This study used Q‐methodology to solicit students’ descriptions of specific teachers they perceived as effective and ineffective in small and large classes. Results revealed (a) that students perceived different types of effective and ineffective teachers rather than one type and (b) that there were few differences between teachers of small and large classes. Overall, the findings suggest that the combination of behaviors, including the presence of various positive behaviors and the absence of other negative behaviors, appears more important in determining teacher effectiveness than any individual behaviors.

Kimberly A. Kennedy, William L. Benoit
This essay critically analyzes Speaker Newt Gingrich s self defense discourse following the multi‐million dollar book deal controversy. Gingrich used five major rhetorical strategies to deal with allegations surrounding the book deal with Harper‐Collins: denial, good intentions, bolstering, attacking accusers, and corrective action. The evaluation shows that Gingrich failed to deal adequately with allegations, employed inconsistent arguments, and developed strategies poorly. This unfavorable assessment is shown to be consistent with the existence of continued attacks and public opinion data. Finally, several implications of this analysis are discussed.

This study investigated strategies used by college students to persuade peers to consume an alcoholic beverage. Six strategies were identified: simple offer, statement of benefits, availability, minimization, appeal to group norms, and facilitation. The most common persuasive strategy was a simple offer (46.4%). Initial offers were more likely to be simple (71.2%) follow‐up offers were more likely to be complex (61.8%). Resistance to simple and complex offers was equally likely to be met with additional persuasion. Direct refusals prompted simple offers as follow‐strategies; excuses prompted minimizations. Implications for prevention programs are discussed; recommendations for future research are provided.

S. Miller
This paper will analyze the construction of gender in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election for the two primary candidates—Ann Richards and George W. Bush. This analysis invites two conclusions: The gender identities constructed for both Ann Richards and George W. Bush entailed a combination of traditionally masculine and feminine images and themes, as well as an articulation of particularly “feminist” issues. The result was the construction of a woven gender both rhetorically useful and increasingly utilized by both sexes in mediated politics.

M. Hasian, Lisa A. Flores
This essay explores the rhetorical significance of the 1987–1993 Palestinian uprising known as the “Intifada.” Eschewing traditional notions of nationalism that focus on military conquest or diplomatic treaties, the authors argue that the “children of the stones” use mythic tales as a way of creating a collective identity, a historical tradition, and a Palestinian nation. Building on the work of other communication scholars, the essay claims that symbolic constructions were an important part of the persuasive efforts of Palestinians who sought to mobilize support for the Intifada.

This study uses a dramatistic and rhetorical approach in tracking the trail of influence used by one organization to influence media coverage of a controverserial policy issue. Using the lens of fantasy theme analysis, it examines the strategies of a publicity campaign developed to persuade opinion leaders and the public at large that casino‐style riverboat gambling should be approved in Iowa. Following the trail of influence from inception to outcome, it raises questions about the media's so‐called “gatekeeping” function, the role of rhetorical artistry in gaining desired news coverage, and the problems of muted and rhetorically unsophisticated dissident voices in public policy debates.

Based upon a review of computer‐mediated communication (CMC) research—focusing upon those works concerned with the organizational adoption of new technologies (I)—the purpose of this article is to show how the systemic application of diffusion of innovations theory can produce more democratically developed organizations in Cyberspace. This objective is grounded in a structural analysis of the Southern States Communication Association's World Wide Web Network (SSCA‐Web). Using Rogers’ concept of a change agent as the theoretical understructure of this article, I contrast the postulatory against the actual; considering the changes that must occur, by principal, if the SSCA‐Web is to mature (II). As a result of this inquiry, the generalizable product of this work is lastly presented: The Change Agent Diffusional Model for Decentralized Virtual Organization Development (III).
