Hyunyi Cho

Hyunyi Cho studies how media—including social media—shapes health beliefs, risk perceptions, and social behavior, with particular attention to media literacy, stigma, and the experiences of Asian American communities during events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The work combines communication theory (such as agenda building and presumed media influence) with empirical studies on topics like sleep health, anxiety self-diagnosis, and environmental persuasion. This research would suit students interested in media effects, health communication, and social media's role in public understanding and intergroup attitudes.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, averaging around 3-4 papers per year with a slight uptick in 2022 and again in 2026.
