Details
This assignment asks you to analyze technologically-mediated interactions using course concepts. Specifically, you will analyze a mediated communication interaction between you and a relational partner of your choice (i.e., friend, family, romantic partner, co-worker). That is, analyze a recent interaction of text messages, emails, Facebook interactions, SnapChat, Instagram, Skype, Google Hangout or any other form of mediated communication between you and your chosen relational partner. Apply interpersonal communication concepts from any of Chapters 8 (Emotion), 9 (Friendships & Professional Relationships), 10 (Romantic & Family Relationships), and/or 11 (Conflict) to your analysis, focusing on how these concepts affected the interaction, or influenced the way you communicated.
For instance, when analyzing your communication might discuss “display rules,” “how technology affects emotions,” “valence of emotions,” “friendships are governed by rules,” “relational maintenance behaviors,” “communication privacy management,” “stages of relationships,” or “dialectical tensions.” Assignments should be typed, single-spaced, 12-point font, and 1 full-page in length.
Details:
- Assignments should be typed, single-spaced, 12-point font, and 1 full-page in length.
- Your paper should have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
- Please BOLD all course concepts that you use in your analysis.
- Aim to incorporate 4-12 course concepts in your analysis.
- Please edit your paper carefully for grammar, word choice, punctuation, and spelling.
- Organize your thoughts carefully. For each new idea, begin a new paragraph.
- Give extra attention to the first and last sentences of your paper. They are the first (primacy effect) and last (recency effect) sentences a person reads as they form thoughts on your paper.
