“…The family is one of the most fascinating and important human institutions (Hovick, Thomas, Watts, & Tan, 2021). According to Reiss ((Reiss, 1981) cited in (Rajkai, 2022)), families are defined by common ideologies, values, and beliefs.…”

“…These values and belief systems affect how family members perceive their social environment and responsibilities in society, and how they interact inside and beyond the family (Rajkai, 2022). The family's influence on individual behavior is crucial to family communication scholars (Hovick et al, 2021). McLeod & Chaffee (1972) defined family communication as a coordination of relatives that balances informational, and control aims with related purposes.…”

The "bossman" factor, the "headship role of men" in Africa, is entrenched in the social fabric of Africa. Nonetheless, there is little attention to how this headship role of men in the family influences family communication. The present study explored the influence of the headship role of men in family communication. The researchers selected 10 participants from the Cape Coast Metropolis and elicited data through interviews. Using family communication theory as a guide, the researchers analyzed the transcribed data and came out with the following findings. Firstly, the headship role of men serves as a barrier to family communication because men serve as the final authority in decision-making, conflict resolution, and children's openness. Secondly, the researchers discovered that married women adopt coping strategies such as effective listening, sex appeals, and third-party counselling. Finally, the study revealed that sociocultural variables such as ethnicity, religion, and gender greatly influence the perpetuation of men's headship role, thus the' bossman role' in family communication. The researchers recommend that counsellors should consider guiding husbands to be considerate in dealing with family communication issues because men overstretching their headship role affect effective family communication.

“…The family communication patterns hypothesis proposes that families act as a fundamental unit of socialization for children, wherein schemata for familial intuition are shaped and impact the preparation of messages (Hovick et al, 2019). The family environment is the first setting in which children learn behaviors and develop expectations for social life.…”

Family is an essential aspect of human life and is also the first environment that will be an example for every individual, especially for a child. Family is the first place where children form their potential. The first education a child gets also comes from the family. Indonesia, which has various cultures, has differences in communication, especially communication within the family. In this study, the ethnicity we examined was the Betawi ethnicity, where previously, the Betawi people thought that education for daughters was not an obligation. Still, as the development of the cultural age also developed, we found many women from the Betawi ethnicity could teach higher education learners. The development of the cultural age is also influenced by the mindset instilled by the Betawi ethnic family through the instilled family communication pattern. In this study, researchers are interested in knowing how the communication patterns of Betawi ethnic families in building awareness of the importance of higher education for daughters. The method used in this research is a quantitative method by collecting data using a questionnaire which is distributed to 30 respondents. The respondents of this study were daughters from the Betawi ethnicity. This study indicates that the Betawi ethnic family tends to apply the balanced split pattern and the unbalanced split pattern. The flat split pattern prioritizes equality in roles and balanced tasks for each family member. Meanwhile, the unbalanced split pattern applies the opposite.

“…Such work proceeds with the expectation that conversation orientations between family members strongly condition a host of political and social outcomes (e.g., Shulman and DeAndrea, 2014; Ledbetter, 2015; Graham, Tang and Mahoney, 2020; Scruggs and Schrodt, 2021). For example, Hovick et al (2021) demonstrate that members of families that converse more richly about health issues are more likely to appropriately seek information from family health histories when needed. Similarly, Jia and Yu (2021) show that children are most likely to adopt pro-environmental attitudes from their parents when environmental behaviors are an active conversation topic in the household.…”

Listen to Me: Quality of Communication and Intergenerational Political Socialization

Intergenerational political socialization is alive and well in the polarized American polity. But, by what mechanism do parental views transmit to children? We develop a theory ( dyadic social learning theory) which posits the importance of dyadic familial communication in facilitating attitudinal concordance between parents and children. Using original survey data of 1,048 dyadic pairs of American parents and middle school-aged children, we develop a novel measure of political perception that combines the perceptive accuracy of parents with the perceptive accuracy of their children. This measure of parent-child alignment, which we argue signals quality communication in families, is a powerful determinant of parent-child congruence on political views and emotions, particularly polarization. When a dyadic pair accurately perceives each other politically, the likelihood of congruent views and shared polarization increases. This research has implications for how we understand political transference of polarized views, and for broader theories of how children are socialized into the political world. It also suggests that solutions to polarization will have to address the role of parents in initiating polarization.
