legal scholar and associate professor of communication, analyzed how
courts have applied laws and a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case to the
2017 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Jan. 6
insurrection and storming of the U.S. Capitol. To redress their
grievances, plaintiffs have filed civil conspiracy lawsuits instead of
invoking the 1968 Anti-Riot Act. Under the Brandenburg test for
incitement, established by a 1969 U.S. Supreme Court case, it is
difficult for plaintiffs to prove the defendants intended to incite
violence. Regardless of the legal outcome, plaintiffs may hope to turn
high-profile civil trials into public forums to increase attention and
understanding about the cases.

investigating how public opinion about facial recognition technology
(FRT) is influenced by the use of different forms of media. The study
drew on original data from two nationally representative surveys of the
U.S. public in 2020, amid a series of controversies and protests about
policing and racial justice. <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/prbrewer">Paul Brewer</a></strong>, professor of communication, and <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/jbinga" target="_blank">James Bingaman</a></strong>, a communication Ph.D. student, led the study with support from <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/wyattd" target="_blank">Wyatt Dawson</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/paintsil" target="_blank">Ashley Paintsil</a></strong>, both Ph.D. students, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcwilsonphd/">David C.

demonstrated that overall television viewing and crime media viewing
predicted support for multiple uses of FRT, while Fox News viewing
predicted support for using FRT to monitor protests. The study has
advanced the understanding of public opinion toward the technology and
its implications for policing, protests and social justice.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=288 | |
| UD joins team researching health discrimination | UD joins team researching health discrimination | ;bleakley;jpcrow; | 2/17/2023 5:00:00 AM | | <p>In response to alarming statistics about health disparities in the
LGBTQ+ community, a multi-institutional research team — including two
University of Delaware researchers — tested the effectiveness of social
support in decreasing stress among individuals who had experienced hate
speech. The results showed that effective support decreased stress and
increased general wellbeing over one month. <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/jpcrow" title="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/jpcrow">John P. Crowley</a></strong>, associate professor of communication, was the principal investigator for the team, which included <strong><a href="https://www.communication.udel.edu/people/bleakley">Amy Bleakley</a></strong>,
professor of communication. The researchers recruited 50 individuals to
participate in recorded 10-minute conversations about painful
experiences with discrimination. They collected saliva samples from the
participants before and after the conversations to measure physiological
reactivity to stress. Participants completed surveys before and after
the conversations, and again one month later, to evaluate general
wellbeing.

| Bleakley authors new study | Bleakley authors new study | | 11/11/2022 5:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Amy Bleakley</strong>, professor of communication, is the first author of a
new study conducted by researchers from UD and the University of
Pennsylvania in 2020 to identify and understand beliefs that may
influence decisions to join an Alzheimer’s disease research registry.
The results were published in the <em><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35811525/">Journal of Alzheimer’s Research</a></em>
in August 2022. The rate of Alzheimer’s disease is higher among African
Americans and Hispanics than it is for white non-Hispanic adults.
Despite the higher risk, underrepresented groups are less likely to
enroll in Alzheimer’s research. The study was part of a larger project
funded by the National Institute on Aging to increase diversity in
recruitment registries that feed into Alzheimer’s prevention research.
The team includes researchers from UD, Banner’s Alzheimer’s Institute,
the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California at San
Francisco. Findings indicated there were fewer racial and ethnic
differences in beliefs about joining a registry than initially
anticipated, and the results informed additional data collection efforts
with the goal of designing effective recruitment messages.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=253 | |

The increased use of video-mediated communication (VMC) due
to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread acceptance of mediated
healthcare appointments. Mental health care is one area in which
researchers might examine the effects of VMC. This study employed an
experiment to test the relative influence of video therapists’ eye
contact and gesture on a patient. The results contribute to
understanding how nonverbal cues impact health outcomes in VMC.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=245 | |
