Through a descriptive qualitative approach, the results showed how and why these adaptations occur and how culture is an undeniable component of communication. Two themes emerged, cultural expectations and accent. Together, these factors can prevent foreign faculty from fully adjusting to the academic workplace and create a feeling of otherness. The results of this study suggest that the U.S. academic workplace needs to improve communication among all faculty so that diversity, equity, and inclusion are continuously respected and cultivated. This research is significant because it extends a gap in the literature about the acculturation of foreign-born faculty.","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"414 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47360646","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}

A 2 (smiling/RBF) x 2 (female/male provider) online experiment, guided by expectancy violations theory, investigated whether U.S. adults’ perceptions of a healthcare provider, medical care quality, and likelihood to make another appointment would be impacted by the provider’s facial expression and sex. Results indicated that RBF was an expectancy violation resulting in decreased liking and perceptions of care quality. The female provider with RBF was evaluated more negatively than the smiling female provider and the male provider with RBF on liking, caring, medical care quality, and likelihood to make a future appointment. Additional findings are further discussed in the paper. Patients may hold biases toward providers based on their facial expressions and biological sex.","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"390 - 413"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43827420","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}

Yet, how and to whom that dissent is voiced and the responses to dissent can vary extensively. This study investigates how professional athletes enact displaced dissent and how the public reacts via sentiment analysis of Trevor Bauer’s YouTube channel. Findings identified 53 triggering agents that were consistent with those of subordinates in traditional workplaces. A novel triggering agent of external stakeholder management was also identified, which addressed Major League Baseball’s focus and consideration for its public, their interest in baseball, and relationships with athletes. Bauer expressed his dissent via 94 messages, mainly featuring a combination of rhetorically effective strategies and emotional release. Sentiment analysis of commenters’ 1,612 replies revealed rhetorically competent messages were either unassociated with or enhanced negative sentiment, but positive sentiment was created through entertainment (i.e. humor and pressure), inclusion (i.e. coalition building), and shared ideals (i.e. inspiration).","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"343 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42848573","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}

Hope was explicated as a positive discrete emotion associated with a nonzero but uncertain prospect (with a probability between 0 and 1) of an unattained goal. Hope can be successfully induced with messages that highlight a discrepancy between the current state and an unattained goal in tandem with a positive but uncertain prospect of goal attainment. Hope’s persuasive impact above and beyond fear was tested in a web-based experiment with health messages that promoted sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) consumption reduction and support for related public policies. Results demonstrated the impact of hope on both SSB consumption reduction and policy support as well as its potential interaction with fear in conferring persuasive effects. These findings offer a guideline for experimental manipulations of hope and set the stage for replications and further tests of moderators.","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"322 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45059911","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}

Applying affection exchange theory to explain engagement in risky behaviors may comprise a nascent area of the theory’s development.

The goal of this study is to examine how birth doulas communicate about their role as advocates through the provision of social support and describe the barriers they encounter when doing so. In-depth interviews with 10 doulas showed evidence of indirect advocacy through network, emotional, and tangible support as well as direct advocacy through informational and esteem support. Further, doulas discussed barriers related to the hospital setting, compensation, and accessibility. This study aims to cast light on the ways interpersonal health advocacy and support are intertwined in doula work and consider how doula assistance can be optimized and expanded.","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"243 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43595263","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}

We analyzed 87 online narratives from Prisontalk.com’s (Prison Talk Online; PTO) Success Stories forum, a discussion space focused on the transition to and life after post-incarceration. Four themes were identified from the narratives as posters discussed their continued desistance: 1) being motivated and resilient, 2) changing their self-perceptions, 3) engaging with/in supportive relationships, and 4) creating space for/from community. We found that online desistance narratives are similar to narratives disclosed in face-to-face contexts. Additionally, online spaces and the affordances they offer are important places for post-incarcerated individuals; these spaces offer the opportunity for members of the community to construct and post narratives where post-incarcerated individuals reflect on their previous actions and perform pro-social identities that help the larger carceral community.","PeriodicalId":51521,"journal":{"name":"COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY","volume":"71 1","pages":"219 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44557239","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}

Largely, expectations were negative, as adoptees were concerned that contact would (a) cause problems for the birth family member, (b) result in a second rejection, or (c) reveal negative information about the birth family member. Adoptees experienced both positive and negative violations when they made contact, resulting in feelings of uncertainty.
