“…The tensile stress within the spinning grain is of the order of %sl 2 2 may reach 10 8 dyn cm 2 . An interesting hypothesis by Wright (1994) is that suprathermal rotation limits the fractal dimension of grains may have the following consequences: a) if grains have high fractal dimension, their degree of suprathermality is low and their fractal dimension does not change, b) grains of aromatic carbonaceous material and graphite are not limited in their fractal dimension by suprathermal rotation, c) grains with surfaces of defected silicate, amorphous H2O ice or polymeric carbonaceous material with a limited number of pores will have their fractal dimension decreased as a result of suprathermal rotation.…”

Paramagnetic alignment of suprathermally rotating grains is discussed in view of recent progress in understanding subtle processes taking place over grain surface. It is shown that in typical ISM conditions, grains with surfaces of amorphous H 2 O ice, defected silicate or polymeric carbonaceous material are likely to exhibit enhanced alignment, while those of aromatic carbonaceous material or graphite are not. The critical grain sizes and temperature for the Purcell's alignment are obtained and preferential alignment of large grains is established.

“…All of the definitions involve a bond or connection between an individual and another person (or entity), such that the individual adopts traits, attitudes, or behaviors of the other person, or incorporates the other's characteristics into his or her sense of self (see Basil, 1996;Wright, 1994;Zillmann, 1994). However, the concept of identification has been defined in many different ways.…”

“…Theorists as diverse as Sigmund Freud, Kenneth Burke, and Herbert Kelman have employed identification in their work. Identification with others can provide a range of benefits, although there are risks as well, because the outcomes depend, in part, on the choice of identification figure (Basil, 1996;Mael & Ashforth, 2001;Wright, 1994). All of the definitions involve a bond or connection between an individual and another person (or entity), such that the individual adopts traits, attitudes, or behaviors of the other person, or incorporates the other's characteristics into his or her sense of self (see Basil, 1996;Wright, 1994;Zillmann, 1994).…”

In this study, 208 young adults completed questionnaires measuring their perceptions of and responses to their favorite fictional television characters, both male and female. Measures included perceived attitude similarity, perceived character attributes (smart, successful, attractive, funny, violent, admired), and wishful identification with the characters. Wishful identification was defined as the desire to be like or act like the character. Respondents reported greater wishful identification with samegender characters and with characters who seemed more similar in attitudes. Both men and women identified more strongly with successful and admired characters of the other gender, but they differed in the attributes that predicted their wishful identification with same-gender characters. Men identified with male characters whom they perceived as successful, intelligent, and violent, whereas women identified with female characters whom they perceived as successful, intelligent, attractive, and admired. Humor was the only attribute that was not related to wishful identification. Interpretations of the findings, and implications for understanding the social impact of television, are discussed.What motivates individuals to watch a television series regularly and to care what happens from week to week? Anecdotal and research evidence suggest that the characters who populate the programs play a key role in generating and maintaining audiences (Hoffner & Cantor, 1991). Many television executives believe that MEDIA PSYCHOLOGY, 7,

“…According to Wright, group gatherings are one means by which groups solidify unity. As a case in point, one might consider church services in which individuals come together to be united under their unifying belief in Christ's love and acceptance (Wright, 1994). For believers involved in church life, the meanings and practices of one's congregation become vital to articulating one's story of self.…”

In recent years, the Marin Foundation has gained increasing attention as a Christian group attempting to reconcile with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual (LGBT) community. As one means of fostering reconciliation, the “I’m Sorry” campaign within the Marin Foundation encourages individuals to post online video confessionals, stating what they are sorry for and how they intend to make things better for the LGBT community. This study examines these online video confessionals as a unique site of identity negotiation for Christian individuals attempting to reconcile with the LGBT community. Rhetorical analysis of the videos revealed that the individuals drew from a specific repertoire of apology and suggestions for future action, which fell in line with Kenneth Burke’s notion of scapegoating and mortification. As a result, the “story of self” articulated by the individuals failed to be coherent with both the stated goals of the foundation and the main tenets of Evangelical Christian identity.
