Second: Intersectional f riends do not compete with each other for mates 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Research shows straight females are more likely to deceive a straight female friend if she sees her as competition for a desirable male Benefits to/reasons for establishing cross -sex friendships - Functions of Cross -sex Friendships Serve as social alliance that includes respect, mutual regard, emotional/instrumental support, loyalty Serve as a fall back or back burner relationship Serve as an audition for a romantic relationship Serve as a way to ga in sexual or romantic access Serve as a way to gain understanding of the opposite sex Challenges for cross -sex friendships - Challenge 1: Heteronormative cultural beliefs about male -
female relationshipsChallenge 2: Sexual attractionChallenge 3: Jealousy Components of good research - Core variables in the Theory of Planned Behavior - -Psychological theory that links beliefs to behavior. -Three core components, namely, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, together shape an individual's behavioral intentions. Core variables in the Theory of Reasoned Action - -Used to explain and predict behavior based on attitudes, norms and intentions. -construct of TRA are: behavioral beliefs, evaluations of behavioral outcomes which leads to attitude, then normative beliefs, motivation to comply which leads to subjective norms. Cultural change and stability - -Cultures are not static -They evolve, develop, and change.But deep structures are stable: these are basic things that hold us together (shared experiences). Cultural influences - Historical, geographical, and familial factors that affect assessment and intervention processes. Definition of a campaign (what is required) - Generate effects in a large number of people within a specific period of time and through an organized set of communication activities. In health communication, translation is often needed, Scientific information is complicated...how do we make it easier f or people to understand. Many theories help guide us in the process. Extrinsic inducements (Motivations) - A motivation that arises from an outside source. -You do something to gain an external rewardEX: You are motivated to work a job because you are being paid. Game Theory - Players are rational beings -We are approaching it from a perspective that is logical and rational based -Takes out emotion - focuses on an algorithm - moves and counter movesi.e. negotiationAim to maximize gains and minimize lossesFocuses on moves and count er moves High -Context communication - (Seen in Japan, China and Africa) -Meaning is best conveyed through the context such as social roles, nonverbal channels, receiver -
oriented (Indirect talk) -Imply and rely on context. Impact of nonverbal communication on our attitudes and behavior - The act of affecting or inspiring change in others' behaviors and attitudes by way of tone of voice or body language and other
