Book Reimagining Communication in a Post pandemic World  The Intersection of Information  Media Technology  and Psychology

Download or read book Reimagining Communication in a Post pandemic World The Intersection of Information Media Technology and Psychology written by Runxi Zeng and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed social interactions. Social distancing policies, lockdowns, and mandatory quarantines have accelerated the technological mediation of communication (e.g. AI-mediated communication, computer-mediated communication) on an unprecedented scale, willingly or otherwise. Many physical activities such as office work, education, and conferences have had to be performed in the online space through social media apps, the metaverse or specialized programs on mobile phones or laptops as part of pandemic control efforts. As a result, digitally mediated channels have become critical for information acquisition and communication across a wide spectrum of human activities such as education, social interaction, entertainment, and commercial activities. Human beings are increasingly reliant on non-human agents, including social media, Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tools, or smartphone mobile devices for most routine activities, professional communication, and social interactions. As scientific understanding of COVID-19 improves, pandemic restrictions are gradually loosening. However, it remains to be seen whether the pandemic communication paradigm characterized by heavy technological mediation and reliance on non-human agents will also gradually decline, or will the paradigm shift become deeply entrenched with further acceleration of dependency on technological mediation and non-human agents.

Book Coping with Perceived Disagreement

Download or read book Coping with Perceived Disagreement written by Hyungjin Gill and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OSROR model of communication effects has repeatedly suggested political discussion (R1), knowledge and efficacy (O2) as significant mediators through which news media use facilitates political participation. The present study contends that the application of the well-established OSROR framework to research linking social media use and citizen engagement may not wholly address social media's implications for a desired democratic citizenry in an age of growing partisan divide and political mis/disinformation. In an attempt to offer a more comprehensive understanding on the potential influence of social media on democracy, this dissertation aims to reimagine the communication mediation model of social media effect on participation by incorporating recent insights on (1) social media's potential to promote exposure to political disagreements and (2) the negative effect of social media use on political learning. Using a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults, this study finds that perceiving disagreements on social media positively moderates the path from social media use to the frequency of political talk (S-R1), and suggests that the positive effect of political discussion on internal efficacy (R1-O2) may depend on the level of perceived knowledge, underlining the little role that factual political knowledge plays in the pathways from social media use to civic participation. Implications of these findings and future research directions are discussed.

Book Transnational Communication and Identity Construction in Diaspora

Download or read book Transnational Communication and Identity Construction in Diaspora written by Merga Yonas Bula and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was sparked by the absence of literature on transnational masspersonal communication (tmc) of ‘Eritrean’, ‘Ethiopian’, Oromo, and Somali diaspora communities. To bridge this theoretical gap, an empirical study was conducted at meso-level based on three questions: (a) what topics do people in the diaspora communities discuss in relation to their homelands via social media – an alternative for tmc; (b) how do they communicate about their homelands’ issues in relation to their collective identities; and (c) how does this communication enable the construction of their own identity as well as the deconstruction of competing identities. The theoretical analysis from the perspective of these questions led to developing own model, i.e., the Diasporic Identity Construction in Transnational Masspersonal Communication Model (DICTMCM). This model, which connects the theoretical analysis to the empirical study, argues that their communication in relation to their homelands, particularly about their collective identities, consists not only of what they talk but also of how they converse. As a result, the empirical results delivered a comparative analysis of the tmc of these four diaspora communities and how they construct their collective identities via this tmc, which bridged the above stated gap.

Book Communication and Conflict Studies

Download or read book Communication and Conflict Studies written by Adrienne P. Lamberti and published by Palgrave Pivot. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores relations between communication and conflict. How one thinks about communication is demonstrated as shaping how one approaches conflict, and vice versa. Individuals engaged in conflict transformation apply the tools and strategies of their field while communicating to widely divergent audiences. Professional communicators not only create an infinite range of documents to help ensure that work is accomplished effectively, efficiently, and safely, but also address conflicts in the workplace and in the public sphere. Thoughtfully exploring connections between communication studies and conflict studies, this collection engages with research and practice on topics including the potential of social media during revolution, the role of gender during mediation, and the importance of critical genre usage during industrial crisis.

Book Reimagining the Court of Protection

Download or read book Reimagining the Court of Protection written by Jaime Lindsey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the first researchers authorised to observe hearings and access court files at the Court of Protection, Jaime Lindsey offers an original account and analysis of the workings of this court. Using data collected with the approval from the senior judiciary of the Court of Protection and the Ministry of Justice, this innovative book combines empirical data with theoretical and normative analysis. It takes a socio-legal approach to understanding how the Mental Capacity Act operates in practice to achieve access to justice and situates current debates within an international context, showing how other jurisdictions have been guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Furthering scholarship across several fields including access to justice, healthcare law and procedural justice theory, this is a timely and pioneering book that argues for a reimagining of the Court of Protection.

Book Reimagining Management in the post VUCA World

Download or read book Reimagining Management in the post VUCA World written by Samik Shome and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains 27 papers in all. The papers included in this volume provide various facets of the management perspectives in the field of human resources, corporate governance, sustainability, entrepreneurship and gig economy, among others. Admittedly, in a multi-author book such as this, a divergence of topics and issues as well as views on a given topic or issue is inevitable. The book encompasses in its fold a wide range of business and policy issues in the Indian setup. Further, in view of the fact that the various papers included in the present volume are authored by researchers with diverse interests and backgrounds, it is not surprising that each paper may look unique even in terms of its structure of presentation, too. In such a situation, the editor’s dilemma should not be difficult to imagine for the reader. As editors of this volume, therefore, we deliberately preferred to keep the author’s style, arguments or conclusions, intact. In more precise terms, the papers included in this volume are largely in their original form and content. Although we, not being completely oblivious of our editorial responsibilities, have attempted some cosmetic aesthetics here and there in respect of some papers.

Download or read book Conflict and Communication written by Fred E. Jandt and published by Cognella Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict and Communication acknowledges the inevitable presence of conflict in our lives and the role good communication plays in managing conflict to cultivate a healthier, happier existence. The book explores the ways in which we process and act on conflict, as well as how we can leverage a deeper understanding of our own thoughts and behaviors to reduce the amount and severity of conflict in our lives. Opening chapters provide a basis for understanding conflict - from an overview of conflict in our lives to an inventory of our individual power and conflict styles to the oft-overlooked role that culture plays in our understanding of conflict. Later chapters look at the practical application of these ideas in common settings such as negotiation, dealing with aggression, and mediation. A distinctive chapter on apology and forgiveness brings a very human, emotional element to the idea of conflict resolution. A professional mediator, author Fred E. Jandt includes many real-life examples of conflict throughout the text. The second edition features additional examples for deconstructing conflicts, integrated material on online resolution, and expanded coverage on conflicts in organizations and in the family. New Key Takeaways sections in each chapter help students apply newfound understanding and knowledge to real-life situations. Conflict and Communication equips students with research-based techniques, grounded in communication theory, to mitigate destructive consequences of conflict.
