The Relationship Between Advertising-Induced Anger and Self-Efficacy On The Relationship Between Advertising-Induced Anger and Self-efficacy on Persuasive Outcomes A Test of the Anger Activism Model Using the Truth Campaign Vinu Ilakkuvan, MSPH; Monique Mitchell Turner, PhD; Jennifer Cantrell, DrPH, MPA; Elizabeth Hair, PhD; Donna Vallone, PhD, MPH Turner’s Anger Activism Model (AAM) contends anger and efficacy interact in a unique way to determine message responses to campaign materials. This study tested the AAM using responses to 2 truth antismoking advertisements collected in August-October 2014 via an online, cross-sectional survey of 15- to 21-year-olds. Those aware of each of the truth advertisements (n = 319 for each) were organized into 4 anger/efficacy groups. Analysis of variance and regressions were conducted to understand group differences in message-related cognitions (persuasiveness, receptivity, conversation). Message cognitions were highest among the high anger/high efficacy group and lowest among the low anger/low efficacy group.

  • From Clicktivism to Hacktivism: Understanding Digital Activism
    Information & Organization, forthcoming 2019 1 From Clicktivism to Hacktivism: Understanding Digital Activism Jordana J. George Dorothy E. Leidner Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Baylor University ABSTRACT Digital activism provides new opportunities for social movement participants and social movement organizations (SMOs). Recent IS research has begun to touch on digital activism, defining it, exploring it, and building new theory to help understand it. This paper seeks to unpack digital activism through an exploratory literature review that provides descriptions, definitions, and categorizations. We provide a framework for digital activism by extending Milbrath’s (1965) hierarchy of political participation that divides activism into spectator, transitional, and gladiatorial activities. Using this framework, we identify ten activities of digital activism that are represented in the literature. These include digital spectator activities: clicktivism, metavoicing, assertion; digital transitional activities: e-funding, political consumerism, digital petitions, and botivism; and digital gladiatorial activities: data activism, exposure, and hacktivism. Last, we analyze the activities in terms of participants, SMOs, individuals who are targeted by the activity, and organizations that are targeted by the activity. We highlight four major implications and offer four meta-conjectures on the mechanisms of digital activism and their resulting impacts, and reveal a new construct where participants digitally organize yet lack an identifying cause, which we label connective emotion. Key Words Digital activism, social activism, political participation, social movements, connective emotion, literature review 1.0 Introduction Not long ago, activism to promote social movements was relegated to demonstrations and marches, chaining oneself to a fence, or writing to a government representative. Recruiting, organizing, and retaining participants was difficult enough to ensure that often only largest, best supported movements thrived and creating an impact often took years.

  • 301-309. Consumer Activism for Social Change A
    Lightfoot, E. B. (2019). Consumer Activism for Social Change. Social Work, 64(4), 301-309. Consumer Activism for Social Change Abstract Consumer activism, or activism through participating in the market such as through boycotts or ethical shopping, is the most common form of political action in the United States aside from voting. While consumer activism was a popular macro practice social work intervention by social work pioneers and has been an important part of many social change movements, it is rarely discussed formally in the field of social work today. This article provides an overview of consumer activism as a social work intervention, describes historical and twenty-first century examples of consumer activism, discusses the effectiveness of consumer activism, and discusses the strengths and challenges of consumer activism for social workers who engage in it either professionally or personally. This is the unedited Author’s Copy. The published article is: Lightfoot, E. B. (2019). Consumer Activism for Social Change. Social Work, 64(4), 301-309. Lightfoot, E. B. (2019). Consumer Activism for Social Change. Social Work, 64(4), 301-309. Consumer activism is activism taken by consumers through participating in the market. This can involve activities such as choosing to shop for only fair-trade products or boycotting a company because of its labor practices. Consumer activism has a long history in the United States (US), and more than half of US citizens have participated in a form of consumer activism in their lives, with more than a third participating in the past year (Keeter, Zukin, Zndolina & Jenkins, 2002). Aside from voting, consumer activism is the most common way that citizens engage in political participation and is far more common than other types of political engagement, such as contacting legislators, fundraising for charity, taking part in a protest or volunteering for a candidate.

PITA LOOR ABSTRACT This Article explores the immigrant acts of protest during the Obama presidency in opposition to the Secure Communities (SCOMM) immigration enforcement program through the lens of philosopher John Rawls’ theory of civil disobedience and posits that this immigrant resistance contributed to that administration’s dismantling the federal program by progressively moving localities, and eventually whole states, to cease cooperation with SCOMM. The controversial SCOMM program is one of the most powerful tools of immigration enforcement in the new millennium because it transforms any contact with state and local law enforcement into a potential immigration investigation.

  • Is Consumer Activism Economic Democracy?
    U= !ON=UMER "!;UVU=ME!ONOMU! pEMO!R"!o# _ RZVENRo 7E"VER The Second Gilded Age has also been a golden era for consumer activism. As the nation state and organized labor have both diminished in their ability to translate public attitudes into resource outcomes, civil society groups have turned to a third axis of social power, consumer behavior, to bring multinational corporations to heel. We are witnessing historically high levels of participation in market-based campaigns, boycotts, and conscientious shopping. Recent waves of consumer activism recall the frequent boycotts that characterized the history of the early American labor movement. Yet whether consumer power actually furthers the project of economic democracy—that is, social control over economic production—remains controversial. This Article argues that two forms of consumer activism, which I call organized buying and ethical consumption, differ fundamentally in their democratic potential. Organized buying refers to a targeted effort to use consumer power to achieve a discrete goal; ethical consumption refers to the more diffuse preferences of individual consumers for morally favored goods. I illustrate these distinctions through case studies from food politics: the United Farm Workers’ grape boycotts, and the contemporary market for organic food. Only organized buying, I argue, has the potential to subordinate economic power to democratic control. Ethical consumption, on the other hand, aligns with the market fundamentalist view that all political preferences can and should be satisfied through individual purchasing decisions. Although this Article does not deal with doctrinal questions, a more nuanced understanding of the political economy of consumer activism should inform discussions about product labeling, the regulation of secondary labor activity, and free speech protections for consumer behavior.

  • How Brand Activism Affects Consumer Attitude
    How Brand Activism Affects Consumer Attitude A study on Swedish consumers’ attitudes towards companies using brand activism, with the Black Lives Matter movement as context Bachelor’s Thesis 15 hp Department of Business Studies Uppsala University Fall Semester of 2020 Date of Submission: 2021-01-14 Diana Araf Emma Lundemo Dahlin Supervisor: León Poblete Abstract Black Lives Matter rörelsen engagerade människor både internationellt och nationellt under våren 2020. Företag var inte sena med att ta ställning och visa deras stöd i frågan, vilket ledde till olika typer av reaktioner bland deras konsumenter. Denna studie ämnar undersöka svenska konsumenters attityd gentemot företag som använder sig av brand activism som svar på sociala rörelser, där Black Lives Matter valts som empiriskt kontext. Studien ämnar också besvara vilka de viktigaste aspekterna bakom konsumenters attityd är. En förstudie har gjorts genom netnografi och empiri har samlats in genom en webbenkät med 260 svenska respondenter. Studiens analys och resultat tyder på att respondenternas generella inställning till brand activism är positiv i de fall då respondenterna anser att den sociala rörelsen som stöttas är viktig. Det finns dock tre dimensioner som påverkar den övergripande attityden, dessa är autentiskt innehåll, attityd gentemot företaget och värdet i handlingar. Inom dessa dimensioner utrönas flertalet teman där företagets historia och storlek, innehållet i själva budskapet samt att det genomsyrar organisationen är de viktigaste. Vidare är även temana utbildande, genuin och handlingskraftig kommunikation inom brand activism viktiga delar att ta med sig från resultatet.

  • Frame Resonance, Political Ideology, and the Immigrant Rights Movement
    Rights, Economics, or Family? 1647 Rights, Economics, or Family? Rights, Economics, or Family? Frame Resonance, Political Ideology, and the Immigrant Rights Movement Irene Bloemraad, Fabiana Silva, and Kim Voss , University of California, Berkeley Downloaded from lthough social movement scholars in the United States have long ignored activ- ism over immigration, this movement raises important theoretical and empirical Aquestions, especially given many immigrants’ lack of citizenship. Is the rights “master” frame, used extensively by other US social movements, persuasive in making http://sf.oxfordjournals.org/ claims for noncitizens? If not, which other movement frames resonate with the public? We leverage survey experiments—largely the domain of political scientists and public opinion researchers—to examine how much human/citizenship rights, economics, and family framing contests shape Californians’ views about legalization and immigrants’ access to public benefits. We pay particular attention to how potentially distinct “pub- lics,” or subgroups, react, finding significant differences in frame resonance between groups distinguished by political ideology. However, alternative framings resonate with—at best—one political subgroup and, dauntingly, frames that resonate with one at Univ of California Library on May 20, 2016 group sometimes alienate others. While activists and political theorists may hope that human rights appeals can expand American notions of membership, such a frame does not help the movement build support for legalization. Instead, the most expansive change in legalization attitudes occurs when framed as about family unity, but this holds only among self-reported conservatives. These findings underscore the challenges confronting the immigrant movement and the need to reevaluate the assumption that historically progressive rights language is effective for immigrant claims-making.

  • Propaganda? What Propaganda?: Discourse, Identity, and Queer Activism in St-Petersburg, Russia
    Propaganda? What Propaganda?: Discourse, Identity, and Queer Activism in St-Petersburg, Russia by Melanie Rickert A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Melanie Rickert Abstract In light of the recent ban on the “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations” in Russia, my thesis explores the queer activist movements in the city of St-Petersburg. In the wake of the ban, emerging and new modes of activism in St-Petersburg have developed and the individuals participating in these campaigns present different ways of being active/activists in means both public and private, street and academic, local and global. Firstly, after a brief historical overview of queer desires and identities in Russia, this thesis examines two prominent spheres of activism, academic and street-based, and their shifting practices in light of the ban. Secondly, I examine the effects of the ban on queer subject and identity making through a discussion of the various discourses (nationalist, moral, medical, global) that are present in their everyday lives. This focus demonstrates that despite the official bodies (state and church) attempting to delegitimize queer desires and subjects, queer activists are able to carve out spaces for themselves and continue in their attempts to fashion a queer world of their own. I Acknowledgments The completion of this thesis has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least. Had you asked me a mere few months ago if I thought I would complete this thesis, my answer would have most likely been a nervous laugh.

  • Ethics of Hacktivism by Tennille W
    Ethics of Hacktivism by Tennille W. Scott and O. Shawn Cupp Introduction Do hacktivists have ethics? Some would say yes and others suggest that no, they do not. Are there rules that those who engage in hacking follow or abide by during the conduct of their activities? Does the hacktivist maintain any semblance of actions described under the just war theory? If so, it would seem to be only in jus in bello1 or the just conduct in war, due to the perpetual nature of hacker activities and hacktivist operations. First, what is a hacktivist?2 They are defined as those who through the nonviolent use for political ends of “illegal or legally ambiguous digital tools” like website defacements, information theft, website parodies, denial-of-service attacks, virtual sit-ins, and virtual sabotage.3 This provides the basis for understanding more about where hacktivists’ motivations come from and what kinds of ideologies they may exhibit. Nevertheless, hacktivists must conform to some sort of norm. Based upon the nature of hacktivist activities, there must be a way to categorize or identify their overarching ethic. Understanding the motivation of this group is a huge undertaking because of the great variance and diversity of the people who make up the hacktivist collective. Unlike cyberterrorists, who typically belong to a hierarchical group structure and have a common cause, hacktivists are not bound in the same way, which makes them more dynamic and difficult to analyze. A prime example is the hacktivist group known as Anonymous and its spinoff group, Lulz Security (LulzSec), who eventually participated in different activities with different motives.

  • Information Operations and Online Activism Within NATO Discourse
    Chapter 5 Information Operations and Online Activism within NATO Discourse Kate Starbird As social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and WhatsApp have been adopted by people all around the world, they have become primary sites for political discourse and political activ- ism. Researchers have noted how these platforms have played varied roles in diverse movements, from the protests and demonstrations of the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter activism and numerous politi- cal campaigns, including those of Barack Obama in 2008 and Donald Trump in 2016.1 Social media have also become sites for information operations, polit- ical propaganda, and disinformation online. In April 2017, Facebook released a report acknowledging that its platform had been used by for- eign governments (Russia) and nonstate actors (Wikileaks) to interfere with the 2016 elections in the United States.2 Around the same time, researchers in the emerging fi eld of computational propaganda docu- mented the use of algorithmically controlled accounts (bots) and other techniques to spread political messages targeting populations in Brazil, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, the United States, and other countries.3 More recently, it has been announced that the US State Department hired SCL (the parent company to Cambridge Analytica) to leverage social media to counteract terrorist propaganda.4 These information operations, which are growing as ubiquitous as the tools they leverage, take diverse forms. One emerging vector for information operations is “organic” online activism—that which can HH7667-Trinkunas.indb7667-Trinkunas.indb 7799 11/17/20/17/20 88:49:49 AAMM 80 KATE STARBIRD be infi ltrated, shaped, and, in some cases, weaponized by “bad actors” with their own political motives.
