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 “ high competition and creativity” profile frequently engaged in communication suggesting social competition and creativity. 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}

Forty-four 8 to 12-year-old children were randomly assigned to watch an animation series designed for an existing active video game in which the plot was delivered either continuously across multiple episodes (serial) or in multiple yet relatively independent self-contained episodes (episodic). Controlling for social desirability, children who watched the serial narrative had significantly more moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and step counts while the episodic group's gameplay duration decreased, especially during later visits. There was no difference in self-reported narrative immersion or physical activity intention.

A German national telephone survey ( N Study1 = 905) and two online surveys ( N Study2 = 877; N Study3 = 1,018) were conducted to extend prior experimental research by examining unforced exposure to full-length media stimuli in real-world settings, using representative surveys, and including self-reports of actual behavior after exposure. Survey participants were interviewed about television theme nights (i.e., a combination of subsequent entertainment and information programs on the same topic) to examine direct and indirect relationships between eudaimonic entertainment experiences (i.e., moving and thought-provoking experiences) and politically relevant outcomes. As expected, feeling moved by a movie positively correlated with reflective thoughts, which, in turn, were associated with issue interest, subjective knowledge, and willingness to participate politically across all three studies. Additional relationships of feeling moved and reflective thoughts with information seeking, objective knowledge, and interpersonal discussion emerged for some but not all studies.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"656 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513319","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}

Participants included 264 emerging adult children who were involved in a romantic relationship. Parent interference with the romantic partnership was directly and indirectly associated with turbulence in the parent-child relationship via communication valence. The direct association was conditioned by the family’s conversation orientation and whether the adult child valued the parent’s opinion about their romantic partnership, whereas the indirect association was not. Likewise, parent facilitation was directly and indirectly associated with turbulence via communication valence, though again only the direct association was conditioned by conversation orientation and valuing the parent’s opinion. Implications for relational turbulence theory are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290161","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}
