This document outlines a research study on the effect of sarcasm on trust between individuals in the workplace. It will use a pretest-posttest control group design with two treatments: one where the subject is the target of sarcasm, and another where the subject engages in sarcasm with a researcher. The literature review discusses definitions of gossip and findings that gossip can both strengthen and weaken relationships. The study aims to see if sarcasm decreases reported levels of trust on a survey, and will discuss any results in relation to cognitive dissonance theory.
Difficult to maintain your relationships with people who have narcissistic personality disorder.

This sermon deals with a common and often under-emphasized abuse - Gossip. In this sermon I suggest that gossip is tool by which Satan twists our God-given impulses to build intimacy and share good news and distorts them into a sharing of news not worth sharing at the expense of others. It builds a fragile intimacy and does great harm to the Body of Christ.

Toxic Workplace: High School at the OfficeSusan Nicholas
As business people, it is practically inevitable that at one time or another in our careers, we will be the subject of or somehow involved in negative office gossip.
Gossip is like a toxic mold. It permeates the air and you breathe it in, ingest it. It damages your professional — and maybe even personal — health. It creates animosity, distrust and it's unproductive. It’s been one of the biggest morale killers in any company I’ve worked.

We have to be able to deal with our emotions first before we can deal with the emotions of others. We need to have self-awareness.
Self-awareness is to be aware of our own feelings and what we are going through. We are able to stand with a little distance and examine our situation, without being overwhelmed.
Self awareness does not mean denial of our feelings etc
Self- awareness helps us to make appropriate responses in any given situation.

Do you tend to be a leader or a follower in a small group? Do you talk a lot or little? Perhaps your answers would depend on the quality of your relationships with other group members. Communication scholar Joann Keyton notes that relational communication in groups refers to the verbal and nonverbal messages that create the social fabric of a group by promoting relationships between and among group members. It is the affective or expressive dimension of group communication as opposed to the instrumental, or task-oriented, dimension.1 Relational communication theorists assert that every message people communicate to one another has both a content dimension and a relationship dimension. The content dimension of a message includes the specific information conveyed to someone. The relationship dimension involves message cues that provide hints about whether you like or dislike the person with whom you are communicating. Whether you give a public speech, talk with your spouse, or communicate with another member of a small group, you provide information about the feelings you have toward your listener in addition to the ideas you’re conveying. This chapter emphasizes the relational elements that affect the quality of the relationships you establish with other group members. Specifically, it concentrates on variables that have an important effect on the relationships you establish with others in small groups: (1) the roles you assume, (2) the norms or standards the group develops, (3) the status differences that affect the group’s productivity, (4) the power some members wield, (5) the trust that improves group performance, and (6) some additional effects of cultural differences. Roles Stop reading this chapter for just a moment, and reflect on the question “Who are you?” Now, write down ten different responses. Who Are You? 1. I am ______________________________________________ 2. I am ______________________________________________ 3. I am ______________________________________________ 4. I am ______________________________________________ 5. I am ______________________________________________ 6. I am ______________________________________________ 7. I am ______________________________________________ 8. I am ______________________________________________ 9. I am ______________________________________________ 10. I am ______________________________________________ As we noted in Chapter 2, these responses are part of your theory of yourself—your self-concept. Your self-concept—who you think you are—shapes your communication and relationships with others. Your self-concept also affects how others relate to you. In trying to reduce the uncertainty that occurs when communicating in groups, people quickly assess the behaviors of others. They assign roles—sets of expectations—to others..
