A Study on Consumers’ Negative Online Reviews and Merchants’ Responses Discourse Strategies Based on Rapport Management Theory

Online shopping is an important consumption channel, and customers can express reviews about products on the platform. Negative reviews can inform merchants about defects of products and services, providing references for other consumers. Negative reviews and responses reflect merchants’ and customers’ adjustments to interpersonal relationships. Based on Spencer-Oatey’s rapport management theory, this paper collects 400 negative consumer reviews and corresponding merchant responses from Tripadvisor. Then the writer conducts data statistics and case analysis on the corpus, aiming to obtain the proportions of strategies for complaints and responses and to analyze rapport management tendencies of communicators. Research shows that consumers mainly adopt rapport-challenge orientation, and the most commonly used complaint strategies are “explicit complaint”, “expression of annoyance or disapproval” and “below the level of reproach”. Most merchants take rapport-enhancement orientation and rapport-maintenance orientation. They frequently employ strategies of “expressing emotion”, “apologizing”, “committing and acting” etc. This paper intends to provide references for establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships and favorable business environment.

Variations of impolite responses in YouTube podcast videos

This research looks at how speech partners react to language impoliteness in five YouTube podcast videos. The research data in a descriptive qualitative framework are authentic or natural in the form of spoken conversations between presenters and guest stars that include impoliteness responses. The five titles of Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube podcast videos served as the data source. The research method consists of note-taking and orthographic transcription, both of which employ a free-competence technique. The method of data analysis used was pragmatic and contextual matching. The research's findings reveal three types of responses from speech partners when confronted with language impoliteness. There are several representative variations in each of the response categories. The basis of distinguishing elements is primarily concerned with variations. Offensive countering is a response variation in which the speaker responds with curses as an expression of annoyance, ignores, or dismisses the speech partner. Defensive countering defines one's position in interactions by considering innocence, seeing oneself as distinct from others (more important than others), and demonstrating an action that places oneself in a safe situation. Face attack response attempts to accept impolite acts, confirm the speech partner's accusations, and work out solutions with the speech partner.

AUTORES, PARECERISTAS E EDITORES: TRIPÉ DO PROCESSO DE REVISÃO DE ARTIGOS CIENTÍFICOS

When interacting with people who are not close to me, or who, although close to me, are not involved in the academic environment, I often hear the following question: “Don’t you work? You just teach, don’t you?” The years have taught me to respond carefully to this apparently confronting question (I say apparently because no one is obliged to know the details of another’s profession). My replies tend not to be pleasant experiences. Either making myself understood is difficult, or, the unpleasantness emerges from my interlocutor’s expression of annoyance in hearing that much of the time when I am not giving classes is spent with activities of little glamour and difficult mental abstraction.

Habilidades Sociales y acoso escolar: un estudio en centros de Enseñanza Secundaria de Madrid

RESUMEN Este artículo es el resultado de un estudio de tipo descriptivo con una muestra de adolescentes de eda‐ des comprendidas entre los 13 y 14 años con la finalidad de analizar el fenómeno del acoso escolar, así como la incidencia de ciertas habilidades sociales relevantes en relación con el mismo. Se analiza el acoso escolar a tres niveles diferenciados: bajo, medio y alto en las 9 escalas que componen el instrumento utilizado. También se analizan: • Los niveles de acoso escolar según el sexo. • Las habilidades sociales en función del sexo y, finalmente,• El acoso escolar en función de las habilidades sociales.ABSTRACT The bullying phenomenon is a critically important subject in educational settings as well as in society. The studies conducted in this line show that people with tendency to aggressive behaviour are charac‐ terized by a distinguishable profile: instability, irritability, external attribution, high levels of anxiety, low self‐esteem and tendency to depression. This paper arises from a descriptive study with a sample of adolescents (age from 13 to 14). It is focused on the analysis of the bullying phenomenon and the impact of specific social skills on it. Nine scales of bullying are analysed: harassment, intimidation, threats, coercions, social boycott, social exclusion, social manipulation and aggressions. Likewise, we calculated a global index of bullying, taking three different levels into account: low, medium and high. Social skills measured by the instrument are subsumed by six dimensions: self‐expression in social interactions, defence of the own rights as a consumer, expression of annoyance or disagreement, saying “no” and interrupting social interactions, asking a favour, initiating opposite-sex peer interactions.Furthermore, we performed analysis concerning the following aspects: Levels of bullying by sex. Social skills by sex, and, finally, bullying according to social skills.

If my complaints could passions move: An interlanguage study of aggression

This study explores the use of the “Picture Frustration Test” (Rosenzweig, 1978a,b) which is a psychological test to measure aggression to elicit complaints by Japanese students in both Japanese and English. A significant number of subjects responded to stress or frustration using the same direction of aggression in both languages but the type of aggression was different. In L1 it was extrapeditive, which is similar to Olshtain and Weinbach's (1993) expression of annoyance or disapproval, severity level 1. However, in L2 it was extrapersistive, which is similar to Olshtain and Weinbach's accusation and warning, level 4 or 5. In the case of one situation, there was an effect for order of language.

Contemporary Plagues and Social Progress

For this address at the opening session of the First Mexican National Congress of Infectious Diseases in Children (ler, Congreso National de Infectologia Pediatrica), I have chosen as my title "Contemporary Plagues and Social Progress." While in medicine the term plague usually refers to diseases caused by Pasteurella pestis, the word has broader meanings and usages. It describes that which smites or troubles, can refer to an afflictive evil or anything troublesome or vexatious, or can be applied to any malignant disease, especially those that are contagious. It can be used as an expression of annoyance, as a mild oath, or with the implication of harassment. Thus, today we are concerned with the plague of plagues, the afflictive evils of the cumulative insults of infectious disease. Additionally, we might be tempted to cast a plague on the system of medical education and on the political process that neither conveys the continuing importance of infectious diseases nor funds the mechanisms for their containment. Or, should the shoe be on the other foot? Should not society cast a plague on us? As experts in the field of infectious disease, have we not failed to publicize that, on a global basis, the combination of diarrheal disease and malnutrition is the leading cause of death in infants and children? Has not our successful use of antibiotics induced unjustified public complacency regarding the problems of infectious disease? Why have our low-keyed reports of resistant typhoid bacilli, or pneumococci or of gonococci failed to dispel the prevalent mystique that science has controlled infectious agents, leaving cancer and heart disease in the public eye as the major unconquered problems in the health field?
