Communication Strategies: Positiveness

Positiveness in interpersonal communication has to do with the use of positive rather than negative messages. For example, instead of the negative �I wish you wouldn�t ignore my opinions,� consider the positive alternative: �I feel good when you ask my opinions.� Instead of the negative �You look horrible with long hair� consider the positive: �I think you look great with short hair.� As you can expect, positive messages are important to creating and maintaining relationship satisfaction and are used more often by women, both in face-to-face and in computer-mediated communication, than by men. Interestingly enough, optimism has been found to positively correlate with relationship satisfaction and happiness; the more optimistic you are, the more your outlook is positive, the greater your relationship satisfaction and happiness are likely to be. Here are a few suggestions for communicating positiveness. �            Look for the positi...

Citing a Blog Post

    A number of people�most recently a student from Malaysia�have asked how to cite a blog post.   Generally, I think this should do it:   For APA style: Last name of author, first initial. (Date of publication�year, month, day). Title of blog post. [Web log post]. Retrieved from Blog URL.   So, if you were citing a recent post from my own blog, it would look like this: DeVito, J. (2013 April 30). Interviewing exercise. [Web log post].   Retrieved from htpp://tcbdevito.blogspot.com. Another style manual does it a little differently: DeVito, J. (2013, April 30). Interviewing exercise. Retrieved from http://tcbdevito.blogspot.com. For MLA Style: Author�s last name, first name initial. Title of post. Title of blog. Date post was written. Date post was accessed. DeVito, J. �Interviewing Exercise.� The Communication Blog. 30 April 2013. 21 May 2013. Hope this helps.

Love Notes

� Types of Love The Triangular Theory of Love   Three different building blocks are presumed to combine to form different types of love: � Intimacy � feelings of warmth, understanding,   communication, support, and sharing � Passion � emotional arousal and sexual desire � Commitment � the decision to stay in a   relationship and to work to maintain it   Different mixtures of these components create different experiences: � Nonlove � intimacy, passion, and commitment are all   absent. � Liking � high intimacy, but little passion or commitment. � Infatuation � just passion. � Empty love � commitment without intimacy or passion.   Things get more interesting when two or more components are combined: � Romantic love � a combination of intimacy and passion. � Companionate love � high intimacy and commitment, but little passion. � Fatuous love --  passion and commitment in the absence of intimacy. � Consummate love � intimacy, pa...
