One example is how collaborative intergroup play can reduce prejudice between groups. However, this literature is at a nascent stage, and many of the intricacies of such a mechanism are unknown. Previous work has predominantly used attitude scales and ignored other measures. Factors such as the role of the opponent in games and what may be the mechanism behind any effects has likewise received little attention. In this laboratory study, participants played collaborative games with an outgroup member, or alone. Their opponent was also reported to be computer-controlled, or controlled by another person. Following play, intergroup anxiety was reported, and participants wrote a short passage of prose regarding the outgroup as well as rating on attitude scales. Analysis demonstrated that playing with outgroup members was indeed an effective method of increase the positivity towards outgroup members, reflected in both scale and prose measures. Anxiety was also found to be a significant mediator; however it was less clear whether a human opponent moderated any effects. Further ideas of how these findings could be developed are then discussed.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57305909","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}

Lewis","doi":"10.1037/ppm0000119","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000119","url":null,"abstract":"Since introduced in the mid-2000s, smartphones have become widely used, particularly among young adults. With the ability to connect to others across numerous modalities and occupy one’s time, these devices have become personal extensions for many people. However, recent research suggests that young people are particularly likely to find these devices indispensable, even to the point of feeling that they cannot live without them. The current study tests whether smartphone use and smartphone dependency affects the health of romantic relationships among college-aged adults. Participants were asked to report on their own smartphone use and dependency as well as the perceived use and dependency of their partner. Results reveal that participants’ smartphone dependency is significantly linked to relationship uncertainty, while partners’ perceived smartphone dependency predicts less relationship satisfaction. Moreover, results suggest that smartphone use, in general, does not affect relational health. Thus, it appears that it is the psychological reliance on these devices, and one’s need to constantly be connected with his or her smartphone, that potentially affects relationships and not actual use.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"384–398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42735848","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}

Chinese gay virtual communities first emerged on scattered Websites (e.g., blogs and chat rooms) but now lie on Facebook, which provides a place to post a profile (e.g., photo and basic information), a personal display space (e.g., pictures), and an array of interactive methods (e.g., “likes” and comments). Further, cultural beliefs affect the development of the community. Confucianism and collectivism have most contributions on the homophobia within Chinese societies and the nondiverse value systems within the Chinese gay Facebook community. Based on the theoretical framework of social learning theory, this study explored gay users’ reinforcing behaviors on Facebook. The 15 gay male participants included 12 Taiwanese, 2 Hong Kong residents, and 1 Mainland Chinese who had used Facebook on average 4.2 years. All attended semistructured interviews 40–60 min in length for phenomenological analysis. The results revealed 4 themes: (a) Participants created different accounts to separate gay and nongay friends; (b) Participants used “gaydar” to connect with new gay friends; (c) Self-promotion increased their friends and followers; and (d) The more “likes” they received, the more benefits they obtained. The results offer a new lens for rethinking the population’s interaction and various needs, although they cannot fully apply it for Mainland Chinese and Chinese American gay male users.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"289–296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46847181","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}

SMs anonymously completed a survey about FB use during their current deployment. Data were collected on FB network size, time spent on FB, FB use integration and emotional connection (via the Social Media Use and Integration Scale), maladaptive FB use (via the Maladaptive Facebook Use Scale), and perceived social support (via the Social Provisions Scale). The majority of SMs had FB accounts (81%, n = 135), which they used during deployment. FB use integration and emotional connection was positively associated with perceived social support, whereas maladaptive FB use and time spent on FB were negatively associated with perceived social support. Non-FB users were more highly educated, higher in rank, and older compared to FB users. FB integration into users’ social routines and users’ emotional connection to FB may help increase positive perceptions of social support among deployed SMs. Education on the constructive use of FB during deployment may be useful in enhancing perceived social support and reducing maladaptive FB use.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"297–307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43062289","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 selfies have been observed in relation to narcissism and self-promoting behaviors, little is know about their technology usage and its implications. The present research adopted a uses and gratifications approach and utilized an online survey of Millennials (N = 205) to extract selfie-takers’ activities, as well as their connections to positive effects, such as digital literacy and self-enhancement. Participants uploaded their “best” selfie to the survey and answered a series of questions about their selfie-related attitudes and behaviors. Participants’ best selfies were content analyzed to examine features of these photos, and the relationships between selfie practices, motivations, and digital literacy engagement were examined. Results indicated that selfies are considered as meaningful content, as selfie-takers were mostly motivated to produce selfies to capture memorable moments. Selfies were also created using both nondigital and digital techniques, which can exhibit selfie-takers’ digital literacy skills and confidence in using technology. Lastly, selfie-takers were motivated to engage in further media production. Implications of the findings are discussed in terms of selfies’ educational value.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"345–360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43917167","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}

Through the framework of objectification theory, we examined the relation of involvement on Facebook to women’s internalization of appearance ideals, psychological well-being, and their intentions to make online purchases. Participants were 796 female college students who completed online measures regarding internalization, sources of beauty information, social comparisons, body satisfaction, self-esteem, purchases referrals, and purchase intentions. Using structural equation modeling, we found that passive Facebook usage influenced the women’s internalization of societal beauty ideals, which was related inversely to the women’s satisfaction with their bodies and self-esteem. Active Facebook usage had direct effects on attention to friends’ referrals and purchase behaviors. Purchase intentions also were influenced by referrals, the importance they placed on social media outlets as sources of information about fashion and appearance, and a more positive self-image. Findings suggest that women’s intentions to make online purchases are determined through their involvement in social media, their friendship connections, and the extent to which their self-perceptions have been affected by sociocultural processes.","PeriodicalId":46995,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media Culture","volume":"7 1","pages":"328–344"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49606790","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}
