Here, a conceptual definition of adult communicative play is presented, and a theory specifying the conditions and processes that give rise to such occasions is developed. Central to this effort is the conception of “quintessential play” as “ideal code-based (verbal and nonverbal) instances of interpersonal engagement, understanding, and coordination, marked by a sense of novelty and enjoyment, that are understood to count as ‘play’ by the participants themselves.” Experiences of truly quintessential play may be infrequent, but they represent the endpoint of a continuum along which all occasions of play can be seen to fall. The theoretical framework advanced here, then, addresses the role of person factors (e.g., personality traits), relationship factors (e.g., affection, power), dyadic factors (e.g., similarity), contextual factors (e.g., social rules and norms), and properties of interactions themselves, in fostering occasions of quintessential play, and that, by extension, sheds light on instances of failed play (e.g., mean-spirited teasing, bullying).","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"74 1","pages":"297 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77175540","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}

The present study uses expectancy violation theory (EVT) as a guiding framework to examine response expectations among posters of the #MeToo hashtag on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, and the extent to which these expectations were confirmed or violated by observers of the #MeToo hashtag postings online. This investigation is the first of its kind to provide an initial assessment of the effectiveness of the social media component for the #MeToo campaign (i.e., use of the #MeToo hashtag). We analyzed the survey responses for 193 participants (26 posters; 167 observers), asking posters what they expected and received as responses to their #MeToo hashtag posts, and observers about their expected and actual responses to the #MeToo postings of others in their social network. A thematic analysis was performed, and results offered some insights into response expectations for both posters and observers, as well as extent to which expectations were met, and what that means for the #MeToo campaign.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"45 1","pages":"389 - 403"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85932668","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}
