Ill. METHODS
A. Subjects
This research study used a convenience sample. A total of 58 undergraduate students, 27 males, and 31 females, who were enrolled in basic Communication classes at a South Texas University, agreed to participate in this study. Respondents were assured that their participation was anonymous and notified that the professor for the respective class approved this study. Each male and female respondent randomly assigned to one of the four self-report rating scales. Demographic information of the respondents such as sex, age, and year classification was asked but was not a qualification to be a participant.
B. Design
The design of the experiment was a One-Way ANOVA with four conditions. The independent variables were sex of the subject (male, female) and sex of “perceived” partner (same, opposite). This study is a full experimental posttest-only equivalent group design assigning subjects randomly to one of the four conditions established next.
Each condition has an instruction/scenario modified for the purpose of the study. Condition A requests Males subjects imagining an interacting with another Male in CMC. Condition B requests Males subjects imagining an interacting with another Female in CMC. Condition C requests Female subjects imagining an interacting with another Male in CMC. Condition D requests Female subjects imagining an interacting with another Female in CMC.
C. Dependent Variable
The dependent variable measures the amount of

There are many variables in interpersonal communication; sex and gender, race and ethnicity, age and social class, just to name a few. The variables in which were most present in
My personal communication philosophy includes two factors that will support improved comprehension among those attempting to connect. The following paper will discuss these two elements: merging communication styles to aid in understanding and communication intent vs. perception.
While doing extensive research for the Phase II worksheet, our project team tackled numerous ideas and concepts that relate to the communicator, the message of we are conveying, and the audience that we are trying to persuade. Primarily, our research focused on broader concepts that identified and encompassed all potential concepts and theories that may have applied to our cause, but later was narrowed down to specific variables that were utilized throughout our study and intervention poster.
The data collected from this experiment will not contain personal identifiable information. Only the researchers involved with this experiment will have access to the data collected. The paperwork will be stored in a locked file cabinet and the data stored on hard drive on a password protected computer. All information obtained from participants will be kept confidential and protected from unauthorized access. All data sheets will be coded with group labels and numbers. No personal identifying marks of any kind will be present on any of the data forms. The data sheets will be stored separately from the signed consent forms. All data from this study will be reported as group averages. No single identifiable cases will ever be reported.
Good communication is a criterion that sets many students apart in terms of traits. This is useful when building any form of rapport between them and the lecture or tutor. A student that respectfully communicates has also come out as self-motivated and is more likely to get more help from the teacher since their problems are aired out effectively. Students that do not communicate can be misjudged and mistaken for lack of motivation and self-confidence. In addition, students who are good communicators are made, not born (Floyd, 2013).
“Communication competence is an important interpersonal skill, and it requires awareness of our individual communication patterns” (Bevan & Sole, 2014).
There have always been people saying that violent movies and video games harm children and make them more susceptible to display violent behavior. According to Albert Bandura’s Study called the “Bobo Doll Experiment” this is true. Through this experiment and a few other’s Bandura came up with the Social Learning Theory. The Social Learning Theory is the theory that Bandura used to describe a way of learning through observation or direct instructions.
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to gather, classify and evaluate information from previous studies for scientific data to support long held beliefs in relation to recreational reading and academic performance. The belief that recreational reading results in stronger reading, vocabulary, writing and spelling abilities has influenced curriculum and lesson plan choices and, in particular, free reading homework assignments. Upon evaluation of the data gathered it is determined that, while there is an upward spiral causation, it varies from age group to age group, has greater effect depending on the subject’s initial reading abilities and has varied effect depending on the skill being tested. The study concluded that not only is
As part of a class assignment, students were asked to be a part of an experiment. Fifty-nine females and thirteen males participated in this experiment. The students were taken and put in rooms by themselves and given headphones with a microphone and given instructions. The participants were told that they were to discuss problems that college kids face. They were told that the experimenter would not be listening to the discussion as it was happening. The microphones were set up so that only one was on at a time. They would switch participants every two minutes, so everyone would get a chance to speak and comment. Three different groups were used in this experiment. A group was either just the subject and the victim confederate or a group with either one or four other confederates other than the victim. The other confederates were actually just
Evaluating my Interpersonal Communication competence is not an everyday activity, as I rarely think about whether or not I communicate effectively. Sometimes I mistakenly assume that my ability to be a good communicator is confirmed by my success in networking and interviews. In reality, this is not accurate. Regardless, it is important to establish my strengths and weaknesses to take the first steps to work on becoming a better and effective communicator. First, I must form a platform with my strengths and then work on the weaknesses. By taking the Interpersonal Communication Assessment, I realized that my scores are fairly consistent. This assessment helped me conceptualize my strengths and weaknesses. Some of my strengths are in effectiveness,
Good communication is key to having successful personal and professional relationships. In some situations it can be necessary to adjust communication styles in order to communicate more successfully (B. Reece & Reece, 2017). In this journal entry I will discuss the dominance, and sociability scales, as well as my own personal communication style.
Our ability to communicate well with others is important to personal and professional success. The interpersonal communications course is planned to help us in being familiar with the system of effective, and to assess our own interpersonal ability to sharpen our critical understanding of the communication, also to improve the interpersonal skills. Mainly assess our interpersonal skills and to put in goals for improving our communications ability. To development of self-concept and identity are examined as basics for understanding personal communication. We explore our own communication behaviors and to identify areas of personal strengths and
This paper explores multiple studies on the many listening barriers in communication. Specifically, this paper focuses on a study done about the frequent listening barriers and how they can affect listening effectiveness. In addition, It discuses the many individual listening barriers. It explores six major listening factors that come from the multiple listening barriers. The main study this paper revolves around is conducted by Steven Golen (1990), conducted with university students and their opinions of frequent barriers to effective listening. The study explores the most frequently encountered listening barriers in communication.
