The Influences of Family Communication Patterns on Adult Children

The Influences of Family Communication Patterns on Adult Childrens Perceptions of amorous Behaviors by Michael Fowler, MS, Judy C. Pearson, Ph. D. , & Stephenson J. Beck, Ph. D. PART A SUMMARY The paper of the researchers is to explore how family talk patterns influence the use of social behaviors for maintaining a committed romantic relationship for exemplar dating, engaged or married. Specifically, the study examined the relationship betwixt family communication pattern, rituals, and relational maintenance in prominent childrens romantic relationships.The results of the study showed that co orientation and couple-time rituals were associate. Conversation orientation was related to all seven-spot relational maintenance behaviors. Finally, conformity orientation was related to conflict management. The research concludes that the family is considered the pinnacle relationship in the human experience (Floyd Mikkelson, & Judd, 2006). The family is where most communicative beha viors ar larn and developed (Bruner, 1990 Fitzpatrick & Caughlin, 2002).In addition, early family experiences affect subsequent perceptions of behavior (Pecchioni et al. , 2006 Whitton et al. , 2008). This study demonstrates that family patterns may extend into two ritualized activities and to maintenance behaviors of adult children. Mundane behaviors that couples experience in their daily lives may contribute to the health of a relationship by providing a foundation for major(ip) couple events (Driver & Gottman, 2004). Part CAccording to the author, the family may well be the most important context for understanding communication since the family environment is where most communicative behaviors are learned and developed. Thus, it would seem plausible that communication patterns among family-of-origin members influence early relational behaviors. I agreed with the author as the family is the core of every children growing process where we learn what our parents do and we tend to follow.As Koerner and Fitzpatrick (1997) state, Families are childrens capital socialization agents which family is the one who socialize with the children from the beginning as teaches them how to behave and their attitude which may influence afterlife spousal interactions. As Huang (1999) points out, research has shown that family communication patterns and styles in? uence childrens attitudes and behaviors in a number of areas. In which it influence the family members on understanding of the social environment.
