Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

16.5K
Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings.

Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Communication Studies
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Shared reality is crucial for social coordination and understanding.
  • Previous research often focused on initial message delivery rather than ongoing adaptation.
  • Audience-tuning, or adapting messages to audience attitudes, is a key communication mechanism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize research on communication's role in creating shared reality.
  • To examine how evaluative message adaptation influences shared reality.
  • To identify factors that facilitate or limit shared-reality generalization through communication.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on audience-tuning effects in communication.
  • Analysis of research employing various communication paradigms (e.g., message production, grounding, validation).
  • Examination of intragroup communication dynamics, including shared knowledge and stereotypes.

Main Results:

  • Evaluative message adaptation significantly impacts shared-reality creation.
  • Shared reality is enhanced when messages align with audience judgments.
  • Factors like grounding and shared information influence the effectiveness of communication in building shared reality.

Conclusions:

  • Communication is a powerful tool for constructing shared reality.
  • The effectiveness of communication in creating shared reality is context-dependent and has specific boundary conditions.
  • Understanding audience adaptation is key to leveraging communication for shared-reality goals.
