The purposes of this research is to explore the effects of cynical and optimistic outlooks on effective communication between Western Washington University students. A student’s identification as a cynic, an optimist, or somewhere in between can reflect their development and sense of personal rhetoric, as well as its correlation to the effectiveness of their communication methods. If willing to participate, your role will be to fill out a reflective lengthy survey or a condensed survey and share your personal experiences of communication at Western, your favored methods of communication, and the individual rhetoric you employ to express yourself to others. Your results will be synthesized with the responses from other Western Washington University students and analyzed for this English 101 research project.
