The Influences of Family Communication Patterns on Adult Childrens Perceptions of romanticistic Behaviors by Michael Fowler, MS, Judy C. Pearson, Ph. D. , & Stephenson J. Beck, Ph. D. PART A SUMMARY The select of the queryers is to explore how family discourse patterns bow the use of interpersonal fashions for maintaining a committed romantic birth for example dating, engaged or married. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between family discourse pattern, rituals, and relational maintenance in adult childrens romantic relationships.The results of the study showed that co orientation and couple-time rituals were related. Conversation orientation was related to all seven relational maintenance behaviors. Finally, conformity orientation was related to conflict management. The research concludes that the family is considered the pinnacle relationship in the human experience (Floyd Mikkelson, & Judd, 2006). The family is where most communicative behaviors are lear ned and developed (Bruner, 1990 Fitzpatrick & Caughlin, 2002).In addition, early family experiences affect later perceptions of behavior (Pecchioni et al. , 2006 Whitton et al. , 2008). This study demonstrates that family patterns may extend into both ritualized activities and to maintenance behaviors of adult children. terrestrial behaviors that couples experience in their daily lives may contribute to the health of a relationship by providing a foundation for major couple events (Driver & Gottman, 2004). place CAccording to the author, the family may well be the most important context for grounds communication since the family environment is where most communicative behaviors are learned and developed. Thus, it would take care plausible that communication patterns among family-of-origin members influence future relational behaviors. I hold with the author as the family is the core of every children growing process where we note what our parents do and we tend to follow.As Ko erner and Fitzpatrick (1997) state, Families are childrens primary socialization agents which family is the cardinal who socialize with the children from the beginning as teaches them how to behave and their attitude which may influence future spousal interactions. As Huang (1999) points out, research has shown that family communication patterns and styles in? uence childrens attitudes and behaviors in a number of areas. In which it influence the family members on accord of the social environment.
