@journal-of-comm.bsky.social is currently rolling out a new special issue on #time -- we're really happy to contribute a #multiverse analysis on the role of time specifications in the study of media effects on well-being!

To investigate media effects, do we have to think more clearly about time ⌚? Our new publication in the 🎉*Journal of Communication*🎉 investigates how our conceptualizations of time can affect our conclusions: doi.org/10.1093/joc/... (1/6)

Possible futures all at once: time frame and time lag in short-term longitudinal media effects research on well-being

Abstract. When assessing media effects, we seldom consider how they change over time. Especially with the prevalence of smartphone use as short-lived, frag

This year, I am living in a simulation - literally. 🌀

@mscharkow.bsky.social, and I are currently conducting a #simulation study on how users interact with algorithms in short-video environments such as #TikTok. I’ve had two incredible opportunities to share our progress so far.

While the 'belief' plot draws attention, the core message of the final, deliberative consensus statements is that evidence linking smartphone and social media use to negative outcomes is limited, mixed, context-dependent, insufficient to support causal claims, and better research is needed.

Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel.bsky.social · May 15

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation?

This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change.

Ever read a psychological study and thought, “Wait… isn’t this just proving what we already knew?” Yeah, me too. So I wrote a paper about it. Turns out, asking “Are bad things bad?” isn’t groundbreaking. Features phubbing, technoference, & other pseudoempirical stars. tmb.apaopen.org/pub/5zfg49sw...

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives.

We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.
