“…The research we do is not only relevant for advancing our theories within the discipline, it also has the power to influence policies and practices throughout the world (Giner-Sorolla, 2019;Goroff, Lewis, Scheel, Scherer, & Tucker, 2018;. We study how the shows our children watch influence what they learn (e.g., Bonus & Mares, 2018;Ward, 2002), and the implications of those processes for practices like representation in the media (e.g., Dal Cin, Stoolmiller, & Sargent, 2013); how the way we frame messages about climate change affects the public's opinion about one of the most critical issues of our time (e.g., Schuldt, Enns, & Cavaliere, 2017); how and why health messages influence people's smoking decisions (e.g., Skurka et al, 2018); how the technology we use influences our abilities to communicate and collaborate effectively across cultures (e.g., Yuan, Liao, & Bazarova, 2019), and whether the use of different technologies have any consequences for our health and well-being (e.g., Bayer, Ellison, Schoenebeck, Brady, & Falk, 2018;Orben & Przybylski, 2019).…”
