Biography
I'm a professor of communication. For complete information, see my CV (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xj5RDGtyZ4gdWeLzRuLl9dx4e-k2tlQLhAOR7kZRbNg/edit?usp=sharing) visit my webpage (http://u.arizona.edu/~jharwood), my google scholar page (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vhdmdSkAAAAJ&hl=en) or my department's website (http://comm.arizona.edu).
Interests
Research
I study the associations between communication and intergroup relations. I am interested in how interpersonal and mass communication contribute to intergroup prejudice and discrimination, and also how they can be used to reduce conflict between social groups, particularly through facilitating or portraying successful contact between people from different social groups. Right now, I am particularly interested in music as a place where contact between groups might be particularly powerful and successful.
Teaching
I teach classes in communication and music, intergroup relations, communication and aging, and research methods.

Review of Communication Research. doi:10.12840/issn.2255-4165.2017.05.01.012More infoThis article describes the ways in which music is an important part of identity, and hence serves some similar functions to other forms of identity-related communication (e.g., language). It will describe how music is used to incite intergroup hatred (e.g., among soccer fans, military music) and to support valued identities (anthems, etc.). Relevant literature on stereotyping (including stereotyping of groups related to music) is included. The article also discusses how music is used to reduce intergroup hostility (e.g., via cross-cultural musical collaboration and contact). The article connects the various literatures from communication, social psychology, sociology, and ethnomusicology, providing a broad overview of the many connections between communication, music, and social identity. It closes with a research agenda for those interested in studying intergroup communication and music.

Older adult, child, female, and Latino characters were underrepresented, whereas middle‐aged, male, and white characters were overrepresented. No group differences were found in terms of whether the characters were shown in major or minor roles. A measure incorporating assessments of attractiveness, quality of dress, personality, and story function revealed that older characters, males, and Latino characters were portrayed somewhat less positively than others. Results are discussed in terms of socialization processes and intergroup theory.

Communication Reports, 14(1), 49-57. doi:10.1080/08934210109367736More infoThis research examined the ways in which television viewers talk about programming. Survey results showed that individuals talked more about news and prime‐time television programs than other types of programs. Older adults were more likely to discuss highbrow (e.g., PBS) and news programs, whereas younger adults were more likely to discuss niche programming (i.e., soap operas, animation, science fiction). Criticism of shows was common in discussing niche programs, whereas discussion of issues was more likely for news programs. Findings are discussed in terms of media literacy, critical approaches to viewership, and uses and gratifications theory. Implications for the study of interpersonal and mediated communication are addressed.

Journal of cross-cultural gerontology, 16(2), 157-71. doi:10.1023/a:1010616316082More infoIn this paper, we assess the traits that older adults associate with younger, middle-aged, and older adults in five Pacific Rim nations from Western and Eastern cultural traditions (Australia, People's Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand). We find cross-cultural trends which replicate patterns found in the US context. In most cultures, attractiveness, strength, activity, liberalism, health, and flexibility are seen to decline with increasing age. Kindness assessments are positively associated with age across cultures. Mixed patterns are found with assessments of wisdom and generosity, with respondents from the PRC and Hong Kong being notably more negative about increasing age than other respondents. Implications for the aging process across cultures are discussed, and suggestions made for future research.

In interviews, younger and older adults were asked to imagine various types of conversations with older and younger targets. They were prompted to provide a wide variety of information about the targets and the conversations. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed to uncover types of conversations commonly reported. Through a combination of coding and hierarchical cluster analysis, a hierarchical arrangement of types of conversations emerged in younger and older adults’ descriptions. Each of the types is described in detail. In a second study, exemplars of each type were sorted by younger and older adults and subjected to multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The results supported the validity of the types from Study 1, and suggested dimensions underlying this arrangement (positive‐negative and helping‐not helping for the younger adults; positive‐negative and high‐low change or...

Journal of cross-cultural gerontology, 11(4), 307-17. doi:10.1007/bf00115798More infoIn this paper, the traits which younger adults associate with younger, middle-aged, and older adults in a number of Pacific Rim nations were assessed. Two dependent variables ('personal vitality' and 'benevolence') emerged from factor analyses of a series of trait adjectives. Cross cultural trends emerged which replicated patterns found in the US context. Main effects indicated declines in ratings of personal vitality and increases in ratings of benevolence with increasing target-age. However, interesting variations on this pattern emerged in different cultures. In particular, very negative evaluations of aging in Hong Kong, and a lack of differentiation between middle-aged and older adults in the Philippines and New Zealand were found. Little evidence emerged supporting the notion of particular positive evaluations of older adults in Asian cultures.

This emerged from an interest in the application of the SV framework to age, which is a new development. In addition, we were interested in the relative strength ascribed to the elderly in the two cultures, given western conceptions that the elderly are revered and respected in Asian cultures. The results indicate that, relative to young targets, the elderly are rated as having less vitality in Hong Kong than in California—an effect that was contrary to our expectations. The middle‐aged are seen as having the highest vitality across both cultures. These findings are discussed in terms of recent developments in vitality theory, and the political situation in Hong Kong.

Discourse & Society, 3(4), 403-436. doi:10.1177/0957926592003004001More infoThe Golden Girls is a highly popular television series which, since its inception in 1985, has received praise for presenting the elderly on television in a positive light. Research, however, has not investigated the messages of the show in any depth and the current study aims to remedy this. A discursive analysis of the show is conducted to identify ways in which the show marks age and achieves humorous effect. The multiple ways in which these effects are achieved are schematized in typology form. Indications that age marking and humor overlap considerably are interpreted in terms of propagating views of aging inconsistent with the show's public agenda'. Specifically, the link, which has theoretical implications, is seen as perpetuating stereotypes of the elderly, by making counter-stereotypical portrayals, quite literally, laughable. The results are discussed in terms of various theoretical positions, as well as more applied production issues.
