Hierarchical Communication Patterns

Paper Summary:

This paper proposes a research study to test two specific research hypotheses: (1) Children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to view televised acts of violence positively than will children from families with open communication patterns and (2) children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to engage in acts of violence than will children living in families with open communication patterns. The paper also discusses data analysis and anticipated results.

From the Paper:

"In addition to the nine self-report attitudinal items on the survey, data regarding the gender, ethnicity, and family constellation of each respondent will also be collected. Specifically, the participating teacher will indicate these variables on each survey and will also identify the degree to which each respondent has engaged in verbally or physically aggressive and/or violent behavior in the classroom, using classroom records and school disciplinary referrals to identify the number and type of acting-out behaviors observed in the course of the present school year."
