Participants were gathered at a bridal expo who either "Have a Wedding Song" or have "Witnessed a Wedding Song". Results indicate that people do indeed communicate using music. Interpersonal partners have a wedding song because a wedding song is symbolic, tradition, expresses feelings, important, and romantic. Couples chose a particular song for their wedding because the appointed song expresses the couple's feelings, has sentimental value, is representative of the relationship, has meaningful lyrics, and sounds good. The most important messages communicated in a song were: "I love you", "I want to be with you", and "I want everyone to know how I feel". The most important emotions were: "Love", "Warmth", and "Happiness". Finally, wedding partners generally communicate to their partner or to both their partner and the audience. Implications and directions for future research are discussed. viii, 122 leaves Thu, 01 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7114 2003-05-01T00:00:00Z Ongyod, Anthony http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7100 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between communicative responses to romantic jealousy and commitment. Two hundred and three participants who have experienced jealousy in a romantic relationship were recruited from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa. Each participant completed a self-report survey that measured the communicative responses to jealousy and commitment. A series of Pearson Product Moment correlations were computed. The results of the study suggested that commitment was positively associated with two of the three positive communicative responses to romantic jealousy. On the other hand, commitment was negatively associated with two of the eight negative communicative responses to romantic jealousy. The implications, limitation, and direction of future research were discussed. viii, 48 leaves Thu, 01 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7100 2003-05-01T00:00:00Z Feng, Mei Huan http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7085 In this paper, the differences in perceptions of verbally rude messages as a function of relational closeness are examined. Due to the lack of a sufficiently useful definition of verbal rudeness in extant research, a new definition of verbal rudeness is suggested. Research on relational development provides the theoretical framework through which verbal rudeness is examined. Several hypotheses are formulated, predicting that verbally rude messages will be regarded as more typical, playful and appropriate, and less offensive in close friendships than in interactions between acquaintances. Statistical analyses revealed a lack of empirical support for the hypotheses. A discussion of why the data did not support the hypotheses as well as directions for future research in this vein are presented vii, 39 leaves Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7085 2002-12-01T00:00:00Z Oliveira, Carrie Marie http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7078 The purpose of this study was to explore the communication of positive illusions (PIs) during big fights in dating relationships. A communicative analysis of PIs was investigated. Both members of dating couples individually completed a survey that measured PIs, communication of PIs, and communication satisfaction. The results suggest that partners' PIs are strongly associated with one another, individuals communicate their PIs to a moderate degree during big fights in dating relationships, and individuals' PIs are strongly associated with their communication of PIs during big fights. Only limited support was found for the hypothesis that increases in the communication of PIs would be correlated with increases in communication satisfaction. Several implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed. vii, 70 leaves Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7078 2002-12-01T00:00:00Z Krawciw, Ann K http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7063 This study examined Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory (Gardner, 1983; 1993; 1999) and student learning as well as preferences for MI-related activities in a college-level public speaking class. Correlations indicated positive associations between students with predominant musical, verbal, and interpersonal intelligences with various aspects of affective learning. Students with predominant bodily intelligence indicated negative perception of lecturer and positive association with prediction of grade. Study results also revealed positive associations for students with their intelligence-specific activities as well as other MI-related activities. Statistical t tests indicated that students with spatial, bodily, musical, intrapersonal or discriminatist intelligences had negative affect toward the lecturer while students with verbal, logical or interpersonal intelligences would continue to use behaviors learned in public speaking even after they had completed the class. Research findings yielded statistical support for distribution of MI in a college sample and indicated support for including more activities in the public speaking curriculum. x, 138 leaves Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7063 2002-12-01T00:00:00Z Callison, Mary Elizabeth
