Abstract

Family interaction is being studied from the perspectives of a variety of disciplines. Communication researchers are concerned with identifying patterns of communication and their effect on interactional behavior.
Within the role family context, by participating in the transactional or mutual influence process, students will be able to analyze communication behavior in actual families and apply the knowledge thus gained toward the improvement of family interaction.
