    Area of Science:

    • Communication Studies
    • Systems Theory
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Current interpersonal communication models often oversimplify complex interactions.
    • A mismatch between communication models and interactional complexity hinders accurate analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce conceptual parameters for an N-adic communication model.
    • To address the oversimplification in analyzing interpersonal communication.
    • To develop models matching the complexity of N-person interactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of interpersonal communication.
    • Development of an N-adic communication model.
    • Identification of key parameters: Territoriality, Temporality, and Duality.

    Main Results:

    • An N-adic model offers a framework for analyzing communication at various complexity levels.
    • Parameters like Territoriality, Temporality, and Duality enhance model applicability.
    • The model supports observers in selecting appropriate analytical stances.

    Conclusions:

    • Adopting systems approaches necessitates communication models that reflect interactional complexity.
    • The proposed N-adic model provides a more nuanced approach to interpersonal communication.
    • This framework aids observers in analyzing N-person communication dynamics effectively.
