Study Notes
Communication Climate
- Communication climate is the social tone of a relationship.
- Every relationship has a unique communication climate.
- Climates are shared by everyone involved in the relationship.
Deception
- Deception is knowingly and intentionally providing false information.
- People lie for various reasons, including low and high-stakes situations.
- Types of deception include:
- Falsification: sharing false information as if it were true.
- Exaggeration: inflating or overstating facts.
- Omission: leaving out important information to create a false impression.
- Equivocation: giving vague or ambiguous answers to create the impression that a question has been answered.
How Communication Climates Develop
- Confirming communication conveys value and worth.
- Disconfirming communication lacks regard, value, or worth for the other person.
Levels of Message Confirmation
- Confirming messages include recognition, acknowledgement, and endorsement.
- Disagreeing messages are messages of argumentativeness and complaining.
- Disconfirming messages include impervious response, interrupting response, irrelevant response, tangential response, ambiguous response, and incongruous response.
Creating Supportive Climates
- Evaluation vs. description: Evaluation judges; description offers specific observations.
- Control vs. problem-orientation: Control imposes a solution; problem-orientation finds a mutually satisfying solution.
- Strategy vs. spontaneity: Strategy hides motives; spontaneity is honest.
- Neutrality vs. empathy: Neutrality is indifference; empathy puts oneself in another's place.
- Superiority vs. equality: Superiority is patronizing; equality treats others as having equal worth.
- Certainty vs. provisionalism: Certainty is dogmatic; provisionalism is open-minded.
