Communicating Nature
This research is an examination of the relationship between representations of nonhuman species in nature-oriented television programs and films and viewer perceptions of those species. Of particular interest were the relationships between the message strategies used to tell the stories of the lives of other species (e.g., action orientation, use of high visibility sources, personification, demonstrations of similarity, and so forth) and the perc…

Dominance-Seeking Language Strategies
The last two decades have been witness to an explosion of research on linguistic features characteristic of dominance and power or the lack thereof. This explosion has been fueled by scholars especially interested in sex-and/or gender-linked differences in interaction behaviors reflective of dominance, leadership, influence, and power. Although sex and gender have received the most attention, variables such as status, context, personality, relati…

Variations in the arbitrariness of ASL
Situational and topical variations in credibility criteria
This study tested the hypothesis that credibility criteria (scales) differ in their sensitivity to topic‐situations. Fifty‐one scales, including nine marker scales identified by previous research, were tested across four topic‐situations. Forty‐one of the scales, including seven of the nine marker scales, were found to differ significantly across the four topic‐situations. Of the ten scales that behaved consistently across topic‐situations, at le…
A critique of factor analytic approaches to the study of credibility
Reservations are offered about three aspects of factor‐analytic studies of credibility: (I) scale selection and factor naming procedures; (2) statistical procedures; and (3) their conceptualization of credibility. Scales have seldom been selected by a pre‐sample of subjects, semantic differential scales have been used almost exclusively, and similar names have been applied to factors which contain different scales. Certain credibility factor stru…
