Exploring the Framing Effects of Emotion (2003, background): “A small but growing body of research supports the notion that different emotions, like anger and fear, can promote different degrees of message processing, with uncertainty appraisal serving as a key moderator (e.g., Bodenhausen, Sheppard, & Kramer, 1994; Nabi, 2002; Tiedens & Linton, 2001).”
Partisan News and Political Participation: Exploring Mediated Relationships (2016, background): “Scholars also have noted that media messages can trigger emotional reactions that subsequently influence various attitudinal and behavioral responses (Nabi, 2002, 2010), but these have not been tested as links from pro- or counter-attitudinal news exposure to political engagement.”
Middle managers' uncertainty management during organizational change (2006, background): “Other uncertainty-provoking situations investigated by the communication literature include intercultural interactions (Cooks, 2001) and domestic terrorism legislation (Nabi, 2002).”
All Joking Aside: A Serious Investigation into the Persuasive Effect of Funny Social Issue Messages (2007, methodology): “Message processing depth was assessed with Wolski and Nabi’s (2000) 14-item closed-ended scale designed to assess ability, motivation, and overall depth of information processing.”
Framing Climate Change: Exploring the Role of Emotion in Generating Advocacy Behavior (2018, background): “…were on the same topic, were presented in rapid succession, and could readily have been combined into one coherent message and given that the two messages together followed the threat-efficacy structure, this design is well-suited for a test of emotional flow (see Nabi, 2002, for similar design).”
Psychological Reactance and Persuasive Health Communication: A Test and Extension of the Intertwined Model (2007, background): “The second model that Dillard and Shen (2005) tested, the single-process affective model, is based on the idea that reactance is manifested as anger (Dillard & Meijnders, 2002; Nabi, 2002).”
The Case for Emphasizing Discrete Emotions in Communication Research (2010, background): “For example, Dillard, Plotnick, Godbold, Freimuth, and Edgar (1996) demonstrated not simply that public service announcements evoke multiple emotions, but that anger tended to impede persuasion whereas fear and surprise (and less consistently sadness) tended to enhance it (see also Nabi, 2002).”
Emotion Specificity and Consumer Behavior: Anger, Sadness, and Preference for Activity (2004, background): “…under relatively high elaboration conditions (see Desteno et al., 2004), additional research has shown that specific emotional states can also influence the amount of processing (Nabi, 2002; Tiedens & Linton, 2001) when the likelihood of elaboration is not already constrained by other variables.”
Communicating Food Safety via the Social Media (2014, result): “Furthermore, the current study confirms the contention from previous research in risk analysis, which emphasizes how individuals go through an emotional process in perceiving risks, along with a rational cognitive process (e.g., Nabi, 1999, 2002).”
Emotions Matter in Crisis (2011, background): “According to Nabi (2003), a growing body of research has supported the notion that different emotions can promote different degrees of message processing (e.g., Bodenhausen, Sheppard, & Kramer, 1994; Nabi, 2002; Tiedens & Linton, 2001).”
