Emotion, romantic involvement, and loneliness: Gender differences among inner states and choice of entertainment
Gender differences, mediation, and disciplinary styles in children's responses to television
Metacognition: Thinking about thoughts in children's comprehension of television
This essay reviews research concerning several aspects of metacognition as mediating constructs in children's comprehension of television. Meta‐atten‐tion, metamemory, meta‐social cognition, and cognitive monitoring are examined with respect to their potential for resolving conflicting conclusions regarding developmental trends in attention, effortful viewing, scripts for comprehension, and other problems surrounding cognition and television comp…
Family Mediation Patterns and Television Viewing: Young Children's Use and Grasp of the Medium
A sample of kindergarten and first-grade children was studied in a research center and at school to determine the extent to which family communication mediated their comprehension of television, as well as a series of cognitive skills necessary for such comprehension. Results indicate that, even when intelligence is controlled for, several cognitive and imaginative skills and particular family interaction styles such as establishment of rules abo…
Pluralistic programming and radio diversity: A review and a proposal
Richness of Vocabulary: An Attributional Analysis
Five experiments demonstrated a positive relationship between a speaker's lexical diversity level and listeners' judgments of his socioeconomic status, competence, emotional state, and communication effectiveness. Two other language variables, lexical density and syntactic diversity, did not yield such relationships. Level of lexical diversity did not consistently affect listeners' attitudes toward neutral concepts described by speakers, nor did …
Diversity and density: Lexically determined evaluative and informational consequences of linguistic complexity
Lexical diversity and lexical density are discussed in terms of the construct “stimulus complexity.” Competing predictions are offered regarding the effects of diversity (high vs. moderate vs. low) and density (high vs. low) on listeners’ evaluative judgments and retention of factual information
Exploiting Pragmatic Rules: Devious Messages
Consideration of the relationship between semantics and pragmatics leads to a formal analysis of pragmatic implications customarily made by auditors in this culture. The analysis isolates four types of responses to yes-no demand questions: (1) explication, (2) prepositional implication, (3) relational implication, and (4) transparent question. It further shows how the latter three types can be exploited by devious communicators and proposes some …
