Insights For Prevention Campaigns: The Power Of Drinking Rituals In The College Student Experience From Freshman To Senior Year, Joyce M. Wolburg Jan 2016

Insights For Prevention Campaigns: The Power Of Drinking Rituals In The College Student Experience From Freshman To Senior Year, Joyce M. Wolburg

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Using a ritual behavior model and in-depth interviews, this qualitative study examined the role of alcohol in the lives of college students as they transitioned from freshmen to senior year. Key differences in the drinking ritual emerged across the four years, and insights were noted in students' use of alcohol to form a community of friends, to find order in their lives, and to transition from ill-at-ease adolescents to confident adults. A key campaign strategy emerged based on students' desire to avoid being the one who drinks the most or the one who drinks the least.

Defining A Medium: The Educational Aspirations For Early Radio, Amanda R. Keeler Jan 2016

Defining A Medium: The Educational Aspirations For Early Radio, Amanda R. Keeler

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This essay examines the attempts by many writers to steer the burgeoning U.S. radio industry towards educational uses and programming in the 1920s. At the same time that commercial radio began to take shape, several competing and seemingly incompatible visions of the airwaves emerged—one of which privileged the use of radio for educational purposes. Using discourse from trade journals, general interest magazines, and newspapers, this article explores the calls for educational programming amid the rapidly expanding and consolidating commercial radio industry.

Chair Support, Faculty Entrepreneurship, And The Teaching Of Statistical Reasoning To Journalism Undergraduates In The United States, Robert J. Griffin, Sharon Dunwoody Jan 2016

Chair Support, Faculty Entrepreneurship, And The Teaching Of Statistical Reasoning To Journalism Undergraduates In The United States, Robert J. Griffin, Sharon Dunwoody

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Statistical reasoning is not the same as doing calculations. Instead, it involves cognitive skills such as the ability to think critically and systematically with data, skills important for everyday news work and essential for the era of data journalism. Twin surveys of the chairs of undergraduate journalism programs in the United States, conducted 11 years apart, revealed that those who perceived benefits from statistical reasoning instruction were more likely to reward entrepreneurship (faculty attempts to integrate this instruction into their classes), but with slow gains over time in the fairly small number of such faculty. Being consistent with university goals …

Farmed And Dangerous? A Case Study Of Chipotle’S Branded Entertainment Series And Polarized Reactions To Its Satirical Depiction Of Farming And Agribusiness, Nathan Gilkerson, Rebecca Swenson, Betsy Anderson Jan 2016

Farmed And Dangerous? A Case Study Of Chipotle’S Branded Entertainment Series And Polarized Reactions To Its Satirical Depiction Of Farming And Agribusiness, Nathan Gilkerson, Rebecca Swenson, Betsy Anderson

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This study follows Chipotle’s innovative strategy of using branded entertainment and satire to enhance its brand image and positive consumer perceptions, while negatively portraying an entire industry. The study explores audience reactions to Chipotle’s satirical Farmed and Dangerous program, part of the company’s broader “Food with Integrity” campaign. Increasing agricultural literacy and understanding among the general public is a priority (Doerfert, 2011). Yet marketing communication campaigns—and responses or reactions to those campaigns—that simplify issues into distinct “sides,” or focus on attacks, prevent deep discussion of the complexity of our food system and efforts to collaborate on solutions. Research presented uses …


Sound Recognition Of Historical Visibility: The Radio Preservation Task Force Of The Library Of Congress: Introduction, Josh Shepperd, Amanda R. Keeler, Chris Sterling Jan 2016

Sound Recognition Of Historical Visibility: The Radio Preservation Task Force Of The Library Of Congress: Introduction, Josh Shepperd, Amanda R. Keeler, Chris Sterling

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This issue of Journal of Radio & Audio Media serves as a gesture toward increasing attention to many untold cultural sound histories. The “question” of radio preservation, we’re just coming to realize, closely equates to our responsibility to identify gaps within our historical record, as those gaps are delineated along race, class, orientation, and gendered lines. Sound preservation turns out to be one strategy for how to reconcile failures of recognition. It’s widely accepted that a historian must not project a different meaning upon historical materials than its author intended. Yet at the same time historians might now play the …


"The Birth Control Divide": U. S. Press Coverage Of Contraception, 1873-2013, Ana C. Garner, Angela Michel Jan 2016

"The Birth Control Divide": U. S. Press Coverage Of Contraception, 1873-2013, Ana C. Garner, Angela Michel

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

For more than 140 years, religious, medical, legislative, and legal institutions have contested the issue of contraception. In this conversation, predominantly male voices have attached reproductive rights to tangential moral and political matters, revealing an ongoing, systematic attempt to regulate human bodies, especially those of women. This analysis of 1873-2013 press coverage of contraception in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune shows a division between institutional ideology and real-life experience; women’s reproductive rights are negotiable. Although journalists often reported that contraception was a factor in the everyday life of women and men, …


Old New Media: Closed-Circuit Television And The Classroom, Amanda R. Keeler Jan 2016

Old New Media: Closed-Circuit Television And The Classroom, Amanda R. Keeler

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This article explores closed-circuit television (CCTV) and its ‘bright promise stage’, as it was contemplated, marketed, and implemented as a low-cost classroom tool. After the Federal Communications Commission issued the 1952 Sixth Report and Order, many schools and communities sought to bring educational television to the classroom. However, this model was financially out of reach for most. CCTV was a more affordable version of educational television that could cater to specific classroom needs and allow schools to create their own in-house network. CCTV represents just one of many new technologies that have been promoted as ideal for classroom instruction over …

Thinking Pink? Consumer Reactions To Pink Ribbons And Vague Messages In Advertising, Kim Bartel Sheehan, Kati Tusinski Berg

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Many brands partner with causes in their advertising campaigns. Consumers appreciate that the brands they purchase participate in activities that contribute to a society’s well-being. This study uses copy-testing techniques to evaluate the number and types of thoughts and brand attitudes in the presence and absence of cause-related messages. Individuals saw an ad for one of two products. None of the ads stated the brand’s financial support to the cause, which is representative of many messages today. People viewing the Dansko ads with the pink ribbon generated significantly fewer thoughts than those viewing the ad without the pink ribbon. For …

Understanding Publics’ Perception And Behaviors In Crisis Communication: Effects Of Crisis News Framing And Publics’ Acquisition, Selection, And Transmission Of Information In Crisis Situations, Young Kim Nov 2015

Understanding Publics’ Perception And Behaviors In Crisis Communication: Effects Of Crisis News Framing And Publics’ Acquisition, Selection, And Transmission Of Information In Crisis Situations, Young Kim

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This study aims to better understand publics’ perception and communicative behaviors in crisis communication. The extant research has overlooked how framing factors and different publics’ communicative behaviors directly influence crisis outcomes, including reputation and behavioral intentions. An online experiment with 1,113 participants was conducted to fill the gap. The findings demonstrated that preventable crisis news framing was a strong negative predictor for crisis outcomes. Another finding based on Communicative Action in Problem Solving (CAPS) in Situational Theory of Problem Solving (STOPS) revealed that information attending, forwarding, and seeking are positively associated with reputation and behavioral intentions.


Toward An Effective Government–Public Relationship: Organization–Public Relationship Based On A Synthetic Approach To Public Segmentation, Young Kim Nov 2015

Toward An Effective Government–Public Relationship: Organization–Public Relationship Based On A Synthetic Approach To Public Segmentation, Young Kim

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

The goal of this study is to identify and understand an effective government–public relationship building based on a synthetic approach to public segmentation. Using a national survey dataset, this study examines how different types of publics have trust differently in federal, state, and local government. By exploring how situational and cross-situational variables predict trust in government, the study finds that there are different predictors for trust in each level of government. Further, the results provide important insight into how public relations practitioners and researchers can build and maintain an effective government–public relationship with the key publics. Thus, the current study …

Testing Links Among Uncertainty, Affect And Attitude Toward A Health Behavior In A Risky Setting, Robert J. Griffin, Timothy K.F. Fung, Sharon Dunwoody Aug 2015

Testing Links Among Uncertainty, Affect And Attitude Toward A Health Behavior In A Risky Setting, Robert J. Griffin, Timothy K.F. Fung, Sharon Dunwoody

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

The relationship between uncertainty and emotional reactions to risk has been explored in only a cursory fashion to date. This study seeks to remedy that by examining linkages between uncertainty judgment and such affective reactions as worry and anger within the context of an environmental health risk. It uses data from a longitudinal study of people’s reactions to the risks of eating contaminated fish from the Great Lakes, which employed the Risk Information Seeking and Processing model proposed by Griffin, Dunwoody and Neuwirth (1999) and, in the process, seeks to test the expanded model, which includes behavioral intentions. Findings supported …


Risk Information Seeking And Processing About Hpv Among Chinese Female Students In The United States, Shiyao Li Jul 2015

Risk Information Seeking And Processing About Hpv Among Chinese Female Students In The United States, Shiyao Li

Master's Theses (2009 -)

The present study aims to examine the information seeking and processing behaviors about Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) among Chinese female college students in the United States. HPV is the most prevalent sexually transmitted virus in the United States and all around the world. It is closely associated with cervical cancer, which is a major cause of death among women in developing countries. However, knowledge of the virus among women worldwide remains at low level despite of its severity and prevalence. Due to the fact that HPV vaccine is still going under clinical trials in China, the Chinese student body in the …


Openness To The "Other" During A Summer Language Study Abroad In Madrid, Spain: Six Case Studies, Samuel Cox Jul 2015

Openness To The "Other" During A Summer Language Study Abroad In Madrid, Spain: Six Case Studies, Samuel Cox

Dissertations (1934 -)

The purpose of this study was to explore the interaction of summer language study abroad students in Madrid, Spain, with a cultural and linguistic "Other," and to examine the resulting evolution in those participants' openness to that Other. Gordon Allport's four optimal conditions for prejudice reduction in intergroup contact theory provided the framework for this analysis. The student in a language study abroad context is both a linguistic and cultural minority, an experience manifested in multiple daily interactions that potentially affect openness to the linguistic and cultural Other. As such, qualitative data were drawn from six participants via interviews during …

Youtube, Social Norms And Perceived Salience Of Climate Change In The American Mind, James T. Spartz, Leona Yi-Fan Su, Robert J. Griffin, Dominique Brossard, Sharon Dunwoody

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This online experiment explored how contextual information embedded in new media channels such as YouTube may serve as normative social cues to users. Specifically, we examined whether the number of views listed under a YouTube video about climate change would elicit inferences regarding how “others” feel about the climate issue and, consequently, might influence perceptions of issue salience. Participants in this experiment were exposed to a YouTube video about climate change using two experimental conditions, one providing a small number of views under the video and the second listing a large number of views. Results suggest that the “number of …

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Social media has become a regular direct marketing component for sports teams. This study explores the link between team identification and use of a professional sports team’s social-media channels. Questions to answer include, Does social media impact identification fans have with a team or vice versa? What does the amount of social-media use do to impact the relationship? Does this activity lead to increased sales of tickets and merchandise? Data collected by an Internet survey of fans of a professional baseball team show a positive relationship between team identification and use of the team’s Facebook page as well as to …
