Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study uses Buzzanell’s (2018) communication theory of resilience (CTR) to explore the triggers that HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) report experiencing and their communicative responses to those triggers. Analysis of posts from 39 members of an HIV-positive online forum reveals that members experienced CTR's four resilience triggers, with some triggers co-occurring. Members shared using four communication processes related to resilience, overlapping in two forms. As members’ use and creation of communication networks was a common denominator of the two co-occurring communication processes, creating opportunities and safe spaces for MSM to network, communicate, and foster social support with others (such as via the forum examined in this research) are imperative, especially for those living in more intolerant social environments.

生活被中断，而不是中断:POZ.com网站上男男性行为的艾滋病病毒感染者的在线叙述揭示了触发因素和有弹性的沟通过程

本研究采用Buzzanell(2018)的沟通弹性理论(CTR)来探讨hiv阳性男男性行为者(MSM)报告经历的触发因素及其对这些触发因素的沟通反应。对39名艾滋病毒阳性在线论坛成员帖子的分析显示，成员经历了CTR的四种恢复力触发因素，其中一些触发因素同时发生。成员分享了四种与弹性相关的沟通过程，以两种形式重叠。由于成员使用和创建通信网络是两种共同发生的通信过程的共同特征，因此为MSM创造机会和安全空间以建立网络，通信和促进与其他人的社会支持(例如通过本研究中检查的论坛)是必不可少的，特别是对于那些生活在更不宽容的社会环境中的人。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
