This paper is essentially a review of scholarly literature with a particular kind of focus. That focus is to review and discuss research literature that deals with how at least one, but no more than three, of the theories covered in the Baxter and Braithwaite book (BB) are related to one of the course relevant topics covered in the Guerrero, Andersen, and Afifi book (GAA). The key focus of the paper, in other words, is to apply interpersonal communication theories to some aspect of interpersonal communication behavior, so that near the end of the paper you are able to produce a unique, original set of hypotheses and/or research questions. How well the paper does this will primarily determine its grade. In essence, this paper is very much like the opening section, up to and including the hypotheses and research questions, of the scholarly research articles you will be reading to put the paper together. The key difference is that you will NOT be following through with an actual original research study to test those hypotheses or answer those research questions (at least not in this class Smile).
Format:
Papers must be engagingly written, well organized, grammatically and mechanically correct, and follow appropriate elements of APA style. (I strongly urge each student to either purchase or gain access to a copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition. You will need it for this class and for most others you take in our program.) The paper should be approximately 15 to 20 pages long. It should be double-spaced throughout, including the list of references at the end. It should also include a title page with content and structure suggested by the APA style handbook. The paper must be written in either Times New Roman or Garamond font, 12 pt. size. Use standard one-inch margins on all sides.
