Emotional and social factors in communication via facial expression: a rejoinder to Fridlund's reply

Article Abstract:

Alan J. Fridlund's response to a reviewer of his book 'Human Facial Expression: An Evolutionary View' shows that he harbors certain misconceptions about the types of communication through facial expressions. His objection that the reviewer employed faulty reasoning to analyze research into inhibition is not based on reality. In addition, his assertion that emotion cannot be defined is incorrect because neurochemistry now has the means to measure it in terms of brain activity.

Conversation or intellectual imperialism in comparing communication (theories)

Article Abstract:

A response to Forum articles on 'comparative theory' is presented. It is argued that human communication is a phenomenon that exists only with an accompanying understanding of its theories. Six propositions on theory and comparisons in human communications are presented. It is suggested that these may have radical effects on current methodologies in communication research.
