How TV series and social media role models play a role in adolescents’ work value endorsement remains underexamined. This study investigated transactional within-person associations between perceived upholding of intrinsic/extrinsic work values by a favorite occupational role model from a TV series or from social media and adolescents’ intrinsic/extrinsic work value endorsement. The moderating roles of occupational wishful identification and gender were also examined. Altogether, 1,294 late adolescents (55.85% girls, M age = 18.34, SD age = 6.44) participated in a three-wave panel study. Perceived upholding of intrinsic work values by a favorite occupational role model from a TV series positively predicted adolescents’ intrinsic work value endorsement on the within-person level. Regarding the perceived upholding of intrinsic/extrinsic work values by a favorite role model from social media and adolescents’ work value endorsement, only between-person associations emerged. No support was found for our moderators.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145077985","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}

Building on the privacy calculus theory, we explore how political interest interacts with privacy concerns and social network size when users decide to engage in political expression on social media. This study utilizes survey data from four countries (the US, UK, France, and Canada) collected in 2019 ( n = 6,291), encompassing three social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We find that privacy concerns are negatively related to expression on social media. Larger social networks positively relate to political expression, especially on Twitter. Political interest plays an important moderating role: highly politically interested users discount privacy concerns and opt to post political content. These findings replicate across all three platforms.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145077934","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}

However, the polarized opinions visible on the media may not necessarily indicate deeper fragmentation of hidden beliefs, which is often assumed to be driven by persuasion. Instead, public opinion polarization can emerge from contextual dynamics that decouple private attitudes from expressed opinions. This study explores these conditions through an agent-based model (ABM) that integrates the dynamics of attitude formation with the ‘spiral of silence’ theory. The simulations reveal that opinions can polarize or converge due to subtle contextual changes—such as changes in social connectivity or elite influence—even when the degree of attitude polarization remains moderate. Furthermore, the findings show that increased social connectivity attenuates the polarization of both attitudes and opinions, as greater exposure to diverse perspectives mitigates the effects of repulsion toward opposing views. These findings highlight how public opinions may fail to reliably reflect the true sentiments of the population, creating a misleading impression of a more fractured society while suggesting that increased connectivity could help mitigate such divisions.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915384","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}

However, such interventions do not always have their desired impact, calling for a better understanding of the factors influencing their efficacy. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review on 80 experimental studies, following the PRISMA checklist. Interestingly, findings suggest that intervention effectiveness depended more on the outcome variables targeted than on specific intervention characteristics. Notably, most interventions successfully improved users’ ability to detect misinformation, likely because many were specifically designed with this goal in mind. However, their effects on persuasive outcomes (e.g., attitudes) were more inconsistent, suggesting that changing such outcomes may require different or additional strategies beyond misinformation detection training. Based on these findings we propose several suggestions for future research and recommendations for developing more effective media literacy interventions.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144919335","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 paper, however, takes a salutogenetic perspective in exploring the potential long-term effects of entertainment use on meaning making as an adaptive coping skill. We propose three theoretical pathways explaining potential effects of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment, as well as escapist media use on meaning making—through vicarious experiences of adversity, experiencing positive affect, and distraction. In two preregistered longitudinal studies with varying time intervals (6 months, weekly, and daily observations), both hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment use showed positive within-person relationships with meaning making daily and weekly, but not over 6 months. Escapist media use negatively predicted meaning making across all time intervals. Additionally, vicarious experience and positive affect, but not distraction, mediated these effects. Our findings shed light on temporal dynamics of entertainment use and emphasize its role in fostering meaning making.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898997","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}

The “ partial competition and creativity” profile often communicated about undocumented-related barriers (reflecting social competition), while to a degree, also sharing optimism for the future (indicating social creativity). The “limited competition, mobility, creativity” profile engaged in low levels of communication across all strategies. Health and wellbeing were mostly stable over time across profiles; however, the “high competition and creativity” profile reported more anxiety and stomachaches, and the strongest undocumented identity. Finally, exposure to media depictions of undocumented immigrants was associated with membership in the “high competition and creativity” profile as opposed to the “limited competition, mobility, creativity” profile.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144899011","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}
