Using cross-sectional data in communication studies remains common. While we now consciously acknowledge that correlation does not imply causation, how might the most classic media effects theories evolve with longitudinal data?

Thanks for your words. I was specifically looking for references to "qualitative content analysis," not just qualitative research in general.

Sam Chan 陳力深 @liksamchan.bsky.social · Jun 24

One of my students talked about 'qualitative content analysis'. Coming from communication studies from HK, UK, and the US, I have never learned of this. Could anyone point me to any authoritative source on this method?

Couldn’t put this book down once I started. It’s amazing on so many levels—one standout is how it frames visits to themed cafe-bars as a form of "healing," addressing both Japan’s stagnant economic conditions and the precarity faced by visitors. Brilliantly conceived.

In this research, we found that dating apps had a negative association with body satisfaction among young MSM, but we also found that creating spaces to expand their social circles and connect with diverse peer groups can help counter the negative influence of dating apps.. doi.org/10.1007/s131...

The Association Between Dating App Usage and Body Image Dissatisfaction among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men in Hong Kong: A Mixed Methods Study - Sexuality Research and Social Policy

Introduction Recent studies show that men who have sex with men (MSM) face body image concerns. This research examines the link between dating app usage and body image dissatisfaction among young MSM ...

Just read a paper whose author claimed that Taiwanese gay men who want to get married, but whose mainland Chinese boyfriends don't (or can't), are marginalizing Chinese gay men and imposing a Western ideology.

I’m excited to share my graduate student Don Chui's research on queer men’s consumption of BL in Hong Kong! Her work situates the reading practice within the context of Hong Kong's limited progress in queer rights.

I am working on a media psychology study. Reviewer #2 suggested that my discussion should be framed specifically within the context of HK. This feedback made me wonder how often studies based on US data limit their discussions exclusively to the US context - almost never, right?

New CDC data is out on youth mental health. Unsurprisingly, the biggest issues have nothing to do with social media. If only we could actually convince policymakers to invest in the actual problems that youth face. For a great topline look at the new data, see: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Why the latest CDC teen mental health report is a politically inconvenient bombshell for crusading California pols

The report reveals that teens’ use of social media is more complicated than the simplistic campaigns to restrict access recognize.
