Hello from Vision
Hi Heatherc43! Thank you so much for your contribution to the Face Negotiation page, for it helped me a lot in getting a whole picture of the theory and I am impressed by the rich literature you incorporated in this page. Good job indeed! I am a communication major graduate at Georgetown University. As part of our program, I am also assigned to further improve the page. Therefore I might have some changes to the page (which is extremely hard for me, because you have done such an excellent job!) Anyway, I hope you are fine with me changing some of contents. Thx, and best wishes!

Face Negotiation Theory
I will be adding more secondary or tertiary sources to Face Negotiation Theory So far, there is only the primary source by the author of the theory. I will be adding new sources to make the theory more well-rounded. Heatherc43 (talk) 17:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

3-4 Paragraphs
Motherhood of the Construction of “Mommy Identity” – by Heisler & Ellis Face Negotiation Theory suggests that, “USA culture simultaneously encourages connection and autonomy among individuals.” (Heisler & Ellis, 2008, pp. 448.) Mothers do not want to be vulnerable so there is a “face” that is developed in the culture of mothers. Heisler and Ellis did a study on the “face” and reasons for face in motherhood. The results portrayed that the main reasons for keeping “face” in a culture of mothers are:

1. Acceptance and approval: There is a fear of criticism and rejection by others. There is the avoidance face which deflects others attention. Acceptance face attracts attention.

2. Personal Reasons: There are many internal pressures that mothers face. These include the guilt that they do not spend enough time with their children, insecurities and values they have are not being in met, and their self-esteem is low because of the fear of judgment.

3. Mentoring/helping others: Mothers put on a face in order to appear as a good mother figure to younger mothers that look up to them. There are cultural expectations that can contribute to personal expectations for how mothers should act. Women’s thoughts on mothering are not their own original ideas. They take on a lot of societal pressures. An example would be, if a mother’s child acts poorly in public, it makes the mother look bad.

Motherhood and “face”: Results from the same study showed that mothers participate in “Mommy face work.” Depending on who they are talking to or interacting with. Mothers said to put on their highest face with friends, spouses, mothers and other family members.

Wiki 7 : Make Changes.
I edited my previous section a bit and then will be adding a section focused on facework from two sources. I will be adding the section to my article page from Lustig and Koester. This will go into a section called "cultural level propositions," on the face negotiation page.

Abigail, R. A. & Cahn, D. D. (2011). Conflict through Communication. (4th ed.). Boston MA: Pearson. Lustig, M. W. & Koester, J. (2012). Intercultural Competence: Intercultural Communication Across Cultures (7th ed.). Pearson.

Face in interpersonal relationships has three important characteristics. Face is social, an impression and favorable. Face is social, meaning that it is not about how an individual view him or herself, but rather how others view his or her worth. Face is an impression which means that individuals want to be treated with respect, regardless of how others actually view them. Face is favorable and only refers to the positive characteristics that the individual wants other to know about him or her (Lustwig, 2012, 235-236)Heatherc43 (talk) 17:16, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Wiki 8 - Build Article
This will be a subsection under taxonomies.

Facework: the process by which people maintain their views of themselves to others. Abigail and Cahn cover three different types of facework

Preventive Facework: not allowing face issues to bother oneself. People put themselves in the other persons shoes in conflict, accept others opinions

Supportive Facework: When in conflict with someone, this helps reinforce the way the other person is presenting himself or herself. Supportive Facework helps conflict. To generally support people include, consult. Reward and help others. To specifically support people find characteristics in common with one another.

Corrective Facework: to act as if no threat to ones face or how they view themselves. If you are threatened in a minor way, act as if no threat was made. Impression management is used in order to solve bigger conflicts concerning facework. Impression management means that the image you want people to see of you is what they see. By making sure others are on the same page and explaining our message clearly, facework is saved.Heatherc43 (talk) 17:19, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Wiki 9: Review Two Peers
I reviewed Marina: Hey Marina! great article. It is very interesting. I suggest that you add a little more to the last sentence describing the culture. "A substantial and intentional relationship was forged amidst the two cultures which is an experience unique to CODAs." It is a little unclear about what you are refferring to. Other than that, great job on your wikipedia assignments!Heatherc43 (talk) 17:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC

I reviewed bizzymac:"Hey BizzyMac! Great edits to your article on International business. The only suggestion that I have is that you could define the types of risks that you listed. Other than that, great article, great job! Heatherc43 (talk) 17:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC)"

Wiki 10
Hi Heatherc43, I am in the 11:50 Intercultural Communication class. First of all, I would like to thank you for your addition of information to the article. I am sure many people will benefit from it. If you need clarification for anything or any help, feel free to contact me through my talk page. I think that your added information on face negotiation with mothers is very solid as it is not only very insightful but also easily readable and understandable. There is not much that needs changes other than the spacings between each section of the studies on theory. Perhaps you could alter the spacing to make it more consistent throughout. Other than that, good job!

Travis Tai (talk) 18:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

I am still waiting for people to provide feed back on my article. However, I have edited my own sections and hope to get more peer reviews by the end of the week. I edited Bizzymac and Marina.

User page categorization
Hi Heatherc43. I hope you're finding Wikipedia an enjoyable and meaningful place. I noticed that you added your user page to Category:Articles lacking sources. I'm assuming this was an accident, because it is not only irrelevant (user pages don't require bibliographies) but may cause certain bots to make strange edits to the page. If you want to link the category for your own reference, simply put a colon after the opening brackets, as I've done above. Thanks, and happy editing! Xeriphas1994 (talk) 18:51, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey Heather I was so impressed by the overall layout of the article and how much information was on the page. I thought that your additions to the Taxonomies section of the article were very helpful. My only suggestions would be to make sure that your tone matches of writing matches the overall tone of he article. Other that that great job! Marina Chapman (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
