Description
The following study applies research on Implicit Person Theory (IPT) to the context of organizational communication. IPT scholars argue that most individuals ascribe to one of two groups regarding perceptions of ability: entity or incremental theorists. Entity theorists believe abilities are fixed, unchanging, and constant, whereas incremental theorists believe abilities are changeable, malleable, and subject to development. Incremental theories are a predictor of success, while entity theories can stifle development (e.g., Dweck, 2006). This study explores the relationship employees' mindsets have on the organization, including learner empowerment, impression management, organizational dissent, and guilt. The present study reasons that incremental (versus entity) theorists will exhibit higher perception of learner empowerment, lower expression of impression management behaviors, higher expression of organizational dissent, and a lower perception of organizational related guilt. No significant results were found on the directional relationships predicted; however, this study presents implications for future research in the area of IPT and organizational communication.

Description
Trust was measured for a target profile that varied the target's religion and costly signaling behavior. Subjects were primed with a threat, romance, or neutral response previous to viewing the profile to determine if this had any effect on their trust ratings of the target. Participants were drawn from MTurk with ages ranging from 18 to 75 (M= 33.2) and various religious backgrounds (including 210 Christians, 190 atheists/agnostics, and 92 other religious believers). Participants were presented with the threat, romance, or neutral vignette, shown the target profile, and asked to rate the target's trustworthiness. There was no main effect of the vignette condition (p = .088) or costly signaling (p = .099) on the target's trustworthiness. There was a main effect of target religion (p = .006) wherein the Muslim target was trusted more than the Catholic target. These findings do not replicate previous findings on religion, costly signaling, and trust.

Description
Native American COVID vaccination trends have deviated from the vaccinated trends for other vaccines such as the HPV and flu. Native Americans are reporting the highest vaccinations in the nation compared to all racial and ethnic groups in the country. Despite this, some are still hesitant in taking the vaccine. This study investigates the factors that influence vaccine uptake and hesitancy among Native American Youth in Arizona. The study utilizes data from the Arizona Youth Identity Project, a mixed-methods study examining young adults’ political engagement and sense of identity as Americans. 10 out of 13 individuals at the time of the study had received the COVID vaccine. Three themes, trust, knowledge, and social responsibility were identified. Most of the reasons for hesitancy came from distrust of government and biomedicine. Most participants had no knowledge of vaccine effectiveness, mechanism or effects but viewed getting vaccinated as a social responsibility to protect their families and communities. These findings indicate that the main goal of vaccinations among Native American youth was to protect the most vulnerable elders.
