She is Professor of Communication and Professor of Family Studies and Human Development at the University of Arizona. She is also Director of Human Communication Research for the Center for the Management of Information and Site Director for Center for Identification Technology Research at the university, and currently holds an appointment as Distinguished Visiting Professor with the Department of Communication at the University of Oklahoma, and the Center for Applied Social Research at the University of Oklahoma. She has published over 240 articles and 7 books. Among the theories that she is most notably linked to are: Interpersonal Adaptation Theory, Expectancy Violations Theory, and Interpersonal Deception Theory. This paper will give insight about two journals that elaborate on Burgoon’s Expectancy Violations Theory. It will also compare the difference of the journals with Em Griffin’s approach about the theory and how I personally feel that the journals may be the same or different than the views of Griffin. Journal 1: “Nonverbal Expectancy Violations: Model Elaboration and Application to Immediacy Behaviors” By: Judee Burgoon & Jerold Hale The journal discusses that nonverbal expectancy violations theory holds that positive violations produce more favorable communication outcomes than conformity to expectations, while negative violations...

...different social-psychological principles that appear to be operating in the events or individuals depicted in the film . For each principle that you identify: (a) Provide a clip to show in class. You may assume that we will have internet access, or you can bring in a DVD (or even a VHS tape), or you may create the entire presentation on DVD to show in class. (b) describe in detail the social-psychological principle you believe is relevant. Your job here is to demonstrate that you understand the principle or theory, and that you can describe it in your own words. You don’t need to do library research for this – using your text or your lecture notes as resources is fine. You need you to show us that you have a good understanding of the concept/principle. It’s best if you are specific about the principles you discuss. For example, don’t just indicate that your scene illustrates helping, or conformity, or persuasion, or aggression. Instead, indicate what specific theory, or principle or aspect of helping/conformity/persuasion/aggression, etc. that your scene illustrates. (c) Elaborate on how the selected scene illustrates the...

...In the fifth chapter I examine in detail conceptual and evolutionary issues of self-deception. The main target of critical assessment will be Trivers’ scientific theory of self-deception. According to this theory self-deception evolved to enhance other-deception. When self-deception is understood in terms of interpersonal deception, as in Trivers’ evolutionary model, two paradoxes emerge. One is dynamic and it concerns the process of self-deception, for in the case of self-deception deceiver and deceived are indistinguishable. Hence, it seems impossible for a person to consciously, intentionally and successfully be self-deceived. The other is so called static paradox and it concerns the impossible mental state of self-deceived individual, simultaneously having contradictory beliefs. Although it might appear that self-deception ensures egoistic efficiency, that doesn’t have to be the case. Some studies demonstrate that it could evolve to support strategies which incorporate short-term sacrifices to achieve long-term benefits by suspending or concealing the impulses for deception and aggression. These findings contradict Trivers’ self-deception as function of deception hypothesis. Accordingly, deficiency of self-deception is in line with findings on violence inhibition mechanism dysfunction in psychopaths. It also accords well with impulsive, deceiving, and risk prone behavior find in population...

...Humanistic and Existential Personality Theories PSY/405 Humanistic and Existential Personality Theories A personality is similar to a fingerprint, it is distinctive. The Humanistic and existential theories of personality illustrate self-actualization, motivation, existentialism and person-centered theory. Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs explicate the humanistic theory of motivation. Man achieves a situation in life established as self-actualization; nevertheless, the principle to achieving self-actualization a high level need, commence with fulfilling lower -level needs. Even though lower-level needs contributed to importance with satisfying higher level needs and completely self-actualization, passing over other lower-level needs do happen. Carl Roger’s Client-centered theory as well humanistic has a formative tendency. Roger’s deemed every substance either organic or inorganic developed from uncomplicated forms to further complicated forms (Feist & Feist, 2009). The self and self-actualization is motivated by motivations, satisfying individual needs and recognizing oneself was significant from Roger’s viewpoint. Regrettably, hindrance to psychological health much like disorganization incongruence and defensiveness may happen. Roger’s Client-centered theory illustrates a model of individuality and the different factors which involve persons’ development. Additionally May has employed Existential psychology, summarizing...

...being vague in order to increase organizational or individual benefits. Eisenberg and Goodall listed the above advantages of strategic ambiguity: Promotes unified diversity, by letting employees giving diverse meanings to the same message. Facilitates organizational change and creativity Preserves privileged positions and Is deniable which mean that by using strategic ambiguity let participants express their feelings and deny any interpretations they arise. But there are some problems with strategic ambiguity. Many are those who believe that this theory provides a license for people to be misleading and promotes the notion that deception is defensible. Last but not least they believe that dishonesty supported by this theory can lead to bruised interpersonal relationships that will likely affect the organizational climate and culture. The results of a study conducted in order to understand what constitutes ethical communication showed that depends on: Different value systems which refer to the...

...Decision-making Perspective to Negotiation: A Review of the Past and a Look into the Future By Chia-Jung Tsay and Max H. Bazerman Chia-Jung Tsay is a doctoral student in organizational behavior at Harvard Business School in Boston. Her e-mail address is ctsay@hbs.edu. Max H. Bazerman is the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School in Boston. His e-mail address is mbazerman@hbs.edu. Abstract Through the decision-analytic approach to negotiations, the past quarter century has seen the development of a better dialog between the descriptive and the prescriptive, as well as a burgeoning interest in the field for both academics and practitioners. Researchers have built upon the work in behavioral decision theory, examining the ways in which negotiators may deviate from rationality. The 1990s brought a renewed interest in social factors, as work on social relationships, egocentrism, attribution and construal processes, and motivated illusions was incorporated into our understanding of negotiations. Several promising areas of research have emerged in recent years, drawing from other disciplines and informing the field of negotiations, including work on the influence of ethics, emotions, intuition, and training. 1 2 Key words: negotiation, bargaining, biases, ethics, affect, intuition, negotiation training Introduction In the early 1980s, Cambridge, Massachusetts,...

...115 Double loop learning in organizations By uncovering their own hidden theories of action, managers can detect and correct errors Chris Argyris Why are employees reluctant to report to the top that one of their company's products is a "loser" and why can't the vice presidents of another company reveal to their president the spectacular lack of success of one of the company's divisions? The inability to uncover errors and other unpleasant truths arises from faulty organizational learning, says this author. Such habits and attitudes, which alJow a company to hide its problems, lead to rigidity and deterioration. The author descrihes how this process can be reversed hy a method he calls double loop learning. Chris Argyris is James Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behavior at Harvard University, and is the author of numerous publications on executive leadership and organizational effectiveness. Several years ago the top management of a multibillion dollar corporation decided that Product X was a failure and should be dropped. The losses involved exceeded $ioo million. At least five people knew that Product X was in serious trouble six years before the company decided to stop producing it. Three were plant managers who lived daily with the production problems. The two others were marketing officials, who perceived that the manufacturing problems could not be solved without expenditures that would raise the price of the product to the point where...

...Big Time Toymaker At what point, if ever, did the parties have a contract? BTT paid Chou $25,000.00 to have exclusive rights for negotiations for a 90 day period. Big Time Toymaker and Chou did not have a binding enforceable contract made during this 90 day period. An oral distribution agreement was made three day before the 90 days deadline, but it was in the negotiations. But the negotiations said that there was not supposed to be an agreement unless it was in writing. Three days before the deadline, after the meeting Chou offered to draft the contract that would formalize their agreement. Before Chou could finish the draft, an e-mail was received from a BTT manager. The e-mail repeated the key terms of the distribution agreement including price, time frame, and obligations of both parties. Chou stopped working on the draft for one month, because he believed that BTT was going to draft the contract. During this time the 90 days had passed and it voided any agreement of the 90 days agreement that BTT and Chou had (Melvin, 2011 pg. 136). What facts may weigh in favor of or against Chou in terms of the parties’ objective intent to contract? The facts that weigh against Chou’s in terms of the parties’ objective intent to a contract are that there was no written agreement, which was required in the negotiations. There was also no signatures were used to make the contract official. The word contract was never used in the email sent from BTT. Also the 90 day deadline that was...

...It is an individual’s mindset with regard to a job. That mental set may be positive or negative, depending on the person’s mental set with regard to the major components of job satisfaction. Supervisor-Subordinate Relationship Supervisor-subordinate relationship is an important influence on job satisfaction in the workplace. The way in which subordinate’s perceive a supervisor’s behavior can positively or negatively influence job satisfaction. Communication behavior such as facial expression, eye contact, vocal expression, and body movement is crucial to the superior-subordinate relationship. Nonverbal messages play a central role in interpersonal interactions with respect to impression formation, deception, attraction, social influence, and emotional expression. Nonverbal immediacy from the supervisor helps to increase interpersonal involvement with their subordinates impacting job satisfaction. The manner in which supervisors communicate their subordinates may be more important than the verbal content. Individuals who dislike and think negatively about their supervisor are less willing to communicate or have motivation to work where as individuals who like and think positively of their supervisor are more likely to communicate and are satisfied with their job and...
