Discussion Post: Dr. Carroll's Notebook- Meet Correlle
Purpose
This activity will help you to identify nonverbal communication patterns and will give you examples of communication styles in relationships.
It will provide an opportunity to write your learning, share your thoughts with others, and learn from other perspectives in the class.
Directions
In MindTap, read the chapter 3 entry (including watching any videos included) "From Dr. Carroll's Notebook" titled "Meet Correlle". This activity shows three students who share their perspectives on communication in relationships.
After reading the entry, select 3 of the following 4 questions and share your answers on the discussion board forum:
Question 1) Have you ever experienced something like Shadia described with your partner? What was the nonverbal message and how was it conveyed in the relationship?
Question 2) Have you ever been in a similar situation as Corelle and/or her boyfriend? How did you handle the communication, and what ended up happening?
Question 3) Heather shared her experiences communicating through text and Skype with her long-distance boyfriend of nine months. What do you think are important factors in making communication work in a long-distance relationship? What factors will destroy or damage communication?
Question 4) How do you think modern technology tools have helped communication in relationships, especially those that are long-distance? Do you think these modern advances have been helpful or not so helpful in relationship communication? What are the pros and cons of digital communication for modern relationships?
