A Short Note On Inter Racial Relationships And Conflict

Final Proposal Richard Vandenhole University of North Texas Inter-Racial Relationships Conflict Statement of the problem Communication scholars (Miller-Ott, Kelly, Duran, 2012; Stewart, Dainton, Goodboy, 2014; Walther, Heide, Tong, Carr, Atkin, 2010) have researched communication between couples in romantic relationships. Researchers have examined inter-racial romantic relationships (Chory-Assad Booth-Butterfield, 2001; Harris Trego, 2008; Rubenfeld Clà ©ment, 2012), relational maintenance strategies (Ayres,1983; Goodboy Bolkan, 2011), and computer mediated communication (Walther, Deandrea, Tong, 2010). However, few scholars (Brody, Mooney, Westerman, McDonald, 2009) examined cell phone usage as a relational maintenance tool in romantic relationships. The researchers who have studied romantic relationships in various contexts generally focus on relational maintenance strategies (Ayres,1983; Goodboy Myers, 2010; Stewart, Dainton, Goodboy, 2014) and computer mediated communication (Aukus Rumsey, 2010). Consequently, few researchers have studied romantic relationship material involving the co mmunication between inter-racial couples over the technologic medium of cell phones.
