“…Individuals mainly show two behavioral responses: one highlights self-protection and is scared of being infected by other people, which leads to actions such as wearing a facemask [63], increasing green consumption [64], attaching importance to food safety, and quantified self behavior [7]. The other emphasizes the protection of others and is scared of infecting others [65], which leads to actions such as taking the nucleic acid testing and following the quarantine regulations.…”

During the pandemic, the mortality salience of COVID-19 has affected everyone. The public is extremely sensitive to food safety, especially cold chain food and imported food. This research is based on the terror management theory, protective motivation theory, and self-construal theory. It proposes an integrated dual-path framework to explore the different mechanisms that mortality salience has on food safety behavior. The result of three experiments verified our conjectures. First, mortality salience positively affects individuals' food safety behavior. More importantly, we found the dual-path mechanism that underlies the effect, that is, the mediating of self-protective motivation and prosocial motivation. In addition, different self-construals make the confirmed effect clear. These findings provide implications for the government to protect public food safety and health.

“…More recently, Brunner and Smallwood (2019) propose an integrated approach called public interest relations (PIR) to address the negotiable relationship between public interest (social goodwill and community trust) and institutional goals. In their opinion, PIR should be enacted as an institutional value that encourages social changes, earns mutual trust and establishes goodwill in the long-term management; three PIR practices are technically involved, i.e., creation of space for facilitating dialogues, amplification of diverse voices and debatable viewpoints, suggestions on social and ethical issues for balancing short-term and long-term institutional missions (Brunner and Smallwood, 2019;Anderson, 2021). With that said, Johan et al (2020) further conclude conflict management through stakeholder collaboration helps PR practitioners to consider more of public interests in the decision-making process, thus establishing a new institutional identity toward social stability and peace.…”

Recent years have witnessed a flourishing development in the field of Public Relations (hereinafter as PR), which adjusts its scholarly attention from the quantitatively inclined studies on behavioral effectiveness to more of a critical discussion about social power and ideological influence within PR practice, consequently in favor of an interpretivist approach with a qualitative methodology toward a holistic analysis of a series of PR performances. Driven by the rise of this critical perspective in qualitative PR research, this paper aims to argue for a critical PR approach, tentatively by integrating a linguistic perspective from Critical Discourse Studies to discuss crisis communication as a social practice. Technically drawing on the theories of Political Public Relations (PPR in short) and Critical Discourse Studies, the proposed framework attaches equal importance to ideology, power, and identity instead of merely management function. It is illustrated that a critical investigation of PR performances approaches both media and institutional discourses, which are constructed by different social actors to frame a crisis and issue immediate responses, exercise its power control and maintain stakeholder relationships, and ultimately restore media and institutional images. On the one hand, the embedded ideologies enacted by the institutional control the media power and construct positive image representations. On the other hand, in order to exercise its administrative control, the institution must emphasize the need for all the stakeholders and the affected group to devote to resolving the crisis. The paper then concludes that the integrated framework together with the qualitative method of linguistic analysis offers PR scholars insights into the relationship between discourse, ideology, and crisis communication, as well as proposes implications on the interdisciplinary research from which general qualitative researchers could benefit. Hopefully, this integrated approach to crisis communication will contribute to broadening the research scope of analyzing communication as a social practice toward a comprehensive model.
