This is a presentation about communication accommodation theory I did when I was in Communication Theory.

2. Convergence- A strategy of adapting your communication
behavior to become more similar to another person
DIvergence- A communication strategy of accentuating the
differences between you and another person
Counteraccommodation- Direct, intentional, and even hostile
ways of maximizing social distance
Social Distance- How similiar or different we are from
another person
Overaccommodation- Demeanining or
patronizing talk; excessive concern paid to vocal
clarity or amplification, message simplification
or repetition; similiar to divergence.

3. The effects of speech rate similarity
on compliance
What did they do? Hypothesis
Their second hypothesis was
that speakers rate become
similar to listeners rate which
also proved to be true
