The Role of Social Toxicity in Responses to a Slowly‐Evolving Environmental Disaster
Experiencing a disaster has significant negative effects on psychological adjustment. Case study accounts point to two consistent trends in slowly‐evolving environmental disasters: (a) patterns of negative social dynamics, and (b) relatively worse psychological outcomes than in natural disasters. Researchers have begun to explicitly postulate that the social consequences of slowly‐evolving environmental disasters (e.g., community conflict) have t…
A Typology of Communication Dynamics in Families Living a Slow-Motion Technological Disaster
With increasing numbers of communities harmed by exposures to toxic substances, greater understanding of the psychosocial consequences of these technological disasters is needed. One community living the consequences of a slow-motion technological disaster is Libby, Montana, where, for nearly 70 years, amphibole asbestos-contaminated vermiculite was mined and processed. Former mine employees and Libby area residents continue to cope with the heal…
Community‐Level Social Support Responses in a Slow‐Motion Technological Disaster
Social support is an important resource for communities experiencing disasters. However, a disaster's nature (rapid‐ versus slow‐onset, natural versus technological) may influence community‐level responses. Disaster research on social support focuses primarily on rapid‐onset natural disasters and, to a lesser extent, rapid‐onset technological disasters. Little research has addressed slow‐onset disasters. This study explores social support process…

Consumer health information seeking on the Internet
Increasingly, consumers engage in health information seeking via the Internet. Taking a communication perspective, this review argues why public health professionals should be concerned about the topic, considers potential benefits, synthesizes quality concerns, identifies criteria for evaluating online health information and critiques the literature. More than 70 000 websites disseminate health information; in excess of 50 million people seek he…
The Politics of Intimacy
A review of previous research suggested a three-way interaction effect between gender of discloser, locus of evaluation of discloser and partner in influencing disclosure intimacy. A social exchange model predicted the specific structure of the interaction. Application of the model yielded four distinct theoretical intimacy investment levels. Fifty five males and fifty-five females responded to the locus of evaluation questionnaire and completed …

Risky and cautious decision shifts in small groups
Research revealed a trend for discussion groups to reach decisions taking greater risks than the group members would recommend individually. While noting the social importance of this phenomenon, no investigators have examined the communication resulting in decision shifts. This investigation attempts to identify and compare the patterns of communication of groups making risky‐and cautious‐decision shifts. Risky‐and cautious‐shift group discussio…
The verbal stare
Verbal staring, a constant “you” orientation or focus on other in talk, was hypothesized to result in defensive responses. Comparisons were made between subject talk under two conditions: “I‐message” in which confederates focused their remarks on themselves, and “you‐message” in which confederates used the grammatical second person to keep the conversation focused on the subject. Subjects in the “I‐message” condition supported their opinions with…
