Important Aspect Of Communication Research Articles

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION IN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

Communication is necessary all the time within an organization, whether for training, a meeting, or even a small instruction, good communication is essential. The most important aspect of communication is not just what the communicator is saying, but how the listener is receiving that communication and whether it is assertive enough to lead to exactly what was requested; otherwise, it can result in rework for both parties. Communication is fundamental for any type of organization; however, when it is done incorrectly, it can harm the productivity of employees and consequently the company's results. Thus, this research aimed to identify the communication channels between leaders and subordinates, the impacts on subordinates' productivity, and areas for improvement to achieve more assertive communication within organizations. This research highlights the importance of communication, but also the assertiveness of this communication between leaders and subordinates. In this way, it was concluded that there is a need for measures to improve the assertiveness of communication in organizations, in order to achieve goals and objectives. Through research with 24 interviewees, who work as leaders and subordinates in large multinational companies in the city of São Paulo, it was observed that assertive communication is extremely important and can have a positive or negative impact on their activities.

Analysis of Expressive Illocutionary Act Found in Night School Movie

Abstract Language is an important aspect of communication that is used to interact, speak, and express feelings. Expressive speech acts are typically the facets of speech acts commonly employed in communication. This study examines the significance of expressive illocutionary acts in human communication, focusing specifically on the Night School movie. This study applies a qualitative descriptive approach. In this study, the concept of expressive illocutionary acts proposed by Searle (1979) is used as a theoretical framework that guides the investigations carried out. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the various expressive illocutionary acts performed by the characters in the Night School movie. The findings reveal six types of expressive illocutionary acts: thanking, apologizing, congratulating, wishing, attitude, and greeting. Through the application of pragmatics, the study offers insights into the interpretation and understanding of the communicative events within the film, highlighting the importance of expressive illocutionary acts in conveying emotions and shaping interpersonal dynamics. This research contributes to the broader field of pragmatics and provides a framework for analyzing expressive illocutionary acts in film. Keywords: pragmatics, expressive illocutionary act, night school movie

A person needs to be able to improve social and emotional skills in order to succeed in life or at school, since the ability to recognize the emotional state of the people around us and express our emotions in certain life situations is considered one of the most important aspects of communication in the modern world. Emotional intelligence is a skill that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The benefits and effects of developing this type of skill from an early age are enormous. It should be noted that, firstly, it has a great influence on the correct transfer of knowledge, and secondly, by intensifying emotions, information can be quickly and efficiently conveyed. This type of skill is known in society as EQ, that is, the ability to manage, understand and use one’s own emotions, as well as understands the feelings of others, is considered a key characteristic of emotional intelligence

Engaging with care in an early intervention for psychosis program: The role of language, communication, and culture.

Language is an important aspect of communication and language status is known to impact healthcare accessibility, its perceived suitability, and outcomes. However, its influence on treatment engagement and/or disengagement is unknown. Our study therefore sought to investigate the impact of language on service disengagement in an early intervention psychosis program in Montreal, Quebec (a province with French as the official language). We aimed to compare service disengagement between a linguistic minority group (i.e., English) vis-à-vis those whose preferred language was French and to explore the role of language in service engagement. Using a mixed methods sequential design, we tested preferred language and several sociodemographic characteristics associated with service disengagement in a time-to-event analysis with Cox proportional hazards regression models (N = 338). We then conducted two focus groups with English (seven patients) and French speakers (five patients) to further explore differences between the two linguistic groups. Overall, 24% (n = 82) disengaged from the service before the two-year mark. Those whose preferred language was English were more likely to disengage (n = 47, 31.5%) than those whose preferred language was French (n = 35, 18.5%; χ2 = 9.11, p < .01). This remained significant in the multivariate regression. In focus groups, participants identified language as one aspect of a complex communication process between patients and clinicians and highlighted the importance of culture in the clinical encounter. Language status of patients plays an important role in their engagement with early psychosis services. Our findings underscore the value of establishing communication and cultural understanding in creating clinical/therapeutic alliance.

Patient Anxiety and Communication Experience in the Emergency Department: A Mobile, Web-Based, Mixed-Methods Study on Patient Isolation During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Anxiety and communication difficulties in the emergency department (ED) may increase for various reasons, including isolation due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, little research on anxiety and communication in EDs exists. This study explored the isolation-related anxiety and communication experiences of ED patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. A prospective mixed-methods study was conducted from May to August 2021 at the Samsung Medical Center ED, Seoul. There were two patient groups: isolation and control. Patients measured their anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI X1) at two time points, and we surveyed patients at two time points about factors contributing to their anxiety and communication experiences. These were measured through a mobile web-based survey. Researchers interviewed patients after their discharge. ED patients were not anxious regardless of isolation, and there was no statistical significance between each group at the two time points. STAI X1 was 48.4 (standard deviation [SD], 8.0) and 47.3 (SD, 10.9) for early follow-up and 46.3 (SD, 13.0) and 46.2 (SD, 13.6) for late follow-up for the isolation and control groups, respectively. The clinical process was the greatest factor contributing to anxiety as opposed to the physical environment or communication. Communication was satisfactory in 71.4% of the isolation group and 66.7% of the control group. The most important aspects of communication were information about the clinical process and patient status. ED patients were not anxious and were generally satisfied with medical providers' communication regardless of their isolation status. However, patients need clinical process information for anxiety reduction and better communication.

STUDENTS' ENGLISH VOWEL PRONUNCIATION IN HANDLING PHONE CALLS

Language is an important aspect of communication, and is a tool for expressing ourself, thoughts and ideas. Currently, people are required to master a foreign language, one of the most widely used languages is English. In mastering English, as well as learning languages in general, it has been divided into five skills, namely speaking, listening, writing, reading, and structure/ grammar. One of the skills discussed in this study is speaking (pronunciation of vowels) in the practice of handling telephone calls. In this study, data collection was collected by using the observation method and the data analyzed in this study were qualitative data. The data was obtained from 20 students of Triatma Mulya University who were taking English course in Post Intermediate Level. Then the data was processed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. During the learning process, students experience problems in pronouncing English. This can be seen in the pronunciation of vowel sounds that are not in accordance with the pronunciation standards in English especially vowel pronunciation such as /É”/ which becomes /a/, vowel /É’/ which becomes /o/, /i:/ which becomes /e/, and vowel /u:/ which becomes /o/. In addition to students' English pronunciation, during the learning process several obstacles were also found, such as barriers from linguistic factors, barriers to mastery of content components including topics, content structure, content quality, and content quantity. Keywords: speaking, pronunciation, vowel sounds.

Reducing Conversational Agents’ Overconfidence Through Linguistic Calibration

Abstract While improving neural dialogue agents’ factual accuracy is the object of much research, another important aspect of communication, less studied in the setting of neural dialogue, is transparency about ignorance. In this work, we analyze to what extent state-of-the-art chit-chat models are linguistically calibrated in the sense that their verbalized expression of doubt (or confidence) matches the likelihood that the model’s responses are factually incorrect (or correct). We find that these models are poorly calibrated, yet we show that likelihood of correctness can accurately be predicted. By incorporating such metacognitive features into the training of a controllable generation model, we obtain a dialogue agent with greatly improved linguistic calibration.

직무만족에 미치는 의사소통 능력 : 사회교환이론을 활용한 상사신뢰의 매개효과를 중심으로

Good communication is an essential tool t that enables a person to lead a basic life as well as daily life, and in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organization. Social exchange theory is a sociological and psychological theory that studies the social behavior in the interaction of two parties that implement and it is a dominant theoretical paradigm used to explain workplace relationships. Social exchange theory is one of the most important theoretical frameworks for analyzing employer-employee relationships and employees’ commitment. The trust relationship between subordinates and supervisors increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The relationship between subordinates and supervisors in work life is one of the most important aspects of communication. Supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate not only affects the work performance but also the adaptation of the subordinates to work life. In this study, based on social exchange theory, the impact of communication skills on job satisfaction was analyzed for those who work for general companies located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. In particular, the structural influence relationship was analyzed among communication skills, Supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate and job satisfaction variables by confirming the mediating effects of supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate. As a result of the analysis, in the relationship between communication skills and supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate, it was found that open communication and active listening among the five factors of communication skills had a statistically significant positive(+) effect on supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate. In the relationship between communication skills and job satisfaction, empathy, open communication and active listening among the five factors of communication skills had a statistically significant positive(+) effect on job satisfaction. In addition, among the five factors of communication skills, the effect of open communication on job satisfaction was mediated by supervisor’s trust perceived by subordinate. Communication with colleagues and subordinates in the workplace is easy, but communication with supervisors is much more difficult and important. Since we do not work alone at work, the performance of work is maximized when communication skills are harmonized based on competency and passion. Reducing work-related errors by active listening and freely asking questions about ambiguous parts in all communication in the workplace will lead to trust from the supervisor, and job satisfaction. And it will ultimately increase work efficiency and productivity.

DONALD TRUMP’S PERSUASION TECHNIQUES IN THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2016

Persuasion is an important aspect of communication in our daily lives. The main purpose of persuasion is to convince other people to change their belief, attitude and behaviour. Here, the researcher wanted to find out the techniques of persuasion used by Donald Trump in his political speeches in American presidential election 2016. This research was designed by using descriptive qualitative method. here, the researcher used discourse analysis because the researcher tried to study and understand the functional use of language, that was, persuasion which was used by people in their conversation to influence other's attitude, belief and behavior. The data were Donald Trump’s utterances containing persuasion which were observed from his speeches within American presidential election. The data had represented all data of Donald Trump's speeches. The data were analyzed inductively through the observation done by the researcher himself. In addition, the approach for analyzing the technique of persuasion was based on the Gorys Keraf’s theory of persuasion. It was found that Donald Trump used several techniques of persuasion to get support from the audience and invest his idea in delivering his speeches. These techniques are: rationalization, identification, suggestion, conformities, compensation, displacement and projection.

Applying the Spencer-Oatey Model for Investigating the Politeness Strategies in EFL Teacher-Student Interactions

One of the main goals of learning any language is the ability to communicate, and politeness is considered an important aspect of communication in each language and culture. The main purpose of this study was to investigate politeness strategies that are used in EFL classroom interactions between teachers and students based on the framework of Spencer-Oatey (2008). To this end, students of five EFL classes (N =148) in two cities in Iraqi Kurdistan, Erbil and Sulaimani, were selected and their interactions with teachers (N = 5) were audio-recorded. Transcription of the recorded data revealed that teachers used all the politeness strategies of the Spencer-Oatey model in which equity rights was the most frequent strategy of politeness, while only three strategies of the Spencer-Oatey model were used by the students, which were Identity of Face, Quality of Face, and Equity Rights. Moreover, the results of this study revealed that classrooms in the context of the study are mostly teacher-oriented, teachers manage the classroom, and students mostly speak when they are asked to answer a question. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers attempt further to engage the students and provide situations for more communication.

Концептуально-метафорическая репрезентация в метадискурсе англоязычного художественного нарратива: диахронический аспект

The paper deals with a very important aspect of communication – the fictional communication between the author of emotive prose and the reader. The research is based on the widely accepted thesis of a communicative nature of narrative. The author of the paper uses a popular nowadays term metadiscourse. The paper studies the diachronic aspect of conceptual-metaphoric representation in English fiction. The research shows that the conceptual metaphor is presented differently in the explicit and in the implicit dialogue of the author with the reader. The conceptual metaphors JOURNEY, BUILDING and GASTRONOMIC METAPHOR are characteristic of the explicit dialogue, whereas CONTAUNER mainly appears in the implicit dialogue.

Роль жестов и мимики в передачи концепции подтверждения

The research object and the purpose of this article is the gestures, various body movements, the position of facial expressions that have a role in the delivery of our affirmative thoughts. The concept of affirmation is a complex process associated with reviving the images of “completeness”, “existence”, “being”, and “nearness” in our brains. Asking others for their opinions, evaluate the success of others, use sincere facial expressions and gestures, sympathize others’ problems, and so on are examples of micro-affirmations. Affirmation, which is primarily a semantic category, has a close relation with Psychology and Philosophy. Communication is not just a matter of words. Symbols play an important role in communication. Non-verbal communication contains 60/80 percent of the secret information of the thought process. Gestures are movements of the head and other parts of the body (lips, eyebrows, eyelashes, nose) that reflect different emotions. Gestures were created by different peoples at different times. People use signs and symbols which describe the places and things they want do explain during communication. People increase the effect of what they say by adding different meanings to their speech through body language. Without the use of gestures, body movements, speech is understood as simple, emotionally draining and boring. In this case, the listener will not feel the effect of what is emphasized, because he will not receive any stimuli. Body language is considered the most important aspect of communication because it sends a signal of how we actually feel. In all cultures, however, there are common gestures, including the gestures used to convey the concept of affirmation. But gestures are culturally based, so awareness of their different meanings in different countries provide us with strong communication.

Enhanced AES algorithm based on 14 rounds in securing data and minimizing processing time

Computer, Internet technology have grown exponentially, and constant evolution until today. The usage of digital data such as text, images, audio, animation and videos are commonly used in many aspects of daily activity. The continuous increase in the use of digital data transmission over a network and it exposed to the various kinds of attacks, unauthorized access and network hacking. Thus, it is very hard to ensure that the digital data transmission are secure from any attacks and unauthorized access especially for sensitive and important digital data. This has been raised researcher’s concerns on security of the digital data. Digital data security has become one of the most important aspects in communication. Cryptography is one of the most important technology for protecting digital data. As there is need for secure communication, efficient and secure cryptographic processing is needed for desirable platform overall performance. Improvement of any communication platform with secure and complicated cryptographic algorithms incredibly relies on ideas of data safety that is essential within the current technological global. This paper propose a Secured Modified Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm with decreasing the rounds of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to 14 rounds in order to minimize encryption and decryption process time and increasing digital data security as well. The results have been proved that the proposed technique provides higher efficiency in term of encryption and decryption process time compared to other researches while increase security which has been proved by using avalanche effect test.

Finland and Lithuania: Features of Historical Relations (until the beginning of the 17th century)

The article analyses the historical relations between the people who inhabited the territories of today’s Lithuania and Finland during the longue duree period (from the first contacts until the beginning of the 17th century). Two periods are distinguished: early period and contacts in historical times (the 12th – the beginning of the 17th centuries). The study, based on a rich historiography, provides a synthetic view on the issue. The article discusses the most important aspects of communication (from cultural-linguistic and economic exchanges in prehistoric times to the political-cultural contacts from the end of the 12th to the beginning of the 17thcenturies). The article highlights the mutual communication in the present-day territory of Lithuania, hence “the Lithuanian perspective”, and reflection of this communication in Lithuanian historical culture.

Strategies for using metaphor in psychological treatment

AbstractIn most models of psychotherapy metaphor is considered an important aspect of communication. At the same time there is a need for a rationale to tell the clinician with what purpose and how to use metaphor for the benefit of the client. The present article suggests such principles, specifically based on a behavioral approach to human language, relational frame theory (RFT). This approach has co-developed with a specific model of psychotherapy: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and the conclusions in this article are very much in line with that model. Overlap between RFT and a recent linguistic theory of metaphor, the dynamic approach, is also discussed.

Predicting the readability of physicians’ secure messages to improve health communication using novel linguistic features: Findings from the ECLIPPSE study

ABSTRACT Background: Low literacy skills impact important aspects of communication, including health-related information exchanges. Unsuccessful communication on the part of physician or patient contributes to lower quality of care, is associated with poorer chronic disease control, jeopardizes patient safety and can lead to unfavorable healthcare utilization patterns. To date, very little research has focused on digital communication between physicians and patients, such as secure messages sent via electronic patient portals. Method: The purpose of the current study is to develop an automated readability formula to better understand what elements of physicians’ digital messages make them more or less difficult to understand. The formula is developed using advanced natural language processing (NLP) to predict human ratings of physician text difficulty. Results: The results indicate that NLP indices that capture a diverse set of linguistic features predict the difficulty of physician messages better than classic readability tools such as Flesch Kincaid Grade Level. Our results also provide information about the textual features that best explain text readability. Conclusion: Implications for how the readability formula could provide feedback to physicians to improve digital health communication by promoting linguistic concordance between physician and patient are discussed.

SEGUE framework for developing communication skills in physiotherapy students

Context: An effective doctor-patient relationship helps increasing patient’s compliance with the treatment, thereby improving his physical, functional and emotional status. Communication not only helps in creating a good inter-personal relationship and exchanging information but also in making treatment-related decisions. Physiotherapy interventions rely on a complex interplay of technical skill, communicative ability, and reflective capacity of the therapist to respond to the patient. It has been observed that the important aspect of communication, is often neglected due to time constraints within the curriculum. Also in India, the availability of structured guidelines to teach communication skills to medical professionals is an underresearched topic. The present study investigated the effectiveness of SEGUE framework (Set the stage, Elicit information, Give information, Understand the patient’s perspective, End the encounter) for teaching communication skills in physiotherapy students. Aims: To study the effect of SEGUE framework on the communication skills of Physiotherapy students. Materials and Methods: Physiotherapy students(n=80) were assessed for their communication skills by the Likert responses of their patients to a self-structured patient feedback form. SEGUE Framework was taught to these students. The post-intervention assessment was carried out similarly. Results: There was a significant improvement in the patient responses post-intervention. Conclusion: We conclude that SEGUE Framework is effective in teaching communication skills in physiotherapy students. Keywords: Communication skills, Doctor-patient relationship, Physiotherapy education, Physiotherapy students, SEGUE framework.

COOPERATION AS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARENTS AND PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS

Communication is a continuous process. Communication connects people. It is verbal communication, non-verbal or gesture-mimic communication and writing, when we express our opinion in writing. Communication has a management function that is closely linked to the management processes at the pre-school institution. Communication improves the flow of information between pre-school teachers and parents. Accuracy of information is an important aspect of communication, because the information transferred to parents is researched, analysed, interpreted and preserved. Therefore, pre-school teachers need to spend time working on information that is then accurately formulated for parents. An important aspect is the way information is communicated. It is important that communication between pre-school teachers and parents is constructive, open and honest. The article aim is to analyse and evaluate the scientific literature and other sources of communication and cooperation, complete a survey to find pre-school parents' preferred forms of cooperation with pre-school teachers.
