Stakeholders of affirmative action saw that diversity for diversity’s sake was not enough to justify programs and policies at academic institutions. Typically, discussions of policies and classroom inclusion strategies have been driven by faculty and institutions treating students as beneficiaries of these policies and strategies, but they are often not consulted and their perspectives are not included in instruction and policy development. This study explores student communication about diversity because the US is at a cultural-crossroads where racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, gender, and disability diversity are under political pressure. From these voices, we discovered a struggle with defining diversity, conflict over labeling a campus as diverse, minimizing experiences of discrimination and bias, and a need for visible administrative support of diversity and inclusion. The results of this study provide insight into how we can improve communication about diversity on campus and beyond.KEYWORDS: Diversityinclusioncommunicationstudentsinstruction AcknowledgmentsWe acknowledge Mariah Kemp for her contributions to this project.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAmanda ArpAmanda Arp (Ph.D., Iowa State University) is an Assistant Professor of English, Rhetoric & Composition and the Director of the Writing Center at Central Methodist University.

This qualitative study applies narrative theory to investigate how men in caring professions made sense of their career progression and professional identity in occupations composed primarily of women. Data were collected through 30 semi-structured interviews with men currently working in a caring profession. Findings showed men in caring professions constructed their career narratives around 3 major thematic elements: early socialization experiences, gender misplacement, and affirmation of professional identity. These narrative elements provided insight into participants’ choices to remain in the field, perceptions of the work they do, and ability to overcome occupational challenges. Additionally, this study exemplifies the value of coherent and meaningful narratives and advances the discussion in narrative identity literature by combining the concept of professional identity and narrative identity theory.KEYWORDS: Narrative identity theoryprofessional identitycaring workgender Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsBritney N.

Receivers’ perceptions of supportive messages influence the outcomes they experience. This study assessed support receivers’ attributions for the helpful support offered to them on Facebook to understand how their perceptions of the causes of that support may explain why some messages produce more beneficial outcomes than others. Participants (N = 147), who comprised predominantly white, female Facebook users in the United States, identified the most helpful comment on a recent support-seeking post on Facebook, rated the extent to which they made three types of attributions (dispositional, interpersonal, and medium) for the comment, and rated their corresponding emotional improvement. Raters coded the level of verbal person-centeredness (VPC) of each comment. Supportive messages with higher levels of VPC corresponded with more dispositional attributions and fewer medium attributions. Dispositional attributions also explained why the level of VPC of the most helpful comments was positively associated with emotional improvement.KEYWORDS: Supportive communicationattributionsverbal person-centerednessemotional improvementFacebook Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsEmily M.

Through sensemaking, individuals draw on discourses to construct their preferred identities. As an increasing number of American workers seek nontraditional employment, it is integral to examine how individuals interpret and frame dominant and longstanding societal discourses. Adventure workers are a prime example of individuals who align with or push against normative discourses that either reflect or conflict with how they envision their identities. Through 14 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, we discovered tensions adventure workers experience between normative discourses and the adventure worker identity. Adventure workers communicatively reframed ideal worker norms and the real/fake-self dichotomy surrounding consistent availability, conventional measures of success, and sacrificing time and freedom to unsatisfactory work experiences. In doing so, our participants generated a new form of currency – experience – which they used to legitimize the ways they both resisted and perpetuated normative discourses. This work contributes to communication scholarship by illuminating the far-reaching influence of macro discourses in sensemaking and identity construction by extending the notion of the crystallized self and the traditional “work now, life later” ideology.KEYWORDS: Work-life balanceadventure worksensemakingidentityideal worker AcknowledgmentsThe authors are grateful to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Associate Professor Dr. Sarah E.

Drawing from regulatory focus theory, construal level theory, and the linguistic categorization model, this study reveals how the impact of the two messages frames can be influenced by the emotional state of the message recipient. Participants had more favorable attitudes toward charity advertisements, were more likely to donate to a food bank, and placed more value on donating when charity ads highlighted desirable end-states, but only if they were in a positive mood. In a negative mood, participants responded better to charity ads that described how donations could be used to avoid undesirable situations. Analysis showed these effects might occur because people process information differently under the two mood conditions and the two message frames trigger different motivational mind-sets.KEYWORDS: Moodmessage framingcharity advertisingregulatory focus theorypromotion – preventionconstrual level theory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsGeorge AnghelcevGeorge Anghelcev is Professor of Strategic Communication in the Journalism and Strategic Communication Department at Northwestern University in Qatar.Sela SarSela Sar is Professor of Advertising in the Charles H.

Therefore, 36 interviews were conducted (20 with transracially adoptive parents and 16 with non-transracially-adoptive parents) to discover the perceived realism and learning outcomes of three entertainment transracial adoption portrayals. While transracially adoptive parents were generally more inclined to deem the clips realistic, the two groups reported similar elements of realism/unrealism. In line with social cognitive theory, several learning outcomes were reported by both groups of parents in addition to anticipated positive and negative effects of these portrayals.

Nevertheless, because interdisciplinary scholars often have different knowledge areas or methodological training, such collaborations may be less likely to form. In this manuscript, we provide a step toward understanding how interdisciplinary collaborations form within academic contexts. Specifically, we propose a model in which the effect of organizational norms on collaborative outcomes are mediated by departmental norms and motivation, sequentially. To test this model, 197 interdisciplinary faculty members from a large university in the Northeast were surveyed. Overall, the results provide some support for our proposed model, such that if organizations provide structural support and foster an environment that welcomes collaborations, interdisciplinary collaborative relationships will be more likely to form (i.e. faculty members will be increasingly motivated to engage in interdisciplinary research).KEYWORDS: Interdisciplinarycollaborationsnormsmotivationmultilevel Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1. The hypothesized model is unidirectional for model testing purposes, and the chosen direction is based on theoretical considerations (e.g., multilevel theory). Although, this is not to suggest that only one direction is possible (e.g., the reverse causal model is also plausible). This matter is addressed further in the discussion.2. Given the nature of the sample and data collection, it was possible for respondents to choose intra-departmental members as collaborators. If these types of relationships were removed from the analysis, the results and conclusions remained virtually identical. As such, their inclusion or exclusion made no difference in the analysis.3. Preliminary analyses showed that none of the main variables differed significantly when making comparisons between the different departmental groups.4. Because this was a global variable, respondents were not able to report different attendance numbers for workshops, colloquia, etc.5.
