(5) As a complement to my substantive studies, I have done original methodological work on establishing the validity and reliability of media exposure measures, as well as learning the methods appropriate to studying the interaction of media exposure and social contexts: macro-level measurement and multi-level modeling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cff3f82 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"cff3f82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-quote-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c6cd78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c6cd78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n<p><strong><i class=\"research-title\">Interplay between Communication Behaviors and Social Environments.<\/i>&nbsp;<\/strong>My research mainly focuses on how communication behaviors manifest their influences in the context of the audience\u2019s social environment, including social networks, as well as the community\u2019s physical environment, social structure, and social cohesion (e.g., social capital). In particular, I explored how individuals\u2019 use of media for health information and interpersonal health communication interact and jointly influence healthy lifestyle behaviors (Kam &amp; Lee, 2013; Lee, 2009). Building on this study, I examined the interactive effects of media exposure and social capital at both individual and community levels on interpersonal health communication and healthy lifestyle behaviors (Lee, 2014; Lee &amp; Kam, 2015; Lee &amp; Kim, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>Second, the role of communication is not sufficiently appreciated in studies of social capital and health. I argue that communication scholarship can complement the existing studies in this area, by exploring how media exposure interacts with macro-social factors, such as state- and county-level social capital (Lee, 2014; Lee &amp; Kim, 2013). This will move the communication field forward, as well, given that most studies examining the role of an audience\u2019s social contexts in media effects have focused mainly on the audience\u2019s proximate social environment.<\/p>\n<p>Third, to understand the processes surrounding the translation of the concept of social capital into communication, I conducted a citation network analysis and a citation content analysis of communication articles on social capital (Lee &amp; Sohn, 2016). This paper revealed the structure of the literature of social capital in communication. To be more specific, I examined which articles have been heavily cited by social capital researchers in communication and demonstrate the extent to which communication scholars have utilized social capital in a way that marginalizes Bourdieu\u2019s conception of social capital, thereby arguing that communication scholars should expand the scope of their social capital research.<\/p><p>By redressing limitations of the existing research, I believe that my research program contributes to the disciplines of communication, public health, and medical sociology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ccbbe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ccbbe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i class=\"research-title\"><strong>The Roles of Communication in Eliminating Health Disparities.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i> In my second line of research, I investigate the roles that communication plays in redressing health disparities. First, I have examined whether and how the effects of the VERB campaign differed across socioeconomic status (SES) and racial\/ethnic groups (Pena-y-Lillo &amp; Lee, 2019). Using a three-wave longitudinal survey dataset, we found that the VERB campaign messages were more likely to reach Caucasian children, those from high income households, and those with more educated parents. Also, high income and Caucasian children were more successful than were low income and racial\/ethnic minority children in turning their intentions into the actual practice of organized time physical activity. Based on these findings, I contend that disparities in physical activities across SES and racial\/ethnic groups can be explained at least in part by the communication inequalities.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moreover, I have examined whether media coverage of health disparities and interpersonal communication about this issue can cultivate public support for policies intended to address health disparities and personal activism to mitigate this problem (Lee, Bigman, Choi, &amp; Zhao, 2022). By analyzing the data from a survey with a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults, we found that communication can play an important role in eliminating health disparities by forming favorable attitudes toward government policies to address health disparities and increasing personal activism. This study well demonstrates that health educators and public health practitioners should consider communication not only as an educational tool but also as a political weapon (i.e., media advocacy) in solving such a serious public health problem as health disparities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fb01d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4fb01d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><i class=\"research-title\">Effects of Misinformation and Contradictory Information.<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0By collaborating with my colleagues, such as Andy Tan at the University of Pennsylvania, Cabral Bigman at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Rebekah Nagler at the University of Minnesota, I have explored the effects of exposure to contradictory information on health-related beliefs and attitudes, and behaviors in the contexts of nutrition and e-cigarettes using either longitudinal panel survey (Lee, Nagler, &amp; Wang, 2018; Tan, Lee, &amp; Bigman, 2015) or randomized controlled experiment (Tan, Lee, Nagler, &amp; Bigman, 2017).<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moreover, my colleagues and I have looked at diverse effects of exposure to misinformation and its mechanisms in the context of cancer, using data from a longitudinal panel survey with a nationally representative survey with U.S. adults (Tan, Lee, &amp; Chae, 2015). My colleagues and I also examined the mechanisms underlying the disparities in beliefs in cancer-related misinformation across different SES and racial\/ethnic groups using data from a nationally representative survey with U.S. adults, and found that both cancer information overload and health literacy at least in part accounted for the effects of SES and race\/ethnicity on beliefs in cancer-related misinformation (Lee, Kim, &amp; Ko, under review). Most recently, my colleague and I found that social media use positively influences beliefs in HPV-vaccine-related misinformation, which in turn negatively affects support for policies intended to support HPV vaccination, and that this mediation was detected only among people with low levels of trust in public agents managing HPV vaccination (Oh, Lee, &amp; Park, 2022).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd6bf56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd6bf56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><div class=\"space\"><p><strong style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"><i class=\"research-title\">Health &amp; Science Journalism.<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"> In addition to my main research interests, by employing survey methods and quantitative content analysis, I investigate how U.S. media report health and science-related issues, how people think about and feel about these issues on social media, and how such media coverage and social media messages influence people\u2019s beliefs about and attitudes towards these issues. First, using data from a national telephone survey, Dietram A. Scheufele, Bruce V. Lewenstein, and I found that emotional heuristics moderated the effect that knowledge about nanotechnology has on people\u2019s overall attitudes toward nanotechnology, with knowledge having a weaker effect on attitudes for people who show strong emotional reactions to the topic (Lee &amp; Scheufele, 2006; Lee, Scheufele, &amp; Lewenstein, 2005).<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Jean Brechman, Joseph N. Cappella, and I also examined the presentation of cancer genetics (i.e., genetic influences on prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, smoking and obesity) in academic journals, press releases, and newspapers. Central claims, expressing gene-outcome relationships, were extracted and evaluated. We found that the intermediary press release may serve as a source of distortion in the dissemination of science to the lay public (Brechman, Lee, &amp; Cappella, 2009, 2011).<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Jeff Niederdeppe and I analyzed data from a two-wave national representative survey and demonstrated that local TV news cultivates fatalistic beliefs about cancer prevention over time (Lee &amp; Niederdeppe, 2011). Assuming that some problematic characteristics of local TV cancer news may cause fatalistic beliefs about cancer prevention, Marilee Long, Michael Slater, Wen Song, and I compared local TV news with national TV news in terms of cancer coverage using a nationally representative sample of local nightly TV and national network TV cancer news stories (Lee, Long, Slater, &amp; Song, 2014). Compared to national TV news, local TV cancer stories were (a) much shorter in length, (b) less likely to report on cancer prevention, and (c) less likely to reference national organizations that have made clear recommendations about ways to prevent cancer.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Most recently, I am currently analyzing social media messages about AI using unsupervised machine learning techniques (e.g., topic modeling), and both manual- and automated content analysis.

Moreover, I test the effects of exposure to misinformation and\/or contradictory information in the contexts of nutrition, e-cigarette, and cancer, using either longitudinal panel survey or randomized controlled experiment.

I then summarize the roles of social capital in public health communication. Based on these, I will propose a theoretical model that may account for how and why social capital matters in public health communication, thereby providing directions for future research. This paper will serve as a roadmap for my future research in this area. Second, by adopting the Bourdieu\u2019s approach to social capital, I will keep testing the role of social capital measured via position generator in ameliorating or exacerbating the pre-existing health disparities. My colleagues and I, for instance, are exploring how social capital is related to health information acquisition from the media and health professionals, and whether these relationships are moderated by health literacy. Also, I am focusing on the mediating roles of social capital in the associations between media exposure and socioeconomic disparities in fruit and vegetable consumption. Third, I will provide more empirical evidence of the roles of social capital and interpersonal health communication in public health communication, by utilizing campaign evaluation surveys (e.g., Legacy Media Tracking Survey, Youth Media Campaign Longitudinal Survey) and nationally representative surveys (e.g., Health Information National Trends Survey).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Second, I will explore whether there are gaps in terms of exposure to the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s (FDA) \u201cThe Real Cost\u201d campaign messages across SES and racial\/ethnic groups. More importantly, I will test whether the effects of \u201cThe Real Cost\u201d campaign on smoking-related cognitions and behaviors differed across SES and racial\/ethnic groups. Also, using the ad purchase data capturing the potential campaign exposure at a community level, I will explore whether campaign-specific information environment may have reinforcing or substituting influences on the associations between self-reported individual-level campaign exposure and its intended outcomes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Third, I will continue with my research on the effects of contradictory information and misinformation in the contexts of science and health. One of my ongoing projects aims to examine the indirect effects of COVID-19-related misinformation and contradictory information on protective behaviors recommended by the public health agencies. This project includes measures of (1) patterns and levels of exposure to COVID-19-related misinformation and contradictory information, (2) size and diversity of health-related social networks, types of social support, and online and offline social capital, (3) COVID-19-related beliefs, and (4) COVID-19-related coping behaviors and behavioral intentions. I am now collecting data by conducting a two-wave panel survey through the online survey firm in South Korea, Embrain.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to these substantive studies, I will keep improving my methodical and statistical skills needed to validate my theoretical accounts in the most rigorous manner. In particular, I will keep learning the most advanced techniques available in Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Also, I will keep applying and modifying computational social science methods to study communication processes and effects in the digital era.
