Print, digital, and broadcast journalism serve as units of observation for understanding how the women senators cultivated a shared political image imbued with conventionally-defined “feminine” leadership qualities that linked to bipartisanship. Drawing on their mediated perspectives, I argue that the women of the 113th Senate’s portrayal of feminine leadership traits contributed to the conventional wisdom that women are bipartisan. My analysis indicates that, during a time of rancorous partisanship, the women senators’ public discussion of a sisterhood, a supper club, and communication norms advanced the appearance of being a united force while seeking policy goals in a partisan chamber. By analyzing mediated texts that featured the women in the 113th Senate, I demonstrate how women policymakers collectively depict a legislative style that can become a tool for harnessing power in numbers and maximizing political influence as women while navigating a gendered and partisan space. The contributing factors discussed serve as an entry point for critical inquiry into bipartisan image construction.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"115 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91178451","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}

While both Kevlar and flak are deployed on contentious grounds, flak goes on the attack against ideological opponents whereas discursive Kevlar assumes a posture of defense. Kevlar is also distinct from media management strategies that coopt news media and create a Teflon coating around an administration. A case study of National Review’s coverage of the first Trump impeachment maps out Kevlar tendencies. The investigation analyzes the array of Trump-affirming defenses that National Review marshaled during the impeachment. Despite its rarefied reputation, National Review’s discourses were saturated with punditry that refused considered analysis; exceptions to the rule of Kevlar on behalf of Trump are also discussed. National Review’s Kevlar campaign included pervasive attempts to delegitimize the Democratic Party, beginning with vagueness that glossed over the proximal cause of impeachment: Trump’s extortive shakedown of Ukraine’s government over congressionally-certified funds in an effort to seed news narratives favorable to Trump’s 2020 campaign. National Review constructed further Kevlar defenses through “whataboutism” toward Democrats while the publication’s misgivings about Trump were tempered by “confirming criticisms.” One implication is that Trump’s illiberal political project has been immeasurably assisted by elite (“tree-tops”) rightwing platforms.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"20 1","pages":"97 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89900253","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 sought to address the question of the role of attachment style in affecting online behavior, as well as to better understand the way in which specific dimensions of online interaction may correspond to specific attachment styles. The study explored attachment style, particularly anxious and avoidant attachment, in predicting problematic internet use, online intimate self-disclosure, and positive and negative attitudes toward technology in a sample of young adults aged 18–25. A quantitative approach employing correlations, regressions, and ANOVAs was used. It was found that both anxious and avoidant attachments were positively related to and both predicted problematic internet use. Although neither anxious or avoidant attachment style predicted online intimate disclosure, preoccupied individuals were found to disclose significantly more online than fearful individuals. Both anxiety and avoidance positively related to negative attitudes toward technology, with avoidant attachment style significantly predicting it, while only anxious attachment predicted positive attitudes toward technology.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"4 1","pages":"130 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81282175","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 current study explores the consequences of back burner communication on relationship commitment and personal stress. Moreover, early back burner studies relied primarily on college student samples; it is unknown whether these findings generalize to older adults. We examined the relationships among digital communication with back burners, relationship commitment, and stress, using a sample of non-collegiate adults (N = 263). Consistent with earlier research, the majority reported having at least one back burner. Also, number of back burners correlated negatively with commitment. However, only number of back burners predicted commitment when considered alongside frequency of sexual communication and frequency of stating one’s future intentions. Social media infidelity-related behaviors mediated the relationship between number of back burners and stress. Findings have implications for relational and personal well-being.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"47 1","pages":"52 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84211318","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}

This study used simple random sampling (N = 1,773) to examine information-seeking behaviors and the credibility of COVID-19 information among college students. The study further examined the association between the Health Belief Model (HBM), perceived threat, and the credibility of COVID-19 information. Results revealed the most and least likely communication channels students used to access COVID-19 information and the credibility of each channel. Students first went to public health authorities’ communication channels and sources for information. Traditional media channels ranked low in usage. Public health authorities ranked high in credibility, and the credibility of sources predicted a slight increase in the HBM and the perceived threat mean scores. Findings should help college administrators better communicate critical health information to students during a health crisis.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"54 1","pages":"549 - 569"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82841279","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}

Although achieving herd immunity through vaccinations is the greatest hope for ending the pandemic, the COVID-19 vaccination effort has been plagued by misinformation and mistrust. Given the urgency to vaccinate the population, public health officials must construct messages that encourage individuals to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine. The current study examines the impact of linguistic assignment of agency on an individual’s desire to get vaccinated. Guided by the EPPM, participants (N= 296) were randomly assigned to receive either a virus agentic message or a human agentic message. The researchers discovered that the virus agentic message resulted in a greater intention to obtain the vaccine. Further, participants who received the virus agentic message reported a stronger sense of perceived self-efficacy and perceived susceptibility. Additionally, participants who perceived the societal reaction to the pandemic to be appropriate, as well as those who knew at least one person who had died from the virus, were more likely to express an intention to get vaccinated.","PeriodicalId":45354,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Journal of Communication","volume":"49 1","pages":"535 - 548"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80759352","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}
