Introduction to Communication Studies - Translating Scholarship into Meaningful Practice (Paperback)

The field of communication studies is one of the most exciting disciplines to study. With research topics ranging from understanding relational maintenance and dating, to learning about nonverbal deception and lying, communication research has produced findings that may profoundly enhance our daily lives if we understand them. The authors of Introduction to Communication Studies: Translating Scholarship into Meaningful Practice believe that students who are introduced to the communication field for the first time should leave their introductory course with practical knowledge they can actually use in their daily lives. Introduction to Communication Studies: Translating Scholarship into Meaningful Practice goes beyond most introductory textbooks written for the ""basic course"" that typically focus on public speaking, group communication, and interpersonal communication. Introduction to Communication Studies: Translating Scholarship into Meaningful Practice is an edited volume of articles that translates entire research programs of complicated findings into simple real life practices across the major communication contexts. Thus, creating an effective communicator in a variety of real life situations and contexts! Available in print and eBook formats, Introduction to Communication Studies: Translating Scholarship into Meaningful Practice: Helps the reader understand important communication research findings published in peer-reviewed journals. Features 44 brief mini-chapters that highlight major programs of communication research written by the most famous experts who are noteworthy scholars with impressive research agendas.
