This text presents and explains theories in communication studies from the epistemological perspectives of the researchers who use them. Rather than representing a specific theoretical paradigm (social scientific, interpretive, or critical), the author team presents the three major paradigms in one text, each writing in his or her area of expertise. Every theory is explained in a "native" voice, from a position of deep understanding and experience, improving clarity for readers. The text also provides insights on using communication theory to address real-life challenges. Considering that theories are developed to guide scholarly research more than to provide practical advice, this feature of the book helps students create realistic expectations for what theories can and cannot do and makes clear that many theories can have practical applications that students can use to their advantage in everyday life. Offering a comprehensive exploration of communication theories through multiple lenses, Exploring Communication Theory provides an integrated approach to studying communication theory and to demonstrating its application in the world of its readers. Online resources also accompany the text. For students: practice quizzes to review key concepts; for instructors: an instructor’s manual featuring chapter outlines, lists of key terms, discussion questions, suggested further readings, and both in-class and out-of-class exercises, as well as lecture slides and sample essay test questions.

Trethewey, Angela

Each of us wonders about something. We might wish we understood our romantic partners better. Maybe we struggle to understand people from other cultures, or we can't figure out why different religious or political groups do what they do. Even though we all communicate on a daily basis, we frequently wonder about the behavior of others. Good theories help us answer a broad range of questions. Why do some messages persuade us better than others? Why do people believe what they hear on television or read online? Why do some marriages succeed and others fail? Communication theory has the answers. This book selects key theories about a range of communication topics and explains each one in a clear and accessible manner. Students are encouraged to understand, question, and evaluate theories to make better sense of their social worlds.
