Guided by truth-default theory, videotapes of those interviews were examined and coded to better understand how the unusually high degree of accuracy might have been obtained. Eighty-four videotaped interviews of potential cheaters by five professional interrogators were used to develop a coding scheme consisting of 78 potentially relevant behaviors. Consistent with truth-default theory, the experts explored communication motives that might make deceit more likely, sought contextually relevant communication, circled back in questioning with attention to inconsistencies, and persuaded honest confessions. Observed strategies for persuading honesty included pitting the interviewee against their partner, minimizing the act of cheating, normalizing cheating as just human nature, appealing to the interviewee’s character, appealing to the integrity of the research or data, and guilt appeals. The findings are discussed in terms of practical and theoretical implications.KEYWORDS: Confessionsdeception detectionexpertsinterrogationtruth-default theory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigations, The High Value Detainee Interrogation Group [J-FBI-12-196].","PeriodicalId":46274,"journal":{"name":"Southern Communication Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134956924","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}

Based on the study, the authors deduce three patterns of regularities of constructing the narrative of an interactive documentary film: a clear project structure with rationally chosen techniques that complement each other as part of the designer; the choice of a story, whose perception should not be linear and can be formed from independent elements; creation of convenient navigation, intuitive for users, as well as the creation of instructions for a complex project form. Interactive documentary films in this article are compared with video games, with which this direction of documentary science is similar to the user as a coauthor, as well as the use of technology. The article discusses the technology of shooting 360 degrees, which allows the user to “look around”. Considering the growing popularity of streaming channels, and web projects, interactive film has a future in documentary filmmaking. Creating an interactive film requires not only knowledge of technology and multimedia storytelling techniques, but also a solid foundation in perception psychology, and storytelling theory, as well as the ability to study and reinterpret the experiences of video game creators.KEYWORDS: Alternative mediacontent analysisdocumentaryinfotainmentinteractivitynarrative Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46274,"journal":{"name":"Southern Communication Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137433","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}

Results of 358 undergraduate participants demonstrate that romantic beliefs prior to viewing predicted reduced beliefs after viewing a challenge film, and greater enjoyment after viewing an ideal film. Watching in order to learn or be entertained led to stronger romantic beliefs in the ideal condition, whereas watching for entertainment led to more enjoyment and a more positive mood than did watching for other reasons, regardless of the content. Sheer viewing led to stronger romantic beliefs in the ideal condition.Keywords: Experimentmotivations to viewmoviesrelationship beliefsromantic idealsuses and gratifications theory AcknowledgmentsThe author would like to acknowledge Emily O’Connor, Jourdan Thompson, Madison Price, Reed Maday, Carly Greer, Lorraine Dangor, Gregory Johnson, and Jamie Ricklin for their contributions to this project.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46274,"journal":{"name":"Southern Communication Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135743753","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}

I argue that for American psychiatry, blackpain functions as an interminable exigence that ceaselessly reorients and revivifies its biopolitical project of identifying, measuring, and understanding black bodies. Additionally, I examine how these racialized temporal rhetorics aim to constitute the American Psychiatric Association as a legitimate, progressive public health organization in the face of renewed attention to its historical racism.","PeriodicalId":46274,"journal":{"name":"Southern Communication Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82476499","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}
