To investigate media effects, do we have to think more clearly about time ⌚? Our new publication in the 🎉*Journal of Communication*🎉 investigates how our conceptualizations of time can affect our conclusions: doi.org/10.1093/joc/... (1/6)

📱✨ Theorizing Dis/Connection by Mariek Vanden Abeele & ‪@trinesy.bsky.social‬ bridges mobile media studies & digital disconnection. They propose 5 axioms linking media affordances with moral values—paving the way for mobile media studies beyond mobile media. 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Super happy that this is finally out. It started with lunch discussions & difficulties in the @sonja-utz.de (then) social media group finding 1 social media definition we agreed on. Our main point: we need to be TRANSPARENT how we understand social media in a specific project/paper.

What are social media? Seems obvious, right? #TikTok? Definitely. #LinkedIn? Sure. #Facebook? Yes. #YouTube? Well… maybe less clear? In our @everydaymedialab.bsky.social project(lead @larawolfers.bsky.social) we suggest a framework for researchers #transparency academic.oup.com/anncom/advan...

And then days later, this article on comfort media by Sarah M. Grady, @aeden.bsky.social & @larawolfers.bsky.social shows up www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Finally :) Preprint of Susanne Baumgartner and my paper Short but still valid: Validating Single-Item Measures for Key Communication Science Constructs for Experience Sampling Research. In a 5-Study procedure, we assess the validity of in total 21 constructs osf.io/preprints/ps...

We’re closing out #ICA25 with three high-density sessions starting at 12PM in Centennial H (Regency 3)! First up: exploring the opportunities & challenges of mobile media for specific subpopulations. Don’t miss it! 📱🌍

Very proud supervisor today. Xiaotong Zhang (now PhD student @ UW-Madison) did an awesome job presenting her MA thesis & then, @anishaarenz.bsky.social did an extraordinary job presenting her MA thesis which won the #MobileComm best student paper award. Thankful to work with so smart people #ica25

A brief fire alarm break had us enjoying the great weather, but we’re back! 🔥 Now, a workshop on digital disconnection policy! #ICA25 #MobileComm

Started #ICA25 with an engaging, super nice MobileComm precon 😊 Workshop on digital disconnection policies ✅ Workshop on neurodiversity in mobile comm research ✅ The obligatory #ICA firealarm ✅

Had a wonderful start to #ICA25 today at the @icamobile.bsky.social precon! Thanks to @joebayer.bsky.social @larawolfers.bsky.social and @aliciagilbert.bsky.social for collaborating on a flash talk and @danilkowa.bsky.social for helping co-lead-organize a wonderful workshop on #neurodiversity ✨✨

Evergreen #ica25 tips - Go to top paper panels in other divisions. Go to business meetings, those are the room(s) where it happens. Go to at least 1 random panel for fun. Hydrate, especially in Denver with high elevation. Buy snacks for your room. Have fun.

Just throwing this out there again in case anyone finds it useful. #ica25

I wish the very good large-scale data sets such as #SOEP #ShellJugendstudie would offer better operationalizations of media use. All are #opendata, refer to activities, mental health, and, would be valuable for a variety of research questions in #mediapsychology and #communication

In honor of the #ICA25 program being available, I present my favorite ever entry in an ICA program.
