"The research focus and comprehensive nature of the content are strengths," Brooks Aylor, La Salle University "This book is very readable. It is well adapted to the style and language of today's college student population," Bryan Barrows, North Harris College "Written very well with student-appropriate illustrations," Thomas Feeley, SUNY Buffalo "The authors have created a text that provides a comprehensive discussion of interpersonal theories in a variety of contexts. It does an excellent job of presenting the major theories of interpersonal communication in an interesting and relevant fashion. Additionally the authors have structured the chapters with an understanding of pedagogy --- chapters are structured to facilitate learning and application of the material by students. The writing style is clear, the chapters are well organized, and students are encouraged to apply the theories and concepts to their lives. While theory has a central place in each chapter, this is not just a text of interpersonal theories. Each chapter is fleshed out with related concepts and subject matter so that students can grasp not only the theory, but the larger interpersonal issues presented in each chapter," Ann Bainbridge Frymier, Miami University

Equivocal Communication (SAGE Series in Interpersonal Communication)

Equivocation is non-straightforward communication, including messages that are ambiguous, indirect, contradictory or evasive. This volume, the result of a ten year report, highlights `poor' communication as an important phenomenon. The authors show how equivocation can be measured with a scaling method that offers an objective assessment of the amount and kind of equivocation that exist in a message and as such can be used in a wide variety of different research programmes.The authors bring together and illuminate several independent lines of contemporary communication research dealing with ambiguous communication: lying and deception; indirect speech acts; strategic ambiguity; devious messages; and contradictory verbal and noverbal messages. They show how equivocal communication can be effective communication and challenge several widely held beliefs about the nature of deceptive messages; they also place the driving force for equivocal messages in the situation rather than in the person.This rich volume provides a variety of experiments to document the nature of equivocal communication in face-to-face encounters, written messages, telephone conversations and in responses of political conventioneers. It is intended to reach researchers, teachers, graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in the fields of communication and sociology. The findings in this book will also be of special interest to sociolinguists and discourse analysts as well as to psychologists and political scientists.
