Memorable Messages as Discursive Formations: The Gendered Socialization of New University Faculty

Socializing Messages in Blue-Collar Families: Communicative Pathways to Social Mobility and Reproduction

“…From the data, 346 messages from parents were identified. The messages were then sorted into a typology of message paths, guided in part by extant message classification systems (e.g., Bradford et al, 2001;Dallimore, 2003;Vangelisti, 1988).…”

“…One recent study that looked at implicit and explicit messages is Dallimore's (2003) examination of the influence of socializing communication on new faculty members. She uses a memorable messages framework, which includes two unique message paths: ''discrete'' (explicit, direct) and ''ambient'' (implicit, indirect) messages.…”

Memorable Messages and the H1N1 Flu Virus

“…These messages aid receivers in processes of meaning-making by guiding them in making sense out of contexts, understanding situations, and selecting appropriate courses of action. Memorable messages have been examined in several contexts, including organizational socialization (Barge & Schlueter, 2004;Stohl, 1986), higher education (Dallimore, 2003), aging (Holladay, 2002), athletic performance (Kassing & Pappas, 2007), final conversations (Keeley, 2004), breast cancer prevention and detection (Smith et al, 2009), and work-family balance (Medved, Brogan, McClanahan, Morris, & Shepherd, 2006). 626 N. Miczo et al Early research by Knapp and associates (Knapp et al, 1981;Stohl, 1986) delineated five characteristics of memorable messages that have been unevenly supported by subsequent research.…”

Memorable First Time Sexual Experiences: Gendered Patterns and Nuances

“…In the last two and a half decades, communication scholars have studied memorable messages in terms of organizational socialization (e.g., Dallimore, 2003;Stohl, 1986), influence of family communication (e.g., Ellis & Smith, 2004;Medved, Brogan, McClanahan, Morris, & Shepherd, 2006), perceptions of illness and healthcare (e.g., Keely, 2004;Lauckner et al, 2012;Smith, Atkin, Skubisz, Nazion, & Stohl, 2009;Smith et al, 2010), constructions of identity (Heisler & Ellis, 2008;Holladay, 2002), and understandings of discrimination in an increasingly diverse world (Camara & Orbe, 2010). For this particular study, the literature on memorable messages represents a useful conceptual lens through which to study salient influences of current sexual practices (Medved et al, 2006).…”
