The relationships that exist among brothers and sisters have been much less researched and observed than other kinds of family relationships. Thus, the impact of sibling dyads' gender and age difference on Turkish adolescents' communication satisfaction and trust was examined. The sample consisted of 272 (154 female, 118 male) Turkish high school students, all of whom were aged between 14 and 18 years and had 1 younger sibling. They were asked to complete the Sibling Communication Satisfaction Scale and the Dyadic Trust Scale. A significant gender difference was obtained for both trust and communication satisfaction, wherein females were more likely than males were to trust and be satisfied with their level of communication with their siblings, especially in the case of same-gender siblings. However, no significant result was found for age difference in terms of either trust or communication satisfaction.

One of the issues facing researchers studying very select populations is how to obtain reliability estimates for their instruments. When the populations and resulting samples of studies are very small and select, gathering data for typical reliability estimates becomes very difficult. As a result, many researchers ignore the concern about reliability of their instrumentation and forge ahead collecting data. In response to this concern, Bandura's model of social cognition and Wolpe's model of systematic desensitization were combined and applied to a group of 90 undergraduates completing a Communication Satisfaction Scale designed to assess the attitudes of intubated patients in a hospital Intensive Care Unit. Stimuli (text, auditory and visual) were provided to sensitize the subjects to the intubation procedure and to enable the subjects to imagine what it is like to be an intubated patient. The subjects responded to 10 items focusing on the communication issues of intubated patients on a scale in Likert format. Internal reliability (Cronbach alpha) was 0.83 for the entire scale. The results are discussed within both a social cognition and a measurement framework. While the resulting reliabilities cannot be directly applied to the intubated sample, the procedure may provide critical feedback to researchers and instrument developers prior to the actual administration of the instrument in research.

Analysis indicated both married and dating partners were satisfied with their relationships; however, individuals in dating relationships reported higher Nonverbal and Verbal Affectionate Communication than individuals in married relationships. Moreover, there was a significant difference between married and dating partners on Supportive Affectionate Communication. Married partners were more likely to express supportiveness than dating partners.

The paper concerns subordinates’ satisfaction with communication as a function of managers’ relational messages. 131 subordinates completed the Communication Satisfaction Scale and the Relational Message Scale. Ratings of immediacy, receptivity, composure, similarity, and equality messages were positively associated with satisfaction with communication. Ratings of messages conveying dominance, formality, and task orientation were negatively related to subordinates’ satisfaction with communication.

Design and Method: Different theoretical approaches and perspectives were applied to research the mutual confession of love partners which takes place during sexual act, where all ones essential needs, wishes, fears and alike are expressed spontaneously as they enter the consciousness. Therefore, 55 people who are practicing Komaja’s tantra, were surveyed about their perceptions for communication during sex. A validated Sexual Communication Satisfaction Scale and Sexual Communication Style Scale were used to measure the communication that occurs during sexual interactions. Additionally, the general questionnaire with partially openended questions was applied. Descriptive analyze and qualitative content analysis was used for the collected data. Results: The research demonstrates that the participants communicate with their partners during sex, in both manners, verbally and non-verbally. Overall, the majority of the participants reported that the Theater of Truth helps them to experience more sexual satisfaction and to improve their sexual self-confidence. Additionally, this technique contributes them to achieve spiritual experience through sexual encounters. Conclusions: The results of this pilot study confirm the subjective impression of the participants that this technique is very promising and effective. The research stresses the need of effective communication skills to be used during sexual encounters, through partners’ verbal and nonverbal interactions.
