Interpersonal Communication Key Concepts
Interpersonal Communication Key Concepts:
Chapter 1:
Content Meaning (P.23): The content of, or denotative information in, communication. Content-level meanings are literal.
Dual perspective (P.31): The ability to understand both your own and another’s perspective, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings.
Ethics (P.26): The branch of philosophy that deals with moral principles and codes of conduct. Because interpersonal communication affects people, sometimes profoundly, it always has ethical implications.
Feedback (P.16): Responses to messages. Feedback is continuous, and it may ne verbal, nonverbal, or both; it may be intentional or unintentional.
I-It Communication (P.18): Impersonal communication in which people are treated as objects or as instrumental to our purpose.
Interactive model (P.16): A model that represents communication as a feedback process, in which listeners and speakers both simultaneously send and receive messages.
Interpersonal Communication (P.19): A selective, systemic, ongoing process in which individuals interact to reflect and build personal knowledge and to create meanings
Interpersonal Communication Competence (P.30): Proficiency in communication that is interpersonally effective and appropriate. Competence includes the abilities to monitor oneself, to engage in dual perspective, to enact a range of communication skills, and to adapt communication appropriately.
I-Thou Communication (P.30): Fully interpersonal communication in which people acknowledge and deal with each other as unique individuals who meet fully in dialogue.
I-You Communication (P.19): Communication midway between impersonal and interpersonal communication, in which the other is acknowledged as a human being but not fully engaged as a unique individual.
Linear Model (P.16): A model that represents communication as a one-way process that flows in one direction, from sender to receiver. Linear models do no capture the dynamism of communication or the active participation of all
