Study Notes

Reasons for Communication

We communicate to fulfill social obligations, such as greeting people and talking to meet social expectations.
We communicate to develop relationships, deepen and maintain them through communication.
We communicate to exchange information, which can be obtained through reading, observations, media, and communication with others.
We communicate to influence others, such as encouraging or persuading them towards something.

Principles of Communication

Communication is purposive, meaning it has a purpose, whether trivial or significant.
Communication is continuous, even silence communicates something, and we should be aware of our non-verbal behavior.
Communication messages vary in conscious encoding, meaning they can be spontaneous, based on a learned script, or constructed based on the situation.

Types of Communication

Communication can be classified into four categories: verbal, non-verbal, written, and mediated.
Verbal communication involves words, spoken, and is based on an organized system of words.
Non-verbal communication includes body language, facial expressions, eye contact, posture, and the sound of our voice.
Written communication is a formal method of communication, produces a permanent record, and includes sending messages, orders, or instructions in writing.
Mediated communication is carried out using information communication technology (ICT).

Levels of Communication

Communication levels include intrapersonal, interpersonal, and public communication.
Intrapersonal communication occurs within the person, also referred to as cognitive or personal communication or “self-talk”.
Interpersonal communication occurs between two or more people who establish communicative relationships.
Public communication is intended for a large crowd or audience, and can be direct or indirect.

Non-Verbal Communication

Non-verbal communication is a type of communication that does not make use of words but may enhance or change the linguistic code.
One common misconception is that what is being said is more important than how it is being said.
