  • Engaging Men With BRCA-Related Cancer Risks

    Open AccessMarleah Dean, Gemme Campbell-Salome et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Men s Health2020

    Men are at risk for developing hereditary cancers such as breast, prostate, pancreatic, and melanoma due to a pathogenic germline variant in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. The purpose of this study was to identify and provide practical advice for men managing their BRCA-related cancer risks based on men’s real-life experiences. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 25 men who either tested positive for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1/2 gen…

  • The Intergenerational Transmission of Family Communication Patterns

    Emily A Rauscher, P Schrodt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Communication2019Cited by: 7References: 11

    For 50 years, researchers have used family communication patterns theory (FCPT) to examine the associations among conversation and conformity orientations and a variety of family member outcomes. Despite the explanatory breadth of this general theory, however, researchers have yet to empirically test whether or not family communication patterns (FCPs) are transmitted from one generation to the next. In this study, we sought to advance FCPT by tes…

    Open AccessMarleah Dean, Emily A RauscherARTICLEQualitative Health Research2018Cited by: 3References: 46

    Little is known about how men and women who test positive for a BRCA gene mutation or have a strong family history of carrying a BRCA mutation manage disclosures about their BRCA-related cancer risks and family planning decision-making. By conducting interviews with 25 men and 20 women, this study investigated men's and women's approaches to disclosing their BRCA-related cancer risks and family planning decision-making. Guided by the Disclosure D…

  • Reconceptualizing the Role of Conformity Behaviors in Family Communication Patterns Theory

    C Hesse, Emily A Rauscher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Communication2017Cited by: 8References: 19

    Family communication patterns theory is one of the most influential theories in the field of family communication. The current article examines the construct of conformity, arguing that current conceptualizations of conformity paint this behavior as largely a negative familial element. Instead, this research argues for the concept of warm conformity behavior, where parents communicate their ideas in ways that promote warmth and closeness rather t…

  • Family Communication Patterns and Communicative Responses to Jealousy

    C Hesse, Emily A Rauscher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Communication2016Cited by: 1References: 15

    Using family communication patterns theory, the current study proposed a mediating structural model between family communication patterns, alexithymia, and communicative responses to jealousy. Using a college student sample, the results largely supported the predicted model in terms of both direct and indirect effects. Specifically, both family communication patterns were significantly related to alexithymia, while alexithymia was significantly r…

    This study explores the family communication of women (N = 175) who have tested positive for a gene alteration that predisposes them to an increased risk for cancer. More specifically, this study utilizes family communication patterns theory and communication privacy management theory to investigate the role of family communication and privacy management in women’s communication about genetic cancer risk with family members. Results found signifi…

  • Alexithymia and Impairment of Decoding Positive Affect

    Open AccessC Hesse, Kevin Floyd et al.ARTICLEJournal of Communication2013

    Previous research has implicated alexithymia as a psychological impairment to accurately decode emotional messages. This study attempted to explore potential neurological reasons for this impairment. Using functional brain imaging procedures, an experimental design was undertaken to assess group differences between individuals high and low in alexithymia on brain activation while viewing images of individuals displaying neutral or positive affect…
