Communication research measures III : a sourcebook / edited by Elizabeth E. Graham, Joseph P. Mazer.

Description based upon print version of record.

Building on the measures included in the original 1994 volume and subsequent 2009 volume, Communication Research Measures III: A Sourcebook extends its coverage of measurement issues and trends across the entire communication discipline. Volume III features entirely new content and offers an assessment of new measures in mass, interpersonal, instructional, group, organizational, family, health, and intercultural communication and highlights work in emergent subdisciplines in communication, including social media and new communication technologies, sports communication, and public relations. The best of the best from 2009 through today, the profiled research measures in Volume III serve as models for future scale development and constitute the main tools that researchers can use for self-administered measurement of people's attitudes, conceptions of themselves, and perceptions of others. This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses that emphasize quantitative research methods, measurement, and/or survey design across communication studies disciplines.

The Sourcebook of Listening Research: Methodology and Measures is a landmark work defining the field of listening research and its best practices. An essential read for listening researchers across a range of disciplines including speech, communication studies, linguistics, psychology, and education, it serves as the definitive guide to listening methodology and measurement with contributions from leading listening scholars and researchers.

The Sourcebook of Listening Research: Methodology and Measures evaluates current listening methods and measures with attention to scale development, qualitative methods, operationalizing cognitive processes, and measuring affective and behavioral components. A variety of theoretical models for assessing the cognitive, affective, and behavioral facets of listening are presented alongside 65 measurement profiles. The latest trends in listening research are outlined, as well as the complexities involved in performing successful research in this area.
