Paul Mongeau is interested in communication in relationships and the processes of persuasion and social influence. He has studied the earliest stages of romantic relationships, such as first dates, and his present research focuses on Friends with Benefits Relationships (FWBRs). He works with a group of students and together they have found that FWBRs is quite a complicated and varied relationship type. Another area Professor Mongeau works in is persuasion, examining theories of how people understand and respond to persuasive messages. He is especially interested in messages that try to persuade through the creation of fear.
In addition to his research, he served as president of the Western States Communication Association.
interpersonal (specifically relational) communication and persuasion/social influence
In interpersonal communication, my research focused on the earliest stages of romantic relational development, such as first dates. My most recent research in this area focuses on Friends with Benefits Relationships where a number of students and I have investigated the ways in which these relationships differ. In persuasion, my research focuses on the cognitive processing of persuasive messages. My work in this area has focused both on fear appeals as well as dual-process models of persuasion.
