The hidden power of shame: how feeling ashamed enhances advertisement recall and positive attitude

This study investigates the effect of shame on subsequent advertisement processing. Consumers often experience shame in various advertising contexts, such as digital media contexts, TV advertisements, or even daily lives. However, it remains unclear how feeling shame affects consumers’ processing of subsequent advertisements that are unrelated to the shame-inducing situations. In three experiments, we find that consumers who feel shame show increased cognitive processing (e.g. greater recall of advertisements) compared with those who do not feel shame or those who feel guilt. We further show that this increased cognitive processing leads to a more positive response toward the product. Furthermore, we find that the effect of shame on subsequent advertisement processing is stronger for high self-monitors than for low self-monitors.

Exploring 'quality' in science communication online: Expert thoughts on how to assess and promote science communication quality in digital media contexts.

In recent years, the public visibility of science has greatly increased. In the digital media landscape, a wide range of players is now engaged in science communication via various online channels. While these developments offer opportunities, they also entail risks for the quality of science communication. This study explores how the quality of science communication can be assessed and promoted in the increasingly complex digital ecosystem. A two-wave survey with international science communication experts served as a basis to develop a quality framework for digital science communication and to formulate strategies to promote the quality of science communication online. Besides these outcomes, results hint at blind spots in the discourse of science communication quality that demand further investigation and reflection.

The Context of Digital Media: The Turning and Communication Vision of Oroqen Ethnic Cultural Heritage

Oral literature from the Oroqen people, as well as paper-cutting and pattern art, are two distinct spiritual and cultural representations of the Oroqen people. These representations appear in the Oroqen literature with various spiritual and cultural characteristics and construct the Oroqen people's image from various angles. Multi-ethnic cultural aesthetics are essential in the era of digital media to preserve the record and history of the Oroqen ethnic culture by using cutting-edge technologies, enhancing the richness of historical records, and highlighting the value of cultural distinctiveness and inheritance. In the era of modern global integration, it is important to emphasize cultural diversity in order to preserve the richness of Chinese culture and create a distinctive ethnic identity. Assigning ourselves a unique ethnic identity will help us to bridge the identity vacuum brought on by modernity.

Exploring Foreign Domestic Workers’ Perceived Contextual Factors That Influence Their Participation in Medical Consultations: An Ecological Lens

ABSTRACT Foreign domestic workers have reported various health problems after moving to Hong Kong, which suggests the need for them to seek medical attention. Yet, much uncertainty exists about their perception of healthcare experiences as patients, particularly how they perceive their communication with ethnic-discordant healthcare providers. Drawing on foreign domestic workers’ perspectives, we extracted non-interpersonal factors from Street’s ecological model and its extension proposed by Head and Bute (2018) and examined how foreign domestic workers perceived these contextual factors affected their communication with healthcare providers. Thematic analysis was conducted on thirty Filipina and Indonesian domestic workers’ narratives. Our findings confirmed that the context of digital media (characterized by Internet use and the adoption of a telemedicine approach) and the context of social ties (characterized by employers’ involvement and everyday communication with friends and peers) were both potential contextual factors that domestic workers reported accounted for their participation in medical encounters. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Future research building on these findings is proposed.

Formal and Multimodal Approach to Hard News as Genre, Structure and Metalanguage in Social and Digital Media Contexts. The Example of Twitter

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo é aperfeiçoar heurísticas para o discurso das notícias por meio do desenvolvimento de um modelo cognitivo de abstração, em contextos de mídia social. Para tal, discute-se a notícia como gênero, estrutura e metalinguagem, partindo da noção formal de modo semiótico. A anotação sob essa visada é uma tecnologia bem-sucedida para controlar os efeitos das restrições de gênero, revelar relações e inquirir sobre dados e documentos. Procede-se à anotação da notícia na interface do Twitter, caracterizada em termos de suas regularidades formais e materiais empregadas recursivamente. Demonstra-se a formalização de uma semântica para o discurso da notícia nas chamadas formas lógicas, adaptada de ferramentas desenvolvidas pela Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT), a fim de construir novas hipóteses sobre coerência em diferentes níveis de detalhe. Por fim, discute-se a implicação desta abordagem como disciplina na produção de conhecimento transversal com vistas à literacia digital, em tempos urgentes1.

Swimming Through Ambivalence: The Paradox of Vigilant Coping in Female College Athletes

Three decades of research into disordered eating in sports have revealed contradictory results, with athletes considered both at risk but also protected from eating problems. To contribute insight into the complexities of existing literature, this study examines how female college swimmers in the US experience food and their bodies in athletic, non-athletic, and digital media contexts. Drawing on 16 in- depth interviews, this study finds that these athletes experience contradictory ideals, especially in the domains of health and online self- presentation. When faced with such tensions, they often seek resolution through heightened discipline and attention towards controlling the body, a phenomenon that I call vigilant coping. While vigilant coping can provide some satisfaction and respite, it often exacerbates confusion and reproduces anxieties. As a result, a predominant strategy for resolving ambivalence becomes a source of additional distress around food and body. The women in this study show how athletic contexts contribute to the paradox of vigilant coping but also reveal creative ways of coping that go beyond vigilance. These findings are particularly important given the low success of disordered eating treatments and urgency towards improving preventative efforts.

Automated Monitoring of Suicidal Adolescents’ Digital Media Use: Qualitative Study Exploring Acceptability Within Clinical Care

BackgroundMonitoring linguistic cues from adolescents’ digital media use (DMU; ie, digital content transmitted on the web, such as through text messages or social media) that could denote suicidal risk offers a unique opportunity to protect adolescents vulnerable to suicide, the second leading cause of death among youth. Adolescents communicate through digital media in high volumes and frequently express emotionality. In fact, web-based disclosures of suicidality are more common than in-person disclosures. The use of automated methods of digital media monitoring triggered by a natural language processing algorithm offers the potential to detect suicidal risk from subtle linguistic units (eg, negatively valanced words, phrases, or emoticons known to be associated with suicidality) present within adolescents’ digital media content and to use this information to respond to alerts of suicidal risk. Critical to the implementation of such an approach is the consideration of its acceptability in the clinical care of adolescents at high risk of suicide.ObjectiveThrough data collection among recently suicidal adolescents, parents, and clinicians, this study examines the current context of digital media monitoring for suicidal adolescents seeking clinical care to inform the need for automated monitoring and the factors that influence the acceptance of automated monitoring of suicidal adolescents’ DMU within clinical care.MethodsA total of 15 recently suicidal adolescents (aged 13-17 years), 12 parents, and 10 clinicians participated in focus groups, qualitative interviews, and a group discussion, respectively. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsParticipants described important challenges to the current strategies for monitoring the DMU of suicidal youth. They felt that automated monitoring would have advantages over current monitoring approaches, namely, by protecting web-based environments and aiding adolescent disclosure and support seeking about web-based suicidal risk communication, which may otherwise go unnoticed. However, they identified barriers that could impede implementation within clinical care, namely, adolescents’ and parents’ concerns about unintended consequences of automated monitoring, that is, the potential for loss of privacy or false alerts, and clinicians’ concerns about liability to respond to alerts of suicidal risk. On the basis of the needs and preferences of adolescents, parents, and clinicians, a model for automated digital media monitoring is presented that aims to optimize acceptability within clinical care for suicidal youth.ConclusionsAutomated digital media monitoring offers a promising means to augment detection and response to suicidal risk within the clinical care of suicidal youth when strategies that address the preferences of adolescents, parents, and clinicians are in place.

IMPACT OF DIGITAL MEDIA ON STUDENTS’ ENGAGEMENT VIA E-LEARNING: A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW USING BIBLIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The conventional learning style and engagement of students has changed since the inception of digital media. The present paper purpose is to delve into the literature of the last decade and to track the progression of digital media in context to student's engagement in e-learning through critically accessing the literature. The study was conducted with 300 published articles based on the selected keyword ‘Digital Media’, ‘Students Engagement’, and ‘E-Learning’ in the last 10 years. Researchers systematically analyzed the articles, following type and period of publication; publisher wise; citations, publishers, and years; authors; titles; and top journals to identify the impact of Digital Media. The finding provides the role of Digital media and its impact on E-Learning patterns of students. Furthermore, it is accommodating in comprehending the students in putting the knowledge gained through Digital Media to optimal use. Based on finding this platform can be enlarged to serve all streams of learning materials. Confiding Digital Media only for Learning of Students could be considered a narrow approach, hence part from selected keyword studies could also be conducted. The present research will help future researchers and academician to have a clear understanding of Digital Media to utilize it as learning.

As mídias digitais na pré-escola: uma análise a partir da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC)

O artigo defende que a pré-escola se aproxime das inclinações e oportunidades intrínsecas às mídias digitais. O objetivo é analisar se intentos na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) corroboram com esse movimento aproximativo. Para isso, num movimento reflexivo discute-se sobre as ‘competências gerais’, os ‘direitos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento’ e os ‘campos de experiências’ definidos na BNCC, com intuito de perceber possíveis aproximações entre a Educação Infantil (EI) e o contexto das mídias digitais. Constata-se que há uma relação paradoxal na BNCC entre aquilo que as competências gerais recomendam acerca das mídias digitais para toda a Educação Básica e aquilo que é proposto na própria base nacional, especificamente, para a EI. Paradoxos nesse sentido só fortalecem ainda mais o distanciamento existente entre a pré-escola e as mídias digitais em suas oportunidades e inclinações. Com isso, conclui-se que um movimento de aproximação entre pré-escola e mídias digitais demanda esforços investigativos que contraponham o distanciamento que ainda persiste na contemporaneidade.

Social media dissidence and activist resistance in Zimbabwe

Dissidents exist in every nation, always have, and perhaps always will – existing in that risky space between being patriots and being enemies of the state. Social media, on the other hand, is a fairly recent tool of communication defined by its heightened ductility in the hands of users. The admixture of social media and political dissidence has thrown many governments in a ceaseless panic, reflected in the raft of legislation enacted to control and constrain cyber activities. This paper studied the ‘social media dissidence’ phenomenon in Zimbabwe in the period 2016 within the context of digital media and the publics in Africa. The periodization understudy is noticeable because it bore witness to a variety of unsettling acts by individuals that provoked panicked responses from the state. Using qualitative data drawn from Facebook and Twitter and deploying Mamdani’s citizen and subject, the study examines the nature of the born-digital dissidence in a sample of two cases, #ThisFlag and #Tajamuka. The paper establishes the possibilities and limitations of deploying social media as a tool for expressing protest and dissidence. The study found that social media dissidence is marked by constant fluidity, transmogrification, crests, and troughs.

Gendered (in)visibility in digital media contexts

In digital media environments, gendered inequalities can be observed on the level of representation and participation in online discussions and digital communities as well as regarding the prevalence of gender norms in self-presentations, and power relations in social interactions. The #MeToo debate exemplifies how gendered inequalities become visible in social media but also reveals the increasing hostility against women online. Drawing on the concept of digital visibility and informed by theoretical perspectives on gendered digital visibility from gender and feminist research and media and communication studies, the article reviews current research and identifies three distinct processes that characterize gendered digital visibility: (1) replication, (2) reinforcement, and (3) resilience. In doing so, the article proposes a taxonomy of research on gendered digital visibility. Findings highlight the ambivalence of women’s participation in online discussions as well as the replication and reinforcement of gender norms through digital technology. Moreover, interrelatedness of these processes and implications for future research are discussed.

Climate risks, digital media, and big data: following communication trails to investigate urban communities' resilience

Abstract. Today, when extreme weather affects an urban area, huge numbers of digital data are spontaneously produced by the population on the Internet. These “digital trails” can provide insight into the interactions existing between climate-related risks and the social perception of these risks. According to this research “big data” exploration techniques can be exploited to monitor these interactions and their effect on urban resilience. The experiments presented in this paper show that digital research can amplify key issues covered by digital media and identify the stakeholders that can influence the debate, and therefore the community's attitudes towards an issue. Three corpora of Web communication data have been extracted: press articles covering the June 2016 Seine River flood, press articles covering the October 2015 Alpes-Maritimes flood, and tweets on the 2016 Seine River flood. The analysis of these datasets involved an iteration between manual and automated extraction of hundreds of key terms, aggregated analysis of publication incidence and key term incidence, graph representations based on measures of semantic proximity (conditional distance) between key terms, automated visualisation of clusters through Louvain modularity, visual observation of the graph, and quantitative analysis of its nodes and edges. Through this analysis we detected topics and actors that characterise each press dataset, as well as frequent co-occurrences and clusters of topics and actors. Profiling of social media users gave us insights into who could influence opinions on Twitter. Through a comparison of the three datasets, it was also possible to observe how some patterns change over time, in different urban areas and in different digital media contexts.

The rise of skepticism in Spanish political and digital media contexts

Currently in Spain, there is a political and social debate over the use and sale of homeopathic products, which is promoted mainly by the skeptical movement. For the first time, this issue has become significant in political discourse. This study analyzes the role that homeopathy-related stories are playing in that political debate. We analyzed the viewpoints of headlines between 2015 and 2017 in eight digital dailies (n = 1,683), which published over 30 stories on homeopathy during the three-year study period. The results indicated that the stance on therapy's lack of scientific evidence gained ground during the period studied.

Sexting as sexual stigma: The paradox of sexual self-representation in digital youth cultures

Drawing on focus group research (N = 39) with young people between 15 and 18 years old in Dutch-speaking Belgium, this article looks at sexting in the context of early social constructionist work on (sexual) stigma. Considering the context of digital media, which are used by young people to express themselves sexually, this contribution explores why stigma surrounds sexual self-representation in digital media and youth cultures. The findings illustrate how young people’s discourse creates a consistent ideology, defining sexting as a violation of the norm of ‘good’ online conduct, while normalizing stigmatizing responses to sexting (e.g. shaming and bullying). Perceptions of social media affordances, societal responses and surrounding cultural values to sexting were found to be crucial sources of knowledge used to make sense of sexting as stigma.

Coming to Terms with Shame: Exploring Mediated Visibility against Transgressions

Shaming in a social context is necessarily assembled, as it depends on a loosely and often spontaneously arranged network of actors to convey denunciation. Digital tools further the expansion of such networks, a development that is of particular concern for surveillance scholars. This paper seeks to advance an account of user-led surveillance of peers that is centred on the enactment and experience of shame, notably as such practices can mobilise and be mobilised by press and state-led initiatives. Drawing on literature that considers shaming in criminological, journalistic, and digital media contexts, it considers tensions and other developments among a range of social actors who perform shaming. Recent examples in the Dutch context support an understanding of shaming as a process that enrols a set of social actors to stigmatise and exclude (categories of) individuals under scrutiny.

The building blocks of digital media literacy: socio-material participation and the production of media knowledge

This article outlines the knowledge and skills students develop when they engage in digital media production and analysis in school settings. The metaphor of ‘digital building blocks’ is used to describe the material practices, conceptual understandings and production of knowledge that lead to the development of digital media literacy. The article argues that the two established approaches to media literacy education, critical reading and media production, do not adequately explain how students develop media knowledge. It suggests there has been too little focus on material practices and how these relate to the development of conceptual understanding in media learning. The article explores empirical evidence from a four-year investigation in a primary school in Queensland, Australia using actor–network theory to explore ‘moments of translation’ as students deploy technologies and concepts to materially participate in digital culture. A generative model of media learning is presented with four categories of building blocks that isolate the specific skills and knowledge that can be taught and learnt to promote participation in digital media contexts: digital materials, conceptual understandings, media production and media analysis. The final section of the article makes initial comments on how the model might become the basis for curriculum development in schools and argues that further empirical research needs to occur to confirm the model’s utility.

Shelf-Life: Biopolitics, the New Media Archive, and 'Paperless' Persons

Through the writings of Adorno, Benjamin, and Derrida, and the films of Alain Resnais, this essay considers the construction of the subject through state-sanctioned forms of inscription - passports, for example. Such forms, traditionally speaking, are aspects of the technologies of the book - the biblion - and they indicate that 'biopolitics' merges with bibliopolitics. Indeed, the subject is a matter of 'shelf-life': it is constructed through archival forms of collection; by the bibliotekhe - the 'slot' or shelf where documents are placed. Yet peoples and texts may not fit normative taxonomies, in traditional and digital media contexts. In the context of historical diasporas, for example, we might recall Derrida's argument that, like the peoples referred to as the sans-papiers, those without state-sanctioned documents, we are all becoming 'paperless', as external memory becomes virtual. The essay is concerned, then, with what happens when the subject is no longer substantiated by traditional legal papers, but by digital files and memory chips; while it argues also that the distinction between traditional and digital media cannot be reduced to a linear history.

Convergence and memory: journalism, context and history

Nunca em tempos históricos esteve nossa sociedade tão envolvida e ocupada em processos de produção de memória; nunca o estoque de memória social esteve tão fácil e rapidamente disponível e nunca esteve o jornalismo – enquanto prática social - tão centralmente localizado em meio a tudo isso. Partindo desta tese, e no contexto das mídias digitais, este ensaio explora as recentes transformações nas relações entre Memória e Jornalismo, tanto no que diz respeito à concepção do Jornalismo enquanto um repositório de memória para a produção de relatos históricos, quanto no que diz respeito aos padrões do trabalho de memória acionados na própria produção dos textos jornalísticos.
