Article Critique: Masking Poor Communication

Read “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication.”
Then, write a two-page paper (excluding title and reference pages)
about your thoughts on this article. In your paper, be sure also to
address the following:

• Have you ever had a miscommunication with someone
  close to you simply because you assumed that they understood you? What
  happened?
• How can you make sure that this kind of
  miscommunication does not happen in the future? Or when it does happen,
  what could you do to make your communication more clear?

Be sure to reference the article and at least one of the other course
readings from this week in your paper. This can be your textbook or one
of the recommended articles. The paper must be formatted according to
APA style. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For
information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford
Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation
toolbar.
