Dr. Hayes co-authors article on argument
Dr. Marceline
Thompson-Hayes, Speech Communication, co-authored an article
recently published in the national journal Argumentation and
Advocacy. The article focused on the emotional experience of arguing
in face-to-face interaction. Two findings of the study were that
partners tend to mirror each other’s emotions throughout argument,
and that individual traits, such as the tendency to take conflict
personally, affected emotions experienced during argument.
