• A Meta-Analytical Review of Family Communication Patterns and their Associations with Information Processing, Behavioral, and Psychosocial Outcomes (2008, methodology): “Theoretically, however, it is important to note that these two dimensions often interact with each other to influence family functioning (Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002b).”
• Parental Mediation Theory for the Digital Age (2011, background): “They also echo work in family communication that has found that families high in conversational orientation experience less unproductive conflict and foster a more positive climate for children than those low in conversational orientation (Isaacs & Koerner, 2008; Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002, 2006).”
• Parental Confirmation and Affection as Mediators of Family Communication Patterns and Children's Mental Well-Being (2007, methodology): “In addition, researchers have further demonstrated that family communication patterns are central to family functioning ( Schrodt, 2005 ), so much so that they have been used successfully to predict outcomes for both parents and children (for a detailed review, see Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002b ).”
• An Introduction to the Special Issue on Family Communication Patterns Theory (2014, background): “The first dimension of family communication, conversation orientation, is defined as the degree to which families create a communication environment in which all family members are encouraged to participate in unrestrained interaction about a wide range of topics (Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002b).”
