Five years ago, we reviewed the state of memorable message scholarship in communication, with special attention to the utility of memorable message research in health communication. Since then, works advancing the theoretical and practical applicability of the construct have continued to emerge. In this article, we discuss the trends in published memorable message research over the last five years. Since 2017, thirty-four additional peer-reviewed articles focusing on memorable messages as a central concept have been published. Health communication as a subset of the field (as well as the journal ) see a higher concentration of these publications than other areas. In this review, we concentrate on the use of theory within recent memorable message work. Although much of the memorable message research continues to be atheoretical, more work utilizing control theory, the theory of memorable messages, and communicated narrative sense-making characterize the recent literature. Additionally, more research has emerged that highlights the theoretically driven investigations about the nature of memorable messages. We review the scholarship utilizing these and other theories and suggest avenues for future research.
五年前，我们回顾了传播学中令人难忘信息的研究状况，特别关注了该研究在健康传播中的实用性。此后，不断有推进该构念理论和实际应用的研究成果问世。在本文中，我们讨论了过去五年中发表的有关令人难忘信息的研究趋势。自 2017 年以来，又有 34 篇以令人难忘的信息为核心概念的同行评审文章发表。健康传播作为该领域的一个分支（以及该杂志）比其他领域更集中地发表这些出版物。在本次综述中，我们集中讨论了近期令人难忘的信息研究中理论的应用。尽管大部分令人难忘的信息研究仍然缺乏理论，但更多利用控制理论、令人难忘信息理论和传播叙事意义建构的研究工作是最近文献的特点。此外，更多的研究强调了关于令人难忘信息性质的理论驱动的研究。我们回顾了利用这些和其他理论的学术研究，并提出了未来研究的途径。
