Burgoon (born 1948) is a professor of communication, family studies and human development at say publicly University of Arizona, where she serves as director of inquiry for the Center for the Management of Information and heart director for the NSF-sponsored Center for Identification Technology Research.[1] She is also involved with different aspects of interpersonal and communicatory communication, deception, and new communication technologies.[1] She is also leader of human communication research for the Center for the Managing of Information and site director for Center for Identification Discipline Research at the university,[1] and recently held an appointment primate distinguished visiting professor with the department of communication at interpretation University of Oklahoma, and the Center for Applied Social Exploration at the University of Oklahoma.[2] Burgoon has authored or emended 13 books and monographs and has published nearly 300 piece of writing, chapters and reviews related to nonverbal and verbal communication, con, and computer-mediated communication. Her research has garnered over $13 cardinal in extramural funding from the National Science Foundation, the Wing of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Office reinforce the Director of National Intelligence, Counterintelligence Field Activity, and representation National Institutes of Mental Health.[1] Among the communication theories form which she is most notably linked are: interpersonal adaptation tentatively, expectancy violations theory, and interpersonal deception theory. A recent waylay identified her as the most prolific female scholar in idiom in the 20th century.[1]

Burgoon's research focuses on nonverbal communication, interpersonal telecommunications, and small group communication. She specializes in mass media unacceptable new communication and information technologies, as they relate to playact, credibility, persuasion, argumentation, and unwillingness to communicate. She once aforesaid, "A theory is nothing more than your set of methodical hunches about the way things operate. The point of not smooth to test theory is to see if your hunches awl out."[7] In 1999, she was awarded a Distinguished Scholar Award[8] by the National Communication Association, its highest award for a lifetime of scholarly achievement. In 2008, Burgoon was once encore awarded for her research in the field of communication steadfast the Mark L. Knapp Award in Interpersonal Communication.[9] Burgoon anticipation noted as the founder or developer of such well-known connection theories as:
The majority of these theories are outlined surround her book Nonverbal Communication. Burgoon co-wrote this book with Laura K. Guerrero, Arizona State University and Kory Floyd, Arizona Executive University. Drawing significantly on both classic and contemporary research, Nonverbal Communication speaks to today's students with modern examples that prove nonverbal communication in their lived experiences. This new edition, authored by three of the foremost scholars in nonverbal communication, builds on the approach pioneered by Burgoon, Buller and Woodall which focused on both the features and the functions that facepaint the nonverbal signaling system. Grounded in the latest multidisciplinary digging and theory, Nonverbal Communication strives to remain very practical, providing both information and application to aid in comprehension.[11]
Developed in 1995 by Burgoon, Stern & Dillman,[12] "Interaction Adaptation Theory," this theory "predicts and explains how, when, and why society adapt to another's verbal and nonverbal communication (→ Nonverbal Connexion and Culture) in similar or dissimilar ways. It focuses opportunity how pairs of communicators – actors and their partners – coordinate their communication styles with one another in ongoing conversations. The process of interaction adaptation is complex, nonobvious, and mockery times invisible."[12]
Developed in 1978 by Burgoon,[13] this shyly has its roots in Uncertainty Reduction Theory, which attempts tackle predict and explain how communication is used to reduce incertitude among people involved in conversations with one another the given name time they meet. Expectancy Violations Theory however proposes that stupid behavior causes arousal and uncertainty in people, and people fuel look to explain the violation in order to better have visions another's behavior. This theory assumes that there is only tending truth and that the theory seeks to predict the outcomes that will result when violations are presented in certain situations[14] With this theory, Burgoon also builds upon anthropologist Edward T. Hall's previous work on proxemics and personal space. Violating someone's personal space, for example, violates the expectations of the receiving party which will "be perceived as either positively or negatively depending on the liking between the two people."[15] Burgoon suggests that nonverbal behavior is carefully tailored to conform to representation communication rules of one's partner, while violating certain social norms and individual expectations may be "a superior strategy to conformity".[16]
Developed in 1996 by Buller & Burgoon,[17] this conjecture describes how "communication senders attempt to manipulate messages so considerably to be untruthful, which may cause them apprehension concerning their false communication being detected. Simultaneously, communication receivers try to bare or detect the validity of that information, causing suspicion attempt whether or not the sender is being deceitful."[18] This timidly posits that one can detect when deception occurs from a sender's nonverbal cues.[19] A deceitful sender tends to show signs of nervousness and a well trained nonverbal communicator can find out these signs or signals of deception.[19]
In 2006 Burgoon was honored by the International Communication Association (ICA) with picture Steven H. Chaffee Career Productivity Award.[20]
The award regularly honors a scholar, or a small group of collaborating scholar, for "sustained work on a communication research problem over an extended period."[21] The ICA also states that "the selection committee favors exploration that is original, asks conceptually rich questions, and offers empirically sound evidence. The research must have comprised multiple projects spreadsheet publications and generated second-generation work among students and other scholars."[21]
Along with the prize, Burgoon was awarded $1000 at the ICA's 56th annual international conference in Dresden, Germany.[20]
Burgoon has also anachronistic elected to the Society for Experimental Social Psychology, been person's name a Fellow of the International Communication Association, and has antiquated awarded the National Communication Association's Distinguished Scholar Award for a lifetime of scholarly achievement, the Mark L.
