Abstract

COVID-19 related health disparities are prevalent among higher risk populations like the Hispanic community. Vaccination is one readily available public health tool, yet vaccine uptake is lower among minority populations and hesitations and concerns are high. In the present study, interpersonal and media sources of information about COVID-19 were discussed in a series of six focus groups with Spanish-language dominant and bilingual English-Spanish respondents in a large metropolitan area in Texas. Participants reported using legacy media as a main source of information about COVID-19 vaccines and encountered conspiracy theories and misinformation on social media. Using the Health Belief Model as the theoretical lens, we found individuals' and family members' perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 played a part in participants wanting to find and get the vaccine. Provider recommendations may have served as cues to action. Ease of receiving the vaccines at church and pharmacies may have served to boost participants self-efficacy. Perceived barriers include vaccine specific reasons such as the fast pace of initial authorization, side effects, and long-term effects along with conspiracy theories. Prevailing information gaps regarding the COVID-19 vaccines and the resulting uncertainty are discussed. Understanding information sources and the trust Hispanic communities place in these sources is important in designing effective health messages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Virtual teams have been adopted by organizations to gain competitive advantages in this global economy. This study investigated the factors that facilitate trust in virtual teams. Both structural and process variables, including task interdependence, media use, and awareness of teammates' activities, were proposed to influence trust development in distributed work groups. To test our hypotheses, 7 virtual engineering design teams were recruited from universities in the United States, Mexico, and Russia. Each team consisted of students from 2 locations and was offered a set of communication tools, including video conferencing systems, telephone, fax, a project-specific email account, and a web-based groupware tool. The results showed that perceived task interdependence and communication frequency had positive effects on perceived level of awareness. Additionally, both perceived task interdependence and awareness were positively associated with trust. Further analysis showed that perceived awareness mediated the relationship between perceived task interdependence and trust. These results suggest that awareness is an important group process variable linking task structure and trust in virtual teams. The implications of the results on virtual team management were discussed. Keywords: Virtual team, Awareness, Trust, Computer supported cooperative work, INTRODUCTION Recent development of information and communication technology has enabled organizations to pull resources from all over the world via virtual teams.

Abstract

Reward distribution is essential to the wellbeing of self-organized online game player communities. This paper adopted a case-study approach to investigate how a particular player community managed fairness in sharing rewards among members. The results found that the community primarily relied on a raid point based auction system for reward distribution. Perceived fairness was managed as various written policies focusing on two dimensions: behavior regulation and resource management. The guiding principles of fairness management were identified and articulated. So was the role of structural features of the game and the community in triggering policy discussion. Finally, the implications for future research was discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

23. Writing for Friends and Family: The Interpersonal Nature of Blogs.

Abstract

The goal of the current research is to explore antecedent variables related to the adoption of new technology for interpersonal goals. A random sample of bloggers were surveyed to explore how the combination of extraversion and self disclosure effect strong tie network size, which in turn serves as motivation to use new technology as an additional mode of communication. Bloggers who exhibit both extraversion and self disclosure traits tend to maintain larger strong tie social networks, and are more likely to appropriate blogs as an additional mode of communication to support these relationships. Age, gender and education have no relationship to network size, blog content, or the use of blogs as a relationship maintenance tool, suggesting that the social context surrounding technology use is a more effective approach to investigating user behavior. These results contribute to the continuing discussion regarding the impact the Internet and its tools are having on relationships by suggesting that, rather than promoting isolation, computer-mediated communication tools, like blogs, often function to enhance existing relationships. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
