hypersensitization, rather than a stand-alone unintended effect. Obfuscation (i.e., confusion and
misunderstanding about health risks and prevention), as an unintended effect appears to function independently from
other effects, but is not clearly defined in terms of functionality. Lastly, enabling (i.e., increasing the power of
individuals/institutions) may also exist in a dichotomous relationship with another unintended effect – disabling,
which indicates a breakdown, rather than augmentation, of power systems.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The “truth-effect” is a well known phenomenon in perceptual psychology. It states that humans tend to ascribe higher
credibility to statements they encounter repeatedly. The study at hand is the first to test the truth-effect in a political
context. Using an experimental design, participants were presented various political slogans as they are found, e.g., in
political campaigns, systematically manipulating the number of repetitions. As expected, we find a positive
association between the number of repetitions and credibility-ratings. However, the effect was limited to individuals
already holding issue-related knowledge. Furthermore, the data suggest an inverted U-shaped relationship between
repetition and credibility: While credibility ratings increase at lower repetition levels, they decrease if the statement is
presented too often.

This article examines the issue of trust in the news media in relation to the conflict reporting concept of Peace
Journalism (PJ). The guiding question of the study is how PJ standards could establish and maintain trust, particularly
for newspaper readers. Trust has been acknowledged across academic disciplines as an important factor of social
capital. In recent years, a decline in trust has been observed on different societal levels. The paper uses a mixed
method approach including content analysis, critical discourse analysis and expert interviews, to analyse regional and
international coverage of the Moldovan anti-communists protests in April 2009. The findings show that the War
Journalism frame was dominant within the newspaper coverage. Factors of trust have been found to differ depending
on the publication and its audience.

Through a survey of 512 inhabitants of the Mexicali Valley (Baja California, Mexico), responses to open questions
were processed using software for textual data analysis, in order to identify social representations of the landscape and
places in the valley. Although a common valuation was found (the landscape as a pretty one), differences were
observed associated to the age group of the interviewee, which leads to conclude that along with a widely accepted
social representation, several other coexist, related to emotional circumstances and interactions established by the
individual with other people in the valley.

Primetime television often provides health information and establishes norms for millions of people in the United
States. (Beck, 2004; Brodie, et al., 2001; Kaiser Family Foundation, 2002; Murphy & Cody, 2003). Television plots
that address reproductive and sexual health warrant close analysis because many people watch these shows and learn
health information and norms about these issues. A content analysis of health-related storylines from the ten most
popular programs in 2009, 2010 and 2011 measured the frequency of reproductive and sexual health issues, as well as
the frames, tones, educational quality, attribution of responsibility and character make-up. Fifty-nine of the 589 health
storylines were about reproductive and sexual health and the most common issues were pregnancy complications.
Reproductive health in general was portrayed as serious, happening to older, white females, and with responsibility
attributed to the individual. These issues were portrayed as partially accurate and moderately educational.

Climate change is increasingly polarized within American politics. Yet, political orientation and climate change
views are not synonymous, and research identifying the characteristics of counter-normative groups—such as
Republicans concerned about climate change—is key to communication strategies to encourage wider acceptance of
science-based views about climate change across the political spectrum. The evidence presented here demonstrates
that there are distinct and reliable predictors of which Republicans are more likely to belief that climate change is
occurring and express support for mitigation policies. While some of these variables (such as religiosity) are
relatively inaccessible to climate change communication campaigns, others (such as belief in a scientific consensus
that climate change is occurring) should likely form the cornerstone of communication efforts. The current study
provides strong guidance on where to begin, and where more research is needed to better understand these
phenomena.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The analysis of media policy usually, and understandably, focuses on visible instances of policy action and noise: of
government intervention, public inquiry, regulatory activity, civil society engagement and corporate pressure. Less
frequently considered, and certainly more difficult to investigate, is the process by which certain issues, frames and
proposals are neglected inside both decision-making structures and broader public debates concerning the shape and
direction of media systems. This paper reflects on conceptual and methodological issues concerning analysis of the
relationship between “industrial activism” and policy silences in relation to contemporary communications policies. It
argues 1) that policy analysts need to look beyond immediate and visible instances of decision-making in the media
field; 2) that analysts should examine the ideological processes of exclusion and marginalization that distort media
policymaking and undermine the emergence of alternative paradigms and policy outcomes and 3) that it is possible to

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Puerto Rican Popular music represents a fertile scenario to understand how racialization emerges on the archipelago.
Music is a space stereotypically assigned to Blacks, and the expression of Blackness within Puerto Rican society.
Music is an appropriate place to study racial identity and conflict as music provides an example of interaction and
confrontation between Black and non-Black Puerto Ricans. This paper explores how the Black Puerto Rican
reggaetón singer La Sista constructs Blackness through her songs, in which she combines rhythms of bomba and salsa
with reggaetón and hip hop. She hails from Loíza, a town in the north of Puerto Rico that is famous for its Afrocentric
traditions, and the largest Black population on the island. How La Sista interprets and represents their Blackness is
examined, and a map is explored about racialization in this Afro Caribbean Diaspora.

8121. Challenging Movies: Cognitive and Affective Complexity, Meaningfulness, and Entertainment Experience
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The vast array of gratifications derived from the consumption of entertainment media has been a central focus of
entertainment scholars. In particular, theories of enjoyment have attempted to explain how viewers attain pleasure,
thrill, and excitement in seeking and experiencing entertainment. Recent scholarship on media enjoyment has shifted
towards understanding audience responses beyond hedonism—tapping into alternative gratifications that involve
greater cognitive activity, such as pondering life’s meaning, truths, and purpose. This presentation highlights the
impact that “meaningful” and cognitively engaging films have on audience responses. Specifically, in an experimental
study we empirically investigate how exposure to content that facilitates reflecting on human life, moral beauty, and
tragedy, is associated with awareness and contemplation of one’s own mortality. Furthermore, we explore the
potential moderating role of significant life events on the relationship between meaningful films and mortality
salience.
Responses to Mediated Representations of Distant Suffering: Research Findings From the UK Public, Shani Orgad,

Presented at the following event:

5540. Suffering, Trauma, and Media Reception
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

One of the most striking deficiencies in the literature on media representation of distant suffering is that arguments
about the impact of this representation are founded almost exclusively on analyses of text and image. The paper
presents preliminary findings from research that seeks to address this shortcoming by providing empirical evidence of
UK public’s responses to mediated messages about distant suffering. It discusses five central areas in relation to
which people articulate, explain, justify and reflect on their responses to mediated messages about distant suffering,
namely: (1) representation of the distant other; (2) representation of the problem of suffering and its proposed
solution; (3) representation of the mediator; (4) the possibility for and nature of action to help alleviate suffering; (5)
perception of the self (the western viewer as ‘benefactor’). The discussion highlights the complex processes of denial
and acknowledgment of suffering in which audiences are engaged. Dr Shani Orgad is Lecturer in Media and
Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK. She writes and teaches on the
representation of suffering, migration, war and conflict in the media. She is particularly interested in how the way
these issues are described is changing, and how they shape how we understand and feel about others and ourselves, in
today’s global age. Dr Orgad explores these issues in her forthcoming book on Media Representation and the Global
Imagination (Polity Press, 2012), and in a research project on Mediated Humanitarian Knowledge: Audiences'
Reactions and Moral Actions, which she co-directs. Dr. Bruna Seu is Senior Lecturer in Psychosocial Studies at
Birkbeck, University of London and a practicing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist for over twenty years. For the last
ten years, she has researched public responses to mediated news of Human Rights abuses, both in the UK and Spain.
With time, these have evolved into an interest in the issues of moral and social responsibility and how these relate to
constructions of self and other in prosocial behaviour. She has published on these subjects in Psychological and
Human Rights journals and is currently completing a book on Bystanders to Human Rights abuses; a psychosocial
investigation.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The concept of cultural imperialism has been thoroughly discredited. Developments over the last decade have,
however, produced a lively debate about imperialism in other disciplines. This paper reviews the theory of cultural
imperialism and its critics. It argues that while the old concept was rightly discredited, a more robust theory is both
viable and increasingly necessary to account for likely major developments in international communication. The
paper attempts to outline a new theory of cultural imperialism that explains contemporary developments while
avoiding the pitfalls that led to the collapse of the earlier version.
Rethinking Localization in the Era of Global Social Media: MySpace and Facebook, Ole J. Mjos, U of Bergen

Presented at the following event:

7137. Tracking New Media Influence in Multiple Cultural Spheres
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Historically, US-originated traditional global media are at the center of discourses on the relationship between the
global and the local. However, between 2005 and 2010, a new media form emerged: global social media. Although
Facebook and MySpace seem to follow conventional patterns of expanding American media, these online services’
localization strategies and features set them apart. Furthermore, the approaches of these services differ and this affects
their ability to expand. While MySpace’s strategies mirrored global television channels’, Facebook’s localization and
personalization efforts are unprecedented. By turning itself into a simultaneously global and local social media,
Facebook outperformed MySpace and local competitors. Therefore, global media has never been so global, but at the
same time never been so local. Paradoxically, then, Facebook’s expansion confirms some of the fears of critical
scholars, but also provides unparalleled media spaces for its users. This challenges aspects of traditional
understandings of the global/local relationship.

7136. Surveillance, Power, and Resistance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

During the last twenty years in the field of media studies, cultural exchange and technology have largely replaced
power and resistance as the sites of analysis, shifting the focus away from ideological transfer and advancing in its
place a preoccupation with audience autonomy and changing configurations of subjectivity. This move, though
important in its recognition of cultural flows, has often operated with an underlying assumption that free markets
dispersed ideological control as economic exchange and technological innovation serve to challenge powerful
institutions by engendering freedom and self-determinism. Ironically, through this changing tide, lost along with the
focus on ideology has been resistance as a serious and salient point of analysis. This paper presents an argument for
why resistance should be resuscitated as an important concept within media studies’ theoretical tool kit by drawing
from lessons in Latin American on media and environmental discourses that reveal the role of cultural resistance.

the Economy as the Most Important Problem, Chance York, Louisiana State U; Bruce William Hardy, Louisiana State
U

Presented at the following event:

8134. Agenda-Building and Agenda-Setting
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Does agenda-setting remain a viable theory in a fragmented media environment? In this paper, agenda-setting was
tested in the context of the 2008 economic recession. Using data from the 2008 National Annenberg Election Study
and the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, the authors investigated the relationship
between news exposure and identifying the economy as the most important problem (MIP) facing the country during
the recession. As predicted by agenda-setting theory, increased exposure to mainstream news related to increases in
identifying the economy as the most important problem during the recession. Moreover, exposure to news across
presentational formats – traditional and online – related to increases in identifying the economy as the most important
problem. The results of this study suggest agenda-setting remains a viable theory and the news a reliable predictor of
public opinion, even in an environment of increasingly abundant and diverse news sources.

5139. Relationship Theory in Public Relations
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper aims at providing conceptual and methodological clarity for future research that seeks to develop a better
understanding of organization-public relationship (OPR) by analyzing the empirical studies published in academic
periodicals from 2000 to early 2011. During this period examined, studies concerning OPR have shown a steadily
increasing trend in terms of the number which have been published. Two main streams of OPR research can be found
which reflect their distinct clusters of authorship and research focuses. One consensus among scholars is that OPR is
multi-dimensional in conceptualization and that it needs a multi-indexed approach for measurement. A clear trend
shows that in the early years of the past decade there was greater focus on scale development whereas in the later
years the greater focus was on scale application. Satisfactory scale reliability and validity are found in most of the
applications of the existing developed OPR measures. The pattern of the application then reveals that the scope has
been increasingly expended and diversified while more specific and distinctively different domains have been
explored. OPR measures have been introduced to various contextual circumstances, such as corporate, non-for-profit,
international, and internet. Another important finding is that 15.8% of the OPR research is conducted in an
international setting, particularly focusing on eastern Asia regions, i.e., Taiwan, China, and South Korea. This study
last consolidates the views and lessons learned from the OPR studies and provide the suggestions for future research.
Revisiting the Association of LMX Quality With Perceived Role Stressors: Evidence for Inverted U Relationships
Among Immigrant Employees, Guowei Jian, Cleveland State U

Presented at the following event:

7241. Speaking of Leadership: Organizational Leadership and Interpersonal Processes
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Although earlier research on leader-member exchange (LMX) theory supported a negative linear relationship between
LMX quality and role stressors, recent studies suggest that a more complex, nonlinear relationship may exist between
LMX quality and variables traditionally associated with it. Based on communication research of LMX and social
exchange theory, the aim of this paper is to revisit the relationship between LMX quality and role stressors by re-
conceptualizing their associations and testing the hypotheses of an inverted U relationship. A survey study among
immigrant employees revealed differential effects of LMX quality on role stressors. In particular, with role conflict
and role overload LMX quality was found to have an inverted U relationship, but a negative linear relationship with
role ambiguity. These findings challenge the prevailing assumptions and carry significant theoretical and practical
implications.

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

In this paper I revisit some difficult areas in health communication. These include miscommunication in health care,
adverse events and the dynamic relationships that exist between patients and health professionals as well as between
interdisciplinary health professionals such as interspecialty doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals. In
order to understand these issues I argue that we need to focus on the intergroup relations that often drive healthcare
interactions. From a social identity theory and communication accommodation theory perspective, health
communication can be viewed as a predominately intergroup phenomenon that occurs at the interpersonal level. The
skills training and procedural guidelines that are offered to health professionals such as Situation, Background,
Assessment and Recommendation (SBAR) are critically important but by themselves they are inadequate if the
cultural. I discuss the cultural environments from which health professionals work, especially in the hospital system,
and consider findings from my own ongoing research

7539. Considering the Role of Organizations as Collective External Rhetors
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper examines rhetorical aspects of corporate identity management practiced by corporations in many parts of
the world as a consequence of the ongoing institutionalization of climate change. Through a case study, we analyze
the rhetoric produced by car producers in Denmark (the three best selling brands in 2009: Peugeot, Ford, and Toyota)
to identify themselves vis-à-vis external key stakeholders. The panel presentation is based on theories stemming from
neoinstitutional organizational studies, especially the Scandinavian research tradition, where organizations are active
“translators” that adopt new rules, norms, and ideas in accordance with their local organizational contexts. We ask
what kind of impact the new external organizational rhetoric may have on the organizations concerned and on society
at large: Do organizations, in the course of time, become what they claim to be?

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study examines the presence of abstract and concrete values in the 2008 presidential front-runner's announcement
speeches. Based on the theory of “premises of agreement” by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca, research questions
examined whether liberal and conservative candidates used appropriate value statements in their speeches. Coding
sheets produced data that were analyzed via a Chi-Square table. Results showed that Obama was the only candidate to
favor the appropriate values in his announcement speech with statistical significance as recommended by Perelman
and Olbrechts-Tyteca. All other candidates either favored values consistent with the opposing party's ideologies or
favored both values equally.

Discourses about media literacy often separate professional and amateur media makers into static, binary categories.
These scholarly and popular discourses tend to idealize professionals and dismiss abilities of amateurs. Yet discourses
of quality appear on video-sharing sites such as YouTube, as participants evaluate their own videos. Using discourse-
based framings such as announcements, apologies, and accounts, uploaders point out aesthetic and technical flaws
with regards to factors such as lighting, white balance, and camera angles. Uploaders use such framings to rhetoricize
or persuade viewers that creators actually possess sets of knowledge and visual literacies that may not be apparent in a
particular execution of a video. Such framings enable video uploaders to display identities of technical competence,
and to attend to viewers’ sensitivities and expectations. These rhetorical strategies challenge the notion that vernacular
video making skills are forever frozen in time, rather than constantly being evaluated and reconsidered by creators.

In this paper we use smartphone log and pop-up survey data to examine how mobile calling and texting varies by the
relational role, specifically: kin, work, school, and friendship roles. The data was collected from a subset of 244
American adults who were Android phone users and who were part of a larger representative panel. The respondents
installed the Communication Explorer smartphone application onto their phones and responded to 30 daily pop-up
questions regarding the role of the individuals with whom they communicated. The application also recorded
anonymized call and text log data for all 244 respondents, which amounted to 463,329 events. Using this combination
of mobile log data and pop-up survey data we examine how mobile communication patterns vary by relational role.

7129. Complementary and Contradictory Patterns in Health Information Seeking
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Sexual assault is an important health risk on college campuses. Actively seeking information about sexual assault
helps college students become aware of and engage in protective behavior. The goal of this study is to identify
antecedents of information seeking behavior with regard to sexual assault including gender, perceived susceptibility,
information efficacy, and availability of sexual assault information sources. Data from an online survey of 393
college students show that perceived susceptibility mediates the effects of gender on information seeking behavior and
that availability of non-parental information sources indirectly affects information seeking behavior via its effect on
information efficacy. Implications are offered for sexual assault prevention campaigns on college campuses.

Several studies have shown that exposure to media violence can cause strong emotional reactions. This is particularly
true for video game violence and anger. Yet, few studies have explored the relationship between video game play and
more complex emotions, such as guilt and shame. Further, no research has yet examined these complex emotions as a
result of exposure to the rich narrative found in role-playing video games. The research experiment presented here (n
= 184) aims to fill this gap in the literature by explaining how the immoral actions of a video game character impact
the player’s feelings of guilt. Specifically, results show that playing as a video game character that has committed
immoral actions caused players to feel guilty and ashamed, especially if they felt transported or “wrapped-up” in the
narrative. Exposure to immoral actions also caused players to show increases in aggressive behavioral tendencies.

7654. Communication and Community Across Space and Time
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

The Russian ethnic community in the U.S. was examined through its press to understand how political identity is
negotiated in conflictual situations. News coverage of eight U.S.-Russian foreign policy controversies was studied in
terms of tone, emphasis, or lack thereof, on the conflict, and attributes assigned to the two countries. Most of the
coverage was neutral in tone. The conflict between the U.S. and Russia was mostly de-emphasized. Attributes
assigned to the two countries were in the middle of the spectrum, avoiding the extremes. These findings suggest that
Russian ethnic media provide a balanced coverage of both their country of origin and the country of adoption, thereby
communicating a hybrid political identity of Russian Americans. The findings also reveal that ethnic press does not
threaten a community’s cultural integration, as some scholars feared.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This ideological critique of tribal laws and policies about photography and other image taking of religious ceremonies
of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona explains how the Hopi people exercise rhetorical sovereignty over visual images about
them by establishing sacred spaces through laws and regulations and resisting cultural hybridity. Also, the Hopi
attempt to exert control over images and ideas in shared spaces, or where tribal and non-tribal cultures co-exist. These
efforts came after misappropriated photographs and other images were put into stolen space by the colonizers. Even
negotiating possible entrance into self spaces, where the Hopi exist apart from others, is difficult for non-Hopi.

Presented at the following event:

5135. Online Political Participation
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper examines the case of Russian Police Major Aleksei Dymovsky, who took the unprecedented step of posting
a video on the Internet in 2009 in which he exposed the corrupt practices of Russian law enforcement officials. When
the video went “viral,” Dymovsky set off a national debate about corruption—but was quickly crushed by the
authorities for whistleblowing. This paper uses the example of the Dymovsky affair to examine the power of
streaming video as a political tool in Russia. It also examines the difference between the underground literature of the
Soviet-era, samizdat, and the new-style video samizdat of the Internet era. The case of Dymovsky also allows us to
judge the power of the Internet to contribute to political communications in contemporary Russia, and provides an
opportunity to test current theories about the power of the Internet as an organizing force.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In the following essay, I contend that China’s 798 arts district in Beijing functions as a form of sanctioned carnival on
a global scale. Drawing on Bakhtin, I argue that three major themes of his notion of carnival are apparent within the
798 arts district—a rigid social system in which transgressive behavior is legalized, the privileging of laughter and the
grotesque, and the constant negotiation between social order and dissent. These three features allow for the release of
pressures felt by the oppressed, but also serve to reinforce the existing hierarchy, offering China an elevated status as
an investor in the culture industries.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper offers a thought experiment on some of the similarities and differences in theological and technological
cultures contextualizing the Mormon Church’s negotiated embrace of social media. It is noted that both open-source
media movements and the Mormon Church—two global institutions run by men and headquartered in the American
frontier—espouse more or less universal missions to save humanity and associated works in part with information and
record-keeping. These and related organizational tensions between hierarchies and peer-to-peer networks, sacred
spaces and the commons (such as family history), public and private life are explored in terms of the contemporary
media scene, public-key cryptography, and digital networks. This approach, however exploratory, looks to shed
insight on attempts to institutionalize and technologically equip movements committed to the promotion of rich public
life, the preservation of information, and the private practices of worship.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Neoliberal doctrine continues without effective cultural challenge, in spite of its obvious contradictions, and is
increasingly integrated into regimes of neoliberal management in the UK via a new funding mechanism that follows
20 years of intense research regulation. Developing critical discourse against the grain of mainstream thought is not
new, but today's academics face a new challenge: to continue to think and motivate themselves as academics with
independent intellectual authority in a system that increasingly denies them this authority. Academics must think in
situations where a research trajectory not already inclined towards the needs of business and the economy is
discouraged, and speak about their research in settings where other discourses are now normalised. They must
increasingly say, that is externalize, the unthinkable, or else lose habits of thinking that are routinely discounted
within their institutions. How can academics support each other in this necessary culture of dissent? Nick Couldry

7320. How We Choose: Factors Affecting Media Selection
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The current study integrates assumptions rooted in affective disposition theories of entertainment with models of
cognitive representation of media to identify the preexisting schemas that media consumers bring with them to their
media experiences and examine the influence of these cognitive models on outcome expectancies and media
enjoyment. Results suggest that perceptions of media characters are organized around two dimensions: morality and
appearance. Moreover, these dimensions are commonly shared among audiences. Finally, these schemas (relatively
consistently) predict both expectations about media narratives and anticipated enjoyment.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Over time, crime-drama TV content has expanded to include paranormal versions of crime solving, including realistic-
looking as well as fictional depictions of psychic detectives. These shows have made police officers and the general
public alike question if paranormal crime-solving techniques are valuable in actual criminal investigations. This study
explored how undergraduate students’ (N = 307) and police officers’ (N = 416) perceptions of the effectiveness of
psychic detection in criminal investigations relate to their paranormal-TV viewing habits. The study found significant
differences between students and law enforcement such that police officers have a more favorable view of psychic
detectives and between viewers and non-viewers of paranormal TV such that viewers for both samples are
significantly more likely than non-viewers to have a favorable attitude toward the effectiveness of psychic detectives.
This was an exploration of the gratifications/cultivation model of media effects and indicated a reciprocal relationship
between television and attitudes.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The study investigated secrecy in romantic relationships and its consequences for personal and relational well-being
through the lens of attachment theory. Participants (n=380) reported on their secret-keeping behaviors, rumination,
and attachment anxiety and avoidance at three time points over nine weeks. Anxiety and avoidance were positively
associated with keeping a secret from a partner, and avoidance was positively associated with the number of secrets
kept. The relationship between avoidance and rumination was partially mediated by perceptions of a partner’s
ownership rights to the secret and feelings of guilt for keeping the secret. Guilt also mediated the relationship
between anxiety and rumination, such that highly anxious participants were more likely to ruminate due to their
greater likelihood of feeling guilty. Finally, results from parallel process latent growth curve analyses revealed that
higher initial levels of anxiety and avoidance predicted higher initial levels of rumination, relational dissatisfaction,
and poorer psychological well-being.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

My paper approaches video games as one of the ideal commodities of digital capitalism precisely because they are
embedded in the ubiquitous intersection internet, consoles and mobile devices. Understanding video games as
software that inscribes and codes subjectivity, I claim how Walter Benjamin’s dialectical approach to technology and
seeing offer alternative ways of integrating technology and video games into classroom and everyday life in order to
create space to educate ourselves – not only youth – for a more inclusive society that might manage to capture the
critical juncture we are going through. Based on ‘playbor’ practices of video game fans where the distinction between
work and leisure is blurred and commodified by the industry, I draw attention to how seeing is appropriated as free
labor. Against this background, I argue that Benjamin’s thought is central for creating a visual materialist pedagogy
with respect to video games.

Better understanding of the specifics of visual and auditory processing allows for better targeting of media, better
reception of media, and better research into media effects both for academics and media professionals. As production
values determine the nature and effectiveness of the media message being received by viewers, clarifying the specific
characteristics of the mechanisms used to create an effect as well as the impact of the mechanism upon the visual
cognition of the message is a necessary first step in analyzing media artifacts. What may prove particularly relevant to
the question of how, precisely, media is seen, is the degree to which incoming data is processed at a pre-conscious
level. Determining the specific cognitive function that must be measured to answer the particular research question
under examination is necessary, as conscious responses, unconscious responses, and behaviorally relevant responses
applicable to society may require very different research protocols.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The present study investigated whether users’ selective exposure to online science articles is influenced by cues
describing the source and the complexity of information and how their selection strategies are affected by personality
characteristics. In an experiment, 60 parents were asked to search for information on a weblog that deals with the
science-related debate of violent media effects on children. Results showed a general tendency to choose expert texts
as well as two-sided rather than one-sided pieces of information. Against expectations, the pattern that users with low
levels of reading skills and low need for cognition avoid complex, two-sided information was not found. Instead, an
interaction effect between expertise and need for cognition showed that especially users with a high need for cognition
selected texts that are connected to expert authors. Implications for the role of the Web as a source of information for
laypersons are discussed.

7235. Choice, Choice, Choice: Understanding Selective Exposure
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The role of selective exposure is examined with regard to the relationship between online news use and political
participation. A sample of non-student American adults (n = 205) participated in a two-session online study that
measured political interest and online news use frequency, unobtrusively captured selective exposure behavior, and
finally measured political participation intentions. News habit and selective exposure to attitude-consistent
information were modeled as sequential mediators between political interest and participation. While political interest
had a positive direct effect on participation, and led to more frequent online news use, a negative relationship between
news habit and selective exposure established that online news use habit ultimately depressed participation through
reduced preference for attitude-consistent news. The findings demonstrate that selective exposure is a fundamental
process that must be considered when testing the effect of Internet use on political participation.

7129. Complementary and Contradictory Patterns in Health Information Seeking
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study investigated how content and context features of headlines drive selective exposure in the context of the
choice between headlines of a monthly email health newsletter in a naturalistic setting. Study participants received a
monthly email newsletter and could freely open it and click any headline to read the accompanying article. A total of
324 headlines, each of which competed with 8 other headlines for selection, appeared in 36 versions of email
newsletters over a period of 9 months. Visual and textual information of the headlines was content-analyzed, and
click-through data on the headlines were collected automatically. The results showed that selective exposure to
headlines increased when the headlines presented efficacy-information in an imperative voice; when they used a
moderate number of negative emotion words; when they displayed negative thumbnail images while mentioning
cancer or other diseases, and when they were placed higher in position.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Game studies as a discipline boasts a strong tradition of using ethnographic methods in the examination of meso- and
macro-level phenomena. But what of applying such sociological theories methods in micro-level investigations? This
paper draws from notions of assemblage and actor-networks to argue for reframing the Player Self as multimodal,
multiplex, and multispatial. From this ground, we propose a model of the Self as a coordinated network of personas
which, themselves, are networks of material and immaterial actors. Finally, identity is reframed as the subjective,
lived experience of that Self-network. This approach stimulates more holistic consideration of the Player Self as it
highlights the potential for non-human entities and immaterial entities to play a role in Self-construction, highlighting
often-silence meanings and relationships that emerge from moments of play.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Normally applied in research on spiral of silence and political participation, self-censorship can have unintended
consequences in other aspects of democratic citizenship. Here, we test the possibility that willingness to self-censor is
related to less frequent discussion through decreased motivation to process information. In other words, for self-
censorers, the costs of cognitively engaging with issues are not offset by the benefits of talking with others. This
mediating effect is particularly noticeable when issues are perceived as relevant for other people, most likely because
self-censorers perceive salience cues as threat cues that their own opinions may differ from the majority. Using a two-
wave panel survey collected during a national referendum campaign, we find evidence of a negative indirect effect of
self-censorship on discussion through motivated information processing, and that judgments of national issue salience
moderate this relationship. Thus, perceptions of the opinion climate, rather than the actual opinion climate, affects
individuals.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Individuals can be personally affected, and motivated to empathize with victims, when viewing television coverage of
natural disasters. This study examined how individuals’ independent and interdependent self-construals influence how
they view and respond to disaster coverage. Our findings demonstrate that interdependent and independent self-
construals exercise significant effects on individuals’ self-reported psychological intrusion and concern for victims.
Additionally, TV viewing motives (i.e., instrumental and ritualized) were found to mediate the relationships between
self-construal and personal responses.

Scholarship: From Micro to Meso to Macro
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Narrative messages aimed at improving health behaviors are becoming increasingly important. One aspect of
understanding such messages is how audiences make judgments about the characters in such stories. This study
attempts to explain the role of empathy toward characters and perceived self-other merging with them in making
attribution and realism judgments about characters in stories about exercise and diet. In an experiment, an empathy
manipulation increased participants’ perceived self-other merging with the characters in narratives for positive
situations (characters’ healthy lifestyles) but not for negative situations (characters’ unhealthy lifestyles). The
empathy manipulation had little effect on attribution and realism judgments; however, as participants’ perceived self-
other merging with characters increased, realism judgments relative to the self also increased. The theoretical
implications of the difference between empathy and self-other merging, different processes of making realism
judgments for self and others, and attribution judgments are discussed.

5220. Rethinking the Audience in the Digital Age: Perspectives on the News, Entertainment, and Marketing Industries
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

A consortium of data-collection firms and publishers have responded to various social complaints about audience
tracking on the web by developing an icon for web advertisements that alerts people when an ad is based on tracking,
explains the process, and allows opting out from the activity. Using social constructionist and issue-framing
perspectives, I show how the digital-marketing industry has been using this self-regulation to exploit the complexity of
an arena which the public, advocates and lawmakers do not understand well. My argument is that industry leaders are
using their asymmetrical knowledge about marketing technologies to obscure certain industry activities and keep
understanding of the new advertising ecosystem low. Their actions allow them to frame “audience harms” in ways
that provide the digital marketing and media executives much greater power to guide the future of the new-media
terrain than if regulators and the public had greater control of the issue’s definition.

External organizational discourse can have effects on society through the policies it helps to create or the policies it
helps to defeat. One type of external discourse that shapes policies is corporate efforts to create self-regulation and to
prevent governmental regulation. This paper and panel discussion explores the use of self- regulatory discourse
designed to end public interest in an issue, thereby creating quiescence. The key question resulting from this
discussion is whether self-regulatory claims benefit business and society, or merely business.

The paper draws on a range of empirical data collected during the years 2003-2010 (see Enli and Thumim 2009;
Thumim forthcoming, 2012; Thumim 2010; Thumim 2009; Thumim 2009a; Thumim 2008) to elaborate two
propositions. Firstly I argue that because of the ubiquity of self-representation across a range of settings we should
now think in terms of a genre of self-representation, and secondly that there are myriad differences in what kinds of
work different examples of this genre seem to be doing in contemporary digital culture. I suggest that analysing three
dimensions of mediation processes (institutional, textual and cultural) enables us to decipher the value, and therefore
the politics, at stake in diverse examples of the genre of textual mediation - which may appear alike at the textual
level.
Selling Bodies and Bodies for Sale: Commercial Representations of Women in Postsocialist Media, Nadia Kaneva, U

Presented at the following event:

5542. Mediating Postsocialist Femininities
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Socialist media in the former Soviet Bloc commonly disseminated an ideologically motivated image of woman as “the
socialist Amazon” – a woman-android, whose body was conscripted for the purposes of socialist production and was
stripped of sexuality and sensuality. Post-socialist media in the region produced starkly contrasting representations,
where the female body was depicted as an object of sexual desire that could be employed to serve various commercial
interests. This reinterpretation of femininity goes beyond the promotion of fashion, cosmetics, and impossible
standards of beauty to suggest that the best avenue for women to attain social power is through exploiting their
physical attributes. This paper examines visual representations of the female body in commercial messages from post-
socialist media. The analysis discusses reasons for and implications of the rapid commodification of women’s bodies
and draws conclusions about the significance of these developments for local and global feminisms in the era of
consumerism.

Presented at the following event:

8132. Media Preferences and Performances
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

When adolescents use digital media, not all content is deemed appropriate. One type of problematic content are Happy
Slapping (HS) videos, filmed acts of real-life violence that is distributed online or through mobile phones. The aim of
this study is to investigate potential explanatory factors for the use of HS videos among adolescents. We saw HS
video use being rooted in personality traits such as empathy and sensation seeking. A survey with German adolescents
(N = 125) aged 13 to 20 years was conducted. We employed a quota for educational level. Results show that
sensation-seekers watch HS videos more frequently than non-sensation-seekers. A gender- and education-specific
distribution in the use of HS videos could be observed. However, these effects disappeared when psychological trait
variables are accounted for. Results suggest that low empathy for the victims and high levels of sensation seeking lead
to HS videos use. Implications for media education practitioners are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The rise of online Apple Action News (AAN) is a spectacular media phenomenon. Its video news stories largely
employ revolutionarily flamboyant production styles and outstanding storytelling techniques. Despite criticisms of
sensationalism and animated reconstruction of sex and violence scenes, AAN is popular with millions of hit rates for
just one single news item. This exploratory study examined the growing trend of online sensational news and
incorporated a new dimension of affordance in addition to traditional U&G sources of gratifications. Affordance is
found to be a strong predictor of medium use and perceived credibility, indicating that new gratifications could be
driven by new technology. Described by some as “Maybe journalism”, AAN is violating, revolutionizing and even
redefining the very idea of news.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The so-called “social Web,” including Twitter, Facebook (and other social networking sites), and Blogs, generate a
rich pool of data for marketers seeking techniques for gauging public reaction to events, products, brands, and
political candidates. Sprouting up alongside the storied success of new platforms for socialization and conversation
are companies seeking to exploit the information they generate for commercial purposes by measuring the
“sentiments” conveyed upon them in real time. Drawing on Patricia Clough’s analysis of the displacement of
ideological manipulation by the “modulation of affect,” this paper examines the rise of so-called sentiment analysis as
part of the commercial infrastructure of Web 2.0. It explores what marketers think they are measuring and the claims
they make on behalf of their findings. It concludes with a discussion of the way in which the correlational logic of
sentiment addresses the impasse of representation in an era of data overload.

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Sequencing is an indispensable decision-making process during information flow. This paper proposes the
conceptualization of sequencing to understand how and why information senders prioritize some network members
when they communicate with others in a networked organization. I propose a sender-centred perspective by asking:
(1) how do people arrange the order of their contacts? (2) Which medium do they use to contact network members?
(3) How do network structure influence their decision? To answer these questions, I examine the research
collaboration in a networked organization: the GRAND Network Centre of Excellence in Canada. This study adopts
mixed methods, combining Social Network Analysis (SNA) and qualitative methods in order to examine the structure
of communication networks in GRAND and the relationships between network structure and media use. Preliminary
findings show (1) hierarchical position in the networks shapes sequencing process; (2) centrality in networks shapes
media use.

This presentation brings together international relations, comparative politics and mass communication perspectives
for a comparative study of the role that the mass media play in the public debate over governing immigration at the
southern borders of the United States and the European Union. In the wake of major social unrest in Europe and North
Africa, and massive transatlantic economic disruptions, discourses of securitization and the “clash of civilizations”
have come to dominate public discussion of immigration. By comparing narratives emerging from coverage of
Arizona’s SB1070 legislation with that of France and Italy’s dispute over Tunisian and Libyan immigrants, the
presentation argues that media discourse of immigration policies has tended to focus on the security both of physical
borders and the shared identity of nations, narrowing the range of possible approaches to widely contested governance
processes.

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper addresses the methodological challenges of comparative studies of sexual cultures. My project considers
the global flows of sexual artifacts, images, and discourses through sex museums. Western sex museums exhibit items
from non-Western regions; sex museums in East Asia draw from Western sources for benchmarks of healthy
sexuality. Sexuality research intensifies issues pertinent to qualitative research generally; sexual topics present
challenges in the archive, in interviews, in participant observation, and in ethics. Comparative sexuality research also
shares challenges with other cross-cultural studies, including how to take an emic perspective and how to work
collaboratively in multi-researcher contexts. But cross-cultural approaches must also attend to a history of Western
deployment of sexuality that has legitimated global operations of power: tendencies to see sex as a non-Western
culture’s heart of darkness, as the key that unlocks the secrets of a culture, and as the comparative case that validates
Western sexualities.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

The sexualization of popular culture in Eastern Europe is an undisputable fact, frequently and somewhat simplistically
associated with the end of censorship and the influx of Western media. Borenstein (2008) notes that sexualization has
become normalized, “to the extent that it… has expanded to encompass nearly all aspects of cultural life” (p. 54),
including politics. Feminist media scholars have argued that women in politics receive a markedly different treatment
from their male counterparts, with their physical appearance, marital status, and assumed feminine drawbacks being
stressed at the expense of their political qualifications. Eastern European media have pushed the envelope even
further, discrediting female politicians by reporting on their fashion choices, styling tips, dating habits, and sexual
behavior. By studying examples of the coverage of female politicians in Eastern Europe, this paper examines the
relationship between the broader “pornification” of media culture and the “sexualization of politics” in post-socialist
countries.

8138. Consumption Technologies: Motherhood to Masculinity
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This work-in-progress examines the highly popular practice of internet-based ‘sex chatting’ and through it, attempts to
theorize the rapidly changing forms, norms, and values of sex as a result of the digital revolution. Internet-based ‘sex
chat’ refers to the casual exchange of vernacular views about sexual beliefs, rumours and behavior. Sociological,
popular culture, and gender studies have suggested that internet-based social chatting about sex is an informal social
practice pursued mainly by men, and as such, the chat room or forum is considered a space for the ongoing
construction of particular modes of masculinity. This study is grounded in a detailed empirical study of three highly
popular internet chat sites in Hong Kong, a city known to have a vibrant culture of internet forum chatting, and hopes
to reframe our theoretical and political understanding of sexual values shaped by a profoundly quotidient source of
meaning-making.

To date, there are few studies examining adolescents’ sexting practices, and even fewer on their mobile porn use. The
existing research suggests, however, that - although these behaviors may be risky – they are not confined to the typical
youth-at-risk. On the contrary, both sexting and mobile porn use appear relatively common practices of sexual
exploration within today’s youth culture. Interestingly, sexting and mobile porn use appear to be strongly interwoven
with the dynamics of the wider peer network. Although sexting happens mostly within the boundaries of a (desired)
romantic relationship, adolescents are aware that these sexual images are often shared and exchanged with other
peers. Likewise, adolescents’ mobile porn consumption appears to revolve more around the process of sharing and
exchanging this quasi-illicit content, than around the content itself. The importance of sharing and exchanging sexual
imagery has lead Bond to compare the mobile phone to what the ‘bike shed’ was for previous generations: a (virtual)
space in which adolescents explore their developing sexualities by disclosing, sharing and exchanging sexual contents
with their peers. Sexting and mobile porn use appear normative behaviors of the mobile youth culture, with which
adolescents demonstrate their social and cultural competence. There is pressure to conform to these behaviors in order
to achieve peer acceptance, and provide evidence that both sexting and mobile porn are ‘used’ to display and gain
status in the peer group. The study presented in this paper examines both sexting and mobile porn use in relation to
adolescents’ same-sex and other-sex popularity, their need for popularity and the pressure they perceive from their
peers in a quantitative survey study among 1943 Flemish adolescents. In total, 6.3% of the adolescents in our sample
reported having ever used their mobile phone to send a (semi-)naked picture of themselves to someone. The use of
mobile porn was somewhat more prevalent, with 8.7% of adolescents reporting having pornographic pictures or video
content on their mobile phone. Sexting and the use of mobile porn were strongly related to one another. The findings
of our study largely confirm sexting and mobile porn use as activities that take place within the broader peer group,
and, consequently, are intertwined with peer group dynamics. Adolescents’ popularity, their desire for popularity and
their experience of peer pressure all predicted sexting behavior and/or mobile porn use. Differential patterns were
found, however, both between and within sexting behaviors and mobile porn use, and between boys and girls. The
findings of our study thus support Bond’s metaphor of the mobile phone as a virtual bike shed. Given the affordances
of mobile technology, we need to examine what these kinds of virtual spaces imply for our previous understandings of
risk, privacy, trust and belonging, particularly in the light of the convergence of mobile technology with the Internet.

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

From the overtly hypersexualized worlds of soft-core video production to the covertly but sexually-coded worlds of
reality television production, sexual identities and performances are central to media production cultures. My
ethnographic research in media production considers how sexuality structures field sites, relationships, and
participation, where sexual disclosure has been a common feature of my fieldwork experiences. Gatekeeping and
access are complicated by subjects’ notions of the value judgments that the researcher will implicitly make in
assessing a production culture. How I looked, talked, and moved physically in the spaces I shared with field subjects
shaped the field itself by defining the participants and shaping their relations. Drawing from the theoretical
contributions of Molly Rothenberg (The Excessive Subject, Polity, 2010), I consider specific moments in my
fieldwork with soft-core videographers from 2004-2007 and the ways these moments shaped the construction of the
ethnographic field.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This study investigates the role of information processing in men’s sexual responses to same- and opposite-sex erotic
stimuli. Barlow’s working model of sexual function (1986) is used to hypothesize that differences in how heterosexual
and homosexual men respond to same- versus opposite-sex stimuli may result from differences in their affective and
attentional reactions. The impact of attention on such responses is tested using a novel method that allows researchers
to simultaneously assess and manipulate visual attention. Consistent with previous research, these findings support
“category specificity” in men’s sexual arousal, by revealing stronger sexual responses to orientation-congruent
stimuli. Homosexual men manifested stronger sexual arousal when their attention was directed towards orientation-
incongruent sexual content. Overall, all subjects had stronger sexual responses to conditions in which their attention
was directed to sexual content. Yet, heterosexual men experienced weaker positive and stronger negative responses to
orientation-incongruent content, suggestive of potential avoidance or inhibitory mechanisms.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This study (n= 558; Mean age= 15.6, SD=1.49) investigated how exposure to sexually objectifying music television,
primetime television programs, fashion magazines and social networking sites is related to the internalization of
beauty ideals, self-objectification and body surveillance among adolescent girls. Structural equation models for each
type of sexually objectifying media showed direct relationships between sexually objectifying media and the
internalization of beauty ideals and indirect relationships between sexually objectifying media and self-objectification
and body surveillance through the internalization of beauty ideals. The direct relationships between sexually
objectifying media and self-objectification and between sexually objectifying media and body surveillance differed
across the types of sexually objectifying media. The discussion focuses on the implications of these findings to
explain self-objectification among girls.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

There are few spaces for obese and overweight Americans to articulate and negotiate the stigma attached to fat bodies.
Weight loss blogs serve as public forums in which bloggers demonstrate an understanding of the social stigma
currently attached to excess weight. Americans have long considered fat as problematic. In the late nineteenth
century, a stigma of danger was attached to obese bodies and fat people were considered a danger to themselves and
others. Fat bodies were urged to seek treatment and a capitalistic opportunity emerged for medical and lay
practitioners. Medical and lay intervention now intertwine in the weight loss experience, even in personal blogs meant
to document the weight loss experience. This study conducts a link analysis in order to understand how consumer
products are connected to personal weight loss blogs and how the stigma of fat is constructed by consumer products
and articulated in personal spaces.

On May 15, 2011, following his arrest on sexual assault charges, IMF chief and French Presidential contender,
Dominique Strauss-Kahn is forced to do the “perp walk” in New York. The French press blamed this practice for
being humiliating and for violating the presumption of innocence. The American press reacted either by
acknowledging the problems raised by perp walks or by defending this practice and blaming the French media and
society for hushing up scandals when it comes to politicians and sexuality. Theories suggest that media shaming
rituals, such as perp walks, serve to “reinforce extant boundaries and legitimate the dominant social order” (Cavender,
Gray and Miller, 2010). However, based on framing analysis of French and American newspaper articles, we ask if, in
the age of globalized information, the mediatization of DSK’s perp walk outside the national community that
produced this ritual generated forms of “estrangement” (Orgad, 2011) and self-questioning.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Shanzhai (山寨) is a new mode of production that has evolved into a distinctive Chinese phenomenon marked by low
prices, innovative appropriations, and locally customized designs. Shanzhai cell phones (山寨機) offer numerous
productive possibilities relative to conventional design strategies, but may be perceived as having a significant impact
on intellectual property rights (IPR). This paper addresses the disparity between IPR legislation and enforcement in
China. It reviews the progress that China has made on IPR protection to date, and then lays out the reasons for the said
disparity. It goes on to consider whether China’s IPR protection is satisfactory. If the answer is negative, then what
does the gap between expectation and reality imply? Can a balance between the two be arrived at? The paper
concludes with a discussion of the significance of the shanzhai culture and its possible future impact on China’s IPR.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Online support group participation is beneficial for psychological and physical wellbeing, but little is known about the
processes that bring about such positive changes. The present study tests the effects of two key-elements in forum use:
(1) expressive writing and (2) the interactive aspect; responses from peers. Hypotheses were tested in a 2 (Writing
style: cognitive reappraisal vs. emotional disclosure) x 3 (Response type: cognitive reappraisal vs. socio-affective vs.
no response) factorial design among 117 participants. Results showed that receiving a cognitive reappraisal response,
rather than a socio-affective response or no response, decreased negative emotions and symptom reporting in the
emotional disclosure writing group and had no effects in the cognitive reappraisal writing group. Cognitive reappraisal
responses in support groups may be most effective because they provide a positive way out of negative emotions.

7128. New Theories for Participatory Journalism
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In 1978, Gaye Tuchman encouraged sociologists and media scholars to consider journalism as a system of knowledge.
In this paper, I take up her challenge with an eye toward online news. I begin by arguing that much of the classic
sociological research in communication that examines journalistic practices, coming as it does from decades when the
influence of mass media was at its height, has tended to focus on the manner in which journalists serve as gatekeepers,
limiting public access to information. I assert that today, in the digital age, journalists are much more explicitly
embedded in—and reliant on—an online information ecosystem in which many other systems of knowledge coexist
and circulate information alongside the news media. I argue media researchers would therefore do well to implement
insights from science studies, where scholars have developed tools for examining how systems of knowledge are
constructed and how they interact.
Shifting Access to the Best Health Care by the Numbers: Making Numeracy an Integral Part of Health Literacy,

Presented at the following event:

7330. Health Literacy and Health Information Processing: Connecting Knowledge to Community Action
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Health communication researchers have already long recognized the importance of health literacy to make informed
health care decisions. Now many researchers also recognize that an understanding of numerical concepts is an
important aspect of health literacy. However, most health literacy assessment instruments mainly focus on just the
comprehension aspect, or only include a very limited numeracy component that doesn’t really address the numeracy
skills needed in the health care system. In this paper, I provide a thorough examination of what numeracy is (and how
it relates to health literacy), explain how it has been measured in the past and what needs to be measured in a future
health literacy instrument for a more informative assessment, and provide a detailed overview of the impact of
innumeracy on health communication in different settings.

5131. The Culture of Discourse About Nature
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Developing countries like India are increasingly under pressure to sign a binding emissions treaty to avert catastrophic
climatic change. However, developing countries have argued that any international agreement should be based on
historic responsibility, and per-capita emissions, with developed countries taking the primary responsibility to
mitigate, and fund adaptation measures in other countries. Recently, India has shifted its position in international
negotiations to indicate it may be willing to sign binding mitigation agreement in future, and domestically renewed its
commitment to renewable energy through the Prime Minister’s eight National Action Plans, and establishing Indian
Network for Climate Change Assessment. This grounded theory study investigated the evolution of climate change
discourse in India by analyzing 25 interviews of Indian climate policy elites, including scientists, energy policy
experts, top government officials, and other NGO organizational members working actively in the field. Our analysis
suggests that India’s increasing vulnerability to climate change, taken together with concerns about domestic energy
security, and the international aspirations of Indian government, have set the stage for a substantial shift in Indian
climate change discourse, with broader implications for environmental governance, and sustainable development
imperative. Keywords: Climate change; India; grounded theory; policy discourse; sustainable development

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study surveyed U.S. journalists (N=228) to ascertain their understanding of objectivity and transparency as
journalistic truth telling strategies. The aim of this research was to examine a shift in journalistic capital from
objectivity toward a more transparency normative framework of the journalism field. Results showed that forces
unleashed by the online network might be creating pre-paradigmatic conflict in the journalism field. Moreover,
support was found for secondary principles divisions (such as gender), which indicate potential lines of division
within the field of journalism in terms of how journalists embrace objectivity and transparency as truth-telling
strategies.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

An experiment showed that audiences react with more empathy to graphic war photographs accompanying news
reports than non-graphic war photographs. Four war stories from four different countries, featuring either a graphic or
non-graphic photograph representing a scene from each report, were used to test respondents’ reactions. Empathy
measured higher after audience exposure to graphic war photographs, while recall, central processing, emotion, media
attitudes, and civic participation all did not show significant differences between the graphic and non-graphic
conditions. As a result of this study, editors and news organizations can expect that audiences may not react with a
significant amount of emotion, but will still care significantly more about an issue after being presented with graphic
news photographs of war with war reports, as opposed to non-graphic photographs of war.

7528. Iconic Representation: Media Images that Discipline Social Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The discussions about the presentation of death images and the journalistic practice in relation to this issue teaches
that death images are perceived differently from other news images and they are subject to a fierce debate. The
coverage of death events can facilitate social cohesion, yet it can evoke social tensions and expose the fragility of
society. Hence, the ways death images are utilized by the media is significant in the construction of meaning and
solidarity. Accordingly, studying the representation of death, enhances the understanding of the power relations in
society. This paper studies the coverage of two similar death cases, and analyses the different ways they were covered
by the Israeli media in images and language. The analysis demonstrates the different regulation of death imagery in
Israeli press and the different regimes of pity they carry, in a way that demarks boundaries of care and boundaries of
the community.
Short, Vague and Generally Unhelpful: A Content Analysis of Sexual Harassment Policies in the Codes of Conduct of
Top American Companies, Will Nevin, U of Alabama; Lu Tang, U of Alabama

Presented at the following event:

5338. Unmasking the Hidden and Suppressed Through Organizational Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Sexual harassment is a serious problem that plagues the workplace in the United States as well as the rest of the
world. Most of the existing studies on sexual harassment from an organizational communication perspective have
been interpretive and critical case studies conducted in the non-profit setting. This paper presents one of the first
systematic empirical studies of the sexual harassment policies of leading American corporations. A content analysis of
the Codes of Conducts on the corporate websites of top Fortune 100 American companies shows that these leading
American companies are doing an inadequate job in terms of communicating their sexual harassment policies to their
employees through employee’s Code of Conduct as an official organizational communication channel. In fact, their
official communication on the subject of sexual harassment is often short, vague, and generally unhelpful.
Implications of the findings are discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This study examines a complex dynamics of the international software piracy problem by focusing on the size of
revenue losses made from pirated software. Although there have been a considerable number of cross-national studies
on software piracy, there is a widespread but incorrect perception in the policy and academic landscape that
ineffective copyright protection of computer software is prevalent mostly in less developed countries with low-
income, ineffective legal systems and collectivist culture. By using the estimated value of sales loss due to piracy as
an alternative indicator, this study empirically disproves the conventional understanding of the piracy problem. Our
empirical investigation of the impact of various national factors on the per capita value of pirated software confirmed
that the present piracy phenomenon in the international market is complex and multi-faceted, involving multiple
factors within a nation’s economic, technological and industry-specific capabilities.
Show Them A Good Time: Classed Masculine (Hetero)Sexuality and the Discursive Construction of Violent Risk,

Presented at the following event:

5338. Unmasking the Hidden and Suppressed Through Organizational Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

In the early 2000’s, seven female students at The University of Colorado (CU) brought allegations of rape and sexual
assault against CU football players and recruits. Given a close reading of various documents associated with these
cases, I argue that the CU football program sold recruits access to a classed heterosexual masculinity, and that in so
doing, the program established conditions under which, according to some theorists of organization, violence is likely.
Further, I argue that in subsequent legal proceedings, understandings of organizations as both geographically bounded
and public were used to suggest that the cases could be understood as individual episodes of violence, not an
institutional problem. Further, the legal proceedings overlooked the role of organizational discourses in establishing
normative behavior. My analysis of the discourse surrounding these cases moves toward an intersectional,
organizational account of sexual violence.

5127. Implications of Changing Narratives in Television News
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This project uses qualitative textual analysis and quantitative content analysis to compare news videos posted to the
web by television organizations with those of posted by newspaper organizations. Video is one of the fastest-growing
components to the World Wide Web, whether in entertainment, advertising or news. This project found that
newspaper organizations are producing and posting videos in a wide array of formats. Unlike television news, which
has a presentational style dating back to the early 20th century, newspaper websites are improvising their styles.
Some videos use voiced narratives, others do not. Some are composed with multiple, complicated editing, others are
merely one long shot with natural sound. The different styles reflect the varied norms of production and institutional
demands connected with print and broadcast journalism. Finally, this project explores the implications of this
difference for the audience and the normative goals of journalism.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Studies show that listening is an important element of supportive communication in interpersonal relationships.
Listening thus plays a role beyond mere comprehension of verbal and nonverbal support-seeking messages. In fact, the
act of listening in quietude was proven to be a meaningful way to provide support among the Finnish people. The
message-centered approach to effective supportive communication has made significant contributions to the theory.
However, individuals in different cultures vary in their evaluations of verbal messages in comforting communication.
This presentation will address silence, listening, and nonverbal involvement in supportive interactions. The aim is to
shed light on the influence culture can have on preferred approaches to social support. Culturally meaningful and
appropriate ways to seek, provide and receive support will be discussed in addition to suggestions for furthering
supportive communication research.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In this project, I adopt thesis of media imperialism and neo-liberal imperialism to examine the entire Chinese TV
industry by focusing on three leading networks – Phoenix TV, Hunan TV, and China Central Television(CCTV). The
purpose of this project is to discover how the Chinese TV industry as a whole has balanced between global neo-
liberalism and party control, as well as to examine what role the general trend of neo-liberal globalization and the
Party control of the media intertwine in the Chinese TV industry, and what this intertwining means to the Chinese
society. Through in-depth analysis of three TV stations’ programming strategies and strategies to gain commercial
revenues, I find with respect to program content, Phoenix’s emphasis is on international news, infotainment, and elite-
oriented programs. CCTV, as the ideological apparatus of the Party, carries a plethora of propagandist content. Hunan
TV’s main task is entertaining people. However, with the marketization of the entire Chinese TV industry, the West-
rooted neo-liberal commercialization is very evident in each of these three networks.
Situational and Relational Factors Affecting Conflict Styles of the Japanese, Satoshi Moriizumi, Nanzan Junior
College

Presented at the following event:

5552. Conflict? What Conflict? Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Japanese Conflict Communication Strategies
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

For the Japanese, two of the most crucial elements in determining what conflict styles on adopts may well be
situational and relational features, this being due to interdependence between partners in their communication
behavior. Theoretically, situational features have been the most significant contribution of Ting-Toomey’s face
negotiation theory (FNT). Ting-Toomey and Takai (2006) added situation appraisal and relational features to the FNT
model. This presentation examines the relationships between conflict styles, and situational and relational features
such as relational closeness, relative status differences, and ingroup-outgroup distinctions, based on FNT. After
reading a scenario that controls for the relational target, participants reported on actual verbal responses they might
use toward the partner in the hypothesized situations, and gave ratings on the interpersonal conflict scale. Results
revealed that Japanese alter conflict styles and messages depending on the relational target, as well as the conflict
situation. This implies that relational and situational variations contribute highly to variations in the conflict behavior
of Japanese, and that there is no prevalent conflict style which characterize them.

Presented at the following event:

7234. Extended Session: What Do We (Really) Know About Online Political Participation?
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Social media have come to form an inherent part of most activist campaigns today. Yet, their potential to foster
political participation and mobilization remains debated. While cyber-utopians insist on the positive contribution of
social online-activism to participatory democracy, supporters of the "slactivism” argument dismiss it as a hedonist
activity that carries little societal benefit. Our analysis of the Brazilian anti-corruption campaign Ficha Limpa picks up
on this debate. We present original survey data concerning citizens’ use of social media and their offline participation
in the context of this campaign. Using a binary logit model that estimates the relation between the use of different
communication features supported by social media and contacting elected officials, we show that online activities
involving relatively high transaction costs in terms of time and effort contribute more positively toward offline
participation than simple single-click activities. Our findings indicate that the choice of appropriate social media
formats may be a decisive element for the success of campaigners who seek to mobilize citizens via the Internet.

7154. Uncertainty and Community in the Context of Disasters
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Community-wide asbestos exposure in Libby, Montana, created what EPA called the worst environmental disaster in
US history. Seven years after declaring Libby a superfund site, EPA made their first-ever declaration of a public
health emergency in Libby based on the prevalence of asbestos-related diseases and hundreds of deaths. Slow-motion
technological disasters (SMTDs) like Libby are characterized by uncertainty from questioning the existence of a
disaster forward. With a diluted onset, uncertain duration and potential effects of exposure on health and efficacy of
clean-up efforts, communities experiencing SMTDs inevitably must live with numerous significant uncertainties
across generations. The Libby case illustrates important ways that communities attempt to manage uncertainty
surrounding an ongoing disaster with an uncertain endpoint. The long-term nature of SMTDs requires communities to
develop their own inherent resources and support systems to cope with health and risk uncertainties related to the
disaster.

This study of consumer reviews of smoking cessation products on retail websites is based on social cognitive theory.
Product reviews were mostly positive (74.0%). Product quality valence and personal experience were related to
overall review valence, but price valence was not. Three types of support were offered: advice, empowerment, and
referral, and 39.8% of reviews included support. Findings suggest that consumer reviews of health products may be
useful venues for disseminating health-related messages.
Snooping Delight? The Effects of Judge Mood on Deception Detection Accuracy, David D. Clare, Michigan State U;

Presented at the following event:

5351. Disclosures and Deception
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Some persuasion research claims that receivers in negatively valenced moods process messages more centrally.
Deception researchers have applied this reasoning to deception detection accuracy, claiming that judges in negatively
valenced moods are more accurate in detecting deception (Householder & Wong, 2011). Theoretically however, that
hypothesis presumes that central processing increases accuracy. Householder and Wong (2011) presented an
experiment supporting their hypothesis. That experiment’s inductions may have confounded judge state suspicion
with mood and the measurement of deception detection accuracy left the hypothesis inadequately tested. The present
experiment replicated that study with modifications to assess the mood-suspicion confound and to better measure
accuracy. Results show the inductions did confound mood valence with suspicion and that once measured suspicion
is accounted for, that Householder and Wong’s findings do not replicate. Unexpectedly, a ‘snooping delight’ effect
was observed wherein judges in happier mood states were more lie biased. Concerns with using content-laden
inductions are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Social network sites have grown rapidly in recent years and have quickly and deeply penetrated its users’ everyday
life. Yet little is known about the balance between social capital benefits and privacy concerns on SNSs and only few
researches examined how cultural differences impact the way people use SNSs. Through qualitative approach, this
paper tries to explore how cultural differences exert pronounced influence on American and Chinese users’ ways of
gaining social capital on and privacy concerns of SNSs. The results show that Chinese users maintained a higher level
of strong ties on SNSs, which contribute to bonding social capital than American users while American users
maintained a higher level of weak ties on SNSs, which contribute to bridging social capital. Chinese users are more
likely to disclosure content on SNS than American users.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The study explores the role of social capital in the spiral of silence process, and investigates whether (1) social capital
is associated with willingness to express opinions, (2) social capital is associated with the perception that others
support one’s opinions, and (3) perceived support for one’s opinions mediates the proposed relationship between
social capital and willingness to express opinions. Three indicators of social capital were analyzed—civic
engagement, trust, and neighborliness. Results of a representative survey conducted on Guam showed that civic
engagement had a direct effect on willingness to express opinions. Neighborliness and trust had direct positive effects
on perceived support for one’s opinions, which in turn, was positively related to willingness to express opinions.
Implications were discussed.

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This study examines the relationship between social motivations, pro-social outcomes, and two different types of
online game use—habitual and compulsive—in the context of simulation games on Facebook. Results showed that
social motivations can be a double-edged sword: social motivations predicted compulsive use, but not habitual use,
and also increased the likelihood of increased positive interpersonal relationships. Frequency of play, not time, was
associated with compulsive use. The number of Facebook friends showed a U-shaped curvilinear relationship to
compulsive use. Compulsive use was a positive predictor of pro-social outcomes, but this was mainly due to social
motivations driving compulsive use.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The focus in the paper is on the role of audience communities in distributing content produced by media companies.
The online environment and the tools provided by the legacy media and the social media services enable the effortless
sharing of such media content that people find relevant, funny or interesting enough to be worth for also others to
read, listen or watch. The paper contributes in particular to audience studies by examining media content consumption
as a shared social and communal experience. In pursuing this goal, social curation is used as an overarching
framework. The main question is concerned on how the role of the participatory audience is conceived in media
companies. Results from a qualitative study among the personnel of a Nordic newspaper indicate that the active
audience is valued especially as a means for distribution of content.

Presented at the following event:

5231. Extended Session: Media Policy Meets Media Studies: Intersecting Histories
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

The postwar 1940s saw the brief ascendance of a strong social democratic approach to media. In response to a
journalism crisis with some similarities to the one we are facing today, progressive policymakers sought to lessen
profit pressures on key parts of the U.S. news media. They assumed that crucial public services should not be left
entirely to market-driven forces and they attempted to put into place safeguards to protect and sustain news media. An
examination of the conflicting narratives and logics within postwar policy debates suggests that the U.S. did not go
down this path largely because of a concerted backlash—often in the form of red-baiting—organized by threatened
newspaper and broadcast industries. The settlement that emerged was based largely on a corporate consensus and in
some cases the suppression of popular will, not a citizen uprising against governmental overreach.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

As any type of an institutional talk, mediation talk carries some expectations about lexical choice, turn design,
sequence organization, overall structural organization of the interaction, and social epistemology and social relations.
The present study shows how social epistemology and social relations dimension is revealed in mediation talk in the
interactional asymmetries and the ways of reasoning. An existing collection of 18 transcripts from audio recordings of
mediation sessions at a mediation center in the western United States serves as a source of interactional data. The
focus of analysis was on references participants make, the way their contributions are framed, topics they raise,
dialogue activities they initiate and things that get picked up and dropped in the course of discussion.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

A social exclusion and digital divide framework is applied to understanding the influences on and relations among
awareness, adoption, and (frequent) use of the Internet in three former Soviet republics facing different challenges,
mostly related to poor economic conditions. Survey data from nationally representative samples in each country fit a
model predicting that age, economic condition, education and urban/rural region all generally influence each of the
three Internet stages, with a few factors disappearing as significant in subsequent stages. Thus, in countries with poor
economic conditions, Internet digital divides may occur at several stages, all susceptible to sociodemographic factors,
and cumulatively affect frequent use as well as potential benefits from such use.

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study focused on social interactions in video game playing (game-mediated social interactions) in particular with
regard to players’ motives of playing video games with others, homophily of the interactions, and social capital
accumulated from the in-game contacts. Relationships between these three variables were further examined in order to
uncover how certain patterns of game-mediated social interactions contribute to certain impact on players' social life.
A Singapore national survey was conducted to address the issues. Findings revealed two patterns of game-mediated
social interactions and provided insight into how playing video games together produced social capital. For players
driven by expressive motives to play video games with others, video games provide a platform to express care,
affection, and to build relationships with similar others, from which bonding social capital is built or strengthened. For
players driven by instrumental motives to play video games with others, the game-mediated social interaction is a
means to improve in-game achievement and performance. It opens up opportunities for meeting others from different
background, which may help the formation of bridging social capital.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Organizations from government departments and corporations to small businesses are increasingly adopting social
media for strategic communication. This is seen by many as a positive development because the openness of the Web
2.0 environment potentially democratizes voice and affords participation, dialogue and community-building.
However, optimistic views of the benefits of organizational social media communication fail to adequately take
account of potential conflict between the philosophy of openness that characterizes Web 2.0 and organizational
strategy and management processes. Based on two international surveys from Australasia and Europe, this paper
shows how social media are being deployed by organizations. These findings are further explored through depth
interviews with social media specialists to foreground the challenges and tensions of balancing organizational strategy
and management with social media practices, particularly in relation to objectives, control and governance. The
findings identify future directions in strategic communication that mediate the interests of organizations and online
communities.

A fundamental feature of social media are that they are based on communication among networks of others. Because
communication is essential to collaboration on activities, those who have more contacts in work-oriented social media
are more likely to be collaborative in their work behaviors. A goal of this research was to empirically examine the
current orientations of participants on the LinkedIn social media site to collaboration in their work. LinkedIn was
chosen because it is the largest work-oriented social media platform, and subjects were chosen because it is an activity
with a range of processes, and apparent variation in collaboration, yet offers some degree of control over the kinds of
people studied. Hypotheses were supported that subjects with larger networks of online contacts were more verbal,
had higher collaborative word use, were more positive, were more evaluative, used more competence-oriented words,
and had semantic networks for collaboration that were more complex, with greater discrimination, differentiation, and
integration. Given the experiences of current young adults with social media, it may be further hypothesized that
future work will become increasingly collaborative, not merely in academia through centralized government funding
requirements.

6355. Social Navigation: A New Paradigm for Explaining Audience Selectivity?
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Social media are increasingly relevant for journalism and strongly affect newsroom workflows and professional
routines (see e.g. Williams et al., 2011; Singer, 2010; Domingo et al., 2008). One element of these institutional
changes are social media guidelines, which advise or even regulate journalists’ social media activities in professional
and/or personal contexts. Thus, they are relevant sources for the study of journalistic self-reflection and self-
obligations as well as a manifest expression of the extension of journalism to new communication spaces and new
practices. The paper discusses findings from a content analysis of German, British and US-American social media
guidelines: They cover different areas of journalistic activities within social media, addressing opportunities as well as
risks. Addressed are presentation routines, audience participation and research methods as well as the difference of
professional and private use of social media. Special emphasis is put on the relevance and validity of professional
journalistic standards and routines within an online driven environment.

with families with autism recommend dogs or other companion animals be introduced into homes with ASD children)
as well as the external communication program of organizations.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Instead of following the classic CSR idea of presenting corporations as responsible corporate citizens using
approaches of deliberative consensus finding in order to (re-)gain legitimacy and control, we present the theory of
“agonistic pluralism” (AP) (Mouffe, 2000, 2005) as a concept that is able to describe and explain CSR communication
in the social media environment. AP accepts the necessarily pluralistic, conflictual nature of post-modernity and sees
the main function of democratic and thus also: corporate responsibility not in an illusory, rationalistic striving for
durable control or harmony, but in allowing and assisting a productive conflict and “conversion” of competing ideals,
values and beliefs. As negotiations of CSR issues in social media reveal to be neither controllable nor consensus-
driven, but constituted by emergent communication structures and fluctuating power relations, we argue that AP offers
a better framework for explaining CSR communication in social media than classic CSR theories. From the
perspective of AP, CSR communication is no longer so much about silencing conflict by “doing good and talking
about it”, but rather about finding a way to cope with the controversiality of “how is talked about one”.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

With the spread of newer technologies, people are increasingly coming in contact with others who have different
backgrounds and languages. Researchers have grappled with these concepts for many decades. Many researchers have
expounded the negative aspects of globalization through terms such as cultural imperialism. Other researchers have
have coined the term glocalization and postulated that cultural globalization has not been all bad. This research looks
at the Garifuna people in the United States and Honduras and shows how new media technologies are helping to
preserve what remains of the Garifuna culture and language. It also shows how the use of new media is giving the
Garifuna a voice in mainstream media. While many Garifuna still feel the effects of an imbalanced flow of television
programming – as well as an absence of their own culture in mainstream programming, other methods of mass
communication are compensating in ways not previously studied.

Some believe that social media and Facebook provide the opportunity for all users to be connected as one tribe in a
utopian global community with a shared global consciousness. But the technology is not necessarily structured for
such purposes. Facebook pushes users to ascribe to different networks, groups, and subcultures, all embraced by users
in a quest for cultural and personal identities in the expanding information environments. While this can be seen as
reclaiming distinct groups and cultures once lost through media homogenization, this paper offers a different
perspective. Facebook users are forced to define themselves by stereotypes and clichés so that they can be marketed
more effectively, suggesting Facebook is not just social media serving global community, but also surveillance media
serving global capitalism. What is overlooked is how much Facebook is like a video game. Like avatars in a video
game, users guide their online and real world personae through a simulated environment in which each user is at the
center of their virtual universe, a universe created for them, starring them. If the stance of the Facebook technology is
to place each user at the center of everything in cyberspace, then what might be the effect of Facebook on building
communities in real space?

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Among the challenges in effectively managing a crisis is working with the various media in which information is
presented. Part of meeting this challenge requires precise modeling of consumer responses to safety messages in
emerging technologies like social media. To remedy gaps in our understanding of social media and food safety crisis
communications, consumer intent to comply with a food safety message was evaluated within the framework of the
Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991a, 1991b). A 2x2 experimental design with four scenarios (message
source x reliability), including realism checks of the scenarios, were conducted. Results indicated that intent to
comply with a food safety message was higher in response to messages in professional sources than in user-generated
sources, but that the majority of this effect could be explained by participant age, which in turn predicted use of social
media. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Internet users are no longer solely passive consumers of online health content. Instead they are also active producers.
Social media, such as social networking sites, are online communities where patients can pool their knowledge and
experience together to manage their health care. However, little is known about the impact of participation on these
sites. This study surveyed members of social networking sites that focused on prenatal health to examine the impact of
participation on these sites. Survey data were collected from 114 pregnant members of the most active sites developed
around this health issue. The findings show that measures of time spent on the sent were less predictive of impacts
than more qualitative assessments such as perceived usefulness of the site. Further, members who provided more
support tended to be more influenced by their participation than those who sought support. The findings and
directions for future research are discussed.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

A variety of studies over the last two decades have found that politically knowledgeable, civically engaged, and
politically active individuals tend to share particular patterns of Internet use. The current study represents a
prospective examination of changes over time in use of social networking sites and political outcomes among
nationally representative surveys of 14- to 22-year-olds. We evaluate new methodological approaches and test the
hypotheses that differences in social capital among users of various social networking sites stem from (1) a
combination of initial differences embodied by the users of the sites, (2) variation within site features, and (3) the
diversity of social norms and engagement operating within various sites. Using Granger causality, we find evidence
that particular uses of certain social media have a generalizable and apparently causal impact on offline social capital
and political participation.

This study examines (1) how social media use (i.e., blogs and social network sites) influences individuals’ online
political participation; and (2) the mediating role of exposure to political perspectives (i.e., cross-cutting exposure and
exposure to like-minded viewpoints) in the relationship of social media use and online political participation. The
results show that both blog and SNS use are positively related to online political participation. Most interestingly,
exposure to like-minded perspectives mediates the relationship between individuals’ blog use and online political
participation while cross-cutting exposure mediates the relationship between SNS use and participation.

To explore the feasibility of social media for message testing, this study links favorable viewer responses to
antismoking videos on YouTube with the videos’ message characteristics (MSV and appeals), producer types, and
viewer rating as a social influence. With multilevel modeling, a content analysis of 7561 viewers’ comments to
antismoking videos is linked to a content analysis of 87 antismoking videos. Based on a cognitive response approach,
viewer comments are classified and coded as message-oriented thought, video feature-relevant thought, and audience-
generated thought. The three logistic mixed models indicate that videos with high MSV with absence of humor
appeals, and videos produced by lay individuals were positively associated with favorable viewer responses. But
videos produced by lay individuals may work negatively if coupled with these message features. Also, efforts to
understand audience responses to the messages could be enhanced by considering nuance cues.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This essay analyzes the engagement of online feminist activism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), most
notably during the citizen revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and, specifically, women’s use of online social
networking to aid social change. Online activism occurs in a liminal “third space”, a place where traditional rules
governing society may be set aside to a greater or lesser extent depending on a variety of contexts. Rooted in theories
of space as constructed by the material needs of its inhabitants, the concept of the third space is socially defined by the
contrast between what is experienced such spaces and what can be imagined for them. Building on this concept, and
drawing upon field research, collaboration with MENA women colleagues, and participant-observation during
technology-focused events, most notably the UN World Summit on the Information Society, the essay interrogates the
impact of the revolutions on enhancing gender equality.

Countries across the world rely on public relations to communicate their national image to the world. A favorable
national image is valuable for many relationship outcomes: trade, tourism, and invitations to strategic alliances.
Turkey, perhaps more than most nations, recognizes that necessity of a positive national image as it seeks an ascension
into the European Union. Government leaders employ a variety of strategic communication strategies and tactics in
their communication of a national image. This paper explores how one public relations tactic, social media via
Twitter, is employed to communicate an image of Turkey as a European, progressive, democratic, secular, Muslim
nation.

Social media afford citizens unique opportunities to engage news content in ways not experienced through traditional
mass communication. 2010 PEW data are used to assess the relationship between reception and transmission of news
content within social media. This association is assessed for a sample of the general public (N = 1264), while the
proposed thwarting hypothesis isolates Republicans who believe news media outlets retain a liberal bias (N = 254).
The reception-transmission association is driven by reception for the general public, while transmission is the lead
variable for Republicans who perceive the news media as hostile toward their political beliefs.

The realms of the ‘cultural’ and the ‘city’ have high degree of relevance for transnational groups and individuals.
Amongst transnational migrants, identity, belonging and representation are increasingly elusive and contested
concepts. The aim of this paper is to address, from the perspective of cosmopolitanism, expressions of identity and
spaces of belonging at the juncture of online communicative practice and offline locality. With the focus remaining on
gendered constructions of sociality and subjectivity within the Turkish diaspora in Sweden, this ethnographic study
illustrates and elaborates the persistence and recasting of meanings of place, and mediated place-making, as
determining factors in identity formation. It is concluded that media and mediated activity do not necessarily detach
identities from place, but rather reposition them in it.

This study examines if Facebook, one of the most popular social network sites among college students in the U.S., is
related to certain dimensions of social capital, bridging social capital and bonding social capital. In addition, this study
investigates whether differential forms of Facebook use are linked to bridging social capital and bonding social
capital. Using data, we find positive relationships between intensity of Facebook use and bridging social capital. With
respect to forms of the Facebook use, the present study finds a positive relationship between the form of the Facebook
use for social relations and bridging social capital, whereas the study find a negative relationship between the form of
the Facebook use for escape and bonding social capital.

This paper presents the results of a study concerning the use of profile pages by adolescents to get to know more about
offline friends and acquaintances. Previous research has indicated that social network sites are used to gather
information on new online contacts. However, several studies have demonstrated a substantial overlap between offline
and online social networks. Hence, we question whether online profiles are meaningful in gathering information on
these 'offline' friends and acquaintances. The results indicate that the combination of passive uncertainty reduction
(monitoring a profile) and interactive uncertainty reduction (communication through a profile) explains certainty
about both friends and acquaintances. Second, it shows that the results of online uncertainty reduction positively
affect self-disclosure, which is imperative in building a solid friend relation. Furthermore, we find that uncertainty
reduction strategies positively mediate the effect of social anxiety on the level of certainty about friends.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Politicians in France are also increasing their presence on social networks as they are preparing for the 2012
presidential campaign. President and likely 2012 presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has taken an ambivalent
approach to social media: on one hand, he has attempted to impose regulations on social media use in France, and on
the other hand, he has strived to initiate a dialogue between representatives of the French government and gurus of the
social media such as Mark Zuckerberg. Several French political figures, including Sarkozy, have recently utilized
social media to launch social dialogues about issues and problems related to economic crisis and the future of Europe.
However, research shows that French political figures understand less than their U.S. counterparts the main features of
social networking, accessibility and interaction. This makes them less popular but also less vulnerable to public and
media scrutiny than U.S. politicians.

In India, a computer savvy younger generation is demanding from public figures fast and two way communication in
virtual environments. However, currently most political figures still primarily employ traditional media for getting
messages across to audiences. Even when utilized, presence in virtual spaces is used especially for one direction
communication. Most political figuresd, including president Pratibha Devisingh Patil and prime minister Manmonah
Singh, have web pages, but fewer (and less significant) politicians have profiles in social networks. The pages of the
political parties and the political candidates in social networks are mainly instruments of information for journalists,
analysts and adherents, but they are not built in view of a relationship with publics. The sections for communication
with publics are weak (weak rate of answer and feed-back, no moderation principles). This presenter will discuss
public participation consequences of this situation.

The presidential campaign of 2009 proved the importance of the online space in political communication in Romania,
as many candidates attempted to gain financial support and to attract voters in virtual environments. Although
websites and not social networks were the preferred means of online communication during this campaign, many
Romanian politicians had a presence on Facebook, MySpace, Youtube, and LinkedIn. Research shows that the public
appreciated candidates who had network presence that demonstrated interactivity, freshness of perspective, and
originality in contructing messages. However, the candidates with the most intense and the most interesting network
presence, such as Crin Antonescu and Mircea Geoana, lost the elections to a candidate who employed mostly
campaigning through traditional media and website information, Traian Basescu. It seems that in Romania network
connectivity is not widespread enough and important enough to produce significant campaign results.

This presentation examines the continued use of social networks by such political figures as Barack Obama and Sarah
Palin during the presidential campaign of 2008 and subsequent to the 2008 elections. To satisfy the expectations of a
generation of Web 2.0 users, both the Obama and the Palin camps have been available on an array of networks
including Facebook, MySpace, Youtube, Flickr, Twitter, and LinkedIn; additionally, the Obama campaign has been
made available even for ethnic and racial communities through BlackPlanet, Fightbase, MyGente, MyBatanga,
AsianAve. The intense network presence of such political figures has fulfilled for many the need of participation and
implication. However, network presence has afforded critical voices to emerge from the networked public, and it has
also allowed for any gaffe made by politicians in network communication to be noted and amended by traditional
media and by the public.

Although television’s role to prime and cultivate moral beliefs of its viewers has been extensively debated, no current
data are available regarding the prevalence of moral messages on television. This study presents a content analysis
based on social cognitive theory (Bandura 2001) that covers a wide variety of norm violations and their context. It
allows in-depth examination of norm violations with regards to a number of aspects relevant for social learning, e.g.,
characteristics of perpetrators and victims and relationship between them, perpetrators’ motives, punishment, moral
development, etc. The sample consisted of 15 consecutive episodes of six popular crime drama television series (total:
90 episodes) produced in the U.S. and in Germany. Results show that most norm violations remain unpunished and
that males are portrayed more frequently than females as perpetrators and victims. Violence-related offenses are most
frequently displayed, followed by conversation-related norm violations like cursing, lying and verbal attacks.

Garrison, Anderson, and Archer’s (2000) Community of Inquiry (CoI) posits that social presence is established by an
instructor displaying affective, interactive, and cohesive communicative behaviors in an online classroom. Qualitative
methodology was used to identify the indicators of social presence students request from their instructors. The CoI
categories, as well as two new themes were identified in the data. These themes were used as a coding scheme for a
content analysis of the data. Logistic regression was then used to determine if the indicators of social presence
identified by the participants differ based upon sex and college status. Findings indicate that women rely more on
interactive and cohesive messages than men and that undergraduate students requested more computer-mediated
instructional immediacy than graduate students.

A 2 (number of diggs: low or high) x 2 (source credibility: low or high) x 2 (recency: more recent or less recent)
between-subjects experiment was conducted to explore how three news cues individually and interactively affected
users’ perception of news credibility and newsworthiness, as well as their selective exposure to news feeds on a social
bookmarking website. The findings of this study indicated that social recommendation cue, in the form of number of
diggs, was the primary factor to influence users’ perceived news credibility and click likelihood. Social
recommendation cue also had a primacy effect over perceived newsworthiness, such that the other two news cues only
mattered when the number of diggs was low. The effect of source credibility was dependent upon the influence of
other news cues. The interaction effect of source credibility and recency on perceived newsworthiness suggested a
potential cue-summation effect.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of social support and undermining on health-related quality of
life (HRQOL) (specifically, general health perceptions and physical functioning) when controlling for demographics,
medication adherence, and behavioral health. A total of 344 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH), and who were
patients in a federally-funded clinic in New Mexico, completed a self-report survey questionnaire. The major findings
of this study are: (a) social support variables have positive bivariate relationships, while social undermining variables
have negative bivariate relationships with HRQOL; (b) when controlling for demographics, medication adherence,
and behavioral health, only social undermining (specifically social isolation and disrespect) was a significant predictor
of HRQOL; and (c) other significant correlates of HRQOL in the multivariate model included work status, age (for
physical functioning only), and depression. The findings suggest that interventions should target work status,
depression, and reducing social undermining in PLWH.

This study examines the effects of social support, social strain, and loneliness on well-being and tests the mediating
role of loneliness based on the need to belong (NTB) theory (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). The study relies on a
national sample of 7,500 participants who completed the Leave-Behind Questionnaire in the Health and Retirement
Study (HRS) conducted in 2008-2009. Results indicate that social support alleviates loneliness, while social strain
worsens loneliness, and that higher support and lower strain are associated with better well-being, with both of the
relationships being partially mediated by lower loneliness. This study highlights the negative impacts of social strain
on well-being, evinces that effects of social resources (e.g., better social relations, represented by higher support and
lower strain) are partially mediated by psychological resources (e.g., lower loneliness), and suggests health
interventions focus on enhancing support and diminishing strain to improve the overall quality of social relationships.

This paper delineate present social audience transformation as a ground for future television services. From being
household centred, socially shared and common, patterns of television consumption is today moving towards being
increasingly individualized and mobile. How is television to tap into this? The paper builds empirical evidence on a
thorough mapping out of detailed changes in viewing behaviours during the last decade. Processed, in raw data form,
is a massive amount of People Meter data (Nielsen type) mapping out longitudinal viewing behaviours of a large panel
of households, at a minute-to-minute resolution. The results establish social trends of transformations in television
consumption present today, defining the conditions for a broader range of video consumption of tomorrow.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

The socialist press 1900-17 offers a unique opportunity to explore how a group considered deviant within a social
movement group—feminists, in this case—uses its media to counter negative stereotypes and discrimination within
that social movement. Reading and writing in socialist newspapers were integral to how women contested their
subordination not only in American society but also in the socialist movement. Women socialists thus fought for
equality on two fronts. This paper explores socialist women’s use of the socialist press to voice views on issues such
as women’s role in the home; their rights to vote and contraception; to challenge discrimination in the Socialist Party;
and create community among far-flung women socialists. The findings point to the need for diverse voices in social
movement media to keep the movement relevant.

The SOLVE trial evaluates a theory-based interactive video (IAV) intervention targeting risky Black, White, and
Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). A randomized, controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 540 MSM
randomly assigned to either the SOLVE condition or a wait-list control (WLC): There was blocking on age (18-24;
25-30) and ethnicity. Primary outcomes involved MSM’s change in self-reported unprotected anal intercourse (UAI)
and numbers of partners with UAI (NPUAI) from baseline to 3-month follow-up. MSM in the intervention showed
more immediate post-intervention change as expected than WLC on theory critical variables. Reduction in UAI and
NPUAI was found for the SOLVE-IAV group compared to WLC for younger (18-24 year old) MSM (YMSM) but not
older (25-30 year old) MSM: There were no differences across ethnicity/race. SOLVE-IAV is a promising efficacious
HIV risk reduction intervention for YMSM that might be rapidly disseminated over the web.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

As people increasingly play with video games, the concerns regarding the risks associated with heavy playing
activities intensify. Scholarly interest for determining factors of a phenomenon called video-game addiction has led to
a line of research in this area. Borrowing from Lee and LaRose’s (2007) socio-cognitive model of video game
consumption, this study extends previous findings about the relationships between deficient self-control, habitual
media use and video game consumption to further establish an explanatory model for predicting problematic video
game playing behavior.
Sociosexual Orientation and Multitasking Influence the Effect of Sexual Media Content on Involvement With a
Sexual Character., Inge Boot, U of Amsterdam; Jochen Peter, U of Amsterdam; Johanna M.F. van Oosten, University

8220. Sex in Media: Content and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether responses to sexual media depend on personal and situational
factors. Specifically, we studied the role of sociosexual orientation (i.e., personal factor) and multitasking (i.e.,
situational factor) in the effects of sexual media content on involvement with the character, a concept that has received
increasing attention as an explanation of the emergence of sexual media effects. Sociosexually restricted and
unrestricted female participants watched a neutral or erotic scene. Half of the participants in the neutral and sex
condition had to multitask (a tone detection task) during viewing the scene. In the sex condition, sociosexually
unrestricted participants were more involved with the main character than sociosexually restricted participants.
Multitasking resulted in opposite patterns of involvement with the sexual character; unrestricted participants became
less involved, whereas restricted participants became less uninvolved with the sexual character.

5334. Entertainment, Soft News, and Politics
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The media are often blamed for electorates’ low levels of political knowledge and involvement, due to the tendency to
cover political news in an increasingly entertaining manner. This study investigated whether and how watching
particular news genres (soft or hard) relate to political cynicism. Using a novel and sophisticated measure for media
exposure, analyses of three recent surveys found a strong relationship between watching certain news programs and
political cynicism. People who watched serious news more often were less cynical about politics than people who
watched popular kinds of news more often. This relation seems not to be conditional on differences of education
levels, political awareness or newspaper readership. In short, this paper confirms what was already expected by many.
Controlling for many potential confounding variables, there still exists a strong relation between the television
programs people watch and their level of political cynicism.

Feminist resistance and theory have needed to constantly evolve in countries of the South, where state planning is
dictated by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, their debt-induced structural adjustment policies
and grandly-scaled projects that often impinge upon the livelihood of poor folk. In this paper I study the writings and
strategies used by activist Vandana Shiva to resist the pressures that globalization and commercialization exert on
agricultural communities in the global South.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Although popular music and politics have been linked in various contexts, surprisingly little is known about whether
and how popular songs can influence political attitudes. The present study provides empirical evidence that popular
music indeed influences public opinion by altering the standards for subsequent political judgments, just as news
media do. Specifically, this experimental study demonstrates that Lady Gaga’s highly popularized song, “Born This
Way,” primes genetic beliefs about the origins of homosexuality in citizens’ ensuing evaluations of gay rights issues.
We further explore the underlying mechanisms of priming, with particular emphasis on the role of applicability
independent of the frequently examined accessibility. Our findings suggest that priming entails both accessibility and
applicability processes, especially when a political cue is less explicitly inserted in a nonpolitical media genre.
Finally, we find that vocalized lyrics are the key element of the priming effect among other musical components.

6340. Fields of Production: Logics and Practices of the Media Industries
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Since the 1990s, Sony Pictures Entertainment has developed an aggressive and pioneering localization strategy for
film production—the local language production (LLP)—reflecting the changing contemporary transnational media
climate and Sony’s increasing reliance on the global marketplace beyond the United States. Sony creates production
units across Latin America, Europe, and Asia to co-produce films for local audiences. Based on industry interviews
and field research, this paper explores the history and organization of Sony’s LLP strategy as well as the Brazilian
LLP unit. By examining Sony’s LLP strategy from both an institutional perspective and industry-specific context, this
paper illustrates how local industry conditions and a willingness to adapt to cultures of production determine the
success of these co-production units. An analysis of mid-level processes within Sony do Brasil reveals a more nuanced
view of the conglomerate’s filmed entertainment divisions, local co-production strategies, and overall position in the
global marketplace.

the New Communication Environment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In a world where anyone can publish, many do. Digital tools have democratized media; the tools of creation are
increasingly ubiquitous, and the media people create is more widely available than at any time in history. Consumers
of media are becoming creators, and creators are becoming collaborators -- as news providers, political and social
activists, and more. Journalists have adopted these new tools, but they are still adapting to the new media eco-system,
in which they are a relatively smaller player than in the past. The new slogan for journalists in the internet age goes:
Welcome to the age of information confusion: for many journalists, that abundance feels more like a deluge, drowning
them in a torrent of data whose trustworthiness can't easily be judge. But journalists aren't helpless, either. In fact,
they have never had more ways to sort out the good from the bad: A variety of tools and techniques are emerging from
the same collision of technology and media that has created the confusion. As there has also never been such
uncertainty about its quality journalists need to use these tools and techniques to sort the good from the bad in more
modern ways, using new tactics in service of time-honored principles. These apply to consumers and creators.
Eventually, this also includes two basic assets that have to be reaccentuated – the brain and the journalist’s curiosity.

5222. Challenges of Researching on/With Communities of Practice
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The recent wave of economic and political movements and protests throughout the world has attracted enormous
global interest – was well as intense anxiety among government and private-sector authorities and law enforcement –
because of their reach and visibility across geographic borders and social/cultural boundaries, as well as their apparent
lack of leadership or formal grievances/demands. These actions have touched on policy concerns ranging from
security to censorship. Many observers have been quick to attribute the movements’ power to mobile devices, social
media, and the Internet; others argue that the technologies have been merely a means for mobilizing new kinds of
activism and participation. In this talk I consider current movements (such as Occupy Wall Street in the U.S., the
Egyptian, Tunisian and Middle East uprisings, and the 15-M or Indignados movement in Spain, for example) as
communities of practice that have distinctive modes of creating and using space and place, both in physical space and
online. Drawing on recent work by Manuel Castells (2009), Jeffrey Juris, and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, as
well as recent empirical studies of these movements, I suggest a framework for analyzing the ways that contemporary
movements create and use spaces and places for participation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In Brussels, the planetarium next to the Atomium (on the former world’s fair grounds) currently features the Imax
film, The Violent Universe (2011), which depicted Spaceship Earth facing a barrage of deadly cosmic forces. Of
course, theology and Hollywood have long had their apocalyptic prophesies, such as those featured in Revelations and
Roland Emmerich films. But these end of the world scenarios are appearing with increasing frequency in science
documentaries, such as The Universe (2007-2010), Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking (2010), Through the
Wormhole (2010-2011), and many others. The scenarios include an endless array of apocalypses facing planet Earth
— comets and asteroids wiping out all life, supernovas radiating the planet, black holes gobbling the planet, and so
on. All of these scenarios are possible. But, is there a hidden message? Do these theories reflect the dissolution of
human society on a planet in an impersonal and potentially dangerous universe? Or is this trend a strangely unifying
force that both invigorates and re-centers the global community? Does the impending apocalypse mean dystopian
destruction or utopian redemption, and how are local and global communities envisioning themselves within these
end-of-the-world narratives? What do these scenarios say about our ability to imagine a future for community and
civilization?

Using a telephone survey conducted in 2009 among a representative sample of 1,000 Spanish journalists, this study
explored basic characteristics, education and training, work conditions and perceptions about the performance of the
journalism in a complex time of press and economic crises. The findings show that most Spanish journalists are
experienced and highly educated professionals. However, many also note that work conditions deteriorated due to the
recent economic crisis. Job insecurity was the most frequently mentioned problem among the respondents. In addition,
more than half of the interviewed journalists stated they had been subject to pressure from editors and politicians. The
majority of journalists expressed a negative view of the independence of the profession in Spain.

7528. Iconic Representation: Media Images that Discipline Social Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Days after the nationwide release of The China Syndrome, a film which portends the possible meltdown of nuclear
power plant, the United States witnessed the worst nuclear accident in its history at Three Mile Island (TMI).
Scientists and engineers who once scoffed at The China Syndrome for its improbable depiction of the nuclear energy
industry and the possibility of a nuclear meltdown were laboring to distance “real” management of nuclear technology
from its cinematic portrayal after the TMI crisis. This essay argues that the public reception of The China Syndrome
demonstrates how cinematic representations of the nuclear industry can reframe scientific discourses by disrupting the
dominant discourses that governed perceptions of nuclear power. This process of reframing lies in the enthymematic
use of The China Syndrome to challenge technoscientific discourses.

Presented at the following event:

7535. Discursive Challenges of Expression in Public Meetings
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Public involvement in technical issues is contested when experts question the ability of the public to understand
scientific issues. This skepticism of the public’s capacity contributes to what Henry Boyte (2009) has called the “cult
of the expert,” privileging technical expertise over public opinion and input. The relationship between experts and the
public goes to the core of democratic theory, to determining how we best make public decisions together. This paper
explores the construction and negotiation of relationships between “experts” and “citizens” in a series of public
meetings on the future of Northern Colorado’s water supply. Through cultural discourse analysis, this paper offers an
account of “expert” and “citizen” personae and how they can and should speak during public meetings. This series
included three different meeting formats—a “public forum,” three “educational sessions”, and two “public
deliberations” consisting of small group discussions—which enables a discussion of how meeting design influences
the interactional relationships between experts and citizens.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

Recently, the cognitive processes responsible for cultivation effects have been explained through dual-process models,
proposing that cultivation occurs due to heuristic processing and disappears when information is processed
systematically. Basic requirement for the latter this is that respondents are motivated and able to do so. Previous
research has shown that personal as well as situational factors influence the processing strategy and thus cultivation
effects. This study extended the research in this area by testing for the influence of and relation between situational
factors (namely the survey mode and structure of the questionnaire) and personal characteristics (education and Need
for Cognition) in a field experiment. Results show that situational factors can only influence cultivation effects if high
levels of education and Need for Cognition already exist. Only when these preconditions are met situational factors
cause systematic processing and reduce cultivation effects.

Presented at the following event:

5540. Suffering, Trauma, and Media Reception
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The media ethics literature has often taken the privileged Westerner as the default ‘witness’ of suffering, with much
critique centered on his strategies of denial and practices of ‘switching off’ from disturbing images of human anguish
in faraway locales. This paper, drawing from an ethnographic study of Filipino television audiences, brings to the
discussion the voices of people whose experience of suffering is not defined by distance but proximity: What do
people who self-identify as sufferers themselves have to say about how television represents them? This paper finds
that the majority of television audiences in this context tunes in to, rather than switches off from, the
overrepresentation of suffering on television. Academic critique and middle-class judgments of exploitation run
contrary to low-income viewers’ positive regard for the symbolic recognition that media afford them. The paper
presents a de-Westernizing approach to current debates about agency, cosmopolitanism and witnessing. Assistant
Professor in Sociology at Hong Kong Baptist University, Jonathan Corpus Ong’s doctoral work focused on symbolic
and material mediations of suffering in the Philippine television industry. He uses empirical work with television
audiences to dialogue with philosophical debates on media ethics. A recent graduate from the University of
Cambridge, Jonathan has published his work on media ethics, media and migration, and mediated political
participation in Media, Culture & Society, South East Asia Research, and Communication, Culture & Critique. He

Representation
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

In this essay, I examine a sample of four texts featuring lesbian-parented families that aired on television (with
overlaps) from 2000 until present. The study was conducted using semiotic analysis within a critical conception of
ideology and a queer theoretical framework. The texts include HBO’s made-for-TV movie If These Walls Could Talk
2 (2000), Showtime series The L Word (2004-2009), Logo’s Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in all the World
, and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy (2005-present). These texts were examined in order to identify themes in representation
of lesbian-parented families. Themes were interrogated for hegemonic functions of heteronormativity. Findings of
this study indicate that narratives of lesbian-parented families on television from 2000 to present demonstrate the
following four dominant themes: (1) a focus on conception and babyhood; (2) a visual and narrative emphasis on
sperm; (3) lesbian negativity toward males; and (4) lesbian mothers as persistently non-traditional.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Using the issue of genetically modified foods in South Korea, this study examines the role of fear of isolation in the
spiral of silence process. Findings provided support for the conformity hypothesis. As the spiral of silence predicts,
there were small but statistically significant relationships between respondents’ perceptions of opinion climates and
their willingness to talk in public about GM foods. Findings also supported the idea that fear of isolation is a causal
mechanism that links perceived opinion climates to opinion expression. One’s fear of isolation, as a personality trait,
was related negatively to his or her willingness to speak out. Evidence also suggested that the influence of opinion
climates was greater among those who had a greater fear of isolation in general. Implications of the findings are
discussed in detail.

This article examines the dynamic relationship between issues in environmental news reporting. The focus of the
study is on issue interactions within a single news program over a fifty year period, covering all news stories on
environmental issues in the main public service news program in Swedish television 1961-2010. The analysis shows a
positive correlation between levels of attention on different environmental issues; intense focus on one category of
environmental issues does not crowd out other environmental concerns in the news. On the contrary, a surge in
interest to one category of environmental problems generates attention to other environmental issues as well.

5140. Gender Politics From Ads to Aesthletics in Contemporary Popular Culture
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper explores tensions that arise when televised American football—studied elsewhere for its emphasis on men,
masculinity, and the (raced) male body—attempts to reach out to female fans. Integral to this analysis is a focus on
the four pillars of what I term ‘aesthletics’—technology, identificatory signification, liveness, and flow—the tightly
interwoven aesthetic and textual strategies employed by sports television at the service of patriarchal and capitalist
goals. As a case study, I analyze the NFL’s second annual ‘A Crucial Catch’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
Building on existing conversations surrounding football and the body, sports and gender, and television aesthetics, this
paper argues aesthletics function as a tightly interwoven visual and aural system that bolsters masculinity and excises
femininity from the visual field. This gendered logic of aesthletics structures ‘Catch,’ which promises inclusion
constructed through discourses of femininity and consumerism while simultaneously precluding women’s actual
participation.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This study examined the intermedia agenda setting process, in which the national news media coverage affects the
local news media coverage, in the context of the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic. A content analysis of 4,518 articles from
national and local newspapers was conducted. The results offer evidence that national newspaper coverage influenced
local newspaper coverage of H1N1. Amount of coverage, front page placement of H1N1 stories, and frequency of flu
terms in headlines in local newspapers were influenced by national newspaper coverage. These intermedia agenda
setting effects of national news coverage on local news coverage were limited to the first three months of the story’s
placement on the media agenda.

The overall purpose of this study was to explore whether underlying motivations could predict frequency of Facebook
use, use of social connection features and use of self-expression features. We sought to explain both general and
specific uses of Facebook by accounting for the influences of motivations, attitudes and motivation activation systems.
Our adopted measure of attitudes only predicted Facebook use in general while motivations only predicted specific
uses of Facebook. In contrast, we found that the MiniMAM-scale predicted most of our dependent variables, pointing
out surprising and interesting relationships.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The protests that swept across North Africa and the Middle East early in 2011 captured the imaginations of many,
including those in the news media. Soon, reporters were writing about an “Arab Spring” and of jasmine, and other,
revolutions. This textual analysis examines the framing of the January 25th movement in Egypt. Peering through the
lens of post-colonial theory, it focuses on New York Times editorials published in January and February of 2011 in an
effort to understand what narratives were circulated about the Egyptian protests. It finds that Egypt was largely
portrayed as a pre-modern society ready to embrace liberalism and the modernity that comes with it.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Research on violence in television and in computer games revealed that there are effects on its viewers. In this paper,
we raise this question again concerning violence in stereoscopic movies: Against the background of the effects of
media violence, involvement and a differentiation of the reception process itself and its post-receptive effects, we
measure the effects of violence in stereoscopic movies in an experimental design, combining online- and post
receptive measures. To reach a high level of external validity, our experiment was conducted in a regular cinema. We
argue that stereoscopic presentations lead to a more intense feeling of involvement during reception with diverse
effects (on the viewers’ aggression level for example) after reception.

Presented at the following event:

5152. Intercultural Interaction and Adjustment
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study examined American students’ perceptions of Chinese international students in two parts. Specifically,
American students were asked about the stereotypes they hold about Chinese students on their university campus. To
begin, 100 American students from classes at a large midwestern university listed traits describing a typical Chinese
student, generating a total of 31 descriptors. Next, 146 American participants from the same university reported the
percentage of Chinese students they believed to possess each of the 31 traits and the favorability of those traits.
Exploratory factor analysis revealed five primary stereotypes of Chinese students. Some reflect previous literature
concerning stereotypes of Asians generally (e.g., smart/hardworking), whereas others are more unique (e.g.,
nice/friendly). Stereotypes ranged from highly favorable (i.e., nice/friendly) to highly unfavorable (i.e.,
oblivious/annoying). Results provide a better understanding of American student assumptions about Chinese
international students and initial information about how those stereotypes may influence communication between the
two groups.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study assessed the frequency of timeliness and communication grounding elements present within broadcast
news stories re-purposed as online content and investigated the presence or absence of what this author defines as
temporal fixity. The author conducted a content analysis of 266 online news videos from NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX
local affiliate stations. The findings indicate that no coded hard news videos contained temporal fixity. The results of
this study draw attention to how re-purposed broadcast video content is temporally disassociated from its original
broadcast date and time. Although 158 videos offered email links 40.9% (n=79) of those links do not return to the
location of the original content. The author offers suggestions for ways to temporally fix sharable content and draws
attention to content management and sharing options.

6641. Organizations as Communities of Doing: Exploring the Role of Pragmatism in Organizational Communication
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

A pragmatic approach to organizational studies presupposes that meaning exists in the everyday practices of
individuals, whether they are studied or not. In the Weickian sense, organizational environments function through
¬the reflexive sensemaking practices of individuals within them. However, finding manageable structures for
observing, analyzing, and explaining organizational concepts in complex and networked environments presents
communication researchers a formidable challenge. Peirce’s abductive epistemology is one approach for negotiating
the explanatory values of knowledge with the daily realities of practice, acknowledging both theory and doubt as
valuable tools for empirical research (Taylor & Van Every, 2011). This paper argues that as an abductive
methodology, narrative analysis bridges the generalizable/individual dilemma; locating narrative elements within
organizational concepts offers points of structure without explicitly standardizing experiences.

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Objective: Stories can serve as powerful tools for health interventions. Story immersion refers to the experience of
being absorbed in a story. This is among the first studies to analyze story immersion’s role in health video games
among children by addressing two main questions: Will children be more immersed when the main characters are
similar to them? Do increased levels of immersion relate to more positive health outcomes? Materials and Methods:
Eighty-seven 10-12-year-old African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic children from Houston, Texas, played a
health videogame, Escape from Diab, featuring a protagonist with both African American and Hispanic phenotypic
features. Children’s demographic information, immersion, and health outcomes (i.e., preference, motivation, and self-
efficacy) were recorded and then correlated and analyzed. Results: African-American and Hispanic participants
reported higher immersion scores than Caucasian participants (p=.01). Story immersion correlated positively (ps<.03)
with an increase in preference for fruits and vegetables (r=.27), intrinsic motivation for water (r=.29), vegetable self-
efficacy (r=.24), and physical activity self-efficacy (r=.32). Conclusion: Ethnic similarity between video game
characters and players enhanced immersion and several health outcomes. Effectively embedding characters with
similar phenotypic features to the target population in interactive health video game narratives is likely to be
important in motivating children in obesity prevention and intervention.
Storytelling Networks and Immigrant Political Socialization: A Communication Resource-Based Model, Wenlin Liu,

Presented at the following event:

6533. Media, Migrants, and Diaspora
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Past studies on immigrant political socialization have predominately focused on micro-level individual characteristics
but rarely consider how communication resources at the level of local community could facilitate or hinder this
process. Guided by the Communication Infrastructure Theory (CIT), this study empirically examines the relationship
between individual immigrants’ connection to the neighborhood storytelling networks and their political socialization
outcome, the level of civic participation. Using the Alhambra Survey Data 2010, this study finds that intensity of
interpersonal storytelling and individual immigrants’ connection to community organizations significantly predicts
their participation level, whereas connection to local media does not exert the influence. Finally, this study compares
the results across three ethnic groups and discusses its implications.

5524. A New Era of Strategic Communication? How New Insights Into Decision-Making, Data Mining, and
Algorithms Have Changed Persuasion
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper asks: How are strategic communication practices used by advertising supported social network services to
create, organize, package and value audiences? Drawing on interviews with advertising industry stakeholders, surveys
with social media users, documentary analysis and economic modeling, this paper analyzes the structure and
functioning of the advertising-funded social media sector and the process through which advertising-supported social
networking services use strategic communication practices to commodify the time, labor, tacit knowledge and
personal relationships of users. It is argued that social networking services do indeed offer highly compelling tools to
the persuasion industry. Yet, this paper also examines the contradictory views and understandings expressed by
advertisers and users alike about the effectiveness of various communication strategies aimed at consumer persuasion
and about the normative implications of the commodity value of the social media audience. In conclusion, this paper
makes the case that the political economy of advertising-supported social networking constitutes a fluid and rapidly
evolving space in which the only clear winners are- at present- the social networking firms themselves.

8235. State- and Suprastate-Sponsored Strategic Communication II: Case Studies in Success and Failure
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The “Global War on Terror” commenced with President Bush’s address to a joint session of Congress on September
20, 2001. Following seven years of the Bush Administration’s War on Terror, Barack Obama came into office in
January 2009 and on his first day in office, issued a series of executive orders which were intended to distance the
new administration from Mr. Bush’s and to communicate a new approach to confronting terrorism. This paper
considers both administrations’ counterterrorism words and deeds in the enactment of their policies. It examines the
complex interplay between counterterrorism policy goals and actions, the strategic communication about goals and
actions, and the effects of the goals, actions, and strategic communication on the domestic and international audiences
to whom they are directed. It makes an argument for the need to include counterterrorism behaviors as an important
component within the construction of strategic diplomacy endeavors.
Strategic Government Communication for Cancer Prevention and Control: Reaching and Influencing Vulnerable
Audiences, Gary L. Kreps, George Mason U

Presented at the following event:

8235. State- and Suprastate-Sponsored Strategic Communication II: Case Studies in Success and Failure
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Strategic government health communication efforts can help reduce cancer risks, incidence, morbidity and mortality,
and improve quality of life for at-risk populations. However, providing relevant and motivating information about
cancer prevention and control to vulnerable populations is fraught with difficulties and demands strategic
communication. Just the ability to get members of at-risk populations to pay attention to information provided about
cancer can be a challenge. Most people do not want to hear or think about cancer unless they are forced into it
because they or someone they care about has been diagnosed with some form of the dreaded disease. Since the term
“cancer” is surrounded by a significant stigma in modern society that equates cancer with death and suffering,
communication about cancer makes many people uncomfortable, forcing them to think about their potential to suffer
and die. Strategic government cancer prevention and control education efforts and communication campaigns need to
be carefully designed, implemented, and evaluated to overcome the pervasive social stigma that influences public
attitudes towards cancers.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The aim of this study is to provide some insights into the strategic management of public relations activities and
involvement of public relations practitioners in the dominant coalition in Italy across the profit, public and non-profit
sectors. The study is, thus, based on those generic principles of excellent public relations proposed by Vercic, J.
Grunig and L. Grunig (1996) and developed from the findings of the Excellence Project (Grunig, 1992) that focus on
the strategic orientation of public relations. By using a conceptual framework and research instruments that have been
employed in other studies around the world, it is possible to obtain results that can be comparatively meaningful and
thus contribute to the body of knowledge in global public relations.
Strategies for Home-Based Teleworkers: Managing the Work-Home Boundary and Attaining Work-Life Balance,

Presented at the following event:

8241. Creating Better Workplaces: Flexibility, Balance, and Well-Being
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Home-based telework arrangements afford flexibility and autonomy that may create tension between work and home
domains. This paper offers a qualitative analysis of the open-ended responses of home-based teleworkers (N = 141)
regarding the challenges of balancing being “at work” and “at home,” and their proposed strategies for teleworking
effectively and attaining work-life balance. Findings indicate that teleworkers’ greatest challenges are associated with
integration of the work-home boundary and their proposed strategies focus on segmentation of this boundary. The
paper concludes with specific recommendations that would enable teleworkers to segment work and home domains
while maintaining permeability of the work-home boundary in order to achieve the maximum benefit of the remote
work arrangement.
Structural Equation Models of Young Chinese Consumers’ Viral E-mail Attitudes, Intents, and Behavior, Hongwei

Presented at the following event:

6154. Motive and Intent for Technology Use
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

A paper survey of Chinese college students was conducted to explore young Chinese consumers’ viral email attitude,
intent and behavior based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, Technology Acceptance Model, and Palka et al.’s
(2009) viral model. Structural equation modeling and backward regression results show that subjective norm,
perceived pleasure and cost predicted their viral marketing attitudes. Their perceived utility, pleasure, subjective
norm, viral marketing attitudes, SES and age predicted their intent to forward entertaining messages. Their mavenism,
attitudes, utility and pleasure predicted their intent to forward useful messages. Their email forwarding behavior is
determined by their mavenism, forwarding intents, attitudes, income, age, gender and control. The implications for the
industry and academia are discussed.
Structuring Dis/Ability: “Needs Talk” and the Communicative Constitution of Reasonable Accommodation, James
Michael Fortney, U of Colorado

Presented at the following event:

7452-21. Organizational Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

According to Putnam and Nicotera (2009), “CCO is first and foremost a collection of perspectives about grounding
the role of communication in the ontology of an organization” (p. 1). By considering reasonable accommodation and
its role in shaping how we talk about accommodating disability, my analysis speaks to CCO’s goals of addressing how
complex communication processes constitute both organizing (i.e., “How do we determine what is ‘reasonable’?”) and
organization (i.e., “How does reasonable accommodation structure dis/ability in organizations?”) and how these
processes and outcomes reflexively shape interability communication in organizations (Putnam & Nicotera, 2009).
What emerges from this process is an ableist organizational ontology, constituted by the discourse of reasonable
accommodation.

6221. The Intersection of Instructional Communication and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Collaboration is an integral part of the young filmmaker’s skill set, generating innovative creative content and
efficient production processes. However, university screen production curriculums, resulting from standard western-
style film techniques and crew roles, do not consider contemporary global issues which impact on the team
collaboration and conflict-resolution. This paper examines student collaborative practice in screen production courses
in Singapore and Australia. Of particular interest, was how the Australian curriculum, originally designed for
graduates of a western liberal higher education system, would translate to a culturally diverse group of students in
Asia. The study hypothesized that students in Asia would adopt an eastern collective collaborative style and students
in Australia would adopt a western individualistic collaborative style. The results suggest that globalisation has had a
significant impact on film making practices, and that future curriculum planning should more clearly articulate these
global collaborative practices.
Student Perceptions of Constructivist Concepts in Classes Using <i>Second Life</i>, Kevin Westmoreland Bowers,

Presented at the following event:

5335. Social Presence and Online Experiences for Faculty and Students
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The purpose of this study was to identify constructivist concepts that were important to student-perceived learning
outcomes in college courses that use Second Life as an educational tool. Identification of these concepts will help
instructors to make the best use of their course design efforts in mediated environments. Subsequently, this will
benefit students by matching the learning environment to students’ learning needs and potential preferences. This
study used a web-based survey asking respondents to give their perceptions of how their experience in a class using
Second Life as an instructional tool represented several constructivist learning concepts. Their responses were
compared to how they felt about several different learning outcomes. The results indicate that authentic learning
context is a major factor in all of the student-perceived learning outcomes measured in this study, while student
responsibility and initiative is important to academic learning time and learning progress.

the New Communication Environment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Among mainstream media outlets in the United States and elsewhere, investigative journalism has declined from a
staple of the news enterprise to an increasingly rare luxury. Traditional news staffs are under enormous pressure;
economic cutbacks have decimated reporting ranks, particularly among those whose experience makes them
expensive, and the production of continuously updated content for multiple platforms saps virtually all of the time and
energy from those who remain. Although elite national outlets continue to safeguard some resources for investigative
projects, local investigative journalism is scarce and becoming scarcer. These changes, coupled with the free and open
online publishing platform, have created opportunities for student journalists not just to gain experience and beef up
their resumes but also to provide a valuable service to the public in the process. Across the country, a growing number
of journalism schools are hosting or otherwise supporting non-profit centers for investigative journalism staffed
primarily by students. Some are backed by foundation money, such as the various News21 projects funded by the
Knight Foundation. Others rely on donor support or on “in-kind” contributions, for instance of office space and
equipment, from the university. Some have formed partnerships with legacy media outlets, while others are creating
their own brand identity. All are fostering entrepreneurial as well as journalistic skills among student reporters and
editors. And all are producing and publishing in-depth, multimedia investigations of important issues that otherwise
would go unreported. This panel presentation will explore the implications of this development for students,
universities, the media industry and society.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper discusses recurring conceptual and methodological issues in the study of ethnic minorities’ media uses. It
does so by drawing on research experiences in different national contexts (Israel, Switzerland and Belgium), looking
for similarities but also differences related to the specific national contexts as well as the research designs and the
ethnic groups involved. Starting from a broad reflection on the very issue of ethnicity, the paper subsequently tackles
issues such as the operational definition of ethnicity in ethnic labels, qualitative sampling procedures, language use
and problems of translation. We also reflect on personal research experiences, including problems of intercultural
communication and emotional involvement in the research matter. By comparing national contexts and research
experiences, we find recurring issues with specific national inflections, making us more aware of the specificity of
ethnic matters in different contexts. While self-reflection and methodological critique are important, we also plead for
pragmatism in research on ethnic minorities’ media use, which we think greatly matters.

Appreciation in Pulitzer Prize-Winning Stories, Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Cardiff U

Presented at the following event:

5328. Professional Expertise and Subjective Emotionality in News Work
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper studies the role of subjectivity in journalism, investigating the ways in which it underwrites a strategic
ritual of emotionality -- an institutionalized and systematic practice of journalists infusing their reporting with
emotion. The paper draws on Pulitzer Prize-winning articles between 1995 and 2011. A coding scheme for a basic
content analysis is developed on the basis of discourse analytic approaches associated with appraisal theory. The
analysis indicates that the analyzed stories rely heavily on subjective language in the form of appraisals which
necessitate a more careful consideration of the epistemology of award-winning journalism.
Subjectivity in Media Source Perception: Fox News Versus NPR, KyuJin Shim, Syracuse U

6328. Probing the "Realities" of Media Bias and its Link to Content and Perceptions
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

The purpose of this study is to explore the link between political affinity and source credibility perception through the
cases of Fox News and NPR. This study combines the Q methodology, focus group interviews, and survey research to
investigate the interaction of audience and source in shaping the credibility of a media source. Three influencing
factors in Fox News credibility perception were identified: bias perception, expertise perception, and quality
perception. Two influencing factors in NPR credibility perception were identified: believability perception and bias
perception. Liberals tend to perceive bias of Fox News but believability of NPR. Reversely, conservatives tend to
perceive the expertise and quality of Fox News yet bias of NPR. However, it is indicated that the credibility
perception of NPR is more consistent, being less influenced by political affinity than Fox News.
Success and Failure in Strategic Communication: Indonesian and Singaporean Responses to Islamist Terror, Chris

8235. State- and Suprastate-Sponsored Strategic Communication II: Case Studies in Success and Failure
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper compares the responses of the Singaporean and Indonesian governments to acts associated with terrorism:
the escape of Mas Selamat bin Kastari from a Singaporean prison in February of 2008, and the killing of Malaysian
terrorist Noordin M. Top in Indonesia in September 2009. In the former case, the Singaporean government bungled its
response to the escape, its strategic communication was viewed as untrustworthy, and the population’s response was
critical of the government’s efforts to explain the escape and rally support for the ensuing manhunt. In the latter case,
the Indonesian government spread false rumors about the dead terrorist’s sexuality, which went viral on the internet
and led to extremists distancing themselves from what was one of the highest ranking members of their group. These
cases are instructive for showing not only how the content of the message is important, but also the medium.

Presented at the following event:

5550. Online Experiences and Behaviors
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The study analyzes 1) whether search expertise, prior topic knowledge, topic interest and flow experience during a
search process in the WWW influence the success in finding relevant information and 2) if the effects of these
predictors vary during the course of the search process. Two different search tasks are investigated: The selection task
focuses on the selection of relevant websites out of an overload of potentially relevant websites. The finding task
focuses on the difficulty of finding information because of a lack of potentially relevant websites. Data from a quasi-
experiment are analyzed with a survival analysis which takes into account not only the question whether but also
when information is found. Findings show that search expertise and flow explain success in the selection task. But
flow is only influential in the first phase of the search process. For the finding task, the predictors do not show any
explanation strength.

Presented at the following event:

5529. Health Content in Mediated Contexts: Intended and Unintended Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study analyzed the content of sunscreen advertisements in five major U.S. parenting magazines with high
circulation: Family Circle, Parents, Family Fun, Parenting (Early Years) and Parenting (School Years). The study
examined how sunscreen advertisements promote parents’ sunscreen use for themselves or for their children and what
the advertisements tell parents about sunscreen usage and skin cancer prevention, based on the Health Belief Model
concepts of perceived benefits and perceived barriers. Results showed that the most commonly mentioned benefit of
the product was that it blocks UVA rays as well as UVB rays. One-third of the ads promoted the products’
effectiveness in overcoming four of the barriers that prevent people from using sunscreens: eye and skin irritation, an
unpleasant smell and the need to re-apply sunscreen too often or after physical activity. However, only a few of the
ads provided information about the consequences of unprotected sun exposure or mentioned methods of sun
protection or skin cancer prevention other than sunscreen use. We discuss the implications of these messages for
parents’ ability to understand correctly how to protect their children from damaging sun exposure.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Almost half of online health information seekers read not only the main health message but also comments toward the
message. Researchers have found that reading online comments toward a message influence the processing of that
message. Based on the attitude accessibility theory and in the context of reading a news story on the cigarette graphic
warning policy, this study aims to further examine whether and how information presented in online comments makes
health vs. political attitudes more accessible, and thus affects attitudes toward the health policy. This is first explored
using data collected from a naturalist context—actual anonymous online comments toward the health policy news
stories (Study 1). To further explore the interactive nature of political and health attitudes of individuals, and to
specify the underlying processing mechanism, a follow-up online experiment is conducted (Study 2).

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper critically discusses Putnam’s hypothesis on the destructive impact of TV and particularly of entertainment
programs on societies’ social capital. We contend that there is a lack of differentiation and complexity in Putnam’s
argumentation. Our perspective differs with regard to media content when analyzing effects of media use on social
capital. Understanding social capital as a multi-level concept, we examined the impact of the media system on social
capital. We used individual data from the European Social Survey (ESS) in combination with national data on media
structures and performed multi-level analyses. Our results show that internet use and informational media use increase
social capital. Moreover, societies benefit from an open, free and pluralistic media system as it supports the
production of social capital. In sum, we argue for a disassociation from a culturally pessimistic, one-sided point of
view when discussing media effects. For today’s societies, media rather implicate potentials than restrictions.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Fifty years ago, students in the Free Speech Movement protested on American campuses over university contracts
with military and corporate interests. Today, students on U.S. campuses are largely quiet about the threat of a
corporate hegemony in many of our departments. Nowhere is the silence louder than in professional programs like
journalism, advertising and public relations. My presentation will provide a historical framework for examining my
own experiences as a critical scholar in a department strongly aligned with one of the big 5 media giants. Those
experiences included denial of tenure and promotion in a case where administrators cited my critical teaching
“agenda.” More recently, a colleague and I were denied funding by a major media company when we refused to
conduct research to support its position against network neutrality. The environment created by neoliberalism in the
academy raises ethical, moral, intellectual and practical challenges and suggests an organized response. Carolyn
Byerly is professor of media studies in the Department of Journalism, Howard University, where she also serves on
the graduate faculty of the Mass Communication and Media Studies program. Her research addresses inequality in
media policy and industries, with respect to gender, race and nationality, and ways that activism can intervene. She is
a co-founder of the Howard Media Group, a multicultural collaborative of faculty and graduate students at her

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Sustaining the learning from training programs in remote field locations is difficult because face-to-face follow up is
expensive and logistically complicated. Virtual communities provide an attractive means to engage learners and
promote ongoing education. We describe our experience with a virtual community of public health professionals from
ten countries. The members of this community first received training from UNC’s Global Learning Program, an online
non-degree program designed to enhance the management skills of public health practitioners. They were then
enrolled into the community for continued skill development. Initial surveys reflected strong interest in the virtual
community, and packages of tailored content and assignments were provided for six months based on content
requested by the members. But participation was very poor. Subsequent surveys revealed gaps between members’
intent to participate, perceptions of participation and actual participation. Our conclusions are that creating
opportunities for follow-up alone are not enough to sustain learning.

7123. Disclosure and Privacy in Social Networking Sites
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Media in the present day society are characterized by an increasing degree of digitalization and of convergence
between mass communication and personal communication, leading up to so-called ‘mass self-communication’.
Through this process new platforms for acting and identity formation are brought to existence. Social network sites
(SNS) can be seen as an important fraction of mass self-communication, which are very prominent in the everyday life
of many adolescents in the Western World. Unfortunately, SNS are often contested for their lack of privacy they
present to their users. This paper aims to clarify the complex relationship between identity and privacy within the
population of adolescents on SNS, with the larger goal of developing social requirements in the creation of privacy
enhancing technologies (PETs). The theoretical framework of Symbolic Interactionism (SI) combined with a
qualitative ethnographic study was used to pin down this relationship.

This paper presents a model of the associations between media use, ethnolinguistic identity, and ethnolinguistic
vitality among minority Hungarian speakers living in Slovakia. Results of a cross-sectional survey study among high
school students demonstrate that identity influences the language in which television is watched, which in turn
influences perceptions of group vitality. The latter link is moderated by quantity of television use, such that it is
stronger among heavy television users. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of media use to minority
language group identity and survival.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Concerns have been raised about decreasing news consumption by younger generations and possible consequences for
political knowledge and involvement. This study analyzes trends of TV news consumption among young people in the
Netherlands and South Korea. Both countries have faced similar transformations from low-choice to high-choice
viewing environments. People-meter data at the individual viewer level from both countries offer precise and highly
similar exposure measures that are comparable across countries longitudinally. We study how increasing choice
opportunities have affected news consumption of young adults. The results show that young adults in both countries
have spent less time watching news with increasing competition in the TV markets. Moreover, the difference between
young and older viewers in TV news viewing has increased over time. Implications for the future relevance of
television as a news medium are discussed.

might be one reason for problems in the ‘working marked’ in Germany. On the basis of a career choice model links to
the cultivation hypothesis and accessibility effects caused by the mass media are outlined. A content analysis of TV
series shows that occupations from the criminalistics and the health sectors dominate the world of series in
combination with occupations in the hospitality sector and other services. Data from a survey of adolescents prove
correlations between TV use and estimations about the amount of employees in different occupations and that most
occupations which are overrepresented in the series are overrepresented in the career aspirations of the adolescents. In
addition, an effect of health related TV use on the accessibility of health related occupation was found which was
strongly related to corresponding career aspirations.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The present study investigates media performance in Germany and Austria as a function of their different media
market structures. Based on the SCP approach (Structure – Conduct – Performance), it compares the interrelations
between media market structures and national newspapers’ degree of tabloidization. Both countries’ structures differ
in several respects relevant for tabloidization processes: The market share of tabloids on the newspaper market and the
market share of private TV on the TV market. These structural characteristics as well as the publishing companies’
conduct (i.e., their self-concepts and strategies) are confronted with the media performance (i.e., the degree of
tabloidization). The results show the extraordinary characteristics of the Austrian media market and prove that the
media performance tends to be more shaped by the conduct than by the media structures. Altogether, the term “tabloid
journalism” seems to be understood differently in varying national contexts. In this respect, further research is
necessary.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The present study investigates whether the coverage on national parliamentary elections campaigns in German and
Austrian elite newspapers has actually become progressively tabloidized over the last six decades (1949 to 2006) or
not. Furthermore, it examines if possible tabloidization tendencies are related to changing media structures. The
concept of tabloidization assumes that tabloidization of elite media is caused by competition pressures on the media
markets by economically successful tabloids on the one hand, and commercial TV channels on the other hand. In these
respects, Germany and Austria vary widely: Tabloids are more dominant in Austria, while commercial TV channels
are more successful in Germany. However, the results show that there has been an increasing tabloidization only in
some respects, and it has not been very strong. Where tabloidization trends can be found, they seem to be related to
the dominant tabloids in Austria and to the introduction of commercial TV in Germany.

This study investigates the efficacy of an online medical forum, the National Scoliosis Forum Foundation (NSFF).
Quantitative and qualitative data was gathered through content analysis of 36 thread topics aggregating 499 posts,
posted by 87 members within one month. The findings revealed that while the users of NSFF share their medical
information (including severity of condition and experience with pain and various treatments) as well as actively
provide feedback to one another’s post (97% of threads received responses from other members), the forum failed to
support teen use, i.e. the participation is dominated by adults. Therefore the platform does not encourage participation
by the demographic most afflicted by Scoliosis, adolescents. Provoking some hope, the results show that despite less
involvement from teen members, there is a more consistent readership both of adolescent authors and within the
adolescent forum. This would indicate an interest and a demand for such patient forums.

5229. ICT-Based Health Interventions Against Cyberbullying Amongst Youngsters
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This paper is based on data from a study amongst 600 Polish teachers who filled in a semi-structured questionnaire
concerning their experiences with cyberbullying and other forms of electronic aggression amongst students. The
respondents were asked to describe the cases they had been confronted with in detail, as well as the actions that had
(consequently) been undertaken. Additionally, teachers’ perceptions about the effectiveness of these actions were
measured. This (qualitative) study reveals what important “intermediairies” (i.e. teachers) regard as (potentially)
(in)effective (ICT-related and more “traditional”) methods and techniques for dealing with cyberbullying (such as
apologizing to victims online in SNS or organizing educational workshops using ready packages produced by
Nobody’s Children Foundation). While these “perceptions” can inspire researchers interested in testing the (real)
effectiveness of several anti-bullying approaches, they also form a reality for those health intervention specialists who
want to develop a school-based anti-cyberbullying approach.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

When immigration authorities deny family reunions, the applicants sometimes turn to the media to appeal their case in
public. Often, this results in a particular type of news story that focuses on tragic consequences of rejection: families
are split up and children are left without a father or mother. Individuals are pitted against a faceless bureaucratic
power apparatus that insists on rigid regulations. This paper focuses on how immigration authorities handle this
situation by using a novel approach to framing contests. First, we analyze the issue of frames – the frame used by the
media and the counter frame constructed by the authorities tied to family reunion cases. Second, the media strategies
of the authorities are analyzed as driven by a media relations frame. That is, the paper is focused on how authorities
meet tears through the construction of a counter frame, the problem definition, the interpretation of the causality, the
moral evaluation and the treatment recommendation that underlies the media strategies themselves.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is a global nonprofit public health organization working to strengthen health
systems and improve access to services. MSH is committed to knowledge sharing as critical to improved program
impact. Technical Exchange Networks (TENs), created at MSH in 2009, are one meaningful and dynamic way for
MSH staff to share their technical expertise with their colleagues. Given our technical experts are dispersed across the
globe, we facilitate asynchronous discussions via list serves and host virtual events in which an expert presents a
technical topic and then answers questions asked by other TEN members. Since we work in developing countries, our
reliance on technology to connect us in low-bandwidth countries is frequently the main challenge. Currently MSH
hosts 6 Technical Exchange Networks on the Public Health topics of Malaria, HIV/AIDs, Family Planning, Maternal
Newborn Child Health, and Fragile States.

A laboratory study explored how the fit between technology affordances and task features affected task group
communication behaviors and member perceptions within the 3-D immersive virtual environment Second Life. Three
kinds of tasks – a socially-oriented discussion, a problem-solving discussion, and problem-solving through object
manipulation were examined. Linguistic style matching and group member reactions to technology and group
processes were lowest for the social discussion task, and highest for the problem-solving discussion task. Detailed
interaction data were examined qualitatively to illuminate these patterns. Results are discussed in terms of task
complexity and ambiguity, and implications for future research on task-technology fit.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This study explores the relationship between the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and
attributions of expertise in two different public relations agencies. Drawing on Status Characteristics Theory the paper
suggests that the use of mundane, widely diffused ICTs may led to different forms of attributions of expertise than
those resulting from use of novel ICTs in organizations. Data from interviews and observations at both organizations
revealed that mundane technology use led to attributions relating to the general level of expertise of workers, and use
of novel technologies led to attributions of a specialist type of expertise. Additionally findings revealed that both
generalist and specialist experts were afforded more influence in organizational practices. Implications for theory
related to the communication of expertise and the use of technology in organizations is discussed.

This study examines teenagers’ perceptions of sexting in order to better understand why some engage in this behavior
and its social implications. The study draws from open-ended questionnaires completed by fifty-one adolescents who
participated in six focus groups around the U.S. Teens expressed a fear that sexting might lead to reputational
damage, but perceived norms and outcome expectancies (e.g., social approval) exerted pressures that led some to sext
regardless. These pressures were especially intense for girls. The data also revealed the presence of a sexual double
standard: while boys were virtually immune from criticism for their sexting practices, boys described both girls who
did sext and girls who did not in harsh terms (e.g., “slut,” “prude”). These data offer insight into why teens sext in
spite of an awareness of potential negative consequences for this behavior.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Although the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, studies of international telecommunications network in
past years have identified asymmetrical flows of linkages between different regions of network, dominated by the
wealthy developed countries. This study examines such inequality in the structure of international telecommunications
and its socio-economic determinants. The communication imbalances were measured by the country-specific traffic
balance, the difference between incoming calls and outgoing calls, which reflects both the empirical call volume and
the direction. The net outflows of information, as opposed to net inflows, are likely to be an evidence of control and
dominance over the information within the network. The analysis of 174 nations revealed that the communication
imbalances were influenced by trade imbalances and GDP per capita. In addition, the interaction effects showed that a
nation’s level of democracy was a significant predictor of communication imbalances among the core nations. The
influence of economic development on imbalances was significant for the core but not for the countries at the
periphery. Altogether, the results supported the Galtung’s (1971) Structural Theory that international communication
reflects unequal power relationships in worldwide information exchanges. Possible interpretations of the results and
future studies are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

In the 1990s, an ambitious group of politicians, businesses, hospitals, universities and doctors in North Carolina
wanted to do what many had seen on Star Trek: teleport. They did not want to teleport themselves, though. They
wanted to beam medical expertise, medical images and diagnoses through an “information highway” of fiber-optic
cables crisscrossing the Tar Heel state. It had been done in other states, and the practice of using telecommunications
technology to relay important medical information was more than a century old. Nonetheless, questions remained.
Would other doctors, the public, insurance companies and businesses accept this innovation, or would they mourn the
loss of the human touch in medicine? This paper examines the coverage of telemedicine in seven major regional
newspapers in North Carolina during the 1990s.

Scholars have examined the phenomenon of telepresence, a perceptual illusion of nonmediation experienced by media
users, in a wide variety of contexts. This paper explores telepresence theory and research in the rarely examined but
important context of sexually arousing media content. After defining key concepts, the paper presents reasons scholars
should study telepresence in the context of sexuality, reviews the evolution of relevant media technologies and the
nature of relevant telepresence responses, and considers potential theoretical contributions and avenues for future
research in interpersonal communication, media studies and presence scholarship.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

An experiment was conducted with 153 children to test whether exposure to a relationally aggressive portrayal
resulted in a hostile attributional bias. Children were randomly assigned to watch a clip containing physical
aggression, relational aggression or no aggression. After exposure, children were asked to respond to a series of
provocation scenarios, where an actor caused some form of harm (e.g., physical or relational) to a target person, but
the intent of the provocateur was ambiguous. Five of the situations described physical provocations and five of the
stories depicted relational provocations. Results revealed that exposure to relationally aggressive portrayals resulted
in a hostile attributional bias in response to relationally aggressive scenarios, particularly among females.
Corroborating past research, this study also found that exposure to physically aggressive portrayals was associated
with a hostile attributional bias in response to physically aggressive scenarios. Moreover, these biases were shown to
be specific to the exposure condition (physical or relational) and not simply associated with exposure to aggression in
general. The findings are discussed in terms of children’s social information processing.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Channel abundance in television markets has led to media and audience fragmentation. Media houses have responded
strategically by targeting specialized content at audience niches. This paper inquires if such strategies, have further
polarized these already fragmented viewers into gated communities. To raise evidence, channel repertoires based on
accumulated viewing time of individual viewers are produced from People Meter data in raw data form. As
preferential combinations and ranked concentration of attention, these channel repertoires allow for detailed
comparisons to be made within and between families, subsets of audiences, and total audiences. Results from one
decade of Swedish audience transformation indicate that what operates beneath the veneer of fragmentation is a
centrifugal force of polarization gradually dispersing the audience throughout the ’referential space’ constituted by
television.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Entertainment television in India has been a crucial domain for understanding the relationship between media and
middle class identities. However, scholars have tended to focus on the period following economic liberalization
(1991-) when the television landscape shifted from being defined by the state broadcaster to a multi-channel
environment. Further, this body of scholarship has tended to focus on the issue of ideological interpellation. Not
surprisingly, then, there are no sustained analyses of television comedies despite their immense popularity. This paper
focuses on the first locally produced sitcom – Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (YJHZ, That's Life, 1984) – as a way to broaden our
understanding of television’s role in the making of a “national” and modern middle class public. Exploring YJHZ
through the lens of affect and embodiment, I argue that laughing at and with the show’s characters was crucial for
audiences striving to carve out a zone of comfort in a new phase of modernity.

6340. Fields of Production: Logics and Practices of the Media Industries
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper discusses two trends in the debates about contemporary television journalism. Firstly, journalism is said to
be increasingly subsumed an economic logic, privileging entertainment before serious journalistic practices. Most
often this is framed as if entertainment is eating its way into serious journalism, affecting it negatively and thus being
detrimental for the political public sphere and political reasoning. Secondly, it is often pointed to a changed relation
between journalism and politicians, where the latter have lost some of their power, for example political debates. This
paper relates these two trends and argue, against a field model inspired by Bourdieu, that it is not entertainment that is
eating its way into journalism, but the other way around: Rather than having been absorbed by entertainment,
journalism has differentiated, become more autonomous as a sub-field of cultural production, and has gradually come
to dominate both factual and entertainment television.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

As has been widely documented in the social sciences, issues of gender equality and representation were continually
deferred by socialist states and cultural elites as unimportant compared to the perpetual questions of national
sovereignty and economic survival. The post-socialist transformations have stirred up a new wave of backlash against
feminist questions. At the same time, the region has undergone a thorough media globalization in the past two
decades. The importation of post-feminist media products, predominantly on television, has put in circulation certain
pseudo-feminist and post-feminist ideas, which link ideas of empowerment with the right kind of consumption and the
display of sexuality. I discuss unscripted television as the main gendered battlefield, where sinking cultural quality
and the gendered quality are tied together within national cultures in crisis. A comparison with Anglo-American post-
feminist television brings a new perspective to some of the established assumptions within theories of post-feminism
and the media.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In the past 50 years, more than 40 countries have created truth and reconciliation commissions to deal with historical
atrocities and injustices. A critical step in this process is the gathering of witness testimonies. The stories of these
witnesses are then appropriated and re-told as “cautionary tales,” with the intention of preventing future atrocities. But
what happens when these stories are told outside of their original context? Iconic photographs are perfect examples of
how individual stories come to symbolize much more than the subject’s individual experience. This paper takes as an
example one victim’s story and how his image was used by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru to
visually represent two decades of political violence. It looks at the role of photography in the reconciliation process
and what happens when the subjects of those photographs speak for themselves.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The normative concept of peace journalism has increasingly received scholarly attention in recent years, but few
efforts have been made to investigate journalistic perceptions of reporters involved in crisis reporting in terms of war
versus peace journalism. This study therefore presents the results of one of the first surveys conducted to examine
perceptions of journalists involved in conflict reporting. Thus, from a theoretical perspective, this work seeks to
develop the work of Galtung (1986) and other scholars investigating war and peace journalism. Particularly, the
researchers expand on the work of Johan Galtung via a quantitative survey of journalistic perceptions. On the basis of
an on-line survey of worldwide members of The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, it was found that journalists
rather follow the norms of peace journalism as opposed to war journalism. Professional experience – based on length
of stay and number of countries visited to provide on-site coverage of conflicts – and demographic profile –based on
political ideology – were positively associated with adherence to norms representative of peace journalism. It was also
found that reporters who are most familiar with Middle East conflicts were more likely than others to frame their news
reports using war journalism criteria. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study explores effects of temporal distance on representation and evaluation of health behaviors. Using Construal
Level Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior as complementary frameworks, the authors examined temporal
frame effects on valence and predictive ability of beliefs about eating fruits and vegetables and beliefs about condom
use. Consistent with propositions from Construal Level Theory, the authors found that temporal perspective
(performing the behavior tomorrow or in 5 years) shifted importance of behavioral antecedents, such that behavioral
intent in the proximal time condition was mostly determined by the feasibility considerations, whereas behavioral
intent in the distant time condition was mostly driven by desirability aspects of the behavior. The results further
suggest that this temporal effect is moderated by the source of behavior knowledge.

Understanding determinants of selective exposure to health information is crucial for health communication
campaigns. Building on similarities between the extended parallel process model (Witte, 1994), the risk perception
attitude framework (Rimal & Real, 2003), and the informational utility model (Knobloch-Westerwick, 2008), this
investigation examined how message perceptions affect selective exposure to news about a currently experienced
health issue (stress). Participants, of which three-quarters reported current thoughts about stress, could select to read
an article about stress, embedded with other news articles. Message characteristics of efficacy (low vs. high), three
other informational utility dimensions (magnitude, likelihood, immediacy) along with their intensity (low vs. high)
were manipulated in a 2 x 3 x 2 design. High topic salience (current thoughts), high immediacy, low magnitude, and
low efficacy fostered longer exposure.

Three different models for the effect of source expertise on attitude change, the heuristic cue model, the evidence
model, and the moderator model, were identified and tested. To test predictions from those models, the effect of
source expertise on attitude change and perceived message-effectiveness were examined with different number of
supporting arguments and different levels of task importance. The main findings are that for low task-importance, as
the number of supporting arguments increased, perceived message-effectiveness increased then stabilized, and for
high task-importance, as the number of supporting argument increased, the greater perceived message-effectiveness
but the difference in perceived message-effectiveness becomes greater between high and low source expertise. The
evidence model and the moderator model received some support.

In advancing research on leader-member exchange, we propose a multi-level model in which cooperative

communication mediates interpersonal exchange relationships and group cohesion. With a sample of 375 manager-
employee dyads working in 48 groups in Malaysia, we tested the model by using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).
We found that, the individual variables of leader-member exchange (LMX, measured by dyadic agreement) and team-
member exchange (TMX) positively predicted cooperative communication at the group level. Further, group
cooperative communication positively predicted perceived group cohesion. Most importantly, cooperative
communication mediated the relationship between LMX and perceived group cohesion and the relationship between
TMX and perceived cohesion. These findings validated the proposed model and, in particular, the central role of
communication in leader-member exchange processes in workgroups is empirically confirmed.

The effects of media use and talks/interpersonal conversation have been established as positive on civil and political
participatory behaviors (Kim, Wyatt & Katz, 1999; Scheufele, 2000; Wyatt, Katz & Kim, 2000). Recent mobile
communication research suggests that informational uses of the cell phone were linked to increased involvement in
civic and political life in the U.S. (Campbell & Kwak, 2010, 2011). Thanks to its converged functionalities, the cell
phone equips individuals to be more engaged citizens. Building on this line of research, this study examines the
influence of smart phone use on political discourse engagement in China, which boasts the world’s largest cell phone
population of nearly 700 million. The broad aim of this study is to explore the implications of widely adopted smart
phones for civil and political life in a cell-phone saturated society where media control is tight and the access of
online information is restricted. Public engagement and deliberation play key roles in democratic societies. The
increasingly affluent Chinese middle class aspires for civic engagement through a process of public deliberation about
major political and social issues. Specifically, this study will examine—theoretically and empirically—the role of
controlled official media vis-à-vis unrestricted mobile communication technologies such as mass texting and mobile
tweeting in generating political talks and discursive participation. I will address these questions: How do Chinese
citizens break the information control and make unsanctioned news and info available to themselves via mass testing?
What is the role of mobile tweeting in creating space for public engagement and interaction outside of official
control? Using data collected from a probability sample of 416 respondents randomly drawn from Beijing, China’s
capital, the study will shed light on these questions concerning the role of smart phones in China’s ongoing social
changes. Results of multivariate analysis indicate that use of official controlled media was a negative correlate of
frequency of talking politics with others, whereas exposure to news on the smart phone and use of mass texting were
positive correlates of political talks. Furthermore, hierarchical regression analysis shows that political talks,
combined with experience in using smart phone and mobile tweeting, were positive predictors of discourse
engagement online after the influences of demographics and political efficacy were controlled. References Campbell,

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Research on the role of texts in organizational change highlights their capacity to fix meaning temporarily (Anderson,
2004, 2005; Czarniawaska & Joerges, 1996). In this paper, we argue that texts are authoritative agents (Brummans,
2007; Cooren, 2004) and actively participate in the production of change. Based on an in-depth study of Koumbit, a
small Canadian nonprofit organization that promotes the use of free and open source software, we show how texts
authorize associations between sets of actors by stabilizing existing associations and altering them or creating new
ones because they contain the “germs” or “seeds” of change. In other words, once meaning has become temporally
fixed in texts (not only documents, but also rules, procedures, etc.), they also force people to consider what they do
not say. By calling out for their own interrogation and “deconstruct[ing] themselves by themselves” (Derrida, 1986, p.
123) they thus constrain and enable change.

Most of us live in neighborhoods, a common term used by members of local social groups to identify themselves. The
borders of these neighborhoods are often imagined by municipal neighborhood boundaries maps, which also serve as
community mapping tools for the municipality, as well as local business owners and organizations. But despite the
prominence of these municipal mappings, they often do not offer a way to conceptualize, on a large scale, the real-life
borders of neighborhoods as understood by their members. These maps ignore the live nature of neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods are social groups that are ever-evolving, expanding or contracting in their perimeters, changing their
demographic consistency because of immigration, and transforming local businesses offering based on economical
and infrastructure developments. In this study we introduce a new framework to the mapping of local social groups
borders based on preliminary results from an analysis of a 4 month long dataset of users' check-ins on foursquare, a
location-based social network (approximately 11 million check-ins, in total). For the purpose of this research, we
developed a measure of socio-geographic proximity between the places that people check-in and applied spectral
clustering techniques to group the places based on this proximity. The procedure produced a set of groups that we call
"Live Neighborhoods." Based on these data we also created a dynamic visual representation that exemplifies the
"Livehoods" borders and compared them to the municipal ones. Grounded on the results of this study, we argue that
our new mapping model provides a more accurate way to understand local social group boundaries according to
shared purposes, interests and practices. By reading into these "Live Neighborhoods," we offer a new lens for the
study of location-based social network usage and raise question sin regard to the utilization of big data methods to the
study of local interactions.
The "Other Disaster": Social Toxicity as a Source of Uncertainty and Trauma in Communities Experiencing a Slow-
Motion Technological Disaster, Rebecca J. Cline, Kent State U; Heather Orom, U of Buffalo

Presented at the following event:

7154. Uncertainty and Community in the Context of Disasters
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Lincoln County, Montana has the highest per capita asbestosis mortality rate of all U.S. counties. Like Love Canal,
Libby represents “a different kind of disaster” (Levine, 1982). Slow-motion technological disasters (SMTDs) are on
the rise. Nearly half of the U.S. population lives within a 10-mile radius of designated/proposed Superfund sites.
Using focus group and population-based survey results, we developed a model for understanding the role of the
community's social environment in psychosocial responses of victims’ whose health has been compromised by a
SMTD. Our composite findings suggest that intra-community conflict, stigma, and resulting diminished/failed social
support comprise a toxic social environment. This creates social uncertainties in addition to the numerous health and
risk uncertainties and information challenges associated with the disaster. These social uncertainties independently
contribute to the trauma experienced by victims who have asbestos-related diseases.

In this content analysis, we examined the prevalence and context of violence in Web-based entertainment. Youtube
videos (N = 2,520) were collected in three different categories: most viewed, top rated, and random, with
considerations of amateur and professional content. We examined the prevalence of violence in the videos and, using
social cognitive theory as a guide, we also coded a variety of contextual variables that could influence the effects of
viewing violent content. The results showed that in general, there was far less violence as a percentage of
programming on Youtube than there is on television and violence was not predictive of either number of views or
evaluations of the content. Moreover, the violence that was present in the sample tended to show more realistic
consequences and to be presented in a more negative context than TV violence.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

How can we understand old school inequality within the framework of the new school digital cloud? In order to
understand what is “new” in new media, it is essential to return to some of our “old” theories, particularly those that
address broader structural and societal questions. Other disciplines, such as sociology, can help us understand these
frameworks. However, what’s missing in this social science discipline is an understanding of new(s) media and
structure. If both disciplines can learn from each other, we can better understand digital inequality beyond policy or
stopgap measures. Both structuralists and post-structuralists offer unique ways of understanding the “limits and
pressures” in digital production in a class-based political and economic system. These theoretical lenses also help us
to understand that limiting our research to the cloud greatly diminishes our ability to come up with robust empirical
findings when many people are not able to participate in the cloud. I argue that in a societal and structural context that
the newness of new media, even its more participatory functions, does not alter the existing power dynamics, which is
essential to understand theories of communication. I further argue that one of the effects of this media inequality is in
news media representation.

Presented at the following event:

6530. Consumer Activism from a Historical Perspective: Eight Decades and Counting…
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

In the 1930s, after a period of extreme activity, the advertising industry woke up to reality. Upset with advertisers’
practice of stressing beauty, glamour and success over information, a feisty consumer movement demanded corporate
accountability in the form of ads that provided fact and information and helped consumers make rational market
choices. By 1933, a bill to secure these demands and regulate advertising on a federal level had been proposed.
Determined to win in the courts of public opinion and on Capitol Hill, the advertising industry looked to the emerging
field of public relations for assistance. Working from within the system, armed with excellent knowledge of PR and
easy access to the mass media, advertisers were in an excellent position to promote their cause. The legislative
outcome was the Wheeler-Lea Amendment, a law that sanctioned the questionable advertising practices and continues
to do so till this day.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

The commercial landscape in the 1980s and 90s reflected business’ success in defeating activist gains made during the
previous decade. As a result of deregulation and new technologies, the 1980s saw a drastic increase in
commercialization of children’s television and schools, branding and promotion in public spaces, product placement,
and event sponsorship. The developments spurred organized activist efforts to slow the aggressive movement of
advertising’s presence in society and culture during the 1990s, attempts that had arguably varying degrees of success
and longevity. This presentation explores the passage of the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (partly a response to
licensing-based program-length commercials in children’s television) and efforts to remove the ad-supported
television system Channel One from schools. The 1990s also witnessed new forms of consumer resistance, including
consumer “pranking” inspired by Adbusters magazine and organization, a strategy highlighted in the best-selling No
Logo by Naomi Klein.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Consumers’ concern with (over) commercialism continued into the 21st century with one important change; a large
part of the political organizing had moved on-line. Using Yelp.com as an example, the final presentation explores the
frequently overlooked role of online communities as a relevant form of consumer resistance. Consumers use these
sites to engage in online flash mobs or to create relatively unfettered public discourse openly critical of global and
local businesses. Findings suggest that reviews intentionally articulate a positive bias towards local business as a
means of redirecting commercial flows away from corporate venues; however, “localism” is also rationalized in
economic terms and ultimately subsumed within its own brand logic. Instead of a platform for consumer activism,
localism is commodified and repackaged as a consumable aesthetic. By de-politicizing place, social media companies
like Yelp are effectively delimiting the political possibilities of online participatory cultures while undermining
Internet-based consumer activism generally.
The Accuracy of Self-Reports of Social Network Site Use: Comparing Survey Responses to Server Logs, Lauren

Presented at the following event:

8223. Understanding Media Users
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Researchers often rely on surveys to measure social network site (SNS) use; however, the accuracy of such self-
reports is unknown. This paper assesses the accuracy of self-reports of SNS activity by matching survey responses
with server log data from Facebook.com. Findings suggest that while large surveys can accurately estimate the
average size of SNS networks, self-reports tend to overestimate activities such as posting, commenting, liking, and
private messaging. Self-reported survey data was most accurate for those activities that are most commonly
performed. Less frequent users of the site displayed the lowest level of accuracy, reporting a propensity to perform
activities that was not reflected in the survey logs. These findings suggest a lack of understanding about the activities
being measured and/or a social desirability bias. Based on these findings we submit recommendations for ways in
which researchers can optimize the accuracy of their behavioral self-report measures of SNS activity.
The Active Issue Publics in the New Media Environment: Political Expression, Political Participation, and Internal
Political Efficacy, Hsuan-Ting Chen, U of Texas; Sun Ho Jeong, U of Texas; Homero Gil de Zuniga, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

5135. Online Political Participation
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

In recent studies, issue publics — referring to pluralistic groups of people who consider specific issues personally
important while paying little attention to others — have been used to argue against citizens’ decreasing competence.
This study aims to understand how issue public members contribute to overall citizen competence by exploring the
intersection of issue public membership, political expression, and political participation. Findings indicate this type of
citizen tends to be more engaged in political activities than non-issue public members. Further analyses suggested that
general political expression online and political expression on social network sites (SNSs) as active online behaviors
serve as mediators of the relationship between issue public membership and political participation. In addition,
internal political efficacy exerts a moderation effect between these two forms of political expression and political
participation among issue public members.

Individual Choice as Constrained by Social and Organizational Interactions, Steven P. Garry, Arizona State U

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Based on the interactive technology adoption model (TAM) a study is developed addressing Lin's proposition 5 for
areas needing future research concerning TAM and the adoption of new technology (Lin, 2003). The research focus
of this project builds on the idea that the strength of opinion leadership is predictive of adoption tendencies. The
TAM is used as a macro theoretical framework to explore the adoption of new technology (SNS – Social Network
Sites) in the organizational environment of television news media. Individual (employee) adoption of SNS is
examined by way of survey and interview data examining the dependent variable (adoption) and interactions with the
independent variables of opinion leadership and organizational policy. Rogers diffusion of innovations and Giddens
structuration theory are also used to inform the research and findings.

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Testimonies collected by the Israeli organization Breaking the Silence from soldiers participating in the Gaza war
provide a case study for examining the process and the effects of bearing witness by the aggressors. By analyzing the
testimonies and their media coverage the study concludes that although these testimonies were collected from soldiers,
there was no change in public discourse. Conversely, members of the organization were attacked by different
institutions, describing them as traitors.
The Al-Jazeera-Qatari Nexus: A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Al-Jazeera's Reporting Throughout the Qatari-
Saudi Crisis, Tal Samuel-Azran, The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya; Naama Pecht, IDC Herzliya

Presented at the following event:

7135. News, Conflicts, and Crisis
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The study examines whether an Al-Jazeera-Qatar nexus exists through a study of Al-Jazeera coverage of Saudi-Arabia
throughout the Qatari-Saudi crisis. Specifically, it aims to reveal whether Al-Jazeera Arabic and English websites
increased negative tone and reduced positive tone throughout the conflict in comparison to the pre- and post-conflict
periods. We found correlation between Al-Jazeera Arabic's articles tone and period of coverage, but no correlation
between Al-Jazeera English articles tone and conflict period. The comparative analysis between Al-Jazeera Arabic
and English reveled correlation during the conflict but no correlation during the post-conflict period, possibly because
Al-Jazeera Arabic increased neutrality and reduced criticism of Saudi Arabia during the post-conflict in a similar
manner to the Al-Jazeera English. The main contribution of the study, the first to examine Al-Jazeera output
throughout directly involves Qatar and thus forced Al-Jazeera to choose between high journalistic norms and Qatar's
foreign interests, is to illuminate the boundaries of Al-Jazeera Arabic's professionalism. The second contribution is to
strengthen former studies that claim for systematic differences between Al-Jazeera Arabic and English broadcasting
norms. Finally, the study posits Al-Jazeera as a reformist rather than a liberal network, as it indicates that Qatari
interests play a major role in its output.

Presented at the following event:

6627. Influences on News in China
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The ambiguity of memory means the absence of a clear contour of the past. It shows that there are conflicting interests
about whose memory should be remembered or forgotten. Socio-political memories are, therefore, inherently political
and ambiguous. This paper explores the discursive constructions of the past and collective/cultural memories of the
Asia-Pacific War that appeared in three East Asian newspapers from China, South Korea, and Japan. Using three
prominent topics of debate (politicians’ visits to Yasukuni Shrine, history textbook revisions, and the Comfort Women
issue) as guided entries to socio-political collective memory, this paper discusses newspaper representations of the
tragic memories. A critical discourse analysis was employed for newspaper texts. The analysis showed that the
construction of the sites of memory occurred in many ways, through ambiguous treatment, reification, naturalization,
exclusion, and appropriation of memory.

Presented at the following event:

5551. Advances in Relational Communication
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study investigated consequences and antecedents of rumination about a romantic relationship with the data of
122 college romantic partners (N = 61 dyads). Relationship-specific rumination was positively associated with
cognitive and emotional jealousy as well as depression. The relationship between rumination and depression was
stronger for men than for women. Rumination differently moderated associations between relationship quality and
cognitive and emotional jealousy. An extended actor-partner interdependence model identified that whereas males’
relational uncertainty was related to their own and their female partner’s rumination, females’ relational uncertainty
was associated only with their own rumination. In various ways, self-disclosure was positively and conflict avoidance
was negatively correlated with relational uncertainty. Finally, self-disclosure and conflict avoidance were found to be
indirectly associated with rumination through relational uncertainty.
The Architecture of Female Competition: Derogation of a Sexualized Female News Anchor, Maria Elizabeth Grabe,
Indiana U; Ozen Bas; Louis A. Pagano, U of North Dakota; Lelia Samson, Indiana U

Presented at the following event:

8220. Sex in Media: Content and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This paper succeeds an experimental investigation of news consumer responses to a sexualized and unsexualized
version of the same female news anchor. As reported elsewhere, male and female participants varied in how they
processed information presented by the two different embodiments of the anchor. Men remembered news presented
by the unsexualized anchor version better while women had higher memory scores for news presented by the
sexualized anchor. Evolutionary psychology offers explanations for why men may have been smitten by a sexualized
female news anchor but also prompted further investigation to explain the spike in women’s memory scores. To this
end, a follow-up examination of open-ended responses tested for derogation, a strong indicator of intrasexual
competition among women, and a possible explanation for women’s heightened cognitive investment in what the
sexualized anchor reported. Results show that women were more likely to derogate the sexualized than unsexualized
anchor version--and did so more than men. A close look at the gist of these swipes revealed further gender nuance in
derogatory tactics.

5536. Applying Foucault's Technologies of the Self to Web 2.0: Communication, Self and Online Community
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper analyzes early blogging and online diary writing as technologies of the self or procedures through which
practitioners enacted certain identities as Internet users. By combining archival research, close analysis of websites,
and interviews with their creators, I examine the crucial period in the history of blogging that Foucault might have
called "the moment of its arising." I discuss how the most defining practices associated with the emergence of online
diaries and weblogs in the second half of the 1990s enabled the performance of specific modes of identification for
their users, expressed by concepts such as the "online diarist" and the "blogger." The study broadens our
understanding of technologies of the self by analyzing the role of materiality in processes of self-formation on the
Internet. It shows that investigating how users perform identities on the Internet requires considering how artifacts and
practices of the self mutually shape each other.

Scholarship: From Micro to Meso to Macro
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study extends previous research on the psychological health benefits of open communication in a close
relationship for patients by presenting both cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence. Data came from a larger project
with women with breast cancer (N = 661) which involved baseline and three rounds of follow-up surveys as well as
online interactive interventions. This study examined the survey data at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks after the
intervention (controlling for the effects of the intervention conditions). Results from both cross-sectional and
longitudinal data supported that open communication in a close relationship was positively associated with patients’
psychological well-being and that this association was mediated by percentage approach coping. Implications and
limitations are discussed.
The Association Between Overinvolved Parenting and Young Adults’ Self-Efficacy, Psychological Entitlement, and
Family Communication, Michelle Dora Givertz, California State U - Chico; Chris Segrin, U of Arizona

Presented at the following event:

6551. Top Three Papers in Interpersonal Communication
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study sought to examine the association between parental behavior indicative of overinvolvement and control and
young adult child self-identity, namely self-efficacy and psychological entitlement. Participants in this study were 339
parent-young adult child dyads who completed survey measures of family environment, parenting, family
communication, and family satisfaction. Young adults also completed measures of self-efficacy and entitlement.
Results showed that balanced family adaptability and cohesion, open family communication, and authoritative rather
than authoritarian parenting were positively associated with parents’ and young adults’ family satisfaction. Parental
behavior that emphasized control over the child was associated with diminished self-efficacy and exaggerated
psychological entitlement in young adult children. The relationship between these two classes of variables was
amplified by open parent-child communication.
The Attack on Iraq: Fragmentation and Bias Across Eight Television Networks, Alexander Ryan Jenkins, Drexel U;

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

With the rise of cable television, issues of fragmentation and bias have come to the fore. Yet there has been no
extensive content analysis of television documenting the problem. This paper seeks to fill this gap. For the two-month
period between August 15 and October 15, 2002 prior to the Congressional authorization of force against Iraq, we
examined the presence or absence of arguments for and against the attack for 637 television news shows across eight
networks. We were particularly interested in the coverage of moral and legal arguments about the war, such as
considerations of international law.
The Audiovisual Unconscious: Media and Trauma in the Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies (Also Featured in
Virtual Conference), Amit Pinchevski, Hebrew U

Presented at the following event:

7155. Border Crossings in Media History
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Since its establishment in 1979, the Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University has given rise to
numerous studies on history, memory and trauma in the wake of the Holocaust. While acknowledging its audiovisual
nature, previous accounts have nevertheless failed to consider the profound significance of this novel archival
formation and how videotape technology shapes the production and reception of survivors’ testimonies. Positing
videography as the technological unconscious of the contemporary discourse of trauma and testimony, this paper
argues that the way trauma is conceived in this discourse is crucially conditioned by the videotape as an audiovisual
technology of recording, processing, and transmission.

6223. Extended Session: Virtual Environment and Representation
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

The present article examines the role of self-presence in the ways that people feel connected to their avatars after
avatar use, thereby contributing to an understanding of how people are influenced by avatar use even when they are no
longer using their avatars. Physiological measures of arousal (heart rate) and emotional valence (facial muscle
movement) were taken after avatar use, while participants watched, without controlling, their avatars in a context
where the avatars received negative treatment. The comparison of these measures to self-reported feelings of
connection to their avatars (i.e., self-presence) suggests that people are more strongly affected by their avatars after
avatar use when they develop greater emotion- or identity-level, but not body-level connections to their avatars during
avatar use. These findings are relevant to a growing body of research on avatar use effects as well as to the
development of virtual worlds and video games. The paper describes some of these implications and suggests future
work based on the present findings.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Through a contemporary history, the fate of online behavioral advertising regulation and potential legislation is
examined within the context of the driving forces of commercialism and the regulatory regimes of other media
technologies. After studying the manner in which proponents and naysayers alike affected the prior struggles for
regulation of radio and television where ultimately the commercial broadcasters maintained control of the airwaves, a
similar fate for the struggle to legislate online behavioral advertising is expected. It is predicted that regardless of
efforts by consumers and consumer advocacy groups to get Congress to pass laws regulating online behavioral
advertising and protect consumer privacy, it is unlikely that such legislation will ever pass. This is found to be due to
an American capitalist system that encourages the commercial nature and interests of advertisers and the way this
industry has continued to appease regulatory agencies through self-regulation.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Apocalyptic cinema constitutes a unique and specific genre of film identifiable by similar premises, structures, plots,
characters, and settings. Through a generic and textual analysis of the films Outbreak, Independence Day,
Armageddon, The Day after Tomorrow, and 2012 this essay seeks to answer the following questions: What are the
defining features that make apocalyptic cinema a contemporary film genre? How does this genre symbolically
function socially and culturally? In answering these questions we assert that apocalyptic cinema creates and maintains
specific symbolic functions that U.S. Americans can access as equipment for living. By constructing specific plots
structured by a pattern of prophecy-apocalypse-survival, apocalyptic film can serve as a resolve to looming
apocalyptic narratives created in information-based media, such as political and news rhetoric. In offering this resolve,
viewers are equipped with specific attitudes of (re)affirmed faith and hope in a particular U.S. National Identity and
models for ideal citizenship.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Increasingly scholars and others are turning to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and World of
Warcraft as data sources for addressing questions about human behavior. While the automatically generated logs of
such sites offer a wealth of data, they also come with notable shortcomings. This talk will draw on research showing
that uptake of sites is not random and thus relying on specific sites as data sources poses challenges when trying to
generalize findings to a more general population. Depending on the questions of interest, scholars must make sure
that the research design they employ in their studies is not intertwined with their substantive questions of interest to
avoid systematically excluding certain populations from their findings and discussions.
The Book is Better Than the Movie: Vivid Writing’s Effect on Cognitive and Affective Processing, Carolyn Yaschur,
U of Texas - Austin; Rebecca Ann McEntee, U of Texas; Renita Coleman, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

6528. Experimental Studies on the Effects of Sensational Storytelling
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In this experiment, vivid writing elicited greater mental elaboration and more empathy from readers than did non-vivid
writing or photographs. Images created “in the mind’s eye,” evoke a powerful affective response, enabling the reader
to empathize more readily and engage more deeply. It’s analogous to the idea that the book is better than the movie.
Encouraging readers to think critically and feel for the people in the stories and photos can be especially important for
stories about important social issues such as illegal immigration and obesity.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

In the recent case of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, the Supreme Court of the United States gave
new life to independent expenditures by corporations in support of candidates for public office. This decision has
been roundly condemned both for giving First Amendment rights to corporations and for judicial activism by
overturning two-decades worth of precedent to the contrary, beginning with the Court’s 1990 decision in Austin v.
Michigan Chamber of Commerce that permitted such limitations despite First Amendment concerns about government
censorship. This paper looks at Austin and, in particular, the decisions leading up to that case. This paper works
through the language used by the Courts in several cases prior to Austin to demonstrate how the opponents of
independent campaign expenditures put their substantial differences aside to create a loose majority in favor of the
limitations created in Austin and struck down in Citizens United.

This paper examines, through content analysis, the use of the political communication model titled the “Burgler
Alarm” model about the coverage of the Arizona Immigration Bill 1070. The paper uses a database compiled by the
author from January to June 2010 with data from four national newspapers (Washington Post, New York Times, Wall
Street Journal, USA Today). The paper analyzes national reporting of the story and shows how coverage monitored
the Arizona political process to approve the stringent immigration bill debated, passed and approved by elected
officials in the state. The paper illustrates how the concept of monitoring important news for the public operated
during and after the approval of the immigration bill.

6537. Tensions Between the Real and the Ideal: How to Improve the US/Mexico Border News Environment Through
Training and Education?
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Less than an hour’s drive from the Arizona-Mexico border, the University of Arizona School of Journalism is ideally
situated for introducing students to the practice of international and cross-cultural news, but increasing violence has
caused UA faculty to explore new teaching strategies. In 2010, with support from the Dart Center for Journalism and
Trauma, the school reached out to its academic counterparts along the US/Mexico border to find out how other
institutions on both sides of the border were responding to increasing, yet varying levels of violence. Two workshops
with faculty members from nine academic institutions along the border resulted in the formation of the Border
Journalism Network. This paper will offer an early evaluation of the efforts of the BJN, discuss successes, as well as
challenges that the group faces in its efforts to keep students safe and improve news coverage of the region.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

We present the development and validation of the Communication Anxiety Regulation Scale (CARS), a brief self-
report measure designed to assess the use of emotion regulation strategies to manage acute communication anxiety in
response to an anxiety-provoking speech task. The CARS is contrasted to existing measures of emotion regulation
that assess use of general emotion regulation tendencies as opposed to strategies used in specific communication
scenarios. Study 1 delineates the construction and subsequent testing of the hypothesized factor structure of the
CARS. Results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the existence of four distinct subscales of the CARS, each
representing a different anxiety regulation strategy: suppression, reappraisal, avoidance, and venting. Study 2
examined correlations of the CARS subscales with existing measures, demonstrating preliminary construct validity.
Overall, findings provide preliminary support for the utility of the CARS as measure of communication anxiety
regulation to be used by communication and psychology researchers.

7141. Theoretical and Empirical Insights Into the Communicative Constitution of Authority in Nonprofit
Organizations
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This paper examines the communicative transformation of a nonprofit organization that started as a rudimentary
organizational endeavor and eventually evolved into a full-fledged organization. We combine two theoretical
approaches: (1) Ahrne and Brunsson’s (2011) distinction between “partial” and “complete” organizations; and (2) the
emerging CCO perspective (Cooren et al., 2011), which allows us to investigate partial organizations as inherently
dynamic phenomena. Based on an empirical study of the “Equator Principles” (EP), a corporate responsibility
initiative in the field of international project finance, we show that partial organizations face societal pressures to
develop into more “complete” organizations, i.e., they face public demands to add further organizational elements
(hierarchies, membership, etc.) and to become “addressable” actors (Drepper, 2005). More specifically, we explore
the discursive struggles around the EP initiative and analyze how the discourse of “promised completion” gained
authoritative status (Kuhn, 2008), fostering the EP initiative’s trajectory from organizational partiality to completion.

Presented at the following event:

7141. Theoretical and Empirical Insights Into the Communicative Constitution of Authority in Nonprofit
Organizations
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Several scholars have suggested that there is much to be learned from studying how people translate Buddhist
philosophy into collective action (see Weick & Putnam, 2006; Weick & Sutcliffe, 2006). More particularly, they
argue that investigating “mindful organizing” (Weick & Sutcliffe, 2001, 2006), conceived from a Buddhist
perspective, might help us understand how people can coordinate their activities while taking impermanence and
selflessness as a point of departure rather than as something to combat. Few empirical studies, however, have
examined how an actual organization is managed by incarnating a specific Buddhist philosophy through everyday
interactions. In this paper, we therefore study how members of the Taiwanese Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi
(see Brummans & Hwang, 2010) manage their nonprofit humanitarian organization by invoking the spectral authority
of their Buddhist master in interactions in order to enact their organization with a shared sense of compassion and
wisdom.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This paper investigates how bridging and bonding civic engagement, as social resources akin to bridging and bonding
social capital, influence the ability of residents to access and utilize health-related resources and services. We argue
that both forms of civic engagement are constructed through the communication network(s) of neighborhood
stakeholders (i.e., residents, local and ethnically-targeted media, as well as community organizations) and, therefore,
we examine how the communicative ties among community actors are related to health care access directly, but also
indirectly via civic engagement. This study uses data collected as part of a random-digit-dial telephone survey of
Latino (N=304) and African American (N=294) residents living in South Los Angeles. We discuss the implications of
the findings for community-based health-related outreach programs and interventions, as well as for future research.

"But what about nonverbal meanings, the terrorist as human, with baby on his lap; is it possible to report this basic
truth about reality (that terrorists are human)?" (Viera, 1988, p.35) Personalized media interviews of terrorists that
convey their humanity -- eloquently described in the above quote -- may put broadcast media in the difficult position
of inadvertently eliciting sympathy for terrorists and their cause. Our study builds on previous relevant
conceptualizations (Chouliaraki, 2008; Frosh, 2006; Frosh & Pinchevsky, 2009; Peters, 2001) and addresses the
emotional and ethical dilemmas that can be evoked in viewers by watching such interviews with the enemy, in which
the terrorist is inevitably granted an individual, human face (Viera, 1988). It examines the extent to which
personalized media representations of terrorists that expose viewers to the face of the enemy do indeed elicit
compassion towards these 'others', even though they are likely to be deemed as fundamentally undeserving of viewers’
sympathy and moral consideration. We attempt to map out the interpretive acts that Jewish-Israeli viewers perform in
their reading of such a media text: a personalized interview with a Palestinian terrorist.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This study attempts to reveal the patterns of the framing contest in U.S. television news coverage of the global
warming issue between 2000 and 2009. The study reveals that the U.S. media tend to report in a balanced manner (by
presenting both sides) when dealing with themes such as “the controversy over global warming” or “the economic
costs/ remedies.” However, the media tend to focus on the seriousness of global warming when they report the issue
from the perspectives of “finding new evidence of global warming” or “the consequences of global warming.” This
study also provides details of the main arguments of the counnterframes and the main claim-makers of those
counterframes. The most frequently adopted counterframe was the “costs” frame, which mainly argues that it is too
risky to invest money to ameliorate the uncertain dangers of global warming; and the most frequently appearing claim-
makers of counterframes were Republican politicians.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Happiness is considered one of the goals of individuals and nations. Thus, many interdisciplinary efforts have
attempted to determine the factors that lead to happiness. However, most of these efforts have ignored some important
but less tangible factors, such as having a free press and a healthy environment. In this study, we argue that press
freedom—a measure of social capital—along with human and built capital, and natural capital, predicts levels of life
satisfaction across nations. Using data from 161 countries, our study provides empirical support to our theoretical
model that forms of capital do not influence life satisfaction separately but are actually situated in a web of
interrelationships. This is consistent with the assumptions that the road to happiness is not direct. It is a complex path
where different forms of capital influence one another before leading to a happy life.
The Conceptual Blending Model of Organizational Identity, Janis Pencis, University of Latvia

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The author argues that organizational identity in a view of the symbolic interactionism theory has been reduced to the
matter of essential formal structures and their transformations, but it does not say anything about the content of
organizational identity – how exactly it is formed, what the meaning of it is, and how to manage it in favour of a
specific organization. On the other hand the author finds that the conceptual blending theory analyzes human mental
processes that are involved in the development of meaningful content of any identity. This paper presents a new model
and empirical research methodology for a more holistic understanding of organizational identity based on the
combination of the symbolic interactionism and the conceptual blending theories. The author uses empirical evidence
of Latvian advertising agencies. 15 in-depth interviews, and a written questionnaire completed by 186 respondents is
analyzed by grounded theory, semantic differential, and qualitative content analysis.

The major goal of the paper is to determine whether we are experiencing a new notion of imperialism in the fields of
media and communication. In other words, it investigates whether the recent growth of American-based platforms has
resulted in a change to the norm of the imperialism thesis. It is to make a contribution to the platform imperialism
discourse as a new imperialism by mapping out several core characteristics, including the swift growth and global
dominance of SNSs and smartphones, the role of intellectual property rights, and spiritual hegemony of American-
based entrepreneurship. It also argues whether American imperialism, as a form of platform imperialism, is useful for
explaining the contemporary power relations between the U.S. and non-Western countries.

This study proposes a new social engagement construct defined as the degree of intensity or types of connections that
audiences develop with television content through social media platforms over time. Facilitated by two U. S. online
consumer panels, a 15-item scale assesses self-reports of the four underlying dimension of social engagement –
vertical involvement, diagonal interaction, horizontal intimacy, and horizontal influence. This study presents
preliminary discriminant validity through differentiating social engagement from the related but distinct constructs of
attitude and involvement. The potential of the social engagement scale to advance our understanding of multimedia
television consumption behavior and its practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

This research seeks to uncover how the Container Project, a grassroots community media center in Jamaica developed
despite limited institutional support and funding from UNESCO. The purpose is to reveal patterns in production
practice and to identify the characteristics of grassroots-defined documentary video production and production
practice within this institutional context. Presented in four sections, this research allows for the non-linear analysis of
a community media center at two locations evolving at different times. These sections include an overview of the
Container Project in relation to UNESCO, the social-economic and technological context of the Container Project, an
analysis of the production environment, and an analysis of the media including media producers’ perspective on
production practice.

One of the most salient challenges for democratic societies is to make competent administrative decisions about
controversial topics while improving public perceptions of political legitimacy. When federal agencies inquired of the
United States National Academies of Sciences on how to obtain public consent, the study panel recommended that
agencies focus on involving all interested and affected parties in meaningful, open, face-to-face dialogue. This paper
reports a study using Jurgen Habermas’s theory of communication action to define empirical measures of dialog
conditions as perceived by citizens participating the implementation of California’s Marine Wildlife Protection Act.
Survey data were gathered from a self-selecting group of 201 adult citizens concerning both their perceptions of the
public input process and also the extent to which they expected to be satisfied with the decision of the relevant public
authority. Results indicate speech validity and symmetry conditions strongly predicted expected citizen satisfaction
with the decision.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Realism is an important factor contributing to game experiences. However, conceptualizing and operationalization of
realism in previous video game studies vary greatly, mostly centering on the dimensions of graphic realism and social
realism. We argue that it is important to examine enactive realism, particularly for interactive and participatory media
such as video games. Additionally, previous studies investigating the effect of realism in video games predominantly
focus on player aggression, overlooking positive outcomes. To fill in the gap in the current literature, this study
examines the contribution of two types of realism—graphic realism and enactive realism—to enjoyment and effort in
an active video game playing context. It was found that enactive realism was a significant predictor for enjoyment and
effort in playing Wii games. However, graphic realism was not found to be a significant predictor for enjoyment,
perceived effort or actual effort. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper examines diversity of political views on the opinion pages of twenty-five different U.S. newspapers and
news magazines in the weeks leading up to the 2003 American attack on Iraq. It seeks to answer three questions: 1)
who are the authors writing these opinion pieces? 2) How are different author types distributed across different
periodicals? And 3) does author type play any role when it comes to contributing moral content to public debate?
These questions are important, especially when it comes to macro-moral matters like war. Habermas expected a
properly functioning public sphere to debate such matters in a moral way. This study examines which voices
contribute to that end. Our major finding is that it was chiefly the academics who contributed the critical moral voice
in the national deliberation about the attack on Iraq. In this capacity, the academics seemed to uphold a long tradition
of public intellectuals acting as the moral compass of society.

Content analysis of 8,442 Facebook wall posts of Fortune 500 companies revealed that the posts and comments are
comprised mostly of others who post a comment or response on the fan pages, but not affiliated with the Fortune 500
companies. The companies are managing Facebook in a more passive way by monitoring consumers’ posts and
responses, and utilizing them as a way to solve consumer conflicts and promote company brand identity. The findings
show that the corporations are now using Facebook profile pages actively by implementing different types of
disclosure, information dissemination or involvement strategies on their profile pages. However, most companies do
not fully take advantage of Facebook features to engage with the public and create a dialogic loop. While the
dominant theme for the company and others posts are interest based and pursuing their own interests, the major theme
for company responses is relational possibly to maintain or improve relationships. The dominant message used are
product/brand promotion in company posts, information for further interaction in company responses, while others
posts and responses mostly involve neutral comments about company products. Interestingly, the emotions expressed
in posts and responses are mostly neutral, but the posts by others have relatively higher negative emotion.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the dark side of ‘reality TV’ by undertaking a more comprehensive analysis
of the most salient moral issues that continue to emerge from the production of this kind of popular factual
programming. Importantly, we do so by integrating conceptual elaborations with empirically grounded findings which
responds to both rather undifferentiating, generalizing positions in the ethical debate and the still under-examined
production contexts. First, we outline and schematize some useful preliminary distinctions between image internal and
external contexts, different stages of the production process, the multiple stakeholders involved, the nature of the
representation and the basic duality of content and form. Next, we distinguish between the three main and broad issues
of intrusion, humiliation and misrepresentation, as well as their manifold incarnations and nuances.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Although humor is considered positive communication, it also has a “dark side” because humor can be used to control,
disparage or hurt others. Using dyadic power theory as a guide, we predicted that interpersonal power and relational
satisfaction affected the incidence of aggressive humor during conflict discussions and individuals’ affective reactions
to partners’ use of aggressive humor. Romantic partners engaged in short conflicts and then identified the aggressive
humor used in the interaction while watching their own videos. We then coded the affective reactions to the
aggressive humor using the specific affect coding scheme. The results of actor-partner analyses of the data revealed
the perceptions of interpersonal power played a more of a role than relationship satisfaction and that males and
females used aggressive humor differently. Females responded to aggressive humor with greater defensiveness,
stonewalling, contempt and anger as well as validation but males largely responded with stonewalling and
defensiveness.
The Democratic Impact of "Imagined Communities": Online Political Discussion and Swing Vote at the European
Parliament Elections 2004 and 2009 in Germany, Pablo Porten-Chee, U of Düsseldorf

Presented at the following event:

6621. Building Community Through Communication in Political and Public Sector Organizations
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

With the diffusion of digital technologies, communities were observed rather differentiated and not as mere “group(s)
of persons who are able to communicate information to each other effectively over a wide range of topics“ (Deutsch,
1953, p. 169). In the context of online communication the notion is being reassessed giving space to the non-visibility
of the others in order that “imagined audiences” (Marwick & boyd, 2011) constitute “imagined communities”
(Anderson, 1991). This paper wants to find out the outcome of this shift on democratic outcomes. More precise, it
explores if online political discussion has an effect on swing vote. The swing voter, “a voter who is not so solidly
committed“ (Mayer, 2007, p. 359) to a candidate or a party is hardly focus of political and even less of communication
research. This is surprising, because especially when elections were closed, the (undecided) swing voters finally
decide about the electoral results. On the one side, online political discussions within imagined communities, i.e. in
discussion forums could alter the voting decision (Price, Nir & Cappella, 2006). On the other side, face-to-face
political discussions reinforce the voting decision as they mainly occur within ideologically homogeneous groups
(Schmitt-Beck, 2000). Individual-level survey data, which focussed on swing voting regarding the European
Parliament Elections 2004 and 2009 in Germany, was used. The findings show that party identification and the
assessment of issue performance of the “Christian Democratic Union (CDU)” had both negative effects on swing
voting whereas online political discussion enhanced swing vote slightly.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Building on prior findings indicating that depressed people perceive communication differently than non-depressed
people, it is hypothesized that organizational communication mitigates depressive symptoms and therefore prevents
them from developing their impact on work outcomes. Data were collected in 2005 and 2007 in an international
financial consultancy firm, using a web-based questionnaire (n=1,014). The hypothesis is tested with structural
equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS. The bootstrapping results indeed showed a negative association between
symptoms of depression and work outcomes that was moderated through organizational communication. Based on the
present research, a way of decreasing the negative effects of depression on work outcomes is to tailor organizational
communication.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The aim of this study was to investigate developmental pathways of online sexual risk behavior from early to late
adolescence. Moreover, this study examined how these trajectories are related to negative online experiences, such as
online sexual solicitation, online harassment, and online rumination. A four-wave longitudinal study with a
representative sample of 1,762 Dutch adolescents aged 12 to 17 was conducted. Group-based modeling revealed three
distinct developmental pathways. One group of adolescents showed no online sexual risk behavior during
adolescence, a second group showed low levels and the third group high levels of online sexual risk behavior. The
high online risk group followed the typical adolescence-limited developmental pathway with a peak in risk
engagement in mid-adolescence. Further analyses suggested that engagement in online sexual risk behaviors is related
to three types of negative online experiences: online sexual solicitation, online harassment, and online rumination.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

Since its introduction in 2004 Community Radio has grown rapidly in the UK outnumbering 200 stations licensed
over the last 6 years. The regulation does make this sector very distinct from mainstream broadcasters and requires the
community radio stations to be filling the spaces not covered by larger and mainstream broadcasters. The author
argues that the birth of Community Radio (CR) in Britain cannot be understood unless it is placed in the context of
New Labour social and cultural policies. This paper therefore offers a background to the development of British CR
between 1997 and 2009 by identifying and analysing areas of government social, urban, cultural and media policies
which, arguably, shaped the context where community radio operated, and, specifically, its conception within the
framework of a particular view of community life and its regeneration.

The concept of social comparison is a core aspect of social psychology research and an important part of identity
development. Combining different kinds of (measurement-) approaches, this study investigates the similarities and
differences in social comparison to media characters versus people from the social network. The first part features a
new type of comparative rating to identify the social comparisons, and proves its reliability. The second part presents
the data of 278 respondents who answered a questionnaire about both kinds of comparison. Results indicate that real
persons serve more often as comparison targets than media characters. Furthermore, media characters lead to an
increased amount of upward comparison and to comparison with dissimilar others. The relevance of comparison
dimensions seems to be mostly independent of the comparison target.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

A growing number of scholars empirically explore the effects of media literacy education. In this article, we propose a
broad social-psychological framework to better understand the cognitive and affective mechanisms at work during
media educational practice. Using data from a pretest posttest natural experiment (N=838) conducted during a one-
shot film educational activity in Belgian secondary education, we demonstrate how demographics, prior media
preferences, and instructional methods have differential effects on cognitive and affective learning outcomes.
Moreover, we find that cognitive and affective learning both contribute to attitudinal learning, albeit in diverging
ways. The research illustrates that theory-driven work may help to integrate the often fragmented findings in the
media education research literature.

The current study explores the effectiveness of online channels for disseminating a health campaign by evaluating an
online-based diffusion campaign Hug AIDS. This campaign was implemented during August 24th to September 23rd
in 2009 based exclusively on online channels. Diffusion of innovation was utilized as a theoretical framework for
understanding the process through which the campaign message was disseminated throughout different online
channels. An analysis of the survey data conducted among 1,836 Koreans who participated in the Hug AIDS
campaign revealed several notable differences across five adopter categories in terms of their perception toward
innovative characteristics of the campaign, channels through which they had received or disseminated the campaign
message, knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and intention to adhere to recommended behaviors as well as seek and
disseminate information about HIV/AIDS. Implications for future health campaigns utilizing online channels are
discussed.

The digital production gap refers to the tendency for the producers of online content to be from similar demographic
backgrounds. Research in this area has typically found that socioeconomic status (SES), based on education and
income levels, is the major predictor of who is creating online content. While research concerning the
sociodemographic makeup of online content producers is undoubtedly important, it is somewhat narrow in its scope.
The present study proposes to move beyond an analysis of sociodemographic characteristics in order to look at the
cognitive predictors of online content production. In this study we explore two cognitive variables that may be
expected to influence the production of Internet materials: a person’s willingness to express opinions and their level of
elaborative processing. Our findings reveal that elaborative processing and opinion expression are significant
predictors of online production, above and beyond SES. We also show that the positive impacts of media use on
content production are amplified among respondents who report higher levels of opinion expression. The implications
of these findings are discussed.

7452-2. Children, Adolescents, and Media Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Children today are surrounded by and immersed in media. Since most media can fulfill more than one purpose, the
particular media that children choose to use for any particular activity is largely reliant on the media to which they
have access, which is heavily dependent on socioeconomic status (e.g. Common Sense Media, 2011; Kaiser Family
Foundation, 2004; Roberts & Foehr, 2008), The current study sought to investigate how income level is related to
children’s choice of media when it comes to a variety of activities. A sample of 531 parents with children between the
ages of 2 and 13 years completed an online survey. Results demonstrated that the idea of a “digital divide” is largely
nonexistent, at least for older media. Children are still turning to more traditional media to fulfill their daily needs, and
access to these media is largely equivalent across income levels.

7528. Iconic Representation: Media Images that Discipline Social Discourse
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Through content analysis of newspaper images and a qualitative discussion of the prevalent societal notions about
homeless persons' use and occupation of public space, the current paper considers to what extent newspaper images of
homeless individuals replicate longer standing discourses that frame homelessness as a threat to civic order. The
analysis shows three distinct visual trends: homeless subjects are strongly associated with the disorderly use and
occupation of space; a “disordered” homeless subject loses important apparent and theoretical capacities of identity;
“ordered” homeless subjects are pictured in institutions of control and reform. Such findings align with important
theoretical insights into how homelessness is socially apprehended in terms of spatial and civic disorder, as well as,
particularly long-standing social notions that frame the causes of homelessness in terms individual deficiency and
deviance, and thereby structure responses to homelessness in terms of institutional discipline and personal reform.

6634. High Density Session: Dynamics of Political Knowledge
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This 25-year longitudinal study investigates how media environmental changes, with increasing opportunities for
media choice among citizens, have influenced patterns as well as and individual level determinants of news
consumption. More specifically the study investigates whether the impact of political interest – a key motivational
factor behind news consumption – on various forms of news consumption has increased over time. The analysis is
based on a unique large-scale representative annual survey conducted in Sweden over the years 1986-2010, enabling a
comprehensive analysis of citizens’ total and specific news consumption across multiple channels and platforms.
Results show that news consumption has become more polarized between news-seeker and news-avoiders over time,
and that political interest has become a more important determinant of news consumption in today’s high-choice
media environment.

Presented at the following event:

5135. Online Political Participation
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper draws upon the ICA 2012 Conference theme, Communication and Community, by examining some of the
challenges associated with E-government activity at the local level in the U.S. Using primary data, this work
empirically examines two key issues: the nature and extent of an urban-rural E-government divide at the local level;
and the availability of citizen engagement types of applications on local government websites. While a range of work
has examined geographic divides in relation to issues such as broadband availability, or has shed light on differences
in E-government activity across broad geographic scales, such as between countries or metropolitan areas, a relatively
limited amount of research has examined the urban-rural E-government divide at the community level. Local
governments have a distinct and important role to play in specific areas of E-government activity. They serve a range
of stakeholders, provide essential functions that are unique to their scale of jurisdiction, and are key points of contact
for grassroots concerns. This research found, however, that for local governments in many rural areas, E-government
activities were essentially non-existent. Moreover, across all areas, civic engagement types of opportunities on local
government websites were often similarly non-existent.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Suggesting that adolescents perceive invisible narrators in TV ads in a similar fashion to visible sources, this study
examined the influence of adult and peer invisible narrators in anti-marijuana PSAs targeted at adolescent users and
non-users. The findings suggest that adolescents (N = 1077) recall seeing peer-narrated ads more than adult-narrated
ads, which affected their acceptance of the ad. The results also suggest that adolescent marijuana users, more than
non-users, believed the ads exaggerated the problem of marijuana use, and therefore liked the ads less. A meditational
analysis showed that recalled exposure to an ad mediated the relationship between narrator type and ad evaluation.
These findings point to the subtle effects of invisible narrators in TV commercials - because young people are acutely
sensitive to adult pressure, this pressure may affect both recall of a preventive PSA and its apparent exaggeration, both
of which may affect the ad’s effect.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Participatory websites allow users to share their experiences and evaluations for the benefit of other readers. In online
product review systems users contribute product reviews that are, in turn, subjected to overt evaluations from other
readers, as shown in helpfulness ratings. Other users may also indicate agreement or disagreement with the original
reviewer. This research applied congruity theory (Osgood & Tannenbaum, 1955) to predict effects on readers’
attitudes from the juxtaposition among three potential sources of influence: review valence, other users’ helpfulness
rating of the review, and another user’s agreement with the review. Results generally support the hypothesized
interaction effect among the three factors. The findings suggest that congruity theory provides a useful framework in
understanding sequential effects among juxtaposition of sources and messages on social participatory systems.

7620. News Reception Effects Within Broader Frameworks: Cognition and Interpretation
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

How people perceive public opinion is important because it affects their willingness to express themselves. This paper
investigates whether two different portrayals of public opinion in the TV news affect people’s perception of public
opinion. We use an experimental design in which roughly one thousand subjects were exposed to a fictional television
news item. The news items contained either popular exemplars or base-rate information offered by experts each
presenting different public opinion distributions. We find that exemplification, which is frequently employed in the
news, has an effect on the news broadcast viewers’ perception of dominant public opinion. However, in contrast to
previous work, we find that base-rate information has a larger effect on perceived public opinion when offered by a
speaking source (expert) making it vivid. The factors underlying this differential effect are the success at being an
attention commander and a credible source (trustworthiness and expertise). Speaking experts are evaluated as equally
trustworthy and effective attention commanders as popular exemplars but have far greater expertise.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This paper investigates the effects of a nutrition claim, a nutrition claim with a disclosure and a health claim (i.e. a
nutrition claim accompanied by a health effect) mentioning nutrients varying in relevance, in terms of ad credibility
and perceived product characteristics (nutrients and health benefits). A large-scale experiment (N=413) with
university students showed that the type of claim had some effects on credibility and product perception. Furthermore,
nutrients of lower relevance to university students (i.e., fibers and salt) consistently led to perceptions more in line
with the claim content compared to nutrients of higher relevance (i.e., sugar and fat). These results strengthen the
finding that for nutrients that matter most in terms of health consequences consumers may be more critical towards
persuasion attempts. Finally, our results show that men are more likely to playback (and thus believe more) what was
mentioned in the different types of claims.
The Effects of Cognitive Gratifications on Intention to Read Citizen Journalism News: The Mediating Effect of

Presented at the following event:

6624. News in Old and New Media
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper investigates the uses and gratifications of citizen journalism by applying the research model drawn from
the uses and gratifications approach, and the cognition-affection-conation framework. Based on the uses and
gratifications literature and the cognition-affection-conation framework, the effects of cognitive gratifications on
attitude (i.e., affective) and intention (i.e. conative) are examined. The indirect effects of cognitive gratifications on
intention to read news (i.e., conation) through the interpretation of affection that they experienced are also examined.
Using a survey of nearly 300 users, the result shows that all gratifications, except for escape, have a direct effect on
attitude. However, none of the gratifications has a direct effect on intention. The proposed model shows that attitude
mediates the effects from all gratifications to intention. The model explains a high percentage of variance with
gratifications explain about 46 percent of the variance in attitude. However, their effects on intention are limited.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Cooperation and competition have started to emerge as potential variables that may supersede violence as the main
cause for aggression in post-video game play. However, few studies have examined how the relationship between
video game players affects aggression and prosocial behaviors. In this study, we considered how game mode –
competitive or cooperative – and relationship between players – friend or stranger – affects aggression and prosocial
behaviors. Using experimental data, we found that cooperative play not only increased prosocial behaviors, but also
that the relationship between game players affected hostility post game play. These findings indicated that cooperative
game play attenuated aggression. Additionally, the relationship between players significantly interacted with the game
play mode such that collaborating friends produced increased hostility and decreased prosocial behaviors, as
moderated by who won the game.

Through the attribution theory, this study investigates the value of cause related marketing (CRM) effects by
constructing a mediated, theoretical design within a social network site to evaluate the effects of congruence, brand
reputation and credibility, and cause brand familiarity within consumer sentiment with regard to a brand collaborating
with a cause. A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment design was implemented to investigate the significance of perceived
motives, consumer attitudes toward a brand, and intention to spread the campaign. The study expressed the mediate
model through the structural equation model (SEM). The study generated significant results from three-way
interactions amongst the key variables and presents interesting implications for future CRM campaigns.
The Effects of Joint Religious Practices, Sanctity of Marriage, and Forgiveness on Marital Quality, Laura Stafford, U

Presented at the following event:

7151. Relational Change and Maintenance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The joint contributions of sanctity of marriage, joint religious activities (JRA) and forgiveness to positive and
negative marital quality were examined with data from 342 heterosexual married couples. Positive and negative
marital quality were predicted using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, in which JRA, sanctity, forgiveness
and unforgiveness of both the husband and wife were examined simultaneously. The effect of JRA on marital
satisfaction was mediated through sanctity, which suggests that religious practices may be meaningful to marital
quality only to the extent that feelings of sanctity are engendered. However, sanctity did not operate through
forgiveness, though forgiveness was linked to marital quality. The findings suggest that future research is needed to
examine potential underlying mechanisms that explain the relationship between perceived sanctity of marriage and
positive and negative marital quality.

We report a study that uses retrospective analysis to understand American and Chinese participants’ feelings and
reactions on a moment-by-moment basis during an interaction as a result of the messages they receive from their
conversation partners. Intercultural and intra-cultural pairs of Chinese and American participants talked about a
fictional crime story and then individually watched and reflected on an audio-video recording of the interaction. We
analyzed three types of messages produced during the interactions: task-related messages, relational messages and
back channel responses. We found that the type of messages uttered by one’s partner could influence participants’
self-reported levels of understanding, involvement and negative emotions during their conversations. Moreover, we
found that participants adopted different strategies regarding the frequency of back channel responses they produced
during an interaction with an American partner versus a Chinese partner. Our results contributed to the understanding
of how communication problems may emerge during dyadic conversations, especially in intercultural interactions.

The purpose of this study is to determine which of the following factors influence children’s online communication:
parent-child communication, social self-efficacy, and unwillingness to communicate. To examine children’s online
communication, the researchers obtained survey data from 425 elementary school students in South Korea and tested a
hypothesized structural model using EQS/Windows. Findings suggested that open communication between parents
and children is associated with higher levels of social self-efficacy and lower levels of unwillingness to communicate
among children. Through the two variables, open parent-child communication has an indirect influence on interactive
communication in online communities. Overall, this study offers meaningful results indicating that children’s
interactive online communication is influenced by their characteristics of interpersonal communication resulting from
open parent-child communication.

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Playing massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) is often blamed for a loss of interpersonal
offline relationships. Using the dualistic model of passion as theoretical framework, we examined whether this is
mainly the case for people scoring high on obsessive passion for MMORPGs and whether people scoring high on
harmonious passion build online relationships without neglecting offline relationships. Obsessive passion describes an
irrepressible urge to engage in an activity and has often negative outcomes, whereas harmonious passion describes the
voluntary engagement in an activity that results in positive outcomes. In an online survey among 406 MMORPG
players, obsessive passion was negatively related to number and quality offline friendships, and positively to number
of online friendships. Harmonious passion was related positively to number and quality of online friendships and
unrelated to offline friendships. The results confirmed the usefulness of the dualistic model of passion in this domain.

The primary purpose for this research was to examine the tensions that exist in professional listening relationships in
the courtroom context. Other goals were to explore how do Finnish judges define the concept of optimal listening and
how its definitions change in different communication relationships. These themes were approached from the
theoretical perspective of relational dialectics. The participant group consisted of 25 Finnish judges and the data were
gathered using semi-structured interviews. In the analysis of the data, some strategies of grounded theory methods
were applied. The results of the study suggested that the relationship in which listening actualizes has a prominent
effect on the concept of optimal listening. The tensions that the participants experienced in their professional
communication relationships seemed to be affected by their professional role. The most common tensions in
courtroom context were the tensions of conventionality and uniqueness, revelation and concealment, and judgment
and acceptance.

Gays and lesbians’ equal rights are a highly visible issue in U.S. politics. This study examines the relationship
between Americans’ position on this issue, their characteristics, and their media habits. Support for gay couples’
equality is predicted by one’s race, ideology, partisanship, religiosity and four dimensions of egalitarianism. Those
who support racial and gender equality, prefer varieties, and trust others are more likely to support equal rights for
homosexual couples. In addition, these supporters are more likely to use online media and consider television their
primary form of entertainment.

Understanding the process of searching and navigating on the web is – despite being extensively researched for more
than one decade already – of ever increasing importance in our society. 78.2% of all adults in the US and 79.9% of all
adults in Germany are online on a daily basis and searching for information is one of the most prominent activities
when being online. Search engines are the gatekeepers in this process, leading users’ – more or less successfully – to
the content they are looking for. Nowadays there are several technological approaches trying to improve search
engines and facilitate the search process for the single user. In our study we will focus on two of these approaches and
their influence on search strategies and efficiency.

6251. Extended Session: Interpersonal Communication, International Connections, and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

The face with its structural and nonverbal features is the most important cue in interpersonal communication
processes. For instance, positive emotions expressed by smiling lead to more positive interpersonal judgments (Dion
et al., 1972) and make people attribute higher degrees of e.g. attractiveness and social competence as well as less
dominance as compared to non-smiling people (e.g. Reis et al., 1990). While findings apply for Western cultures
(McCrosky, 1985) results for Asian countries are inconsistent (e.g. Kagan et al., 1994), especially with regard to the
effect of smiling behaviour. In a 2 (observer’s nationality) x 2 (smiling, non-smiling) x 3 (sender’s attractiveness) x 2
(sender’s gender) x 2 (observer’s gender) experimental design 158 German and 128 Malaysian participants evaluated
18 faces (9 smiling, 9 non-smiling) concerning attractiveness, social competence and dominance. Given recent
findings that behavioural dynamics are important, participants were shown animated synthetic faces programmed to
show genuine smiles (Krumhuber & Kappas, 2005) or no smiles rather than photos. While the analyses show several
effects of all variables, two effects consistently occur with regard to cross-cultural comparisons. First, Germans und
Malaysian agree in ratings of what makes a (Caucasian) face attractive, although the Malaysians give higher
attractiveness ratings than the Germans to all faces presented. Secondly, results consistently reveal interaction effects
between culture and smiling behaviour. Malaysians rate the non-smiling faces to be more socially competent and less
dominant, whereas Germans evaluate the smiling faces to be more socially competent and less dominant. Altogether,
the data demonstrate that the effects of smiling behaviour depends on the cultural context and that, interestingly,
smiling is associated with less positive ratings in an Asian culture compared to a European culture.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Building on the previous findings that visual smoking cues in anti-smoking advertisements with weak anti-smoking
arguments could elicit smoking urges in smokers and undermine message effectiveness, the current study investigates
the effect of smoking cues and argument strength in former smoker population – former smokers’ self-efficacy,
attitude, and intention to abstain from smoking, along with smoking urges and perceived message effectiveness. The
anti-smoking ads used in the study differ in the presence of smoking cues – either present or absent, and in the level of
their argument strength – either low or high. The results showed that presence of smoking cues in anti-smoking ads
undermines former smokers’ self-efficacy, attitude, and intention to abstain from smoking, which increased as a
function of increased argument strength for the ads. And, consistent with the previous findings, the presence of such
cues weakens anti-smoking ads’ perceived message effectiveness, as rated by former smokers. However, the effects of
smoking cues and argument strength on former smokers’ smoking urges were not significant.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Just as the availability of census data enabled new forms of direct mail marketing, emerging information and
communication technologies permit businesses to track individuals with increasing accuracy and sophistication.
Inexpensive and ubiquitous computing allows consumer data to be analyzed and incorporated into business decisions
and practices, ultimately increasing profit margins. In the aggregate, consumer behavior data has become an incredibly
profitable and saleable commodity. Against this backdrop of growing commercial surveillance, forms of biometric
identification including iris scanning and facial recognition are evolving rapidly. Traditionally, technical development
and applications of biometrics have targeted the needs of national security, immigration control, and police
surveillance. However, recently, based on successes in security applications, the use of these technologies for
collecting marketing data has emerged with beta-testing underway in many countries around the world. This paper
traces the current efforts to utilize biometric identification in marketing and advertising, critically analyzing these
business practices.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Viruses, scandals, hazards — in ever shorter time intervals the mass media seem to concentrate on one topic after the
other generating massive waves of public attention. This study investigates the fundamental mechanisms generating
such issue careers in the mass media with a social simulation approach. Factors and mechanisms, which empirical
research has identified as the main drivers of issue careers, are integrated into a dynamic agent-based computer model.
Simulating the model many times and under varying conditions allows to observe how the different factors interact to
generate issue attention cycles on the macro level: Are the identified factors and mechanisms sufficient and necessary
to generate issue attention cycles? What effects do especially issue sponsors have on the dynamics of issue attention?
Furthermore, the model is validated by comparing simulated and empirical issue careers.

Mediatization refers to a meta-process whereby social life in its totality is (re)embedded in and saturated with
mediated processes. This paper addresses the relationship between two theoretically diverging, yet socially
intertwined, realms pertaining to various mediatization patterns: cosmopolitanism and surveillance. Mediatization
implies increasing opportunities for ‘extending the self’, experienced in terms of mediated proximity, immediacy and
boundary transgression – ultimately sustaining a more cosmopolitan outlook of the world. Yet, mediatization also
brings growing opportunities for securitization, boundary control and social encapsulation, on behalf of societal
institutions as well as individuals and groups. Contemporary forms and extensions of surveillance and
cosmopolitanism are increasingly interwoven through the meta-process of mediatization, most recently the social
saturation of converging ‘social’ media. This paper suggests that phenomenology, as a heuristic tool, offers a well-
contextualized and grounded socio-cultural perspective to grasp the everyday dimensions and subjective moral
positionalities ensuing from increased mediatization and related openings and closures.

In this digital age, declarations surface on the death of the expert and the democratization of information. Crowd
wisdom is seen as the new guide in constructing and evaluating knowledge. In the art world community, this tension
between amateurs and experts becomes particularly pronounced as popular meets high culture. Questions arise such as
what is the role of the expert in the evaluation of art in current times? Do social media dismantle age-old hierarchies
and established priesthoods in the art world? And can we assume that mass participation in valuation result in better
judgments? This paper addresses such popular notions on participation and expertise concerning social media in the
art world through a historical lens by re-examining and positioning art experts from past to present. This historical
situatedness enables us to move beyond the hype of new media expectations, generating more appropriate avenues of
investigation in the art community.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This study examines the extra- and cross-national journalistic partnerships that emerged in November and December
2010 when WikiLeaks, an organization of hackers, formed relationships with five newspapers in Europe and the U.S.
to release formerly secret information to the world. The study asks: Was a global epistemology available in coverage
of the stories about WikiLeaks, and what made that epistemology possible? How have extra- and cross-national
journalistic partnerships contributed to the birth of a global epistemology and a lessening of the national
epistemology’s power over news discourse? Or have they? The study finds that despite these extra- and cross-
national journalistic partnerships the national epistemology remained dominant at each newspaper and was due to
news organization choice. A global epistemology was made available, but its availability was not attributable to the
extra- and national-journalistic partnerships. Instead, the emergence of a global epistemology was due to source
frameworks.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Comics journalism demands a reexamination of common critiques of the epistemological limitations of visually rich
representation. Within mainstream journalistic media, visually rich representation has emerged as an especially
contentious field for understanding the proper relationships between news entities and political debate. Through the
Abu Ghraib scandal and the Wikileaks “Collateral Murder” video, the emotional and affective content of visual
representation has taken a central role in contemporary journalistic and political discourse. While the affective
salience of imagery can be readily acknowledged in these contexts, the proper role of emotion in political and
journalistic discourse has been a historically fraught topic that has become even more complicated by the association
of news sources like France’s Liberation (2011), Russia’s Gorodskiye vesti (2006), and Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten
(2005) with controversial political cartoons representing Muhammad. Anticipating these controversies, Neil Postman
suggested that visually rich media blur the boundaries between entertainment and news while privileging emotional
responses over careful, rational consideration. For Postman, this undermines the functions of journalism characterized
by Harold Lasswell as “surveillance” of the environment, coordination of the community in response to significant
stimuli, and the transmission of cultural values. For Postman, the “values” cultivated through older typographical
media are characterized by orderly, linear, dispassionate, and “reasonable” argumentation. Susan Sontag suggested
that the interpretive power of photography lies in the caption and that photographs do not merely portray or represent,
but tend to overwhelm viewers with affective responses that make meaningful political action unlikely. This
suspicion towards affective responses as paralyzing or distracting from reasonable political discourse finds structural
support in the plain language of conventional print journalism, which tends to construct narrative in a way that
downplays the importance of emotion in “surveillance” and decision-making through a pretense of objectivity. The
comics journalistic works of Joe Sacco and Josh Neufeld provide ample reason to question both this suspicion towards
affectivity and emotion and the privileged status of typographical epistemology over an epistemology sensitive to the
affordances of rich visual presentation. These works demonstrate the value of layering sequential and linear narrative
forms familiar in print journalism with spatial codes that reflexively emphasize informational and interpretive gaps.
Equally these classics of comics journalism rehabilitate affect and emotion as components in the exercise of practical
reason in the public sphere, suggesting the social and epistemological utility of theories of narrative and affect
explored separately by Martha Nussbaum and Richard Rorty.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study explored the relationships among health authorities’ public relations efforts, media coverage, and public
perceptions of risk in response to the H1N1 pandemic outbreak. The findings revealed a positive relationship between
information subsidies attention and media attention to the H1N1 disease as well as the severity attribute, providing
evidence for first-level and second-level agenda-building effects. In addition, the salience of the severity attribute in
information subsidies was linked with increased H1N1 salience in media coverage, extending the testing of the
compelling-arguments hypothesis to an agenda-building context. However, there was no association between salience
of the severity attribute and public risk perceptions. This study suggests the optimistic bias and third-person effects to
explain the risk perception gap between media attention and public opinion.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Interorganizational networks are central to understanding population-level dynamics. In contrast to previous research,
this research suggests that a heterarchy of four mechanisms influence population network evolution:
microdeterminism, structuring mechanisms, semi-autonomous local processes, and downward influence. In order to
investigate the influence of these mechanisms, this research examines the evolution of an international
nongovernmental organization community of four populations, defined by their functional identity niches, from 1993
to 2007. Results suggest that each of these mechanisms operated. However, the results also demonstrate that
interorganizational networks evolve differently in various populations and different mechanisms operate to greater or
lesser extent in various population networks. An agenda for future research on the contingencies that influence
selection in population networks is introduced.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Since being launched on a mass scale in the 1970s, video games have grown in number, variety and consumer market
penetration, encroaching more aggressively into the domestic realm. Within the home, parents whose children play
video games have to exercise mediation and supervision. As video games evolve, parental mediation strategies have
also had to keep pace, albeit not always successfully. This study reviews the history of video games and traces their
evolution, finding enhanced affordances in portability, sociability, perpetuity, accessibility, interactivity and identity
multiplicity. The study proposes an analytical framework comprising key affordances of video games, elucidating how
their emergence and evolution pose growing challenges for parental mediation.
The Evolving Image of U.S. Business in Chinese News Coverage, 1979-2010 (Also Featured in Virtual Conference),
Priscilla Murphy, Temple U

Presented at the following event:

6539. Top Papers in Public Relations
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study examined Chinese media coverage from 1979 through 2010, asking: What themes characterized U.S.
business coverage? Did these themes change over time? The questions were explored through semantic network
analysis of 842 articles in China Daily and Xinhua News, combined with cluster analysis (grouping news stories with
similar coverage) and factor analysis (revealing themes for each cluster). There were seven clusters of stories in
roughly chronological order, suggesting seven thematic breaks in coverage of U.S. business. Factor analysis revealed
17 distinct themes throughout the period, of which four repeated themselves: American Trade and Products, U.S.
Adventurism/Militarism, Sino-U.S. Cooperation, and Trade Friction. Three themes did not repeat: Hong Kong, the
Global Economy, and the Decline of the West. An early generic tone yielded to sharp, specific critiques of the U.S.
Marketing and public relations considerations figured little in Chinese coverage of U.S. business.
The Extermination of Kennewick Man’s Authenticity Through Discourse, Cynthia-Lou Coleman, Portland State U

Presented at the following event:

8133. Questions of Authenticity
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The essay examines the intersection of Jean Baudrillard’s concepts of simulation and simulacra with Michel
Foucault’s construct of biopolitics in the context of social discourse surrounding the popular media coverage of
Kennewick Man—a 9,000 year-old skeleton whose remains were contested by scientists and American Indian tribes.
Tribes argued that the remains should be given to tribes in accordance with 1990 US legislation that allows
repatriation of artifacts and cultural items to indigenous peoples, while scientists argued that science would be
“harmed” unless the skeleton was examined with the aim of revealing information about human migrations to North
America. The essay expands and extends the scholarly literature about the discourse surrounding Kennewick Man by
overlaying popular rhetorical arguments with Baudrillardian and Foucauldian sensibilities about what constitutes
authenticity.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This study examines the effect of facial features of political leaders from the opponent side in conflict on attitudes
towards peace. Jewish-Israeli respondents received a proposal for peace agreement accompanied by a photograph
described as portraying the Palestinian political leader offering the proposal. The photograph included a digitized
facial image that was manipulated to appear as either babyfaced or mature by altering the size of eyes and lips
(Keating & Doyle, 2002). In line with our expectations the babyfaced Palestinian politician was judged as more
trustworthy than the mature-faced version of the same photograph and the peace proposal received higher support
when offered by the babyfaced Palestinian politician than when offered by the mature faced politician. Contrary to our
expectations, hawkish respondents with negative a-priori attitudes towards peace and towards Palestinians were also
affected by the facial features manipulation in their ratings of the Palestinian politicians' trustworthiness.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

There is much debate on how authentic users are while presenting themselves on social network sites. The predictors
and effects of online authenticity, however, are mostly unknown. Based on the data of a two-wave online survey (N =
381), the present study tested the longitudinal interactions of online authenticity, the need for privacy, positive as well
as negative affect. The results demonstrate that the need for privacy is a negative longitudinal predictor of online
authenticity. Furthermore, the data revealed reciprocal effects between authenticity and well-being: While positive
affect and authenticity were mutually reinforcing over time, negative affect at T1 was a negative predictor of
authenticity at T2 and vice versa. The results are discussed with regard to a potential “positivity bias” of the social
web and the resulting implications for the potential of SNS as a coping resource fostering well-being through
authentic behavior.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper relies on feminist cultural and political economic analysis to examine the dynamics between the female
audience commodity, affluent lifestyle programming and post-feminist consumer-citizenship in the twenty-first
century commercial television landscape. First, I provide an overview of affluent lifestyle programming, and address
how this reality television subgenre speaks to growing concerns in feminist scholarly research regarding the
problematic tensions between gender, capitalism and patriarchy. Then, I situate the female audience commodity and
affluent lifestyle programming, and examine what a specific affluent lifestyle program – Project Runway – can tell us
about post-feminist consumer-citizenship in the commercial television landscape. Finally, I use the 2008/2009 battle
over Project Runway as a lens to unravel the cultural and political-economic value afforded to affluent lifestyle
programming in the twenty-first century commercial television landscape.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This textual analysis examines local and national media coverage of Pastor Terry Jones and the “International Burn a
Qur’an Day” in the three weeks surrounding the proposed event: August 28, 2010 to September 18, 2010. Historically,
news coverage of religion and faith-based controversies has garnered widespread attention; therefore this study
investigates how Islam and Christianity were represented in one recent case. Multiple print and broadcast sources
were evaluated. Research analyzes various framing techniques utilized in reportage. Several frames were discovered
throughout the coverage of the case, including “Heroes and Villains,” “Victimization,” “Othering,” “Constitutionality
vs. Morality” and “Fear.” These themes not only illustrate the portrayals of Islam and Christianity in the Jones case,
but also express depictions of the United States and of Terry Jones himself.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper explores the behavioral consequences of the first person perception (FFP) and establishes the types of
perceived influence that underlie it. In study 1, the degree to which individuals admitted that they themselves were
influenced by pro-environmental messages predicted their pro-environmental behavior of using fewer plastic bags. In
study 2, on the other hand, the degree to which workers thought other workers were influenced by training in ethics
predicted their own reported ethical behavior. In both studies, the participants claimed that the message reinforced
their attitudes more than it did to others, but did not think the message changed their attitudes or made them form new
attitudes more than others. The article concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the
findings.

Presented at the following event:

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

What form is taken by moral argument in the public sphere, particularly about macro-moral matters like war and
genocide? Does public argument employ philosophical principles like deontology and utilitarianism or is it
characterized more by the devices that rhetoricians have brought to our attention such as ideo-graphs, narratives and
paradigm cases? At issue is a matter of argumentative form, but it calls for a quantitative answer: Which
argumentative forms show up more prominently? That is the question this paper seeks to answer. With the ethnic
strife of 1990s Bosnia as an example, this paper conducts a content analysis of different argumentative forms
deployed in the debate. It is concluded that public debate takes more of a rhetorical than philosophical form and that
as Kwami Appiah points out against the new intuitionists in psychology that framing is a major part of the moral work
to be done outside the laboratory.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

This study examined how the functionality of social tagging systems changes over time. Shannon’s communication
model was used to conceptualize social tagging systems as a special kind of communication system in which
individual users encode information resources into a set of tags to organize the resources and decode the tags into
information resources to discover the resources. The functionality of social tagging systems was defined as the extent
to which they facilitate both the encoding and decoding efforts, based on Zipf’s principle of least effort. The Yule-
Simon model was used as the generative mechanism by which social tagging systems grow over time. Two hypotheses
predicted changes in the slope of tag-frequency distributions and the functionality of the social tagging system. Both
hypotheses were supported using empirical data collected from an online academic community, nanoHUB.org. The
paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the results for online collective intelligence.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

The paper claims that the well-established concept of “collective memory” has a parallel, a mirror image concept that
concerns the ways by which society looks at and into the future, prospecting events and conditions that will or are
likely to occur at a later time. The “Collective Vision” – containing societal fantasies, fears, aspirations, dreams and
expectations – is a multi-directional process of concretizing a narrative about the future into a functional, socio-
political construct, as an outcome of shared ideology. The paper elaborates on the mechanisms of the mediated
"Collective Vision" and illustrates it in order to reveal the hegemonic role of the media in the construction of shared
future. This study aims to offer a larger theoretical context to this phenomenon as it presumes that ‘the discourse of
the future’ carries cultural and political significance that might serve to magnify threats and thus to justify preventive
actions.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This presentation compares journalists from more than 30 countries to illustrate the wide differences among these
journalists in age, gender, education, perceptions of most important roles, and acceptance of various reporting
methods. The findings from the studies included in this book suggest that the typical journalist is still primarily a
fairly young college-educated man who studied something other than journalism in college, and who came from the
established and dominant cultural groups in his country. In several countries women are as well-represented as men in
journalism (China, Finland, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, and Slovenia), which is a notable change from a dozen years
ago, when there were no countries where women were as numerous as men in journalism. The professional roles that
most journalists agree on are the importance of reporting objectively and accurately, getting information to the public
quickly, and providing analysis of events and issues. There is less agreement on the importance of being a watchdog
on government and providing access for members of the public to express themselves. Beyond these roles, there is
much disagreement over how important it is to provide entertainment.

Kumar, U of Iowa

Presented at the following event:

7237. Hybridizing Global Popular Culture
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This essay analyzes the globalization of political satire through a comparative study of two news parody shows on
Indian television. The shows, each in Hindi and English and both loosely inspired by successful western parody
programs, have been Indianized by aligning themselves along either side of a postcolonial social rift that is
differentiated by language. By appealing to these linguistically distinct audiences and tapping into the unique cultural
sensibilities that each of them represents, both shows construct hybrid identities from global formats in innovative
ways. As it highlights the negotiation between pre-existing structures and local cultural nuances in the shows, this
paper argues that these moments of negotiation are fruitful sites through which to explore the contingent ways in
which global cultures situate themselves at new sites.

8231. The Role of Emotion in Media Selection and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This paper explains previous conflicting findings regarding the ability of entertaining media to facilitate well-being by
including the volitional state of media users (i.e., the extent to which individuals are ego-depleted), as an underlying
mechanism influencing media-based stress recovery processes. Using path modeling, relationships between ego-
depletion, procrastination, guilt, enjoyment, vitality, and recovery experience were tested using data from an online
survey (N= 225). Results suggest that ego-depletion increases the negative emotions associated with media use, which
are negatively related to the recovery experience associated with using entertainment and the vitality of the user. This
makes ego-depleted individuals less able to benefit from the psychological recovery potential of entertainment media,
despite their greater need for recovery from stress. These findings are an important step in understanding both the
potential health benefits of media use, as well as how appraisal of media use can profoundly affect the entertainment
experience.

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Sexuality studies in Communication have grown and there are wonderful signs of this: roundtable opportunities;
topical recognition in journals; and lots of courses at most levels. Institutionalization is an important resource on the
rise. The downside of familiarity, however, is familiarity—a hardening or narrowing of genre in sexuality critique.
This is a constraint I notice in many of the journal submissions sent to me for review. Usually, an author claims that
sexual imagery is limiting, not subverting; existing power arrangements are favored; hetero and homonormativity are
abundant; commerce has a chilling effect. How might the analysis shift if we agreed not to come to those conclusions?
Not because they aren’t true, but because they don’t need to be argued and because repetition depletes critique. What
terms can we launch to expand our possibilities and what bright, new question arrows fill the quiver?

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

We examine the connections between the use of general and specific types of humor on physical, psychological, and
social well-being during the process of recovery from cardiovascular disease, proposing that relationship satisfaction
mediates the connection. Self- report data were collected from members of two national support groups for patients of
cardiovascular disease. As expected, the use of general humor associated with social and psychological well-being. In
the context of primary relationships, however, only antidote humor increased social and psychological health. In
contrast, social lubricant and distancing humor were negatively related to social and psychological well-being.
Relationship satisfaction mediated most effects. The findings offer new insight into the variability of humor effects,
particularly following cardiovascular treatment.

Presented at the following event:

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Torture porn routinely pushes the boundaries of acceptable mainstream levels of violence in Hollywood. The sub-
genre’s crowning achievements, as identified by Gregory A. Burris (2010) are the Saw and Hostel series. Burris
argues the Saw series represents a puritanical mindset running amok, while the Hostel series reflects a culture
struggling to come to terms with the horrors of Abu Ghraib. If scholars like Burris are correct, then one would assume
that their narratives or sequences of torture would in some way reflect the iconic pictures from the Abu Ghraib
scandal. The following discourse analysis co-opts the psychoanalytic perspectives of film scholars Vera Dika, Carol
Clover, and Harry Benshoff and utilizes narrative theory and framing theory to challenge Burris’ position by asserting
that the images of violence on display throughout the Saw and Hostel series potentially reinforce, rather than subvert,
the culturally held belief that America does not engage in torture.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

While the number of international teaching assistants (ITA) from India and China continues to increase at US
universities, these ITAs continue to garner poor student evaluations. One of the possible reasons for low evaluations is
the non-native accent of these international speakers. Research validates that an accent is not a communication barrier
and speaker evaluations based on accents are a sign of stereotyping or prejudice towards the group for which the
accent is a marker (Bent & Bradlow, 2003; Gluszek & Dovidio, 2010; Rubin, 1992). The aim of the present study was
to investigate the role of accents in the evaluations of ITAs and discuss implications for enhancing ITA-student
communication. In a survey-experiment, undergraduate students (n=278) were randomly assigned to listen to one of
the six audio recorded lectures with manipulations of accent and articulation. Results indicated that an accent
influences the teaching evaluation of ITAs by undergraduate students.

Presented at the following event:

7123. Disclosure and Privacy in Social Networking Sites
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

A large body of research argues that self-presentation strategies vary based on audience. But what happens when the
technical features of websites enable—or even require—users to make personal disclosures to multiple audiences at
once, as is often the case on social network sites (SNSs)? Do users apply a lowest common denominator approach,
only making disclosures that are appropriate for all audience members? Do they employ technological tools to
disaggregate audiences? When considering the resources that can be harnessed from SNS interactions, researchers
suggest users need to engage with their network in order to reap benefits. The present study presents a model
including network composition, disclosures, privacy-based strategies, and social capital. Results indicate that (1)
audience size and diversity impacts disclosures and use of advanced privacy settings, (2) privacy concerns have a
larger impact than privacy settings on disclosures; and (3) audience and disclosure characteristics predict bridging
social capital.

Presented at the following event:

6134. Political Speeches and Rhetoric
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

With the number of women in politics growing, the question arises whether they are judged based on the same
standards as their male colleagues or if they must adapt to different sets of expectations among the voters. Language
Expectancy Theory suggests that women are less effective than men using aggressive persuasion strategies because by
being verbally aggressive, they violate social expectations about gender-appropriate conduct and men do not. Two
online experiments were conducted assessing perceptions of speaker credibility, agreement, perceptions of
communicative appropriateness, and perceptions of aggressiveness when verbal aggressiveness and gender were
manipulated in political speeches. Results indicate that verbal aggressiveness negatively affects ratings of messages
and their sources; however, most gender-verbal aggressiveness interactions were nonsignificant.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Public evaluations of EU performance are not only critical indicators of the EU’s output legitimacy, but also shape
future support for an EU-wide government. For citizens to monitor the political performance of the EU requires
relevant facts, yet it is anything but clear if gains in information about EU performance cause change in judgments
about such performance. Drawing on two-wave panel data, this article examines if acquiring information following a
real-world EU decision-making event alters citizens’ judgments about the utilitarian and democratic performance of
the EU. It also examines how this effect differs for people with different levels of general political information. We
find that citizens who acquired performance-relevant information became more approving of the EU’s utilitarian
performance but did not change their judgments about its democratic performance. We also find that individuals with
moderate levels of general political information were affected most strongly by new facts about performance. The
implications of our findings for EU-level representative democracy are considered.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

The impact of technological innovations and reorganizations on journalists and their work is much debated but not
easily answered. Taking the integrated newsroom of Flemish Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) institution VRT as a
case in point, this contribution tries to answer four research questions: What do news workers consider crucial
influences of convergence on the journalistic process (RQ1) and on the quality and professionalism of their work
(RQ2)? What is the impact of newsroom integration on existing relations between newsroom workers and newsroom
management (RQ3)? and on the news workers’ professional identity (RQ4)? Based on a multi-methodological
approach, combining document analysis, in-depth interviews with newsroom management, and an online survey with
VRT news workers, results point to three collisions or tensions related to a clash between the organizational and
professional culture: multi-mediaskilling versus medium-specific identity; technological innovations versus human
responses and perspectives of management versus news workers.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The increase in partisan media in the U.S. has generated renewed debate over the impact of news media on the
public’s political attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on Lazarsfeld’s original delineation among activation, conversion,
and reinforcement effects, this study uses multi-wave panel data to test hypotheses about the impact of partisan news
exposure on vote preferences. I investigate three potential effects of partisan news: (1) activation – motivating
partisans who initially say they are undecided or planning to defect to shift their vote back to their own party’s
candidate; (2) conversion – motivating partisans to shift their vote to the opposing party’s candidate; and (3)
reinforcement – strengthening partisans’ preference for their initial vote choice. Surprisingly, the results reveal only
modest evidence that partisan news reinforces existing vote preferences or helps bring partisans home to their party’s
fold. Far stronger evidence emerges for the conversion influence of news slanted away from partisans’ own views.

The current study applied the common ingroup identity and ingroup projection models to investigate the relationship
between television exposure and automatic perceptions of American nationality identity. The findings suggest that
dual-identification with one’s racial/ethnic group and nationality plays an important role on the relationship between
television exposure and perceptions of America as more inclusive of Latino Americans. Even though overall
television exposure may strengthen the association between America and a specific racial group, this relationship can
be mitigated by specifically thinking about a television show with a diverse cast.
The Importance of Being Challenged: Subjective Movie Evaluation Criteria and Entertainment Experiences with
Challenging Movies, Frank M. Schneider, U of Koblenz-Landau

Presented at the following event:

8121. Challenging Movies: Cognitive and Affective Complexity, Meaningfulness, and Entertainment Experience
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Audience evaluations of movies have often been explored from a gratifications perspective. Recent developments in
social cognition research are focusing on associative and propositional mental processes (Gawronski & Bodenhausen,
2006), thus providing alternative ways to explain the underlying processes of evaluative responses, and thereby
offering new chances to deepen our understanding about the structure and formation of subjective movie evaluations.
This paper briefly reviews current social cognition perspectives on evaluative responses. In the light of the review’s
results, the idea of subjective movie evaluation criteria (SMEC) is introduced. SMEC can be conceptualized as mental
representations of attitudes towards specific movie features (e.g., photography, story) guiding and influencing the
evaluative responses to movies. Findings from four studies examining the dimensionality of SMEC are provided.
Furthermore, the moderating role of important SMEC for enjoying and appreciating challenging movies is discussed
—also with regard to individual differences, cross-situational consistency, and related personality traits.

If we were to view interactivity from the lens of conversation and dialogue, what would we see? A threaded sequence
of messages which are contingent upon one another. This study employs the theoretical principle of message
contingency to examine how interactivity influences user engagement with a website, their attitudes toward it and
behavioral intentions to revisit the site. Using a five-condition, between-participants design (N=110), we manipulated
the level of message contingency, using visualizations of interaction history on a movie search site which featured
both human-machine and human-human interactions. Participants were most absorbed when the site offered a human
chat agent in addition to rich interaction history, but perceived contingency did not increase with the live-chat
affordance. User attitudes and behavioral intentions were mediated by user engagement, which is influenced by
message contingency. Theoretical mechanisms underlying the effects of message interactivity and practical
implications for designing contingency are discussed.

Paper), Matthew A. Carlson, Saint Louis U; Jason Peifer, Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

7527. Making Sense of the "Media Crisis": Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In late 2010, Jon Stewart attracted considerable news media attention by organizing the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or
Fear and, later, openly pressuring lawmakers to pass the Zadroga bill, legislation designed to provide health care to
9/11 responders. The events renewed an interpretive struggle surrounding Stewart in which journalists understood his
activity as signaling a shift in his cultural role. Using the concept of boundary maintenance as a perspective for
analyzing journalists’ interpretations, this study centers on how the journalistic discourse surrounding Stewart and
these two events became a site of boundary work. Three sets of dichotomized symbolic boundaries are explored: tone
(humorous/serious), involvement (commentator/advocate), and position (insider/outsider). We argue that the manner
in which the press evaluated Stewart is broadly informative for what it tells us about how journalistic community
struggles with its own self-understanding during an era of complex cultural, economic, and technological change.
The Influence of Competition, Cooperation, and Player Relationship on Performance, Motivation, and Goal

Game Use (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

To enhance theoretical understanding of how competition and cooperation—two fundamental goal structures—
interact with the relationship type and to provide practical game design guidelines, we conducted an experiment to
study the interaction of the mode of multiplayer gaming (competition vs. cooperation) and the relationship type
between players (positive pre-existing relationship [friends] vs. no pre-existing relationship [strangers]) on player
motivation (as indicated by perceived effort put in the task and goal commitment) and performance of playing a
balloon popping game. The cooperative game mode was found to lead to greater effort put in game and stronger
commitment to the in-game goals than the competitive game mode. In addition, cooperating with friends rather than
strangers further enhanced players’ commitment to their game goals. Goal commitment was also found to be a
mediator between the relationship between multiplayer mode and motivation. Theoretical contributions to the current
literatures practical implications, and directions for future research were discussed.

Presented at the following event:

5127. Implications of Changing Narratives in Television News
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This experimental study examined television news channel changing (AKA grazing, zapping) behavior by focusing on
the viewing duration and cognitive processing of stories that varied in sensational content and packaging. Overall,
these two message-related factors had an independent and interactive effect on how long grazers stayed tuned to a
channel. Moreover, viewers with high trait levels of sensation seeking were identified as more avid news consumers in
everyday life, and in this experimental setting, exhibited different viewing and cognitive response patterns compared
to low sensation seekers. Overall, the results provide evidence that sensational television news content packaged in a
titillating production style were watched the most. Yet, high sensation seekers--despite being drawn to sensational
content--showed less cognitive preference for tabloid packaging than low sensation seekers.

This paper investigates the situation of international migrants, working as live-in domestic workers in Singapore, and
addresses how socio-economic position and cultural predisposition shape social roles and relations in three types of
transnational social spaces; i) kinship groups ii) transnational circuits and iii) transnational communities. The primary
argument is that migrants’ transnational social spaces need to be considered in juxtaposition with local networks in
order to better understand the spatio-temporal shifts experienced as a result of migration (Author, 2012). The second
argument is that communication technologies such mobile phones are both facilitative in mobilizing existing social
resources, and constitutive of new social dynamics that reframe and redefine the relationship with various social
groups, (Author, Under Review). As communication technologies offer greater possibilities for more regular contact
between migrants and their homeland, the intensity of exchanges and new modes of communicating constitute a
distinct phenomenon among migrants in contemporary society. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the implications
of the use of mobile communications on spatial-temporal relations among migrant domestic workers (Ling &
Campbell, 2011). It contributes original insights into the scholarly study of transnational social spaces and stimulates
policy debates on the practical implications of transnational migration and mobile phones on social support resources
and networks for migrant workers, particularly those of lower socioeconomic status. Much of the sociological focus
has shifted from migration to ‘transnationalism’, defined as the processes through which immigrants build social
spaces that connect their home country with their host country. With the advent of mobile telephony, notions of space
and time get reconfigured, for example via ‘micro-coordination’ ((Ling & Yttri, 1999), or the ‘space of
flows’(Castells, 2000). Hence it is incumbent upon researchers to try and identify, interpret and clarify the dynamics
of technologically re-constructed social space in the creation, maintenance and negotiation of relationships with local
and transnational networks. In taking the perspective of Granovetter’s (1973) weak and strong ties, we develop a new
framework to understand the frequency, intensity, type and content of social relations influenced by mobile
communications. References Author. (2012). Seeking the non-developmental within the developmental: Mobile

8132. Media Preferences and Performances
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The present study examines the influence of closely related peers on early adolescents’ television program
preferences. A three-wave panel study among 732 adolescents was conducted during three consecutive years (mean
age = 12.18; 45.6% girls). Conformity to program preferences of close peers is relatively low, as adolescents watch
approximately one in four television programs their close peers watch. Still, adolescents are more likely to conform to
the program preferences of their close peers than to the program preferences of the overall group of same-aged peers.
In line with theoretical expectations on the increasing impact of close peers throughout adolescence, the consistency
in program preferences among close peers increases over time. Structural features of television viewing behavior,
namely overall television viewing and private television access, seem to stimulate conformity to the program
preferences of close peers.

Akiba A. Cohen, Tel Aviv U

Presented at the following event:

6131. Media Effect Perceptions: Processes and Outcomes
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Most studies of media perceptions focused on the way they affect the general public; little research dealt with the way
media perceptions influence those who are depicted by the coverage. This focus is important especially when the
depicted groups hold power positions in society thus the media impact can affect their public conduct. The present
study centers on agents of the criminal justice system (CJS) in Israel who are regularly subjected to media coverage. It
examines the perceived coverage of the CJS in the eye of its agents and explores whether and how these perceptions
influence the agents. Focus groups and in-depth personal interviews were conducted with judges, prosecutors and
police officers. All agents perceived the media as negatively biased against them and affecting them personally and
professionally. The coverage was perceived as hostile and increased the agents’ willingness to engage in the news-
making process and be a part of it.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Gay men are at an increased risk for body image concerns (Kaminski, Chapman, Haynes, & Own, 2005). Persons
living with HIV/AIDS are living longer because of the antiretroviral therapy treatments (Protopopescu et al., 2009),
and are also at risk for body image issues because of the body-related side effects of the medications (Power, Tate,
McGill, & Taylor, 2003). No research has investigated the role of communication in helping to alleviate body image
concerns in gay male HIV/AIDS patients. The purpose of this paper was to determine whether peer communication,
doctor communication, both, or neither contributed best to the reduction of negative body image of self. Results of an
online survey indicated that patient-peer communication, but not patient-provider communication, significantly
predicted lower self-discrepancies associated with body image among gay male HIV/AIDS patients. Results are
explained in light of self-discrepancy theory, and practical implications are discussed.

6250. Social Games, Social Capital, Social Rituals, and Community
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Online gaming gathers billions of players around the globe, which have been shown to virtually connect, to befriend,
and to accumulate online social capital. Today, as online gaming has become one of the major spare-time activities, it
seems worthwhile asking for the underlying factors of online social capital acquisition and if online social capital
might leverage offline social support. We suggested that the online game players’ physical and social proximity as
well as their mutual familiarity influence bridging and bonding social capital. Physical proximity was predicted to
positively influence bonding social capital online. Social proximity and familiarity were hypothesized to foster both,
online bridging and bonding social capital. Additionally, we hypothesized that both social capital dimensions are
positively related to offline social support. The study was settled in e-sports clans. For this online survey, participants
(N = 811) were recruited via the Electronic Sports League (ESL) in several countries. The data confirmed all
hypotheses, with the path analysis model exhibiting an excellent fit. The results complement existing research by
showing that online gaming may leverage strong social ties online, if gamers engage in online activities that continue
beyond the game and extend these with offline activities.
The Influence of Religion on Parental Mediation of Children’s Internet Use: A Study of Indonesian Muslim Mothers,

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The growing use of the Internet by Indonesian children has stoked debate within the country about the need for greater
parental mediation. The polemic surrounding these issues has taken on a distinctly moralistic and religious tone in this
predominantly Muslim country. Cultural norms dictate that mothers play a key role in nurturing all aspects of their
children’s development. Hence, this study examines the influence of religion on Indonesian Muslim mothers’
perceptions of the Internet and their mediation strategies through ethnographic interviews with 70 mothers in
Yogyakarta-Indonesia. Our findings indicate that these mothers seek to ensure that their children use the Internet in
positive ways that are congruent with Islamic principles. They also find it challenging to balance their religious ideals
with the practical realities of living in an era where the Internet is pervasive and secular content is on the rise.
The Influence of Social Categories and Interpersonal Behaviors on Future Intentions and Attitudes to Form Subgroups

6223. Extended Session: Virtual Environment and Representation
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Subgroup formation within larger virtual teams can lead to biased information sharing and conflict. Unfortunately,
studies have not examined how social categories (i.e., in-group vs. out-group status based on zodiac signs) and
interpersonal behaviors (i.e., a teammate behaving positively vs. negatively) influence intentions and attitudes toward
subgrouping in short-term virtual teams. The results showed that, though both factors affected subgrouping choices,
interpersonal behaviors had a stronger effect. Additionally, participants intended to subgroup with in-group members
that behaved positively instead of out-group members that behaved positively. However, there was no evidence for the
“black sheep hypothesis” predicting that in-group members behaving negatively discourage subgrouping. Overall, this
exemplified how minimal, seemingly unimportant categorical cues (e.g., zodiac sign) trigger in-group favoritism and
out-group discrimination in virtual teams as anticipated by social identity models. The findings also illustrated how
interpersonal behaviors robustly affected virtual team dynamics as stated by social information processing theory.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Given the role of mobile online networks in fueling the Arab Spring, it is intriguing to consider the impact of this
emerging “public sphere” amidst Asia’s changing political systems and media landscapes. A key question, then,
becomes whether these gales of telematic political reform are able to surmount the Great Firewall of China and other
statist regimes in the Far East. The present study seeks to better understand social media influences in East Asia by
studying political activity among Chinese netizens. A survey of Chinese college students examines the influence of
online social networks in the context of political attitudes and political participation. Study results reveal a moderate
but positive impact of online social network use on online political engagement. Our study suggests that frequent
users of online social networks are more likely to engage in political discussion online. Online political discussion is
also influenced by political efficacy, such that a more efficacious citizenry is related to more robust online civic
activity. Implications for political change in the social networking era, particularly in regimes that practice Internet
censorship like China’s, are discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Users of Internet news sites have the opportunity to post comments or rate the quality of articles and thereby express
their opinions to other readers. The present study investigated the effects of these peer-generated statements in
combination with different original sources on the perception of online articles. In an experiment, 160 participants
were asked to read a text about the science-related debate on genetically modified food. Source information (website
of a high reputation newspaper vs. low reputation) and the form of user statements (ratings vs. subjective comments
vs. relevant comments vs. none) were systematically varied. Results showed an interaction effect between source and
user statements, indicating that peer-generated statements are only relevant on a highly credible website. With regard
to different forms of user feedback, relevant comments and ratings had stronger persuasive effects than subjective
comments.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The present study investigates media effects on stereotypic attitudes toward immigrants in a political campaign that
dealt with the naturalization of immigrants. By combining a content analysis of the campaign coverage with a two-
wave panel survey the study found that negative news portrayals of immigrants increased stereotypic attitudes in the
public in the course of the campaign. Additionally, the frequent exposure to positive news portrayals of immigrants
reduced the activation of stereotypic beliefs. However, these findings are contingent on people’s issue-specific
knowledge. Only people with low to moderate knowledge were influenced by negative and positive news stories about
immigrants in the campaign. High sophisticates were resistant to the effects of campaign news.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

In recent years, innovations like Web 2.0 changed both journalists’ and recipients’ communication roles, the classical
frontiers between both groups blurred. Today, recipients are able to participate in a more active way: they blog,
comment news articles, and upload pictures and texts. To put it in a nutshell: They became communicators as well.
That change in communication roles is a theoretical as well as an empirical challenge for journalism research. Several
case studies published very recently analyzed journalists’ or recipients’ Web 2.0 usages, but the theoretical
clarification of the relation between journalists and recipients is still lacking. The present paper suggests using
Schimank’s so called actor-structure-dynamics (Schimank, 2005, 2007) as a new theoretical approach to analyze the
inter-action of journalists with their audience(s). It shows the theoretical potential of Schimank’s theory and how it
can be applied methodically.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study explored whether apology, as a crisis response strategy used in the current Toyota recall crisis while
interacted with product involvement, influenced the organization’s reputation restoration and customers’ future
purchase intention. The impact of the interaction between the perception of an apology and the involvement was
measured for 252 participants in a 2 (perception to apology: high sincerity vs. low sincerity) × 2 (product
involvement: high vs. low) quasi-experiment design. The results showed that merely implemented apology did not
repair the damaged reputation of the organization and did not increase the purchase intentions. However, it was found
that the strategy was effective only for participants who were highly involved and perceived the strategy as highly
sincere on the post-crisis reputation, but not on the purchase intentions. Practical and theoretical implications are
discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Typically, increased access to the Internet is understood as democratization, in which the Web has liberated audiences
from the tyranny of big media. By contrast, I examine sports companies' incorporation of fandom in the Internet era as
a process of domestication, in which fan activities become known, regulated, and normalized. The essay articulates a
novel method of analysis for fandom; through an interface critique examining the affordances of the official websites
of objects of fandom, I argue that the affordances are a form of discourse that produces normative claims about the
purpose and appropriate use of such a site. In this way, the design-focused analysis makes sense of the
sociotechnological processes in operation with respect to fans as productive power.

Within the theoretical framework of agenda setting, this study examined whether and how online public opinion
influences the issue agendas of the traditional media and the government at the national level within Chinese specific

government, whereas the government set the agenda of online publics on some occasions. Bidirectional agenda-setting
influences were found between the online public agenda and the traditional media agenda. Overall, the evidence in
this study suggests that online public opinion has become a competing agenda-setting force in contemporary China.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement and the Tea Party (TP) movement are two recent examples of quickly
emerging social movements. Research on the TP has suggested that while there has been some genuine grassroots
activism, the movement has also been significantly facilitated by established right-wing insiders and financial donors.
While research on OWS is still in its early days, it does not appear that OWS has benefited from the same insider
facilitation and funding. In the paper, I consider the comparative role of Internet usage in the TP and OWS activity,
attempting to discern whether Internet usage played a different role in the emergence of the two movements, and
whether any differences might owe to the differences in insider versus grassroots use of new media.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

Popular narratives assume that digital media play a central role mobilizing voters, especially young adults. Based on
unique survey data of a diverse group or young adults from Spring, 2009, we consider the relationship between online
and offline political engagement around the time of the 2008 U.S. presidential elections. Thanks to our rich data set,
we are able to consider various types of online and offline activities in the process while taking into consideration
more traditional measures. Our findings suggest that online forms of political engagement complement offline
engagement and the pathways to young adults' political participation remain relatively stable. We also find an
association between Internet skills and social network site usage and greater levels of engagement. These findings
imply that although Internet usage alone is unlikely to transform existing patterns in political engagement radically, it
may facilitate the creation of new pathways for the reduction of political inequalities.

This study examines the effect of motivation to adapt on the cultural adaptation of immigrants under the conceptual
framework of Kim’s Cross-cultural Adaptation Theory. Through a survey of 808 Chinese immigrants who have
migrated to Singapore in recent years, this study shows that motivation to adapt is a significant factor influencing an
individual’s interpersonal communication and mass media communication oriented towards the host society. Such
communications, in turn, significantly predict an individual’s extent of intercultural transformation. Factors such as
the immigrant’s intended length of stay and perceived receptivity of the host culture have also been found to
significantly affect adaptation motivation.

Contrary to expectations, the violent environment which Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and Laredo, Texas are facing has
had limited impact on the Texas A&M International University student newspaper The Bridge. The paper has
increased its online presence tremendously from 40 viewers per week to 3600. Also, the number of students taking the
course, Introduction to Journalism, has increase 200% from 10 to 30 students in one year. Every student reporter must
take this course in order to be able to publish his or her journalistic content on The Bridge. In terms of the business
model, the paper has increased it sales by 45%. This paper presents the strategy which the student oriented newspaper
has used to achieve success, in a context of violence focusing on how to keep students interested in journalism classes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This paper seeks to understand the development of the Korean Wave in Taiwan and how it, together with the Japan
Craze, contributes to the emergence of an East Asian identity. Confucianism in East Asian cultures, the political
relations between Taiwan and Korea, and the structure of Taiwanese TV industry will be addressed to study how
these factors influence the rise of the Korean Wave. Using the concepts of “hybrid cultural form” (Kim, 2005) and
“East Asian identity” (Chua, 2004), this paper argues that the consumption of cultural products in the Japan Craze and
the Korean Wave is conducive to an emerging East Asian identity. However, the emergence of an East Asian identity
is a dynamic process. Both the suppressing and the addressing of nationalities are happening in the consumption of
relevant cultural products. As such, it is a process of recognizing both “sameness” and “difference” between selves
and others.

the “produser” and the seeming ubiquity of user-generated content. Practitioners contend, however, that their practices
are more vital than ever in an era of placeless digital media. With such a debate in mind, this paper investigates the
changes, challenges and opportunities present in contemporary American community media through a case study of
PhillyCAM, a community television/community media center in Philadelphia, PA. Through ethnographic methods, it
is suggested that community media navigate these tensions through reliance on place and media. That is to say that in
shifting from “community television” to “community media” these organizations are able to situate themselves as
dynamic components in a local and participatory media ecosystem, and are able to develop strategic partnerships, seek
new funding opportunities and develop sustainable practices, while remaining true to their original mandates.

5324. Inequality and Digital Divide
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

As billions of dollars are invested in mitigating the digital divide, stakes get higher to gain validity for these cost-
intensive endeavors, focusing more on online activities that have clear socio-economic outcomes. Hence, farmers in
rural India are watched closely to see how they access crop prices online, while their Orkuting gets sidelined as
anecdotal. This paper argues that this is a fundamental problem as it treats users in emerging markets as inherently
different from those in the West. After all, it is now commonly accepted that much of what users do online in
developed nations are leisure-oriented. This perspective does not crossover easily into the ICTD world where the
utilitarian angle reigns. This paper argues that much insight can be gained in bridging the academic communities of
ICTD and New Media. By negating online leisure in "Third World" settings, our understandings on this new user
market can be critically flawed.

My paper brings historical perspective to privacy and surveillance concerns about location-- ‐based social networks
(LBSNs). To varying degrees, all LBSNs require users to make themselves visible—to authenticate presence with a
password or handle. I situate LBSNs alongside multiple contemporary and historical technologies and practices that
produce information and connect it with physical space. These technologies include many devices that fall under the
rubric of ubiquitous computing, as well as 4G wireless technologies that articulate a mobile’s physical GPS location it
its online IP address. Many of these technologies have antecedent practices in requiring national flags on ships,
copyright pages in books, and call signs in radio broadcasts. This paper’s main contribution is to change the terms of
the discussion in problematizing LBSNs. When we talk about LBSNS, privacy, and surveillance, we need to account
for the historically antecedent practices that already frame how we approach this technological conjuncture. This
paper’s second contribution shows how practices of camouflage and invisibility that may lie in tension with the
visibility required for full socialization in LBSNs. First, I argue that past and present practices of making visible, such
as voluntarily using Foursquare or involuntarily communicating GPS coordinates to Apple are not the revelation of
some essential being—the identity of the user—but are the very production of that identity. Making-- ‐visible is a
becoming--‐visible, in the Deleuzean sense. That is, practices of making and masking visibility produce certain spaces
and mobilities and render our relations and identities governable by oneself and others. Second, I show how
elusiveness, invisibility, and camouflage gain new political meaning because of the impetus for tracking and making
objects visible, and because visibility is both a social and technological practice. Two examples clarify this point. A
historical example is the controversial introduction of the submarine into combat. The invisibility of the submarine
created tension with the required visibility of a nation’s flag— by which a ship could be identified as neutral,
combatant, or civilian. A recent example is how the Google+ social network first prohibited pseudonymous users but
later permitted pseudonymity. People for and against pseudonymity made equally logical and sound arguments using
privacy, surveillance, and safety as recourse. I elaborate on these and other examples to demonstrate my third point,
which is that our technological politics are impoverished when we resort to a--‐historical, transcendent notions of
private and public. We run into similar problems when we invoke a dichotomy between surveillance and camouflage,
visibility and invisibility. This section builds on Andrejevic’s work on iCulture, labor, and surveillance. My paper
does not theorize visibility and invisibility as analogous to power vs. resistance. Sometimes, resistance requires a
making--‐visible (e.g., Occupy Wall Street), as much as power induces invisibility (e.g., Guantanamo Bay). The
tensions of visibility and invisibility are analyzed through specific, historical examples of making mobilities visible.
Without replicating the dichotomies I critique, my paper brings into relief how LBSNs produce and govern subjects,
relations, and mobilities.

5327. On the Homefront: The Role of National Identity in News Coverage
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

This paper examines the journalistic practices associated with the management of visibility of kidnapping and
captivity stories around the world, based on a comparative study of the news coverage of seven cases of Colombian,
French, Israeli, and US citizens who were taken captive between 2002 and 2008 during the ongoing conflicts in
Colombia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza. It identifies and explains differences in the general level of visibility given to
these stories, and analyzes in depth three patterns of high visibility management across time, including “sustained
visibility”, “delayed visibility” and “cyclical visibility”. Emerging from this paper is the complex interplay between
different dimensions of visibility and invisibility in journalistic practices, as well as the notion of reverse
newsworthiness, referring to the refashioning of news criteria based on the need to maintain a certain level of
visibility for a news story at a given point in time.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The social movement commonly known as the Arab Spring began to stall almost as quickly as it began. The process
by which social movements move through time and space can be understood as a process of innovation diffusion. New
methodologies are beginning to enable the observation of such diffusion processes in almost real time, and in real
space in one of the increasingly more popular domain—new media. A Spatial Web Automatic Reasoning and
Mapping System (SWARMS) is described and illustrated with web-based searches of keywords relevant to Arab
Spring. Using map algebra, and with the potential for using computational linguistics, the intent is to demonstrate the
feasibility of both the theoretical model of diffusion, as well as the relevance of the geospatial dimension in
understanding another dimension of diffusion—the meaning space of ideas as they spread through new media. Such
methodology, especially as it is refined and integrated with other forms of media such as blogs, micro-blogs, and
social media, holds substantial promise for understanding the communicative dynamics of social movements and
social influence.

Although there is evidence in media priming research that the media priming effect fades with time, we lack clear
empirical evidence from a controlled experimental design. We investigated the media priming effect of reading crime
tabloid articles which overrepresented foreigners as criminals on a subsequent real-world reality judgment (i.e.,
estimated frequency of criminal foreigners). We utilized a factorial experimental design (N = 465) with the between-
subjects factors treatment (priming, control) and temporal delay of the post-measurement (three minutes, sixteen
minutes, one day, and two days after the treatment). We found that the media priming effect followed an exponential
decay function. In addition, we found that vigilance (i.e., the tendency to intensify the intake and processing of threat-
relevant information) moderated the decay of the threat-related media priming effect.

6128. Cross-National Comparisons of Political News
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

Economic crisis have fundamental origins, but the mass media may aggravate crises. The Efficient Market
Hypothesis (EMH), maintains that news will only exert an instantaneous effect on financial markets. Recent research
gives evidence for long term effects of news in the mass media on consumer confidence. Effects of negative
sentiments in the press on financial markets appear to be counterbalanced within the same week. The current study on
the role of news during the Euro Crisis (2009-2011) shows also longer lasting effects. The study investigates the
impact of US news, UK news and German news on the major US and EU stock market indices and on the euro-dollar
exchange rate. News on fears rather than hopes, for example, indirectly contributes to an economic crisis. News about
a fall in share prices and news about societal fears may prompt financial journalists to call for strong leadership.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Stakeholders influence planned organizational changes in fundamental ways through their communicative enactment
of change. Conversations between stakeholders are of principal importance to building and sustaining community
during organizational change. To elucidate the features of context that may influence such communication, we present
a multilevel structural equation model of the results of a multisite experiment investigating the production of
compliance-seeking messages in response to hypothetical change scenarios. We use a message design logics approach
to theorize how communicators draw on institutional and organizational contexts to make messages that address
multiple goals emergent in the complex communicative situations typical during change. The organizational versus
institutional relevance of a change, status differences between communicators, and the intensity of participants' beliefs
about changes influenced message sophistication and should be considered in efforts to craft the communicative
negotiation of change.

Presented at the following event:

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper studies the framing of political messages by Chinese independent candidates through microblogging. We
followed a sample of independent candidates’ microblogging sites in Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, from the
moment they announced their candidacy in May 2011 to mid-October 2011. We conducted a frame analysis of the
posts and categorized them by themes ranging from those that were political or critical of government, to collective
action and independent candidacy frames. The study shows that Chinese independent candidates place more emphasis
on political themes, criticism of government, and independent candidacy themes, while collective action frames were
used less by independent candidates. In addition, we found significant differences between the themes emphasized by
female and male independent candidates as well as by verified and unverified account subscribers. We hope that this
study will contribute to the understanding of social media’s role in political communication within systems
characterized by limited political opportunity such as China.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This study investigates the effects of news frames on public politicization (i.e., salience and polarization) and the
moderating role of prior attitudes on this relationship. An experiment was set-up among a representative sample of the
Dutch population between June and July 2011. The results yield no significant direct framing effects, only when prior
attitudes are taken into account significant framing effects become visible. Bigger incongruence between the tone of
the message and individual attitudes causes a decrease in issue salience among the initially negative and an increase in
among the initially positive through a mechanism of risk perception. Incongruence also yields significant change in
line with the tone of the message among the initially negative, and insignificant changes among the positive. As the
results largely depend upon prior attitudes, framing effects can either add or reduce politicization dependent on the
composition of the population.

Student interest in STEM related careers and their eventual obtainment of a STEM related job are hot topics in
today’s knowledge intensive economy in the U.S. Yet, little is known about the processes a student goes through when
deciding what to be when he or she grows up. This study explored the differential (directly and indirectly through
personal experience) influences of the messages parents send their children on students’ STEM related career
interests. Evidence was found to support the role that parents’ messages have on their child’s career interests.
Interestingly, the moderated model was only significant among low SES households and this model fit Hispanic and
white student data differently, suggesting that VAS messages are not received in the same ways for all students. The
implications of this and possibilities for future research are discussed.

This study examined the moderating effect of media interactivity on the relationship between video game violence and
short-term aggression and the mediating role of self-concept. A total of 169 male undergraduate students participated
in the experiment, which had a 2 (media interactivity: play vs. watch) × 2 (violence: violent vs. non-violent) factorial
design. The results showed that media interactivity and violence significantly affected participants’ short-term
aggressive affect. Media interactivity also had a main effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A conditional
moderating effect—in that participants who played the violent video game displayed greater aggressive affect and
blood pressure than participants who watched the recorded violent game play—was also found. An interaction effect
between media interactivity and violence was found for automatic self-concept. The current study extended existing
literature and further demonstrated that media interactivity exhibited significant influence on media effects after
controlling violent content.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Following the May 1, 2011 death of Osama bin Laden, newspapers throughout the reported on the story as public
interest swelled. Public support for bin Laden’s death was largely consistent, yet newspaper headlines across the
country presented different versions of the event, with some exclaiming that “[We] Got the Bastard!” whereas others
simply informing a curious nation that “bin Laden [is] dead.” A model of intuitive morality and exemplars (MIME,
Tamborini, 2011) provides an explanation for the reciprocal relationships between audience moral foundations and the
content produced for these audiences. The present study applies a content analysis derived from MIME to explain
observed production differences as a function of the dominant political philosophy for various areas of the US.
Newspapers in more conservative-leaning regions framed the story as patriotic “killing” or “slaughter” of bin Laden
while newspapers from liberal-leaning regions framed the story in terms of justice restoration.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper shows that Moroccan elites allow for a continued influence of the French ex-colonial power in the
television industry while making sure that the state’s cultural agenda is preserved through censorship. I argue that
elites’ social background and their desire to re-affirm their position of power within Moroccan society make them
gravitate towards a specific type of French-Moroccan hybridity, one that is shaped by discourses of colonial
supremacy as well as dominant discourses of power within the nation. Using hybridization theory, the chapter
examines how professionals’ personal biographies and connections with the former colonial power, as well as global
pressures towards democratization and liberalization, make them seek a certain form of interconnectedness with the
French media industry. The chapter also unveils how the French media model is retrieved and re-adapted to provide
possibilities for censorship, and allow for the King’s and the government’s unconditional control of the local media.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Rhetorical analysis of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language rhetoric in its website is performed: (a)
to interpret the worldview manifest in its cyber rhetoric, and identify the rhetorical strategies; and (b) to infer what
this worldview demonstrates about its counterpublic stance towards (erstwhile) President Mubarak’s authoritarian
regime. The analysis unearths a worldview characterized by ambiguities, which point to four core elements: (a)
distrust towards the Mubarak regime and Western agents who aid authoritarian governments; (b) the need to be valued
by Western agents; (c) the significance of using caution in its online communications as a result of functioning within
an authoritarian environment; and (d) the flux resulting from its efforts at transitioning into an organization with an
Islamic essence with democratic aspirations. Through the paradigms—show of support, portrayal of opposition, and
display of contradiction—the rhetoric effectively conjures this worldview.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper reflects on the methods used in a research project on DJ culture, hip hop, electronica and punk rock. The
‘Muslim’ is conceived as noun and adjective, as real and imagined figures and spaces, as attachments, identifications
and structures of feeling. The research encompasses the discursive and technological mediations of Muslims and non-
Muslims. An interpretive focus on the politics of representation and Muslim subjects is integrated with approaches to
affective engagements with digital media and the specificities of musical communication. The musical context might
be characterized as ‘Western music after World Music’, the political conjuncture as one marked by wars on Muslims,
terror, and multicultural anxieties. The paper looks at the following problems: mapping music formations and the
volatile nature of the music archive; the relative weight of analysis given to institutions, to texts, and to local, national
and transnational forces and actors in the production of meaning. Nabeel Zuberi Department of Film, Television and

¬Biases influence the way we interact with the world, including our day-to-day experiences with other people, groups,
and issues. We hold explicit attitudes, or subjective views of which we are cognizant. We also hold implicit attitudes
and associations, and stereotypes we might not even recognize we hold because they are unconscious, automatic. But
how do these attitudes – these biases - develop? Findings from earlier studies help explain the contributors to bias in
isolation instead of in concert or as an aggregate. For example, cultivation theory from mass communication research
helps explain the role of the media in shaping our views of the world. However, it does not explain individual factors
that influence bias development, such as an individual’s gender, age, or race. This paper presents a myriad model of
bias development, which helps explain the influence of individual, social, ideological and mediated influences on the
development and reinforcement of bias. The present study does not report the findings from a single study but rather
reports findings from a series of experiments conducted by the authors. Findings from all four studies suggest that the
correlates of anti-fat attitudes may lie in a myriad of factors ranging from individual factors, social factors, ideology or
cultural norms, and media exposure. Thus, the following model is advanced to help better explain the development
and formation of bias against others, and we propose that the following model could be used to better understand the
development of bias in a variety of areas beyond weight: bias against gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, and
mental illness. Our proposed model does not predict a direct order of influence: we are not suggesting that one level of
influence is more powerful or influential than others as we would argue that the development of bias is very
individualized. These and other findings are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

A population of NBC’s primetime coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics (64 hours) was analyzed to determine
differences between the media treatment of U.S. and non-U.S. Olympians. Results showed that U.S. athletes were
highlighted at three to four times to rate their successes would warrant. In addition, American athletes were more
likely to be depicted as succeeding because of their intellect, commitment, and consonance while non-American
athletes were more likely to be depicted as failing because they lacked the strength and skill of other athletes. From a
personality/ physicality standpoint, American athletes received enhanced comments about their outgoing/extroverted
nature while non-American athletes received more comments about the size and parts of their bodies. Ramifications
for framing theory and Olympic nationalism research are articulated.

This paper examines the militarization and corresponding normalization of the FPS. Once the targets of public vitriol
when players ran around killing demons, zombies and aliens, now that players are more typically tasked with killing
other human beings FPS games are largely uncontroversial touchstones of contemporary popular culture. Though the
cultural status of the FPS vis-à-vis its increasingly realistic depictions of violence seems counterintuitive, I show that
public perceptions of FPS games improved as their themes became more militaristic and their narratives more directly
supportive of American imperialism. In other words, the normalization of the genre is a result of the its imbrication
within a powerful regime of truth that articulates militarism, nationalism, and xenophobia to the FPS game form,
rendering it an intelligible nodal point in the matrix of American life.

In a remarkably short period of time, Occupy Wall Street (OWS) spurred the outpouring of activists on the streets of
New York City and inspired hundreds of protests around the world. Drawing on communication and social movement
theory and content analysis of activist and journalist accounts of the movement, I analyze a number of factors behind
the rapid scaling and diffusion of OWS protests. First, I argue that the nature of the grievance and its global
dimensions provided the conditions for the spread the movement. Second, the professional press played a significant
role in publicizing the movement to general audiences and activating sympathizers. Third, information and
communication technologies provided the background organizational context for the coordination, planning, and
representation of the movement. Finally, the outside organizational actors aligned with the ideology of OWS that
recruited from their active memberships provided crucial support for the movement’s growth and links to
policymakers.

Due to the increase in international business, organizations are more likely to find themselves trying to manage crises
in more than one country, what can be termed international crises. Crossing borders adds increased complexity to
what can be an already complicated situation. The rhetorical arena approach has been developed by Frandsen and
Johansen (2010b) to address the complex nature of some crises. The rhetorical arena is a broad approach for locating
the key elements in a crisis. This paper combines the rhetorical arena with theories that take a more micro view of
communication to explore the crisis in China that developed when protests began attacking Carrefour in retaliation for
French protestors attacking the Olympic Torch when it travelled through France in 2008. The paper illustrates the
value of combining the rhetorical arena with more specific crisis communication-related theories to yield insights into
crisis communication that can benefit both crisis managers and crisis communication researchers.

Scholarly research on cyberbullying generally documents the nature and extent of cyberbullying, and some research
suggests that there may be sex differences in the perpetration and victimization of cyberbullying. This study goes
beyond the existing literature by comparing victims’ experiences of on- and off-line bullying to investigate whether
there are sex differences in the psychological consequences of online and offline victimization. Additionally, the
present study connects cyberbullying with the aggression literature by suggesting that cyberbullying may be
considered a form of indirect relational aggression, whereas traditional bullying is a form of direct physical
aggression.

The social phenomenon of nostalgia has been described as a mix of individual and social attitudes, enforced or
weakened by cultural and/or political strategies. The culture industry often uses nostalgia as a tool for involving
audiences in movies, TV programs, advertising. In these cases audiences are supposed to be susceptible to the charms
of the past. In addition, many researches demonstrate the importance of people’s youth experiences in building the
we-sense of their generation. Therefore, we can suppose that the genre of nostalgia allows people of the same
generation to identify through common nostalgic feelings. The web 2.0 is full of sites inspired by the strategy of
nostalgia. This paper analyzes Italian on-line user-generated production of nostalgic revivals from the 1960s and 80s
in order to understand whether the role, the style and the contents of user-generated content follow, integrate or
contradict the traditional nostalgic genre of the cultural industry.

Within the hospital setting, the “hand-off” meeting is a communication event between and among interns, residents
and attending physicians that occurs at the end and /beginning of a working shift. In this meeting, information is
transferred from one set of medical professionals to another. This manuscript reports the findings of an exploratory
study into the hand-off process through the use of naturalistic observations at the shift-change meetings and of “work
rounds” in the Critical Care Intensive Care unit and follow-up interviews with interns, residents and attending
physicians. The findings suggest that there is a difference between the messages that are sent and the information that
the medical professionals would like to receive. Further, there is a discussion as to the impact of the 80-hour work
week as it impacts the hand-off meeting.

The Perceived Leadership Communication Questionnaire (PLCQ) is a short, reliable, and valid instrument for
measuring leadership communication from both perspectives of the leader and the follower. Drawing on a
communication-based approach to leadership and following a theoretical framework of interpersonal communication
processes in organizations, this paper describes the development and validation of a one-dimensional 6-item scale in
four samples (total N = 604). Cronbach’s α had an average of .80 over the four studies. All confirmatory factor
analyses yielded good to excellent model fit indices. Convergent validity was established by average positive
correlations of .69 with subdimensions of transformational leadership and leader–member exchange scales.
Furthermore, nonsignificant correlations with socially desirable responding indicated discriminant validity. Finally,
criterion validity was supported by a moderately positive correlation with job satisfaction (r = .31).
The Personal and the Political: The Power and Influence of Stories in Deliberation, Nuri Kim, Stanford U

Presented at the following event:

6335. Political Deliberation and The Public Sphere
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Theorists have given mixed assessments about storytelling in deliberation. For some, stories are seen as particular,
idiosyncratic, and unrepresentative accounts that run counter to the essence of deliberative discourse. Others treasure
it for its power and authenticity as it enlarges the discussion. This paper presents a case study, containing both a
qualitative and quantitative component, which probes the significance of stories in deliberation. Stories are found to
be powerful in deliberative settings due to its narrative characteristics that facilitate transportation into others’ lives.
In addition, listening to personal stories during deliberation positively influenced one’s knowledge about the issue
afterwards.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study investigated the persuasive potential of disgust appeals. The Cognitive Functional Model (CFM) was used
as a framework for understanding how emotions work to influence acceptance or rejection of a persuasive message.
Value-relevant involvement (VRI) was included as an independent variable. Participants (N=198) were given a pre-
test of attitudes, intention to become vegetarian, and VRI. They then viewed either a disgust-evoking message or a
non-disgust evoking message and rated the message for how disgusting they perceived it to be. Message avoidance,
attitudes, intention to become vegetarian, sadness, guilt, and number of message-relevant thoughts were also assessed.
The disgust video was seen as more disgusting than the non-disgust video. The interaction between VRI and
dependent variables was non-significant, but main effects for nearly all dependent variables existed. Results indicate
that disgust-evoking messages are persuasive, that value-relevant involvement has a role in disgust appeals, and
provides support for the cognitive-functional model.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The paper explores how the politics of pity are complicated by geographies of reception, taking the mediation of the
1998 murders of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. as case studies. Analysis of the news texts alone would suggest
that this coverage facilitated key political complacencies, in locating the objects of denunciation in individuals on the
margins of society. Yet, audiences in the communities where the murders took place were mobilized and strongly
affected by the coverage. Local audiences understood themselves to be implicated in the suffering by virtue of the
cultural values associated with place. This positioning became a resource for local audiences to mobilize into
politically active publics, aimed at legal reform. Analysis of the way the representation of suffering divided the
audience on geographic lines highlights connections between the mediation of suffering and the ability of localized
audiences to form communities in relation to others’ suffering. Jennifer Petersen is an Assistant Professor in the
Media Studies Department at the University of Virginia. Her research interests include philosophy of communication,
discourse ethics, and cultural approaches to law and journalism. She has just completed a book, Murder, the Media
and the Politics of Public Feelings: Remembering Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr., that examines the way media
texts convey affect and how this in turn becomes an important component of political discourse and legislative action.
She is currently working on a history of the ways that new communication technologies have refigured ideas about
communication and democratic governance within the law.
The Polarizing Effects of News Preference on Political Learning and Participation in a High-Choice Media
Environment, Su Jung Kim, Northwestern U

Presented at the following event:

5235. Political News and Political Engagement
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The proliferation of information sources has significantly changed the ways in which people consume news.
Following Prior’s (2007) argument that content preferences become a key predictor of total news consumption and
political engagement in a media-abundant environment, this study examines how news preference and individuals’
media use level affect news exposure, political knowledge and participation. By using a single-source data set that
combined peoplemeter data and survey reports from the same respondents, this study investigated whether the
interaction between news preference and multimedia use explains the gaps in total news consumption, political
knowledge, and voter turnout. The results suggest that news preference increases the gap in total news consumption
between those who heavily use network television or the Internet and those do not, but this polarizing pattern is not
found regarding political knowledge. In case of political participation, the interaction effect of news preference and
Internet use is found.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

The study at hand utilized a pre- versus post-test experimental design to test the possible effects that a television
program can have on viewers’ attitudes toward deafness. Data from a total of 211 core audience viewers of the
television drama, Switched at Birth, completed a pre-exposure questionnaire and post-exposure questionnaire utilizing
two popular standardized scales measuring attitudes toward deafness. After exposure to one of three episodes of the
program, viewers’ attitudes improved according to one scale (Cooper et al., 2004) at a level of statistical significance,
and improved directionally according to the second (Berkay et al., 1995). Results reveal that it is possible for such
television programming to have a positive impact on society’s opinions towards Deaf culture – supporting notions
implied by Cultivation Theory that media can help cultivate opinions and attitudes in consumers of media.
Recommendations for uses of each scale as well as future research in the area are provided.

5523. Mobile Device Use
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This study attempts to understand how the use of new communication technology, specifically mobile phone use, is
associated with offline homogeneous, heterogeneous communication, and political media use in the case of Colombia.
Whether and how social stratification of the public may influence these relationship is also investigated. After
conducting correlation and regression analyses, findings show that the use of mobile phone has a strong, positive main
effect on facilitating all the outcome measures: offline homogeneous communication, heterogeneous communication,
and political media use. The study also revealed that the more people use their mobile technologies to achieve social
and political mobilization, the more frequently they seek political information through various media outlets. Most
interestingly, our study finds significant interaction effects between mobile technology use and social stratum of
individuals on heterogeneous communication and political media use, such that mobile phone use especially benefits
people of lower social strata. Further discussion on the study findings is offered.

Presented at the following event:

Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

The current research tests to what extent wearing positively, negatively, and ambiguously stereotyped clothing affects
implicit behavior in men. Research into the effects of stereotype primes would predict that wearing stereotyped
clothing may induce stereotype-congruent behavior, there is no empirical evidence to support this claim. Three studies
test, a.o., whether wearing (1) Hugo Boss suits affects cognitive performance and dominance in social interactions, (2)
orange “prison” overalls affects anti-social behavior and verbal expressions, and (3) Dutch soccer jerseys affects
cognitive performance and paralinguistic communication. Results show that wearing Hugo Boss suits marginally
improved cognitive performance and significantly increased dominant non-verbal behavior. Wearing prison overalls
induced profane language and self-reported anti-social behaviors. Wearing “Orange” jerseys negatively influenced
cognitive performance, and induced aroused speech (variation in pitch). All in all, results show that the clothes we
wear help to bring to bear both positive and negative facets of our behavior.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Despite their pivotal role in the healthcare delivery system, not much is known about the licensed practical nurse
(LPN) (also referred to as licensed vocational nurse in Texas and California). Home health care and long-term care
facilities rely on LPNs to provide bedside care for patients. Although LPNs experience a relentless demand for
emotional reassurance from patients and families as they perform beside duties, they receive no formal
communication skills training. A pre-post survey design was used to assess the COMFORT communication training
curriculum provided to 32 LPNs. COMFORT is an acronym for a nurse communication training that is grounded in
the principles of communication theory and has been adapted for clinical settings. A comparison of mean scores on
communication skills attitudes and perceived nursing competency revealed statistically significant improvement in
attitudes. Further research should address the nurse’s ability to perform COMFORT communication skills in the
clinical setting.

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This study surveyed Dutch adolescents and adults about their video gaming behavior in order to asses the prevalence
of problematic gaming. A representative national panel of 902 respondents aged 14 to 81 took part in the study. The
results show that gaming in general is a wide-spread and popular activity among the Dutch population. Casual games
and browser games were reported as most popular type of game. Online games are played by a relatively small part of
the respondents, yet considerably more time is spent on these online games than on casual games and offline games.
The prevalence of problematic gaming in the total sample is 1.3%. Among adolescents and young adults problematic
gaming occurs in 3.3% of cases. Particularly male adolescents seem to be more vulnerable to developing problematic
gaming habits.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

How did communication scholarship come to develop the currently dominant research paradigm focusing on the
“strength” of media effects? Research paradigms traditionally proffer not just a puzzle but also a method for
addressing the puzzle. In this case the received methodology is to correlate some measure of media exposure with
various professed attitudes, changes in attitudes or observed behaviors. This presentation reviews the historical
origins of this mission to demonstrate that media effects are ‘not so minimal’ in the theories of propaganda and mass
society in the mid twentieth century. Although theorists now posit a more active and constructivist audience,
conceptions of victimization persist. The evolving ecology of the “new media” offers an opportunity to rethink the
fundamental conceptions of “medium” and “audience.”

Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The western protagonist who journeys into the depths of his/herself by traveling in “exotic” locales is a familiar
narrative, and one that is echoed in the 2010 Hollywood adaptation of Eat Pray Love. In the film, Elizabeth Gilbert,
played by Julia Roberts, renders “the Other” visible through her voice, exemplifying what Richard Dyer has called
“the claim of power” that accompanies white privilege: the claim to speak for all of humanity. In this essay, I explore
the way this claim to power is visually constructed in EPL, analyzing the depiction of people and place through the
images utilized and the manipulation of the camera lens. I argue that the juxtaposition of image, sound, and narrative
in the film, both in “god’s eye” views of places and in up-close character depictions, perpetuate the western claim to
speak for humanity, while staging and commodifying difference through visual tropes of Orientalism.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Guiding by the overarching research question of how cautionary discourse about ICT use is taking shape in online
fora, this exploratory essay sketches the pushback on digital/social media participation as it has emerged over the last
couple years through online inscriptions. This analysis does not attempt a systematic empirical survey of news media,
blogs, or public conversations on the topic. Rather, it presents an analysis of discourses accessed from a wide variety
of online sources such as news articles, blog posts, social media industry publications, civic-oriented websites, and
other types of media reports, to trace the rising tide of diverse voices articulating desires for freedom from digital
ICTs rather than through them.
The Quality of End-of-Life Communication in Families Matters More Than the Quantity, Allison Marie Scott, U of

Presented at the following event:

6551. Top Three Papers in Interpersonal Communication
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Previous research on end-of-life communication in families has largely considered whether family members have
talked about end-of-life health care (quantity of talk), but not whether certain characteristics of that discourse matter
(quality of talk). In the current study, a multiple goals theoretical perspective was adopted to compare frequency of
communication and sophistication of communication in predicting important outcomes of end-of-life conversations in
families. Multilevel linear modeling analysis of reports from 67 dyads of older adults and their adult children
demonstrated that quality of communication significantly predicted concordance in predicting one another’s end-of-
life preferences, completion of end-of-life documentation, relational satisfaction, and relational closeness. Quantity of
communication was not significantly related to any of the measured outcomes. These results suggest that it is
important to address quality of talk in implementing interventions aimed at improving end-of-life decision making in
families.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

The aim of this essay is to explore how contemporary Brazilian films reproduce grand narratives of the favela that
subjugate, marginalize and exclude Afro Brazilians in society. I divide the essay into four sections. The first section
elaborates how a contextual analysis is a excellent and penetrating tool for a coalesced post-structural and post-
colonialism epistemology to deconstruct representation and narratives revolving around race and racism in Brazilian
film. The second section provides a sociohistorical explanation of why Brazil is a crucial locale for those of us
concerned with race and (anti)racism. Next, I analyze how the spatial relations in Brazilian films construe racialized
nations that reproduce racial inequalities, and grand colonial narratives denigrating and hegemonically dominating
Blackness in Brazil that mirror society and is reflective of current literature on race and racism in Brazil. Finally, I
strive to create an intervention into these ahistorical narratives and negative, and domineering representations;
pleading for sociohistorical context in these films and alternative liberating representations that bolster the democracy
aspect of Freyre’s “Racial Democracy.”

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

News media of the U.S. and China play a crucial role in leading to their publics’ misunderstanding of the other nation
and lacking of mutual understanding. Because of differences in cultural and ideological identity and social
construction, conscious or unconscious framing of the other nation and its people prevails in the two nations’ news
media. The reciprocal news frames employed promote a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, or moral
evaluation by selecting certain aspects of a perceived reality and making them more salient. As national images can
determine and govern both individual and institutional attitudes and behavior toward a nation, it is important to look
into the reciprocal images of China and the United States that have been framed and how they are framed by the news
coverage between these two nations. This paper reviews literature of news framing theory and research, and examines
the news frames exerted on the reciprocal China-U.S. news coverage and their cause and effect. By pointing out the
adverse effect of news framing, the author attempts to call on journalistic objectivity and audience autonomy.

Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study proposed the Reference Group Perspective for smoking cessation, examining smokers’ identification with
three reference groups: best friends, colleagues, and family members, and hypothesizing that identification with each
group would moderate the relationship between injunctive and descriptive norms of the group and smoking cessation
self-efficacy. Results of an online questionnaire (N=208) indicated that injunctive and descriptive norms of all three
reference groups significantly affected smoking cessation self-efficacy, and this relationship was moderated by
identification. Injunctive norms were stronger in predicting smoking cessation self-efficacy than descriptive norms,
with injunctive norms of family members and descriptive norms of best friends having the most significant effect.
Positive attitude towards smoking was also significantly associated with smoking cessation self-efficacy.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

In this study, we examine the ways in which levels of use of social communication technology are associated with
brain function during social exclusion in adolescence. Prior research suggests that adolescents high in interpersonal
competence may be more sensitive to the social environment and more concerned with preserving social status, but
also engage emotion regulation systems more readily in the face of peer exclusion. Our results extend these ideas to
the mediated social world; teens who have both a wider network of friends on Facebook and exchange greater
numbers of SMS texts also show greater activity in neural regions associated with rejection sensitivity, but only the
number of text exchanges on the prior day is associated with neural activity in regions associated with regulating such
distress. Mediated social interaction may parallel offline social interaction in important ways that are reflected in
neural responses to social experience in adolescence.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This paper explores the effects of media, including mass media but especially focusing on the online mothering
community, on mothers’ behavior and attitude. Based on previous research on motherhood, this paper argues that
modern motherhood, characterized by intensive mothering, consists of three C’s: comparison, consumption, and
competition. The survey questionnaire completed by 502 Korean mothers reveals that magazine reading and online
mothering community engagement are positively associated with each component of modern motherhood as well as
favorable attitudes toward intensive mothering ideology. The study confirms the role of magazine in reinforcing
dominant motherhood ideology. More importantly, the study shows that the online mothering community is where
new technology and old motherhood ideology, idealized in the mass media, merge.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This paper aimed to investigate the relationships between one’s personality attributes and one’s opinion leadership on
the issue of climate change based on the diffusion of innovations theory. In accordance with its purpose, the literature
review included the opinion leadership concept in diffusion of innovations and respective personality attributes
(socio-communicative style, need for cognition, and shyness & sociability). Further, instruments measuring opinion
leadership and personality attributes were selected from previous studies by Childers (1986) and Rubin et al. (2009).
A set of correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to find out which personality attribute
has a statistically significant relationship with opinion leadership about climate change. Based on the statistical
analyses, the need for cognition attribute maintained a statistically significant relationship with opinion leadership,
compared to other two attributes. Meanwhile, socio-communicative style and shyness & sociability also maintained
statistically significant relationships with opinion leadership. Based on this paper’s results and supporting findings
from previous literature, effective opinion leaders in an environmental domain need be equipped with a high level of
need for cognition, in addition to maintaining high levels for other two attributes.

This study explored the relationships among Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, attitude towards cause-related marketing,
and behavioral intention in terms of cross cultural differences through an online survey. The findings indicated a
different relationship between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and one’s attitude towards CRM between the US and
South Korea. Moreover, this study revealed a strong relationship between attitude towards CRM and the behavioral
intention, implying that people who have positive attitude towards CRM have a stronger behavioral intention in

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This study examined structurational divergence (SD), a relatively new set of theoretic constructs that captures
negative communication cycles resulting from interpenetration of multiple incompatible meaning structures, in the
nursing profession. With a sample of 713 professional nurses, across 57 departmental units in a large metropolitan
hospital, several nursing-and communication-related variables were examined for their relationship with SD. SD is
positively related to a number of negative communication and nursing variables: taking conflict personally, verbal
aggressiveness, interpersonal communication ambiguity intolerance, role conflict, burnout, depression, and bullying.
SD is negatively related to job satisfaction and both organizational and professional identification; SD is positively
related to turnover, measured as intentions to leave both the current job and the profession. It is unclear whether SD
causes low satisfaction and identification or whether these things contribute to SD. Clearly, however, these results
show SD to offer great potential to offer an explanation for a number of problems in the nursing profession.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The life of adolescent refugees is one that has been described as being characterized by uncertainty. Yet no
quantitative data exists to elucidate that experience of uncertainty, investigate its implications in that population, or
explore potential moderators. This study examines the experience of uncertainty among adolescent Palestinian
refugees living in refugee camps in Lebanon, tests it association to hopelessness, and assess the role of mother’s
supportive communication as a moderator of that relationship. One-hundred and eighty-five adolescents across two
refugee camps in Lebanon participated in the study. Results support the existence of elevated levels of uncertainty
about both personal security and macro (i.e., camp- and national-level) security, show an association between
uncertainty regarding personal security and levels of hopelessness, and reveal mother’s supportive communication to
be an important, yet independent, influence on that outcome. Somewhat surprisingly, given the conditions on the
ground, the data also reflect an adolescent population with very little hopelessness. Implications of these findings for
our knowledge of adolescent refuge well-being are advanced, and future directions for both research and community
outreach are proposed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper explores the claims made by writers such as Anderson, Jarvis, Tapscott and Leadbeater that the internet
facilitates a digital entertainment economy that operates on a set of new logics including decentralization, abundance
and disintermediation. The paper assesses these – and associated ‘new economy’ – arguments in the light of current
trends in online distribution and consumption and considers whether the theses concerning the rise of the ‘long tail’
and the growth of free content can account for remaining (and resilient) patterns of conglomeration and concentration
in the online world. The paper reflects on the contradictory trends towards diversification and massification, between
specialization and generalization in the emerging online media economy. It examines the internet’s impact on
traditional media business models and highlights the continuities and differences between established and ‘new’
revenue models in key areas of the media.

We extend prior research on the processing of online reviews by examining the influence of review valence and
reviewer credibility cues in the domain of low involvement/risk products - in this case free online fanfiction stories.
Moreover, we test whether reviews do not only influence consumer intentions, but also post-exposure product
evaluation. A 2 (review valence: negative vs. positive) x 2 (reviewer experience: low vs. high) x 2 (writing style: poor
vs. good)online experiment revealed significant effects of all three factors. The effects of review valence on reading
intention and evaluation where strongest for well-written expert reviews. The results indicate that reviewer credibility
cues are also processed heuristically in case of low involvement/risk products.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Western media coinages of the recent revolutions occurring in the Middle East and North Africa as
“Facebook/Twitter Revolutions” or “Revolutions 2.0” raises substantial concerns of hyperbolizing impacts of
technology within social movements. Applying the concepts of “technological Orientalism” and “technological
determinism”, textual analysis was used to examine the discourse about use of social media (i.e., Facebook and
Twitter) in the 2011 Egyptian revolution in The New York Times, USA Today, and The Washington Post. Textual
analysis revealed a decidedly positive emphasis on the ability for these platforms to serve a facilitating role in the
achievement of the social movement’s objectives. Coverage of these events in Western media has framed the
revolution not by the people and their causes but by the social media platforms they employed. This paper critiques
the underlying technological deterministic nature of these assumptions and critiques ability for social media to serve
as an electronic public sphere for democratic deliberation. Keywords: Egypt; Facebook revolution; Public sphere;
Technological determinism; Technological Orientalism; Twitter revolution

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

CSR and Social Media are often framed by corporations as tools to improve stakeholder relations, trust and business
profit. So far, the different ways in which this relationship between business and society is established in social media
is underexplored. This paper builds on the perspective of rhetoric theory arguing that discourse and rhetoric
performatively produce the effects they name (Vico, 1999). Accordingly, corporate rhetoric on CSR and Social Media
reflect and influence the institutionalization and management of CSR and stakeholder relations. Drawing on rhetoric
theory, this study empirically investigates corporations communication in and rhetorical repertoires for social media
and corporate social responsibility as expressed in facebook and twitter. It analyzes the needs of corporations for
being present in social media, to communicatively engage with stakeholders and pressure groups and do CSR, and
which challenges and opportunities they perceive for the use of social media for building relations. The rhetoric of the
5 largest and the 5 most social-media-active Norwegian corporations is analyzed via their on-line documents and
qualitative interviews with communication managers. Particular attention is given to communicative attempts to build
credibility (Ihlen, 2011) and take issue ownership (Heath & Palenchar, 2008), but also to how this rhetoric is
influenced by the technology and the social media dynamics itself (Selber, 2010).
The Rise of Mobile Media and its Impact on the Fabric of Time, Space, and Community, Adriane Stoner, University
of Illinois at Chicago

Presented at the following event:

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Communication theorist James Carey (1989) wrote about the impact that communication technologies have on
culture. According to Carey, the telegraph fundamentally changed the way people thought about the world around
them because of its ability to diminish time and space. Carey argued the case of the telegraph can be used as a
metaphor for all advancements in communication and technology. Using Carey’s telegraph metaphor as a theoretical
basis, this paper explores modern communication technologies that are currently impacting society’s ideas of time and
space, focusing specifically today’s mobile media. The three elements of Carey’s telegraph metaphor (which include,
popular imagery, universalism and monopoly capitalism) are applied in a contemporary context to the rise of mobile
media. Does the metaphor still apply? This paper explores the rise of mobile media and its impact on the fabric of
time, space, culture and community.

Presented at the following event:

8133. Questions of Authenticity
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This analysis centers on Antoine Dodson, the viral video superstar from the Bed Intruder Song, his identity, and how
our lack of control over social media influences issues of authenticity, representation, and performance. I argue that
Dodson’s flamboyant performance appropriates the Homo Coon caricature; a new age form of what Marlon Riggs
coins Negro Faggotry (1995) that frames Black, homosexual masculinity negatively, and appropriates a stereotype that
denies it authenticity. Using E. Patrick Johnson’s theory of appropriation as framework (2003), I argue that Dodson’
fame comes at a cost to gay, Black men, namely their inability to perform Blackness, masculinity, and homosexuality
as a single, authentic identity. Using critical rhetoric, I analyze the social media that begets the caricature Antoine
Dodson, and construct his identity as the Homo Coon, a stock caricature formerly made fun of through skits and
parody, now brought to life in damaging ways through performance.

Scholarship: From Micro to Meso to Macro
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study investigated the influence of affect on individuals’ intentions to engage in physical activities such as
exercise. Behavioral intentions were examined through the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). An experimental
survey was conducted among 153 undergraduates randomly assigned to three conditions – positive, neutral, and
negative affect. Key variables from the TPB were assessed across these conditions. Analyses showed that subjects in
the positive affect and negative affect conditions reported lower intentions to exercise than those in the neutral
condition. Subjects in the negative affect condition also reported more unfavorable attitudes toward exercise than their
positive or neutral counterparts. Other TPB measures remained stable across the three conditions. Perceived
behavioral control and attitude were also significant predictors of behavioral intention in the pooled sample. The
results underline the important role that affect, especially negative affect, plays in individuals’ decision to exercise.
Rational models for health behavior change should take into account the impact of affect.

Lampe, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

5224. Political Discussion in Online Space
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Social media users form impressions of other users based on the information provided by different sources. The
information provided by rating systems in online political communities constitutes a source of information that cues
certain characteristics about other users. Usually online communities’ rating systems evaluate users’ participation
without distinguishing between types of participation. Taking into account the origin of the information carried by the
cues and the communal dimension evaluated in the process of impression formation, this study examines how a set of
different rating system design options might influence users’ impressions of the credibility of discussants, discussion
informativeness, and willingness to contribute to discussions in online political communities. Results in this study
partially support the idea that communal third-party information has more importance when impressions are formed in
online settings for political discussion. Further research is recommended.
The Role of Communication in Health Disparities: An Analysis of 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey

Presented at the following event:

7129. Complementary and Contradictory Patterns in Health Information Seeking
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Health disparities associated with socioeconomic differences have been well-documented. However, the mechanisms
and paths underlying this association remain unclear. Knowledge gap hypothesis and digital divide in health suggest
possible contributions of communication related factors to different health outcomes across socioeconomic status
(SES) levels. The present study seeks to explore the mediating role of two communication factors: health information
seeking and patient-provider communication. The 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) dataset
is used to model the relationship among SES, communication factors and health outcomes. Overall, results supported
the proposed model – communication factors account for a significant portion of variations in health outcomes related
to SES difference, although health information seeking contributed to health outcomes in an unexpected way. Still, the
direct path from SES to health outcomes is significant, suggesting the existence of mediating factors other than health
communication. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Keywords: communication inequality, health
disparity, socioeconomic status
The Role of Community-Based Organizations in Mental Health Concerns of International Students, Yunmi Lee, U at
Albany, SUNY

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The purpose of this study is to understand how mental health or well-being of international students can be achieved
through social support or supportive communication of community-based organizations. This study is specifically
aimed to find out whether there are any general mental health problems among international students, how serious the
problems are and what the causes of them are. It is also aimed to suggest communication within and between
community-based organizations as factors of relieving the mental health problems of the international students. This
study will identify the positively/negatively working dimensions of communication within/between the community-
based organizations for mental health problems of international student through the community-based participatory
research. This will enable to make a general model of relationship among international students’ mental health
concerns and supportive communication from community-based organizations. In addition, community-based
participatory method for encouraging international students to be involved in community-based organizations could be
suggested.

Presented at the following event:

7551. Creating Interpersonal Connections
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study examines the implications of social networking websites (SNSs) on romantic relationships. Specifically,
Knapp’s (1978) stage model of relationships is examined through a new lens wherein the role of SNSs, specifically
Facebook, is explored in the escalation stages of romantic relationships (i.e., initiating, experimenting, intensifying,
integrating, and bonding). Further, this study sought to define and discern the relational implications of going
“Facebook official” (FBO). Mixed-sex focus groups were conducted. Analysis revealed Facebook is the primary
means of uncertainty reduction in the initial stages of relationship formation. College students consider FBO to be
indicative of an increased level of commitment in relationships. Typically, relationship exclusivity precedes a
discussion about becoming Facebook official, which occurs when the relationship is considered more stable. Going
FBO has implications for the public proclamation of one’s relationship status as described in Knapp’s model.
Theoretical implications for the role of SNSs in romantic relationships are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

7551. Creating Interpersonal Connections
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Scholars recognize the importance of affection in close relationships, but are less sure what behaviors convey
affection. Nominees include emotional expression, sensitivity to others, and physical displays. This study explored
whether husbands convey affection with instrumental behavior, such as helping. Thirty-one husbands provided
examples of instrumental behavior and indicated—subsequently their wife also indicated—how important they were,
and how important their spouse would say they were. Husbands and wives agreed instrumental affection is important.
However, neither was cognizant of the agreement beyond stereotype accuracy. Wives assumed agreement exists,
which related to satisfaction with the husband’s frequency of affectionate communication.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Information about medication risks and benefits often contains probability information. Individual differences,
including numeracy, may influence a person’s ability and motivation to seek and process information about a
prescribed medication. This paper explored the relationships between numeracy, motivation to seek information,
ability to seek information, and information processing. Data were collected from 82 breast cancer patients at a large
hematology-oncology clinic. All participants were prescribed an oral adjuvant medication, following their primary
treatment, as a preventative medication. Results indicate that numeracy was significantly and positively associated
with both knowing where to look for information about a prescribed medication and motivation to seek such
information. Both cognitive numerical ability and motivation were predictors of systematic information processing.
Overall, women with high cognitive numerical ability and high motivation to seek information were more likely to
systematically process information about their prescribed oral adjuvant medication.
The Role of Orienting Responses in Mediated Message Processing: Distinction Between Implicit and Explicit
Automatic Processing, Chen-Chao Tao, National Chiao Tung U

Presented at the following event:

5250. Understanding Communication Through Physiological Responses
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Orienting responses (ORs) elicited by media stimuli play a crucial role in mediated message processing. The prevalent
view holds that ORs indicate the occurrence of automatic processing, which allocates more resources to processing
information and leads to better memory. Hence, media features which can elicit ORs are viewed as a guarantee of
direct media effects. However, the aforementioned view implies that automatic processing will always reach
conscious awareness, while this assumption is never been tested. Recent eye tracking studies show that automatic
processing may operate outside conscious awareness; that is, subjects moved their eyes toward certain objects but
failed to recognize or recall any of them later. This project argues that ORs is not the indicator of automatic
processing, but the indicator of the transition from automatic to controlled processing, which in turn results in
conscious awareness. Moreover, eye movements and hear rate are used to distinguish explicit (eye movements with
the decrease in heart rate) and implicit (eye movements without the decrease in hear rate) automatic processing. two
experiments are designed to examine the proposed model.

7330. Health Literacy and Health Information Processing: Connecting Knowledge to Community Action
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

A survey of 150 parents explored the role of parents’ skeptical orientations toward media for family eating behaviors.
The results showed that more skeptical orientations toward sources predicted perceived efficacy to control the effects
of food advertising on children, which led to efficacy for making healthy nutrition-related changes in the family,
which in turn strongly predicted healthy behaviors. Skeptical orientations toward sources also predicted information
efficacy, which contributed separately to efficacy for making healthy changes. Skepticism toward content affected
expectancies for making healthy changes, which also contributed to efficacy for making changes. Media-related
skepticism therefore indirectly but consistently affected self-reported behaviors through its effects on efficacy for
managing media and expectancies regarding family receptiveness to healthy dietary changes. The results suggest that
parents’ media literacy skills affect families’ dietary behavior and that the ability to distinguish useful information
from illegitimate messages is an important skill to include in health campaigns.

8229. Provider-Patient Communication: Relational, Group, and Process-Based Approaches
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Previous research suggests positive effects of health information seeking on fruit and vegetable consumption. Building
upon this research, we examine the lagged effect of patient-clinician information engagement (PCIE) on fruit and
vegetable consumption as well as the indirect effect on the outcome through seeking information from nonmedical
sources. The results are based on data collected from a randomly drawn sample of breast, prostate and colorectal
cancer patients from the Pennsylvania Cancer Registry who completed mail surveys in the Fall of 2006 and 2007 (n =
1,257) . Results show a positive lagged main effect of PCIE at baseline on fruit and vegetable consumption at follow-
up (B = 0.26, SE = 0.10, p = 0.01). The mediation analysis shows that PCIE leads to increased fruit and vegetable
consumption, in part through patients’ information seeking from non-medical sources. Implications of these findings
for the cancer patient population and for physicians are discussed.

7520. Engagement With Narrative and Entertainment: Process and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

This study investigated the influence of manipulating knowledge about forensic evidence prior to viewing an episode
of CSI on perceptions of the program’s realism, narrative engagement in the program, and post-exposure attitudes
about forensic procedures (N = 340 students). Results indicate that providing knowledge that the program is
inaccurate in its portrayal of forensic procedures reduced perceptions of both narrative and external realism, and
engagement. While direct effects of inconsistent or consistent knowledge on attitudes were only found in one case, the
relationships between prior knowledge and all five dependent measures were mediated by narrative engagement.
Findings are discussed in light of a mental models approach to narrative processing and persuasion.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Survey researchers confront a variety of problems when interviewing children. In addition to differences in cognitive
development, another set of issues must be addressed when questions requiring disclosure of sensitive information and
risky behavior are involved. This article analyzes the cognitive interview data in the EU Kids Online study for the
difficulties children had in answering questions related to risk and harm, the patterns of answers to the final
questionnaire provided by the children at different age levels, the degree of consistency of responses to questions
calling for similar responses, and the evidence for providing socially desirable answers to questions related to risk and
harm. The research also examines differences based on the administration of the survey in the field. Suggestions are
made related to the design of questionnaires and the environment for their completion when younger or older children
are the respondents.

The current study examined the effect of drivers’ cognition on their actual driving behaviors. A 2 x 1 between-
participants experimental design (N = 65) found that participants’ driving performance was affected by their
information processing modes (rational vs. experiential). Consistent with theoretical expectations, drivers who were
primed to take a rational stance when driving the car simulator showed significantly less bad driving behaviors than
those who were primed to drive the car experientially. The result has important theoretical and practical implications
for promoting safe driving and the design of car user interfaces.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Disasters like the human stampede at the Love Parade 2010 are unexpected events that can affect a great number of
individuals physically and psychologically. In such non-routine situations individuals expose themselves to media to
fulfill their current needs. Previous research showed that the Internet and especially social media might play a crucial
role in personal disaster management. This work aimed to extend these findings to the specific context of the Love
Parade stampede, focusing on patterns and motives of social media usage. Therefore, three studies were conducted: A
content analysis of social networking groups revealed postings in thematic groups comprising emotional discussion
issues such as condolence. Qualitative interviews (N = 10) outlined that social media usage has been rather passive
and based on information purposes. An online survey (N = 171) confirmed these findings and additionally
demonstrated that social media played a particular role for people who attended this festival.

7154. Uncertainty and Community in the Context of Disasters
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Response to disasters has typically been associated with a system of command and control by emergency responders
to structure coordination and decision making from a centralized authority. However, recent disasters provide
evidence that volunteered geographic information (VGI) collected from individuals within impacted communities
offer an alternative system of response where citizens communicate autonomously and rapidly. Through increased
use of smartphones, GPS enabled digital cameras and social media, people can help with disaster relief efforts by
providing critical information about assets, infrastructure and location where official and authoritative data is difficult
to gather or may never have existed. While credible information is critical to successful disaster management, VGI
provides an abundance of real time data that can be used to manage uncertainty and improve situational awareness and
adaptability both for responders and those impacted by disasters.

8129. The Use of Narrative in Health Communication: Empirical Explorations of Mediators, Moderators, and Effects
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Narratives are thought to be effective persuasive tools because as long as they are perceived as entertainment they do
not prompt reactance, and therefore audience members are thought to counter-argue less. While this premise is
theoretically and intuitively appealing, direct evidence of counter-arguing is elusive (e.g., Moyer-Gusé&Nabi, 2010).
The present study investigates reactance and the counter-arguments experimentally. Participants are shown an
episode of a medical-drama that sympathetically portrays mental-illness and substance abuse surrounding a veteran’s
PTSD.Participants watch in one of three conditions: 1) control, 2) reactance activation (persuasive intent), or 3)
authenticity activation (realism evaluation). Engagement, attitude, and thought-listing data are collected after viewing.
A previous study demonstrated the influence of this manipulation on narrative engagement. This study investigates
the influence of two types of reactance and resulting counter-arguments as moderators of attitude change.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Journalists condemn plagiarism yet rarely acknowledge disagreements over contested attribution standards at the root
of some plagiarism cases. To document and evaluate those differences, U.S. journalists in broadcasting and print
operations were surveyed (n = 934). Results show that respondents were far less willing to attribute press releases
then they were their colleagues’ work. They were more likely to consider attribution optional if they were under
pressure to produce, worked for a broadcast medium, were a content creator, were less experienced, or saw their
principles as flexible. The findings reveal that attribution beliefs are far more pliant than ethics policies suggest, and
they illuminate some of the reasons why plagiarism occurs.
The Scale Development and Testing of Character Identification as a Mediating Mechanism of the Effect of Media

5254. Extended Session: Research on Problematic Video Game Use and Effects of Violent Games
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This study tested the roles of character identification as the mediating mechanisms of the effect of media interactivity
on short-term aggression. A scale designed to measure character identification was developed and tested. Drawing
from the social cognitive theory, the Monadic Identification Scale consists of 15 items which loaded into four factors
(Enactive Experiences, Goal, Real Life, and Outcome Identification). A total of 169 male undergraduate students
participated in a 2 (media interactivity: play vs. watch) × 2 (violence: violent vs. non-violent) experiment. The results
showed that Enactive Experiences Identification fully mediated the effect of media interactivity on aggressive affect,
after controlling for the Outcome Identification as a suppressor. Participants who played the video games exhibited a
higher level of identification than recorded game play watchers, which led to higher aggressive affect. Comparison of
the new developed scale was compared with previous scales. Future research directions and implications were
discussed.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper considers whether fake Myspace profiles of school principals created by public school students are entitled
to First Amendment protection. While it may seem an inconsequential problem, this case study raises a larger
constitutional question: Can school officials punish students for off-campus expression without violating the student’s
freedom of expression? In an attempt to answer this question, this analysis considers two Pennsylvania cases—
Layshock v. Hermitage School District and J.S. v. Blue Mountain School District—involving students who were
suspended for posting parodies of their principals. While two June 2011 decisions by the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals in favor of the students have been heralded as a significant victory for student speech rights, a closer
examination suggests such praise is unjustified. Although the students may ultimately prevail, the decisions raise
genuine doubt about whether the First Amendment is flexible enough to protect new forms of student speech.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper explores the difficulties associated with doing institutional archival research on issues of sexuality. In the
digital era, anxieties abound over the effects of new media on people’s abilities to control and manage their
reputations. Frequently, these concerns are related to the creation and distribution of sexual images. Polaroid’s instant
camera, developed in the 1940s, allowed ordinary individuals to produce images beyond the gaze of commercial
developers, broadening opportunities for the creation of erotic images. This paper outlines my research experience in
the Polaroid institutional archive where I explore the company’s response to the use of its products for the production
of self-pornography. I explore the difficulties associated with doing archival research on topics companies are least
likely to want made public. I discuss strategies for reading silences within archives as well as thinking about how the
institutional curation of archives shapes the available information on historical sexual cultures.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This paper crafts a dialogue between the history of naming theory and the cult-classic 1960s television series The
Prisoner. The series centers on a unique campaign of psychological terror perpetrated against a spy who has been
captured and taken to a mysterious “Island,” where his tormentors attempt to destabilize his identity in order to extract
information from him. This is often pursued by various means of psywarfare and trickery centered around troubling
the relationship between the spy and his name - a troubling that extends to the text of the series itself, in that the
character’s ‘real name’ is never revealed. By progressing along the path from John Stuart Mill and Gotlob Frege to
Saul Kripke and Slavoj Zizek, the paper aims to illuminate both the strategies of The Prisoner and to translate the
philosophy of naming into a more tangible form.

7237. Hybridizing Global Popular Culture
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This paper suggests a self-reinforcing process of cultural deterritorialization. It models the relation between cultural
vicinity, intercultural capital and exposure to transcultural media representations. Intercultural capital refers to
knowledge about and familiarity with other cultures. Cultural vicinity describes the individually varying perception of
other (territorialized) cultures as close to one’s own culture. This perception of closeness results from identification
with this other culture. The concept is to be distinguished from Straubhaar’s notion of cultural proximity designating a
culturally bound individual’s tendency to prefer media content that is closer to his or her own cultural identity
(Straubhaar, 1991, 2003, 2007, 2008). To test the proposed model we conducted an empirical study with 962 German
respondents. We found empirical support for a self-reinforcing process of cultural deterritorialization. Results showed
significant correlations between all three concepts that constitute the process. Reasons and consequences of this are
discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This paper examines the different State tobacco control programs in United States of America, by analyzing each
programs’ the mission, goals and/or objectives. Semantic network analysis was used to examine the similarities and
differences in word use among all 50 States. The texts of mission statements, goals and/or objectives were analyzed
for most frequently occurring words. and a state by word matrix based on the co-occurrence of the words that was
network analyzed. The results revealed that the more central states had higher adult and youth smoking rate, lower
prices for cigarettes, lower taxes per pack, and received less in the tobacco settlement. The words ‘tobacco’ and
‘prevention’ occur most frequently and were shared by most states. The words ‘smoking’ and ‘smoke’ were peripheral
indicating that the overall focus of the states’ tobacco control programs is not simply to control smoking but tobacco
use in general.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study examines how the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. influenced the news values of
journalism in Pakistan. I used the agenda-setting theory of Mass Communications to determine how journalists treated
9/11 in their routine coverage of political or terrorism-related stories. This theory also helps to find out whether
terrorist attacks impacted the news values of Pakistani journalists. I interviewed 12 experienced Pakistani journalists
to explore the relationship between 9/11 attacks on the U.S. and the changing trends of journalism in Pakistan. This
study will help mass media researchers to understand how significant events in history impact the values of
journalism. Little work has been done to investigate the impact of terrorist attacks on Pakistani media. The current
study bridges this gap in mass media research so that future researchers can expand their research questions to
understand media on the other side of the world.

The explanatory principles of understanding and consistency are used to detail the past, present, and future of political
communication research. It is argued that the field of political communication is at a crossroads, with preferences for
a dominant explanatory principle shifting from understanding to consistency. A call for a true diversity of explanatory
principles is offered. Both understanding and consistency retain much utility for political communication research,
and one principle should not become subservient to the other within the field. In addition to understanding and
consistency, political communication researchers need to begin introducing additional explanatory principles (e.g.,
hedonism) to the field for the generation of new lines of inquiry.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

This presentation explores the struggles of university faculty and graduate students to collaborate with urban
elementary and middle school students when school personnel, school culture and “American” common sense have
constructed urban young people as unbelievable. We asked what urban school children know about their schooling
experiences, what their perspectives are on power relations with adults at school, and how students can share this
knowledge with adults through narrative and digital media. Fieldwork over the two years continually emphasized to
researchers not only how excluded students are from conversations about what is important, and what it means to be
educated, but also how subject young people are to admonitions and finger pointing about how they should behave.
Urban schools construct students as unbelievable on the basis of conflicts around trust, authority and voice. This
paper examines how university staff on the Smart Kids team had continually to negotiate the students’ construction as
“unbelievable,” and what that meant for the production of the films, the relationships university folks had with
teachers, and the implications for change. We discuss “disruptive listening” as a way to disrupt the multiple
constrictions working on urban students that construct them as unbelievable.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study examined members of online health social networking sites for smoking cessation, hypothesizing that four
social variables: social identification (Tajfel & Turner, 1986), bridging and bonding social capital (Putnam, 2000;
Williams, 2006), social norms (Perkins & Berkowitz, 1986) and social support (Sarason & Sarason, 2006), would
impact the relationship between participation level and smoking cessation self-efficacy. Results of an online
questionnaire (N=208) found that participation on the sites significantly impacted the four social variables, which in
turned influenced smoking cessation self-efficacy. Social identification and social support also mediated the
relationship between participation level and smoking cessation self-efficacy. The study also proposed a model for the
use of health-based SNSs for smoking cessation, the “Social Groups Approach to Smoking Cessation,” by applying
and extending traditional theories of peer influence, which was tested and supported. Implications for future research
on theory-based interventions of smoking cessation using online social influences are discussed.

6135. Participatory, Promotional Cultures: "Sharing" and Self-Representation in the Contemporary Media Moment
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper is about sharing—the word, the act, its rhetoric, its ideologies and its logics. More specifically, it is about
sharing in three different but interrelated contexts: Web 2.0; sharing economies; and intimate interpersonal
relationships. The rhetoric of sharing is fundamental to these three spheres, but the logics of sharing have hardly been
studied in those contexts. The paper shows how an understanding of the contemporary logics of sharing must
incorporate a number of spheres of sharing. Accordingly, in addition to Web 2.0, which constitutes the starting point
of the analysis, this paper also discusses economies of sharing and the centrality of sharing our emotions in the
management of our intimate relationships. This paper represents the first attempt at outlining the interrelations
between these spheres of sharing, thereby launching a project of mapping the contemporary social logics of sharing.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Media scholars investigating journalism during conflicts tend to focus on the news sections. This study, conversely,
probes newspapers supplements: sports, lifestyle, arts and entertainment. Based on close-reading of Israel’s leading
daily papers during the 2006 Lebanon War (July 13 – August 14, 2006), The analysis conceptualizes the
manifestations of nationalism that serve the narratological analyses of the supplements: ‘in-group nationalism’ and
‘out-group nationalism’. The first are manifestations of nationalism that looks inward, to the ‘in-group’ (‘us’),
portraying journalistic representations of national unity, e.g., coverage of artists performing in war zones in northern
Israel. The second type is manifestations of nationalism directed at the actions of ‘out-groups’ (‘them’) and scrutinizes
it according to ‘friend or foe’ criteria while using charged terminology including allegation of anti-Semitism.
Alongside these two types, the article refers to rare manifestations of anti-nationalism, which only serve to emphasize
the overall ‘rallying around the flag’ of these supplements.

6121. Noelle-Neumanns Theory of Public Opinion in the Digital Age: New Directions in Theory and Methodology
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The spiral of silence theory represents one of few approaches in media effects research that relate micro and macro
level concepts. It assumes that individual opinion formation is influenced by public opinion which is indicated by the
mass media. But how is this information processed, and under which conditions does it affect individual opinions? In
order to enhance our understanding of the role of public opinion in reception, this paper suggests a specification of the
spiral of silence. It argues that the micro-macro-gap can be bridged by particular information processing approaches
on the perception of public opinion. The concept of vertical transaction explains how the individual recipient and the
larger system of the public sphere reciprocally affect each other. This transaction is substantiated by the audience
images approach. It holds that the recipients construct an image of the fellow audience and this by means of adaption
or distinction affects the individual opinions.

Wikipedia is an online project with the aim to create a free encyclopedia. The enormous reach of the project makes
Wikipedia a center of attraction for interest groups of all kinds. Inevitably, conflicts evolve within the community. In
the German language version of Wikipedia is, due to German history, the conflict between leftist and conservative
users especially vehement. Case studies of community-elections as well as of long-term conflicts over instrumental
editing show that processes similar to those of a spiral of silence are active within Wikipedia’s community. This
assumption is supported by quantitative content analyses of several conflict-ridden areas of the German Wikipedia.
However, there are differences to real-life spirals of silence. It is proposed that these differences are due to the use of
nicknames and the limited interpersonal communication within an online community.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

New communication practices, especially the Internet, challenge existing perspectives on media effects. In the case of
Noelle-Neumann’s Theory of Public Opinion, better known as the Spiral of Silence (SoS), current developments such
as social media applications (social networks, communities and other Web 2.0 phenomena) raise the question whether
a concept developed more than 25 years ago in a different media environment still holds true. We review the theory’s
major premises and postulates and discuss the need for a readjustment on different levels of analysis and with regard
to all relevant constructs involved. Two main conclusions of our in-depth theoretical examination, which can be
presented in a condensed version only, refer to (a) a newly generated model on willingness to speak out on the
internet; and (b) emerging additional rooms of communication and partial publics, which modify the process of public
opinion formation and lead to a modified SoS model.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The question of whether the conventional approaches of media effects research still prove valid in online
environments has increasingly stimulated the interest of scholars. This paper adds to this discussion, exploring
whether Noelle-Neumann’s Theory of Public Opinion can still explain public opinion formation when applied to
CMC environments. By focusing primarily on the perception of the climate of opinion, our theoretical considerations
indicate that individuals most likely tend to select a subjective, pluralistic media tone online. Due to projection
effects, this might lead to the perception of a consonant climate of opinion in one’s Internet environment, which in
turn reduces the individual’s fear of isolation. However, there is no evidence yet that this affects the willingness to
speak out in offline environments.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Taking as its vantage point Gaye Tuchman’s (1972) notion of the strategic ritual of objectivity, this paper argues that
there is also a strategic ritual of emotionality in journalism -- an institutionalized and systematic practice of journalists
narrating and infusing their reporting with emotion. To examine the strategic ritual of emotionality, the paper draws
on Pulitzer Prize-winning articles between 1995 and 2011 as markers of cultural capital in the journalistic field. A
coding scheme for a basic content analysis is developed on the basis of scholarly insights into journalistic narratives,
as well as discourse analytic approaches associated with appraisal theory. The analysis indicates that the analyzed
stories rely heavily on emotional story-telling. The strategic ritual of emotionality manifests itself in the
overwhelming use of anecdotal leads, personalised story-telling and expressions of affect. Journalists ‘outsource’
emotional labour by describing the emotions of others, and drawing on sources to discuss their emotions.

L. Westcott-Baker, U of California - Santa Barbara; Rene Weber, U of California - Santa Barbara

Presented at the following event:

5150. Understanding the Player Experience: Attention, Immersion, Flow, and Enjoyment
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Flow has been extensively studied both in relationship to consciousness and as a theory of video-game enjoyment, but
scientific studies of flow often fail to show expected results due to the difficulty of operationalizing descriptions of its
qualitative characteristics. This article provides background for and presents the synchronization theory of flow (sync
theory) as a means of defining flow as a biological phenomenon. Sync theory offers potential for measuring flow in
real-time without relying upon self-report. Rooted in neuroscience and systems theory, sync theory makes falsifiable
predictions about the nature and mechanism of flow. Importantly, this mechanism rests on the principle that humans
(and other organisms with minds and brains) are information-processing systems with a limited capacity, especially
with regard to attention and consciousness. The limited capacity for conscious processing has implications for the
origin of flow in general, as well as the origin of media enjoyment and video-game play in particular. We developed
sync theory as scholars adhering to the neurophysiological perspective of communication (Weber, Sherry, & Mathiak,
2008). This perspective posits that three levels of prediction are required in order for a theory to have true explanatory
status: the theory must (a) predict probabilistic relationships between communication constructs, (b) uncover a
physical mechanism for the psychological and social phenomena, and (c) provide a historical/evolutionary account
how the phenomenon came to exist. These three levels correspond to three questions: What?, How?, and Why? This
article addresses the what, how, and why of attention/consciousness and of flow, with emphasis on the characteristics
and outcomes of a limited information-processing capacity, and then connects these concepts with media enjoyment
and video-game play.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

The paper will explore talk show as a participatory genre and its contribution to the possibility of deliberative
democracy. The setting is Croatia, where the context of post-socialist democratic transition, European integration, and
media market development all influence the character of the media output, not least the shifting demarcation between
entertainment and information, emotion and rationality. The article will analyze the textual characteristics of the
Croatian produced talk shows, and their production and reception aspects, and compare these findings with the generic
models of talk show “originals” in their countries of origin. The research findings will be related to the explorations of
changing genre boundaries in relation to the contemporary cross media and multi-channel media ecology. The
actualization of the democratization of public discourse in an, predominantly entertainment genre, will be related to
the overall model of the media system and its ramifications explored.

Membership-based organizations play a critical role in modern societies. They form the bedrock of social movement
mobilization, serve as “laboratories of democracy,” and support bridging social ties among diverse citizens. Much
scholarship in communication and political science has focused on the membership-based organizations. Rarely
examined, however, are the underlying technologies that mediate these membership relations. We have moved
through three distinct phases of membership organizations – from physical participation to armchair activism, to
clicktivism. ICTs have played an underappreciated role in this transition. Membership can be analyzed through three
perspectives: organizational, individual, and technological intermediary. This paper combines data from the
Membership Communications Project (Karpf 2011) with in-depth interviews to explore how changes in technological
intermediaries have influenced modifications from the other two perspectives. It argues that, though individual
membership has become a weaker social tie, new ICTs have afforded novel and beneficial forms of “passive
democratic feedback.”

Inscription systems have large existential consequences. Two dominant old and new media—God and Google—share
the ambition of registering all the world’s information. The book religion (media religions) of Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam all have elaborate notions of the book of life. The theo-bureaucratic dream of an infinite register informs
some key founding figures of computer science such as Pascal, Leibniz, and Babbage. A similar mystique is avidly
cultivated by Google today. God and Google are both eager passive miners of data—not a sparrow falls or a click
occurs without their notice. Our unintentional lives are archived: but if we cry out in prayer or seek access without an
NDA, no results are guaranteed. If God sees all, why is he silent to our prayers? Passive registry is universal, but
personal contact is prone to breakdown: this is the problem of theodicy put in terms of two models of
communication--one universal and passive (data-mining) the other particular and active (the effort to get a personal
response).

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This paper will review the functions and applications of producing and sharing personal health narratives in the wake
of a traumatic illness experience. Specifically, the potential for illness narratives to provide authors with a source of
therapy and added health benefits will be examined. I will argue that the appropriate integration of humor into illness
trauma narratives may provide the protagonist/author with additional sources of catharsis, and may be a salient area of
inquiry for future health communication scholars to examine. However, the therapeutic potential of narrative
storytelling is frequently overstated and privileged in the literature (Cole, 2010); thus, future researchers are also
encouraged to investigate and balance the positive ramifications of storytelling with the “dark side” of illness trauma
narratives. The inclusion of humor in the recounting of stressful experiences may further complicate this issue.

The use of social media has become increasingly widespread, and much excitement has been generated regarding the
potential of social media in health. However, it remains to be seen how people are actually using these technologies
for health and if they have been effective in health education or interventions. To address this issue, the authors
conducted a systematic literature review of published studies detailing the use of social media for health purposes. A
search of scholarly databases yielded sixty articles that were analyzed. Most of the articles detailed content analyses
of social media, and only one intervention was conducted. Many of the studies had methodological weaknesses, such
as poor reporting of participant demographics and a lack of theory. However, the research is promising in terms of its
applicability to a wide variety of health issues and its increasing use in health education. Implications of the research
findings and directions for future research are discussed.

In light of the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision on regulating minors’ access to violent video games, it is
as important as ever to understand the debate. Many acts of legislation have attempted to regulate violent video games
for minors and in the United States, however, Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association marks the first violent
video game regulation case reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States. An examination of the case and
literature on the regulation of violent video games for minors revealed two main legal issues: 1) video games are
protected speech and cannot be considered under the variable obscenity standard and 2) regulations of violent video
games do not survive strict scrutiny. The Supreme Court’s ruling is mapped onto the ethical concepts of harm,
paternalism and responsibility. The author offers an opinion for effectively protecting children from violent video
game content.

Electronic artist Pipilotti Rist’s colorful and sensuous video installations enliven the new media landscape and offer a
fresh paradigm for conceptualizing color in electronic media art. This article traverses this landscape in Rist’s work by
way of Gilles Deleuze’s equally unique and idiosyncratic color theory. While Deleuze articulated his color theory in
terms specific to painting, his theory was nonetheless structured out of analogies to inorganic, electronic, and
synthetic, machine systems, and thus it is highly compatible for discussions of color in electronic aesthetics. This
article explicates Deleuze’s argument that color is a form of haptic sensation that is not nostalgic, nor purely
meaningless, but rather offers fresh affects, erotics, and sensorial possibilities that balance meaning and chaos, and
affect and logic. The article concludes that the much-needed continuation of color philosophy within new media art is
broached through Rist’s synthetic, yet lively artwork.

Children in the United States have been falling behind in science compared to children in other developed countries
(National Science Board, 2010). One hypothesis for this is that science is not seen as relevant or as interesting as
some other kinds of subjects. In this article, we highlight one potential solution to this gap. By introducing science
and scientific concepts early and in a fun, visual, tangible and familiar way, through the characters of Sesame Street,
preschool children may learn lessons that will help facilitate children’s interest in and excitement for science. We
describe two evaluations of the past two years of Sesame Street which dedicated its episodes to fostering a curiosity
about nature and science. Both studies, which were conducted with over 600 preschool children (N = 379, N = 283),
demonstrate that children can learn sophisticated vocabulary and valuable science concepts from Sesame Street.

Online crowdsourced art is the practice of using the Internet as a participatory platform to directly engage the public
in the creation of visual, musical, literary or dramatic artwork, with the goal of showcasing the relationship between
the collective imagination and the individual artistic sensibilities of its (most often anonymous) participants. By
discussing key examples and analyzing this artistic practice within multiple theoretical frameworks, this paper aims to
fill a critical gap in the study of modern art and digital participation by developing a taxonomy of online
crowdsourced art and exploring the fluid roles of both artist and audience within this participatory tradition. In view
of its reliance on the artistic contribution of a large pool of usually anonymous participants, this type of art raises
consequential questions about notions of collective creativity, authorship, collaboration, and the shifting structure of
artistic production in the new digital environment. While crowdsourced art, enabled and enhanced by the participatory
affordances of the Web 2.0 environment, represents a progressive development within the social tradition of art, it
also showcases the permanence of hierarchical artist-crowd relations in the absence of structural change.

Picture superiority and concreteness superiority in memory are well documented in the literature. Existing empirical
studies have focused on comparing pictorial vs. textual stimuli or concrete vs. abstract stimuli. Print ads, however,
typically contain both textual and pictorial information. Moreover, both can be concrete or abstract. Two experiments
investigated whether information modality interacts with information concreteness to influence the processing of print
ads. Experiment 1 used a naturalistic selective exposure design where participants freely browsed print ads in a living
room setting, and Experiment 2 used a controlled viewing design utilizing eye tracking measure to help pinpoint real
time visual attention to information presented in the ads. Converging results suggest that the picture superiority effect
is most robust during earlier stages of information processing (e.g., sensory encoding), but subject to the moderation
of other information features during later stages of information processing (e.g., information storage and retrieval).

potentially problematic elements of ads, though those reactions were mitigated by highly engaging commercials.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Several articles show the way in which the field of organizational communication has emerged and developed in
North America. Yet, scholars in other countries have also theorized and studied the role of communication in
organizations. Their work, however, lacks systematization and historical reviews. There are no recent studies in the
Latin American context that compare and present the theories, methods, and contexts that researchers from these
countries have employed to have a better understanding of organizational communication. This paper offers a
preliminary exploration of the main approaches, topics, and methods that Latin American scholars have used to define
and study the field of organizational communication. We also compare these main tendencies with those employed in
North America in order to suggest ways in which the research tendencies of both geographies can complement each
other. Our main purpose is to initiate a dialogue between these two traditions so that the field of organizational
communication can be enriched from different subjects, approaches, theories, methods, and contexts.

Most of us live in neighborhoods, a common term used by members of local social groups to identify themselves. The
borders of these neighborhoods are often imagined by municipal neighborhood boundaries maps, which also serve as
community mapping tools for the municipality, as well as local business owners and organizations. But despite the
prominence of these municipal mappings, they often do not offer a way to conceptualize, on a large scale, the real-life
borders of neighborhoods as understood by their members. These maps ignore the live nature of neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods are social groups that are ever-evolving, expanding or contracting in their perimeters, changing their
demographic consistency because of immigration, and transforming local businesses offering based on economical
and infrastructure developments. In this study we introduce a new framework to the mapping of local social groups
borders based on preliminary results from an analysis of a 4 month long dataset of users’ check-ins on foursquare, a
location-based social network (approximately 11 million check-ins, in total). For the purpose of this research, we
developed a measure of socio-geographic proximity between the places that people check-in and applied spectral
clustering techniques to group the places based on this proximity. The procedure produced a set of groups that we call
“Live Neighborhoods.” Based on these data we also created a dynamic visual representation that exemplifies the
“Live Neighborhoods” borders and compared them to the municipal ones. Grounded on the results of this study, we
argue that our new mapping model provides a more accurate way to understand local social group boundaries
according to shared purposes, interests and practices. By reading into these “Live Neighborhoods,” we offer a new
lens for the study of location-based social network usage and raise questions in regard to the utilization of big data
methods to the study of local interactions.

Question—Do we want or need a unified theory of intercultural communication as intercultural communication

scholars have become increasingly diversified in their approaches to and theorizing about culture and communication?
Bradford Hall (1992) originally posed this question—at a time when intercultural communication theorizing was in its
infancy—in response to the concern that intercultural communication scholars had not yet developed a unified theory
of intercultural communication. Since then, we have witnessed a rapid growth of intercultural communication theories
from several meta-theoretical perspectives (e.g., social scientific/functional, interpretive, and critical) as well as
various approaches of incorporating culture into communication theories (e.g., culture as nationality, race, class,
gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I argue that now—almost two decades since Hall’s initial question—is an appropriate
time to revisit if there is a need for a unified theory of intercultural communication as intercultural communications
scholarship continues to grow.

Past research on overload has focused predominately on information and the effects of receiving too much and the
wrong kind of information. This article suggests that the current conception of overload is incomplete and by
incorporating a sociomaterial perspective, a more accurate depiction of what should be called communication
overload results. To justify the formation of this model, historical conceptualizations, organizational outcomes, and
prior operationalizations of overload are presented to reveal the dearth of bi-directional communication
understandings. The resulting constitution of load model describes how each of the three components: social, material,
and individual, are in a state of flux and can become the driving force in communication overload. This theoretical
perspective has the potential to guide organizational communication research and provide practical applications.
Theorizing Unintended Effect in Health Campaigns: An Examination of Dissonance, Boomerang, Culpability, and
Opportunity Cost, Kai Kuang, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

8130. Theorizing Unintended Effects of Health Campaigns
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

In this panel, I will examine four of the unintended effects of health communication campaigns -- dissonance,
boomerang, culpability, opportunity cost, and the underlying relationship among them. Currently, there is not
systematic examination of health communication campaigns' unintended effects, only with a few exceptions. To better
understand how to maximize the intended effects and minimize the unintended effects, we need to draw the
connections among the unintended effects currently seen in the literature, specify, and expand each of them. This
paper focuses on four the the unintended effects. More specifically, dissonance, defined as the psychological
discomfort and distress provoked by campaigns (Cho & Salmon, 2007), is closely related to the boomerang effects
that audiences react to the persuasion messages in the completely opposite way of the intended response. However,
these two are not taken into consideration together in current literature. In addition, culpability refers to locate the
causes of public health problems in the individual rather than social conditions. However, health communication
campaigns utilizing media advocacy strategies can also result in blaming the social environment instead of changing
individual behavior, which deserves thorough analysis. I will also examine opportunity cost as one overarching side
effects of all health communication campaigns, which may be desirable or undesirable, depending on different cases.
Theorizing the Experience of International Scholars in the United States, Sorin Nastasia, Southern Illinois U

Presented at the following event:

5252. Extended Session: Intercultural Communication Division
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Although international scholars are a significant part of the U.S. academe, little research and theory has been
produced about their intercultural experiences. The presentation will also examine means and strategies for
international scholars to adapt to and integrate in the U.S. academe and society. The presenter advocates for
acculturation theory and research addressing specific issues related to international scholars, and proposing practical
strategies for diminishing teaching, learning and living shocks; acculturation studies approaching issues of concrete
cultural groups and individual experiences, and providing solutions without stereotyping.
They Are Not Only Venting Online: Exploring Characteristics of Students’ Evaluations of Chinese Teachers in
American Universities, Li Li, Ohio University; Joseph Paul Mazer, Clemson U; Ran Ju, Ohio U; Jerry L. Miller, Ohio
U

Presented at the following event:

6221. The Intersection of Instructional Communication and Culture
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Through content analysis, this study used established teacher factor scales and current literature to examine
undergraduate students’ evaluations of Chinese teachers on a popular American commercial teacher evaluation
website RateMyProfessors.com. Even though confirming that teachers’ comprehensibility was the most important
factor that affected teachers’ evaluation, results indicated that a Chinese teacher’s cultural identity had a minimal
influence. The findings also pointed toward other important teacher factors that might influence students’ evaluation
of their Chinese teachers within U.S. institutions. Pedagogical implications and areas for future research are
discussed. Keywords: Chinese teachers, content analysis, teacher evaluation
They Call it 3ngleezy: Exploring the Digi-Speak of the 2011 Arab Revolution, Lamiyah Bahrainwala, U of Texas

Presented at the following event:

5123. Diverse Facets of ICT Use (CAT High Density Panel I)
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

This is an exploratory study of a digital-script called 3ngleezy (pronounced en’gle-zə), developed by the tech-savvy
Arab youth in the Middle East and North Africa. Over the last decade, this script has gained astonishing momentum
and is now used across the region. 3ngleezy incorporates Arabic numerals and the English alphabet in texts composed
primarily in and for digital spaces. This paper explores how 3ngleezy allows users to transcribe Arabic in these digital
spaces, retain some of the visual and aural integrity of the Arabic script, and ultimately build community.
Furthermore, in light of the 2011 Arab revolution, this study explores the social subtext of 3ngleezy, which appears to
have the rhetorical power to mobilize users in digital communities into social action.
Thickening Behavioural Data: Toward an Increased Meaningfulness of Audience Measurement Data, Jakob Bjur,
Goeteborgs U

Presented at the following event:

6521. Developing Methods for Media Research (High Density Session)
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

The paper illustrates how social science can get more out of commercially produced data depicting audience
behaviour. It is argued that rethinking what the industry of audience measurement produce, thus approaching it
diversely, serve a path to friutfull grounds for social and cultural inquiry. The gap, between the deeper information
inherent in behavioural data (the potential) and the limited surface information in use of professional everyday
practice (the actualized potential), is in the paper laid out as a land of possibility to social science. To approach this
gap between the simple and the complex a process of ”thickening” (termed in tribute to the anthropologist Clifford
Geertz) is carried out to identify and extract unexploited dimensions of the data, and this way enhancing its social and
cultural meningfullness as a construction of spatially and temporally situated real life behaviour. Thickening is here
applied to television People Meter data.
Third-Person Perception in Relation to the Effects of Ideal-Body Media Portraying Men, Alice E. Hall, U of Missouri
- St. Louis

Presented at the following event:

6131. Media Effect Perceptions: Processes and Outcomes
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study investigated contributors to third-person perceptions in relation to the effects of ideal-body media featuring
men. 199 undergraduates completed an online survey that included measures of their judgments regarding the strength
and social desirability of the effects of male ideal-body media on themselves and on two target groups (other college
men and women) in relation to three outcomes. There was a consistent third-person perceptual effect for both target
groups. Neither the social distance between the observer and the target group or ratings of the social desirability of the
effects was associated consistently with judgments regarding the strength of the effects. However, estimates of the
target groups’ level of exposure to the material were closely and consistently associated with effects judgments.

Pennsylvania State U

Presented at the following event:

7452-20. Mass Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

In terms of entertainment media, most previous research on the third-person effect has been limited to the issue of
violence (e.g., violent games, violent television programs, etc.). However, the goal of the current study is to contribute
to our understanding of the third-person effect by testing entertainment content that does not directly involve violence.
To investigate this topic, this study examined how young adults respond differently to the effects of lighthearted
movies and serious dramas in terms of third-person effect judgments. The findings indicate that individuals still
perceive beneficial and harmful effects of different entertainment media genres regardless of explicit violence in the
content. Regarding light-hearted films (e.g., comedy), young adults perceived that their close friends would more
enjoy, would have more positive impressions of, and more select such films to watch than themselves and other
general audience would. Conversely, with respect to movies evoking deeper sentiments (e.g., drama), they consistently
showed first-person perceptions, insisting that they would enjoy such films more, would have more positive
impressions of, and select such movies more often than both their close friends and other general audiences.
Subsequently, the target corollary concept and value perceptions of entertainment media are discussed on the basis of
the findings.
This Isn’t Your Grandma’s Advertising: Discarding First Amendment Limitations on Commercial Speech, Matthew L
Schafer, Louisiana State U

Presented at the following event:

8230. Advertising and Commercial Speech: Issues of Law and Regulation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Seventy years ago in Valentine v. Chrestensen, the Supreme Court stated without citing any authority that the First
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States does not protect “purely commercial speech.” Since Valentine,
the Court has altered its original interpretation and stated instead that commercial speech is protected speech—but
less protected than political speech lying at the core of the First Amendment. Using a recent example of legislative
attempts to regulate advertising of marijuana products, this paper suggests that the commercial speech doctrine,
developed largely in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is faulty for two reasons. First, new advertising methods make it
impossible in many instances to distinguish between commercial speech and non-commercial speech. Second, a
consumer-citizen has a right to receive information in advertising without government interference. As such, the
paper suggests that any regulation of commercial speech should be subject to strict—not intermediate—scrutiny.
This is SportsCenter: A Longitudinal Content Analysis of ESPN’s Signature Television Sports News Program From
1999 and 2009, Jacob Stephen Turner, Merrimack College

Presented at the following event:

8128. The Impact of Competition and Commercialization on Journalism
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study is a longitudinal content analysis of ESPN's SportsCenter that calls upon agenda setting and framing as its
theoretical foundations. The study compares content from 21 episodes that aired in 1999 to 21 equivalent episodes
from 2009. This study’s results make clear that the newsgathering practices and news values apparent on ESPN have
shifted and the frames used to contextualize sports news in 2009 are generally broader, more complex and offer more
depth than 1999 but at the same time the information is softer, more fungible and less substantive in 2009. What is
considered valid sports news for television programs is changing and ESPN is no doubt leading the way.

6537. Tensions Between the Real and the Ideal: How to Improve the US/Mexico Border News Environment Through
Training and Education?
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This paper recounts problems faced by the University of New Mexico’s Cross-Border Issues Group as it initiated an
exchange program to Raramuri country in Mexico to study the health and cultural adaptations of Raramuri to health
issues, tourism, migration and trans-border crime. Citing safety concerns driven largely by U.S. media accounts of
cartel violence and an April 22, 2011 U.S. State Department travel advisory to that area, UNM administrators
cancelled the first iteration of the trip, which had been carefully researched and coordinated with two reputable NGOs
– both of which disputed the media and travel advisory assessments of danger. This paper documents the institutional
reactions of UNM in light of the State Department travel advisory and apprehension created by media coverage. As
such, it presents a case study of an ongoing dilemma faced by research institutions committed to investigating and
informing the public on Latin American issues.
To Accelerate or Decelerate: Orienting Response-Elicitors, Emotion, and Individual Differences in Cardiac Orienting
to Television, Bridget E Rubenking, Indiana U; Rachel L. Bailey, Indiana U; Annie Lang, Indiana U

Presented at the following event:

5250. Understanding Communication Through Physiological Responses
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This study investigates how orienting responses, ORs, elicited while watching television are modulated by, 1) the type
of feature eliciting the response, 2) the ongoing emotional content of the messages, and 3) the trait motivational
activation of the viewer. Cardiac orienting responses are measured in response to camera changes in the television
messages or signal auditory probes inserted into the messages. It is hypothesized that both the strength and the shape
of ORs will be modulated by the combination of probe type, emotional content, and trait motivational levels of the
viewer. This study (N=70) should further our understanding of how individual differences in trait motivational
activation in conjunction with emotional content influence automatic processing reflexes and influence how media
messages are attended to and processed. Hopefully, this will illuminate how to combine emotional content and
structural features to best communicate with target audiences who differ in motivational activation.

5329. Legal, Regulatory, and Policy Challenges of the New Technologies
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

This paper addressed the question of what happens when the idea of a universal, digital, online library created and
controlled by Google Inc., an American information and communication technology company, is confronted with the
highly proprietary, exceptionalist copyright regime of the United States, and the equally exceptionalist,
bureaucratized, intellectual property regime of France. To address this question, we carried out a comparative analysis
of the legal and cultural challenges faced by Google Books in the United States and Google Livres in France, as they
sought to digitize and store millions of books in both countries. It was found that the United States government was
mostly concerned with the copyright and antitrust ramifications of the digitization initiative while the French
government was concerned with the intellectual property and cultural heritage implications of the digitization of
French books. The postures of both countries were consonant with their respective intellectual property regimes.
To Embody and to Embalm: Collective Memory in the Final Editions of Closed Newspapers (Top Student Paper, Also
Featured in Virtual Conference), Nicholas Gilewicz, U of Pennsylvania

Presented at the following event:

7527. Making Sense of the "Media Crisis": Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Despite widespread handwringing by journalists and by the trade press, very little academic literature has examined
the final editions of failed newspapers as text. This essay begins filling that gap by examining the metajournalistic
discourse of four such newspapers—two that closed in the early 1980s, and two that closed in 2009. A close reading
of these final editions reveals that journalists turn to collective memory to articulate the meaning of their work.
Specifically, they deploy retrospective memory techniques to craft the present meanings of their newspaper closings,
and they deploy prospective memory techniques to establish how and why their work should be remembered in the
future. The analysis reveals the fundamental issue confronting newspaper journalism to be the dematerialization of
news, and because of this, suggests the era of newspaper crisis may be continuous and coincident with the advent of
electronic communication.
To Sing or Not to Sing: The Use of Musical Interstitials in Educational Television for Preschoolers, Fashina Mira
Alade, The Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

7332. Children's and Parents' Responses to Educational Media
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

While both narrative television and music have been shown to offer educational benefits to children, there is a lack of
research on the combination of music and narrative. There is also a lack of research on the effects of music on
program appeal. Utilizing a between-subjects experimental design, this study evaluates whether the inclusion of
musical interstitials in a narrative-based television program supports or suppresses preschoolers’ comprehension of
the narrative content and program appeal. Results illustrate that children who viewed the musical interstitials
understood significantly more of the central content than their peers who viewed the same episode with no musical
interstitials. Trends also suggest that children in the music group enjoyed the program more than their peers in the no
music group. Based on these findings, strategic use of musical interstitials in narrative programs is advised.
To Tweet or to Retweet? That is the Question for Doctors on Microblogs, Ji Young Lee, Ohio State U; S. Shyam

Presented at the following event:

5155. Engaging Social Media in Health Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Based on MAIN model (Sundar, 2008), this study explored the impact of interface cues conveying source attributes on
credibility of health messages in Twitter, by employing a 2 (authority cue: professionals vs. laypersons) X 2
(bandwagon cue: large vs. small number of followers) X 2 (source proximity cue: proximate or tweet vs. distal source
or retweet) mixed-factorial design in a live social-media environment. A significant three-way interaction effect on
perceived credibility of content was found, such that for tweets from high authority sources, higher bandwagon means
greater perceived content credibility, whereas for low authority sources, higher bandwagon leads to lesser perceived
content credibility. For retweets, however, the exact opposite pattern was found. The results also show that for tweets,
content credibility was significantly associated with the perceived expertise of proximal source, whereas for retweets,
it was associated with the perceived trustworthiness of proximal source. Theoretical and practical implications are
discussed.
Toast Cannibal: Culture Shock and the "Exotic’" Other in Intercultural Reality Television, An Helene Kuppens,

Presented at the following event:

5133. "Other" Encounters
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

In the past decade, there has been an intensification of representations of the cultural Other or the ‘exotic’ in popular
factual television, often in the form of an arranged intercultural encounter. The present article elaborates a case study
of a particularly meaningful instance of such highly debated ‘intercultural reality programs’: the format Toast
Cannibal, which has ‘ordinary’ Flemish families immerse themselves in the culture and lifestyle of so-called
‘primitive’ tribes. Based on an interpretive formal-thematic analysis of three seasons of Toast Cannibal and in-depth
interviews with a senior production member and two Flemish participants of the programme, we argue that Toast
Cannibal is premised on the concept of culture shock, and that this informs the exoticization and exoticism the
programme radiates. We conclude that the relationship between culture shock, exoticization and exoticism explains
intercultural reality television’s proliferation as a contemporary vehicle for exoticist representations.

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Processes of media answerability are important for the professional conduct of media organizations and their analysis
allows a better understanding of the negotiation among public actors over journalistic practices perceived as deviant.
By intersecting public criticism over perceived deviant political interviews with Israeli ombudsmen’s responses to
these complaints, our aims are to (1) characterize processes of media answerability within the institution of the
ombudsman and in the open public arena; (2) identify diversions between the public and the ombudsmen perspectives
regarding perceived deviating practices (over-aggressive and over-deferent style of interviewing) and their causes
(political bias and violations of interpersonal codes of behavior); (3) pin point the outcomes of media answerability
processes.

Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study examines the forms of Web 2.0 strategies employed by the largest nonprofit organizations and public
charities in the United States to develop two-way symmetrical dialogue. Using content analysis, the author seeks to
better understand what types of messages and online channels are being employed to stimulate dialogue with
organizational publics. Findings indicate that top U.S. nonprofits are using a limited number of available
opportunities to engage website visitors in the mission of the organization. Further, an examination of these top
nonprofits presence within the most popular social media and content sharing sites, specifically Facebook, Twitter and
YouTube, indicate that the number of engaged constituents varies dramatically. An analysis of recent message themes
and tones employed in these contexts indicate that these top nonprofits are primarily using their Web 2.0 presences to
provide information monologically, rather than engage online discussion.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

If sites of national importance (where expectations and actualities correspond) are designed to reify national values,
what happens to these values at a site where these two states do not match? In this paper, I attempt to answer this
question by closely examining the act of visiting the Liberty Bell using ritual theory. While most other sites of
national importance rely the fulfillment of emotional expectations to strengthen underlying values, it is precisely this
disjuncture in relation to the Liberty Bell Center which allows this same process to occur. Using a tri-part system of
made, expected, and floating ritual, I argue that it is the strength of the ‘mythology’ of the Liberty Bell that makes this
the case; expectations of visitors to the Bell are so strongly mediated by these narratives that the lack of emotional
fulfillment felt within the Center (the floating ritual mode) can still forms the foundation upon which national feeling
can strengthened - precisely because it allows people to challenge, while still accepting its values.

Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Drawing upon Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of flow, this research examined a variety of predictors of flow in electronic
games. Study 1 examined the effects of in-game performance (success versus failure) on flow across two game genres
(shooting and medical simulation games) and demonstrated that successful performance results in greater flow. Study
2 tested the roles of skill and challenge in inducing flow. The results of a 3 (skill: low, medium, high) x 3 (challenge:
low, medium, high) ANOVA demonstrated a significant interaction effect between skill and challenge across three
game genres (racing, violent and prosocial games). Highly skilled players experience greater flow when encountering
higher challenge whereas players with moderate and low levels of skill experience less flow when encountering higher
challenge. Study 3 tested the moderating role of users’ playfulness and reported the results of a structural equation
modeling (SEM) approach to flow in an exergame and a music game.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Dignity often is upheld as an ultimate condition for experiencing meaningful work and a life well lived. Yet, only
recently have researchers begun explicitly examining dignity. In this essay, I develop a conceptual model of workplace
dignity that includes three key communicative dimensions of dignity (respectful interaction, recognition of
competence, and acknowledgment of value) and describe how communication (at micro, meso, and macro levels) can
facilitate and/or impede individuals’ pursuit of workplace dignity. I flesh out the model with current literature from
organization studies across a range of disciplines. Finally, I forward a set of propositions about workplace dignity and
offer suggestions for future research.

Scholarship: From Micro to Meso to Macro
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Conducted from the reasoned action perspective, previous condom-use related research generally included a limited
number of variables and treated attitudes and self-efficacy as unidimensional constructs. Informed by a number of
other perspectives, including attitude functions theory and health literature on condom use and anticipated emotions,
this project aims to provide a more detailed understanding of college students’ intentions to use condoms during
sexual intercourse. Results show that relationship status moderated different psychological variables and condom use
intentions among males and females such that for females in monogamous relationships for 3 months or longer (vs.
not), negative anticipated emotions were a more important predictor of condom use intentions, whereas for those with
other relationship status or not in a relationship, subjective norms were more important. For male participants, sexual
sensation was a more important, negative predictor of condom use intentions among those in long-term relationships
(vs. not). Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

6253. Extended Session: Theory and Research in Memory for Media Content: Cultivation and Beyond
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix E

We present a dose-response (DR) account of media priming and cultivation. Specifically, we present DR concepts
from toxicological research and their extensions for the media context. DR concepts describe the relationship between
a dose and the elicited response. We argue that a DR account as a supplement to contemporary approaches can be
beneficial for media effects research. We report empirical evidence for the DR relationship between exposure to
stereotypic newspaper content (= dose) and readers’ stereotypic social reality estimates (= response) for the short-term
(Study 1, N = 350) and long-term (Study 2, N = 1001) context. Study 1 investigated the change in the short-term effect
size by utilizing nine experimentally manipulated dose-conditions. The empirical data appeared in the form of a
Gaussian distribution function. Experiment 2 used a cross-sectional design with existing exposure groups and
documented a nonlinear, but monotonic long-term effect.

Supportive Behaviors, Minjeong Kang, Syracuse U

Presented at the following event:

5139. Relationship Theory in Public Relations
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The quality of relationships between an organization and its public is a good indicator of the public’s general attitude
toward the organization. However, gaps exist between organization-public relationship quality and public’s actual
supportive behaviors such as being a loyal supporter or advocate for an organization. To fill a critical missing link
between organization-public relationships and publics’ supportive behaviors, this study investigates if public
engagement, a motivated state of individual members of publics, connects evaluation of organization-public
relationships to actual supportive behavioral outcomes. By focusing on the concept of engagement, the purpose of the
current study was to empirically test a theoretical model of public engagement with two key antecedents, (i.e.,
relational trust and satisfaction) and its mediating role between such antecedents and positive behavioral outcomes. To
this end, a survey was conducted with a randomly selected sample (n = 1084) of the entire current patrons of a
professional theatre organization in the United States with response rate of 24.50 percent. Structural equation
modeling (SEM) was used to empirically test the hypothesized mediation model of public engagement.
Toward a Poststructural Communication Theory of Risk Organization, Clifton W. Scott, U of North Carolina -

Presented at the following event:

6541. Hypocrisy, Distortion, Risk, and Materiality: Discourse and Organizing
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

A number of theorists have argued that risk is a defining feature of contemporary society, one arguably more
important than ever “to the way both lay actors and technical specialists organize the world” (Giddens, 1991, p. 3;
Luhmann, 1993; Perrow, 1999; Tulloch & Lupton, 2003). In this paper, we outline a communication theory of risk
organization by first characterizing traditional notions of the risk-communication relationship. Then we describe
implications of the organizational context for risk. Next, we offer an alternative, post-structural view of risk and risk
communication. Finally, we suggest how an alternative approach to risk communication may aid our understanding of
how hazards are understood and managed in organizational contexts. We contend that scholarly understandings of
organized health, safety and security can be enhanced by greater attention to the intersubjective processes through
which risks are defined, interpreted, and acted upon discursively in relation to member identities.

Other Measures of Engagement As Indicators of Learning, Erin Leigh Ryan, Kennesaw State U

Presented at the following event:

7332. Children's and Parents' Responses to Educational Media
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper provides an analysis of data from an earlier study in which children 12- to 24-months failed to learn from
an educational infant DVD. Whereas children performed no better than chance on the original posttests, coders
noticed verbal and nonverbal behaviors that appeared to indicate engagement with the content while it was playing.
After a preliminary analysis of the videotaped trials, this project uncovered several behaviors indicating engagement,
such as unprompted verbalizations of items on screen, verbal imitations of items on screen, non-verbal indications of
engagement with the program, program elicited amusement, and both verbal and nonverbal behavior directed at the
DVD player itself. Results are discussed in the context of Sproull (1973) and Crawley et al.’s (2002) findings that
direct reactions to program content are indicators of “vicarious participation” which is a reflection, rather than a cause
of learning.

Presented at the following event:

5221. Political Talk Shows and Entertainment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Kim, Edgerly, and Bode will discuss the antecedents and consequences of entertainment-oriented political media. Kim
and Vishak’s (2008) study first revealed that while the news media ultimately boost political knowledge and promote
memory-based information processing, entertainment-oriented media with the same substance do not necessarily
enhance political knowledge. Rather, individuals engage in more affective, impression-based information processing.
However, the question of why entertainment political media promotes impression-driven information processing has
seen little discussion. As an extension of Kim and Vishak’s study, this research questions why individuals choose
entertainment-oriented political media This research proposes that not only individuals’ entertainment media
preference (Prior 2005), but also the “(entertainment) media socialization” influence individuals’ entertainment-
oriented political media consumption. The research also suggests that individuals’ exposure to entertainment political
media indeed “relaxes” citizens’ normative expectations about what political media ought to be, and as a consequence,
individuals take more extreme positions about political issues. The implications of this research for the functioning of
democracy are discussed, with a focus on citizen competence and participation.

Revolutionary

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication: CRONK 252

Research on the appropriation and usage of mobile communication technologies has evolved at a great pace during the
last fifteen years, drawing on a large variety of concepts and methods. While this openness has proven productive in
the effort of exploring this new phenomenon in its various social, psychological and cultural dimensions, voices
calling for theoretical and methodological consolidation have started to grow louder (Campbell, 2007; Wirth, von
Pape, & Karnowski, 2008). Thus, methodological standardization promises to produce comparable findings across
different research contexts (e.g., Katz, Aakhus, Kim & Turner, 2003, Katz & Sugiyama, 2006) over time, and theory
building may help to put different empirical findings into perspective. One approach combining both theory building
and methodological standardization to consolidate research on the appropriation of mobile communication is the
“integrative model of mobile phone appropriation” (MPA) by Wirth, von Pape, and Karnowski (2008). This model is
unique and comprehensive in terms of incorporating theories from different research paradigms such as classical
diffusion of innovations theory, theory of planned behavior, domestication, media frames, and uses and gratifications
approaches. By doing so, Wirth et al. tried to overcome a linear modeling of technology adoption and consider the
impact of social and cultural norms on mobile phone uses. One very unique component of their integrative model is
that they also included “metacommunication” – communication about communication technology – to capture the
aspects of communicative impact on mobile phone adoption/uses. The MPA model has a total of six components:
metacommunication, functional evaluations, symbolic evaluations, normative evaluations, restrictive evaluations, and
the actual usage. Each component has sub-dimensions/constructs that were operationalized and empirically tested in
the German context. The initial testing of the MPA model was performed in 2006 with a sample of 842 persons and as
a result, five distinctive patterns of mobile phone appropriation were identified by the hierarchical cluster analysis: the
obtrusive multi-user, the relationship manager, the trendy cell-phone-player, the everyday-life-manager, and the
discreet light-user. While the model has been applied to identify and compare patterns and processes of mobile phone
appropriation in various contexts, this has been limited to German speaking countries thus far. The current study
attempts to test the MPA model in an English speaking context with a carefully translated and revised version of the
original scales. The translated scales added components of web applications used from the mobile platform, and
currently, online survey data is being collected. By testing the model with a large sample, the validity and reliability of
the scales can be examined. In addition, we will examine how each component of the model is associated with one
another. In the discussion, we will outline the new opportunities for research opening up with a translated,
standardized and comprehensive scale of mobile phone appropriation, such as exploring cultural differences in mobile
phone appropriation. References Campbell, S. (2007). A cross-cultural comparison of perceptions and uses of mobile

6350. Networks and Social Media
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Social media have changed organizational (crisis) communication, but these changes are not yet adequately reflected
in dominant organization-centered (e.g., SCCT) or emerging models of crisis communication (SCCM). This paper
extends these theories towards a Networked Crisis Communication Theory (NCCT): It builds on the idea of
networked society and public sphere (Friedland et al., 2006) by focusing on dynamics of semantic,
communicative/medial, and social networks (content, media, actors) on the micro-, meso- and macro-level. We
provide a first empirical test of the theoretical framework, by contrasting the effects of crisis type (victim vs.
intentional), a macro-level variable, with the effects of medium (newspaper, Twitter, Facebook), a meso-level
variable, on reputation, secondary crisis reactions and secondary crisis communication as micro-level variables.
Towards a Typology of Journalistic Careers: Conceptualizing Journalists’ Occupational Trajectories Through Life
History Narratives, Roei Davidson, U of Haifa; Oren Meyers, University of Haifa

Presented at the following event:

7452-18. Journalism Studies Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Journalism careers are highly varied. Prior literature in journalism studies has tended to emphasize professionalism as
an occupational ideal while recent work studying the cultural industries more broadly has emphasized the growing
empirical salience of casualized and insecure career patterns. We suggest that in order to capture the high variability
in the structure of journalism labor we require a systematic and exhaustive typology of journalism careers. This
typology distinguishes between professional, bureaucratic, entrepreneurial, unwillingly entrepreneurial and non-
market careers. We illustrate this typology and elaborate it using life histories with active and former Israeli
journalists.
Towards an Americanization of Election News Reporting? A Cross-National Meta-Analysis of Public and
Commercial News Studies, Stephen Cushion, Cardiff U - JOMEC

Presented at the following event:

6128. Cross-National Comparisons of Political News
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper carries out a meta-analysis of empirical election news studies, asking whether the extent and nature of
election reporting on publicly funded news is distinctive from commercial media. In doing so, it examines cross-
national election news cultures in the context of far they have ‘Americanized’ coverage e.g. have they adopted a more
‘horse race’, candidate focused, negative, opinionated or media-centric approach to election coverage. The meta-
analysis revealed that in countries with a strong infrastructure of public broadcasting, many commercial broadcasters
resisted adopting a full US transformation of election reporting. It is concluded that national journalistic cultures
appear to act as a buffer against commercial impact while public media structures can shield broadcasters from
incorporating Americanized conventions into routine election coverage. Consequently in some countries public media
can be seen to be indirectly maintaining the standards of commercial campaign coverage.
Tracing Organization-Public Relationship Theory: Review and Assessment, Nadine Christina Billgen, U of Georgia

Presented at the following event:

5139. Relationship Theory in Public Relations
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This paper analyzes organization-public relationship theory. Almost 30 years ago Mary Ann Ferguson recommended
research into the relationship between organizations and publics. Subsequently, relationships became much-analyzed.
This paper takes stock, tracing the theory’s development through 31 publications, reviewing evolution, application and
methods, and making research recommendations, especially respecting methodology. The theory has evolved
significantly since the 1980s, however scholars still struggle with its empirical bridges and tend to measure one
party’s perception of the relationship rather than a true relationship. Overcoming these challenges would make this
theory even more valuable, opening it up for new applications and insights.
Tracing the Institutionalization of an Emerging Field: An Examination of Media Discourse, Nell C Huang-Horowitz,
California Polytechnic State U - Pomona

Presented at the following event:

7220. Issue Careers and the Agenda Setting Process
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for understanding the institutionalization process of an emerging
field. The paper seeks to answer the question of how discourse about an emerging field changes from specialized
media to mainstream media. The author conducted content analysis and thematic analysis of a randomly sampled set
of articles from Science magazine (n = 100) and The New York Times (n = 209). Results showed evidence of the
institutionalization process over time in both media. Findings suggest that an emerging field becomes increasingly
associated with legitimacy-granting organizations. In addition, institutional actors and themes became more diverse
over time. Findings also demonstrate that an emerging field can become legitimized through commercialization and
professionalization. While the current study cannot claim an intermedia agenda-setting effect, the results suggest
similar patterns in how the two media covered an emerging field over a 25-year period.
Tracking, Targeting, and Tailoring: Sorting Out the Different Ethical Issues in the New Sciences of Persuasion, Solon
Barocas, New York U

Presented at the following event:

5524. A New Era of Strategic Communication? How New Insights Into Decision-Making, Data Mining, and
Algorithms Have Changed Persuasion
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper poses a simple but significant distinction between the tracking of users’ online activity and the targeting of
users on the basis of preferences and propensities discovered through that tracking. It shows how much of the debate
around so-called behavioral advertising tends to conflate concerns with tracking and targeting, pointing to cases in
which concerns with surveillance quickly bleed into concerns with manipulation or discrimination. This paper
attempts to build a more explicit bridge between the ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ concerns aroused by this and other
new forms of strategic communication. In particular, it argues that generic concerns with privacy (construed as a need
to limit data collection) can and do connect to a more precise concern with the kinds of persuasive messaging that
systematic monitoring and data mining enable, and that many of the proposed solutions explicitly attempt to limit
targeting by limiting the accretion of data through tracking. But such forms of strategic communication still present a
difficult problem because they force privacy scholars, advocates, and activists to articulate a basis upon which to
judge whether certain kinds or degrees of tailored and targeted treatment are warranted. And this is a task well
beyond the scope of the traditional privacy debate. To tackle this issue, the paper distinguishes between fears of
effective persuasion and manipulation (motivated by, among other things, manifest information and power
asymmetries) and concerns with unequal treatment and discrimination. Because the line between legitimate influence
and unwarranted manipulation are far more difficult to draw, much of the debate has focused on the line between fair
and unfair discrimination. But even the latter line is hard to draw because concerns with discrimination can stem from
disagreements over (1) the simple fact of differential treatment; (2) the basis for differential treatment, (3) the nature
of the differential treatment (an opportunity, a prohibition, an inducement), or (4) the outcome of the differential
treatment. The paper concludes by showing how greater precision in the debate around discrimination can actually
bring clarity to the issue of undue influence and how these, in turn, ultimately relate to a concept of privacy that would
place limits on tracking.
Transcending Boundaries? WikiLeaks and a Transborder Public Sphere, Edgar C. Simpson, Ohio University

Presented at the following event:

7337. WikiLeaks, ICTs, and the Shifting Global Public Sphere
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This exploratory study tested for the presence of a transborder public sphere by examining viewer comments
associated with the main stories concerning the first release of secret documents obtained by WikiLeaks. Using
discourse analysis and deploying the theory of the public sphere, this study examined comments on the Websites of
the New York Times and The Guardian of London. Overall, this study did find evidence of discourse suggesting a
transborder public sphere. This was seen in three primary ways: self-identified geographical location of the
commentators, content, and dialogue referring one site to the other. Further, the study suggests a conceptualization of
a transborder public sphere in which two national public spheres overlap to create a third sphere.

Peter Chow-White, Simon Fraser U; Richard Smith, Simon Fraser U

Presented at the following event:

6250. Social Games, Social Capital, Social Rituals, and Community
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

In this paper, we investigate the gathering and utilization of user-generated data from online video games, and the
process of innovating data mining technologies to digitally sort individuals and groups within the social games
industry. How and why do information and data entrepreneurs in the online games industry instrumentalize user
behaviour in online games for the purpose of data mining? Primary data gathered for this investigation includes in-
depth interviews with multinational industry stakeholders about their business practices, revenue sourcing, and
emergent data mining algorithms in order to explore the politics that lie behind data and its acquisition, management,
sale, and distribution.

Presented at the following event:

8139. The Public Relations Practitioner Experience
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

This study examined the effects of public relations practitioners’ estimation of a leader within an organization on their
perceptions and behaviors. Guided by theories of full-range leadership and the contingency theory (Cancel, Cameron,
Sallot, & Mitrook; 1997), this study conceptualized and tested the relationships between transparent leadership, the
followers’ work engagement, reputation perceptions on their organizations, and the practitioners’ willingness to adopt
an accommodative stance. Data were collected from public relations practitioners in South Korea (N=100). Simple
linear and multiple regression analyses and factor analyses showed that our subjects identified leadership in public
relations to include communication leadership. Most importantly, transparent leadership was the significant predictor
of organizational reputation (B=.54), the practitioners’ work engagement (B=.41), and willingness to adopt
accommodation (B=.41). Findings are discussed in terms of how these data can inform public relations research and
practice.
Transportation, Need for Cognition, and Affective Disposition as Factors in Enjoyment of Film Narratives, Bradford
Owen, California State U - San Bernardino; Matt Riggs, California State U - San Bernardino

Presented at the following event:

7550. Media and Entertainment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This article proposes and empirically tests a theoretical model in which need for cognition and affective disposition
influence viewers’ transportation (absorption in a narrative) which in turn influences enjoyment of the narrative.
Using two re-edited versions of the feature film Memento (Nolan, 2000) and the original film as treatments intended
to produce varying levels of cognitive challenge, the researcher conducted an experiment with 91 participants.
Structural equation modeling analysis results strongly support the model overall; strongly support need for cognition
and affective disposition as significant influences on transportation; and strongly support for transportation
influencing enjoyment. No significant support was found for the proposed moderating influence of cognitive
challenge presented by the narrative on need for cognition or for cognitive challenge as a main influence on
transportation.

7330. Health Literacy and Health Information Processing: Connecting Knowledge to Community Action
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Childhood obesity has grown to epidemic proportions in the United States, especially among low income families. As
a result, fitness and nutrition programs have been developed to try and reverse this negative trend. The Grow Your
Kids (GYK) nutrition education program was developed to promote consumption of fruits and vegetables and was
disseminated to low income moms in Michigan. The GYK program was evaluated using a multi-methodological
approach including observational data from program activities and survey data from both program participants and
nutrition educators. Evaluation results reveal that delivery of the program is reflective of its goals and that nutrition
educators rate the GYK materials highly. Summative data indicate materials are disseminated widely and that certain
incentives are used by program participants more than others; however, there is little evidence that GYK is linked
directly to increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. Implications of evaluation results are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

8230. Advertising and Commercial Speech: Issues of Law and Regulation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

The commercial speech doctrine in the United States is filled with grey areas and potential legal pitfalls for for-profit
corporate communicators, particularly in light of a transformational shift in for-profit corporate giving to focus on
cause-marketing campaigns related to corporate social responsibility initiatives. This shift in communication strategy,
paralleled with communicators’ limited knowledge of commercial speech laws and regulations, suggests a potentially
troublesome situation. In this paper, the authors examine different models of for-profit corporate philanthropy in the
context of limited constitutional protection of commercial speech to alert communicators engaged in implementing
corporate social responsibility strategies that they must be careful not to run afoul of commercial speech laws and
regulations.
Troubling Engagements: The Politics of Engaging Queer Feminist Media Studies, Mary L. Gray, Indiana U

Presented at the following event:

5132. Doing It: Methodological Challenges for Sexuality Research in Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

In an era of "big data," studies of sexuality and queer representation teeter in a precarious position: historically
marked as highly specialized terrain in communication research, sexuality studies must make a case for its value in a
research milieu that demands statistical significance, distance, objectivity, and political neutrality in exchange for
legitimacy. Conversely, ethnographic studies of sexuality and media, particularly those informed by feminist and
queer epistemologies, draw on the strengths of particularity, community engagement, and up-ending the assumption of
answers in numbers. Rather than choosing quantitative approaches over qualitative ones, I make a case for valuing
ethnography as “big data” in sexuality studies of media. I argue that the ethnographic—rather than statistical—
significance of data, such as non-profit youth agency age policies and Institutional Review Board (IRB) expectations
of the boundaries between “research” and “practice,” helps us understand how LGBTQ scholars negotiate connections
between academia and “our” various publics.
Trusting the Government to Censor the Press?, Bruce William Hardy, Louisiana State U; Emily Pfetzer, Louisiana
State U

Presented at the following event:

6235. Political Journalism
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Trust in government has declined. The literature in political science contains numerous speculations and empirically
supported conclusions as to why this is. While much of this work has commented on the consequences of a distrusting
polity, this study examines the consequences of a trusting polity. Specifically, this study outlines the influence of trust
in government on support for government restrictions on the press. Using data from a national sample of 1,500
American adults and 673 journalists, we show that higher levels of trust in government translate into higher levels of
support for government restrictions of the press. The more the American public and professionals in the field of
journalism trust the government, the more likely they are to agree that the federal government can limit the right of the
press to report a story. Not only is this relationship robust across these two different samples, the findings of this study
hold for individuals across political orientations and political party identification. These findings suggest that political
trust may have some negative effects and that too much trust in government may actually be detrimental to the
functioning of democratic institutions, such as a free press.

Presented at the following event:

8137. Harnessing Social Media and the Web for Revolutionary and Humanitarian Purposes
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Introduction: Social networking sites recently progressed from basic communication tools among individuals to
disaster outreach mechanisms for organizations. Background: Since its recent creation, Twitter has evolved into a
global network used as a relationship building mechanism; and emerged in 2010 as a communication resource for
international organizations to provide assistance to Haiti. Methods: A content analysis was conducted on tweets
posted (n= 2616) three months pre- and post-earthquake by six international organizations; followed by chi-square
analysis and logistic regression. Results: The findings suggest the way organizations used Twitter changed over time
and tweet content varied by the type of posting organization. Discussion: The differences in tweet content pre- versus
post-earthquake suggest the need for social networking sites to become part of an organization’s communication
disaster response. Conclusion: This study serves as an informative starting point in assessing the organizational use of
Twitter surrounding a disaster to create an outreach community.
Two Decades of Exposure to Public-Affairs TV in the Netherlands, Anke Wonneberger, U of Vienna

Presented at the following event:

5520. How Fragmented Are We? Patterns of Media Use Around the Globe
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

The growing abundance of viewing alternatives has been feared to diminish the relevance of television as a medium
for public-affairs information. Viewers can choose between an increasing diversity of information programs – or
avoid news and current-affairs programming completely. This study analyzes exposure to public-affairs programs on
TV in the Netherlands over the last two decades. Using electronically recorded people-meter data on the individual
level, it compares serious and light news as well as current-affairs formats. As opposed to concerns about audience
fragmentation and specialization, the results show that informational viewing patterns have diversified. More
entertaining information programs have not substituted serious formats but were used as an additional source of
information. High levels of exposure to public-affairs programming seem to result from an interplay between the
specific Dutch viewing environment and stable viewing habits.

6521. Developing Methods for Media Research (High Density Session)
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Inter-coder reliability is the most often used quantitative indicator of measurement quality in content studies.
Researchers in psychology, sociology, education, medicine, marketing and other social science disciplines also use
reliability to evaluate the quality of diagnosis, tests and other assessments. More than a dozen indicators of reliability
have been introduced for general use. This article analyzes 18 indices of inter-coder reliability, including the first
introduced -- percent agreement (ao) and Benini’s β (1901), the most often “reinvented” -- Guttman’s ρ (1946) and
Bennett et al’s S (1954), the most often used -- Scott’s π (1955) and Cohen’s κ (1960), the most strongly advocated--
Krippendorff’s α (1970), and the most recently introduced -- Gwet’s AC1 (2008). The analysis uncovered two liberal-
conservative continuum for the indices analyzed, which may be useful for content analysts who wish to better evaluate
the inter-coder reliability indices of their instruments.
Type of Frame Dependence: Variation in Media Frames Affecting Attitudes via Audience Frames, Anouk Susan van
Drunen, University of Amsterdam; Hajo G. Boomgaarden, U of Amsterdam; Rens Vliegenthart, U of Amsterdam

Presented at the following event:

5521. Theory Development in News Frame Exposure Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

In this paper two suggested processes of framing theory (Scheufele, 1999) are tested: frame setting (media affecting
audience frames) and the individual effects process (audience frames affecting attitudes or behavior). Media frames
may affect opinions and behavior, however these effects are not direct effects. This paper incorporates the mediating
influence of audience frames into the process. The case under study is the representation of Muslims in the
Netherlands. Mediation is tested through content analyzing media content and a four-wave panel survey. Using
Structural Equation Modeling, we analyze whether problem and out-group media frames affect problem and out-group
audience frames and if the latter affect the attitude toward Muslims. The results indicate that audience frames mediate
the effect of media frames onto attitudes in some cases. We suggest that the combined frame setting and individual
level effects processes may not be generic, but depend on types of frames and time.

Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The introduction will focus on the role that communication plays in meeting the rights of children worldwide. A brief
overview of the Convention on the Rights of the Child will be followed by a description of the Communication for
Development function in UNICEF, with its focus on the socio-cultural determinants of children’s well-being. How
does communication help parents and caregivers ensure that children, especially the most disadvantaged and
marginalized, survive, develop and thrive? Issues of participation by children, their families and communities in all
processes that affect their lives, and of empowerment of particularly marginalized groups will be presented briefly.
These comments culminate in the rationale for producing this resource pack on communicating with, for and about
children.

Presented at the following event:

7151. Relational Change and Maintenance
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

This study examines how individuals age 40 above manage their retirement uncertainty in face-to-face contexts as
well as computer-mediated contexts. In particular, the study aims to identify how perceived social costs of information
seeking in two contexts are associated with individuals’ specific information management strategies during retirement
planning. The sequential mixed methods are used to capture individual’s retirement information seeking in contexts.
The findings prove the existence of social costs during retirement information seeking. The findings also suggest that
perceived social costs are topic sensitivity, negative feedback, and inaccurate information. In particular, the findings
uncover that perceived social costs of information seeking are associated with specific information management
strategies. The current study expands previous studies on uncertainty management during retirement planning.

7154. Uncertainty and Community in the Context of Disasters
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

An increasingly large vein of our research programs on uncertainty and information regulation has been devoted to
understanding the complex experience o f uncertainty in the context of disasters. Toward that end we reflect on recent
data that provide insight into the nature of uncertainty and its health outcomes, and offer Afifi et al’s (2006)
Theoretical Model of Communal Coping as a framework from which to better understand survivors’ experiences. We
suggest the need for disaster response units to devote considerable more attention to the association between
information and uncertainty, encourage the development of interventions focused on communal coping resources, and
propose several areas for future research.

Presented at the following event:

7631. Commercial and Prosocial Applications of Video Games (High-Density Session)
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

This study investigated how partner’s avatar appearance and attentional demands on perceivers influenced key
communicative factors in real-time interactions. Avatar salespeople dressed in black clothes were less persuasive and
untrustworthy, and elicited lower product bids compared to avatar salespeople in white. Moreover, participants
maintained larger interpersonal distances from avatars dressed in black. Attentional demands reliably affected
participant’s perceptions and misperceptions of avatars. While cognitively non-busy participants expressed less trust
towards avatar salespeople in black instead of white clothes, cognitively busy participants failed to make distinctions
and trusted both avatar types equally. The findings expanded current work on the priming effects of avatar
appearance, and enriched this theoretical approach by showing how cognitive load affects impression-formation and
stereotyping in avatar-based interaction.

Presented at the following event:

8238. The State, the Market, and the Media in China
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

So far research on media and globalization has focused mainly on the global circulation of media products through
formal channels. Few works study the distribution and consumption of media content via informal and sometimes
illegal routes such as peer-to-peer (P2P) filesharing. This study analyses a Chinese case at the juncture of the
abovementioned issues. I study the case of a Chinese online volunteer community of Zimuzu, which are Internet-based
subtitle groups that translate foreign media content, to explore the cultural significance of creative media consumption
via P2P networks. I lay out the theoretical framework for understanding power on digital networks to try to capture the
power relations at the institutional and individual levels. I continue by analysing the Zimuzu case looking at: 1) the
operation of Zimuzu within the Chinese context of media market and state regulation; 2) how Zimuzu localize
Western media content through their subtitle translations; and 3) how participants negotiate different, and sometimes
contradictory dimensions of their identities in Zimuzu activities. I summarize my findings in order to situate this study
in debates on media consumption in a global networked society.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This study examines media framing of the Commonwealth Games in newspapers in Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
and the U.K. A textual analysis of newspaper articles demonstrates that the focus on mismanagement in game
preparations and negative stereotypes of India undermined the perceived success of the Games. It reinforced the
differences and hegemonic beliefs about India as a backward country with myriad problems. This study draws
attention to continued hegemonic function of the Western press in negatively framing events in developing countries
and calls for more attention to how the press functions to perpetuate existing social attitudes and prejudices.
Ultimately, this study connects news framing to power and ideology to help understand why some frames are more
prominent than others in the news coverage of events in developing countries, and thus goes beyond tradition
exploration of how events are framed in the press.

6122. Networks in Context: Ecological Approaches, Communication, and Healthy Communities
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Expanding on Media System Dependency (MSD) and Communication Infrastructure Theory (CIT), the USC
Metamorphosis Project has been developing the conceptual understanding of communication ecology over the last
two years. Defined as “a network of communication resource relations constructed by an individual in pursuit of a
goal and in context of their communication environment”, we see communication ecology as both a conceptual tool
and a method of inquiry. Conceptually, we understand individuals as agentic goal-seekers that identify and engage
with different types of resources (i.e. organizational, interpersonal, mediated or professional). As a tool, the
communication ecology measure temporally unfolds the network of resources that individuals activate in addressing
specific goals. In this paper we describe the development of the concept and measure, as well as present preliminary
data on how this novel approach has been applied to an NIH multi-level study examining barriers to cervical cancer
prevention.
Understanding Mobile Internet Use: Integrating Habit Strength Into the Theory of Planned Behavior, Sookyong Kim,
Michigan State University; Hsin-Yi Sandy Tsai, Michigan State U; jong-hwan Baek, Michigan State U

Presented at the following event:

5523. Mobile Device Use
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Accessibility to the Internet via mobile phones has changed people’s communication styles. However, despite
increasing use of mobile Internet, there is a paucity of research concerning psychosocial factors of mobile Internet use.
This study examines the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with habit strength integrated into the model to predict the
intention to use mobile Internet by conducting an online survey. Regression analyses show that the TPB provides a
good prediction of intentions to use mobile Internet. Habit strength contributes additional variance to the prediction of
intentions, and reduces the effects of perceived behavioral control over the mobile Internet use.
Understanding Narrative Effects: The Role of Discrete Negative Emotions on Message Processing and Attitudes
among Low-income African American Women, Jina H. Yoo, U of Missouri - St. Louis; Matthew W. Kreuter, Saint

Presented at the following event:

7130. Information Processing, Message Strategies, and Media Effects: From Health Promotion to Public Policy
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

This study tests the processes through which breast cancer narrative message is effective by taking a functional
approach. We explore how discrete negative emotions (i.e., sadness, fear, and anger) induced by the cancer prevention
and detection messages will help African American women to promote careful message processing, to recall different
aspects of message contents, and finally to attain a positive attitudinal outcome. The structural equation modeling was
performed for two different types of breast cancer prevention and detection videos (narrative and informational)
shown to 409 low-income African American women ages 40 and older. The model was well fitted. Sadness appears to
enhance persuasive success, while fear is inhibiting the persuasive process. Sadness also helped participants to recall
more message-relevant contents, while fear inhibited participants from recalling message contents. Anger was not
related to the persuasive process. Implications of these findings for the model and narrative research are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

6523. News Media Use
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

As social media has become the top outlet for people to access news stories shared by individual users, it is important
to know what factors may influence users’ news sharing in the social media context. Based on the diffusion of
innovations theory, the present study achieves this by examining the influence derived from characteristics of
diffusion networks, opinion leadership in online community, and attributes of news stories. Hierarchical regression
was employed to analyze the self-reported data from 310 students. Several interesting findings were revealed. First, it
was identified that tie strength of networks had significant influence on users’ news sharing intention in social media.
Second, we found that users who perceived themselves as opinion leaders were more inclined to share news. Finally,
in terms of news attributes, news relevance was significantly associated with news sharing intention rather than news
credibility. Implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.

Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In the last decade of Internet development, conceptualizations of a “Web 2.0″ mainly focusing on enabling and
harnessing user generated content have grown common in both public discourse and in academia. While hopes have
generally been held high concerning these matters in the journalistic context, most research projects on the topic have
produced results contrary to these hopes. Most visitors seem to be content with staying readers, not assuming more
active roles of “prosumers”. This paper presents a review of research performed on interactivity on newspaper web
sites, focusing on views expressed by both journalists and audience members. Building on this, the paper suggests that
insights from Structuration theory can be helpful for researchers interested in online journalism, and that “non-use” in
this regard can be understood as part of reproducing what might be called a “structure of audiencehood” rather than a
“structure of prosumerism”.

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

China is the discursive space for an emerging global superpower and a controlling government party. Little is known
how communication as a generative process empowers 2.6 million NGOs to negotiate with a controlling party to build
civil communities. This project examines how NGOs deliberately communicate their organizational identity in
relation to the large social system, in order to build civil communities in China. This project asks: how do NGOs
strategically communicate their organizational identity(ies) in order to meet civic goals in a complex environment?
This study utilizes two (meta)theoretical lenses – an interpretive lens and an ecological lens – and puts them into
conversation with one another. This project adopts a multi-methodological approach (i.e., a close reading of
documents, in-depth interviews, and a network survey) to address this question. Participants of this project include 24
NGO practitioners from 10 leading civic organizations in China.

Currently, widespread HIV testing is the best preventive action against further spread of the HIV epidemic. However,
over 40% of the U.S. population has never been tested for HIV and 25% of those with HIV have never been tested. To
increase testing rates, in 2006 the CDC advised healthcare settings to conduct testing on an opt-out basis. Qualitative,
semi-structured interviews with ten seropositive patients and ten seronegative were conducted to address the lack of
studies investigating patients’ acceptance of and attitude towards this and more novel testing models, e.g. incentivized
or anonymous mandatory testing. Participants were asked about their HIV testing history and attitudes towards opt-
out, incentivized, and mandatory anonymous HIV testing. Major themes were identified using grounded theory data
analysis. All participants were receptive to opt-out testing, and saw the removal of separate written consent as
beneficial as long as patients were given the opportunity to consent in some form. Participants were supportive of
incentivized testing as a pragmatic measure to entice people to test, but felt that ideally these potentially coercive
measures should not be necessary to encourage individuals to look after their own health. Ultimately, both mandatory
and opt-out testing were equally indicated by participants as being the most effective testing model at increasing
testing rates. A firm understanding of patients’ perspectives allows for development of effective HIV testing
initiatives that are patient-sensitive and can substantially reduce HIV infection rates.

8231. The Role of Emotion in Media Selection and Effects
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

Involvement with characters is an important part of media enjoyment. Researchers have examined different forms of
character involvement. Though conceptually unique because of its focus on the relational aspect between viewer and
media character, parasocial interaction has received relatively less attention. Understanding parasocial interaction and
relationships is useful for explaining belief and attitudinal changes during, but also outside, media exposure,
especially in light of new resources to do so (e.g., social media).This investigation explored the predictors of
parasocial relationships (Study 1) and the outcomes related to parasocial interaction (Study 2). In study one, need for
affect appeared to be a novel predictor of parasocial relationship strength. In study two, need for affect was not related
to parasocial interaction strength, though parasocial interaction was related to an absolute sleeper effect of increased
positive smoking beliefs. Results from these studies provide empirical evidence for the distinction between parasocial
interaction and relationships.

Social media applications connect individuals directly to one another and provide significant opportunities to share
myriad types of information that are generated by users themselves. This explosion of user-generated information has
created tremendous opportunities, but is also accompanied by significant challenges for determining the credibility of
the information that people find through these sources. This paper examines these issues. We begin with an analysis
of how social software complicates and shifts conceptualizations of source expertise by facilitating direct access to
information compiled by a multitude of potentially lay authors. We then propose new forms of expertise rooted in the
experience of individuals rather than based on their formal credentials, and consider several approaches to judging and
conceptualizing expertise that attempt to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the contemporary
online environment. We conclude by evaluating the advantages and risks posed by these new forms of expertise and
by considering how these are likely to evolve over time.

The present study investigated the factors that affect employees’ acceptance and use of teleconferencing systems
within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Using an online survey with 155 company
employees, structural equation modeling analyses generally confirmed the key propositions of TAM. The study also
found that both individual factors including self-efficacy and anxiety and institutional factors such as institutional
support and voluntariness were significantly related to PEOU, PU, and actual use of the systems. In addition, while
anxiety was negatively associated with PEOU, it was positively associated with actual use. Theoretical and practical
implications were discussed.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

According to impersonal-impact hypothesis, mass media influence societal level risk judgment whereas interpersonal
communication channels affect personal level risk judgment. Some studies, however, suggest mass media play an
important role in increasing personal vulnerability about a certain health problem and interpersonal communication
raise social risk perception. Also there have been studies to show a negative or neutral effect of communication
factors in shaping risk judgment. With these mixed results of examining the relationship between mass media,
interpersonal communication, and risk perception, the purpose of the current study is twofold: (a) to explore the
underlying mechanism of how mass media influence risk perception and (b) to explore the role of interpersonal
communication in the process.

6232. Effects of Sexual Media Content on Adolescents
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This paper examines the impact of a popular documentary series about teen pregnancy, MTV's 16 and Pregnant, on
adolescent girls’ pregnancy-related attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral intentions. Our results suggest that girls who
watched 16 and Pregnant compared to a control group reported a lower perception of their own risk for pregnancy and
a greater perception that the benefits of teen pregnancy outweigh the risks. We also examined the relationships
between affinity and parasocial interaction with the teen moms featured in 16 and Pregnant and attitudes, beliefs, and
behavioral intentions, finding that affinity predicted lower risk perceptions, greater acceptance of myths about teen
pregnancy, and more favorable attitudes about teen pregnancy. Parasocial interaction demonstrated the same pattern
of results, with the addition of also predicting fewer behavioral intentions to avoid teen pregnancy. Practical and
theoretical implications are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

An experimental study tested the hypothesis that familiarity with risk message content is a common cause for the
underestimation risk, and that unfamiliar risk information increases implicit attention to threat, risk perceptions and
risk message acceptance. Participants were assigned to conditions of high or low risk level, and unfamiliar or familiar
risk regarding the health effects of caffeine consumption in a 2 x 2 design. Attention to threat was measured with
response times to happy versus angry faces in a face recognition task, and risk perceptions, attitudes toward caffeine
consumption and intentions to change were assessed in a questionnaire. Risk level and familiarity exerted interactive
effects on implicit threat detection, attitudes, and intentions, such that threat detection was quicker, and attitudes and
intentions were highest under conditions of high risk and low familiarity. Especially high-risk target groups may
benefit from unfamiliar risk messages.

5338. Unmasking the Hidden and Suppressed Through Organizational Communication Research
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This paper questions the widely-held assumption that organizations generally desire high visibility. Several types of
hidden collectives—where organizations and/or their members conceal identity information from relevant audiences
—are examined here: secret societies, criminal organizations, informal economy, terrorist networks, secret
government agencies, and a range of other less visible entities (anonymous support groups, various small businesses,
hackers, etc.). Research about the organizational and communicative aspects of these hidden collectives is presented
to illustrate their relevance for organizational communication. The paper discusses several conclusions about these
hidden organizations and calls upon organizational communication scholars to expand our thinking, theorizing, and
research about them.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This study investigates a growing phenomenon of Internet-established but operating as in-person voluntary
associations, which are termed “mixed-mode groups” hereafter. Using Meetup.com as the research site, this study
illustrates the impacts of mixed-mode groups. Analysis of an online survey with 171 Meetup group organizers yields
insights into the strategies used by groups as well as the external activities involving network contacts in bringing
forth positive outcomes at the collective level. Both internal and external strategies had significant effects on group
outcomes: while internal strategies had direct effects on group impacts, external strategies had more circuitous and
additive effects on group impacts through network resources. Additionally, in unraveling the role of mixed-modality
in group organizing and generating group impacts, a multigroup analysis was conducted. The results showed that
mixed-mode organizing can be seen as a capacity that helps groups to generate group impacts. Implications of these
findings for theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

The world of financial services holds an interesting dichotomy for public relations, which not only serves the
regulated side of the industry, but periodically, may serve the unregulated side as well. The internet has helped to
democratize financial activity by enabling smaller investors to form online communities where they share tips and
swap investment advice. This study explores how one group of Jamaican investors urgently sought out information
and advice from each other via an online community following the public relations fall-out from the closure of Olint, a
high-profile unregulated investment scheme. The investment scheme, its customers and the broader investing public
are considered within the context of the circuit of culture, adding to the body of work now applying cultural models to
public relations activity.

The line between man and computer is no longer drawn at the ability to think but the capacity to feel. With the focus
on emotion in human-computer interaction, research has extended past the cognitive to understand new aspects of
human experience. This paper studies the affective turn of mobile phones using interviews with couples and an online
survey. The focus is not limited to the mobile’s role in mediating emotion or as an object of affection due to its
contents, but points to it as a stand-alone affective actor. This paper argues that mobiles are not simply inert objects
that only respond to our whims and wants they too have a presence. They move us in the same way that people can
move each other they are energetic participants in our assembly of human and non humans. As a result, users rarely
view mobiles as mere technological devices but rather as natural beings, ones that have expressions derived from the
presence they create. This paper argues that mobiles transfer affect, emit or radiate an aura that generates anxiety,
pleasure or calm in people or places. Our relationships with them, often characterised by paradoxes and ambivalence,
is shifting away from the realm of mobile culture to become part of human nature.

Evidence shows that averting unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, as well as using healthy birth spacing saves lives of
mothers and children (Campbell and Graham 2006; Cleland et al. 2006). Jhpiego, an international, non-profit health
organization affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University, receives funding from USAID for the ACCESS-FP
program, which focuses on reducing unmet need for family planning among postpartum women in low-resource
settings by strengthening maternal, neonatal, and child health service delivery programs. Since 2006, the program has
sponsored a postpartum family planning Community of Practice (CoP) for continuing support and dialogue among
program officers and other interested members. Online collaboration of CoP members includes a series of online
global forums conducted via e-mail with guest expert “speakers” and message archives in a CoP collaboration area.
This presentation presents feedback from CoP members as to how knowledge exchange through the online forums has

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

A two-wave panel study with an interval of six months was conducted among adolescents aged 12 to 16 years (n=819)
to examine the relationship between using sexually explicit websites and sexual initiation with attention for
adolescents’ pubertal status. Structural equation modeling and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the
data. Results indicated that frequent users of sexually explicit websites were five times more likely to initiate sexual
intercourse than non-users. Pubertal status moderated this relationship. In line with our expectations, an increased
likelihood to initiate sex was found among adolescents in an early pubertal stage who frequently used sexually explicit
websites. However, a lower likelihood to initiate sex was found among adolescents in an advanced pubertal stage. The
possibility of a reciprocal relationship was also examined, but in both groups, sexual initiation at baseline did not
affect the frequency of visiting sexually explicit websites six months later.

This study identifies trends in survey method use in mass communication research and the problems in the specific
use of survey based on the Total Survey Error Paradigm. A content analysis of research articles published in top mass
communication journals that were likely to publish survey research shows that the self-administered print survey was
the most common survey mode and most studies opted for non-probability sampling. Use of surveys in conjunction
with content analysis decreased, while in conjunction with experiments increased. The analysis shows the surveys in
mass communication heavily relied on a single mode and no strong efforts in minimizing the total survey errors

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Social commerce, a new form of commerce that involves using social media, has been rapidly developing. This study
analyzes consumer behaviors in social commerce, focusing on the role of social influence in social commerce. A
model is created to validate the relationship between the subjective norm and trust, social support, attitude, and
intention. The results of the model show that the subjective norm is a key behavioral antecedent to use social
commerce. In the extended model, the moderating and mediating effects of the subjective norm on relationships
among variables were found to be significant. The new set of variables adapted from previous research can be social
commerce-specific, acting as factors that enhance attitudes and behavioral intentions in social commerce. The
implications of the findings are discussed in terms of building a theory of social interaction and providing practical
insights into developing user-centered social commerce as a platform.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Social media have a growing influence concerning the distribution of attention on the internet (Olmstead, Mitchell, &
Rosenstiel, 2011). Recommendations of users, but also self-advertisement of media serves as a sort of pre-filter for
journalistic websites. For our study on the meso-level of recommendation networks, we used the search engine
backtweets.com to identify tweets linking to one of 157 German media outlets. All in all, 354.794 tweets led to one of
those journalistic websites in April 2010. The top 20-websites gained 74 percent of all tweets, indicating that the
distribution of links follows a power-law. In a content analysis of a random sample of 807 tweets, we analyzed the
characteristics of the articles recommended by Twitter users. Most of them dealt with politics followed by economics
and sports. Selection criteria do not seem to differ significantly from journalism. Only 10 percent of the tweets
incorporated a comment, why Twitter is not a place for critical follow-up communication but rather a source for
Social Navigation cues.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

In the current era of 24 hours news information has become one of the most sought out and consumed commodity.
News is exchanged constantly online both through mass and interpersonal communication. Indeed, many of the new
interactive features common to online news websites are blurring the distinction between mass and interpersonal The
particular interactive feature germane to this study are user-directed agendas, specifically, the “most popular” sections
of online newspapers and news aggregators. This research contains two studies, the first a content analysis examining
these most popular agendas; and the second a survey of the users that consume most popular agendas. The content
analysis revealed distinct differences between the front page and the most popular agenda. Similarly, the exploration
of most popular users demonstrates different traits (need for cognition), uses, and gratifications from front page users.
Ultimately, distinct issue agendas are contained within and acquired from these most popular sections.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This paper examines the concept of user generated content UGC as it relates to current perspectives on participatory
journalism. We argues that the extent to which user generated content serves participatory journalism depends on
feature attributes as well as user orientation. Our conceptual analysis of UGC highlights three dimensions for
assessing the participatory nature of UGC features. Two dimensions relate to the essence of the content: (1) Content
creator: Who actually created the content, users or editorial staff? (2) Open-ended vs. closed ended UGC. What degree
of liberty are users offered when contributing their content. The third dimension accounts for (3) feature usability—
the combined factor of content placement, user technical capacity and participatory orientation. The paper discusses
each of these dimensions to illuminate differences in the nature of UGC features found in online newspapers, and
accordingly differences in their contribution to journalism and democracy.

Communication campaigns have tremendous potential to reduce individual energy use; specifically, people need
encouragement to unplug electronics and/or switch off surge protectors when not in use. An experiment was
conducted to test the effects of guilt appeals, freedom threatening language, and message referent on reactance, anger,
and attitude toward unplugging behavior. These data confirmed that guilt appeals, in relation to neutral appeals, do
cause more reactance, anger, and negative attitudes in individuals. Data also confirmed that high threat to freedom
taglines, in relation to no threat to freedom taglines, do cause more reactance and anger in participants. Message
referent was not found to influence message outcomes. Results and implications for environmental communication
practitioners are discussed.

User activities in social media sites, such as online communities, have mainly been examined under the assumption
that individuals are rational individuals who are always cognizant of what they are doing and why. We argue that not
all “use” is the same; while some behaviors are governed by conscious motivations, others may be a habitual response
that is developed out of routine. We take a more granular approach to explaining what people are doing in online
communities and how motivations and habits explain their use of specific features. In the context of the user-
generated content community Everything2 we employ both server log and self-report data, finding that habit is a non-
conscious-driven behavior that is more associated with less cognitively-demanding tasks than content production.

Abstract This study was particularly interested in exploring the effects of related self -affirmation on acceptance of
persuasion message about the out-group issue. Results showed that affirming a related personal value might generate
different effects on individuals. For people who have no or mild prejudiced attitude, affirming a related personal value
(kindness) increased the acceptance of persuasive message to include immigrants into the health reform. For people
who have strong prejudiced attitude, affirming a related personal value (kindness) failed to encourage the acceptance
of persuasive message. Implications were discussed at the end. Keywords: self-affirmation, prejudice towards
immigrants, health reform.

Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

The teaching of theoretical concepts in an undergraduate setting can be challenging in that it requires students to
acquire critical and abstract thinking skills while they gain knowledge about basic communication theories. YouTube
grants professors of communication theory, especially those who teach intercultural, gender, and interpersonal
communication theory, a wealth of opportunity for illustrating abstract concepts. This presentation will focus on one
classroom exercise that proved especially beneficial to undergraduates reviewing interpersonal concepts. The
exercise required students to blog about a particular theory and provide a YouTube clip from a movie or TV show that
illustrated the concept. Students used clips from sitcoms, children's movies and romantic comedies to illustrate myriad
interpersonal theories involving disclosure rules, filtering, and relationship development. This presentation will
discuss both practical and pedagogical issues inherent in such a video-blogging assignment for undergraduates.

Over the past two decades numerous interventions have sought to curb the use of emergency services for medical non-
emergencies by directing patients with non-urgent conditions to primary care providers. Less research, however, has
examined the beliefs and attitudes that individuals hold about each of these healthcare options and the criterion on
which these beliefs are evaluated. Using the theory of planned behavior, this study explores the beliefs about primary
care and emergency care held by residents of a low-income community known to use emergency services for non-
urgent medical conditions. Findings suggest that residents believe primary care costs more than emergency care, that
wait times for primary care are inexplicably long, and that they and others must overcome myriad barriers to receive
primary care. Implications are discussed within the context of strengthening interventions that seek to dissuade
patients with non-urgent conditions from calling 911 and/or pursuing treatment at hospital emergency departments.

Research has shown that the study of interpersonal communication is severely limited by relying on information
provided by main respondents only and by not interviewing their discussants. This study presents an experiment
(N=352, random selection) that tests three different approaches for snowballing discussants in a Web-based survey by
varying both the type of invitation sent to the discussants and the level of privacy protection. Results show that
snowballing using the Web is promising. Most successful is asking main respondents to directly invite their
discussants with a “send to” function built into the Web survey.
Utilizing Audiovisual and Gain Message Frames to Attenuate Psychological Reactance Towards Strategic Health
Messages, Hyunmin Lee, Saint Louis University; Glen T. Cameron, U of Missouri

Presented at the following event:

6229. Message Frames, Narratives, and Humor: Emerging Issues in Health Communication Scholarship
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Following empirical evidence that psychological reactance toward health messages can be attenuated by emphasizing
the positive outcomes of following the message’s recommendations and that high modality messages have a better
chance of being automatically processed, this study predicted that gain-framed messages and audiovisual content
could counteract state reactance and increase the persuasiveness of weight management messages, which would make
people feel more favorable towards and comply toward the recommendations in the health message. A 2 (message
frame: gain/loss) x 2 (modality: audiovisual/text) x 2 (message) within-subjects experiment was conducted with
undergraduate students (N = 81) and the data indicated that, in the context of weight management messages, gain-
framed messages mitigate psychological reactance while the modality and the frame of the health message interact in
such a way that gain-framed messages in an audiovisual modality generate the highest motivations to comply with the
recommendations in the persuasive health messages.
Valence Framing, New Communication Platform, and Health Risk: Does Social Networking Media Matter in
Understanding Painkiller Use?, Gang (Kevin) Han, Iowa State U; Jueman (Mandy) Zhang, New York Institute of

Presented at the following event:

5155. Engaging Social Media in Health Communication
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Incorporating social networking media in an experimental setting, this study examines the effects of valenced message
frame (advantage vs. disadvantage) and message delivery platform (Twitter, Facebook and E-newsletter) on cognitive
response, risk perception, attitudes, information seeking, and behavioral intention, with painkiller use as the subject
matter. Participants report significant frame-consistent cognitive responses, in which disadvantage frame is more
effective than advantage frame. Advantage frame is more persuasive than disadvantage frame in forming participants’
perceived risk, where advantage-frame reduces perceived risk, but disadvantage-frame does not enhance risk
perception. Meanwhile, risk perception is negatively associated with attitude, while attitude is negatively correlated
with information seeking. Subsequently, frame, along with attitude and information seeking, significantly influences
behavioral intention to use painkiller. Participants in advantage condition using Twitter indicate more willingness to
use painkiller than those in disadvantage condition.
Validation of a Content Analytic Instrument for Evaluating the Parasocial Interaction Potential of Political Talk

Presented at the following event:

6521. Developing Methods for Media Research (High Density Session)
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study articulated and validated a content analytic instrument for evaluating the parasocial interaction potential
(PSIP) of political talk radio. A reliable PSIP instrument contained three dimensions: intimacy (4 indicators),
conversational ease (5 indicators), and vicarious interaction (3 indicators). Using the instrument, a comparison of
political personality talk radio programs (The Glenn Beck Program and The Stephanie Miller Show) and a political
issue talk radio program (Talk of the Nation) showed that personality programs are higher in PSIP. Furthermore, an
experimental test of a high and low PSIP segment from The Glenn Beck Program showed that the high PSIP condition
elicited more PSI than the low PSIP condition. Finally, this study showed that PSI with Glenn Beck mediated the
relationship between exposure to the high PSIP program and the intention to seek media gratifications, including
decisional utility, informational utility, interpersonal utility, and entertainment (Palmgreen, et al., 1981).

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study investigated the validity of adolescents’ direct estimates of their time spent with media and their exposure
to media violence by comparing these direct estimates with adolescents’ responses to media diaries. We also
investigated how these two measurement methods correlate with aggressive behavior, an important outcome variable
in media-effects research. A sample of 211 Dutch 10- to 14-year-olds reported their general time spent with and their
exposure to violence in television, DVDs, and games and kept a two-day media diary. Except for general DVD use
and television violence exposure, all direct estimates correlated significantly with the media diaries. Only the direct
estimates of general time spent with games and DVDs and exposure to violence in games and DVDs correlated
significantly with aggressive behavior. None of the adolescents’ responses to the media diaries did so. The paper ends
with a discussion on the implications of the results for future research.

The paper is dealing with different patterns of business strategy in the press sector in Poland. The author is examining
three foreign investors' behavior and the results of their efforts. Norwegian Orkla is the first entrepreneur whose
operations were analyzed, as the group appeared the earliest, in 1990. Secondly, Verlagsgruppe Passau from Germany
is described. Their achievements are of great importance as the German group is the leader of the regional daily press
in Poland. When in 2006 Mecom bought out Orkla’s shares, a new era began. The British significantly developed their
media activity toward the Internet, although they mainly continued Norwegians’ business strategy. Analyzes of the
mentioned groups lead to conclusions about past activities as well as to predictions about the future of this part of the
market.

This paper offers a critical examination of the production process unique to the making of digital video stories by
grade 4-8 students in an urban school district with the support of university professors and students. Using excerpts
from video stories and behind-the-scenes perspectives on the process of making them, a complex picture of
intersecting communities (a K-12 school district, university, grade 4-8 students, university students, K-12 teachers and
administrators, professors) will be discussed. The multidimensional context around the creation of youth video is rich
in implications involving the substance of youth voice, the unique form and process of youth digital media
storytelling, and comparisons to more traditional genres and communicative practices. In this paper, I examine the
listening dynamics that exist between adults and youth (ie., child as author rather than audience) and the role of cross-
community discourse (university vs. K-12) on media-making as it may inform a more democratic production process
and offer lessons for future collaborative practices that build bridges between universities and schools.

There is an increased push and development in computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies, especially as
a way to develop a sense of community in both collocated and non-collocated groups and meetings. While face-to-face
still remains the medium of choice for communication interaction, some of the newer communication technology
media, in particular videoconferencing, is serving as an alternative. Notwithstanding, however, is the fact that research
is scarce on videoconferencing and its viability for training and meetings. As such, this paper explores and presents an
overview of videoconferencing in terms of benefits and challenges. In order to do this, an overview of
videoconferencing as a communication technology tool is provided alongside a case study of videoconferencing use in
an undergraduate communication course. Implications for videoconferencing are provided as well.

This investigation served two major purposes: (1) to examine the overall association between viewing sexually
explicit materials [SEM] on the Internet and viewers’ sex-related attitudes and behaviors and (2) to investigate the
relationship between various contexts of SEM viewing and viewers’ sex-related outcomes among college students.
Results suggest that overall SEM use is positively related to viewers’ sexual interest and promiscuity. Further,
different associations are found in various viewing contexts: viewing alone is positively related to sexual interest and
promiscuity, viewing with partners is negatively associated with favorable perceptions about condom use and
positively related to promiscuity, and finally viewing with friends is not associated with sexuality and perceptions of
condom use.

The aim of this study was to investigate children’s genetic susceptibility to the effects of media violence on ADHD-
related behaviors. Therefore, we proposed and tested a model hypothesizing the joint occurrence of a gene-
environment correlation (i.e., genetic predisposition increases the consumption of media violence) and a gene-
environment interaction (genetic predisposition moderates the effects of media violence on ADHD-related behaviors).
This model was tested using questionnaire and DNA data of 1,208 children between five and eight years. The
examined gene was the 5-HTT gene, which has often been associated with ADHD. Findings demonstrated a gene-
environment correlation, in that the “long” allele of the 5-HTT gene was associated with greater violent media use,
which in turn was linked to more ADHD-related behaviors. The 5-HTT gene did not moderate the effects of media
violence on ADHD-related behaviors. Our findings illustrate the importance of including differential susceptibility
variables when studying media effects.

Researchers studying virtual coaching have identified characteristics associated with heightened motivation, yet the
importance of the interpersonal connection between coach and trainee remains unstudied. Examining a how to raise
activity levels in children, this article tests two explanations for how coaching increases motivation: the first that
coaches heighten self-efficacy for the behavior, which raises motivation; the second is the more novel idea that the
quality of the pseudo-relationship between coaches and trainees is important to motivation. Although social cognitive
theory and cognitive evaluation theory both outline the association between self-efficacy and motivation, we found
that only the pseudo-relationship, operationalized as parasocial interaction, explained changes in intrinsic motivation.
Virtual coaches heightened both self-efficacy and parasocial interaction in some conditions, but only parasocial
interaction patterns in intrinsic motivation. The findings have important implications for understanding the effects of
parasocial interaction on health behaviors, with applications for designing virtual coaches.

This paper provides information about the impact of using virtual training with journalism students and journalists
along the US-Mexico border. Based on a series of classes conducted in a virtual environment, this paper provides
insight into the experiences of the journalists and journalism students who went through a virtual training program on
how to cover news events in places of conflict and crisis. A virtual environment provides the conditions that allow for
news gathering techniques to be practiced and honed in a safe environment without much risk. The opportunities and
challenges posed by this pedagogical approach are discussed. A framework of how other universities on both sides of
the border can implement a virtual training approach in their own mass communication/journalism programs is also
discussed.

7236. Analyzing the Visual: Theory, Methods, and Practice of Visual Content Analysis
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This methodological-theoretical modeling of central dimensions of pictorial content analysis starts from the
observation that empirical communication science still lacks an appropriate methodological inventory concerning a
quantitative and reproducible coding of the phenomena “picture” in its complexity. Hereby, a picture is defined as
intentional, two-dimensional, media-conveyed visualization or visual representation of meaning, possessing
situational, spatial, individual and social context (Mitchell, 1986), integrating itself into the medial context – and
being only insufficiently decipherable without these multi-layered references. Therefore, the first challenge is to
appropriately dimension the picture to better capture it content-analytically. According to Rössler (2010) five
dimensions are important: (1) significance of the picture and formal characteristics, (2) quantitative count of different
motives and persons, (3) tendency, (4) context and picture-text-relation, (5) analysis of the picture as a picture. As
further development, we propose the following dimensioning: 1. Surface Structure: Manifest content (Berelson, 1952)
can here be measured standardized and intersubjectively on (a) a Representation Level (identification/coding of
formal characteristics), (b) an Object Level (people, objects, situations), and (c) a Configuration Level („spatial
grammar“). 2. Intermediate Structure: On this meso-level quasi-manifest variables are identified that can be measured
at least partially standardized (symbols, visual stereotypes, image types and valence). 3. Deep Structure: Here the
picture’s deeper meaning is tapped as latent content, why standardized processes appear to be problematic and need to
be supplemented by qualitative analysis. Here, the content conveyed through surface and intermediate structure
condenses towards complex constructs of meaning, through which associations are presented and interpretation
patterns suggested. The focus is thus on the development of an analysis-framework, which captures the image for
content analysis – and which is employable in analyses of varying penetration levels. Based on a case study, potentials
and problems accompanying the standardization of the analysis steps are illustrated: on which pictorial levels are
standardized processes appropriate? How can qualitative and quantitative approaches benefit of each other? This
theoretical reflection aims to create a framework in which the specific method of picture analysis has to be
conceptionalized.

The international media coverage of athletes with disabilities (awd) displays diverse quantitative and qualitative
shortcomings. This study explores what effects a specific visual framing in a print article about disability sports has on
a recipient’s perception and evaluation of a depicted awd. In a 3 (framed conditions) x 2 (participants’ contact to
persons with disabilities) between-subjects experiment, 88 participants were randomly assigned to one of the three
conditions. Three news articles were created containing the same text content but different visual frames. The
photography showed a one-armed javelin thrower in combination with either (1) no spectators, (2) a few spectators, or
(3) a large crowd in the backround of the picture. After having read the illustrated article, the participants inter alia
evaluated the depicted awd with the help of a questionnaire. An ANOVA showed a significant impact of the visual
frames on the recipients’ assessments of the awd.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

By analyzing tourism promotion strategies of Hong Kong Tourism Board and two official promotion videos produced
in 1987 and in 2005, this paper discusses the transformation of the brand of Hong Kong through changes in visual
representations of cityscape, and argues that the image of the city has been displaced from representation of the city as
a place 'in between the East and the West' under colonial discourses, to a form of multiple narratives with fragmented
visuals and differentiated storylines that multiplies mediated experiences and functions of the touristed places. This
change in representation allows the city to embrace a wider range of tourists and is particularly important in the rise of
consuming power of China. However, such a mediated ‘multiple-place’ is highly commodified, culturally flattened
and shallow; more of a ‘non-place’ which facilitates tourist consumption but exploits potentials of claiming any
authenticity in identity politics in the post-colonial city.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

The self-discrepancy between one’s actual self and one’s ideal self, which is associated with negative emotional states
(e.g., depression) or unhealthy lifestyles (e.g., eating disorders), is mostly caused and intensified by exposure to
unrealistic images of others (e.g., celebrities or magazine models). Drawing from regulatory focus theory, the current
study examines whether creating self-resembling avatars, especially those that resemble our ideal selves, could
counteract this negative effect of self-discrepancy. The results of a between-subject experiment (N = 95) indicated
that, compared to attractive or unattractive avatars which were randomly assigned by the system, user-created self-
reflecting avatars made different mental images of their bodies salient based on whether they customized their avatars
to look like their actual or ideal selves, and consequently influenced their perceptions toward their physical body
through two different self-regulatory systems (i.e., promotion-focused system and prevention-focused), with
consequences for health outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

There is much evidence that non-verbal behaviors affect the emergence of status in mixed sex dyads. Several theories
have been developed to explain these linkages, but little comparative testing has been conducted. Using voice pitch
variation as a test case, we compare explanations of Mazur’s biosocial model, role congruity theory, and expectation
states theory. Recordings of 37 pairs of male and female participants discussing a controversial topic were analyzed.
There was no evidence for role congruity theory: men's pitch variation did not affect perceived influence through
perceived agency, nor did women’s pitch variation affect perceived influence through perceived communality. Our
data also do not support the biosocial model. There was little evidence that pitch variation was used to signal physical
dominance in the discussions. However, consistent with an expectation states explanation, men’s pitch variation
during discussion positively predicted their perceived influence through a chain mediation of participation and
perceived competence.

This study examines the way in which the most circulated Spanish newspaper, El País, framed the March 11, 2004
(11-M) Madrid train bombings through peace journalism or war journalism frames based on Johan Galtung’s
classification. An analysis of the news articles in the immediate aftermath of the bombings finds both frames present.
This analysis of El País demonstrates that the Spanish government attempted to use the media to wrongly suggest that
the Basque separatist group ETA was guilty of the bombings. Although El País gives voice to the elite, it also shows
the Spanish people’s feelings about peace, the Iraq war, and illuminates massive street protests. Keywords: peace

This analysis explores the central role of undercover activist footage in recent animal liberation documentaries:
Earthlings, The Cove, The Witness, Peaceable Kingdom, Behind the Mask, Fowl Play, and Dealing Dogs. The
documentaries engage viewers in becoming a witness to the injustices of industry practices that cause suffering and
silence animals’ voice and agency. We investigate how this undercover footage (of fur & factory farms, labs, kennels,
etc) functions as a “reverse panopticon” and provides an inherent critique of power in our relationship with nonhuman
animals. Drawing upon DeLuca’s notion of an “image event,” we examine how filmmakers utilize the critical
rhetorical techniques of image-based environmental activism, such as antagonism and dis-identification. To what
extent do filmmakers fulfill a role as critical rhetoricians by providing context for the undercover image events that 1)
legitimates animal activism as justified and 2) situates it as part of a historic heroic struggle for justice?

Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee A

Journalism’s legitimacy in democracy is based on the professional autonomy of journalists, but they are in important
ways constrained by the organisation in which they work. This article studies their relationship with superiors as well
as their sense of autonomy to make independent journalistic decisions in their every day work. This is done by means
of a large scale survey among Danish journalists. It shows that the relationship to superiors is better characterized by
consensus and agreement than adjustment and conflict, and it shows that journalists have a sense of substantial
independent discretion. However, this sense of professional autonomy varies across different types of news
organisations and also across the journalists’ sense of discrepancies between their own goals and values and the goals
and values of the organisation.

In the course of new technologies, media that had formerly been used stationary (e.g. TV sets) have now gone mobile.
New technology thus transforms the way television is being used and offers a whole new set of opportunities to
television viewers. Users are no longer just bound to their stationary TV set. They can choose to watch TV anywhere
at home, as well as on the move. In our paper we will outline a classification of these new usage situations as they
influence usage behavior. Researchers commonly refer to the Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 2003), Theory of
Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1985) or adaptations like TAM (Davis, 1989) or UTAUT (Vankatesh, Morris, Davis &
Davis, 2003) to explain the usage of new television technologies by the user’s perceived behavioral, normative and
control beliefs toward the actual behavior (Smith & Krugman, 2010). But these theories have one prominent
shortcoming: they ignore the concrete situation in which the user is using (cf. Katz, 2001). This shortcoming becomes
especially obvious when analyzing the mobile usage of television. As the services are ubiquitous, situations involved –
as well as their respective requirements – are unlimited. In order to overcome this shortcoming, Zhang (2010)
suggested taking situational dimensions into account when studying mobile communication. She distinguishes the
dimensions physical environments, media accesses and social dynamics with respect to new media usage behavior.
We will adapt these ideas to TV usage, whilst asking the following questions: (1) Which different types of situations
constituted by physical environments, media accesses and social dynamics can be distinguished? (2) In which
situations do people exercise the option of mobile TV? (3) Are these situations related to specific characteristics? To
answer these questions, an online survey was conducted in September 2010. 947 participants of an online access panel
completed a questionnaire, out of which 450 had used mobile TV before. The study demonstrates how these people
are using television: We identified five different usage situations which are – with respect to the types of information
or duration of usage – highly determined by the physical location. The study thus provides deeper insight into the

Northwestern University

Presented at the following event:

7521. Interactive Media Uses and Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

This study aims to identify the factors that explain television usage in contemporary media environments. An
integrated framework of television use incorporating both structural and individual determinants is tested on cross
platform media use data obtained by following 495 people throughout the day. The findings suggest that television use
is embedded in the rhythms of daily life with availability and group viewing its most salient explanations. Also, this is
the first study to use a behavioral measure of availability obtained at the level of individual users.

Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study takes a new approach to cultural norms, beliefs, and worldviews in order to define a politically charged
environmental problem within a community. The researchers looked at competing and complementary cultural
models regarding “water” in a community in the Northwest US. By examining discourses used by participants, the
researchers identified the dominant figured worlds' in the community and the effect these models may have on
community action or inaction for sustainable water use. Data was gathered through 20 semi-structured interviews and
three focus group sessions using Photovoice, a participatory research technique. The results, along with extant
research, show dominant American worldviews like individualism, superabundance of natural resources, are still
deeply engrained. Analysis of these figured worlds helps in understanding how these worlds are created, maintained,
and contested through communication, which in turn facilitates comprehension of community problems.

Presented at the following event:

6237. Extended Session: Young Scholars Research Workshop
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Heterotopias defined as “other-spaces” outside regular ordering (Foucault, 1986) are valuable sources in
understanding documentaries about the armed conflict in the Colombian context. This paper present the result of a
research study on documentaries focused on the period of democratic security policy (2002- 2010) and have into
account the representation of the spatial restrictions applied to the civil population in rural zones during these years.
The paper presents a theoretical exploration of the potentialities of heterotopia in visual communication studies and
proposes relationships with other approaches to space in human geography (Lefebvre, 1974) and the idea of “third-
space” proposed in postmodern geographies (Soja, 1996). Finally an analysis of a selected sample of documentary is
presented to show how heterotopia as a key aspect of spatial studies in communication allow analysing the
complexities of audio-visual documentary representation of the Colombian armed conflict where this communitarian
"ways of being together” can be visualized in movement.

Presented at the following event:

7551. Creating Interpersonal Connections
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Research has found that when mediated by bonding, emotional support expression is a significant predictor of
improved psychosocial outcomes for women with breast cancer in Computer Mediated Social Support (CMSS)
groups. This study seeks to further understanding of this process by examining how bonding can be formed around
seemingly lighthearted topics, such as ice cream and the deliverymen who bring it. Employing a discourse analysis of
CMSS posts, our findings illustrate how these topics provide emotional support by constructing a positive signifier of
group identity. Ice cream is frequently suggested as a cure for emotional and physical pain and is deeply intertwined
with what it means to belong to the group. Similarly, jokes about deliverymen provide a positive avenue through
which the women reference their sexuality without embarrassment. These findings suggest that patients should be
encouraged to find positive and lighthearted topics around which to form bonds in CMSS groups.
We Had a “Text Fight”: Understanding the Role of Technology-Mediated Communication in Romantic Couple
Conflict, Lauren Scissors, Northwestern U

Presented at the following event:

7224. Romatic Relationship and Technology
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Though communication technologies have become ubiquitous in today’s society, little is known about the role of text-
based communication technology in romantic couple conflict. Through a series of in-depth interviews (N=24) in
which participants in romantic dating relationships discussed past conflicts with their partners in detail, this
exploratory study examines the role of communication technologies during three general stages of conflict: conflict
initiation, conflict discussion, and conflict resolution. Results reveal that individuals have a number of motivations to
use technology-mediated communication and that the use of these communication technologies during conflict has
both drawbacks and benefits. This study is also the first to map out how couples “channel switch,” or move between
forms of mediated and face-to-face communication throughout a conflict.

7632. Chinese Communication: From Media Use to Framing China in the Internet Age
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Weibo is considered to be the Chinese media phenomenon of 2010 and 2011. This paper provides an historical
overview of microblogging in China, illustrating the role held by Sina Weibo. By analyzing four different uses of this
microblog we try to identify the key issues of 2010 and 2011 on the Weibo platform and then apply them to
communication theories such as the integration of the Impersonal ‐Interpersonal ‐Hyperpersonal approaches,
Individual‐Group‐Mass transmission fission, and communication Interaction,taking into consideration the involvement
of both the multimedia platform and civil journalism. The finalpart of paper discusses the importance of Chinese
culture, an aspect which the authors believe mustnecessarily be considered in future studies of Weibo’s growth.
Weighing Women Down: Messages on Weight Loss and Body Shaping in Editorial Content in Popular Women’s
Health and Fitness Magazines, Laura Willis, Ohio State U; Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, Ohio State U

Presented at the following event:

7329. Understanding and Addressing the Social Contexts of Health Behaviors
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Much effects research has shown that exposure to idealized body images has a self-deflating impact on women; yet
some studies found the opposite effect, which has been interpreted using the notion that everyday body image
messages (as opposed to commonly used image-only stimuli), feature plenty of ideal attainability messages that
encourage ‘thinness fantasies.’ To examine this notion, the current content analysis investigated editorial body
shaping and weight loss messages in popular women’s health and fitness magazines. Twenty-eight issues published in
2010 from five top-selling U.S. women’s health and fitness magazines were examined. The findings suggest that body
shaping and weight loss are a major topic in these magazines, contributing to roughly one fifth of all editorial content.
Assessing motivation and conduct standards, as well as behaviors promoted by the messages, the findings reflect
overemphasis on appearance over health and the advocation of health behaviors at odds with public health
recommendations.
Well-Being, Work Engagement, or Both? Explaining the Linkage Between Information Provision, Communication

Presented at the following event:

5341. Interaction as the Site of Organizing
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

For organizations, it is valuable to know how employees’ performance can be guaranteed. The aim of the current
study was to examine whether information provision may improve employee performance by enhancing
communication climate, work engagement, and employee well-being. To this end, employees (N = 306) of ten
different organisations completed an online survey. The results showed that a lack of task-related information
negatively affected communication climate. A sufficient amount of information, on the other hand, contributed to a
better performance, through communication climate and greater well-being. Although work engagement was not
related to performance, a positive communication climate did predict more work engagement among employees.
Information overload proved unrelated to the communication climate. The findings of the current study advance
existing theory and may serve as a basis for organisations to adjust their information provision and organizational
communication.

8237. News Discourse and National Image
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Although the problem of covering news within the same language does not always require a process of translation
from one language to another, journalists who cover news that come from different cultural backgrounds still face
similar challenges as those working between two languages. By analyzing frames created in Spanish newspapers El
Mundo y La Vanguardia, this paper examines approaches taken by journalists to cover news related to the banning of
Islamic faces veils in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia. As analysis demonstrates, conducting a
discussion regarding the burka ban, both ban supporters and its opponents talked passed each other attributing
different meaning to the same ideas. As findings also reveal, although journalists present presumably complete reports
covering both sides of the burka debate in Catalonia, they tend to omit the perspective of Muslim women whose
veiling practice constitutes the core of the discussion.
What Are You Telling Me? Supervisors’ Perceptions of Employees’ Dissent Messages and Conversational Outcomes,
Johny T. Garner, Texas Christian University

Presented at the following event:

7241. Speaking of Leadership: Organizational Leadership and Interpersonal Processes
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Dissent is vital to effective organizational decision making, but dissent can also be risky for employees. Part of
understanding the process of dissent is understanding how others’ perspectives differ from dissenters’ perspectives.
The study presented here examined supervisors’ perceptions of the dissent that they hear and the effectiveness and
appropriateness of that dissent. Participants reported hearing venting, direct-factual appeals, and coalition-building
significantly more frequently than other types of dissent. No dissent messages were associated with conversational
effectiveness, indicating that dissent message did not predict whether a dissenter would accomplish his/her goals.
However, a number of dissent messages were associated with conversational appropriateness, which emphasizes that
some ways of expressing dissent are perceived as more appropriate than other ways.
What Community? The Cultural Geography of Licensed Video Game Production, Derek Johnson, U of Wisconsin -
Madison

Presented at the following event:

6640. Media Production Communities and Creative Work
Saturday, May 26, 4:45 to 6:00pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

By examining institutional relationships and meaningful identifications between video game developers, publishers,
and licensors, this paper puts theories of production community into tension with cultural geography. Although
organized by corporate and content brands, game production is spatially dispersed, with design, marketing, and
managerial approval inhabiting different media capitals and even remote/peripheral locales. These geographic
distances shape how workers communicate, identify, and imagine themselves in relationship to one another, thus
determining how structural power is deployed and negotiated. Through ethnographic interviews with Wisconsin-based
studio Raven Software, this research traces from the developers’ perspective how cultural geographic locality shapes
imagined identification within corporate labor. The distance between Raven and California-based parent
company/publisher Activison allows developers to conceive their work in opposition to the corporate structure they
inhabit, while counter-identifying from a distance with outside licensors providing content and creative inspiration.
As imagined communities, production cultures negotiate power along spatial and geographic axes.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

This study’s purpose is to explain viewers’ enjoyment and feeling of being informed when watching political talk
shows on German TV, dependent on their viewing motivations. A survey (N = 189) aimed to identify these
motivations. Results show that some people have a strong interest in gaining information by following such shows;
others simply watch them for entertainment. Drawing on affective disposition theory, research about narrative effects
and the elaboration likelihood model, six hypotheses were tested in a 2 x 2 experiment with 63 subjects. Results
suggest that people watching political talk shows with a focus on entertaining features enjoy them more and feel better
informed than people watching with a focus on information; whether a talk show contains a narrative clip or not does
not make a difference. The fact that a focus on entertaining features can induce a feeling of being informed reveals an
interesting phenomenon, which is consistent with current developments in entertainment theory.
What Does it Take? Compensational Capital, Professional Recognition, and Gender Disparities Among Pulitzer Prize

5328. Professional Expertise and Subjective Emotionality in News Work
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This article compares the backgrounds and career paths of female and male Pulitzer Prize winners from the Prize’s
inaugural year of 1917 to 2010. Borrowing the “compensation model” originally developed in political science, this
study shows that female winners, compared with their male counterparts, were more likely to be born in a big city, to
have majored in journalism, to have a graduate degree, and to win the prize in the categories of local reporting and in-
depth reporting. We contend that these differences are manifestations of the logic of compensation—some forms of
social and symbolic capital can be important for female journalists to overcome their gender disadvantage in
competing for professional recognition. Our study also shows that the gender differences are applicable mainly in the
earlier historical periods. After the 1990s, women journalists no longer needed the compensational capital to boost
their chances of winning.
What Happened to the Social Contract? Arizonan’s Attacks on Mexican American Studies Under the Guise of Social

Presented at the following event:

5233. Extended Session: Battleground Arizona
Friday, May 25, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper uses social contract theory to argue that the US is built upon the concept of whereby its inhabitants
surrender some of their wealth (e.g., by paying income taxes) and their personal biases (e.g., personal prejudices) for
the benefit of an economically robust and safe society. From this base, the authors will argue that the current anti-
immigrant and anti-Mexican American Studies efforts in Arizona are an attack on the US political system.
Undocumented people perform many of the tasks that U.S. citizens and legal resident will not perform. Denying the
undocumented a clear path to citizenship creates an underclass that creates a two-tiered society. This division leads to
civil strife, such as that reflected in anti-immigrant movements. An educated population is vital to maintaining a high
standard of living. By denying Raza the opportunity to educate themselves about their ethnic group’s history, the anti-
MAS movement is hindering students’ desire and opportunity to learn in other areas. This attack on education
threatens the US; an illiterate society cannot compete globally. A large population denied legal status and another that
is denied educational advancement hinders the state’s, and thereby the U.S.’s ability to compete on a global scale.
Suggestions for the improvement of this situation will be provided.

Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

How important are newspapers to their communities and our society? For generations, scholars have argued that
newspapers provide critical information to citizens and serve as vital watchdogs of public officials – but it has been
difficult to empirically depict the value of newspapers. Using data from the 2008 and 2009 Current Population Survey
(CPS) conducted by the United States Census, this article assesses the year-over-year change in the civic engagement
of citizens in 10 major American cities, including Denver and Seattle which both lost a major newspaper during the
intervening year. The data from this natural experiment show that many indicators of civic engagement in Seattle and
Denver dropped significantly from 2008 to 2009 - declines that are not replicated in other, similar cities that did not
lose a newspaper. Keywords: Quantitative – Survey, Quantitative – Experiment, Civic Engagement, News/Journalism

7452-24. Popular Communication Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

As digital comic book consumption continues to rise in popularity, the comic book community appears conflicted over
the effects digital scans have on the meaning of collecting and reading comic books. Historically, comic ownership
served as the locus of comic fan social capital; will digital scans hold the same cultural capital as printed books? And
does post-purchased digital scan dissemination primarily hurt copyright holders through lost sales, or does it help
through social promotion? Building upon an analysis of fan attitudes towards digital comic book texts (Stevens and
Bell, 2011), this project seeks to account for the limitations of locality by surveying the attitudes of comic book store
patrons concerning their attitudes towards physical and digital comic book texts.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

Results from recent surveys conducted by the American Red Cross indicate that respondents use a variety of
technologies during disasters to seek help, to contact others about their well-being, and to learn more about the
disasters. This cultural shift has created challenges for disaster responders today. Because there is no “one-size-fits-
all” approach to using Facebook, Twitter, text alerts, and other social media, how do emergency responders and aid
organizations want those in need to seek help? How should organizations respond to the growing network of
communities who want to assist during emergencies? These types of questions provide opportunities to develop
campaigns that increase awareness and knowledge within communities on how best to seek help and communicate
during disasters.

Presented at the following event:

7255. Extended Session: Media Literacy at the Forefront of Instruction
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Teaching young people media literacy skills has been cited as one way to prevent negative effects due to exposure to
media. While many media literacy interventions have been conducted and evaluated by scholars from a wide variety
of disciplines, the findings from these studies are equivocal. I argue that this is due to a lack of consensus about what
a media literacy intervention is. The purpose of this paper is to articulate a conceptualization for media literacy
intervention and develop a list of criteria for what constitutes a media literacy intervention. Then, using this criteria,
the literature where scholars claim to conducting media literacy interventions is evaluated. I conclude that the
majority of the studies reported in literature are not media literacy interventions and are research experiments that
produce interesting findings but do not tell us how media literacy works to mitigate negative media effects.

Brenton John Malin, U of Pittsburgh

Presented at the following event:

6236. Materialities of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

In contrast to physicalist philosophers, who see brain physiology as the essence of individual psychology, philosopher
Thomas Nagel has argued that knowing how people’s brains work gets one no closer to understanding their
experiences than knowing the workings of bats’ eyes allows someone to see as a bat. For Nagel, there is some quality
of mental life—for both the bat and people—for which these physical features do not account. Media research is
seeing its own growing wave of physicalism. Arguments about the physiological impact of media have become
especially seductive in this so-called “digital age” as fMRI and EEG studies of physiological responses to various new
media have seemed to support arguments about how digital technologies are liberating—or destroying—people’s
mental lives. This essay poses to media physicalism variations of Nagel’s philosophical questions, ultimately
considering three ways that we might understand people’s media use: as a matter of experience (media
phenomenology), as a matter of history (media materialism), and as a matter of physiology (media physicalism). This
contrast points to a series of problems with extrapolating from media physicalism to larger social and cultural
questions and suggests the tightly bounded domain in which media physicalism understands individuals’ media use.

7532. Negotiating Parenting in the Age of Ubiquitous Media
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This analysis explores food-related advertising content featured in Parents Magazine, the most popular U.S. parenting
publication. This publication was chosen due to the growing body of research linking parents to the childhood obesity
epidemic and the media as sources of parenting information. All issues of Parents Magazine published in 2009 were
analyzed using a scheme similar to those used in previous analyses of child-targeted TV food advertisements (Kunkel,
McKinley, & Wright, 2009; Warren, Wicks, Wicks, Fosu & Chung, 2008). The results indicated that the types of
food marketed to parents were typically more healthy than the products advertised to children, although there was still
a very high percentage of unhealthy foods advertised. Health and nutrition appeals were the most frequently used
across all types of food products. Although the study provided a broad scope of information about the food-related
advertisements featured in parenting publications, the authors suggest that further research take a closer look at the
messages about food in non-advertising content targeted at parents as well as a more diverse array of parenting
publications.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun D

Past research has found that people are motivated to self-disclose on online social networks to increase popularity,
share information, and enhance their self-presentation. This study examined the purposes, influencing factors, and
outcomes of women’s self-disclosures on Facebook by conducting in-depth interviews with women who self-disclose
on the site. Results indicate that a strong positive outcome is support from others, whereas offline conflict is a main
negative outcome of self-disclosing information on Facebook. Themes from this study also yield that two main
factors influence women’s likelihood of disclosure: fear of judgment from Facebook friends and norms of the
network. Finally, connection and sharing are a major purpose of self-disclosing on Facebook. This study further
highlights the role of online social networks in the lives of women and also brings to light how positive benefits of
self-disclosing on Facebook can be amplified.

The current study examined the effects of private and public delivery of positive and negative feedback on perceptions
of procedural and interactional justice. Although past research found no differences for channel when comparing face-
to-face to e-mail (Author, 2010), current results indicate that differences existed across channel such that private
delivery was viewed as more procedurally and interactionally just than public delivery. Positive feedback was viewed
as more procedurally and interactionally just than negative feedback. The study also examined the differences
between students and working adults by collecting samples of both and comparing the two. No significant difference
between these two groups was found. Results and implications of the findings are discussed in detail.

There has been little effort to study systematically the experiences of ordinary people who find themselves in the
media spotlight. This paper, based on 80 in-depth interviews with “ordinary” people who found themselves named in
newspaper articles in the New York-area and a large southwestern city, focuses on one aspect of their experience: the
reasons they gave for wanting to be in the news in the first place. Findings indicate that, while conventional wisdom
and the limited literature available tend to cast ordinary news subjects as “victims of the press,” they are often quick to
name specific goals they were hoping to accomplish by being named in news stories, as well as social rewards they
anticipated from the experience.

Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This paper considers the role that aesthetics play in messaging and galvanizing support for the Occupy movements
around the United States. Occupy is marked by creative signs that make visible participants' demands and motivations.
However, the signs are not confined to each encampment; they go viral through social media outlets and appear on a
host of personal blogs and web pages and have even sparked "solidarity" sites online that disseminate people's
handwritten stories. Drawing on ethnography and visual communication, this study analyzes the content and
circulation of these Occupy protest signs. It contextualizes the posters in spatial theory, illustrating how the slogans
reflect theses of prominent theoreticians and arguably demonstrate the clarity of protesters' demands. This project also
tests McFarlane's assemblage-dwelling concept by considering the locality of the hand amongst the global distribution
of images and flow of revolutionary ideas. In so doing, this paper challenges the popular notion that this revolutionary
moment is born-digital.

Ethics
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Many public sector organizations use communication tactics that often undermine their strategic ends and compromise
their national interests. Often, they ignore widely held ethics and violate the articulated values on which their nations
were founded. Using ethical pluralism as well as the ethical theories of human rights and justice, I analyze recent
cases of strategic communications by Western, Middle Eastern and South Asian governments to identify key ethical
issues and dilemmas of strategic communication in government contexts. My paper explores how ethical issues in
these contexts are intricately intertwined with epistemics and the political interests of key stakeholders involved in the
issues. I analyze the gaps between key stakeholder values and practices and between the intended and unintended
effects of their communications. I argue for application of ethical theories in the state sectors, showing how strategic
communicative actions in these sectors can avoid ethical conundrums that compromise the public interest.

The current study aims to expand social influence research by investigating the roles of changes in motivation states—
deprived, satiated, and deprived-and-later-satiated uniqueness and belongingness—in the social identification process.
In particular, this study examines how these three states affect the hypothesized social identification and conformity
path model—linking perceived deindividuation/individuation, state need for uniqueness/belongingness, group
identification, and conformity. Results show that deprived-and-later-satiated uniqueness mitigated the compensatory
behavior process linking perceived deindividuation, state need for uniqueness, and reluctance to identify and agree
with others more than fully deprived or fully satiated uniqueness. In contrast, deprived-and-later-satiated
belongingness intensified the compensatory behavior process linking perceived individuation, state need for
belongingness, and willingness to identify and agree with others more than fully deprived or fully satiated
belongingness. The contribution of this study is discussed regarding the investigation of conditions under which the
deindividuation effects are more or less operant during group interactions.

Hampshire

Presented at the following event:

5236. Media Coverage in Asymmetric Conflict: The Interplay of Political, Ethical, and Representational Practices
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

In the 1950s, Western news about Kenya reported the savagery of “Mau Mau” attacks on white settlers, contrasted
with the decency of the British trying to defend civilization. Now, massive evidence suggests that most brutality in
Kenya was committed by the British against the black Kenyans, rather than the other way around. Besides uneven
weaponry, the British and Mau Mau fought in different imagined localities. The British were keenly sensitive to world
opinion and sophisticated in manipulating it through media. The Kenyans were less able to imagine or shape how
people elsewhere viewed their struggle. Having triumphed in the global information war, the British freely slaughtered
fighters and tortured suspected supporters of the rebels. Moral outrage over ongoing white terrorism was never
aroused. This paper will discuss the risks of simple media narratives about “good guys” and “bad guys” and the
potential for gestalt shifts in current asymmetric conflicts, including the Israeli-Palestinian struggle over land and
media narratives.
When Entertainment and Justification Intersect: Analyzing Democratic Functions of Political Talk Shows, Eike Mark
Rinke, U of Mannheim

Presented at the following event:

5221. Political Talk Shows and Entertainment
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun B

Previous research has stressed television’s democratic function as a producer of exposure to opposing political points
of view (Mutz & Martin, 2001). In this paper, I argue that the democratic functions of the political talk shows go
further in that they serve as producers of public political justifications. I begin by describing the significance of this
justificatory function based on contemporary democratic theory and outline a general model of first-order justification
effects (i.e., consequences of mere exposure to a justification). I then tie this model in with several aspects of the
entertainment-orientation of talk shows: How do entertaining features of talk shows (e.g., their “in-your-face”
discourse), entertainment orientations in their audiences (e.g., hedonic and eudaimonic motivations) and the mental
states evoked by them (e.g., arousal, involvement) affect the outcomes of the political justifications they present to
audiences? Future avenues for empirical research into the democratic significance of talk shows are discussed.
When Equal Becomes Less: Social Comparison Framing and Perceived Racial Risk for Skin Cancer, Cabral A
Bigman, Harvard U

Presented at the following event:

5530. Message Features and Segmentation Strategies: Theorizing and Measuring Effects
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

News about health disparities often compares and contrasts health risks faced by different demographic groups. Does
this social comparison affect risk perception? Two online survey experiments with Black and White adults tested
whether social comparison frames – frames in the media that compare groups – affect risk perception for skin cancer,
even when numerical risk information is held constant. A contrast effect was hypothesized – when two racial groups
are compared, the relatively more at-risk group would be seen as even more at-risk and the relatively less at-risk group
would be judged to be even less at risk than if the same risk information had been presented without the comparative
reference group. Social comparison framing lowered perceived skin cancer risk for the less at-risk group. The findings
demonstrate that news about racial health disparities can affect risk perception, underscoring the need for more
research on communication about health disparities.
When Party and Issue Preferences Clash: Selective Exposure and Attitudinal Depolarization, Michael F. Meffert,
Leiden U; Thomas Gschwend, U Mannheim

Presented at the following event:

7235. Choice, Choice, Choice: Understanding Selective Exposure
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Preference-driven selective exposure does not always have to reinforce existing party and issue preferences and lead
to attitudinal polarization. Because voters and parties are unlikely to agree on all issue preferences, selective exposure
at the information selection stage can expose voters to counterattitudinal information. When party and issue
preferences clash, voters are forced to reconcile this mismatch. Instead of polarization, existing preferences can be
weakened. We test these assumptions with data from an information board experiment conducted during two real
election campaigns in Germany. The results suggest that prevalent selective exposure for preferred parties and issues
exists, exposing voters to a mix of consonant and dissonant information, that processing of dissonant,
counterattitudinal information requires additional cognitive resources, and that issue position congruency of
participants and parties affects the extremity of party evaluations and the confidence in vote decisions. Selective
exposure does not always lead to attitudinal reinforcement and polarization.
When Soft News Becomes Applicable: Simultaneous Exposure to Multiple News Sources and Political Perceptions of
Inefficacy, Alienation and Cynicism, Meital Balmas, Hebrew U - Jerusalem

Presented at the following event:

5334. Entertainment, Soft News, and Politics
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This research was designed to assess the possible associations between exposure to soft news (political satire) and
viewers’ political perceptions. Combining survey data and content analysis of the most popular hard and soft news in
Israel, this study shows first, that individuals with high exposure to political satire and low exposure to news perceive
the satirical figures as a faithful representation of politicians to a greater degree than individuals with high exposure to
both satire and news. Second, using mediation models, it was induced that the effect of exposure to political satire on
viewers’ sense of inefficacy, alienation and cynicism about politicians is moderated by the extent to which they
believe that satirical figures represent real Israeli politicians and politics.
When Television Advertisement Overwhelms Viewers: Application of Information Introduced and Physiological
Measures on Television Advertisement Message Processing, Byungho Park, KAIST; Hwanjun Chung, KAIST

Presented at the following event:

5250. Understanding Communication Through Physiological Responses
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

This paper reports the data from an ongoing study that attempts to validate Lang's coding system that indexes the
amount of information included in a video message named Information Introduced (or, I-Squared; see Lang, Bradley,
Park, Shin, and Chung (2006) and Lang, Park, Sanders-Jackson, Wilson, and Wang (2007) for review) by measuring
physiological measures to see if they correlate with other measures (e.g., recognition memory test results). Though
statistical significance was not achieved, heart rate deceleration was in the predicted direction that suggests as
cognitive resources required-to-cognitive resource allocated ratio (operationalized as I-Squared value/Camera
changes, or ii/cc) grows from medium to high, attention level starts to fall, indicative of cognitive overload. A
significant difference in recognition memory supports this interpretation.
Where Does "Strategic Communication" End and "Propaganda" Begin?, John A. Williston, U of Ottawa

Presented at the following event:

8135. State- and Supra-State-Sponsored Strategic Communication I: Theoretical Approaches to Foundations and
Ethics
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Building from Taylor’s (2002) position that “...the free democratic media of any country have become an unreliable
mirror of society, requiring governments to conduct international information campaigns” I suggest there is a need for
propaganda during exceptional circumstances (war, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, etc). This paper will explore
the difference between authoritative propaganda (and the traditional post-World War II unease with the concept) and
democratic propaganda, outlining the need for its use as recognized by Rose (2000), Taylor (2002), and Covello,
(2003). I will frame the presentation within the context of the increasing incidence of natural and man-made disasters
(tsunamis, war, terrorist attacks, earthquakes) to explore propaganda as a subset of strategic communication and how
to assess the common good of the target audience. I will also cover the issue of the politicization of strategic
communication and the responsible use of propaganda.

5524. A New Era of Strategic Communication? How New Insights Into Decision-Making, Data Mining, and
Algorithms Have Changed Persuasion
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

Phorm, a US digital technology firm selling advertising software, promises Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that they
“can play a pivotal role in the $57 billion online advertising market.” Simply by buying and installing Phorm's
products, ISPs can become players in digital advertising by data mining customers' usage and injecting targeted
advertisements based on usage. Phrom is part of a growing industry now selling advanced traffic management
appliances that promise new revenue for ISPs by better rendering the behaviour of their customers, streamlining traffic
into managed streams, and creating new revenue opportunities through behavioural advertising. These appliances
integrate software with the core of networks, affording ISPs greater control of communications, and thereby greater
profits. This paper investigates the features in the code of major traffic management appliances to understand how its
algorithms recognize usage patterns and manipulate flow of Internet traffic. The presentation provides an opportunity
to work through methods to study traffic shaping software and reflect on how the nature of persuasive
communications in an era of intelligent networks. Findings suggest that persuasion is not just cognitive, but also
subliminal as ISPs manipulate speeds and information to ensure optimal responses even though its recipients might be
unaware.
Where in Africa is Malawi? Malawian Experiences of Global Media and Locality, Jonathan Alan Gray, U of
Wisconsin - Madison

Presented at the following event:

7140. Media, Affect, and Publics in Global Contexts
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

Ethnographic research conducted into Malawians’ use of media reveals a pattern wherein Malawians often contrasted
American media to “African” media. “African” was seen as local and familiar, then sometimes criticized relative to
American media for being overly interested in witchcraft and tradition, or sometimes greatly valued for being
traditional. Interestingly, though, due in large part to production and distribution inequities in Africa, the “African”
media in question was frequently Nigerian, Zambian, or South African, not Malawian. My intervention in the
workshop will therefore draw from this research to pose questions about affective experiences of pan-Africanism in
the face of American and Chinese imports, and will inquire into the creation of continental or regional publics in
uneasy tension with and contradistinction from national and tribal publics.

Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Computer-mediated support groups allow numerous individuals to communicate concerns, share resources, and give
support to those in domestic violence situations. However, little research has focused on the actual content and nature
of the messages exchanged within these online communities. To provide a better understanding of these exchanges,
this study focused on Cutrona and Suhr’s (1992) types of social support. A content analysis of approximately 400
postings from three domestic violence online support groups found that while information was the type of support
most likely to be requested, emotional support was most likely to be provided to users. Information support was
provided most often through suggestions or advice. Emotional support was provided through empathy and
understanding. Esteem support was provided through either requesting or providing validation for an individual’s
thoughts or behaviors. Finally, network and tangible support were provided through messages that offered a
willingness to help each other.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

Elements of on-screen motion hold specific meanings and contexts depending on their usage. This study focuses on
how a film viewer interprets lateral motion from left-to-right and from right-to-left. A posttest only experimental
design used previously existing footage from a short film to test movement in one of these two directions. Participants
answered a short questionnaire after watching the sequence and answered items concerning affective and perceptual
evaluations of the sequence. Data were also collected about factors the researchers suspected were possible causes for
the effect, including religion, psychometrics, recall, media use, and handedness. After performing a factor analysis, an
ANOVA showed a significant relationship between viewer evaluations on the Negative Affect factor and the two
experimental conditions, such that right-to-left motion was perceived more negatively. Additionally the study found
no support for explanations by religion, handedness, recall or the psychometric items (except for psychoticism).

8222. Inclusion, Exclusion, Exploitation, and Normalization: Culture, Gender, Race, and the Video Game Industry
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

Based on previous research indicating that character portrayals in video games and other media can influence users’
perceptions of social reality, systematic content analyses have examined demographic trends in the way video game
characters are portrayed. Although these studies have extensively documented character portrayals in traditional
console and computer video games, there is a lack of content analyses examining character portrayals in the very
popular massively multiplayer online game (MMO) genre. Such studies are needed because many characters in
MMOs are customized avatars created by users, which may lead to different trends in character demographics. This
content analysis examined representations of gender and race among 417 unique characters appearing 1,356 times in
20 hours of content generated by five users of four popular commercial MMOs. Characters tended to be
disproportionately male and white, with females and racial minorities appearing much less often. Implications for
user perceptions are discussed.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Femininity and beauty ideals are historically and culturally constructed. The current study examines the role of
advertising in cultivating and accentuating cultural ideals of skin beauty. A content analysis was conducted on skin
beauty advertisements (SBAs) in women’s magazines (local editions Cosmopolitan and Vogue) from China and the
United States. The findings provide evidence for the “white or tan” dichotomy in skin beauty ideals between
contemporary Eastern and Western cultures as how they are reflected and reproduced in SBAs, although the “tan
ideal” in the US was not as apparent as the “white ideal” in China. The study also sheds light on the divergence and
similarity in global advertising strategies (level of localization and standardization in execution elements) within the
two markets. Implications for the globalization of beauty ideals and marketing practices are discussed.
Who Benefits From Twitter? Social Media and Political Competition in the U.S. House of Representatives, Sounman
Hong, Harvard University

Presented at the following event:

5224. Political Discussion in Online Space
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

My findings suggest that politicians with limited offline capability build a more diverse online network, with a higher
share of Twitter followers coming from outside their home state. However, nationally recognized politicians do not
experience a significant change in the diversity of their networks. Combined with evidence that politicians’ Twitter
adoption has a positive impact on donations from outside their home state and no impact on donations from their
home state, it is therefore possible that social media may help build a more diverse online network that benefits less
powerful politicians. Although online networks for top politicians do not match the diversity of their offline networks,
additional evidence suggests that they have the highest number of donation increases from both their home state and
other states. The observed positive impact of Twitter is primarily driven by politicians with the highest number of
Twitter followers. There is no strong evidence that other groups of politicians financially benefit from using social
media.
Who Caused the Crash? Public Opinion and Media Framing of Responsibility for the Housing Crisis, Andrew M.
Daniller, Annenberg School for Communication

Presented at the following event:

5134. Politics in the News, News About Politics
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

This paper uses news coverage of the ongoing crisis in the U.S. housing market to study both the ways in which the
crisis was framed and the potential effects of news framing of economic issues upon consumer sentiment. Results
from a content analysis of newspaper articles describe the frequency with which responsibility for the crisis was
attributed to different categories of actors, primarily “society,” “government actors,” “financial institutions,” and
“ordinary people.” Institutional actors, including representatives of both the government and financial institutions,
prove to be the focus of most news frames. The monthly results of the content analysis are then compared to the
monthly Index of Consumer Sentiment, producing tentative evidence of an inverse relationship between the
proportion of frames attributing responsibility to societal factors and consumer sentiment. The researcher suggests that
experimental methodologies might be employed in future research to better test the nature of this relationship.
Who Is Your Mentor? Applying Self-Determination Theory to Developmental Relationships at Work, Suzanne
Janssen, U of Twente

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

In this study we describe developmental networks at work in terms of fulfillment of individual’s psychological needs,
using self-determination theory. Biographical in-depth interviews with 18 participants representing different career
stages were conducted. Preliminary results show that the adoption of self-determination theory to mentoring and
developmental network literature is valuable. Informal mentorships contribute more to the fulfillment of the protégé’s
needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness than other developers do. Although mentoring literature often
focuses on the competence difference between mentors and protégés, this study adds the fulfillment in autonomy and
relatedness as function of informal mentoring and in that way contributes to mentoring theory.

Presented at the following event:

7620. News Reception Effects Within Broader Frameworks: Cognition and Interpretation
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Deliberative theorists often assume that exposure to oppositional political views leads people to broaden their
knowledge by learning previously unfamiliar information. Although there is evidence for this theorizing in the context
of interpersonal discussion, we do not know if exposure to cross-cutting news coverage has the same effect. We posit
that two basic information processing motives—accuracy goals and directional goals—help to explain why some
people learn from cross-cutting news while others do not. Study 1 uses panel data combined with a content analysis of
television and newspaper coverage. It is shown that only people with high accuracy motivations increase their
awareness for oppositional views when exposed to cross-cutting news. Using the same design, study 2 replicates these
findings in a different context and suggests that those who strive to reach preferred conclusions even decrease their
awareness of oppositional views when confronted with counterattitudinal news.
Who Speaks for the Good of the Organization? How Authority is Negotiated by Stakeholders in a Nonprofit
Undergoing Employee Benefit Cuts, Owen Hanley Lynch, Southern Methodist U; Zachary A. Schaefer, Saint Louis U

Presented at the following event:

7141. Theoretical and Empirical Insights Into the Communicative Constitution of Authority in Nonprofit
Organizations
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

This paper explores the negotiated and contested nature of constituted authority in a nonprofit private school that went
through a fiscal crisis causing the Board to address cuts of the employee benefit package. Our study is based on a full-
year immersion ethnography where the first author was not only a member of the organization, but also the
employee’s representative during the benefit negotiations. During this process, two key nonhuman agents emerged
(became present): for the employees, it was a photocopied picture of a bucket; for the governing board, it was a report
of peer institutions benefit packages. Through a thick description and analysis of this process, we examine how
authority was accomplished (Benoit-Barné & Cooren, 2009); animated (Goffman, 1981; see also Cooren, 2010);
resisted through humor; enacted through ventriloquism (Cooren, 2010); and ultimately part of the contested
coproduction of a nonprofit organization attempting to navigate a crisis.
Who Will Cross the Borders? The Transition of Political Discussion Into the Newly Emerged Venues, Soo Young

Presented at the following event:

5224. Political Discussion in Online Space
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study explores the implications of new technologies with a focus on their role as venues for political
communication. Assuming that the new technologies have substantially expanded the venues for political discussion,
we investigate the transition of citizens’ face-to-face political discussion into the online and mobile-mediated
contexts. With analyses of a representative sample of U.S. adults, this study attempts to explicate the links between
the traditional and newly emerged venues. Our results reveal that significant differences in the transition arise from
variances in citizens’ political interest and age. Moreover, by placing the two individual factors in an integrated
conceptual framework, this study draws attention to the importance of examining the dynamics underlying the
transition of discussion venues.
Who is Retweeted in Times of Political Protest? An Analysis of Characteristics of Top Tweeters and Top Retweeted
Users During the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, Malgorzata Boyraz, Rutgers U; Danielle Catona, Pennsylvania State U;

Presented at the following event:

8224. Political Activity in Online Space
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study analyzed source features of the top 30 tweeters and top 30 retweeted users during the 2011 Egyptian
Revolution. By conducting a content analysis of tweets (N = 600) we find that source characteristics including:
location, media affiliation, longer account duration, and number of followers positively impacted retweetability. No
source content choices such as language intensity, information or URL sharing, or call to action were significant
predictors of retweetability. Since tweets had the same underlying theme i.e. dissent against the prevailing
government, source characteristics differentiated the top tweeters from the top retweeted users.
Who is Watching Me on Facebook? Predicting Teenagers’ Involvement in Privacy-Management Strategies on Social
Network Sites, Michel Walrave, U of Antwerp; Wannes Heirman, U of Antwerp

Presented at the following event:

6132. Issues in the Effects of Media on Youth Development
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This study investigates two privacy-management strategies that can be used by teenagers on social network sites
(SNS): limiting the amount of personal information disclosed and using privacy settings to restrict access to profile
data. Results from an online survey involving 343 respondents (aged 10-19 years) identified the most important
predictors of data disclosure as (in order of importance): (1) peer influence, (2) gender and (3) the perceived
importance of SNS in teenagers lives. Teenagers who are more susceptible to the influence of their peers and who
attributed more importance to SNS in their daily lives were more likely to disclose a greater amount of personal
information. The most important predictors of whether teenagers would apply privacy settings were (1) level of
privacy concern, (2) gender and (3) perceived importance of SNS. Consistent with previous research, girls disclosed
significantly less personal information and restricted more their profile access than boys did.
Whose History? Crossing the Sociotechnical Border, Sandra Braman, U of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

Presented at the following event:

5222. Challenges of Researching on/With Communities of Practice
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

It is by now commonly agreed that large-scale infrastructural systems -- such as the Internet -- are both social and
technical in nature. Though it is critically important to include both perspectives in policy-making, it is rare that those
who think about, plan for, analyze, and evaluate the effects of such infrastructure cross the border between the social
and the technical. This paper will explore the intellectual and personal struggles involved in the effort to cross the
border between the social and the technical in order to conduct NSF-funded research on the ways in which the
computer scientists and electrical engineers responsible for designing the Internet thought about social policy issues --
including implicit social theory -- during the Internet design process. These range from very pragmatic problems to
quite profound questions about who it is who "owns" that history, epistemological claims that can be made based on
the research methods used, Hawthorne effect considerations, scalar and level of analysis matters, and the generation of
new research questions and alternative research agendas as a result of the border-crossing. Because the particular
community of practice that is the subject of this research "creates" our realities rather than "studying it," -- to use
George W. Bush's distinction between what he considered the ineffective "reality-based community" of researchers
and those who make reality -- the paper will conclude by comparing and contrasting problems raised in interactions
with research subjects and with policy-makers for those for whom the goal of the research is to contribute to policy-
making processes.
Whose Man at His Best? A Comparative Study of Masculine Ideals in Esquire Middle East and the American Esquire,

Presented at the following event:

7452-8. Feminist Scholarship Division Interactive Poster Session
Sunday, May 27, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix D

Men’s magazines craft and produce representations of masculinity while also acting as a forum for gender norms to be
circulated, negotiated, and contested. As magazines follow globalization trends of other media, research into how
gender norms are also globalized within their texts is imperative. The purpose of this study is to determine the
difference in masculine ideals between the Esquire “Man at His Best,” as illustrated in recently launched Esquire
Middle East and Esquire’s American publication. This question was researched by using discourse analysis and
constant comparative methodologies to examine the editorial texts. The archetype of the Middle Eastern Man at His
Best particularly stressed the importance of cross-cultural appeal, physical prowess, luxury, and having an interest in
appearance. Noteworthy aspects of the American Man at His Best included him expressing interest in the world of
food and cooking and embracing interpersonal relationships, specifically within the realm of family.

7132. Youth Media Around the World: Communities Creating Communication
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

This presentation will raise three inter-related issues from media social epistemology for discussion that relate to
facilitating processes and assessing youth-made media products created in different communities. First, should we
employ laissez-faire (i.e., participants select own topics) or topic-centered approaches (i. e., media productions build
upon in-depth study of particular topic)? Second, do we challenge participants’ reproduction of conventional
narratives or should we take the time needed to assist them develop alternative narratives? Finally, should we deal
with the social reality challenge; that is, bridge the gap between the understanding and representation of social reality?
Presentation of these issues will draw upon examples from ongoing investigations of three youth-made media
projects: UNICEF One-minute Juniors developed in short workshops; Girls Making Movies – one week summer
camp; and final projects of high school film-media majors.

Presented at the following event:

6228. Follow Me: Twitter in the News-Making Process
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

As information communication technologies (ICTs) advance in their capability to empower audiences in the selection,
consumption, and dissemination of news information, traditional news media may find these tools to challenge
conventional journalistic roles and practices. In light of the widespread adoption and use of the microblogging tool
Twitter, a content analysis was employed to examine the ways this emerging media phenomenon has been presented
across three 24-hour broadcast news channels−CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC between February 2007 and
December 2010. Findings suggest that news stories covering Twitter were more likely to use benefit frames when
discussing the technology, generally highlighting its positive social, communicative, political, and participatory
impact. Stories with benefit frames were also likely to associate Twitter with journalism. Moreover, patterns showed
that the most intense Twitter coverage occurred during crisis situations. Implications for the various frames used in
broadcast media coverage of Twitter and the role of emerging participatory tools in the context of journalism are
discussed.
Why Can’t We Be Friends? Understanding Comedy and Cultural Competence, Omotayo Banjo, U of Cincinnati

Presented at the following event:

7550. Media and Entertainment
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

Comedy amplifies our cultural differences and can do one of two things; it can reinforce stereotypes and naturalize
differences between us or it can make us laugh at our differences and bring us together. Regardless of how audiences
respond, we are constantly processing information about cultural groups from programming even if it is comedic. This
study hopes to explore how comedy that uses racial humor inadvertently teaches viewers about cultural practices and
customs and encourages interest in learning about other cultures. This study also investigates if one’s predisposition
towards racial others via perceived cultural competence or colorblind ideology determines the degree to which racial
programming enables cultural self-efficacy and with what racial group does this most often occur. Findings may
reveal that audiences are sophisticated enough to digest racial humor in without taking offense and learning as a
byproduct. Findings might also help to identify the types of humorous messages that can be seen as offensive or
inappropriate and those that are harmless and educational.
Why Leave Journalism? Women Journalists’ Labor Force Participation in Mainland China and Hong Kong, Haiyan

Presented at the following event:

7142. The News on Gender: Labor, Identity, Health, and Journalism
Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

This paper is motivated by an apparent paradox in the field of women’s labor force participation: on the one hand the
absolute number of women in paid employment is strikingly rising, but on the other hand women still gravitate toward
less skilled and lower paid jobs. It focuses on a particular profession—journalism—as practiced in two Chinese
societies—Mainland China and HK. Based on discourse analysis of 30 in-depth interviews with journalists in two
societies, it tries to reflect upon the theoretical debates around the controversial Lifestyle Preference Theory which
stresses women’s agency in making a choice out of their free will when the society has reached certain level of
affluence. It is found that women journalists in HK, a comparatively richer society, and women journalists in

6541. Hypocrisy, Distortion, Risk, and Materiality: Discourse and Organizing
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

The so-called ‘linguistic turn’ purportedly has allowed scholars to demonstrate why it seems so important to focus on
language, discourse and social interaction when studying organizational phenomena (Deetz, 2003). However, it could
be argued that it also led them to neglect some key aspects of the role material agency plays in organizational
processes (Ashcraft, Kuhn & Cooren, 2009, Pickering, 1995), a negligence that the more recent ‘material turn’ could
be said to be addressing. This paper proposes to show, both theoretically and empirically, that analysts do not actually
need to keep turning in one direction or another, i.e., choose between materiality and discourse, so to speak, but that
they should rather focus on the multiple ways by which various forms of reality (more or less material) come to do
things and even express themselves in a given interaction.

8228. Rethinking Audience Participation: The Role of Users in News Creation
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

News organizations recently began to offer their public an interactive feature to comment on reported topics and
thereby created a new form of ‘reader’ collectivization. The feature allows a sort of ‘annotative reporting’, by
embedding users’ viewpoints, problem definitions or proposals for solution within the article’s context – something
that obviously meets an exorbitant demand. This study examines users’ motivations, but also factors which de-
motivate and constraint the prosperity of reader-communities. By means of an online questionnaire, close to 650
active commenters, ‘passive’ readers, and non-users were asked about their usage respectively their reasons for non-
usage. Data shows that especially cognitive motivations fuel commenting and reading: Users want to express their
opinion and persuade others, but also bring new aspects into discussion. The quality of discourse and the way
discussions are managed affect users’ satisfaction essentially. If news organizations wish for fruitful discussions on
their web sites, they have to work on these two aspects.

This study provides a comprehensive theoretical model to account for the persistent pay inequity between men and
women in public relations. Surveying a random sample of public relations professionals, we shed light on the various
factors giving rise to gendered pay disparity, including gender, professional experience, career specialization, manager
role enactment, and participation in management decision-making. We found that pay inequity exists between male
and female practitioners because of their gender, after controlling for all the other identified influencers. Also, gender
leads to gendered salary differences through professional experience, manager role enactment, participation in
decision-making, and career specialization.
Why do People Trust the News Media? Multilevel Modeling Using World Values Survey Data, Gal Ariely, U of

6120. News Production: Processes and Products
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun A

Media research demonstrates that audience trust in news media is a highly consequential factor, shaping audience
selection of and response to media and potentially impacting citizens’ perceptions of the political system at large.
Still, our knowledge of why some people trust, while others mistrust, the news media is limited. Only a few studies
have utilized a correlational design to explore the predictors of trust in media and almost all of these studies originate
in the US context. The current investigation utilizes data from 44 countries (n = 57,847), collected as part of the
World Values Survey to broaden our understanding of media trust. The aim is twofold: First, to learn about
individual-level factors predicting media trust across contexts. Second, to demonstrate that macro-level factors play a
part in shaping media trust. Political interest, interpersonal trust and exposure to television news and newspapers were
positively correlated with media trust, while education and internet news exposure were negative predictors. On the
macro-level, media trust was higher in less developed countries, and was positively correlated with the share of
government holdings in the television and newspaper markets.

5236. Media Coverage in Asymmetric Conflict: The Interplay of Political, Ethical, and Representational Practices
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

This study is part of an inquiry into the geosophy of journalism: perceptions of place that are situated not simply by
physical circumstances, but by ideological, religious, and aesthetic endowment. It employs the “Global Salience
Meter”—a novel multilingual news-mining technique—for gauging the relative salience of countries in online news in
10 languages, over the past two and a half years. The present paper focuses on the findings concerning Israel and
Palestine. They show that both polities are among the most prominent in the world’s news; in fact, in the “top news”
category, Palestine is the most frequently mentioned entity after the U.S. Existing theory of news value and
international coverage fails to account for these findings. The authors propose instead a series of historical, ethical,
cognitive, and symbolic contexts that would explain the particular resonance of this conflict, its protagonists, and its
venue in the geosophy of news providers and consumers the world over.

Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate how mainstream newspapers in democracies are approaching the
subject matter of freedom of expression via the Internet. In order to examine the possibility that a country’s
governmental stance toward Internet control might influence the position taken by the press, newspaper coverage in
the democratic countries of Britain (The Guardian), France (Le Monde), and Australia (The Sydney Morning Herald)
regarding Internet freedom of expression within the context of events pertaining to the whistle-blowing website
WikiLeaks was examined. To provide a point of contrast, coverage on the same subject matter provided by a
newspaper in China (The China Daily) was also analyzed. Contrary to expectations, the findings showed no signs of
correspondence between a country’s level of Internet control and newspaper coverage of Internet freedom of
expression.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

Wikipedia’s so-called “gender gap” refers to data suggesting that women constitute only 12.64 percent of Wikipedia’s
contributors (Glott & Ghosh, 2010). Wikipedia, “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,” explicitly aims to
provide “free access to the sum of all human knowledge,” according to its founder. The paucity of women contributors
shows that not everyone feels able to contribute; moreover, this gender bias may significantly limit the kind of
“human knowledge” made available. E-mailed interviews with 53 women and men asking about their motivation for
contributing, or not, to Wikipedia English show that a lack of time and expertise keep women and men from becoming
contributors; but more men than women considered contributing in the future. Women already contributing reported a
focus on feminism and gender topics, while men contributors described interest in a wide range of topics.
Will Free Speech Walk the Plank at The Pirate Bay: Proposed Antipiracy Laws and Online Peer-to-Peer Networks,
Sid Bedingfield, U of South Carolina

Presented at the following event:

7638. Copyright, Patents, and Piracy
Sunday, May 27, 4:30 to 5:45pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Concerned about online piracy, Congress is considering new measures designed to crack down on intellectual
property theft. The proposed law would grant the government the power to block the Internet addresses of sites that
are “dedicated to copyright infringement.” The proposal stems in part from the battle against The Pirate Bay, a
notorious peer-to-peer network that flaunts its contempt for intellectual property rights. But the fight over The Pirate
Bay has overshadowed a more important development: the growth of legal peer-to-peer networking as a component of
online social media. This paper argues that peer-to-peer networks, once associated almost exclusively with copyright
theft, have evolved into robust channels for free speech, particularly commercial speech. As such, peer-to-peer
networks that attempt to follow the law deserve protection under the court’s commercial speech doctrine. The
proposed law would deny that protection and pose a serious threat to free speech rights online.

Presented at the following event:

6138. Using New and Old Media to Create Social Change
Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

The uprisings that followed the 2009 elections in Iran generated a debate on the potential for new media to affect
dissent in authoritarian countries. Relying on data from 2,800 young and technologically savvy Iranians, surveyed 2
years after the election, we find that although the Internet was the most important news outlet, state-controlled
television was often used. Also, Twitter was the least prevalent platform used by our sample. Third, politics was often
discussed via new media platforms. Further, it was using new media, not talking politics via these media, that
predicted encountering restricted content online and the belief that new media can empower the citizenry. Inasmuch as
the 2009 uprisings were facilitated by new media, one would expect that educated and technologically savvy Iranian
youth would still use these media for political communication. Our findings may thus support the voices skeptical of
technology’s ability to sustain revolution. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

This paper uses survey methods (N=385) to examine the underlying processes through which U.S. fans create
meaningful relationships with Japanese media characters. Specifically, this project tests an integrated model linking
character perceptions, wishful identification, and parasocial relationships in the context of fans of shōjo, a heroine-
centric genre of Japanese anime. Results from the regression and path analyses suggest that liking a heroine’s pro-
social traits leads to greater wishful identification and more intense parasocial relationships with the ideal heroine.
Theoretical implications for reception studies, intercultural entertainment, and practical implications for role-
modeling effects of positive female characters on young audiences are discussed.

8250. Media Multitasking: Competing Capacities
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix A

A growing number of television users doing other things at the same time may be a problem for the advertising
industry: More and more users do not watch but hear television – and advertising. But on the other hand there may be
a new chance for advertising under conditions of multitasking: Whereas the full-attentive user has to switch the
program or leave the room if he doesn´t want to see ads, the multitasker could concentrate on his parallel activity and
let the program run. A German survey (2010, n=730) answers the question, how the handling of advertising differs
between television use with full attention and multitasking. The hypothesis is tested that avoidance of advertising will
be much lesser under conditions of multitasking. Expectations for program quality and the TV set are compared, too.

Two of the most important human perceptions are space and time. We define ourselves as human beings in a certain
time and space context. These dimensions are being transformed as our experience is mediated by mobile
technologies. But how is this transformation occurring in women’s lives? Are women conquering new spaces that
were traditionally hostile to them? Do mobile phones affect the power regulation and negotiation of a woman’s place?
Although the concepts of space and place have been the object of a long controversial debate there is a growing
acceptance and recognition of their cultural articulation. New technologies have brought new affordances to gendered
places by allowing the building of a unique and individual experience. This research is theoretically grounded in the
more recent feminist debates, identifying cultural representation and discourse as important carriers of the gender
system. The paper will offer a case study of Portuguese women that blends quantitative and qualitative methods in an
interpretative research strategy. The qualitative data was drawn from in-depth interviews analyzed using ideal types
under the method proposed by Marc-Henry Soulet, and following the methodological proposal for an interactive
approach to qualitative research design by Joseph Maxwell. Mobile phones are part of power relationships related to
the presence or invisibility of certain places such as our streets, our homes and our offices. So the space negotiations
are one of the examples of the moving nature of mobile acts. Women’s choices can be an option to conform to the
masculine norm, of abiding “gender scripts”; a form of using femininity as a masque against retaliation or of
disguising power uses of technology that would confront men; or a self-expression of women’s individual
personalities. Once again the mobile phone serves multiple purposes: as a defence mechanism, to legitimate women’s
public presence or to subvert traditional meanings. In some contexts, women present themselves as “space invaders”
(Puwar, 2004), they are conquering spaces that were traditional hostile to them. Women are “nomadic subjects”
(Braidotti, 1994) crossing and invading boundaries and patriarchical heritages. In this the mobile phone is a tool to
challenge the norm. The key findings are that, contrary to a theory of a dominant use for a technology, an
Apparatgeist, as proposed by James Katz, the mobile phone has different roles and affordances depending on
women’s life stages. As embodied objects mobile phones are part of very complex power relationships and if it is true
that women have conquered mobility in many ways, they are still constrained in their achievements by an unbalanced
gendering of space and expectations about their role in society.
Working as Playing? Consumer Labor and the Guild of Online Gaming in China, Lin Zhang, U of Southern California

8222. Inclusion, Exclusion, Exploitation, and Normalization: Culture, Gender, Race, and the Video Game Industry
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The interactive online gaming industry is increasingly bolstered by the bottom-up energy of consumer participation
and innovation. Given the contribution of the gamers made to the industry in terms of revenues and popularity of the
games, it is no longer sufficient to describe them as mere consumer; rather, the discourse of consumer labor proffers a
better framework to understand the change. Compared to guilds in other countries, Chinese guilds are larger in scale,
more formally organized and better integrated into the commercial operation of the Chinese gaming industry. Taking
Chinese online gaming guilds as my subject of study, I argue that the guild serves paradoxically as a unit for
biopolitical control, aiding game companies in channeling and monetizing consumer labor, and as a site of
empowerment and innovation, helping guild gamers valorize their labor while facilitating institutional changes to
accommodate the rise of consumer labor. In discussing their implications, I have situated the dynamic institutional and
subjective transformations in the transition to a Post-Fordist society and the specific context of Chinese cultural and
information industry.

Borders
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Cave Creek

A tragic mismatch exists between the reality of immigration—an epochal transformation of the United States—and
the policies meant to address it. Journalists bear some responsibility for the long, often bitter stalemate over how the
American government and society should respond. This presentation argues that journalists have contributed to both
the policy failure and the popular malaise that ensues. Based on content analysis of media stories dating back to the
1980s, the presentation shows that the increasingly crisis-focused, event-driven nature of journalistic practice has been
especially inadequate to cover such an “oozing” story that develops over time. The media have tended to emphasize
outlying, spectacular stories and often ignored the major driving trends—spotlighting illegal crossers in the Arizona
desert while paying little attention to the needs of the U.S. labor market, for example. One result has been the
polarization of public discourse, which hinders policy compromise.
Written on the Flesh: Embalming as Inscription Medium, Margaret Schwartz, Fordham U

Presented at the following event:

6236. Materialities of Communication
Saturday, May 26, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

In this essay, I argue for a reading of embalming as a mediatizing practice, starting from the premise that despite their
popular figuration, corpses are never merely or essentially material. Corpses are texts in which the processes of
signification and reference are ideologically deployed, marking these bodies as “properly” gendered and classed
referents of a deceased subject. I show that first photography and then embalming were the mediations by which this
process of reference was established and guaranteed. At the same time, the medium of these inscriptions is the flesh
itself, making this ‘text’ incontrovertibly material. How this flesh is made to signify, that is, to stably reference the
person who once inhabited it, is a cultural and thus ideological process.

Algorithms Have Changed Persuasion
Friday, May 25, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This paper traces the development of the industry, practice, and tools of online political advertising over four
presidential election cycles (2000-2012). I reveal how a small network of consultants and staffers has shaped much of
the way that campaigns engage in online advertising. Through open-ended interviews with consultants on six
Democratic presidential campaigns, this paper shows how each cycle has brought about new techniques of online
advertising. In 2000, campaigns purchased banner advertisements on sites such as AOL.com. In 2004, campaigns
began to engage in search engine advertising and piloted much of the data-driven practice of targeting and measuring
returns that is standard today. In 2008, the Obama campaign pioneered more sophisticated forms of online advertising
that went beyond fundraising appeals, developing an in-house program coordinated with fundraising, field, and
communications goals. In 2012, campaigns have begun integrating online data with voter files, expanding their ability
to target communications based on models of voter attitudes and behavior. This paper shows how while campaign
expenditures on online advertising pale in comparison to broadcast advertising, it is a growing area of investment. I
conclude by discussing the implications of online advertising practice for political privacy and democratic processes.

7234. Extended Session: What Do We (Really) Know About Online Political Participation?
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

In the 2008 US Presidential election more than half of the adult population used the Internet to stay informed about
politics. Two perspectives have been put forward on the impact of the Internet on political and civic participation: the
“instrumental” view argues that Internet news use has a direct effect on political and civic participation, and the
“psychological” view argues that the effects of Internet news use depends to an extent on individual’s preexisting
psychological dispositions. Both perspectives were examined using national survey data derived from the 2008
American National Election Studies survey (ANES) and the 2008 National Annenberg Election Survey (NAES). The
results provide support for both direct and contingent effects of Internet news use and suggest that in the modern
media environment the two perspectives complement rather than oppose each other.

I am working with my colleague, Dr. Marion Walton at the University of Cape Town, on a project exploring the
interactions between Public-Access PC use and Mobile Internet use in South Africa. We think the topic is unique and
of particular importance to the ICA/Mobiles community, since it is one of the only efforts we are aware of which
seeks to understand how mobile internet use is situated as a complement to (or substitute for) other forms of shared
access to digital media via telecentres and cybercafés. An earlier write-up of our approach and research questions is
here . The project is part of a multi-year, multi country study funded by the IDRC and the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, exploring the impact of public access to ICTs around the world. Details here
http://www.globalimpactstudy.org and on our sub-project, here http://www.globalimpactstudy.org/in-depth-
studies/mobile-internet/ In our paper, we would combine results from two waves of interviews: (1) interview data
with 36 telecentre/cybercafé/library operators in resource-constrained settings in the Western Cape and (2) survey
data with 290 telecentre and cybercafé users in the same venues. The paper will assess patterns of use for mobile
internet as it links to (and expands) the utility of telecentres – it will explore rules, barriers, and best-practices
surrounding mobile internet use as currently displayed by not-for-profit telecentres and for-profit cybercafés.
Combining the datasets, it will provide a sense of why, if users have the internet in the pocket, on their phones, they
still elect to attend a public access venue. The paper thus has both a practical application (what policies and practices
encourage complementary uses of the mobile and the public PC) and a theoretical side (how do we conceptualize the
mobile internet as an entrant in a communications ecosystem, rather than a standalone artifact?). To match the themes
of the preconference, on community and locative media we can stress the importance of “place” in the post-access
conceptualization of the telecentre.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Alhambra

Public relations practitioners’ constant juggle between life and work remains an understudied topic in our field.
Through surveying a national random sample (N = 820) of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) members, we
further examined the impact of supportive organizational environment on practitioners’ work-life conflict and life-
work conflict and the cost of such conflict as reflected in their income. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses
identified supportive organizational environment as a major positive influencer on practitioners’ conflict between life
and work, more pronounced on work-life conflict. Higher life-work conflict is associated with lower salary yet higher
work-life conflict leads to better pay. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Presented at the following event:

7534. Election Campaign Effects
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale A

The impact of mass media and the Internet on voters’ perception has been a central topic in communication. We tested
the information updating model and the group identification model in the context of the 2008 presidential election.
We show that the Internet reduces perceptual uncertainty about candidates’ issue positions as the information updating
model predicts. However, partisans reinforce their prior beliefs of the opposing party’s candidate policies when they
use the Internet at home, as the group identification model predicts. The polarization effects did not occur when
partisans with the Internet evaluates their favored party’s candidate. Instead, they update information and correct their
misperception. Overall, these results suggest that the further proliferation of new media may contribute to the
selective perception and the polarization of the American voters.

Presented at the following event:

7255. Extended Session: Media Literacy at the Forefront of Instruction
Sunday, May 27, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

This panel presentation discusses the pedagogical impact of YouTube material in teaching students about the role of
media in representations of citizen advocacy and protest. Social media have been used to construct and multiply
chapters of Occupy Wall Street around the world. YouTube in particular has been critical in countering mainstream
media representations of protesters and reportorial framing of Occupy Wall Street’s goals and the responses of
authorities in various Occupy cities. As Occupy protests persisted, mainstream media began to alter their
representations and reporting, partly in response to YouTube posts by Occupy participants and witnesses. Mainstream
media like CNN and The New York Times have used YouTube posts in their reporting. This study uses data from 143
undergraduate students who worked in pairs to complete a research assignment aimed at parsing and understanding
the complexities of the interaction of media, technologies and society, using Occupy Wall Street and its offspring
chapters in the US and Commonwealth Nations, and focusing in particular on the role of YouTube.

The aim of this paper is dual: to offer an empirically supported analysis of the role of the mobile phone as a preferred
communication tool for young Danes, which facilitates exchange and social relations in local social settings, and, on
the basis of this, to provide analytical insights in the processes of change from the mobile as a default tool for
interpersonal communication to an advanced digital platform for communication, information and locative services.
Two main arguments are presented: first that even if the mobile phone technology provides increasingly more
advanced services the mobile as a communication tool maintains its central role as the default medium for personal
communication, not least in youth cultural contexts. Second, that young Danes’ appropriation of advanced mobile
communication technologies take place in an evolutionary process which is rooted in everyday routines and patterns
of social interaction rather than in a revolutionary transformation of communication strategies. The concept mobile
telephone covers a wide variety of technological devices – from the basic portable telephone to the advanced handheld
computer that facilitates numerous functions for information, communication, entertainment, citizen administration,
cross-media exchange, wireless access to the Internet etc.. The mobile telephone anno 2012 is the ultimate tool for all
kinds of communication and the majority of young Danes now has a smart phone which in principle allows them to be
instantly online, connected, informed on the run. The basic practical meaning of the mobile, however, is that it
facilitates instant, accessible, ubiquitous, mobile communication of information and that it does so in relation to
already established relationships. The cultural and social meaning of mobile phones is embedded in a broader cultural
and social context at the level of society as well as at the level of the individual. The mobile telephone is useful in
bridging physical distance and to establish a shared feeling of social and psychological presence. It is obviously also a
useful tool for young danes for establishing new, close relationships and altogether the majority of interactions
belongs to the local, social context. For connections with long distance relationships or for weak connections media
such as social networking sites, twitter, blogs or even e-mail are more common. The article presents findings and
arguments that contribute to an explanation of the predominant use of the mobile in local social settings and with the
expanding uses of the mobile in terms of personal communication through internet based services. The discussion
includes perspectives on communication strategies and on establishment of shared social and intimate spheres plus
aspects of specific aspects of affordances, emergence and historical momentum of the mobile communication
technology. The communicative use of the mobile phone is put into perspective by the very rapidly increased use of
the internet on the mobile phone which in terms of social interactions adds more ways of updating social relations.
Empirically the paper is based on four repeated studies (2004, 2006, 2009, 2011) of young Danes’ uses of and
attitudes towards mobile media; plus repeated surveys on IT students’ interest in advances uses of mobile phones
(2010 , 2011 and 2012). Theoretically the paper draws on theories about appropriation of digital media (Helles,
Haddon, de Souza e Silva); domestication (Haddon and Silverstone); mobile media and cultural and social change
(Ling, Katz, Ito, Baron, Fortunati).

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

The more adults are used to seeing or hearing youth-made media in areas normally considered adult domain, the
smaller the gap will be between youth behavior and adult decision making. This is where community, mainstream
media and university partnerships come in. By increasing legitimacy, professionalizing the work and establishing a
high bar of quality, these partnerships serve as a mediator between youth and adult worlds. Only by shrinking this gap
can young people be a true part of their communities and their experiences be shared in a useful, valuable and
necessary way, specifically as part of the news media. Newspapers are always trying to figure out how to attract
young readers; if they would begin incorporating young people as sources and interviewees in their articles, the
newspapers would be more relatable and authentic information homes for them. Why would you patronize an
establishment that will not admit you exist?
Your Report is Mandated: Third Parties, Sexual Harassment, and Voice in Higher Education, Kate Lockwood Harris,
University of Colorado Boulder

Presented at the following event:

6241. Extended Session: The Research Escalator
Saturday, May 26, 10:30am to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Paradise Valley

Drawing together organizational communication’s concern with voice and research in other disciplines on required
reporting of harassment, I consider the possibilities and problems of mandatory reporting policies in higher education.
In so doing, I grapple with an under-theorized concern: In institutional contexts, in what ways do third parties – those
who neither experience nor perpetrate a given incident of harassment – amplify or diminish others’ voices? As I
consider this question, I adopt a discursive understanding of sexual harassment in order to shift attention away from
individual moments of harassment toward the organizational logics that enable, challenge, and perpetuate harassment.
This discursive approach is consistent with Dougherty and Smythe’s call to conceptualize sexual harassment and other
forms of gendered violence as diffuse practices that permeate organizational cultures. Further, I align myself with
Kirby and Krone’s assertion that mismatches between policies and practices are enacted, negotiated, and reinforced
through discourse.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

My paper’s specific emphasis on the Palestinian and Israeli contexts provides rich analytic insights into how concepts
of participation, citizenship, civil society, and the public sphere are refashioned via young people’s media
engagements. Through the study of the four youth media initiatives in communities in Palestine and Israel, this paper
will point out that media practices continue to play an important role in inculcating and facilitating learning and
education among young people through the process of collaboration. However, with the emergence of new media, the
roles become increasingly complex and multi-faceted. The project shall argue that the new media at the hands of the
young people complicates how ideas of education and pedagogy can respond to both local and broader concerns. This
offers both a challenge and an opportunity for academics to draw insights from global approaches, while remaining
attentive to local, regional, national, and Arab/Jewish contexts and communities.

Sunday, May 27, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto A

Can youth-produced media be used to support in-school learning while also addressing broader goals often associated
with youth media, such as youth and community voice, empowerment, and activism? If so, what is the role of teachers
in the process and what are the training and supports they need to effectively help scaffold young people’s media
work? In this roundtable discussion, the author will draw on ethnographic research she has conducted in a variety of
school communities to address key tensions and opportunities for bringing youth media into school contexts. The
social contexts informing the research have included high poverty schools in California and Florida focused on
integrating youth media into “standards-based” education, as well as school-university partnerships focused on teacher
professional development in media literacy and media arts.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

This paper addresses the debate surrounding the “Dream Act,” examining how class, ideological, cultural, and
generational schisms erode Latina/o political power. Using interview data, it identifies hegemonic factors that have
increased tensions among and between Latinas/os. The author argues that the mainstream media have either ignored
the issue or provided scant and biased coverage of the DREAM Act. For Chicanas/os, proximity to the border allows
for the reinvention and reinterpretation of Mexican culture that have not been available to other immigrant groups
(Campos-Flores, 2001). For other Mexican Americans newly arrived immigrants trigger internalized racist attitudes.
In San Diego, the undocumented community is itself driven by the pull of left-leaning groups who reject the “military
option.” This paper offers suggestions to foster and facilitate dialogue between these various stakeholders.

With Their Community, Hsin-I Cheng, Santa Clara U

Presented at the following event:

8155. Issues Facing Immigrants and Ethnic Minority Members
Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Desert Sky

Communities for immigrants are often viewed as ethnic/racially based and convoluted with one’s nationality in
intercultural communication research. Additionally the strength of their ethnic community and their adaptation cross-
culturally are viewed as an inverse relationship. Through conducting and analyzing in-depth interviews with a group
of Chinese immigrant women workers, the ways they make sense of their Chinatown community and adjustment
process in the U.S. are centralized. Three themes of community as constraints, support, and complexity emerged with
the approach of phenomenology. This essay focuses on the Chinese immigrant women workers’ narratives as they
make sense of their community and adjustment to it. It holds the belief that Chinese women’s constantly negotiation
with historical, social, cultural, and political discourses.

Presented at the following event:

5342. Methodological Interventions: Feminist Frameworks for Analyzing Power and Agency
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: North Mountain

As feminist media studies scholars, we are continually reminded that the traditional approach to textual analysis has
its limitations. These may include the feminization and massification of audiences, as well as the troubling potential to
further silence women’s voices by failing to recognize issues of intersectionality. Drawing on the research of feminist
(media) scholars, we argue that the employment of a feminist methodology is necessary in order to overcome these
limitations. As a feminist intervention to textual analysis, a feminist methodology takes into consideration several
items which are too often dismissed or ignored by the traditional approach. This intervention is comprised of:
improving textual analysis by removing masculinist concepts and challenging existing patriarchal ideologies; paying
attention to the oppression that results from intersectional differences; and by examining and elucidating the various
relationships among the text and a (female) character, the text and a spectator, and the text and a researcher.

Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This narrative historical analysis of Roi Ottley’s international observations of race relations sought to bring visibility
to a relatively unknown black reporter. This paper examines his reporting from 1944 through 1955 for the Pittsburgh
Courier and the Chicago Defender, two prestige black weeklies, and PM, a mainstream newspaper. A review of
Ottley’s recently published autobiography and of 89 articles he wrote found that he was one of the first blacks to
write from abroad for both mainstream and black press and that he effectively balanced the missions of the different
press organs. Ottley maintained objectivity while at the same time highlighting issues pertinent to people of color who
were historically ignored by the mainstream press.

Hong Kong

Presented at the following event:

8238. The State, the Market, and the Media in China
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews with the documentary team within China Central Television
(the state television and the Olympic TV rights holder), the article studies how creativity and constraints are
dialectically factored into the scripting, shooting and post-production of one of the most watched Chinese television
documentary series in the run-up to the Beijing Games ("China and the Olympics"). While narrating a history about
which the general public is under-informed and therefore almost enjoying a clean slate to start from, the creative
makers encountered various forms of constraints ranging from state censorship to organizational politics and resource
distribution. As the article shows, the TV series’ production is a “puzzle-piecing” process whereby obstacles from
multiple sources were dealt with, sometimes constraining, and other times energizing creativity. While offering a
particular Chinese case study of how individual creative makers negotiate, acquiesce to and subvert state censorship
(or the authorities’ “preferred narrative”), it also sheds light on some generalizable lessons on the creative constraints
experienced by media makers in television documentary production.

Presented at the following event:

5140. Gender Politics From Ads to Aesthletics in Contemporary Popular Culture
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This manuscript examines trends in the hypercommercialization of sports – forms that merge media coverage and
representations of sports with advertising texts – and the implications for the cultural circulation of gender
objectification and hegemonic masculinity. Two case studies are examined. The first is ESPN’s “Coors Light Night
Cap” that aired on the sports highlight program SportsCenter from 2003-2005, and amplified the gender ideology in
Coors Light “Twins” advertising campaign at that time. Second is the 2011 “Brut Slap” sponsorship of the national
radio program The Jim Rome Show, analyzing both sponsored messages within the program as well as Facebook
postings by Rome fans. These examples illustrate the movement of not only commercialism and materialism into
what would have formally been non-advertising spaces, but also a rigidly normative and often demeaning gender
ideology moving between content categories as well. Implications for gender ideology and hypercommercialism in a
niche-marketed culture are discussed.

6330. Health Communication High Density Panel Session: Social, Cultural, and Community-Based Contexts of Health
Communication
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen B

Medical errors are prevalent, but physicians commonly lack the training and skills to disclose them to their patient.
Existing research has yielded a set of verbal messages physicians should communicate to during error disclosures to
their patients. However, considering the emotional message content, patients likely derive much of the meaning from
physicians’ nonverbal cues. The purpose of this study was to test the causal effects of nonverbal physician behaviors
on disclosure outcomes. The results evidenced that holding the verbal message content constant, physician nonverbal
involvement was significantly associated with higher patient ratings of closeness, trust, empathy, satisfaction, and
forgiveness, and with lower ratings of emotional distress and avoidance. These associations were not affected by
patient predispositions such as sex, ethnicity, religiosity and previous experiences with medical errors. These findings
imply that nonverbal communication needs to become an important component of future error disclosure training
efforts.

Presented at the following event:

7335. Mapping and Processing the Rhetoric of Image/Texts in News and Advertising
Sunday, May 27, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

Inconsistencies between image and text in visual representations of illness can open spaces of resistant and alternative
modes of expressing illness among competing discourses. In particular, examination of gaps between the indexical
and iconic dimensions of image and text can lead to fruitful understandings of patients’ counter-discourses to
dominant ways of framing illness favored by medical industry discourse. This study examines Facing AIDS 2010, a
visual health campaign designed to overcome stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. The campaign was designed as a
means whereby individuals could participate in the presentation of how HIV/AIDS is represented to the world via
photographs uploaded to a social media site. Close examination of the photographs demonstrates that the Flickr
website is a rich setting through which to examine multiple illness performance strategies. This paper investigates
how campaign images function as verbal/visual montage, demonstrating that visual narratives presented in the
campaign serve incompatible purposes: While functioning to make HIV/AIDS more visible to the public, images
featured in the campaign also speak at cross purposes, presenting conflicting discourses between institutional rhetoric
and perspectives of individuals whose lives are directly affected by HIV/AIDS. This paper concludes with
suggestions for future campaigns.
“Frozen” Media Subsidy Arrangements During Times of Change: A Comparative Analysis of Six Developed
Democracies, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, U of Oxford

Presented at the following event:

5329. Legal, Regulatory, and Policy Challenges of the New Technologies
Friday, May 25, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

In this paper, I analyze the main forms of media subsidy offered in six developed democracies (Finland, France,
Germany, Italy, the UK, and the US). I show how the main forms of state support for media organizations have
remained largely unchanged over the last decade, based primarily on direct support for public service and indirect
support for print newspapers, even as the media systems these organizations operate in have changed dramatically.
These “frozen” media subsidy arrangements are designed for last century’s media systems and are increasingly subject
to what political scientists call “policy drift”, a process by which the effectiveness of a given set of policies change
not because of deliberate reform, but because of changing conditions. I will argue that a combination of industry
lobbying, low levels of political attention, and lack of politically and practically feasible new ideas for media subsidy
help explain the absence of reform.

5251. Interpersonal Conflict
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Phoenix B

Despite the wealth of research on self-presentation in computer-mediated communication (CMC) and its impact on
relational development, very little attention has been paid to how participants in online discussion manage conflict
situations. This case study seeks to address this gap by examining a conflict episode in an existing online community
and exploring how participants’ degree of anonymity affects their engagement as well as their discursive strategies.
With content analysis of a total of 2240 discussion posts by 511 participants, the results indicated that more
anonymous people exhibit higher frequency of positive emotion. In addition, our results showed that the most
anonymous people are also the least active. Other findings and limitations of this study were also discussed.

6328. Probing the "Realities" of Media Bias and its Link to Content and Perceptions
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Ahwatukee B

This study investigated how The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and MSNBC framed President
Obama’s health care legislation in 2009-2010. By employing a framing analysis as a methodology, it was found that
American mainstream media framed Obama’s health care proposal on a partisan and ideological basis. The WSJ and
Fox News’s The O’Reilly Factor consistently mocked Obama’s health care plan as “Obamacare;” while the NYT and
MSNBC’s Countdown with Kieth Olbermann praised it as “health care reform.” In particular, liberal media presented
worldwide globalization as a rationale for supporting Obama’s proposal. In contrast, conservative media denigrated
Obama’s proposal by underestimating the advantages of the universal health care systems of foreign countries (e.g.,
Canada and England). Both conservative and liberal media tried to defame those opponents who did not agree with
their ideological point of view or causes. In essence, the news coverage of Obama’s proposals in 2009-2010 was a
clash of partisan framing between the conservative and liberal media.

Presented at the following event:

7535. Discursive Challenges of Expression in Public Meetings
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper investigates the discursive accomplishments of disagreement and difference in a somewhat unconventional
public meeting. In October 2011, the UW-Madison Short Course Program collaborated with the Interactivity
Foundation (IF), a non-partisan, nonprofit organization, to host a citizen discussion on the future of higher education.
During the event, approximately 25 students, faculty, and community members participated in facilitated small-group
discussions, held over two evening sessions. Participants discussed the contemporary state of higher education and
considered eight different hypothetical policy proposals for addressing one or more problematic education issue.
Using discourse analysis, we examine field notes from the event and transcripts from interviews conducted afterwards
to examine how people express and experience disagreement during the meeting. The analysis uncovers patterns
related to where dissenting opinions appear in the meeting, how groups align themselves vis-à-vis these differing
positions, and the meanings that participants attribute to the expression of differences in public discussions.

Presented at the following event:

5140. Gender Politics From Ads to Aesthletics in Contemporary Popular Culture
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This article analyses how British tabloids represents the relationship between mature British women and younger
Turkish ‘toyboy’ lovers they meet whilst vacationing in Turkey. Employing a combination of thematic, lexical,
narrative and visual analysis, we analyse how the British popular press tries to make sense of many contradicting
social categories and power relations at play in ‘romance tourism’. Like its masculine counterpart sex tourism;
romance tourism involves intimate encounters with exotic ‘Others’, leading to complex interactions of different
inequalities: age, gender, economic position. This case then allows us to study intersectionality, in practice. Our
analysis shows how tabloid newspapers work hard to redress the contradictions inherent in romance tourism. They do
so by constructing coherent normative narratives with clear moral messages. With some interesting exceptions, these
narratives condemn especially the female protagonists who have flaunted gender norms by dating a much younger
man in an economically less powerful position.

Presented at the following event:

5135. Online Political Participation
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

This paper explores the role of social media in the politicization of public debate, with specific focus on the small
state of Singapore, which, paradoxically, is as well known for its highly wired population as it is for its comparably
lower level of online political participation. Against the global backdrop of emerging democratic movements, the May
2011 General Election in Singapore in which an opposition party substantially increased its representation in
parliament has triggered off debates on the role of social media in realizing the surprise win. The study explores the
phenomenon by taking a closer look at the Singaporean political twitterati probing into the process of gradual
democratization of political engagement leading to the growth of a Singaporean public on Twitter. The study focuses
attention on understanding the limited yet important implications of the rise of the political twitterati for liberal
democracy in Singapore.

Monday, May 28, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback B

This chapter argues that the dynamic relationship between gender, the organization of work, and new technology
offers insight into how the US workforce has yielded growing productivity amidst rising unemployment. Drawing on
feminist analyses of office technologies and work, I explore how white-collar masculinity figured as compensation in
Apple’s 1993 launch of the Newton Message Pad. This case study shows how advertisements and other promotional
discourse for Newton, a pen-based “personal digital assistant” (PDA), imagined reengineered workplaces where
masculinized clerical work reinforced the cultural authority of white-collar masculine identity and tried to contain
threats of its marginalization.

Presented at the following event:

7224. Romatic Relationship and Technology
Sunday, May 27, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun E

This study examines the role of online social network services (SNSs) within “real-world” offline romantic
relationships. Through in-depth interviews with adult Facebook users involved in monogamous relationships with
other Facebook users (N = 19), this research explores attitudes about Facebook use within romantic contexts and
perceptions about the potential impact of Facebook use on intimate relationships. Participant responses are
categorized into the following themes: (1) negotiating issues of public and private, (2) Facebook as a source of
tension in romantic relationships, (3) a lack of clearly established boundaries between partners in the online realm,
and (4) the ability of technology to effect change. Findings suggest that although respondents acknowledged that
Facebook-related conflicts between romantic partners do exist, most resisted the idea that there is a causal relationship
between Facebook use and relationship discord.

5131. The Culture of Discourse About Nature
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: South Mountain

In this research, I explored how cultural appropriation manifested in conservation discourses of a speech community
in rural Ecuador. I conducted research in a nature reserve that lies at the intersection of two bio-diversity hotspots (La
Fundación, 2010). I aimed to expand Rogers’s (2006) theory of cultural appropriation to include a process I call
cultural re-orientation. The corpus of data was comprised of public documents, 250 hours of observation, and 14 in-
depth interviews. I applied an interpretive/critical methodology, and used Hymes’s (1986) Ethnography of
communication to generate data. I identified three sub-themes within the larger frame of re-orientation including:
providing alternatives to deforestation, teaching and training the local community, and creating sustainable
relationships between the non-profit organization and local community residents. The primary contributions of this
research included the addition of re-orientation to Rogers’s (2006) theory of cultural appropriation and the
contestation of appropriation as an all or nothing binary.

Presented at the following event:

5129. Health and Risk Information: Sources and Effects
Friday, May 25, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

Researchers often focus on informational style blog posts and source expertise in their examination of the influence of
online health blogs, but research suggests that health blogs are often written in a narrative style. This study examined
how people judge the credibility of narrative messages about weight loss on health blogs by investigating the role of
different source characteristics and message quality on message acceptance. Results indicate that message quality, in
terms of spelling and grammar, is a stronger predictor of acceptance of nutrition advice and perceptions of blogger
credibility than source expertise. Similarity with the blogger was not an important factor in any of the analyses. This
study suggests that source characteristics might not be particularly important in the context of health blogs, and
subsequent research should focus on the message factors of blog posts to assess their influence.

5222. Challenges of Researching on/With Communities of Practice
Friday, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Valley of the Sun C

The original research premise of the Fair Use and Free Speech Project at American University, launched in 2004, was
to investigate the hypothesis that creators constrain their creativity because of their assumptions about what copyright
permits them to do, with the goal of influencing policy by changing behavior. This research question was about what
people do not do, or even do not think about doing, and thus posed particular design challenges. The project has now
released six reports profiling the behaviors of communities of practice when creative choices are influenced by
copyright assumptions. This paper explores how researchers, including teams of graduate students, used the long-
form, open-ended interview and the survey form in combination with close analysis of results to explore the notion of
“imagination foregone” in several communities: documentary filmmakers, communication researchers, journalists and
librarians. The paper discusses the limitations of different methods, techniques for course correction in research
process, and the importance of trust relationships in the research design.

Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

Building on and expanding theories of hybrid and multi-layered identities, this paper examines qualitatively identity
construction and media use in three diasporic families in Austin, Texas. The evidence for the study derives from a
series of multi-generational interviews conducted in 2005-2009 designed to interview Austin immigrant families about
their media use. The paper focuses on the second generation of the immigrant families to further understand how
hybrid and multi-layered identity construction and media use function in those with family ties to a homeland but not
the geographical or media connection of the parents and grandparents. While the parent and grandparent generations
of the families tend to identify most strongly with the home country aspect of their multiple, layered identities, the
youngest generation expresses their identity with inherently hybrid pan-ethnic categories specifically articulated in the
U.S.—in these cases, “Latina” and “Asian.” Their media use is less connected to the homeland.

Saturday, May 26, 9:00 to 10:15am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Maryvale B

The past decade has seen an explosion of new “configurable” cultural forms and practices, such as mashups, remixes
and machinima, enabled by rapidly proliferating global digital network technologies. While these new cultural forms,
which blur the distinctions between traditional production and consumption, have come increasingly into contrast with
the letter of copyright law, people around the globe have been developing their own ethical criteria to distinguish
legitimate and illegitimate configurable practices. In the present article, we share longitudinal data from surveys
fielded in 2006 and 2010, showing that not only have these practices become more prevalent, the ethical frameworks
people employ to make sense of these practices have also become more complex. Finally, we analyze the demographic
profiles of respondents employing each ethical framework, revealing hidden national, class and ethnic distinctions
between the communities that employ these ethical frameworks.

Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Laveen A

The use of the internet in general, and the practice of online health information seeking in particular, is influencing
doctor-patient interactions. The aim of this study is to shed more light on patient’s experiences with physicians
regarding internet use in the context of pregnancy. For this study, I used semi-structured, in-depth interviews with
pregnant women who had utilized the internet during their pregnancy. The results of this study show that despite the
fact that the internet is an extremely popular source of information about pregnancy for the women involved in this
study, communication between the physician and the interviewees regarding the use of the internet for pregnancy-
related information was often perceived by my interviewees as a negative and frustrating experience. Additionally, the
results show that going online to read information about pregnancy is usually not encouraged by physicians.

One of the many challenges facing media companies today is trying to forecast which new communication
technologies audiences will adopt and how they will use them. Although adoption of mobile “smart” phones in the
U.S. lags behind Asia, it is increasingly clear that they will one day be ubiquitous here too (Santos, 2010). Already
smart phone users have demonstrated their ability to document unexpected breaking news by uploading content to
global websites like Flickr, Twitter or YouTube. Using these tools the public received almost immediate evidence of
the shooting of a citizen by a police officer in San Francisco and the emergency landing of an airplane on the Hudson
River, just to name a few prominent examples. Beyond breaking news, it is less clear how mobile technology can
facilitate the interaction and engagement of attendees during an everyday, planned event. This project uses a quasi-
experimental design to explore how a crowd can use mobile phones to report on an organized live event. Funded
through a grant from the Knight Foundation, a group of interdisciplinary faculty and students built a content
management platform that captured texts, tweets and photos from a crowd of over 30,000 people at a university
campus event in May 2011. In addition to being able to monitor content submissions on smart phones, event-goers
were able to view and vote on content submissions as they streamed in on large computer billboards. In the end over
600 people registered to contribute content and over 1,000 unique visitors viewed content either on their phones or a
desktop computer. The types of submissions received are summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1: Event Users and
Contributors. Photos submitted 596 Stories and texts submitted 820 User Text messages submitted 126 Tweets Total
Contributions: 919 In addition to summarizing patterns of mobile phone content contributions, this project analyzes
the qualitative responses provided by both contributors and non-contributors gathered in a post-event survey. This
paper also provides recommendations and key questions for future research, including a discussion of the challenges

“Shopper’s Republic of China”: Orientalism in Neoliberal U.S. News Discourse About China, Zhuo Ban, Purdue U;
Shaunak Sastry, Purdue U

Presented at the following event:

8237. News Discourse and National Image
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

In the light of China’s recent ascent as the world’s second largest economy, this essay critically engages with current
US public discourses around China. In particular, we explore how Orientalist knowledge about China is appropriated
within neoliberal contexts. Our thematic analysis of news reports around China for 2010 in the New York Times led
to three themes: (a) The Shoppers’ Republic of China; (b) China’s responsibility to consume, and (c) China as the
space outside international law. Our critical analysis points toward the relevance of theorizing the interplay between
Orientalism and Neoliberalism in contemporary US mainstream discourses of China.

of Wisconsin-Madison

Presented at the following event:

6340. Fields of Production: Logics and Practices of the Media Industries
Saturday, May 26, 12:00 to 1:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Deer Valley

This paper details former NBC chairman Sylvester “Pat” Weaver’s development in 1957 and 1958 of a new major-
market American television network to be titled the Program Service Network (PSN). Drawing on archival material
and cultural histories of American broadcasting, I show that PSN’s development and failure to materialize negotiate
several discourses and practices prominent within the American television industry in the 1950s, including notions of
the public interest, “high culture” programming and quality audiences, and the changing economics of broadcasting.
Ultimately, this paper argues that while understanding PSN as a “fourth network” hints at lost opportunities for
increased participation in the national broadcasting industries, its history is nevertheless imbued with the economics
and ideologies of the American television industry’s capitalist structure. In spite of Weaver’s contemporaneous
pronouncements about the oppressive three-network structure, the “service” offered by the PSN was more for the
benefit of advertisers than the general public.
“The Republic is Lived With the Face Uncovered”: Framing the Legal Ban on the ‘Burqa’ in France, Shazia Iftkhar, U
of Michigan

Presented at the following event:

7533. Modernity, Citizenship and Difference: Media and the Negotiation of National/Transnational Identities
Sunday, May 27, 3:00 to 4:15pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Encanto B

In April 2011, after a two-year national debate, France banned the "burqa" in French public space, instituting a fine
and/or citizenship classes for women who veiled their faces in public. The debate on the "voile integral," referred to
as the "burqa," justified this ban by portraying veil wearers as oppressed by Islam and Arab patriarchy, irrational,
backward, aggressively religious and a threat to gender equality and human dignity, drawing in part on meanings
established in the 2003-2004 debate on the Muslim headscarf or "voile islamique," which had led to a ban on religious
signs in public schools. This paper examines the debate on the ‘burqa’ in television news and interviews to study its
construction as a growing threat and a symbolic crisis, indeed a moral panic, for the nation. In the debate, rhetoric on
secularism, modern Enlightenment Republican values and cultural citizenship was used to justify the law and set aside
considerations about the constitutionality of the law and rights claims in the name of freedom of practice of religion.
The debate erased the veiled Muslim woman’s personhood and constructed her raced/gendered presence in the nation
as dangerous, alien and influenced by religious obscurantism. Because she was constructed as incapable of or
refusing to accept the values of citizenship, France was “forced” to discipline her and/or protect her from oppression
as well as protect itself by reiterating those core citizenship values, engaging in a pedagogy of citizenship, and
defending public space by passing this law.
“The Shame Games”: Projections of Power, News Framing, and India’s 2010 Commonwealth Games, Suman Mishra,
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Presented at the following event:

8237. News Discourse and National Image
Monday, May 28, 10:30 to 11:45am
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Camelback A

This study explores the relationship between news framing and power by examining the coverage of the 2010
Commonwealth Games in India. The results show the presence of seven prominent news frames in international news
coverage of the Commonwealth Games: game preparedness, responsibility, conflict, stereotypes, achievement,
economic consequences, and social development. A comparison of news reports from developed and developing
countries show a significant difference in frame occurrence. Developed countries significantly differed from
developing countries in raising issues of game preparedness, assigning individual responsibility, and using conflict-
oriented and stereotypical frames. Sensationalism and negative tone were also more prevalent in news articles from
developed countries than from developing countries. The results of the study are discussed in context of globalization,
cultural framing and power.

Based on individual and focus group interviews with managers and employees in three Dutch organizations, this
studies identifies how managers’ and employees’ daily discourses contribute to the determine how work-life policies
are implemented and used. Analyses revealed differences in employees and managers’ resistance to policy, the binds
and dilemmas experienced, and coordinated agreements and actions to complete workloads. In following Kirby ad
Krone (2002), we identify themes persistent across organizations and employee status.
“There’s an App for That”: Mediating the Mobile Moms and the Connected Careerists Through Smartphones and
Networked Individualism, Julie Frizzo-Barker, Simon Fraser U; Peter Chow-White, Simon Fraser U

Presented at the following event:

6536. Media and Caring
Saturday, May 26, 3:15 to 4:30pm
Phoenix Sheraton Downtown Hotel: Estrella

The ubiquitous use of mobile smartphones such as the iPhone, and Internet-based applications commonly known as
“apps,” can be viewed as simultaneously empowering and constraining for women’s experiences and identities due to
their potential to blur the boundaries between public and private spheres. Smartphones both symbolize and produce
social relations, which Wellman, Castells and others discuss in terms of “networked individualism.” Logging, tracking
and digitizing the details of one’s life mobile technology modifies the processes and outcomes of everyday
experiences, gender relations and culture. We conduct in-depth interviews with female iPhone app users to examine
how they use and make meaning with smartphones, social media and popular iPhone apps in order to manage
parenting (using the app “TotalBaby”), fitness (“Nike+”), menstrual cycles (“Fertility Friend”) and daily tasks
(“Evernote”). We apply Wajcman’s technofeminist approach, which suggests that people and artifacts co-evolve, and
technology can facilitate and restrain gender power relations.
