To date, the study of communicated explanations has been, at best,
unsystematic. There has been little recognition that many, if not
most, explanations are eventually delivered to a hearer or hearers.
These potential audiences constrain the way the explanation is
ultimately shaped. Similarly, researchers have devoted themselves
to the study of "accounts," for the most part without an
accompanying interest in the fundamental processes of event
comprehension. This volume is devoted to bridging the gap between
these two traditions.
This edited volume establishes a state-of-the-art perspective on
theory and research on gender, power, and communication in human
relationships. Both theoretical essays and review chapters address
issues relevant to female and male differences in power, dominance,
communication, equality, and expectations/beliefs. All chapter
contributors share two commonalities. First, each provides a 1990s
assessment of power and equality in female and male relationships.
Second, each reviews respective programs of research and focuses
attention on the relevance of this research to understanding the
relationships of women and men.
Unique because it incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to the
study of gender and the communication of power in human
relationships, this book includes the original work of
intellectuals with national and international reputations in the
social sciences. The volume provides both scholastic breadth and
centralized treatment of issues that form the very foundation of
social and personal relationships. It will appeal to scholars
working in the disciplines of communication and psychology as well
as other areas of social science research.
Entertainment-Education and Social Change introduces readers to
entertainment-education (E-E) literature from multiple
perspectives. This distinctive collection covers the history of
entertainment-education, its applications in the United States and
throughout the world, the multiple communication theories that bear
on E-E, and a range of research methods for studying the effects of
E-E interventions. The editors include commentary and insights from
prominent E-E theoreticians, practitioners, activists, and
researchers, representing a wide range of nationalities and
theoretical orientations. Examples of effective E-E designs and
applications, as well as an agenda for future E-E initiatives and
campaigns, make this work a useful volume for scholars, educators,
and practitioners in entertainment media studies, behavior change
communications, public health, psychology, social work, and other
arenas concerned with strategies for social change. It will be an
invaluable resource book for members of governmental and non-profit
agencies, public health and development professionals, and social
activists.
