How open is communication science? Open-science principles in the field Annals of the International Communication Association Pub Date : 2023-04-19 Mario Haim, Marc Jungblut
ABSTRACT Open-science principles, such as open data, shared materials, and pre-registration, are expected to encourage a culture of replication in scientific research. Yet, with its topical and methodological heterogeneity, communication science has been described to fall short of such principles. We analyze the extent to which open-science principles were used in publications from 20 leading communication

Where is ‘the political’ in the journal Political Communication? On the hegemonic articulation of a disciplinary identity Annals of the International Communication Association Pub Date : 2023-02-06 Sean Phelan, Pieter Maeseele
ABSTRACT Critical scholars have long critiqued the circumscribed theoretical boundaries of political communication research in its dominant disciplinary identity. This identity is usually attributed to the hegemonic authority of a functionalist paradigm of political communication anchored in the use of positivist epistemologies and quantitative methods. This article revisits these old debates from

ABSTRACT In a proclaimed age of ‘post-truth,’ scholars have raised concerns about the spread of false information and the questioning of epistemic authorities. In this paper, we develop an analytical model to capture the digital transformation of knowledge order. Drawing on insights from social epistemology, sociology and history of knowledge, and media history, we identify epistemic practices as basic

Persuasive communication and spatial presence: a systematic literature review and conceptual model Annals of the International Communication Association Pub Date : 2023-01-25 Priska Breves
ABSTRACT Immersive media forms that can elicit high levels of spatial presence have become popular tools for persuasive communicators. While the research community agrees that immersive persuasive messages should be especially effective, there is less consensus concerning the underlying psychological mechanism. Consequently, it seems necessary to systematize and consolidate the research field. This

ABSTRACT News recommender systems (NRS) are becoming a ubiquitous part of the digital media landscape. Particularly in the realm of political news, the adoption of NRS can significantly impact journalistic distribution, in turn affecting journalistic work practices and news consumption. Thus, NRS touch both the supply and demand of political news. In recent years, there has been a strong increase in

M. Pennings, Sabine van Vondel, Henderien Steenbeek, Sanne Akkerman
ABSTRACT The pervasive phenomenon of adaptivity in face-to-face interaction is described inconsistently, using numerous concepts (e.g. alignment/attunement/complementarity/imitation/reciprocity/scaffolding/synchrony), impeding the streamlining of adaptivity research. We explored 33 adaptivity concepts and various adaptivity theories from different fields. We developed a theory-based conceptual framework

ABSTRACT This paper applies indexing theory to test whether U.S. television news about COVID-19 covered misinformed elite viewpoints and whether indexing patterns were consistent across networks. We extend theory by investigating an emerging crisis where information was in flux. We conducted a content analysis of U.S. broadcast and cable news coverage of two COVID-19 issues: masks and disinfectants/UV

ABSTRACT While perspectives on open scholarship practices (OSPs) in Communication are noted in editorials and position papers, as a discipline we lack data-driven insights into how the larger community understands, feels about, engages in, and supports OSPs – insights that could inform current conversations about OSPs in Communication and document how the field shifts in response to ongoing discourses

ABSTRACT The coronavirus pandemic is a unique context that can allow researchers to address boundary conditions. This essay details four different types of boundary conditions and emphasizes they are not created equal.

‘Popular culture’ in popular culture: academic and vernacular usage Annals of the International Communication Association Pub Date : 2022-03-08 Alan McKee
ABSTRACT The term ‘popular culture’ was not invented by those who consume the forms of culture it designates but by those who took them as objects of study. The term has now migrated outside of the academy and is used differently in vernacular compared to academic contexts. In this article I argue that academics can take three lessons from vernacular usage of the term ‘popular culture’. The first is

ABSTRACT After decades of study, much of what comprises ‘funny’ content remains subjective. A meta-analysis of 80 experimental humor manipulations sought to identify what makes a stimulus funny by focusing on its content, audience, and research design. Results suggest that content which draws upon theoretically grounded techniques like surprise, tension relief, and superiority leads to stronger effects

ABSTRACT This paper extends the communication theory of identity (CTI) through the revision of two of its assumptions and by introducing a fifth frame of identity: the material frame. The theory’s first assumption presents that ‘Identities have individual, enacted, relational, and communal properties’ [Hecht et al., 2003 Hecht, M. L., Jackson, R. L., II, & Ribeau, S. A. (2003).

Previous reviews have yet to assess the full breadth of research on media and polarization. We systematically examine 94 articles (121 studies) that assess the role of (social) media in shaping political polarization. Using quantitative and qualitative

Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/cbo9780511606984]) has aided scholars in exploring when and why some interpersonal conversations are evaluated as more successful than others.

Gendered citation practices in the field of communication Annals of the International Communication Association Pub Date : 2021-07-30
ABSTRACT In disciplines outside of communication, papers with women as first and last (i.e. senior) authors attract fewer citations than papers with men in those positions. Using data from 14 communication journals from 1995 to 2018, we find that reference lists include more papers with men as first and last author, and fewer papers with women as first and last author, than would be expected if gender

ABSTRACT Research on trust in media is on the rise. However, communication scholars have addressed related concepts (e.g. media credibility) for decades, and these concepts have often been used interchangeably with that of trust. This practice has resulted in a confusing field of research, with studies using different labels and drawing on various theoretical backgrounds. This article aims to improve

ABSTRACT When media users are exposed to the suffering of distant others, they are often deeply moved and feel the urge to help. Yet, they tend to stay passive. Communication scholars have not produced a sufficient and succinct understanding of this gap between media-induced awareness and behavioral non-response.
