Introduction In any communication transaction between two or more individuals, there are factors that affect the quality of exchange of message. These factors are commonly known in communication as noises. Nevertheless, observing every communication transaction that people do, there are a lot of noises that can be found and these vary depending on the given social situation. Hence, this paper focuses on one specific noise and its effect to communication—space. To be more particular, this discusses the role of personal space in an interpersonal level of communication. Moreover, it answers the following problems: one, how does it affect the speaker and the audience while communicating; two, how does it affect the quality of the message being …show more content…
Being distant could show off as cold or snob. It is important to know the situation of the possible audience’s culture to know how to adjust the personal distance depending on the relationship of the speaker and the audience. However, culture is just one of the factors that can affect your personal space adjustment. It is still a personal choice made on an individual level.
Analysis: Personal Space, Schramm’s Model and Social Penetration Theory Looking deeper on E. Hall’s model of proxemics, personal space is dependent on the relationship of both the speaker and the audience; the relationship is founded on the common experiences between the two. Having said those facts, Hall’s model of proxemics is strongly related to Schramm’s model of communication. W. Schramm’s model of communication states that for every communication transaction happening, there is always a common field of experience between the speaker and the audience. It is represented by a venn diagram which signifies each other’s identity. The overlapping area at the center of the venn diagrams is the common field of experience. It can be implied that the greater the common field, the easier the communication transaction is. The experiences allow both the decoder and encoder to connect in a way that they can both relate making the transaction more

The goal of the interacting people is to reach the core. The nearer the layer of relationship to the core, the closer the relationship is. Thus, interpersonal communication operates from relatively shallow, non-intimate levels to deeper and more intimate ones (Griffin 2011). Disclosing information becomes freer as the interacting people get nearer to the core. Hence, it can be said that the smaller the personal space, the closer the relationship of the speaker and the audience; the closer the relationship of the speaker and the audience, the easier and freer the exchange of message happens. The easier and freer the exchange of message happens, the better the quality of communication between the speaker and the audience in terms of the ability of the message to be understood and the difficulty of exchanging the
These connections are convenient, but they are less personal. There is no physical connection or tone of the words that are being spoken. Visual and auditory cues are necessary because “Human beings need real physical social interaction to survive”(Brandon). Sitting in their moving seats next to each other, two individuals are talking to each other, but not face-to-face. The friends are communicating over a screen that is projected in front of their faces.
It is common knowledge that humans are social animals by nature. We as humans want to form the most complex bonds with other humans as mentally and physically possible and we do much of this through the use of communication. Without language we are unable to properly convey our emotions and ideas to others which restricts our ability to form complex bonds. This idea that ideas cannot be conveyed without language is exhibited repeatedly throughout Butler’s work: “[s]he did not know how to tell him her children were dead” (347). In addition, the idea that we cannot have complex relationships without communication is also supported by Butler’s work: “[n]o one had touched her for three years” (346).
Because of this, communication could assist in attaining a

Interpersonal relationships can take form in many different ways and are everywhere, such as at the workplace, school, home, and even the grocery store. Interpersonal relationships consist of family, friendship, social, romantic, and online relationships; all of these relationships have one big thing in common: the element of communication. In the movie, The Notebook, the film primarily focuses on the romantic relationship between people named Noah and Allie. Upon meeting Noah, a poor man, and Allie, an upper-class woman, quickly fall in love, however, struggle with maintaining their relationship due to their social differences. The movie displays an array of interpersonal communication concepts, such as the social exchange theory, the declining
When using REBT to address Maliya’s problems my goals would be to help her recognize and correct irrational thinking and see how her thinking is connected to her behavior. . In order to accomplish this, I would simply explain the concept of irrational thinking and replacing it with more rational thinking. From this point we would begin to examine some of her flawed thinking. In order to find out what her self-talk is, we would need to examine some current problems that she faces by using trauma focuses cognitive behavior therapy and play therapy. By employing the A-B-C-D-E model of disputing, we would learn about her thoughts and feelings regarding any traumatic events.
Title In everyday life, communication is constantly and subconsciously used. The importance of human connection in life is often overlooked. Interpersonal communication is a dynamic form of communication between two (or more) people in which the messages exchanged significantly influence their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships (pg. 11 text book).
In this phase, Person A is now able to comfortably ask and talk about Person B’s values and personal issues, or vice versa. They now are “less constrained” by the rules and norms of communication and are capable of conversing more freely with each other (University of Twente, 2010). The exit stage, however, is the final stage wherein the participants decide whether they want to develop or end the relationship and interaction they have established (World Heritage Encyclopedia,
Yet, one thing still remained – our interpersonal communication. We still exchange information. We still speak about our feelings, through verbal and non-verbal messages. Over time, myriads of professors have developed different theories that humans communicate. This paper will take a look at Knapp’s Relationship Theory what the purpose of the study is and the results.
Anthropologist Edward T. Hall’s theory of high- and low-context culture helps us better understand the powerful effect culture has on communication. A key factor in his theory is context. This relates to the framework, background, and surrounding circumstances in which communication or an event takes place. The following highlights the problems facing low-context Americans when they interact with people from high-context cultures such as Japan in the movie ‘The Last Samurai’.
For example, a person will most likely talk to a person that they already confined in rather than a person that they barely met. The article” Self Disclosure, Intimacy and Communication in Families. Focuses on how disclosure takes a toll on the advancement of the intimacy of two people. Intamacy does not have to be sexual, it could just be that a person wants to be loved. Self-disclosure could also affect a person’s self-esteem.
Introduction: The process of communicating successfully with our family, friends, co-workers, business associates and people is one of the most critical skills. Communication is such a key part of life that I often tell to a person that “Its no use of someone if he/she really don’t know by associates people in their work place or area of field”. Communication makes us to be known of others, good or bad that depends on usability of a person communication. And, it is up to each of us to learn to communicate well with those who are important to us.
I observed how space can be used to convey messages between people in many different relationships. I saw how friends, couples, family, strangers, and workers interacted through space during my observation. The location I chose was a Flying Star cafe on the westside of Albuquerque. This already explains a lot about the demographic I got to observe. Since the restaurant is on the westside of town, most of the people that choose to eat there live in more stable areas of the city, where they have nine to five jobs and middle class.
Communication Technology Technology has changed our lifestyle and is continuing to alter it. Every aspect of our life has been somehow touched by technology. However, technology has made a significant impact on the way we communicate and new communication technologies are continuously improving and being used in everyday life. It has become an essential part of most our lives because we, as a human species, have always had this deep desire to communicate, and to communicate over distance. The obstruction of connecting two regions has drastically decreased due to the fact that we now have mobile phones, Internet, and social media to make life easier.
Conversation analysis ( abbreviated CA) has a crucial importance in daily life of people communication. Conversation analysis studies both formal and non-formal exchanges talks among people, it also studies verbal and non-verbal action. McCarthy et al. (2002: 60-61) state that conversation analysis “ is concerned with the detailed organization of everyday conversation”. As to Crystal (1997:75) defines conversation analysis as "a term used in linguistics and associated discipline to refer to a method of studying the sequential and coherence of conversations ( in their everyday sense) usually employing the techniques of ethnomethodology".
