Electronic bumper stickers
The two-phase study reported here examined the content and communication function served by electronic bumper stickers (EBSs). EBSs consist of the sayings that are included in an e-mail signature file following personal identifiers such as one's name, phone number, and postal address. In the first phase, 334 EBSs were gathered and content analyzed into one of five message categories. In order of frequency (greatest to smallest frequency) they wer…

These questions prompted the development of a theoretical perspective to explain this process. Interaction appearance theory (IAT) requires (a) a set of beliefs about the importance and interdependence of physical attractiveness and social interaction in a…

Toward negotiating intentions
Conversational narcissism
Conversational narcissism is typified by an extreme self‐focusing in a conversation, to the exclusion of appropriate concerns for the other. Whether conceptualized as a conversational style, possessed to varying degrees by various individuals, or as a conversational feature associated with various situational demands, conversational narcissism has important implications for the structure, goals, and outcomes of conversation. Results of six studie…
The construct of intent in interpersonal communication
This paper discusses three perspectives of intentionality—the encoder, decoder, and interactional—relevant to issues in interpersonal communication. Each perspective provides a different way of both conceptualizing and researching intentionality. The encoder perspective examines various ways in which intentionality manifests itself within human consciousness while the decoder perspective is primarily concerned with the way in which interactants a…

Communication Paradoxes and the Maintenance of Living Relationships with the Dying
Analysis of communication patterns in the face of dying stresses the presence of contradictory and interrelated factors. Issues of contact (involved/uninvolved), feelings (hide/reveal), and the handling of information (exercise control/abdicate control) are discussed as dialectical tensions that need to be assessed from the perspective of multiactor involvement

Perceptions of communication behavior associated with relationship terms
Individuals use a variety of terms to designate the nature of their relationships with others, e.g., friend, lover, pal, etc. Although expectations for certain types of communicative behavior surely accompany the use of these terms, it was not clear what their communicative referents were. The first phase of this study obtained intimacy-scaled ratings from 100 subjects to 62 relationship terms. Then more than 1,000 subjects ranging in age from 12…

Turn-taking in Conversations
The mechanisms by which people take turns speaking in a conversation are both spoken and nonverbal, open and subconscious. A child of five enters a room where his mother and another woman are talking. The child tugs on his mother‘s skirt for attention and, without waiting for her to respond, he begins talking to her. The mother be-comes irritated and scolds the child for interrupting while she is talking. Fiue college students are sitting in a do…
An Exploration of Deception as a Communication Construct
Even though most of us lie from time to time, it is really quite surprising how little is known about such behaviors. Through controlled observation and laboratory testing, this study attempted to determine what verbal and nonverbal behaviors were characteristic of intentionally deceptive communicators. Seventy-six videotaped interviews provided a data base for the analysis of 32 dependent measures. In addition to analyses of specific behavioral …
