This assignment asks you to apply one scholarly idea regarding conflict communication to your own life. You need to apply one and only one idea from the material covered. (Here is the link for the textbook to download and view: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N4RI6vbF9UcMN6TsaL4za-G8vf1zcume/view?usp=sharing I want you to focus on chapter 15: Forgiveness) Due Date is April 9, 11:59 PM through TurnItIn. The following presents guidelines (and criteria for evaluation) for your analysis. 1. Select a context for your analysis. This typically means dyadic communication (two people), although some situations can also involve your family, social media, and social network (e.g., roommates, friends with cliques, etc.). The point here is that you need to focus on one conflict with one or more people that you have witnessed or had yourself. 2. Look for one (and only one) construct, domain of behavior, theory, principle, or research finding regarding conflict communication. This second application paper must use material covered since the first paper until now (April 2, 2021). 3. Be sure to summarize the idea and elaborate on it enough for me to know that you know and understand the idea. Paraphrase the summary (no direct quotes) and indicate what page(s) contained the idea. 4. Organization: Write your paper according to the following organization: a. Provide background to help me understand the relational context that you investigated (1 paragraph). b. Select and develop one concept, principle, or research finding regarding conflict communication from the textbook or slides (if enough information exists). Develop this idea so a typical university student can get a solid understanding of the idea you choose. (1-2 paragraphs) c. Feature communication behaviors. That is, specify the symbolic behaviors where your analysis applies. (1-2 paragraphs) d. Provide examples that specifically illustrate the idea above. Be as specific as you possibly can. You can generate dialogue from memory; that is OK. (1-2 paragraphs) e. Offer conclusions about the conceptual implications of your analysis. Moreover, provide an assessment of positive insights regarding your application of the one idea to communication behaviors. (2 paragraphs). 5. Limit your paper to 2-4 pages, double-spaced and in 12-point font that is legible. 6. Make sure your paper is stylistically clean and grammatically correct. I do deduct points if the paper is not stylistically clean. You should follow a style manual (., APA).
