Fairness And Balance In Affirmative Action Reporting: How Four Prestige Newspapers Cover The Issue, Anthony Flott Apr 1999

Fairness And Balance In Affirmative Action Reporting: How Four Prestige Newspapers Cover The Issue, Anthony Flott

Student Work

The scene was like something from the end of a Perry Mason episode when Raymond Burr has the guilty party sweating nervously on the stand as he tires off accusations in rapid succession. Only instead of the fictitious attorney who never lost a case, it was Bill Clinton on the attack. And instead of a criminal, the “guilty” party was conservative author Abigail Thernstorm. Standing over Thernstorm, who was seated on a stage before the audience, Clinton with a blur of questioned livened what until then has been a rather ho-hum town all meeting on race relations.

A “Dark Side” Of Communication Avoidance: Indirect Interpersonal Aggressiveness, Michael J, Beatty, Kristin M, Valencic, Jill E. Rudd, Jean A. Dobos

Communication Faculty Publications

Although our understanding of direct forms of verbal aggressiveness has been greatly advanced over the past decade, indirect interpersonal aggressiveness has remained relatively understudied. In the present study, items designed to tap indirect forms of interpersonal aggressiveness were written, administered to participants, factor analyzed along with verbal aggressiveness items, and correlated with a criterion measure. Results produced an internally consistent set of item which: (1) loaded on a separate factor from verbal aggressiveness items, (2) contributed unique variance over that accounted for by verbal aggressiveness in the prediction of psychoticism, a theoretically appropriate criterion variable for validating aggression measures, and …

A Study Of Gender Communication At Gc&Su, Erin White

The Corinthian

Studies have shown that within a three-month period, people interact with approximately 500 to 2500 others. Within that number, however, intimates are usually limiteq to three to seven people. Intimacy entails "high degrees of warmth and affection, trust, selfdisclosure, and commitment," according to Verderber and Verderber. lt is to this aspect of self-disclosure within the realm of intimacy that I decided to dedicate a study.

Computer-Mediated Communication And Gender: An Examination Of Two Internet Newsgroups., Teresa A. Paulsen

Seven different female­ patterned language categories were used in a content analysis of 100 messages from each group. Differences were examined overall, and according to each language category.
