A Little Comfort for the Theoretically Distressed: A Follow-Up to Burleson et al.'s Response

This research note describes four student myths about the importance of taking a marital and family communication course. Second, the assessment of student beliefs about marriage were examined using Larson's (1988) Marriage Quiz. Results revealed individual differences in endorsing myths as a function of gender, age, religious denomination, and previous exposure to courses in interpersonal communication. The findings indicate that courses in marital communication can debunk selected stereotypes about marriage.
