Building Broski Nation: How Brittany Broski Fosters Parasocial Relationships Through TikTok
Get PDFThis study delves into the concept of parasocial relationships (PSR) in the 21st century, specifically how social media influencers employ parasocial interaction (PSI) tactics on TikTok to form these relationships. This study explores the affordances of direct contact that TikTok allows for and its influence on PSR/PSI. This was able to be done by using popular TikTok influencer Brittany Broski’s “spam” account as a case study. I coded specific PSI tactics and tracked how these tactics correlated to the engagement metrics of her videos. As well as, content analyzing four specific organic and sponsored posts to see how these tactics are utilized in high and low performing videos. While also examining the audience’s reactions to these posts. Specifically in the sponsored posts I explore how PSIs are used and perceived in a marketing context. This study contributes to the overall understanding of the affordances TikTok in the means of direct communication between fan and media figure, often unavailable during prior studies on PSR. Thus seeing the potential impact this has on the future of TikTok, PSR, and the use of influencer marketing
Exploring the Potential Effect of Google Chrome’s Removal of Third-Party Cookies on Paid Display Advertising
Get PDFThe digital marketing industry continues to experience tremendous challenges caused by rising consumer privacy concerns. One of the industry’s most notable challenges revolves around the constant technological advancements and changes that these advancements pose on the advertiser’s strategies. My study explores the relationship between advertising expenditure and key performance indicators, such as impressions in paid display advertising. Google Chrome’s removal of third-party cookies could potentially affect this relationship. I chose this topic because of my passion for online consumer behavior and the role of technology and advertising in the continually evolving field of my study, where consumers’ behavior plays a significant role as they continue to worry about their data usage. My study relied on the quantitative methodology, utilizing a descriptive correlation analysis through a scatter plot and a statistical analysis of a linear regression model to study the effect of Google Chrome’s third-party cookie removal on the relationship between advertising expenditure and impressions before and after Google introduced the “Tracking Protection” phase in January 2024. To answer my research question, I studied the dataset of 360 observations on 30 automobile companies in the United States from April 2023 to March 2024. The findings of my analysis revealed that advertising expenditure continues to be a strong predictor of impressions, despite the removal of third-party cookies by Google. However, the findings from my research question have shown that the event being the removal of third-party cookies for 1 percent of Google Chrome’s population worldwide currently does not affect the performance of paid display advertising. This study contributes to the academic literature by providing empirical evidence on the effect of consumer privacy changes on paid display advertising. Future research is strongly encouraged to study the long-term impact of Google\u27s Tracking Protection phase on paid display advertising performance by considering more observations after the event\u27s occurrence, a larger poll of global Google Chrome users, and studying the event\u27s impact across different industries. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of consumer privacy changes on the digital marketing industry

Examining Parent Stress and Shifts in Parenting Values: A Comparison of Community Samples of Parents of Young Children Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic and resulting governmental measures to curb the spread of the disease dramatically altered lifestyle patterns of families of young children, creating unprecedented demands on parents and families. The present study, based on a quasi-experimental design, investigates differences in perceptions of the importance of positive and negative parenting behaviors from extant samples taken prior to and within the first 8 months of the pandemic. A total of 2,215 parents were surveyed across the combined time periods. Two-Way Factorial ANOVA were utilized to compare mean differences in importance ratings across time period and child age (infant/toddler and preschooler). Analyses indicated significant mean differences in importance ratings of positive and negative parenting behaviors likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic
THE RIGHT TO HAVE RIGHTS OR THE RIGHT TO HAVE LIFE? AN ASSESSMENT OF PROACTIVE CITIZENSHIP-STRIPPING TO FULFILL THE STATE DUTY OF NON-REFOULMENT
Get PDFEspecially since the collapse of the Islamic State Caliphate in 2019, a fierce debate has arisen in international legal policy and within domestic governments about what to do with citizens who have committed acts of terror abroad. While repatriation and extradition are possible solutions, many States have refused to repatriate some citizens back and have revoked their nationalities such that those individuals are unable to return to their citizenship-country to face prosecution and/or punishment. Citizenship-stripping, however, may not always be legal. But if a State contends instead that it must deprive the citizen of nationality because, in being repatriated back to the home-State to face prosecution, the citizen will be at risk of violations of due process, torture, or the death penalty, can the international duty of non-refoulement be used to validly deny the individual his right to nationality?
Perhaps, but there will be a striking clash between a State’s duty of non-refoulement through proactive citizenship-stripping and its duty to respect a citizen’s right to nationality, to ensure an individual’s safety within a foreign State, and to guard against the imposition of statelessness. The ultimate tension between these elements reflects the reality that fulfilling some international legal obligations may come at the expense of others. Proactive citizenship-stripping may prevent refoulement, subsequently sparing the life and dignity of the FTF, but it may also deny the FTF various other entitlements, including the rights to nationality and repatriation and the freedom from statelessness
LGBTQ+ Individuals’ Experiences of Involuntary Disclosure
No full textWithin the LGBTQ+ community, the coming out process is not only considered a primary milestone, but also a complex, individualized experience. Researchers have found that individuals’ coming out experiences vary drastically depending on their age of coming out as well as on others’ responses, settings of disclosure, and level of comfort with one’s own sexual orientation. LGBTQ+ individuals experience their own internal coming out process to further understand their sexual orientation before they can engage in the external coming out process; all of which impacts their decision of whether to disclose their sexual orientation. A common fear within the LGBTQ+ community is involuntary disclosure. Throughout the literature, LGBTQ+ individuals, both adults and adolescents, express their concern of having their LGBTQ+ identity involuntarily disclosed. Although this is a common phenomenon within the LGBTQ+ community, there is minimal, if any, research on the experience and impact of involuntary disclosure (Eliason, 1996; Ragins, 2008; Marasco & Astramovich, 2021; Tuite et al., 2021). Thus, leading to the literary gap and research question: What are the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals whose sexual orientation was involuntarily disclosed? Members of the LGBTQ+ community (N = 14) who experienced involuntary disclosure completed in-depth, semi-structured interviews to better understand this phenomenon. While these participants’ identities and experiences were unique and varied, some of their experiences remained the same. Findings indicate that involuntary disclosure is a psychologically distressing experience of one’s LGBTQ+ identity being disclosed, questioned, or assumed without their prior knowledge, preparation or consent
The Federal Future of Medication Abortion
Get PDFA majority of Americans believe that there should be a right to abortion, at least in some cases. Yet a vocal and determined minority has its sights set on a complete ban on all abortions everywhere in the United States. In many states, these anti-abortion activists have achieved their goal through new laws and limitations enacted in the wake of the Supreme Court\u27s 2022 decision in Dobbs. Anti-abortion advocates are also challenging the Food and Drug Administration\u27s regulatory approval of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in medication abortion (also known as medical abortion). The FDA had initially approved mifepristone in 2000. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA also relaxed various dispensing requirements and permitted the medication to be prescribed via telemedicine and delivered by mail. In August 2023, the Fifth Circuit ruled in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA that challenges to mifepristone\u27s approval were likely time-barred, but that access to the medication should be restricted to those who make in-person visits to a doctor, among other limitations. The case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court
This Article makes three contributions to the national conversation about reproductive rights. First, it evaluates the arguments raised by both sides in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. Second, it recommends that mifepristone\u27s defenders focus on standing arguments if they wish to maintain the status quo. Third, the Article predicts that even if mifepristone\u27s defenders could persuasively argue that the plaintiffs were not entitled to rely on associational standing, there will be future plaintiffs with standing who are willing to take their place. In a future case, the Court might well find that challenges to the FDA\u27s initial approval of mifepristone are time-barred, but that the agency unlawfully relaxed dispensing and other requirements. It is almost certain that access to mifepristone will be restricted in the foreseeable future
