Social and Cognitive Approaches to Interpersonal Communication

Historically, the social aspects of language use have been considered the domain of social psychology, while the underlying psycholinguistic mechanisms have been the purview of cognitive psychology. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that these two dimensions are highly interrelated: cognitive mechanisms underlying speech production and comprehension interact with social psychological factors, such as beliefs about one's interlocutors and politeness norms, and with the dynamics of the conversation itself, to produce shared meaning. This realization has led to an exciting body of research integrating the social and cognitive dimensions which has greatly increased our understanding of human language use. Each chapter in this volume demonstrates how the theoretical approaches and research methods of social and cognitive psychology can be successfully interwoven to provide insight into one or more fundamental questions about the process of interpersonal communication. The topics under investigation include the nature and role of speaker intentions in the communicative process, the production and comprehension of indirect speech and figurative language, perspective-taking and conversational collaboration, and the relationships between language, cognition, culture, and social interaction. The book will be of interest to all those who study interpersonal language use: social and cognitive psychologists, theoretical and applied linguists, and communication researchers.

Consequential Parental Control: Conformity Orientation, the Interpersona

Family communication structure and the motives parents employ when communicating with their young adult children interact to produce several consequences. The specific repercussions that result from increased conformity and control need to be further identified to guide the development of training workshops, intervention programs, and insight to parents wishing to change their behaviors. Thus, this study explored the effect of control motives and conformity orientation (protective and consensual structures) on confidence, independence, and perceived communication competence. The impact of children¿s evaluation of parental control (i.e., viewing parental control as a sign of love and affection) on the three outcome variables was also of interest. The results showed a significant positive correlation between conformity orientation and parental control, a significant negative correlation between parental control and evaluations of control, and significant negative correlations between control and all three outcome variables. Evaluations of parental control did not demonstrate predictability in changes in the outcome variables.
