About

Ping is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Health Communication and joined the department in Fall 2022. Ping’s research spans media effects, strategic health communication, and health psychology because she believes that effective strategic health communication starts from understanding audiences’ psychological mechanisms and individual differences. Her recent experimental studies investigated how vaccine-hesitant parents process types of health messages differently. Additionally, the influence of conspiracy beliefs was also considered to find the most effective message format to increase vaccine-hesitant parents’ intention to have their child vaccinated. Ping is specialized in quantitative research methods and advanced statistical modeling.
