It Ain\u27t Etiquette

...I do not condone coarseness at the table, but its adversary, delicacy, has risen to such prominence that if the Duchess of Tweedleborn were to give vent to a belch, no matter how tiny or how Bacchanalian, the scandal would be earth-shaking..

Narrative Analysis of Sexual Etiquette in Teenage Magazines

Expanding on existing research on women\u27s magazines, this essay examines the sexual etiquette developed in advice columns in magazines popular among teenage women. Over a span of 20 years, the advice has changed very little. Serving the rhetorical function of field guides and training manuals, teen magazines limit women\u27s sociality and sexuality within narrowly defined heterosexual norms and practices. The rhetoric of sexual etiquette encourages young women to be sex objects and teachers of interpersonal communication rather than lovers, friends, and partners. Young women are being taught to subordinate self for others and to be contained

The Impact of Automation Etiquette on User Performance and Trust in Non-Personified Technology

Previous research has shown that good automation etiquette can yield positive effects on user performance, trust, satisfaction, and motivation. Automation etiquette is especially influential in personified technologies – users have increased etiquette expectations from technology that has human characteristics. Designers deliberately integrate etiquette into personified technologies to account for users’ anthropomorphization and meet user needs. The current study examined the impact of etiquette in non-personified technologies. The study aimed to demonstrate that automation etiquette also affects performance, trust, perceived workload, and motivation in technologies that possess little to no human characteristics. The study used a computer-based automation task to examine good and bad etiquette models and different domain-based perceived task-importance, or “criticality” levels (between-subjects) that contained various stages of automation and automation reliability levels (within-subjects). The study found that bad etiquette automation produced better performance in certain conditions. Confirming previous research, we found that users trust good etiquette automation more than bad etiquette automation in some trust categories. This study provides evidence that automation complexity correlates with automation etiquette’s impact – as automation complexity increases, so does automation etiquette’s impact on performance and in some cases trust. We found that bad automation etiquette can increase user’s subjective workload. Last, we confirmed that our domain-based task criticality manipulation was effective. Future research should examine additional domains, tasks, etiquette delivery mechanisms, and etiquette scales coupled with varied degrees of automation complexity to better understand etiquette’s role in human-automation interaction

Emotional Reflexivity in Contemporary Friendships: Understanding It Using Elias and Facebook Etiquette

The popular social networking site Facebook has become a part of millions of people\'s everyday lives. In order to help people navigate the friendships they form and maintain on Facebook there are many websites offering advice about etiquette. This advice, and responses to it, can help reveal how contemporary emotional expression is organised, especially as it relates to friendship. This paper critically adapts the approach of other sociologists such as Norbert Elias, and Cas Wouters who have used etiquette and advice books to explore social changes in emotionality. Using online advice about Facebook etiquette, it is argued that there is uncertainty about the degree of emotional closeness appropriate for friendships in contemporary life, especially where there are status differences. It is difficult to know how to feel and how to behave within the relational complexity of contemporary life. In particular, expanded definitions of friendship form part of this complexity which promotes and requires an \'emotionalization of reflexivity\'.Emotion, Friendship, Elias, Manners, Facebook, Reflexivity

The Transformation of Written Congratulations Etiquette in Early XXIst-century Russia

The article explores the transformation of written congratulations etiquette happening in early XXst-century Russian culture. We are using an example of the etiquette of written greetings to highlight the changing aspects of this etiquette situation (spatial and temporal characteristics; actors and their status roles; communication media; communication objectives; etiquette attributes). We argue that etiquette as a normative system is developed cumulatively, while undergoing a number of communicative transformations regarding the concrete elements of written congratulation situation: a rising importance of communication channels, a transformation of communication objectives, an increased attention to a formal side of etiquette attributes, etc. At the same time, the greeting card is transformed both in its content (which today includes many new festive events and dates) and in its form, which becomes much more diverse in structure, color palette, etc.     Keywords: etiquette, postcard, greetings card, etiquette situation, cultural norm

In this case the concept of dhemes is also thought to be reflected in visual patterns and arrangements in the batik etiquette of Kampung Kauman and Laweyan Surakarta. The existence of batik etiquette which was motivated by socio-political changes had an impact on changing people’s perceptions about products which in turn impacted perceptions about visual order. Etiquette status is not merely a marker of a product, but also plays a role in changing the perception of the product. Etiquette is interpreted as a form of actualization of batik producers in their respective regions. Batik etiquette as an art product is not only a personal expression, but also as a representation of the social order. At a further level art products become media to mark changes in social perception. Keywords: dhemes, batik etiquette, laweya
