BACKGROUND Computer-tailored programs have shown their efficacy to enhance lifestyle behaviours. Video-based messaging improves user evaluations but is expensive and may be replaced by animations. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the effects of animation-based tailoring compared to video-based tailoring on the user-experience, using a modified case intervention: Support-to-Quit. METHODS A randomised controlled cross-over design was used with two periods (animation-based tailoring vs. video-based tailoring). A mixed-methods study was conducted using structured face-to-face interviews and digital questionnaires. The intervention Support-to-Quit was a web-based computer-tailored program to support smoking cessation. We recruited 58 participants (34.9% response rate) with 17 interviewees and 41 survey participations. RESULTS No significant differences in the scores between the video-based and the animation-based versions of the program were obtained (all p-values ≥ 0.14), indicating similar user-experience, and intention to use the program between the delivery modes. Small effect sizes favouring animated texts were found for loyalty and enjoyment. Interviews showed consistent findings, further revealing the specific perceptions surrounding the concepts of the user-experience model, and overall more positive feedback was given to the animated versions CONCLUSIONS This study showed that animation-based tailoring and video-based tailoring yield similar user-experience of smokers. Due to the overall similar user-experience and two trends favouring animated texts, one can argue that animation-based tailoring may be a better and cheaper option from an intervention development perspective. Yet, future studies with larger sample sizes are needed.

Stark Contrast

Recent studies have focused on challenging deficit narratives and discourses perpetuating the criminalization of Latino men and boys. But even with this emerging literature, mainstream counter-narratives of young Latino boys and their attitudes towards manhood and masculinity stand in stark contrast to the dangerous and animalistic portrayals of Latino boys and men in the media and society. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the authors draw on the notion of counter-storytelling to explore how Latino boys try to reframe masculinity, manhood, and what they label as ‘responsible manhood.’ Counter-storytelling and narratives provide a platform from which to challenge the discourse, narratives, and imaginaries guiding the conceptualization of machismo. In their counter-narratives, Latino boys critiqued how they are raced, gendered, and Othered in derogatory ways.

Feminist Identification

The realm of horror provides a creative space in which the breakdown of social order can either expose power relations or further cement them by having them persist after the collapse. Carol Clover proposed that the 1970s slasher film genre—known for its sex and gore fanfare—provided feminist identification through its “final girl” indie invention. Over three decades later, with the genre now commercialized, this research exposes the reality of sexual and horrific imagery within the Hollywood mainstay. Using a mixed-methods approach, I develop four categories of depiction across cisgender representation in these films: violent, sexual, sexually violent, and postmortem. I explore the ways in which a white, heterosexist imagination has appropriated this once productive genre through the violent treatment of bodies. This exposes the means by which hegemonic, oppressive structures assimilate and sanitize counter-media. This article provides an important discussion on how counterculture is transformed in capital systems and then used to uphold the very structures it seeks to confront. The result of such assimilation is the violent treatment and stereotyping of marginalized identities in which creative efforts now pursue new means of brutalization and dehumanization.

The Social

Using a mixed-methods approach based on discussion focus groups and panel surveys of the Longitudinal Social Study of Chile, this chapter demonstrates that Chilean’s neoliberal economic order is not legitimized by the vast majority of the population. Instead, the author argues that social norms are in serious conflict with the prevailing socioeconomic order. Within Chilean society, both citizens and social analysts are prone to agree with the existence of a “neoliberal consensus” due to the strategic adaptation of social practices that take place within a socioeconomic order that most individuals accept as a given. As a consequence, a “fantasy consensus” emerges in Chilean society in order to stabilize the social economic order, thus avoiding collective mobilization and social change. In this scenario, the protest waves that Chilean society has faced since 2011 offer additional proof that the “fantasy consensus” has experienced serious fissures, thus opening a window of opportunity to delegitimize Chile’s neoliberal order in the country.
