Summary: This manuscript presents three studies investigating the influence of watching situation comedies on attitudes towards Black Americans. The findings suggest that sitcoms with predominately Black casts can reduce prejudice, while sitcoms with predominately White casts may increase prejudice. The effects are mediated by positive reciprocity expectations for Black Americans.

Summary: This paper addresses the representation of migratory flows in documentary cinema and explores the aesthetic and political questions surrounding this representation. It discusses the means to represent a crisis in cinema and how to restore meaning and efficiency to images. The analysis of two contemporary documentaries, Havarie (2016) by Philipp Scheffner and The Migrating Image (2018) by Stefan Kruse Jorgensen, sheds light on these interrogations.

Summary: This article argues that revisiting Barking Dogs Never Bite is instructive to understand the aesthetics and signatures of director Bong amidst the hype of Parasite fever. Both Parasite and Barking Dogs Never Bite depict the friction between power and the powerless through spatial metaphors, and this article explores how Bong's hybrid style of commercialism and social commentary is deeply rooted in the South Korean context.

Summary: This study examines the impact of incidental exposure on expressive behaviors on social media and messaging apps during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that incidental exposure predicts individuals' expressive behaviors and coping outcomes, regardless of whether the information affirms or undermines their opinions. However, the relationship between pro-attitudinal incidental exposure and expressive behaviors varied depending on the perceived network homogeneity on social media and messaging apps.

Summary: Previous research has linked lifetime media use with intergroup prejudice. Our studies found that childhood social media use significantly predicted current prejudicial attitudes. However, adolescence and adulthood social media use did not have the same effect. Overall lifetime social media use was associated with racial attitudes, but lifetime TV use had mixed results.

Summary: Social media is often filled with anger and misinformation, but little is known about how misinformation gains power when users are exposed to anger appeals related to misinformation or unrelated anger. Two online experiments in different health contexts reveal the mechanisms and effects of anger appeals on misinformation recall, with a particular focus on the role of ambient anger. The findings highlight the complex and conditional influence of anger appeals on misinformation recall.

Summary: This article examines the cultural politics of fear in post-war Nepal through the study of Nepal banda, a recurring political spectacle. It demonstrates how people employ online tactics to counteract the fear embodied in the Nepal banda, primarily through injecting everyday creativity and leisure into the spectacle. The findings suggest that in a society like Nepal, online engagement often serves as a more viable avenue for political dissent than offline resistance.

Summary: This essay explores the role of marketing in shaping the audience's reception and interpretation of Eric Hodgins' Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. The print version relied on self-deprecating humor to appeal to urban audiences, while the film adaptation targeted the emerging white middle-class families and promoted mass consumption mythos. The adaptation, along with its massive advertising campaign and construction of replicas, blurred the disparity between the dream house and suburban reality, creating new sites of middle-class identification.
