Do you have communication questions that need answering?
Miss Communication (thinks she) knows everything
LETTER #3 - The latest letter from my readers::
Dear Miss Communication,
I have a quick question about the small assignment
due soon... I was wondering what "Context" meant, or what you were looking
for us to put down from the article. Thanks!
Signed,
Context-free Carlotta
Dear Carlotta,
If you recall from the beginning of the semester, there are several types of contexts (relational/social, physical, cultural, etc.).
For example, you might be studying interpersonal deception, and find articles with different relational/social context such as lying in friendships, romantic relationships, and family relationships. You could then look for similarities or differences in lying behavior across relational contexts.
A different example might be if you were interested in privacy-seeking behavior, and you found this topic studied in dormitories, nursing homes, malls, etc. Then you could write a paper about differences in privacy-seeking related to physical context.
There are many ways you can use the"context" category on the worksheet, and it is up to you to determine which would be most interesting and/or helpful to your goals for writing Paper #2.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any other questions.
No
longer living in a context-free world,
Miss
Communication
