Yet, few studies have examined the role of emotions in sexual orientation self-disclosure. Based on cognitive coming-out message production and emotion theories, we predict that the salience of disclosure goals and relational power are two foundational antecedents to cognitive appraisals of emotions (i.e. disclosure uncertainty and perceived threat of disclosure), which predict anxiety and fear. Emotions then predict the assessment of disclosure efficacy, which in turn predicts degrees of self-disclosure. Results (N = 301 U.S. LGBQ adults) showed that more salient disclosure goals, directly and indirectly, predicted higher degrees of self-disclosure via disclosure uncertainty, anxiety and fear, and disclosure efficacy. Relational power positively predicted degrees of self-disclosure via perceived threat, fear, and disclosure efficacy. Thus, anxiety and fear are an integral part of the underlying mechanisms accounting for the message process of coming out.Keywords: Anxietycoming outemotionfearLGBself-disclosuresexual orientation self-disclosure Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsYachao LiYachao Li (Ph.D., University of Georgia) is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies and the Department of Public Health at The College of New Jersey.

Workplace mental health interventions for first responders are becoming more common. However, systematic research within the field of communication has not typically informed the development of these workplace interventions. The current study conducted interviews with 26 first responders to examine the messages they receive about mental health from their organizations and how those messages affect their support-seeking decisions. Analysis of the interviews revealed that first responders receive inconsistent messages from their departments about whether to seek support for mental health-related problems, creating confusion and distrust.Keywords: First respondersorganizational supportmental healthqualitative Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Author noteThe data in this research study cannot be shared due to IRB requirements and restrictions to help protect the privacy of participants.Additional informationNotes on contributorsErin CrawErin Craw (Ph.D., Chapman University) is an Adjunct Professor at Fairfield University and a Strategic Account Manager for the Public Sector at Youturn Health.

Using grounded practical theory (GPT), I describe the management of attempts at levity as a discourse practice, arguing that it accomplishes relational identity-work in this serious situation by navigating contradicting goals of approval and disapproval. Cox and Koresh’s navigation does relational identity-work by suspending a relational paradox, trusting in the joke, and re-negotiating the limits of levity. These processes suggest challenges to ideals for relationship especially in serious situations expand the boundaries of GPT.Keywords: Action-Implicative Discourse Analysisattempted humor and levityBranch Davidiansgrounded practical theoryrelational identity-workWaco Standoff Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
