▼ This dissertation addressed multimedia exemplification to explore the conditions under which multimedia integration into Web sites enhances or undermines information processing. Because exemplification amounts to vivid case descriptions creating shortcuts for judgment, the author set out to test whether multimedia enhancements in news Web sites could act as exemplars and influence the way people perceive issues reported in the accompanying stories. The experimental study employed a 3x3x2 mixed factorial design (post-test only) with exemplar representation (one side=negative, other side=positive, both sides=mixed) and exemplar modality (low, moderate, high) serving as two between-subjects factors, and time of response (immediate, delayed) as a within-subjects factor. Modality was manipulated by the presentational format of exemplars (text only=low; text+picture=moderate; text+picture+video=high). Issue perception was examined through assessments of consequences (immediate, delayed) and inferences about the future (immediate, delayed). A sample of 180 students was randomly assigned to 18 versions of The Global Journalist, a fictitious news site. According to the results, exemplifying information in the multimedia content (i.e., extra-text exemplars), rather than focal information in the textual content, created a shift in issue perception. In immediate responses, the group given negative (one side) exemplars assessed the issues more negatively than did the groups assigned to either positive (other side) or mixed (both sides) exemplars. The more interesting finding was the interaction effect of exemplar representation and exemplar modality on immediate responses. Partiality in high-modality exemplars (text+picture+video) was more likely to bias immediate assessments of consequences than did partiality in low-modality exemplars (text only). This happened in the presence of identical, balanced news text across all conditions. Meanwhile, the main effect of exemplar representation and the interaction effect of exemplar representation and exemplar modality were not observed in immediate inferences about the future of the reported issues. This dissertation also failed to detect either the main effect of exemplar representation or the interaction effect of exemplar representation and exemplar modality on delayed assessments and delayed inferences. Theoretical and practical implications of the study findings were discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Tran, Hai Long, Gibson, Rhonda.

▼ Postpartum depression is a common disorder that can occur after a woman has given birth. Unfortunately, many who suffer from postpartum depression do not seek treatment – one reason may be because of the stigma perpetuated by media accounts of women with postpartum psychosis who commit infanticide. Although such incidents are incredibly rare – only 1 in 1,000 new mothers develops postpartum psychosis, and of these, only 4% commit infanticide – women make the news when they kill their infants. This study sought to determine whether an exemplar of extreme maternal mental illness (i.e., Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who drowned her five children in 2001) is more likely to trigger, or prime, harsher judgments of a target character who suffered from postpartum depression than would a non-extreme exemplar. This study used a priming technique whereby participants – 40 pregnant women, 20 for each condition – were exposed to online slideshow stories, one about Andrea Yates and one about a woman who suffered from the milder postpartum depression. Later, their memory was triggered via a subliminal priming technique consisting of flashes of images from either slideshow. The participants then watched a video clip of the target character and were asked to evaluate her. This study sought not only to isolate a media effect, but also to determine how this effect may be influencing behavioral intentions such as postponing speaking with their doctors about depression in order to avoid medication. The findings of this study suggest that the non-extreme prime triggered harsher judgments of the target character once that character's sanity was called into question, whereas the extreme prime prompted participants to correct their judgments of the target character and to evaluate her more positively when her sanity was in question. The non-extreme prime triggered higher perceptions of the risk of developing postpartum disorders than the extreme prime. However, in spite of harsher judgments and higher perceptions of risk, those in the non-extreme condition were more likely than those in extreme condition to engage their health care providers if they thought they were depressed.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is both to advance the understanding of journalism's impact on psychological well-being and to expand the boundaries of the news process by introducing and testing the interdisciplinary concept of constructive journalism. Constructive journalism is an emerging form of journalism that applies techniques from the field of positive psychology to news work in an effort to create more productive, engaging news stories while remaining committed to journalism's core functions. This approach offers a way to rehabilitate journalism, given the field's steady stream of negative, conflict-based news that has resulted in weary news audiences, among other undesirable effects. Exploring the concept of constructive journalism, this dissertation tested, through experimental designs, two constructive journalism techniques grounded in the psychology literature - evoking positive emotions in news stories and including solution information in news stories. Study 1 found that individuals who experienced positive emotions while reading a news story felt better, had more favorable attitudes toward the story, and reported stronger intentions to engage in some pro-social behaviors than those who experienced negative emotions while reading a new story. Study 2 examined the impact of solution information in news stories and found that mentioning an effective solution to a social problem caused readers to feel good and like the news story, but did not impact readers' behavioral intentions or actual behaviors. These findings offer some support for the implementation of constructive journalism while cautioning that more research is needed. Limitations and future research are discussed, as well as theoretical and professional implications. This dissertation calls for further examination of constructive journalism by academic scholars and continued consideration by practitioners. Practical information is provided on how journalists can take a more active role in shaping their news stories in ways that both inform and empower their audiences.

▼ Mass communication agenda building literature has examined how story topics and frames develop into media coverage. This dissertation studied two aspects of agenda building that remain under explored. First, while agenda building and agenda setting were developed during days of top-down mass media, today’s media environment can be perceived as, in the words of Andrew Chadwick, a hybrid media system. This system has many interacting players, platforms and opinion leaders, each with access to several media channels and outlets. While scholarship has looked at how much influence older forms of information subsidies, such as press releases, or newer forms, such as Tweets, have on media coverage and corresponding public attention, few studies have looked at how all of these forms of materials and media outlets are interacting with each other. Second, agenda building literature rarely looks at how minority or niche media outlets and audiences discuss a topic. This study compared coverage of an LBGT-themed case study ¬– openly gay athlete Michael Sam’s journey into professional football ¬¬¬– to see how the story was built and shaped across mainstream news media, queer media, LGBT advocacy organizations and social media. This study used a qualitative content analysis of multiple outlets and organizations from each of these media and organizational categories, coupled with in-depth interviews with individuals associated with Michael Sam’s journey, or the LGBT sports movement more broadly. Results showed that previous conceptualizations of unidirectional information flow developed in mass media days are no longer a reality. Many different outlets, organizations and individuals shaped coverage of Michael Sam, each having their own voice at various points in the story. Theorizations of agenda building therefore need to take account of the modern media system’s diverse landscape. Findings also indicated unique dynamics within queer media and LGBT advocacy organizations, demonstrating how scholars need to fully appreciate the variance that can take place across media coverage, advocacy outlets, and audiences. The study concludes with recommendations for future academic and professional work in this area. First, it suggests that the media system is less of a unidirectional wave and more of an interacting and rippling pond. Second, scholars need to study more than just older or newer types of information subsidies to appreciate all that is affecting broader story flow. Findings showed that, to make broader claims about who influences a story’s development, many individuals, outlets and organizations need to be examined holistically. Third, it calls for a better appreciation of non-news media and non-media relations factors that can affect a story or topic. Fourth, future scholars must think critically when applying the term agenda at all, as findings showed that mainstream news coverage often varied not only from queer coverage and audience or organizational discussion, but also other mainstream news coverage. The study ends with… Advisors/Committee Members: Cabosky, Joseph, Gibson, Rhonda, Boynton, Lois A., Saffer, Adam, Parker, Patricia, Andrews, Kenneth.

▼ Communication initiatives frequently are used to inform people about various risks in an attempt to improve their decision making and behavior. People, however, do not readily accept personal risk information, often underestimating their susceptibility to and the severity of the risks. This dissertation draws on psychological theory and research to explain why people underestimate their risks. Three experiments were designed to test whether people have an automatic tendency to underestimate self-relevant risks - the default option that occurs without conscious awareness of underestimation of health risks as a bias and of self-schema activation as a source of this bias and is likely to occur when people are mentally taxed. Rationale for the theoretical propositions advanced here is derived from research documenting that health risk information is (a) processed as self-relevant, (b) inconsistent with the positivity bias and self-threatening, and that (c) the activation of the self-schema is automatic. Experiment 1 tested the hypothesis that people underestimate their likelihood of experiencing negative health conditions and overestimate their likelihood of experiencing positive ones. Experiment 2 examined whether underestimation of health risks is an efficient process, one that occurs when people are mentally taxed. Finally, Experiment 3 tested the effects of health risk controllability and psychological reactance on health risk perceptions. All three experiments relied on priming to activate the self-schema and measured the effects of this activation on reaction time, an implicit measure of risk perceptions. Several individual difference variables (e.g., self efficacy) and health risk characteristics (e.g., prevalence) that influence risk perceptions were controlled for. Results show that people automatically underestimate their health risks, that is, without awareness, intention, or effort. The studies provided conclusive evidence of (a) underestimation of susceptibility to negative health conditions and overestimation of susceptibility to positive ones and (b) efficiency of underestimation of health risks. Results regarding self-schema activation as a source of underestimation of risks were not as conclusive. Individual difference variables did not affect implicit measures of risk perceptions. Health risk characteristics, on the other hand, influenced risk perceptions. The experiments showed an inverted relationship between susceptibility and severity dimensions of health risk perceptions.

9. Blankenship, Justin. SOLO JOURNALISM AND NEWS ROUTINES: USING THE HIERARCHICAL INFLUENCES MODEL TO STUDY THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL INFLUENCES OF SOLO JOURNALISM IN LOCAL TELEVISION NEWS.

▼ Solo journalism, as conceptualized in this dissertation, is a particular work practice in local television news. It requires that news reporters gather information, write copy, record video/audio footage, and edit narrative news stories by themselves. Traditionally, those jobs have been performed by at least two trained professionals. While the practice has existed in some form since the earliest days of television news, it has grown in popularity, particularly in larger media markets in the United States. Using the Hierarchical Influences Model as a framework, this study examined solo journalism from an organizational, routine, and individual level of analysis. Institutional theories from sociology, specifically isomorphism and decoupling, were used to examine the organizational antecedents of solo journalism. Research from organizational studies was used to examine the effects of solo journalism on the routinization of news work. And theories from the organizational behavior field, specifically job characteristics theory, role theory, and burnout, were used to examine the effects of solo journalism on the individual journalists. This dissertation utilized a mixed-method design. It used qualitative in-depth interviews with local television news directors (N= 12) to examine organizational research questions. It also used a quantitative survey of front-line reporters (N= 222) to answer routine level and individual level research questions and hypotheses. The findings of the interviews indicated that several news directors, particularly those in medium- and small-sized markets, felt some form of pressure from their superiors to hire more solo journalists, but this pressure did not meet the traditional definition of coercive isomorphic pressure. Findings regarding possible mimetic and normative pressures were also mixed. Additionally, there was some evidence that news directors have different expectations of solo journalists compared to news crews, but it is unclear if this leads to a decoupling of nominal and actual practice in the traditional sense. The findings of the quantitative survey show few significant relationships between solo journalism and measures of routinization and autonomy. Additionally, a proposed mediated relationship among solo journalism, role overload, and burnout was not supported by the data. Possible explanations for this lack of support and future directions for research are discussed.

▼ This dissertation followed four newcomer foreign-born Latino (FBL) at Frank Porter Graham Elementary School in North Carolina and examined how they engaged with critical educational technologies. I designed this collective case study to examine the relationships among the places, spaces, actors, and objects that affect their learning experiences and their engagement with digital educational technologies. Using qualitative methods of data collection, I observed and interviewed the four FBL students, and also interviewed other actors (i.e., teachers, peers and parents) and observed other spaces (i.e., classroom, afterschool program and home) relevant to their educational experiences. Using a constructivist grounded theory methodology, I examined each FBL student's (1) dual-socialization experience of acculturation and enculturation; (2) their use of digital educational technology in the classroom; and (3) their family dynamics at home. I developed a conceptual analysis of the participants' behaviors and responses with the goal of developing a grounded model based on their perspectives and experiences. I documented two different approaches to digital educational technology in the classroom: the one-to-one approach and the organic approach. The organic approach successfully resulted in the creation of empowering educational third spaces in the classroom; however, these spaces proved difficult to foster in home settings. The challenge of replicating educational third spaces at home was found to exceed general problems of access and to represent a larger pedagogical problem: that academic goals and expectations were largely based on middle-class, Anglo parenting standards. Further research is needed to assess how family dynamics affect students' engagement with digital educational technologies. In presenting the cases of these four FBL students I sought not only to understand their use of technology in classroom, but to better understand the empowering potential of digital educational technologies. In an era of digital dominance, digital nativity can be the key to Latino youth becoming the producers of their own future.

▼ This experimental research study investigated the effects that message type and source similarity in mass media messages have on attitudes toward older adults among college-age students. The purpose of the study was to investigate public relations message strategies that can be employed to combat negative stereotypes that stigmatize a social group, in this case older adults. Due to the large population of aging baby boomers, efforts to combat prejudice and discrimination against older adults—termed ageism—has particular importance for age organizations striving to enhance the overall quality of life for older adults. Three types of message appeal conditions (cognitive, affective, and mixed cognitive/affective) were presented in a simulated Yahoo.com online news article. The simulated news article was designed to reflect a published press release that was disseminated to the media by an age organization striving to combat typically held negative stereotypes of people over age 65. A supplemental experiment manipulated a source variable based on similarity (same-age college student source versus older-age source) to investigate possible effect of source similarity on positively changing attitudes toward older adults. The results showed that presenting fact-based cognitive arguments supported by research evidence was a more effective message strategy for producing positive attitude change toward older adults among 200 undergraduate students than were affective messages based on emotional appeals, subjective personal evaluations, and compassionate arguments or a combination of cognitive and affective appeals. Furthermore, results indicated the importance of mass media messages in terms of producing positive attitude change toward older adults. There was significant positive attitude change toward older adults after exposure to the stimulus materials in both the immediate and time-delayed (one week) conditions.
