While women have traditionally turned to their doctors, family, and friends, the Internet and mobile devices offer options such as search engines and online pregnancy forums to meet their information needs. Additionally, pregnancy apps provide a convenient new way for women to connect and exchange information. This study explored the Community feature of the Ovia Pregnancy app to understand how, and in what context, anonymous users engage with each other and utilize the app to seek information. A content analysis of posts reveale d users were most likely to share their experiences of pregnancy and/or seek medical information. Users frequently sought reassurance from other Ovia users regarding the normalcy of their pregnancy and affirmations regarding health questions. The affordances of anonymity and accessibility found within the Community feature of Ovia Pregnancy potentially lowered users’ inhibitions to ask seemingly embarrassing health questions and allowed them to receive responses in a timely manner. Future studies should assess women’s motivations for using the Community feature of the app and assess the quality of medical information exchanged.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"26 5 1","pages":"30 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83526549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TST empowers integrated marketing communication efforts of the businesses and enables the audience to experience a unique holistic entertainment. The main purpose of this study is to analyze how TST is adopted to create national media brands by Turkish and Pakistani animation producers comparatively and to investigate how cultural representation is treated in the selected cases – Elif’in Düşleri, Teen Bahadur. The study was designed as a qualitative research of multiple case studies. Multiple media channels across which the story unfolds were examined in detail with the help of illustrations, and a content analysis was made for each production. For both cases, the producers conducted the productions as transmedia projects by converting the story through a national media brand via several media channels. Cultural representation was achieved through local plots, local places, traditions, values, names and people. It’s been observed that the Turkey is ahead of Pakistan with its production of several national cartoon films/series compared to Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"26 1","pages":"498 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75480051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online survey was conducted with 590 Americans during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020). Results indicated that while mainstream media were associated with fear, anxiety, and anger, social media were not. In turn, fear and anxiety were positively associated with risk perception, which increased intentions to wear face masks. Anger was negatively associated with risk perception, which reduced intentions to wear face masks. Mediation analyses revealed that these negative emotions and risk perception mediated the association between mainstream media exposure and intentions to wear face masks. Results provided support for the utility of integrating of the ATF and PMT to predict mask wearing behavior in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"14 1","pages":"467 - 480"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86108662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, attitudes toward online communication have been found concurrently associated with online relational closeness (RC) and problematic preference for online social interactions (POSI). Thus, mixed evidence regarding the effect of online communication attitudes has been found. The present paper aimed at validating online communication attitudes measures and exploring their direct and indirect effect on POSI, via RC. Two studies have been conducted. Study 1 evaluated the psychometric properties of online self-disclosure (OSD) and online social connection (OSC) subscales on a young adult sample (N = 820). Study 2 (N = 588) explored the direct and indirect predictive role of OSD and OSC on POSI via RC. The OSD and OSC subscales showed good internal consistency and reliability providing reliable instruments. Concerning the mediation analyses, the findings showed that both OSD and OSC predicted POSI. RC only partially mediated the relationship between online communication attitudes and POSI. Therefore, the online communication promotes online intimacy but, concurrently, it might represent a risk factor for psychological outcomes, such as POSI. The study provided novel findings concerning CMC and contributes toward the ongoing debate on possible predictors of POSI.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"11 1","pages":"481 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83059001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
