The interpersonal communication domain focuses on a context and/or process and/or concept. Yet, as individual contexts are established as independent domains, relationships that would have been studied within the interpersonal communication context, such as parent–child, patient–physician, and subordinate–supervisor, have been removed and broadened into their contexts: family, health, and organizational communication. The construct was also examined from a state and trait perspective, leading the researchers to delineate communication anxiety from communication apprehension. To extend the utility of scales to represent the views of both relational partners, some of the researchers developed both self-report and other-report measures. In developing the scales, the researchers were thorough in ensuring the items comprising the scale clearly represented the scope of beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors demonstrating the concept. In addition to creating new scales, researchers are revising and strengthening established measures making them more relevant for studies. |
