Study Notes
Interpersonal Communication: Key Concepts
- Defining Interpersonal Communication: Scholars disagree on a precise definition, but generally agree it involves at least two communicators intentionally interacting, viewing each other as subject and object, and incorporating each other's perspectives.
- Contentious Areas: Key points of debate include the number of communicators, physical proximity, interaction units (formality and structure), and influence of external factors on dyadic interactions.
- Proximity vs. Technology: While traditionally seen as face-to-face, interpersonal communication frequently occurs through mediated technologies (e.g., text messages) in the 21st century. Online interactions are still considered interpersonal.
Importance of Studying Communication
- New Perspective: Studying communication provides a new perspective on a daily activity most people take for granted. Many people are unaware of how they communicate or the impact of their communication.
- Time Commitment: We spend a substantial portion of our lives communicating; understanding communication fosters more effective use of this time.
- Relationship Success: Often, relationship problems stem from ineffective communication. Studying communication is important for improving relationships.
- Personal Health and Well-being: Communication is vital for mental and physical health. Sharing experiences can alleviate stress and improve well-being.
- Self-Discovery: Our communication shapes our understanding of ourselves and our identities. Experiences and feedback from others significantly impact our perceptions.
Communication as a Process
- Symbols and Meaning: Communication relies on symbols (words, images, gestures) to represent ideas and concepts. Assignment of symbols is arbitrary, but shared understanding arises from agreements on meaning.
- Denotative vs. Connotative Meanings: Denotative meaning corresponds to the dictionary definition of a word, while connotative meaning encompasses emotional or associated meanings. Cultural and personal contexts affect these meanings.
Mindful Communication
-
Definitions: Mindful communication involves intentional attentiveness during interactions, using awareness and practice skills to enhance interactions.
-
Aspects of Mindfulness:
- Mindful Awareness: Being deeply perceptive of physical presence, cognitive processes, and emotional states without judgment in interactions.
- Mindful Practice: Includes the development of attention, intention, and attitude for mindful awareness in interactions.
-
Mindful Practice components:
