My research interests focus on the intersection of health communication and computer-mediated communication. For my dissertation, I am particularly interested in new mothers’ complaining behaviors on different computer-mediated communication channels. Based upon Communication Privacy Management Theory, I will examine individuals’ perceived appropriate complaint across different types of communication technology, as well as their ways of managing the boundaries of self-disclosure when complaining on different platforms and facing different groups of audience. As culture is an important factor affecting individuals’ understanding of privacy and their privacy management strategies, I will compare new mothers from the United States and China in terms of their complaining behaviors when navigating different types of communication technology.
