February, 2024 Journal of Media Psychology

Every Friday after work you go out with coworkers for a few drinks, and invariable end up posting a few pictures of your Friday Funzies to Instagram. Can the way you depict yourself in relation to alcohol actually change your relationship with alcohol? A registered report by Dr. Femke Geusens, myself, and Dr. Kathleen Beullens drew on identity shift theory to answer this question. Perhaps fortunately, neither posting pictures of alcohol or being social with alcohol affected participants' intention to drink in the future.

 

January, 2024 Media Psychology

It is pretty well established that recent social media posts can affect employers' perceptions of an applicant; but what about when employers find those posts you made years ago? New research by brilliant graduate scholars Mary C. Katreeb (now a PhD student at Arizona State) and Ertemisa P. Godinez (now a talent specialist for a financial services firm) looks at the effect of post temporality on current impressions. The good news is that older posts seem to impact perceptions of the 'now' you less than more recent posts.

 

November, 2023 Human Communication & Technology

Do sponsored posts tell us as much about a target's offline self as either self-statements or third party reviews? New research by a group of graduate scholars tells us that influencers may be better than an organization's own claims; but aren't as good as true reviewers from unknowns. This paper was the output of my Fall 2022 COM418 course, and demonstrates how well the enrolled scholars mastered the warranting construct.

 

Summer, 2021 CMC Textbook

A long while in the making, you can now pre-order Computer-mediated communication, my new textbook for undergraduate scholars, is now available. The book focuses on both theories and applications of mediated communication, presenting classic theories in contemporary environments. Chapters address interpersonal, group, organizational, and political communication online, as well as social media, CMC for education and persuasion, and other contemporary topics. Instructor supplements forthcoming, including test bank and sample assignments.
