Do Popular Collegiate Textbooks in Interpersonal Communication Reflect a Common Theory Base? A Telling Content Analysis.
Webb, Lynne M.; Thompson-Hayes, Marceline E.
Communication Education, v51 n2 p210-24 Apr 2002
Finds 37 common theoretical ideas discussed in at least three of five popular collegiate interpersonal communication textbooks. Divides the common theories into four broad conceptual categories: (1) issues surrounding symbolic self; (2) issues of perception; (3) verbal skills, behaviors, and competencies; and (4) relational perspectives that view the interacting dyad as the relevant unit of analysis.
