Understanding The Accident Process: Crisis Intervention For The Industrially Injured, Karen W. Sharpe Oct 1983

Understanding The Accident Process: Crisis Intervention For The Industrially Injured, Karen W. Sharpe

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Understanding the concept of the accident process plays a significant role in determining the course of treatment for the industrially injured. The accident process suggests that underlying psycho-social factors may result in the occurrence and/or maintenance of a state of disability. This disabled state provides greater needs satisfaction for the individual than his habitual behavioral repertoire. the development of the accident process suggests a state of crisis, either as a result of chronic difficulty or an acute reaction to sudden onset of illness or injury. Total rehabilitation of the individual is facilitated by a crisis intervention approach.

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark Oct 1983

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Reflecting on communication studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, this article questions whether a national field definition would meaningfully resolve local problems of identity, curriculum, and administrative recognition. It describes a department combining speech communication, mass communication, and linguistics, where student demand and public perception have made mass communication more visible than speech. The article considers possible unifying labels, including rhetoric and public communication, while noting practical limits created by professional tracks, degree requirements, community needs, and institutional expectations. It argues that departments will continue to be judged by what they do rather than by field labels, and …

Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Graduate Communication Program, Lawrence B. Rosenfeld Oct 1983

Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Graduate Communication Program, Lawrence B. Rosenfeld

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using editorial experience as a point of departure, this article argues that graduate communication programs must give sustained attention to research methodology and scholarly writing. It links publication to professional advancement while emphasizing broader benefits of research training, including skepticism, problem solving, careful inference, and responsible evaluation of evidence. The article identifies recurring manuscript problems involving significance, research design, statistical method, writing clarity, documentation, and physical presentation. It also suggests that weak research often reflects not only technical problems but also attitudes toward inquiry, communication, and professional contribution. The article contributes to graduate education by connecting research instruction, writing pedagogy, …

Saving Communication At Suny, Albany, Kathleen E. Kendall Oct 1983

Saving Communication At Suny, Albany, Kathleen E. Kendall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Describing a departmental survival effort at SUNY Albany, this case study recounts how the Department of Rhetoric and Communication responded when administrators considered dissolving it and redistributing faculty into other units. The account identifies several sources of vulnerability, including understaffing, faculty turnover, heavy enrollments, uncertain disciplinary fit within the humanities, and limited understanding of communication by campus colleagues. It also explains how student response, support from key administrators, faculty unity, strategic documentation, and a university wide study committee helped preserve the department. The case concludes with lessons about resource allocation, administrative location, collective faculty action, and the importance of building …

Communication Studies At The University Of Massachusetts, Jay Savereid Oct 1983

Communication Studies At The University Of Massachusetts, Jay Savereid

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on the University of Massachusetts Amherst, this case study recounts how a long range planning process initially recommended terminating the Department of Communication Studies as an independent unit. The account traces the department’s movement from being targeted for dissolution to being removed from later lists of heavily affected majors, while noting continued uncertainty about administrative reasoning. It identifies vulnerabilities involving disciplinary misunderstanding, uneven fit within social sciences, nonpublishing faculty, resource scarcity, high undergraduate demand, and overcrowded courses. The department defended itself by arguing for intellectual coherence, teaching and research quality, student demand, and the distinctiveness of mass communication from …

Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza Oct 1983

Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Framing sexual harassment as an issue of communication ethics and responsibility, this article argues that speech communication professionals should help create informed, sensitive, and practical discussion about harassment on campus. It distinguishes unwanted harassment from consensual attention, notes the role of power in many incidents, and explains that legal definitions do not fully resolve ethical responsibilities. The article identifies three communication responsibilities: discussing the issue honestly and supportively, telling a harasser directly when conduct is unwelcome, and encouraging potential harassers to consider audience, feedback, intent, and effect before speaking or acting. It emphasizes self esteem, assertiveness, institutional policy, grievance procedures, …

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, Dwight Freshley Oct 1983

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, Dwight Freshley

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using the University of Georgia as an institutional case, this article examines how local departmental structures complicate national efforts to define speech communication as a coherent academic field. It compares broad disciplinary definitions from the Speech Communication Association with the narrower curricular and administrative realities of one department, where communication related areas are dispersed across multiple colleges and schools. The article discusses curriculum revisions, public and interpersonal communication as a departmental core, relations with theatre, journalism, management, and speech pathology, and administrative issues involving promotion review, system committees, service courses, and disciplinary visibility. It contributes to communication administration by showing …

Approaching Speech Communication From A Social Scientific Perspective, Alvin Goldberg Oct 1983

Approaching Speech Communication From A Social Scientific Perspective, Alvin Goldberg

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Framing speech communication through a social scientific lens, this article argues that the field can be understood through its content, theories, research methods, critical standards, and applications. It describes how scientifically oriented scholars expanded communication study beyond formal public address to include intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, organizational, and interorganizational processes. The article emphasizes theory development, varied empirical and descriptive methods, standards for evaluating research and coursework, and applications grounded in research findings rather than solely in rhetorical or artistic principles. It also notes tensions between academic respectability and skill development. The article contributes to field definition by presenting social scientific inquiry …

Toward A Definition Of Communication: Speech Communication In The Context Of The Field Of Communication, Theodore Clevenger Jr. Oct 1983

Toward A Definition Of Communication: Speech Communication In The Context Of The Field Of Communication, Theodore Clevenger Jr.

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Reconsidering earlier attempts to define communication, this article argues that communication and speech communication are better understood as fields of study than as unified disciplines with a single core. It uses a Wittgensteinian model of overlapping strands to explain how diverse specialties such as rhetoric, television production, phonetics, advertising, organizational communication, nonverbal communication, and oral interpretation can belong to the same field without sharing one common element. The article rejects narrow definitions that would exclude legitimate areas of inquiry and instead proposes identifying enduring questions that connect speech communication specialties. It contributes to field definition by framing coherence as a …

A Faculty Perspective On Academic Employment Opportunities, Bruce E. Gronbeck

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written as a reflective assessment of academic employment prospects, this article considers job opportunities for communication graduates in elementary, secondary, and higher education. It identifies positive indicators in school settings, including certification, basic skills mandates, communication curriculum labels, and continuing attention to speaking and listening. For higher education, it points to demand in business, professional, organizational, broadcasting, film, mass communication, and renewed rhetorical studies, while also noting enrollment decline, budget pressure, and possible departmental vulnerability. The article cautions departments against overcommitting permanent resources during periods of high demand and urges coordinated work across educational levels to sustain communication education and …

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson Oct 1983

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written from a dean’s perspective, this article identifies factors that can strengthen speech communication programs during periods of budget pressure and program review. It argues that communication benefits from broad societal growth, employer demand for speaking, listening, interpersonal, and writing abilities, and strong student interest, but also faces economic retrenchment and possible overproduction of academic doctorates. The article recommends four priorities for program survival: high quality research, stronger relationships with other disciplines, balance between theoretical study and competence based instruction, and development of public constituencies including alumni and campus partners. It frames these priorities not only as defensive strategies but …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Opening with examples from communication and university settings, this article examines sexual harassment as an ethical problem in academic life.

An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii Aug 1983

An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using publication data from major speech communication journals, this article examines institutional prestige by tracing where published authors earned their highest degrees. Rather than ranking departments by current faculty output, the study credits articles to the institutions granting authors’ degrees, arguing that graduate productivity offers another indicator of program influence. The analysis reports patterns by degree level, departmental affiliation, and degree granting institution, then compares the resulting rankings with earlier studies based on departmental productivity and editorial board membership. The article identifies broad overlap among several ranking approaches while cautioning that publication counts do not measure article quality and may …

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis Aug 1983

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the overlap between collective bargaining and academic administration in communication departments. It uses a four process model of labor negotiation to compare bargaining work with departmental leadership, focusing on distributive bargaining, integrative bargaining, attitudinal structuring, and intraorganizational bargaining. The discussion connects negotiation over scarce resources with administrative decisions about equipment, faculty positions, operating funds, and program priorities. It also considers how problem solving, cooperation, trust, and legitimacy shape both contract administration and departmental governance. The article emphasizes the boundary role faced by negotiators and chairpersons, who must represent constituencies while working with external decision makers. It suggests …
