How do I take all this theory and apply it?
• This is applied health sciences
• Each time you spin the Kal., there is a different picture- same as
communication about health
o Dynamic process, complex
Case Study Ben’s Problem
• Noticed a lump embarrassed so he didn’t tell anyone for several months. Wife
begged and encouraged him to see a doctor. Finally made a doctors
appointment, didn’t tell the doctor about the lump because he didn’t ask
• People are not logical
• Embarrassed, because only women have breast so only they get breast cancer.
Men are very good at dying rather than taking on embarrassment
• Probably go away, very manly assumption that things will just go away and get
better
• Begged, typical to need to beg people to take care of themselves
• Anxious, scared it was cancer
• Shrugging means they have nothing to say, indifferent. No defense for it
Kaleidoscope model is Interpretive View rather than Positive View
• Pulls in social and individual perspectives of aging and health
• Not just a thing has a lot of meaning
• Assumptions
o Cyclical communication: not linear
o Processes overlap: sex, race, culture
o Individual, group, organizations, social level fit like matryoshka dolls
o Many paths
Outer circle (1)
• Inter group encounter with a high probability of miscommunication
o In-group (shared meaning) vs. out group (devalue and describe)
▪ Big Bang theory, out group nerds, in group penny
• Ben noticed lump
o Gender (breast)
o Age
Social Context (Circle 2)
• Professional relations
o Though vital, very little time spent with a doctor
• Social relationships
o Creates our environment
