“…Similarly, compared to Chinese college students, American college students have more liberal attitudes about dating (Tang & Zuo, 2000) and may be less committed to relationship partners (Lin & Rusbult, 1995). Studies also show that people experience and deal with uncertainty differently across cultures (Cragan & Shields, 1999). For instance, Japanese students tend to report less uncertainty toward classmates than American students (Gudykunst & Nishida, 1986).…”

This study models associations among intimacy, relational uncertainty, partner interference, relational turmoil, and topic avoidance in Korean and American romantic relationships. We surveyed 294 individuals from the United States (N = 156) and South Korea (N = 138). The American model indicated that intimacy was negatively associated with relational uncertainty and curvilinearly associated with partner interference, relational uncertainty was positively associated with topic avoidance, and partner interference was positively associated with perceived turmoil. The South Korean model revealed that intimacy was negatively associated with relational uncertainty, while both relational uncertainty and partner interference were positively associated with perceived turmoil, which was positively associated with topic avoidance. Although the American and Korean models were statistically invariant, some notable cultural differences are discussed.

“…Within groups of people, individuals recognize uncertainty and share social information to decrease it (Cragan & Shields, 1999). These groups are known as speech communities, which share rules for the interaction and interpretation of language and can be a specific socioeconomic culture (Goldsmith, 2001).…”

Guided by the theoretical concept of uncertainty, the present study was an exploratory investigation of general partner and relational uncertainty within sibling relationships. Undergraduate and graduate student participants responded to a written survey utilizing scales measuring general partner uncertainty, relational uncertainty, extent of topic avoidance, and various relational and demographic items. Results revealed that siblings experience significantly more partner uncertainty than relational uncertainty, although both uncertainty types were experienced at low to moderate levels. Further, differing levels of partner and relational uncertainty were associated with frequency of sibling contact, but not with sibling dyadic gender composition. Finally, both general partner and relational uncertainty were significant predictors of levels of general topic avoidance, although neither uncertainty type predicted romantic=sexual relationship topic avoidance levels. Theoretical implications for uncertainty management are discussed in light of the unique sibling relationship.

“…Effective storytellers embed into their stories values and life experiences similar to the listener (Fischer). Second, NPT is naturalistic and emphasizes universal assumptions of “humans” (Cragan & Shields, 1999). In other words, all humans, regardless of age, have the ability to choose and judge stories.…”

Purpose: To explicate an initial conceptual model that is amenable to testing and guiding antistigma interventions with adolescents.Design/Sources Used: Multidisciplinary research and theoretical articles were reviewed. . Conclusions:The conceptual model may guide anti-stigma interventions, and undergo testing and refinement in the future to reflect scientific advances in stigma reduction among adolescents. Use of a conceptual model enhances empirical evaluation of anti-stigma interventions yielding a casual explanation for the intervention effects and enhances clinical applicability of interventions across settings.
