John O. Greene studies how people learn, produce, and improve communication skills, including why communication-skills training programs sometimes fail to transfer to real-life situations. His more recent work also examines positive, playful, and 'transcendent' forms of interpersonal connection between adults, and he has developed theoretical frameworks (such as Action Assembly Theory) explaining the cognitive processes behind message production, including deceptive communication.
