History Of Interpersonal Communication

Communication Introduction to Communication Developmental Theory Keyton (2011) defined communication as a process for people to convey, exchange, and receive information with others. According to Cheney (2011), every communication developmental theories basically rooted from the similar principles that involve encoder (sender), message (either in form of verbal and non-verbal), decoder (receiver), feedback, and noise. In this case, we would look into the message part both in verbal (language) and non-verbal (body language) as to review the communication progress of observed individuals. It is because “message” play as a determinant role of quality communication and communication effectiveness is highly depends on this element (Keyton, 2011).

Whoever receives the message that is being communicated is the receiver. As the receiver gets the sender's message they decode and interpret the meaning of the message then they respond by considering the message, they may likewise give feedback or take action. Whenever communication is occurring there is a message being conveyed, either verbally or nonverbally. There are various ways that the message can be transmitted. It can come through words, gestures, eye contact, and so on.

These messages enclose information, and the senders of these messages intend particular meanings to reach the receiver of the message, who will then attribute a meaning to the message. The intended meaning may be varying from the meaning attribute to the message by the receiver. This is not only due to the words was used but also by the non-verbal messages that are also sent (Fielding, 1995). Heath (1997) stated that communication occurs in various ways and at diverse levels of awareness. Barber (1993, cited in Heath, 1997) states that communication is that sharing understandings and involves openness to the enquiry of another person, having attention, perception, receptivity and empathy towards that person.

1. V.C.1. Identify styles and types of verbal communication What are the two types of verbal communication? Explain each and describe what methods can be used to deliver a verbal message.

1. To understand general and specific information, the main idea and most relevant details of oral texts emitted in interpersonal communication situations or via audiovisual media, about topics which do not require specialist knowledge. This criterion assesses the ability to understand messages emitted face-to-face related to material needs and social relationships, physical sensations and feelings or opinions. This criterion also seeks to measure the ability to understand chats, news and presentations broadcast by the media in a clear, brief and organised manner.

I. Introduction: The communication is a process which allows people to express their thoughts, feeling and ideas, it occurs between two or more people and it 's an effective way to show our needs, demands, and requests. The communication can consist on various modes like speech, visuals, sign, written forms, behaviour or even cartoons & flyers. Communication is basically divided into three steps, starting with the Arrangement of message and ideas in mind of sender and then Packaging or Encoding the same message or idea and delivering it to the receiver through a particular channel the receiver will then decode and interpret the message and send a feedback to the sender.

Furthermore Albert Bandura “ Social Cognitive theory states that behavior, environment and person/cognitive factor are all important in understanding personality. Bandura coined the term reciprocal determinism to describe the way behavior, environment, and person cognitive factors interact to create personality. The environment can determine a person’s behavior, and the person can act to change the environment. Some of the important process and variables that Bandura use to understand personality is the Observational Learning that he believe that this is a key aspect of how we learn. Through this process we form ideas about the behavior of others and then possibly adopt this behavior ourselves.

If our audience doesn’t understand what we mean, we can tell by the response and then refine the message accordingly. Giving our audience a chance to provide feedback is crucial for maintaining an open communication climate. The speaker must create an environment that encourages feedback. For example after explaining the job to the subordinated he must ask them whether they have understood it or not. He should ask questions like “Do you understand?”, “Do you have any question?” etc.

Self is multiple. Self-concepts are mental constructs a person holds after interacting with the world. Self-esteem is the evaluation a person makes for him/herself. Self-esteem will impact the formation of self-concepts while self-concepts together will form the self. Next, I will review the literature on the notion of identity and its relationship with the self.

The focus of his research and academic publishings was Media; what it can be used for, how it can be used, and effects that are a result of using media (Pelkey “Media and Ideology 1”). McLuhan theorized that the medium used to promote a message affects the way in which the message is perceived, coining the phrase “the medium is the message”. “The medium is the message because it is the medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human association and action. For the ‘message’ of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs” (Pelkey “Media and Ideology 1”). If a product is advertised on the radio, the perception listeners have will be different from the perception of those who see the same product on a television advertisement.
