Anthropocene
The Anthropocene is a newly proposed geological epoch that situates humans as geological agents responsible for altering Earth systems as evidenced in the geological record and directly experienced through the earth’s changing climate. There remains significant debate regarding when humans manifested change in Earth systems, as well as how human influence in planetary processes is evidenced geologically. As of 2022, “Anthropocene” has yet to be a…
The Influence of Risk, Location, and Relationship on Refusing an Event Invitation During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Viewed through the lens of the Revelation Risk Model (RRM), we examined whether the perceived riskiness of an activity, relationship type (family, romantic, or friends), and location in the US (California, Oklahoma, or Ohio) influenced whether and how people communicated with close others when refusing an event invitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we examined how these factors affected their likelihood of attending an event, the…
Arguing about social distancing and family relationships
With the COVID-19 pandemic, families are having to coordinate their behaviors to face new challenges, such as negotiating the social distancing measures that the family will or will not take in their daily interaction. This study utilizes Family Communication Patterns Theory to examine conversations that young adults reported having with their family members about social distancing measures and what factors predicted the outcomes of these disagre…
Argument interdependence
This study examined the predictive utility of a new construct-argument interdependence-on serial argument goals (positive relational expressiveness, mutual understanding, desire to change the other person, negative expressiveness, dominance, desire to hurt the other while benefitting the self, and relational termination), tactics arguers report using to accomplish their goals (integrative and distributive), and arguers' change in relational satis…
Talking Turkey
Four hundred and seventy-nine undergraduates reported on family discussions about the 2016 election that occurred over that same year’s Thanksgiving break. Family Communication Patterns Theory was used to predict the perceived outcomes of such discussion on family members. Higher conversation orientation predicted a more positive perceived effect of political talk on family closeness. Perceived similarity of political views partially moderated th…
Computer-Mediated Social Support
Role strain and online social support for childless stepmothers
Using Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) Transactional Theory of Stress, a content analysis of 62 message sets identified role strain and social supportive behaviors utilized within an online support group for childless stepmothers. The stepmothers focused on issues related to stepchild living arrangements and interference of the biological mother. Results revealed positive correlations between stepchild investment and biological mother interference, s…
Using the Conversation Argument Coding Scheme to Examine Interpersonal Conflict
This article reviews research that has used the conversation argument coding scheme (CACS) (Canary, 1992 Canary, D. J. 1992. Manual for coding conversational arguments, Unpublished manuscript. [Google Scholar]; Seibold, McPhee, Poole, Tanita, & Canary, 1981 Seibold, D. R., McPhee, R. D., Poole, M. S., Tanita, N. and Canary, D. J. 1981. “Argument, group influence, and decision outcomes”. In Dimensions of argument: Proceedings from the second summe…
Relational closeness
As interpersonal relationships change with the advent of new technology, researchers need to reexamine their theoretical constructs ( R. G. Adams, 1998 ). This study uses survey methodology to examine college undergraduates from the United States. It explores the concept of relational closeness by comparing how geographically close and long‐distance friends define closeness in their relationships. It assesses prior methods of defining and measuri…
Friendships are flexible, not fragile
Prior research has characterized friendships, particularly long-distance friendships, as fragile. A turning point analysis compared changes in friendship levels for 100 college students in geographically-close (GC) and long-distance (LD) same-sex friendships. Results indicated that friendship level and commitment level are strongly and positively associated. Moreover, friendship level and proximity are interdependent with several categories of tu…
Family talk
In this edited volume, Deborah Tannen and her colleagues analyze data gathered from four American families who recorded their interactions for a week. As all chapters in this volume focus on the same families, the authors can analyze multiple themes that appear in family life. In chapter 1, Kendall provides a helpful introduction to the volume where she clearly presents three themes that organize the book: (a) communicating dominance and intimacy…
College Students’ Use of Relational Management Strategies in Email in Long-Distance and Geographically Close Relationships
This study examines how email is utilized to enact maintenance behaviors in interpersonal relationships and explores whether geographic distance between individuals affects this process. Two hundred twenty-six college students accumulated personal email messages over a one-week period. These emails were coded using Canary and Stafford's (1994) maintenance strategy topology. Results indicate that self-disclosure (openness), discussing social netwo…
A model for predicting stress levels and marital satisfaction for stepmothers utilizing a stress and coping approach
Drawing from a stress and coping framework and previous research regarding stepfamilies, the researchers develop and test a theoretical model predicting stepmother stress and marital satisfaction. Factors in the model include residency of the stepmother's stepchildren, whether the stepmother has biological children, social support resources, role clarity, and responsibility for household chores and stepchild care. The results indicate that the da…
Re-Envisioning Egypt 1919-1952
This book presents new and often dismissed aspects of the constitutional monarchy era in Egyptian history. It demonstrates that many of the domestic and regional sociopolitical and cultural changes credited to the 1952 revolutionaries actually began in the decades before the July coup. Arguing against the predominant view of the pre-revolutionary era in Egypt as one of creeping decay, the volume restores understandings of the 1919–1952 years as i…
Re-envisioning Egypt 1919-1952
Re-evaluating Egyptian history
The common view of Egyptian history holds that prior to the 1952 revolution, Egypt was in a period of stagnation. This stagnation was partly the result of the mismanagement of the country by the heirs of Muhammad Ali, partly the result of the stultifying policies during the years of British occupation, partly the result of the upheavals of two world wars and an international economic crisis, and largely the result of inept leadership of the count…
Relational progression as a dialectic
This study claims that relationship development can be viewed as a dialectic. Evidence for this hypothesis is obtained by examining friendships of three different intimacy levels: casual, close, and best friends. Over one-half of the friendships examined exhibited patterns of recalled relational development predicted by viewing development as a dialectic. Five trajectories for friendships were found. The most commonly reported turning points cons…

Using the Parallel Process Model to Prevent Firearm Injury and Death
This paper reports the outcome evaluation of a gun safety video intervention. Guided largely by the extended parallel process model, the video, Bullet “Proof” - The Case for Gun Safety' focuses primarily on (a) knowledge of 6 gun safety practices, (b) susceptibility to accidental gunshot injuries and death, severity of gunshot injuries, (d) response efficacy, and (e) self-efficacy. The video was shown to 175 individuals in 7 hunter safety classes…
