การสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์ของรายการเล่าเรื่องราวสยองขวัญ, กฤษฎา ทองมี
การสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์ของรายการเล่าเรื่องราวสยองขวัญ, กฤษฎา ทองมี
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
การวิจัยเชิงปริมาณเรื่อง การสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์ของรายการเล่าเรื่องราวสยองขวัญ มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อสำรวจความคิดเห็นต่อการสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์ (Relationship Marketing Communication) และพฤติกรรมการติดตามและการมีส่วนร่วมของผู้รับฟัง รวมถึงศึกษาความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างปัจจัยเหล่านี้กับลักษณะทางประชากร โดยใช้วิธีวิจัยเชิงสำรวจจากกลุ่มตัวอย่างผู้ติดตามรายการอายุ 18 ปีขึ้นไปจำนวน 400 คน ผลการวิจัยพบว่า ผู้ติดตามรับฟังมีความคิดเห็นต่อการสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์โดยรวมอยู่ในระดับปานกลาง (ค่าเฉลี่ย=3.36) โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในด้าน ความเชื่อใจ (Trust) ได้รับความคิดเห็นในระดับมากสูงสุด (ค่าเฉลี่ย =3.56) ในขณะที่ระดับพฤติกรรมการติดตามและการมีส่วนร่วมโดยรวมกลับอยู่ในระดับน้อย (ค่าเฉลี่ย = 2.45) ซึ่งสะท้อนให้เห็นว่าแม้พฤติกรรมการมีส่วนร่วมทั่วไป (การคอมเมนต์ แชร์) จะอยู่ในระดับปานกลาง แต่พฤติกรรมการเข้าร่วมกิจกรรมเชิงการตลาดที่มีค่าใช้จ่ายกลับอยู่ในระดับน้อยมาก จากการทดสอบสมมติฐานพบว่า ความคิดเห็นต่อการสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์มีความสัมพันธ์สูงกับพฤติกรรมการติดตามและการมีส่วนร่วม แต่เป็นเพียงความสัมพันธ์ในระดับน้อย (ค่าสัมประสิทธิ์สหสัมพันธ์ =0.167) นอกจากนี้ ลักษณะทางประชากรยังมีความแตกต่างอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ โดยกลุ่มผู้ติดตามที่มีอายุแตกต่างกัน มีความคิดเห็นต่อการสื่อสารการตลาดเชิงความสัมพันธ์แตกต่างกัน และผู้ที่มีอาชีพ (ข้าราชการ รัฐวิสาหกิจ) และรายได้ต่อเดือน (10,001–30,000 บาท) แตกต่างกัน มีพฤติกรรมการติดตามและการมีส่วนร่วมแตกต่างกัน ข้อค้นพบนี้ชี้ให้เห็นว่า ผู้ติดตามมีความเชื่อมั่นในเนื้อหาและการสื่อสารของรายการในระดับสูง แต่ความสัมพันธ์ดังกล่าวมีความอ่อนแอในการเปลี่ยนไปสู่การมีส่วนร่วมเชิงธุรกิจที่ต้องใช้ต้นทุน ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่รายการควรพิจารณาเพื่อเพิ่มแรงจูงใจในการเข้าร่วมกิจกรรมที่มีค่าใช้จ่ายในอนาคต

The Perceived Brand Identity, Value, And Expectations Of Philippine Tourism Among Filipino And International Travelers, Ram Cartney Del Rosario Cortez
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study examines the perceived brand identity, perceived value, and overall expectations of Philippines tourism among two key segments—domestic (Filipino) and international (non-Filipino) travelers. The research employed a total of twenty (20) in-depth interviews with 10 participants each for the two segments, and data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Customer-Based Brand Equity Model, Price-Perceived Quality-Value Framework, and Model of Destination Image Formation were the focused theories employed. Findings show a shared core image of the Philippines as a nature-led tropical destination anchored in warm Filipino hospitality for both groups. However, these positive associations are met with conditional expectations—domestic travelers heavily …

I Am Not A Dictator; I Am A Defender: The Rhetoric Of Coup D’État In Francophone Africa, Isaac Asare Kwakye
Theses and Dissertations
This study examines the rhetorical strategies used by coup leaders in Francophone Africa to authorize their actions and garner public support. Focusing on recent military takeovers in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger since 2020, I investigate how coup leaders construct narratives of legitimacy within the context of contemporary geopolitical dynamics. I utilize Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyze speeches by three key coup leaders: Colonel Assimi Goïta, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, and General Abdourahamane Tchiani. My analysis reveals four interconnected rhetorical frameworks: framing interventions as emergency measures, cultivating savior personas, weaponizing anti-colonial grievances, and deploying anti-corruption narratives. A comparative analysis of …

#Mmiw On Instagram: Contemporary Representations Of Missing Indigenous Women, Girls, And Two-Spirit People, Sydney E. Cathcart, Renu Pariyadath
University of South Carolina Upstate Student Research Journal
This research paper overlooks the disproportionate number of missing persons and violence towards Indigenous groups, particularly women. Communication research has pointed to mass media lacking coverage on missing or murdered cases of Indigenous people, contributing to invisibility of the issue and lack of attention to the problem. Individual efforts to increase sources of information have been utilized in social media to make up for where mass media lacks. Social media creators who look to raise awareness, mobilize grassroot actions, and expand community ties.

Through Their Eyes: Investigating The Broad Autism Phenotype In Parents An Exploration In Eye Tracking During A Phonemic Restoration Paradigm In Conjunction With Social Communication Measures, Elena Esposito
Open Access Master's Theses
The Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) refers to traits that resemble those seen in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The BAP traits are more common in first-degree relatives of individuals with ASD which suggests a potential genetic contribution to the disorder. Understanding how these traits manifest in communication remains limited. Previous research has shown differences in eye gaze patterns between children with ASD and neurotypical children. This study explored whether similar patterns exist in parents of children with autism (pASD) during a phonemic restoration task. The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) and Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) were also used in this study …

The Biden-Harris administration implemented a goal to achieve 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030 (US Department of Interior, 2021). The rapid increase in offshore wind activity on the East Coast, combined with NOAA’s declared unusual mortality event in 2016/2017, has sparked a discussion about offshore wind being a potential cause of whale deaths. This paper aims to analyze the discourse on offshore wind and whales through a content analysis of Facebook comments. Facebook pages from Massachusetts (The New England Aquarium), Rhode Island (Rhode Island DEM), New York (The Atlantic Marine Conservation Society), New Jersey (Marine Mammal Stranding Center), …

To Encounter The Other? How Journalists Make Catholic Faith-Based Organizations In Mexico And Russia (In)Visible, Xochiquetzal Luna Morales
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Catholic Faith-Based Organizations (CFBOs) in Mexico and Russia are unique entities of study and comparison to understand the power dynamics between majority/minority institutional religions and their media representation. Although both countries recognize their religious diversity, Catholicism is still the major religion in Mexico, not only because of its large number of adherents but also its significant cultural and political capital. In contrast, in Russia, Catholicism is considered a minority religion and is often viewed as foreign to Russian values and traditions. These conditions influence how CFBOs have been featured in the news media in both countries. However, no single factors …

Exploring The Shadows: How Taylor Swift's Music Embodies Dark Sound As A Popular Music Artist, Kristyn E. Cole
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
To challenge the conceptual matter of “dark sound”, this major research paper centers around the popular music artist, Taylor Swift to demonstrate an overarching feminist wisdom in an alternative style of music to identify how Taylor Swift presents and embodies qualities of “dark sound”. Research done by D. Ferrett, Theodor Adorno, Roland Barthes and Paul C. Jasen are used to examine her popular music, and its intersections and influence on our culture and society. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis, this research paper discusses three of Swift’s songs; “willow” (evermore, 2020) for her sound, All Too Well: The Short …
