The purpose of the research presented in this paper was to explore similarities and differences in uncertainty reduction and predictability of behavior in initial intracultural and intercultural encounters. Subjects were assigned to one of two conditions: (1) reporting how they would behave when introduced to a stranger from the same culture, or (2) reporting how they would behave when introduced to a stranger from another culture.

Susanna Barber
In CHANDLER V. FLORIDA (1981), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states may experiment with camera coverage of trials over defendants’ objections. However, the Court refused to ENDORSE televised trials or give broadcasters an UNEQUIVOCAL right to televise trials. In reaching its decision, the Court reviewed empirical research to determine the impacts of NEWS cameras in courtrooms. The bulk of evidence examined by the Court showed no significant correlation between the presence of cameras at trials and perceived prejudicial behavior or attitudes on the part of judges, witnesses, jurors or attorneys. But the Court relied on the relevant research only to a limited degree, frequently circumscribing its decision with reservations about the scientific nature of the data, the validity of its conclusions, and the pervasiveness of its implications. The more apparent rationales for the Court's decision lie in support of federalism, the ability of state judges to protect due process, and the notion of parity between...

This study provides evidence for a positive relationship between trustworthiness and physiological arousal. The importance of this relationship lies in previous research firmly establishing the relationship between physiological arousal and differential performance on long‐term and short‐term memory tasks. Previous studies that have failed to find a relationship between credibility and retention of information have also failed to differentiate between short‐and long‐term memory tasks and varying levels of arousal due to differential trust of sources. The data of this study suggest it is necessary to consider the arousal‐retention relationship as influenced by source trustworthiness in studies of credibility and information retention.

Kurt L. Garrett
In eighteenth‐century America adventurous solo actors occasionally performed monologues and songs. The epitomie of this genre in the 1790s was The Brush for Rubbing off the Rust of Care. Although actors performed The Brush throughout the states, they found it to be of particular advantage in the North. It was most dramatically used in Boston, home of a strong anti‐theatre law and of actively hostile magistrates. There it helped one actor gain control of the theatre.

Based on some of the presuppositions of rhetorical criticism, four standards for criterial adequacy in this method of inquiry are suggested: (1) Justification of claims; (2) presentation of the choices available to the rhetor and assumption of responsibility for the critic's own choices; (3) coherent presentation of theoretical framework; and (4) capacity to incorporate other perspectives.

In this essay, it is argued that reliance upon verification procedures has inhibited theory building in communication. Four falsification procedures are advanced and exemplified through communication studies. Finally, several implications are offered for conducting future behavioral research in communication from the falsification perspective.

Recent work on legal communication has emphasized the importance of language style in forming impressions of witnesses and defendants. This study looked at two aspects of linguistic style which have been associated with legal communication—hedges and intensifies. This study also investigated whether the sex of the subject and the sex of the witness were related to subjects’ evaluations of a person's credibility, attractiveness, and blameworthiness. The results revealed that the sex of the witness was related to subjects’ evaluations of his/her credibility and attractiveness when using hedges and when using intensifies. The sex of the subject did not produce any significant effects. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for sex differences in the courtroom.
