realize this is the last day of Week 1, but I
wanted to post this anyway, just to highlight
another theory from the Week 1 reading. It is
perfectly fine for this discussion to carry into
the first few days of Week 2.)  Chapter 8 of your
text discusses the Expectancy Violations Theory.
One major premise of this theory is that people
have expectations about the behaviors (both
verbal and nonverbal) of others. Can you provide
an example from your own life that relates to the
Expectancy Violations Theory? Does understanding
this theory help you make sense of that
communication situation?
