| Monique Mitchell Turner
(Ph.D, Michigan State University, 1999), Associate Professor, is interested
in social influence processes such as persuasion and compliance gaining.
Specifically, her research investigates the cognitive processes involved
to change people's attitudes and behaviors long term. Her current
work focuses on how emotions such as guilt, anger, and sadness impact
the ways in which persons cognitively process and are persuaded for
example by health messages. Her most recent studies examine the impact
of guilt on compliance gaining, the effectiveness of compliance gaining
messages, and the influence that anger and sadness have on processing
health messages. Dr. Mitchell is an expert in experimental, survey,
and interview techniques as well as in univariate and multivariate
statistics. She has taught both research methods and statistics at
the undergraduate and the doctoral level. Dr. Mitchell also teaches
undergraduate courses in persuasion and conflict resolution. Her research
appears in such journals as Communication Monographs,
Communication Studies, and Communication Research Reports.
Dr. Mitchell also serves on the editorial boards for The Journal
of Applied Communication, Communication Reports, and Communication
Monographs. |
