Have E-cigarette Risk Perception and Cessation Intent of Young Adult Users Changed During the Pandemic
Objectives: Emerging evidence indicates that young adults who use e-cigarettes can withhold greater exposure to COVID-19 risk. We examine how young e-cigarette users perceive COVID-19 related threat of e-cigarette use and benefit of cessation as compared to traditional ones, applying the health belief model. We investigate changes of such perceptions during the pandemic and their associations with past attempt and future intent to quit e-cigarett…
Good” things take time
Purpose Although the process of fieldwork is often characterised by disorder, the requirement to adhere to a tightly defined methodology and produce timely research outputs often leads the authors to present the findings as though the research has been the product of a linear process. The purpose of this paper is to unmask this paradox, by documenting the disorder and development of a research project 15 years (so far) in duration. Design/methodo…
Aids
Prevention through appropriate behavior is the best weapon available to fight further spread of HIV infection. However, individuals take necessary actions to prevent diseases such as AIDS only when they are properly informed and they feel motivated to respond to the information they possess. In order to achieve a clearer understanding of these two facets of the prevention process, this book examines the interplay of the messages individuals recei…

Family Communication Patterns Theory
Stability and Change in Relationships
Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as argu…

Toward a Theory of Family Communication
In this article, the authors develop a theory of family communication that is based on the schematic representation of relational knowledge. They discuss pertinent issues surrounding family communication and develop a general model of the role of relational schemas for interpersonal communication. Taking the specific environment of family communication into consideration, the authors then develop a theory of family communication based on a family…
Nonverbal communication and marital adjustment and satisfaction
The present study investigates the relationship between nonverbal encoding and decoding of positive and negative affect attributed to relational and nonrelational factors and spouses' marital adjustment. Findings indicate that accuracy in decoding of nonverbal affect was associated with the partner's, but not one's own, marital satisfaction. In regard to specific relational and nonrelational affect, results showed that accurate decoding of relati…

Family type and conflict
The present study investigates the influence of conformity and conversation orientation on how families with adolescents cope with conflict. Using the data of 35 families (N = 117), statistically significant correlations were observed between conformity orientation and conflict avoidance (β = .21, p = .04), ventingfeelings (β = .36, p = .002), and depression (β = ‐.46, p = .048). Conversation orientation was statistically significantly correlated…
Self-Disclosure in Spouse and Stranger Interaction A Social Relations Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine self-disclosure as both a personality trait and an interaction process. Forty men and women engaged in dyadic conversations with three same and three opposite-sex strangers and their spouses on each of three occasions. The conversations were coded for type of self-disclosure (descriptive vs. evaluative) and level of intimacy. The data were analyzed using Social Relations Analysis. The results of the study …
Explaining Family Interactions
Gender-Preferential Language Use in Spouse and Stranger Interaction
Research on sex differences in the communication practices of men and women often ignores the contexts in which communication takes place. By comparing women and men as they interact with both strangers and spouses, the authors present a more nuanced view of gender differences in social interaction. The authors discuss gender-preferential language and present data on social interaction in same-sex, mixed-sex and marital dialogues. Results of a ro…
Perceptions of marital interaction and change during pregnancy
Much of the literature on the transition to parenthood suggests that pregnancy and childbirth arc associated with decreases in marital satisfaction. Recent developments, however, demonstrate that this decrease in couples' satisfaction may be complicated by a number of factors. Among other things, the way couples interact may play a central role in their adjustment to the changes typically associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The purpose of t…
Communication Schemata Within the Family
Analyses from a random sample of 169 families established a dear relationship between schemata for marital and parent‐child communication. Hypotheses were derived by theoretically relating the Relational Dimensions Inventory and the Revised Family Communication Patterns instrument. In families headed by Traditional, Separate, and Separate/Traditional couples, all three family members saw the family interaction as high on conformity orientation. I…

Internal Working Models of Relationships and Marital Communication
Two studies were conducted to examine marital schemata, attachment relations, and marital communication. The first study involved 162 couples who completed questionnaires concerning dimensions of importance in their marriage, their attachment patterns, and communication patterns during conflict. The second study consisted of in-depth interviews of 18 individuals concerning their memories of early family life and concurrent relational functioning.…
Communication, Language and Health
In this special issue, we directed our attention to the study of language and relationships within the health context in order to fill what we saw as a lacuna in the existing literature. We compare and contrast the six articles presented in this issue on four important conceptual dimensions. Each article represents a different approach to discourse analysis, and the articles vary as to which key construct in human communication they examine. Vari…
Implications of Concurrent Measures of Viewer Behavior
Carter's “signaled stopping” technique is used here under different instructions to examine two quite different cognitive phenomena during television viewing of marital interactions from feature films: a change to the cognitive state of “thinking” (rather than just watching), and the momentary perception of action “meaningful for the couple's relationship.” A variety of evidence supports the distinction and suggests directions for further applica…

Dyadic adjustment in relational types
This paper reports the third in a series of studies designed to empirically develop a typology of enduring relationships. The purpose of this study is to validate the category scheme established in previous work by comparing the relational types on measures of dyadic adjustment. A secondary purpose involved an examination of the effect of relational definition agreement and, disagreement on the adjustment measures. The results indicate that coupl…
The Conceptual Domain of Interpersonal Communication Behavior
A provisional taxonomy of interpersonal behavior, ordered as a circumplex, was empirically derived from both the phenomenological and public communication ratings of subjects. At both levels, ratings were most prominently influenced by a Control dimension, made up of the perceptions of socially undesirable behaviors. The circular arrangements of the variables showed that a gap existed in the active and passive affective quadrants. It was suggeste…

Compliance‐gaining in marital interaction
Couples attempted to gain compliance from their spouse. Specific marital types were determined by using the Relational Dimensions Instrument (Fitzpatrick, 1977). Messages were coded into specific categories of compliance‐gaining by the Verbal Interaction Compliance‐Gaining Scheme. This scheme references the bases of power speakers use when attempting to gain compliance. The short term outcomes of the interactions were coded as to whether the husb…

Two approaches to marital interaction
Using the Relational Dimensions Instrument, 80 married individuals were categorized into three basic relational definitions: traditional, independent or separate. The individual definitions of husbands and wives were compared and couple types were constructed. Pure couple types—Traditionais, Independents, and Separates—agreed with their spouse on the definition of the marriage while the Mixed types were comprised of those couples who disagreed on…

Interpersonal Communication in the Casual Interaction of Marital Partners
The purpose of this study was to code the communication behaviour of married couples asked to have a pleasant conversation with one another. Fifty-one couples participated in this experiment. These couples were categorised into one of five basic marriage patterns: Traditionals, Independents, Separates, Separate/Traditionals and Mixed type couples. The middle four minutes of their interaction was coded using the Verbal Response Modes (Stiles, 1978…

A Typological Approach to Communication in Relationships
Two studies were conducted to examine the proposed research questions. The first study developed an eight-factor scale, the Relational Dimensions Instrument (RDI), capable of reliably measuring some salient aspects of relational life. The second study derived an empirical typology of relationships based on couples' responses to the RDI. This study also examined the connection between relationship types and perceived communication styles in ongoin…

A Typological Approach to Enduring Relationships
Married couples, using the Relational Dimensions Instrument, can reliably and unambiguously classify their relationships into one of three basic types: Traditional, Independent or Separate. These types differ in their levels of interdependence, the ideological bases for their relationships as well as their typical communication patterns. The purpose of this investigation was to see if the perceptions of college-age young adults concerning the mar…

Me and My Shadow
A continuing concern of scholars of human social life has been the set of processes through which humans make sense of their interaction with others. Cognitive activity and structures are important factors in communication systems because they represent the filters through which another interactant's messages are interpreted and future behavior is predicted. Cognitive outcomes of communication may be either or implicit. Explicit evaluations are l…

Family Communication Patterns
Mass communication researchers interested in family communication have traditionally assumed that family norms are shared by all family members, and apparent disagreement about family norms has been ascribed to instrument unreliability. A survey of 308 adolescent children and their parents, using a revised Family Communication Pattern (RFCP) instrument, yields evidence of systematic patterns of agreement and disagreement between mothers and fathe…
