In 2010, she received the Eastern Communication Association’s Past-President’s Award for her contributions to research and teaching.
Dr. Houser’s primary research interest is in the area of communication in relationships with a focus on teacher-student relationships (traditional versus nontraditional students and face-to-face versus electronic) and student learning indicators as well as interpersonal communication with a focus on dating initiation and relational conflict. She was selected by the Dean and College Chairs to present her research at the 2011 Dean’s Seminar. Though Dr. Houser has published and/or presented over sixty research studies, she takes great pride in the twenty-plus manuscripts she has published and/or presented with her students.

If you have any questions for Dr. Houser, feel free to email her at mh53@txstate.edu.
An excellent, cutting edge book written by researchers that acknowledges the role that biology plays in communication while allowing students to garner an awareness of their own communication.

Simply, this is the best introductory interpersonal communication book that I’ve read.

Bloomsburg University
The “what can I do now” sections are great and I really appreciate the skills advice that is offered at the end of the chapters for the case studies! I think the information covered in each of the special theme sections is fascinating. This text encourages students to be cognizant of what they bring to communication situations and how to adapt their communication accordingly so they can be more competent communicators across a variety of interpersonal contexts. I’m excited for the book to be available!

I would definitely recommend the text for an Interpersonal Communication Course. This text would perhaps be one of the first to really represent what an Interpersonal Communication course should focus on.

Anything that helps us as human beings to understand ourselves and communicate more effectively with ourselves and others is useful, and I am intrigued by the possibilities of the personality approach.

A refreshing interpersonal communication textbook emphasizing gender and diversity issues, communication ethics, grounded communication theory and interpersonal communication skill development.
Marshall Prisbell

This textbook provides a unique approach to developing one’s interpersonal skills. By combining natural science with social science theories, the authors are able to provide a more holistic approach to interpersonal communication than other texts currently on the market.
