TL;DR: In this article, the effect of anxiety and uncertainty on perceived effectiveness of communication was examined in two relationships (strangers and close friends) and two cultures (the United States and Japan) in the present study, and the results indicate that there is a moderate, negative relationship between anxiety and attributional confidence across relationships and cultures.

TL;DR: Clinicians feel that when evaluating a disturbed child, they must search as carefully among the myriad possibilities of organic causation as they have in the past among the interpersonal, deprivation, and stress factors; and certainly without sacrificing the important knowledge which has accumulated in the latter areas.
Abstract: For many years it has been the custom among child guidance workers to attribute the behavioral and learning deviations seen in children almost exclusively to the rearing patterns and interpersonal relationships experienced by such youngsters. We, as well as an increasing number of clinical child workers, feel that when evaluating a disturbed child, we must search as carefully among the myriad possibilities of organic causation as we have in the past among the interpersonal, deprivation, and stress factors; and certainly without sacrificing the important knowledge which has accumulated in the latter areas. In many clinics, it has become habitual to assume psychogenicity when no easily recognizable organic deviation can be found in the child. Undoubtedly this has been due, in part, to the difficulty in delineating the contribution to symptomatology and personality structure of subtle organic and central nervous system deviations, and to the

TL;DR: The authors found no evidence supporting the hypothesis that interpersonal trust encourages group memberships and only limited evidence suggesting that belonging to groups makes individuals more trusting, and they used data from the Michigan Socialization Studies from 1965 to 1982 to test the contemporaneous and lagged effects of interpersonal trust on joining groups.
Abstract: This article tests a key hypothesis of the social capital literature: voluntary memberships and generalized trust reproduce one another. Panel data from the Michigan Socialization Studies from 1965 to 1982 are used to test the contemporaneous and lagged effects of interpersonal trust on joining groups and the contemporaneous and lagged effects of joining groups on interpersonal trust. We find no evidence supporting the hypothesis that interpersonal trust encourages group memberships and only limited evidence suggesting that belonging to groups makes individuals more trusting.

TL;DR: The authors identify three general categories of roles of interpersonal communication: (planned or unintended) media campaign outcome, mediator of media campaign effects, and moderator of campaign effects and identify related streams of research that help us to explain how and why interpersonal talk and mass media efforts routinely affect each other.
Abstract: Communication scholarship has witnessed an explosion of disciplinary divisions and specific topic interest groups in the past 50 years that represents either noteworthy maturation or a troubling splintering, depending on your vantage point. As a result, important intersections remain for us to explore. In this review, we seek to highlight connections between interpersonal communication and mass media campaigns by identifying related streams of research that help us to explain how and why interpersonal talk and mass media efforts routinely affect each other. In doing so, we identify three general categories of roles of interpersonal communication: (planned or unintended) media campaign outcome, mediator of media campaign effects, and moderator of campaign effects.
