In Memory of Charles R. Berger
On 25 September 2018, Professor Charles (Chuck) Berger passed away. Because Chuck made immensely valuable contributions to the field, including to both the International Communication Association (ICA) and Human Communication Research (HCR), the two of us thought that it would be fitting to write a tribute to Chuck’s accomplishments, to be included in an issue of HCR. After checking with the ICA Publication Committee, we wrote this testimonial. B…

Role Reversal
Utilizing theories of social confrontation, this study explores communication shifts in family dynamics during emerging adulthood, focusing on the motivations, barriers, and emotional outcomes of health-related confrontations between emerging adults and their parents. Results indicated that emerging adults’ perceived legitimacy and urgency of health concerns play important roles in the emotional expression in their health confrontations as well a…
Social Cognition and Conflict
Testing the Connectivity Paradox
Scholars emphasize the importance of rich communication media for the development of Teleworkers' organizational identification, but tests of these relationships have produced inconsistent results. The connectivity paradox helps explain these findings. The paradox suggests that Teleworkers' connectivity to others through communication media facilitates remote work by affording greater social presence, while also negating the benefits of telework …

Why Teleworkers are More Satisfied with Their Jobs than are Office-Based Workers
This study challenges assumptions regarding the value and necessity of frequent face-to-face workplace interaction by building upon a theoretical framework for the consequences of telecommuting. Using a multiple mediation approach and path analysis, the study examines the extent to which telework affects job satisfaction through the experiences of work–life conflict, stress due to meetings and interruptions, perceived organizational politics, and…
Moderators of Sexual Behavior in Gay Men
Heterosexual Attitudes Toward Same-Sex Marriage
Negative attitudes of heterosexual people toward same-sex marriage relate to the degree to which they are homophobic. However, it has been understudied whether there exists a gender difference in this association. Our results indicated that homophobia was the best predictor of attitudes toward gay male and lesbian marriage, and this was equally true for both heterosexual men and women. However, the attitudinal difference between gay male and lesb…
Tops, bottoms and versatiles
Amongst gay men, the self-label – top, bottom or versatile – reflects the sexual role preference during anal intercourse. This study explored whether this label could predict preferences for other sexual behaviors and the roles within those behaviors. First, the accuracy of the sexual self-label was tested. We confirmed that tops strongly preferred insertive anal intercourse; bottoms, receptive anal intercourse; and versatiles, both behaviors. Fu…

Understanding Interpersonal Conflicts That Are Difficult to Resolve
Our review summarizes and integrates existing research on interpersonal conflicts that are difficult to resolve. Research indicates that interpersonal conflicts can adversely impact families, individual health, team functioning, and intercultural relations. Hence, we need to better understand protracted disputes. We focus on two research programs directly related to interpersonal conflict (serial arguments and perpetual problems) and a third area…
The existence of a bug chasing subculture
This study attempted to authenticate the existence of a controversial subculture of gay men, the 'bug chasers', whose main attribute is an active desire to voluntarily contract the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and examine the tenacity with which this subculture actually searches for seroconversion. Using a quasi-randomized survey of personal profiles, bug chasers were compared against barebackers, a culture of gay men that practice intenti…
Demand/Withdraw Patterns in Serial Arguments
Serial arguing has been linked to relational difficulties. We extend this research by looking at the relationship between demand/withdraw patterns enacted during argumentative episodes and aversive reactions after the episode has ended in romantic relationships (N = 219). We found that individuals who initiated the first confrontation often reported they did so because they were very upset and they initiated a self-demand/partner-withdraw pattern…

Interpersonal Communication Research
This chapter examines theory and research associated with three perspectives of interpersonal communication: psychological/relational, symbolic interactionist, and interactional. The authors describe the origins and key assumptions of each perspective and discuss major theories, current research, and critiques associated with each. The chapter concludes with a discussion of some possible directions for future research
Reasons for Remaining in a Relationship and Responses to Relational Transgressions
Although relational transgressions constitute a potential relational threat, research suggests that some relationships survive them. However, few studies inform as to why individuals try to maintain these relationships, and the impact of their reasons on how they react to transgressions. We report the results of a study among undergraduates in dating relationships that examines staying in a relationship with a transgressor due either to fear of l…
Correlates of the Perceived Resolvability and Relational Consequences of Serial Arguing in Dating Relationships
Sometimes partners do not resolve an argument in a single episode and engage each other in serial arguing as they repeatedly confront one another over the problem. This study concerns how features of argumentative episodes and coping strategies enacted between episodes are related to perceived resolvability and relational quality. A survey of undergraduates in dating relationships indicated that engaging in relationally confirming behavior during…
Antecedents and consequences of explicit agreements to declare a topic taboo in dating relationships
Some intimates try to prevent relational problems by agreeing not to talk about them again. This article investigates the antecedents and consequences of explicitly or implicitly declaring a topic taboo. A survey of college daters indicated that explicit agreements are more likely when individuals declare the topics unimportant to their relationship, but are less likely when the topic is perceived to be relationally harmful. Furthermore, prolonge…
The Catalyst Hypothesis
Responding to Rejected Requests
This study examines persons' reactions when encountering refusals of requests. Three different obstacle types-unwillingness, imposition, and inability-are discussed as determinants ofpersistence. Linguistic moves following a refusal are then investigated to understand how obstacles expressed in a refusal influence the type of response to refusal. Results suggest that intimate requesters indicate a greater desire to persist when confronted by unwi…
Compliance‐gaining message strategies
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible control strategies a persuader may use and to determine how situational differences affect a persuader's strategic choices. By modifying an earlier study of Marwell and Schmitt, dimensions of control strategies were sought in four situations: interpersonal, long‐term consequences; interpersonal, short‐term consequences; nonin‐terpersonal, long‐term consequences; and noninterpersonal, short…
The chilling effect of aggressive potential on the expression of complaints in intimate relationships
This study examined relationships between a partner's aggressive potential and the expression of complaints about that partner's controlling behaviors. A two‐part survey of 160 college students involved in dating relationships solicited information about relational dependence, unexpressed complaints, and a partner's potential for aggression. As expected, anticipating aggressive repercussions was associated with withholding complaints about contro…

Acquiring Resources from Intimates When Obligation Substitutes for Persuasion
The acquisition of needed resources is a necessary part of human activity. Persuasion is a tool that can be used to acquire commodities. However, because of obligations inherent in intimate relationships, the necessity of elaborated persuasive messages is lessened Furthermore, when an intimate's request is rejected, negative responses and counterpersuasion are likely. This article presents the results of a study in which three measures of intimac…
Overcoming Obstacles to Interpersonal Compliance A Principle of Message Construction
Scholars recognize that language can be used to accomplish goals. If so, messages should be constructed so as to overcome obstacles to the achievement of interpersonal objectives. Based upon this perspective, six hypotheses were deduced that predicted the linguistic features of help-seeking messages from obstacles associated with (a) the type of request (borrowing favors) and (b) relational intimacy. The results of a study that tested these hypot…

Acquiring Assistance from Others The Effect of Indirect Requests and Relational Intimacy on Verbal Compliance
This research examines the effectiveness of indirect requests in attaining assistance from intimate and nonintimate others. Prior research indicates that people are inclined to make requests using indirect forms. However, help-seeking research has neglected to consider request forms, and research on indirect requests has focused mainly on issues of interpretation. The results of this study indicate that the directness of a request increases reque…
Tv, Peer, and Parent Models for Pro- And Antisocial Conflict Behaviors
This study focused on the influence of mediated and unmediated models on the decision of adolescents to employ both pro- and antisocial modes of conflict resolution. Adolescents indicated how likely they would use four antisocial modes (verbal aggression, physical aggression, regression, and revenge) and one prosocial mode to resolve two conflicts. Their responses were correlated with four television viewing clusters (ABC crime/adventure, CBS cri…

On alleviating the debilitating effects of accountability on bargaining
Prior research indicates that when a bargaining representative is held accountable by a constituency, tough, distributive bargaining is often the result and deadlocks become more probable. This study focuses upon two variables that have been hypothesized to mitigate against such debilitating effects: authority to reach agreements and self‐monitoring. The results confirmed the debilitating effects of accountability. Bargainers held accountable mad…
The Situational Use of Pro- and Antisocial Compliance-Gaining Strategies by High and Low Machiavellians
This study examined the influence of Machiavellianism on a person's decision to employ compliance-gaining strategies. Subjects indicated the likelihood they would use 16 techniques in interpersonal and noninterpersonal relationships for long-term and short-term consequence rewards. The 16 techniques were placed into two categories: prosocial strategies and antisocial strategies (composed of psychological force techniques and punishing activity te…

On Second-Guessing the Theory of Second-Guessing
To question all things—never to turn away from any difficulty; to accept no doctrine either from ourselves or from other people without a rigid scrutiny by negative criticism; letting no fallacy, or incoherence, or confusion of thought step by unperceived; above all, to insist upon having the meaning of a word clearly understood before using it, and the meaning of a proposition before assenting to it—these are the lessons we learn from the ancien…

A developmental model of decisions to withhold relational irritations in romantic relationships
Intimacy in romantic relationships is argued to influence both the outcomes of decisions about whether to withhold relational irritations from partners and the role of various conflict avoidance motives in these decisions. A study of college students involved in dating relationships revealed a curvilinear association between perceptions of intimacy and the frequency of decisions to withhold irritations. Specifically, intimacy was negatively corre…
