Running head: DISCONFIRMING CONVERSATIONAL ACTS Disconfirming Conversational Acts

چکیده
Individuals may use both the content and the relational messages of interaction with their relational partners to make judgments about the nature of the relationship. Relational messages are imbedded in the context for the interaction as well as the interactional behaviors of the partners. Therefore, interactional behaviors of relational partners help to define the relationship. Interactional behaviors such as interruption can have significant effects on relational definitions, and how an interactant interprets such behaviors can be observed through the subsequent interactional moves of the partners. Effects of moves such as interruption can include disconfirmation of the partner who was interrupted. This paper attempts to demonstrate how certain types of interactional behavior can be disconfirming in relational terms by using excerpts from actual conversations. Disconfirming Conversation 2
