Communication and Understanding Revisited: Married Couples' Understanding and Recall of Conversations.

Sillars, Alan L.; And Others

Communication Research, v17 n4 p500-22 Aug 1990

Explores married couples' understanding and recall of conversations to consider how intersubjective understanding in marriage is affected by the ambiguity and coding difficulties associated with particular perceptions. Shows that individual-level perceptions are only partly responsive to direct communication between spouses. (SR)
