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.     

Food (in)security communication: a Journal of Applied Communication Research forum addressing current challenges and future possibilities

ABSTRACT

This forum brings together food, (in)security, and communication. The authors participating in this forum center communication as both process and tool for understanding, mitigating, and making meaning of food (in)security. The nine authors together discuss the role of communication in food (in)security, the central challenges for scholars and practitioners working on food (in)security, and the creative possibilities and impacts influencing the future of food (in)security. The forum produces a call for applied scholars to re-imagine communication frameworks in order to make meaningful differences in their communities.

对新规则下直拍进攻型打法发展趋势的研究

直拍进攻型打法曾经是我国乒坛的主流打法,由于缺乏创新,在近10多年一直不太景气.但是,直拍进攻型打法有其特定的优势,具有很强的抗争能力,只要创新技术、加强实力,就能登上世界乒坛的最高峰;诚然,它自身的确也存在着很多问题,加上11分赛制和无遮挡发球的实行,必定会给这种打法带来一些影响(正负双方面).因此,在新形势下对直拍进攻型打法进行进一步的深入剖析和探讨,成为我国乒坛亟待解决的课题.通过对世界优秀男子直拍进攻型打法选手的技战术进行统计与分析,并走访乒乓界权威人士和有关专家,对新规则带来的一些问题和该打法今后的发展趋势进行深入分析与探讨,为进一步提高我国直拍进攻型打法的技术水平提供科学理论和参考依据.
