Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

    True Films 200 Documentaries You Must See Before You

    TRUE FILMS 3.0 This is the golden age of documentaries. Inexpensive equipment, new methods of distribution, and a very eager audi- ence have all launched a renaissance in non-fi ction fi lm making and viewing. The very best of these non-fi ction fi lms are as entertaining as the best Hol- lywood blockbusters. Because they are true, their storylines seem fresh with authentic plot twists, real characters, and truth stranger than fi ction. Most true fi lms are solidly informative, and a few are genuinely useful like a tool. The rise of documentaries and true cinema is felt not only in movie theaters, but on network TV and cable channels as well. Reality TV, non-fi ction stations like the History Channel or Discovery, and BBC imports have increased the choices in true fi lms tremendously. There’s no time to watch them all, and little guidance to what’s great. In this book I offer 200+ great true fi lms. I defi ne true fi lms as documentaries, educational fi lms, instructional how-to’s, and what the British call factuals – a non-fi ction visual account. These 200 are the best non-fi ction fi lms I’ve found for general interest. I’ve watched all these fi lms more than once. Sometimes thrice. I haven’t had TV for 20 years, so I’ve concentrated my viewing time on documentaries and true fi lms. I run a little website (www.truefi lms.com) where I solicit suggestions of great stuff. What am I looking for in a great true fi lm? • It must be factual.

Turns, Chair Katie Davis Bob M. Mason David W. McDonald PROGRAM AUTHORIZED TO OFFER DEGREE: HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN AND ENGINEERING ©Copyright 2017 Mania Orand ii Abstract Bridging Research and Practice: A Theoretical and Empirical Mapping of Design Space using Solo Travel Domain Mania Orand Doctor of Philosophy Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Jennifer A. Turns Human Centered Design and Engineering University of Washington, Seattle Although researchers have developed a myriad of theories, methods, and tools for interactive design, there remains a large divide between scholarly research and design practice. This divide stems from differences in academics’ and design practitioners’ training, communication, and even the venues in which they choose to present their work. This dissertation features an empirical investigation to help bridge this divide. I explore new ways of incorporating research and theory into interactive design, through three projects in the context of solo travel. The projects are based on over 65 hours of in-depth interviews with 21 solo travelers, and are complemented by over 100 hours of observation and participation in solo travel-related events and meet-ups. I used the findings to develop a novel, two-dimensional analytical design process, embodied in a matrix. The matrix dynamically maps theory with qualitative research and creates a design space articulation that provides designers with a way to identify new design ideas, externalize these developments, and share their work with others.

Identifying the common characteristics of the reality television viewing audience __________________________________ Presented to the Faculty Liberty University School of Communication __________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts In Communication Studies By Laura M.

Smith, Chairperson Date ______________________________________________________________ Carey Martin, PhD Date _____________________________________________________________ Darlene Graves, PhD Date Sipple iii Copyright 2008 by Laura M. Sipple All rights reserved Sipple iv Abstract Reality television shows are increasingly appearing on network and cable outlets each season. Not only are they advancing in number, they are consistently dominating the weekly Nielsen’s Top 10 ratings as well. This study seeks to identify the reality television show viewing audience, why captivated their interest to begin watching these shows and what kept them watching week- to-week. By identifying participants who consistently watched these programs, it was believed that various themes would arise out of this study for further analysis and comparison. In-depth qualitative interviews were utilized to further explore the following areas: (1) Who are the consistent viewers of reality television programs? (2) What specific reality television shows did these viewers watch on a regular basis?, (3) Why did these viewers choose to watch these particular reality shows? and (4) What specific appeal did these reality shows have over other television formats? (such as scripted comedies or dramas). Twenty-two viewers representing six states participated in this study and collectively watched forty-three reality television programs.

    ABSTRACT “Our Real Family, The One We Chose”: The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family Max Romanowski, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: James M. Kendrick, Ph.D. Throughout history, the situation comedy (or “sitcom”) has continually been used as a form of comfort for the viewer. The original sitcoms of the 1950s were filled with themes that reinforced the stability of the traditional family model after the cultural shifts during the world wars. While that style of sitcom and its family has changed, its function to viewers has largely remained the same. While it no longer is about reinforcing a traditional family structure, the sitcom does work to comfort the viewers that are watching. This study works to examine how and why the sitcom family has evolved, what the new sitcom family looks like today, and what that means for societal values. The sitcoms Friends (1994), The Office (2005), Parks and Recreation (2009), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013), and Community (2009) will be used as case studies to understand the new dominant type of sitcom family: The constructed family. iv "Our Real Family, The One We Chose": The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family by Max Romanowski, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of Communication David W.
