While people often think of communication as primarily what is spoken, what is heard is equally important. Social scientists have estimated that approximately 85% of what people know has been learned through listening. In our field, we study and investigate individual communication behaviors such as listening, which in turn influence and change organizational, societal and cultural behavior. As a result, communication researchers have investigated, measured and analyzed listening behaviors in various contexts. Students will investigate the complexity of listening through assignments designed to provide experience with social science methods utilized to conduct qualitative and quantitative research, and read the existing social scientific research in listening behavior; be able to evaluate their proficiency levels in various listening situations using instruments commonly used in the communication discipline. Students will also formulate research questions and investigate human listening behavior through discussion, reading assignments and interactive exercises.
