Changes in the syllabus 1.RATs  exams 2.Class Schedules 3.Please keep the new version of the syllabus.

Three research cultures Physical sciences: study of physical and natural world (e.g. physics, chemistry, and biology) Humanities: creative work (e.g. music, art and literature) Social sciences: study of human behavior (anthropology, psychology, and sociology)

Communication Communication is a social science. But it overlaps, in part, each of the three research cultures. (p.22 Figure 1.3) Communication research focuses on studies of communication behavior.

Definition “ Communication research is a process by which we answer questions and try to draw conclusions from information gathered about message-related behavior. ” 2007 Fall_COMM 420_Week NY

Types of Research--1 Basic Research Researchers hope to make useful contributions though there is no immediate economic payoff. Most things we call “ pure ” scientific research fall into this categories. The purpose of basic communication research is to increase our knowledge about communication phenomena by testing, refining and elaborating theory Fall_COMM 420_Week NY

Types of Research--2 Applied Research Providing answers to practical questions. Does the liking of the celebrity in a commercial have any impacts on costumers ’ liking of the brand? Examples of applied research (additional readings) Methods of two types of research are identical Fall_COMM 420_Week NY

Research process (additional readings)  Raise Question  Do we already have answers to that question?  If not  collect evidence  Analyze the evidence  Draw conclusions based on the evidence 2007 Fall_COMM 420_Week NY

From scholars 2007 Fall_COMM 420_Week NY “ I find social science research incredibly absorbing, exciting, and rewarding. It's both analytic and creative at the same time. It's the chance to play detective; to explore all of those ‘ what if ’ and ‘ I wonder why ’ questions. ” -- Dr. Mary Beth Oliver

Asking Questions in AD/PR research Definition (What is it?) What is the definition of TV commercials? Value (Is it good or bad?) Is it ethical to broadcast commercials of candy on Saturday morning when children under the age of 7 are predictably watching TV at that time? Policy Should TV commercials of candy be regulated? How it can be regulated? Facts (What are the situations?) For children under the age of 7, what is the relationship between watching candy commercials and their actual consumption of candy? 2007 Fall_COMM 420_Week NY

Examples of Research 1: BrandingBranding 2: Race and ComedyRace and Comedy 3: FacebookFacebook 2007 Fall_COMM 420_Week NY
