The catcher in the lie: The role of emotions and epistemic judgments in changing students’ misconceptions and attitudes in a post-truth era

We extend previous theoretical and empirical work by examining the role that emotions and epistemic judgments play when learning from different refutation plus persuasive and expository plus persuasive texts. We examined how variations in messages designed to change misconceptions and attitudes about genetically modified foods (GMFs) might differentially impact the extent to which individuals engage in epistemic judgments; the emotions individuals experience during learning; and, how epistemic judgments and emotions might facilitate or constrain conceptual and attitudinal change. One hundred twenty-five undergraduate university students were randomly assigned to one of four text conditions: refutation plus positive persuasive text, refutation plus negative persuasive text, expository plus positive persuasive text, or expository plus negative persuasive text. Students were asked to think and emote out loud during learning to capture epistemic judgments and emotions as they occurred in real time. After the learning session, students also self-reported the emotions they experienced during learning. Results revealed that students who were given positive persuasive texts experienced more positive emotions (both intensity and frequency) during learning, whereas those who were given negative persuasive texts experienced more negative emotions (frequency) during learning. Students who were given positive persuasive texts engaged in more epistemic judgments and changed more misconceptions about GMFs compared to students in the other three text conditions. Finally, epistemic judgments were significant positive predictors of conceptual and attitudinal change, and both positive emotions and negative emotions predicted attitudinal change. Implications for theories of conceptual and attitudinal change are discussed.     

Best of both worlds or refusal to comply? The rich kids of Tehran on Instagram

ABSTRACT

This article offers a textual analysis and semiotic reading of the Rich Kids of Tehran's (RKOT’s) Instagram page. Contributing to scholarship on Iranian youth media practices, this article interrogates how the RKOT navigate urban and rural space to engage in everyday processes of resistance against global and local systemic oppression. Grounding their visual representations on Instagram in historical and cultural context, the author questions how and when quotidian actions are transformed into political transgressions when posted on social media. This article emphasizes the RKOT's agency in shaping their brand by analyzing representations of gender performance, intertextuality, and national identity on Instagram.     

新时代我国少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理研究

采用文献资料法等研究方法对新时代我国少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理进行研究，旨在为提高我国少数民族地区体育公共服务质量和建设体育强国提供建议。研究认为，少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理是基于我国社会分层的现状以及各阶层体育需求和参与特征存在的差异而采取的差异性治理方式，分层治理有"因层制宜"的意蕴，有利于促进我国少数民族地区体育公共服务均等化和改变少数民族地区体育公共服务"供给不足"和"供非所需"的困境。现阶段我国少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理的思路包括明确少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理主体责任、完善少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理资金保障机制、积极探索少数民族地区体育公共服务分层供给方式、构建少数民族地区体育公共服务分层治理协商机制、建立少数民族地区体育公共服务分层供给绩效评价体系。
