Here we consider how various message features factor into why certain claims are more likely to be believed, perceived as credible, and shared with others. Using a conjoint experiment, we randomly assigned participants (N = 1,489) to receive an experimentally manipulated message describing an allegation of political misconduct. Results suggest that partisan cues play a significant role in influencing both belief and perceived credibility. Furthermore, message specificity, language intensity, and whether other users’ comments on the post refute or endorse the post also influenced belief judgment and credibility assessments. We conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and practical importance of these findings for understanding and combating the threat of misinformation.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89209805","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}

Models of passive learning call into question whether motivation is a necessary condition for learning about politics. Passive learning contends that incidental, or unintended, exposure to political content can produce learning among those unmotivated to view the content. To date, researchers have not found a way to conclusively test the idea of passive learning. By designing an experiment that gives individuals a choice in media content, we propose one strategy for testing passive learning among the unmotivated. Across four studies, the results illustrate limitations on the circumstances under which passive learning occurs and suggest that learning results from situations where incidental exposure sparks motivation.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74038508","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 total of 100 college-aged, daily e-cigarette users were purposively recruited and randomly assigned to view four, 30-second anti-vaping public service announcements (PSAs) in random presentation featuring either dogmatic or suggestive language. As expected, daily e-cigarette users in the dogmatic anti-vaping PSA condition self-reported greater unpleasantness, freedom threat, psychological reactance, and behavioral intentions to use e-cigarettes than daily e-cigarette users in the suggestive anti-vaping PSA condition. Daily e-cigarette users in the dogmatic anti-vaping PSA condition also had greater defensive motivational reactivity during message exposure as indicated by greater corrugator muscle activation, skin conductivity levels, and less heart rate deceleration than daily e-cigarette users in the suggestive anti-vaping PSA condition. Taken together, this study provides substantial evidence of the psychophysiological and defensive nature of psychological reactance theory.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84677080","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}

This genre has historically represented police as the “good guys,” even when they break the rules in their quest for justice, but cop shows face increased public pressure to include more diverse perspectives and stop normalizing brutality. This study examines ten U.S. police procedurals that aired in the 2020–2021 season to investigate how they navigated public calls for police reform. As a cultural forum, contemporary cop shows offered varied narrative strategies and ideological positions as they articulated the problems in modern policing, considered potential solutions for improving policing, and identified impediments to progress. This forum is ultimately quite limited in scope, reinforcing the status quo even as narratives lack resolution.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79191272","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}

Sin embargo, la lógica de la difusión de los contenidos resulta muy diferente de los medios convencionales. En las redes sociales construir una base amplia y variada de seguidores facilita un mayor alcance del mensaje. Este artículo analiza la influencia de diversos factores individuales de los candidatos en dos aspectos del proceso: la variación del número de seguidores y la presencia multiplataforma. Ambas cuestiones se evalúan en Facebook, Twitter e Instagram en el marco de tres elecciones generales celebradas en España durante la década de 2010. Los resultados evidencian la escasa incidencia de la edad y el género de los candidatos, de su frecuencia de publicación y de la posición de poder de sus partidos. En cambio, tuvieron incidencia la trayectoria política de los aspirantes y el tamaño poblacional de sus circunscripciones, si bien esta influencia varía en función de la campaña y de la red social. La perspectiva de este estudio confirma aquellos factores de influencia que se han estabilizado en el tiempo y que podrían predecir con más consistencia el uso de las redes sociales que surjan en el futuro.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83583289","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}

Atendiendo a esta reformulación del dispositivo narrativo audiovisual, tratamos de profundizar en aquellas cuestiones clave sobre el aparato cinematográfico. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa, se realizó una primera fase de revisión bibliográfica a la que siguió un estudio de caso del filme volumétrico de realidad aumentada A Jester´s Tale (Malik, 2019), estructurado en dos bloques. El primero de entrevistas semiestructuradas al autor y el segundo de análisis de la obra objeto de estudio a través de un modelo propio. Se demuestra la reconfiguración del aparato cinematográfico en el contexto de la RA, descomponiéndose en cinco capas. Además, es notoria la diferencia en cuanto a su producción y consumo respecto a los procedimientos del cine convencional, donde la capa de interactividad cobra especial relevancia. Se observa, también, una estrategia de fracturación de la focalización del relato, que genera dos tipos de espectador, el que es interpelado e interactúa y el espectador invisible. Finalmente, se identifica la narrativa como tecnología primera en tensión interna con las derivas tecnológicas del dispositivo audiovisual.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88396740","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}

El objetivo de esta investigación es el de ahondar en la perspectiva relacional de la comunicación corporativa y, de manera específica, en su poder regenerador de confianza y creador de comunidad. La hipótesis establece que, debido al descrédito en las instituciones, los museos han decidido convertir la comunicación corporativa y, en concreto, las relaciones públicas, en una herramienta estratégica para relacionarse con sus stakeholders y mostrarse como lugares de encuentro multicultural. La investigación se basa en una revisión bibliográfica y una metodología cualitativa a través de entrevistas en profundidad a responsables de comunicación de los principales museos españoles madrileños, catalanes y vascos con un mayor número de visitantes en los últimos cinco años. Los resultados muestran que la comunicación se convierte en un elemento estratégico fundamental para que los museos refuercen lazos con sus grupos de interés y generen espacios de diálogo e inclusión entre comunidades minoritarias.","PeriodicalId":53925,"journal":{"name":"Fonseca-Journal of Communication","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74974319","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}
