Subjects, 974 couples who had filed for divorce with potential child-custody disputes, were informed about the process of mediation as a means to settle their custody disputes rather than relying on the court system to resolve their custody and visitation conflicts. Counselors described the mediltion process, answered questions, and showed a videotape entitled "Don't Forget the Children." Five measures were created to test the theoretical model: caring about/focusing on children's relational, school, home problems (concern for children); communication skills; feelings about self; stress; and expectations about mediation. Results indicated that concern for children and expectations about mediation impacted on a successful outcome. Major predictors of stress were feelings about self (self esteem) and communication skills. Findings suggest affirmation for the importance of communication as an element contributing to the success of mediation. The prospects for communication scholars to play a meaningful role in improving family communication during the process of divorce are challenging.

Based on feminist, conflict, and metaphor literature, we anticipated that first-order (metaphoric family) and second-order (structural or linguistic) analyses would reveal overarching categories, underlying tensions, and contextual differences in workplace metaphors. Findings indicated that metaphoric families provided generalizable categories but that linguistic devices suggested subtleties in the ways in which professional women conceptualized their conflictual interactions in the workplace.

The model focuses on two behavioural classes; nectar foragers and nectar receivers. Results generated from the model are used to demonstrate how different classes within a collective can collaborate to combine information and produce finely tuned decisions through simple interactions. In particular we show the importance of the 'search time' -the time a returning forager takes to find an available nectar receiver -in restricting the forager population to a level consistent with colony-wide needs.

개인 정체성의 상대성과 그 구성요소 간의 상황적 중요도에 대한 한미 간 비교연구
