Abstract

This paper discusses two communication theories, compliance strategies and social learning theories, to describe family and peer communication that reinforces each author to like a particular color. It was found that these two theories could help to describe the family communication for both, the first and second author. The compliance strategies that parents use to persuade their children (first two authors) to like or dislike some color are pregiving, attributing positive feelings, showing positive esteem and threatening. Moreover, an additional item, that is firstly founded in this paper, is “attributing to others’ feelings,” which helps to contribute to the knowledge in the area of communication. This finding also helps to direct other scholars to concern more about the studies in the field of family communication, its communication patterns might be different from other contexts and provide another way to look at the existing theories.
