Testing Basil Bernstein's Sociolinguistic Theories
The purpose of this study was to test Basil Bernstein's sociolinguistie theories. Based on an interview study of 138 kindergarten children, the data for the most part did not support Bernstein's ideas. Speech style indicators did not cluster into elaborated and restricted variants. Neither social control strategies nor school achievement scores were differentially related to elaborated and restricted variants. There was marginal evidence that som…
A Study of Prosocial Behavior and Social Reinforcement in a Preschool Setting
Predispositions Toward Verbal Behavior in Task-Oriented Interaction
Two studies were conducted that examined the interaction patterns of dissimilar PVB subjects in task oriented discussions. Their interaction was content analyzed and subjected to computer assisted Markov analysis. We found predictable behavioral, cognitive, and content differences between high, middle, and low PVB subjects. High-PVB subjects talked longer, interrupted less, initiated and reinitiated more ideas, had higher credibility, and had mor…
Pediatrician-Parent Communication
The research reported here is concerned with accurately describing doctor-parent communication in a pediatric setting, and analyzing how parental characteristics affect the nature of the interaction. Three sets of variables were used: parents' sociodemographic characteristics, categories of medical communication coded from the examinations, and the concomitant perceptions of the interactants. Five patterns of results emerged that help explain the…
News distortion as a function of organizational communication
An Analysis of the operation of CBS News’ political coverage from the perspective of organizational communication theory explains much of the distortion of network television news. Aspects of the control system responsible for the distortion are revealed
The Measurement of Verbal Predispositions
A self-report instrument (PVB), designed to measure Predispositions toward Verbal Behavior, was found to have acceptable internal reliability, content validity, moderate construct validity, and strong criterion-related validity. Subjects were found to have a generalized cognitive orientation toward their speech patterning that correlated positively with number of words and duration of talk in both highly-structured interviews and unstructured dis…
The effect of predispositions toward verbal behavior on interaction patterns in dyads
A self‐report instrument, a test of Predispositions toward Verbal Behavior, was designed to measure the cognitive orientation that persons hold toward the extent of their verbal participation in social settings. A word association task was devised to test correspondence among self reports of verbal activation, interaction patterns, and subsequent social attributions. Results showed a significant linear trend among levels of verbal activation and …
