Academic Interests: Dr Miller's work investigates human affective responses to influences messages in various contexts by applying emotion, motivation, and social influence theories to a range of communication settings, with special emphasis on mass mediated message designs targeting adolescent, elderly, and minority populations.
Principle research areas include the effects of psychological reactance and the restoration of freedom on health promotion and risk prevention messages, and the effects of subliminally induced mortality salience on self-esteem concerns related to 1st and 3rd person media effects. Another area of research involves defensive and implicit attribution processes related to jealousy, envy, shame, guilt, and indignation.
Professor Miller's work appears in Human Communication Research, Health Communication,
The Electronic Journal of Communication, Communication Research Reports, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin,
and Social Cognition, and in book chapters on communication and terrorism, and on the use of multimedia tools to test health promotion and prevention messages. He has presented three award winning conference papers, and is a recipient of NCA's Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Dissertation Award.
