| Abstract | A study investigated who students think of when they are faced with the issues of relationships during a basic communication course--their friends from high school, their new friends from college, a parent, or a sibling. Subjects, 70 women and 41 men enrolled in a hybrid basic communication course, completed a relationship questionnaire. Results indicated that both male and female subjects submitted a same-sex friend as the most frequent description of the person to whom they were closest, and 59% of the subjects said they had been closest to this person for under five years, indicating the fluctuation present in the college student's social structure. Results also indicated that (1) males selected sports and hobbies as topics of conversation at a higher percentage than did females; (2) females reported a greater use of the topic of shared activities than did males; (3) men, more than women, indicated they discussed attitudes towards particular social issues; and (4) males indicated a greater propensity to discuss religion that did females. Future research will focus more in-depth on the issue of gender of participant and selection of topic. (Contains 30 references and two tables of data. The relationship questionnaire is attached.)
