Inclusivity of students with special education needs and disabilities
Given that students spend considerable time with their teachers, the instructional realm is an important context for studying memorable messages. We sought to identify memorable messages about inclusivity in the classroom that first-semester college students recall from their secondary school teachers. Specifically, this study focused on messages about the inclusion of students with special education needs and disabilities (SEND). Students recall…
What matters most? A prioritization of medical students’ preferences for effective teaching
Guided by rhetorical and relational goals theory, this study explores medical students' preferences for effective teaching using a "build-a-professor" design. Using a budget methodology, medical students (N = 177) created their ideal clinical or nonclinical medical school educator by prioritizing 10 teaching behaviors and characteristics from instructional communication literature. Overall, medical students prioritized clarity, relevance, and com…
Omega over alpha for reliability estimation of unidimensional communication measures
Cronbach’s alpha (coefficient α) is the conventional statistic communication scholars use to estimate the reliability of multi-item measurement instruments. For many, if not most communication measures, α should not be calculated for reliability estimation. Instead, coefficient omega (ω) should be reported as it aligns with the definition of reliability itself. In this primer, we review α and ω, and explain why ω should be the new ‘gold standard’…
Bullying as an Expression of Intolerant Schemas
Attachment, Identity Gaps, and Communication and Relational Outcomes in Marital Couples’ Public Performances
Marital couples’ public performances require the joint communication of two individuals to present a unique entity—the relationship, while remaining true to each partner’s identity. As such, couples are at a greater risk of experiencing identity gaps and their adverse effects. In this study, 153 married couples completed measures about their attachment, personal-enacted and couple-enacted identity gaps, their degrees of communication satisfaction…
Face and resilience in divorce
Facework and resilience frameworks were employed to examine threats to, and the protection of, marital partners' identity during divorce and as they relate to outcomes associated with divorce. Divorced participants ( N = 103) reported on the communicative face threats and support during divorce, reporting greater positive face threat and negative facework during divorce. The non-initiator experienced negative outcomes, including negative face thr…
Instructor–Student and Student–Student Rapport in the Classroom
This study examined the relationships between instructors and their students, and between students, to determine their roles in building positive relationships and an overall positive classroom environment. Of particular interest was the examination of instructor rapport with students and rapport between students. Students (N=232) reported on their perceptions of interpersonal relationships in the classroom and on their perceived participation an…
Students' Machiavellianism and Motives for Communicating with Instructors
This study investigated the relationship between scores of college students (N=210, 114 women, 95 men, 1 unidentified; Mage=19.3 yr., SD=2.8) on Machiavellianism and their motives for communicating with their instructors in the classroom. Students' Machiavellianism scores were positively but weakly related to three motives of Functional (r=.22, p<.01), Excuse-making (r=.16, p<.05), and Sycophancy (r=.17, p<.05)
Verbal Aggression and Viewing the World as a Mean Place
Of 555 college students those rating verbal aggressiveness higher also rated perception of the world as a meaner place
Verbal Aggression in Computer-Mediated Decision Making
Verbal Aggression in Computer-Mediated Decision Making
37 participants receiving verbally aggressive messages during a mediated interaction viewed their interactants as less socially attractive
Students' Motives for Communicating With Their Instructors and Affective and Cognitive Learning
The cognitive flexibility scale
The complexities of everyday life reinforce the need to be cognitively flexible. Cognitive flexibility refers to a person's awareness of communication alternatives, willingness to adapt to the situation, and self‐efficacy in being flexible. Three studies were conducted to establish further the validity of the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (Martin & Rubin, 1995). In Study One, cognitive flexibility was positively related to two other identified cons…
Argumentativeness in Roommates' Relationships
221 college students completed measures of their trait argumentativeness along with measures involving their relations with their roommates. Argumentativeness was not related to satisfaction with communication or to social attraction
A New Measure of Cognitive Flexibility
This paper contains a description of a scale to measure cognitive flexibility. In Study 1, 247 participants completed the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, the Communication Flexibility Scale, and the Rigidity of Attitudes Regarding Personal Habits Scale. In Study 2, 275 participants completed the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, the Interaction Involvement Scale, the Self-monitoring Scale, and the Unwillingness to Communicate Scale. Analysis showed the C…
Development of a measure of interpersonal communication competence
This article reports the development of a self‐report Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (ICCS) that taps 10 dimensions of competence: self‐disclosure, empathy, social relaxation, assertiveness, interaction management, altercentrism, expressiveness, supportiveness, immediacy, and environmental control. First, we created the ICCS, reducing the number of items from an original 60 to 10. Then we established concurrent validity of the scale…
