To test the CETESM and other supportive communication theories, researchers have conducted experiments employing trained confederates who provide supportive messages of varying quality to naïve disclosers. Manipulation checks of confederate fidelity to conditions are typically conducted at the level of the entire conversation. However, conversation-level checks fail to provide critical information about what happens in interactants’ turns at talk. The present report reanalyzes data from a study framed by the CETESM in which confederates were trained to enact four esteem support message styles when interacting with a naïve discloser. Engaging in turn-based coding and employing analytical techniques such as configural frequency analysis (CFA), we test hypotheses and research questions regarding: (1) how confederate turns correspond to their assigned condition; (2) the nature of discloser turns in esteem support interactions with confederates; (3) the nature of discloser-to-confederate turn transitions; and (4) discloser-to-confederate turn transitions associated with key outcomes for disclosers. Results indicate that while many confederate turns were consistent with their assigned condition, interesting deviations occurred in response to discloser turns, some of which were linked to outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45764477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding to an evolving discussion on automated frame identification, we systematically contrast different machine-learning approaches with a manually coded gold standard to shed light on the implications of using one or the other: (1) topic modeling, (2) keyword-assisted topic modeling (keyATM), and (3) supervised machine learning as three popular and/or promising approaches. Manual coding is based on the Policy Frames codebook, providing an established base that allows future research to dovetail our contribution. Analysing a large dataset of 12 Austrian newspapers’ EU coverage over 11 years (2009–2019), we contribute to addressing the methodological challenges that have emerged for social scientists interested in employing automated tools for frame analysis. While results confirm the superiority of supervised machine-learning, the semi-supervised approach (keyATM) seems unfit for frame analysis, whereas the topic model covers the middle ground. Results are extensively discussed regarding their implications for the validity of approaches.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":"17 1","pages":"205 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42066553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzed two conversations from 60 parent-adolescent dyads, 30 with harmful parental alcohol use and 30 without, where the adolescent described recent events that elicited positive and negative feelings. Using configural frequency analysis, we identified turn sequences that were over- and under-represented in the data, and we compared the prevalence of different turn sequences between families with harmful and non-harmful alcohol use. Then, using sequence analysis, we identified conversational motifs that reflect different patterns of parental communication and adolescent emotion regulation in conversation. Three conversational motifs emerged in conversations about negative emotions: (a) information sharing, (b) emotion regulating, and (c) reactive. Conversations about positive emotions revealed two conversational motifs: (a) emotion regulating and (b) information sharing. In addition, the conversational motifs were examined as predictors of adolescents’ post- interaction appraisals of their own emotion regulation and their parent’s responsiveness and control during the conversation. Findings point to the utility of sequence analysis for documenting patterns of interaction in parent-adolescent emotion-focused conversations.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46086044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, little is known about the specific media that individuals use as a reference and the weights they assign to them when responding to generic communication items - an important research gap because the use of diverse communication media has risen considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on media theories, two hypotheses were derived: Generic ratings contain a \"hidden\" face-to-face (FtF) communication framing that is dominant in the cognitive processing (media naturalness perspective) versus media are equally weighted in the mental aggregate of respondents (adaptation perspective). According to a preregistered study plan, generic and medium-specific communication items were assessed to investigate these hypotheses (referencing FtF, videoconferencing, chat, and e-mail interaction contexts). Training (n = 200) and test (n = 389) datasets were analyzed using latent variable modeling. Results indicated that generic ratings have a strong hidden FtF framing. These hidden framings impact the predictive power of the competencies to explain communication criteria (i.e. communication satisfaction). Exploratory analyses indicated that individual differences in media experience may affect the framings.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47088959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given theories suggesting that older adults are especially skilled in minimizing negativity within their relationships, the current study utilized data from 81 dating couples (age range 30–88) to examine potential age differences in couples’ behavioral patterns during observed conflict discussions. Using sequence analysis, we identified four distinct multi-turn communication patterns, known as conversational motifs, which characterized couples’ discussions: oppositional problem-solving, cooperative problem-solving, positive passivism, and avoidance. Further analyses revealed no significant age differences in the prevalence of these motifs within couples’ conversations. However, age moderated the effect of oppositional problem-solving motifs on post-conversation appraisals for men. If couples engaged in more oppositional problem-solving sequences, younger, but not older, men rated the conversation as less satisfying. The implications of these findings for understanding age differences in communication are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47743169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using secondary data from two experiments in which the medium for supportive conversations was manipulated among stranger dyads, we explore the nature and prevalence of seeker-to-provider and provider-to-seeker turn transitions. The results demonstrated interpersonal coordination in off-topic talk between seekers and providers that transcended the communication medium.

Besides limited awareness and expertise among researchers, a central challenge is to motivate people to donate their personal data. Therefore, this article investigates which factors affect people’s willingness to donate across different platforms and data types. The study applies a multilevel approach that explains the reported willingness to donate different types of data (level 1) belonging to different platforms (level 2) from potential data donors with individual characteristics (level 3) to a hypothetical research project. The analysis is based on data collected through a national online survey (n = 833). We find higher willingness to donate YouTube data compared to Facebook, Instagram, or Google, as well as relevant influencing factors at all three levels. Greater willingness is found for lower perceived sensitivity and higher perceived relevance of the data (level of data type), greater perceived behavioral control to request and submit the data (platform level), more favorable attitudes toward data donation and the donation purpose, as well as lower contextual privacy concerns (individual level). Based on these findings, practical implications for future data donation studies are proposed.","PeriodicalId":47552,"journal":{"name":"Communication Methods and Measures","volume":"17 1","pages":"227 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47124976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
