“…First, this study found that respondents rated other Singaporeans as being more exposed to and negatively influenced by sexual content in films than they are themselves. Similar findings appear throughout third-person effects research (e.g., Ho et al, 2012;B. K. Lee & Tamborini, 2005;Zhao & Cai, 2008).…”

People generally believe they are less susceptible than others to influences of media, and a growing body of research implicates such biased processing, or third-person perception, in public support for censorship, a type of third-person effect. The current study extends research of the third-person effect by studying two efficacyrelated concepts in the context of sexual content in films. Analysis of cross-sectional data from 1,012 Singaporeans suggests that people exhibit self-other asymmetries of efficacy beliefs: They believe others are less capable than they are of self-regulation and that censorship is more effective at restricting others' access to sexual content in films. Furthermore, the former belief was directly related to the belief that others are more susceptible to negative influence, and thus was indirectly related to support for censorship; whereas the latter belief was directly related to support for censorship. Results may help distinguish the roles of self-regulation and government censorship as bases of local media standards.

“…If no eligible male was present at the time of the call, interviewers asked to speak to the oldest female in the household. This within-household sampling technique has been effective in yielding nationally representative samples comparable with the population parameters in countries including the U.S. (Kennedy, 1993) and Singapore (Ho, Detenber, Malik, & Neo, 2012). In total, 1168 respondents completed the survey, with a response rate of 33.4% using AAPOR Formula 3.…”

Applying the theory of planned behavior and media dependency theory, this study examines the effects of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), media dependency, traditional media attention, Internet attention, and interpersonal communication on two types of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs)-green-buying and environmental civic engagement. Regression analysis of a nationally representative survey of adult Singaporeans (N = 1168) indicated that attitude, PBC, media dependency, traditional media attention, and interpersonal communication were positively associated with green-buying. Notably, traditional media attention, as well as interpersonal communication, moderated the influence of media dependency on green-buying behavior. In addition, attitude, descriptive norms, media dependency, Internet attention, and interpersonal communication positively predicted environmental civic engagement. Findings suggest the importance of communication factors in the adoption of the two PEBs. .sg A previous version of this article won a top faculty paper (second place) award at the 2013 annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, Washington, DC.Environmental Communication, 2014 http://dx.

“…Interviewers asked to speak with "a male 18 years or older who is now at home," and if there was no eligible male at home, they asked to speak to the oldest female at home. This technique has been effective in yielding representative samples in Singapore (Ho, Detenber, Malik, & Neo, 2012;Ho, Lee, & Hameed, 2008). Extensive amount of effort was invested in call-backs and refusal conversions to minimize systematic non-response.…”

This study uses the cognitive mediation model as the theoretical framework to examine the influence of motivations, communication, and news elaboration on public knowledge of the H1N1 pandemic and the intention to take precautionary behaviors in Singapore. Using a nationally representative random digit dialing telephone survey of 1,055 adult Singaporeans, the authors' results show that the cognitive mediation model can be applied to health contexts, in which motivations (surveillance gratification, guidance, and need for cognition) were positively associated with news attention, elaboration, and interpersonal communication. News attention, elaboration, and interpersonal communication in turn positively influence public knowledge about the H1N1 influenza. In addition, results show that the motivations have significant indirect effects on behavioral intentions, as partially mediated by communication (media attention and interpersonal communication), elaboration, and knowledge. The authors conclude that the cognitive mediation model can be extended to behavioral outcomes, above and beyond knowledge. Implications for theory and practice for health communication were discussed.
