Communication's Lindsey Aloia Wins Regional Journal Award
Lindsey Aloia
Lindsey Aloia, associate professor in the Department of Communication in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, has been named the recipient of the 2020 Rose B. Johnson SCJ Article Award for the Southern States Communication Association (SSCA).
The Rose B. Johnson SCJ Article Award honors the author or authors of an outstanding, significant article published in the Southern Communication Journal, the sponsored journal of the SSCA. The recipient of this award is determined by the editor and editorial board of SCJ.
Aloia's article, "Associations between taking conflict personally and mental and physical health: An allostatic load perspective," explores the accumulated stress on individuals exposed to repeated or chronic stress.
Building on the allostatic load perspective, this study tested mental and physical health outcomes associated with taking conflict personally. Aloia assessed students' direct personalization, persecution feelings, stress reactions, positive relational effects, negative relational effects, and like/dislike valence; mental health; and physical health.
Department of Communication chair, Stephanie Schulte, praised Aloia's research. "The communication department is proud of Dr. Aloia's research accomplishments and pleased she has received such great recognition for her work."
About the The Rose B. Johnson SCJ Article Award: In 1934, Rose B. Johnson, a Birmingham, Alabama, high school speech teacher, convinced her colleagues in the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech (now the SSCA) to fund the Southern Speech Bulletin (now the SCJ), making it the first journal sponsored by one of the regional communication associations and the third journal in the whole of the newly emerging communication field.
