Present in the office at the time was Sgt Cassie R and L/Cpl Neptune. Whilst performing my daily duties in the office, I was about to use the telefax machine to make a copy of a document which is not an unusual function carried out by the members of the office.

In the first unmet need, RP was having a bad day and has been stressed and wanted to talk to SELF about it. However, SELF was busy and with his own stresses and studying to give her the attention she wanted, and he felt that RP was not being considerate and selfish. This unmet need does not seem to elicit a strong emotional reaction because it seems more like a response to a momentary stressor, rather than an issue threatening the relationship (342, 371-2). Three sad word and two anger words are attributed to RP. One sad word was attributed to SELF. The higher use of sad words relate to RP’s inability to meet a goal, which was the source of her original frustration and anger about her stress, which then carried over into sadness and anger over not getting the attention she wanted from SELF. Since SELF has been able to reflect over the issue and come to an understanding of why RP was upset (337-43), all of his use of emotional words is focused on his partner’s emotions, rather than his own. The anger words used by RP relate to her negative communication behaviors. She got upset with SELF, and she would only give him succinct responses which can be a form of showing disinterest (294) and eventually shut down and refused to talk (312).

(McCroskey & Richmond, 1979) The term ‘communication apprehension' was coined by James McCroskey (1976a) and is defined as "an individual's level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons" (McCroskey, 1984). In the last two decades communication apprehension and related constructs, such as reticence and unwillingness to communicate, have received extensive research and theoretical attention by scholars in communication and

My wife and I have differing opinions regarding the importance of housework. For me, a clean home constitutes feelings of peace, happiness, and a clear mind. My wife on the other hand, feels that organization and cleanliness of the home are not essential to happiness within the home, but that the moments shared within the home create happiness. These personal schemas are important to consider in the upcoming interaction, as our dog has just given birth to a litter of puppies. This afternoon I was feeling overwhelmed. My wife spent the better part of the day sleeping, after a long shift. This left me with dishes, laundry, housework, and puppies to attend to. I felt like I was bearing more of the load in our relationship
