Persuasive Communication and Drug Abuse Prevention (Hardcover): Lewis Donohew, Howard E. Sypher, William J. Bukoski Persuasive Communication and Drug Abuse Prevention (Hardcover)
Lewis Donohew, Howard E. Sypher, William J. Bukoski
R1,217 Discovery Miles 12 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The history of drug abuse prevention campaigns suggests limitations in producing measurable changes in behavior. In the past, there was concern over the possibility of such publicity actually encouraging interest in drug use, rather than discouraging such behavior. Although little or no scientifically sound empirical evidence has been found to support such a view, several social science textbooks still refer to this as something of which to be wary. Reviews of early research appear to indicate inadequate methods and a lack of rigor in theory testing. In recent years, however, research in communication and its uses in drug abuse prevention has become considerably more sophisticated, and communication is being used far more effectively. In this book, the editors bring together some of the most successful drug abuse prevention researchers in the country -- along with other experts in this field or in persuasive communication -- to address use and effects of both mass media and interpersonal strategies. This collection illustrates just how far the study of public influence through mass media has come, especially regarding such a vital, relevant issue as drug abuse prevention.

Communication, Social Cognition, and Affect (PLE: Emotion) (Hardcover): Lewis Donohew, Howard E. Sypher, E.Tory Higgins Communication, Social Cognition, and Affect (PLE: Emotion) (Hardcover)
Lewis Donohew, Howard E. Sypher, E.Tory Higgins
R3,990 Discovery Miles 39 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Originally published in 1988, the purpose of this book was to explore the interrelations among communication, social cognition and affect. The contributors, selected by the editors, were some of the best known in their fields and they significantly added to the knowledge of this interdisciplinary domain at the time. In late April 1986 the authors met at a conference centre at the University of Kentucky. They presented first drafts of their chapters and exchanged ideas. Out of these interactions came this book, which has a broad interest across several areas of psychology and communication. While answering a number of questions, the authors also posed others for future examination.

Communication Research Measures - A Sourcebook (Paperback): Rebecca B. Rubin, Philip Palmgreen, Howard E. Sypher Communication Research Measures - A Sourcebook (Paperback)
Rebecca B. Rubin, Philip Palmgreen, Howard E. Sypher
R2,086 Discovery Miles 20 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The development of communication as a discipline has resulted in an explosion of scales tapping various aspects of interpersonal, mass, organizational, and instructional communication. This sourcebook brings together scales that measure a variety of important communication constructs. The scales presented are drawn from areas of interpersonal, mass, organizational, and instructional communication--areas in which the use of formal, quantitative scales is particularly well developed.

Communication Research Measures reflects the recent important emphasis on developing and improving the measurement base of the communication discipline. It results in an equal amount of labor saved on the part of the scholars, students, and practitioners who find this book useful, and it contributes in a significant way to research efforts.
Originally published by Guilford Press in 1994, now available from Routledge.

The development of communication as a discipline has resulted in an explosion of scales tapping various aspects of interpersonal, mass, organizational, and instructional communication. These scales are scattered across a bewildering array of journals, books, dissertations, and research reports--a situation that often hinders awareness and use of particular measures. Intended as a partial remedy to the situation, this sourcebook brings together a variety of scales that measure a number of important communication constructs. The scales presented are drawn from areas of interpersonal, mass, organizational, and instructional communication--areas in which the use of formal, quantitative scales is particularly well developed. "Communication Research Measures" reflects the recent important emphasis on developing and improving the measurement base of the communication discipline. It results in an equal amount of labor saved on the part of the scholars, students, and practitioners who find this book useful, and it contributes in a significant way to research efforts.
