WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
2.
Interpersonal communication involves mutual influence between individuals. Interpersonal communication is the fundamental means we use to manage relationships.
3.
Impersonal communication
People are treated as unique individuals People communicate in an I thou relationship. There is true dialogue and honest sharing of self with others. Often involves someone you care about
People are treated as objects. People communicate in an I it relationship. Each person has a role to perform. Mechanical, stilted communication rather than honest sharing of feelings. Communicate with people you have no history with and expect no future of them.
People are affected by a transaction (Discuss). A smile may affect us differently if it comes from a boyfriend than a stranger that we met by the roadside. We are also affected by the nonverbal gestures by our partner/friend.
WHY?
EXAMPLES A relationship is an ongoing connection you make with others through interpersonal communication.
Mass communication occurs when someone communicates the same message to many people at once, but the creator of the message is not physically present. Listeners have no opportunity to respond immediately. Example: radio and TV. Public communication occurs when a speaker addresses an audience in person. Small group communication occurs when a group of from 3 to 15 meet to interact with a common purpose and mutually influence by one another. Intrapersonal communication is communication with yourself.
Can you give some thoughts of why interpersonal communication is important in our lives?
Human communication
The process of making out of the world and sharing that sense with others by creating meaning through verbal and nonverbal messages. The process of interacting with another and mutually influencing each other usually for purpose of managing relationships.
Interpersonal communication
