CHAPTER 1: FONDATION OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION, Process of sending…

- - - - Person or thing creates messages
        
        One will formulate and sends messages
    - - Person or things that takes in messages
        
        One will perceives and comprehends messages
- - - - A PROCESS – best viewed as an ever-changing process (yourself, environment, the people)
        
        each person serves simultaneously as a SPEAKER and a LISTENER; an ACTOR and REACTOR
        
        MUTUALLY interactive process
      - LEMENTS ARE INTERDEPENDENT – each IPC’s element is intimately connected to the other part – SOURCE VS RECEIVER etc
    - - each interpersonal interaction has a purpose or combination of purposes
      - A)TO LEARN : to better understand the external world (objects, events, other people)
        
        beliefs, attitudes, and values influenced by interpersonal encounters eg: media or formal education
        
        helps learn about ourselves and other people – encounter a feedback
      - B) TO RELATE : to establish and maintain relationships
        
        feeling more positive
        
        help to alleviate loneliness and depression
      - C)TO INFLUENCE : to influence the attitudes and behaviors of others in interpersonal encounters
        
        a lot of time spent in interpersonal persuasion and try to achieve persuasion goal
        (i) Self-presentation goals: communicate to give others the image you want others to have of you
        (ii)**Relationship goals**: to form the relationships that will meet your needs
        (iii) Instrumental goals: to get others to do something for you
      - D)TO PLAY : to give you a necessary balance and your mind a needed break from all the seriousness around you
        
        develop useful skills such as the ability to take the other person’s perspectives
      - E)TO HELP : everyone interacts to help in everyday encounters
        
        success in accomplishing this helping function, professionally or depends on your
        knowledge and skill in IPC
      - purposes of IPC also can also be viewed
        . (i)MOTIVES FOR ENGAGING IN IPC (satisfying your need for knowledge or forming a relationships)
        (ii)HE RESULTS YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE (to increase your knowledge of yourself and others or to exert influence or power over others)
    - - ambiguous message can be interpreted a shaving more than one meaning
        
        people use words that can be interpreted differently
        
        when expressing an idea people never communicate their meaning exactly and totally
        
        all relationships contain uncertainty
    - - Symmetrical : two individuals mirror each other’s behavior
        
        the relationship is one of equality, with the emphasis on minimizing the differences between the two individuals
        
        aggressiveness can foster aggression
        Complementary: two individuals engage in different behaviors
        
        the differences between the parties are maximized
    - - the CONTENT dimension may be the SAME but the RELATIONSHIPS aspect may be DIFFERENT
        
        Many problems between people result from FAILURE to RECOGNIZED the DISTINCTION between the CONTENT and RELATIONSHIP dimensions
        
        MEN generally focus more on the CONTENT while WOMEN focus more on the RELATIONSHIPS dimensions of COMMUNICATION
        
        Arguments over the CONTENT dimension are relatively easy to resolve
        
        Arguments over the RELATIONSHIP dimension are relatively difficult to resolve
    - - You segment this continuous stream of communication into smaller pieces
        
        Label some of these pieces causes or stimuli and others effects or responses
        
        People punctuate to serve for their convenience
        
        Tendency to divide communication transaction into sequences of stimuli and responses is referred to as PUNCTUATION
    - - A. INEVITABILITY
        
        In many instances you’re communicating even though you might not think you are or might not even want to be
        
        In interactional situation, responses have potential message value
      - B. IRREVERSIBILITY
        
        The process can move in only one direction; it cannot go back again
        
        What you have communicated remains communicated; you cannot UNCOMMUNICATED
        
        Face-to-face communication is EVANESCENT; It FADES after you have spoken
        
        All the messages from FTF and CMC may be kept confidential or revealed publicly
        
        Electronic Messages:
        (i) VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTROY
        (ii) EASILY PUBLISHED AND MADE PUBLIC
        (iii)NOT PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION
      - C. UNREPEATABILITY
        
        Everyone and everything is constantly changing
        
        Can never RECAPTURE the EXACT SAME SITUATION, FRAME OF MIND, RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS that defined a previous INTERPERSONAL ACT
        
        Never get a SECOND CHANCE to make a FIRST IMPRESSION
