3 Questions Comm Research Analysis

1. Describe a time in your life when you have engaged in selective exposure. Why did you do this? What were the positive outcomes of your selective exposure? The negative outcomes?
2. Hirokawa discovered that the evaluation of negative characteristics is the most crucial function for achieving an effective group decision. Explain three reasons why groups might skip this step, despite its importance.
3. Some scholars have argued that a weakness of the functional perspective is its lack of attention to the relational aspects of group life. This is particularly problematic for groups whose purpose is, in large part, relational: groups of friends, families, religious groups, and so forth. Identify at least two functions that such social groups must fulfill. Compare and contrast these functions with those identified by Hirokawa and Gouran for decision-making groups.
