What communication brings to the study of gaslighting
Communication scholars are uniquely positioned to engage in complex, interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from different fields alongside a key expertise in the role of human symbol use. Viewing symbolizing as one of many central elements in complex social problems, we argue that communication scholars benefit when they begin from an interdisciplinary posture in conducting their research. We take as a case study the example of gasl…
Refining the measurement of involvement in applications of relational framing theory
Relational framing theory (RFT) explains how individuals process relational messages during interaction through two content-laden dimensions—dominance-submission and affiliation-disaffiliation—and a content-free intensifier: involvement. RFT research has generally utilized measures of relevance more conducive to the content-laden variables than to the content-free variable. This study advanced a new involvement scale that operates as a measure of…
Insights on affection exchange dynamics in interpersonal interaction
Affection Exchange Theory (AET) is a framework for understanding how affection functions in interpersonal relationships. Although AET has contributed to explanations of relational and health outcomes, the theory lacks a robust interactional account of affection. This study developed an interaction‐specific scale of affection exchange to explore how frameworks of emotion, behavioral motivation, and relational message processing can enhance AET's e…
Rethinking the Rhetorical Epistemics of Gaslighting
Gaslighting is defined as a dysfunctional communication dynamic in which one interlocutor attempts to destabilize another’s sense of reality. In this article, we advance a model of gaslighting based in an epistemic rhetoric perspective. Our model directs attention to the rhetorics used to justify competing knowledge claims, as opposed to philosophical models that tend to rely on objective truth-value. We probe the discursive manifestations of gas…
The power to gaslight
Gaslighting is a dysfunctional pattern of relating that destabilizes an individual's sense of reality. Adopting a communication perspective, this study examined the relationship between gaslighting and interpersonal power dynamics. Participants ( N = 298) recalled a disagreement with a dating partner and provided measures of dependence power and their experience of gaslighting. Results were counter-theoretical, suggesting a curvilinear relationsh…
Dialogic inquiry as a mechanism of the constitutive metamodel
Claims of disciplinary fragmentation in communication studies regularly rest on epistemic bases. This essay provides a counter statement, arguing that a social epistemology contains the potential to organize all communicative ways of knowing. I explore the constitutive metamodel as a plausible communication epistemology, lacking only a robust mechanism for facilitating cosmopolitan scholarly exchange. I then advance the concept of dialogic inquir…
