The study was guided by a complementary application of both the uses and gratifications perspective and communication privacy management (CPM) theory. A central tenet of both theories suggests that people are variably active in their communication behavior. We identified five discrete blogger privacy rule orientations explaining different online choice-making practices: the self-centric, the utilitarian, the planner, the protector, and the unworried orientations toward blogging. We also identified six different motives for deleting previously-posted information: conflict management, protection of personal identity/safety, fear of retribution, employment security, impression management, emotional regulation, and relational cleansing. Path analysis revealed several direct and indirect paths among bloggers' motives for deleting previously posted material and their level of disinhibition, blogging privacy rule orientations, amount of time blogging, and privacy management practices. As use of social media increases, exploring variations in privacy management regulation practices is critical.

In this study, we explore the extent to which far more fundamental characteristics-genes-explain, in part, motives to use news media and frequency of news use. Utilizing original data collected on identical and fraternal twins (n =334),wefind that latent genetic traits explain a nontrivial amount of variance in two unique news use motives, surveillance and entertainment, as well as frequency of consumption across multiple news sources. Genetic traits were particularly influential in explaining the frequency of using sources commonly characterized as ideological, such as Fox News and CNN. User background characteristics are a central feature of audience-centered theories of media effects (Knobloch-Westerwick et al., 2020; Oliver & Krakowiak, 2009). The Uses and Gratifications (U&G) theoretical model, for example, begins with individual media users and assumes that their psychological and social differences guide media selection, shape patterns of consumption, and ultimately condition perceptual and behavioral outcomes of media use. More fundamentally, because U&G assumes that differences in background characteristics influence needs that manifest in motives to select media, in virtually any U&G study links between background characteristics, media use motives, and consumption must be examined.

The Act also provided employment discrimination protection to employees of Congress and some high-level political appointees. Lastly, Title VII and ADA coverage was extended to include American and American-controlled employers operating abroad.

There were 261 participants in this study. Overall, participants who perceived their face-to-face communication to be rewarding, used CMC for self-fulfillment, and disclosed their personal feelings to others tended to feel close to their online partners. Moreover, those who used the Internet for purposes of self-fulfillment and affection and intended to disclose their feelings to others felt satisfied with their online communication. The associations among the constructs extend our knowledge of the U&G theoretical model, how and why people communicate interpersonally in CMC settings, and the influence of individual differences on CMC for relational communication.

Media Use in a Political Context: An Intergroup Communication Perspective

Please check back later for the full article.Political membership of individuals and their identification with political parties and/or ideologies influence how they interact with members of their own group/party (in-group) and other groups/parties (out-groups). Such sense of “group-ness” (i.e., us vs. them) motivates people to find ways to posit their group in a positive light (i.e., in-group favoritism) and engage in attitudes and behaviors that help maintain a desired political group status. These attitudes and behaviors can include a positively biased attitude towards one’s own political group over the other groups, a tendency to seek information that confirms the viewpoints and reflects positive aspects of one’s own political group, or a perception that the media exhibit bias towards their political group. Hence, we can consider political activities and communication (inclu...

Viewer characteristics, rather than television exposure, were the most consistent predictors of fear, safety and faith in others.

Survey results suggested that traditional news sources (i.e., network television) were the source of content most often accessed on YouTube for political information. Participants used YouTube predominantly for habitual entertainment and information-seeking purposes. But there was a strong relationship between political surveillance motivation and
