All students will be expected to demonstrate that they can read, interpret and critique empirical published research. This assignment requires students to write a 2-3 page summary and critique of the assigned article and submit it electronically through this canvas shell on or before September 23, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. (before class begins). All students will write their article summary and critique using the published research study listed below:

Myers, S.A., & Goodboy, A.K. (2005). A study of grouphate in a course on small group communication. Psychological Reports, 97, 381-386.

Much can be learned about how to do your own research by critically evaluating the research efforts of others. To this end you will demonstrate your ability to read, interpret and critique empirical published research by writing a brief (2-3 page) critical research report that demonstrate that you understand how the researchers arrived at their conclusions, critique their questions, methods, results, and conclusions, and generally tell me what you think of the assigned study (Myers & Goodboy, 2005). Your report is to be typed, double-spaced (with appropriate 1” margins) and follow all conventions outlined in the APA 7th Edition Style Manual. Your summary and critique (written as a narrative—not a bulleted list) will be evaluated based upon your complete (and accurate) answers to the following seven (7) questions:

In a very tiny nutshell (that holds 3-4 sentences at most), what is the purpose of the article? Summarize the purpose of the study in your own words—do not quote from the article. What questions were the authors attempting to answer?
What theory is being used to frame the study? How is the theory guiding the research?
What is the research design that the authors are using to answer their questions (e.g., experimental, survey research, textual analysis, observation)? Is it appropriate to their purpose and the questions they asked? Are there any apparent weaknesses? Are there particular strengths?
Who are the research participants? Do they represent an appropriate population to study?
What questions have been answered? That is, what do you know now that you didn’t know before? What is the “take home” message?
What questions are left unanswered? What new questions have been raised? How could you use what you learned from the results of this study to help with counteractive influence as a leader in a group?
What is your evaluation of this article? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Or maybe you think the author(s) had no opposable thumbs? Why?
Be certain that you do more than simply summarize – you need to evaluate and critique the study and the conclusions of the study.

Identify positive changes related to your challenge that you might make to your communication behavior.

Introduction: Communication Change Challenge (CCC) Parts 2 and 3
This week, you were to continue your observation log (Part 2) from Week 2 Course Project. In Part 3, you are to observe the communication behavior of others who share your challenge and others who perform better in similar situations. Part 3 will help you to identify positive changes related to your challenge that you might make to your communication behavior. This will also help ensure that you don’t fall into the trap of adopting alternative communication behaviors that do not improve your communication outcomes. For this assignment, make sure to observe and write about an individual and a group. You can choose which conversations will be for the positive models and negative models (e.g., positive – group and negative – individual OR positive – individual and negative – group).

Reminder: You are still observing; you should not be making changes to your communication behaviors yet.

Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to the conflict?

/in /by

Part 1 Analysis: Observe an instance where conflict is present, one in which you are not personally involved. (You will need to be a bit of a covert operator to accomplish this.) Answer all of the following:

Describe the conflict scene.
Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to the conflict? Did it appear as if the relationship between the participants had any impact on how either person responded to the conflict?
When and where did it take place? Was it formal or informal? Planned or unplanned? What impact did the location and time have on the outcome?
What transpired? (Be specific.)
What was the surface problem?
Many times when we face conflict, there is a surface-level problem and an underlying problem. The surface-level problem acts only as a symptom of the real problem. Consider both.
What was the surface problem?
What was the underlying problem, or the real problem? If this is unclear, what might you speculate the real problem to be?
There are many conflict management strategies that can be employed when dealing with conflict. Consider which were present in this conflict.
Which conflict management strategies were employed by each of the participants? Did the conflict management strategies change during the course of the conversation? How do you know?
What was the outcome? Was there a winner? A loser? Did there appear to be an impact on the relationship? If so, what was that impact?
Looking back, describe at least two variables that could be changed in this scene to alter the outcome.
Part 2 Reflection of Analysis: Much of the learning in this course requires you to draw conclusions about your experiences and observations based on the concepts we have read about and discussed. For the reflection, address the following:

List two specific things you learned about conflict as a result of this exercise.
Use reference material from the text, discussions, lesson, course objectives, and so forth to support your statement. Answers that demonstrate application of the course material and effective critical thinking will earn the greatest number of points.
