Communication Yearbook

Communication Yearbook 23 continues the bold series tradition of providing state-of-the-art reviews of the latest communication research. With contributions from a diverse range of scholars, Michael E. Roloff presents in-depth reviews of the most important issues in communication today.

The book includes discussions about a crucial subject over the past ten years: the relationship between communication and emotional processes. The authors do not confine the reviews to research conducted in a single context, but instead draw on scholarship that informs about shame and guilt in intimate, family, organizational, and public discourse.

Chapters reflect the great diversity of the communication field, addressing issues involving:

- Communication over sexual harassment in the workplace

- Cross-cultural influences on management styles

- The mass media??'s role in encouraging changes in body shape

Offering a tremendous variety of in-depth analyses of communication scholarship in a broad array of research areas, this is a vital sourcebook for researchers, teachers, and students alike.
