Critical reflexivity, situated in a critical communication pedagogy framework, enables students and instructors to critique their identity positions alongside broader contextual structures enmeshed within the dynamics of intercultural conflict. This study therefore examines undergraduate students’ discourses of critical reflexivity following a retreat workshop experience in an intercultural conflict course. After collecting data through reflection papers, we found uneven understandings and applications of critical reflexivity that reflect the potential of critical reflexivity in helping students to question various assumptions about themselves and others but also the challenges of disrupting dominant ideologies such as individualism to increase understanding of structural factors.

The Chinese Dream is the most important national narrative in Chinese political discourse. Existing studies have mainly focused on its political implications or diplomatic influences. However, limited study has been done to examine the narrative structure and mythic natures of the Chinese Dream. This study provides a cross-cultural analysis of the Chinese Dream narrative, revealing the significant role of the collective hero and the dynamics of a dual protagonist that are deep-rooted in the Chinese cultural and historical context. The analysis of the Chinese Dream has important implications for understanding the significance of cultural dimensions in narrative criticism.

Validating communication is a relational variable tied to physical functioning and emotional well-being and helps couples navigate the stress of chronic illness. In this study, we evaluated relational uncertainty, illness severity, and depressive symptoms as correlates of validating communication, and then considered associations between validating communication and both resilience and relational load. A cross-sectional study of romantic dyads coping with one or more chronic illnesses revealed support for hypothesized associations, illustrating associations among relational perceptions, illness characteristics, mental health, communication, and global relationship qualities.

Scientific research that illustrates links between toxins and cancer are largely absent in public discourse; yet correcting this deficiency is an insufficient solution to promoting precautionary policy. By design, the scientific method avoids questions of ethics. This article examines how biologist Sandra Steingraber navigates elevating the importance of scientific research on cancer while showcasing such research as an insufficient basis for change. I argue that her use of perspective by incongruity in her acclaimed memoir, Living Downstream, enables her to accomplish this task. This article forwards perspective by incongruity as a means to usefully complicate public understandings of scientific research.

According to relational turbulence theory, interdependent partners exert influence in their romantic relationships through the interference and facilitation of daily routines. Programmatic scholarship consistently reveals that interference is associated positively, whereas facilitation is associated negatively, with relational turbulence in romantic relationships. However, as behavioral manifestations of interdependence that may co-occur, there is a possibility that enough facilitation from a partner might offset the effect of interference on relational turbulence. This study of romantic partners (N = 475) revealed moderated interdependence insofar as the effect of partner interference on relational turbulence was buffered by partner facilitation. This moderated effect further informed a theoretical model predicting the perceived likelihood of marriage. Thus, in relationships where daily routines are disrupted often, balancing facilitation with interference may mitigate chaotic relational states.
