Understanding Interpersonal Communication
Characteristics of Interpersonal Communication
What Makes Communication Interpersonal? Two-way interactions between people who are part of a close and irreplaceable relationship in which they treat each other as unique individuals.
Mediated interpersonal Communication: Mediated channels enable communication that would not happen otherwise. Every day in my real life I use cyber communication just as much or more than face-to-face communication.
How We Choose Relational Partners
Evaluating Relationship Potential: Their are eight reasons why people choose to form relationships with people.
Relationship Reality Check: First impressions can mislead, our priorities change, perfection can be a turn-off, it's not all about communication, but it's a lot about communication.
Types of Interpersonal Relationships
Friendship: Good friends keep us healthy, boost our self-esteem, and make us feel loved and supported. In my own life I strive to spend a lot of time with my friends.
Family Relationships: Family relationships tend to be formed by blood relation and experiences with people.
Romantic Partners: Trust, agreeableness, and emotional expressiveness are primarily responsible for long term success.
Communication Patterns in Relationships
Content and Relational Messages: A content message is a message that communicates information about the subject being discussed. A relational message is a message that expresses the social relationship between two or more individuals.
Metacommunication: Messages that refer to other messages; communication about communication.
Self-Disclosure in Interpersonal Relationships: The process of deliberately revealing information about oneself that is significant and that would not normally be known by others.
Dialectical Perspective of Interpersonal Relationships: Relational partners continually must negotiate to satisfy opposing or incompatible forces, both within themselves and with one another.
Lies and Evasions: People lie more than they think. In my life I have been deceived by people close to me more than a few times and I've also deceived people.
