Intentional Verbal: Premeditated, spoken communication; more common than unintentional verbal communication.ie: saying hello, having a conversationb. Unintentional Verbal:Communicating verbally without meaning to.ie: yelling if someone scares youc. Intentional Nonverbal:Planned nonverbal communication.ie: When you plan an outfit, you are communicating something about yourself. When you change your tone of voice to convey meaning, such as when you whisper or yell.Gestures, such as flipping someone off or giving a thumbs up, are planned nonverbal communication.d. Unintentional Nonverbal:Unplanned, unspoken communication; more common than intentional nonverbalcommunication. Humans are constantly communicating this way.ie: body language, tone of voiceII. Why Study Communication?a. Communication is “pervasive” (everywhere)b. It is practical, both for personal and professional relationshipsc. People assume they are better at communicating than they actually areThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.i. A study asked participants if they thought they were better at the following traits than others, and then asked friends and coworkers of the participants the same questions about the participants. 1. Strong interpersonal skills: 65% of participants claimed they were better at this than others, while only 14% of people who knew them agreed.2. Team player: 60% claimed to be better at this, 22% of friends/coworkers agreed.3. Leadership skills: 40% said they were better at this, only 9% agreed.III. One Definition of Human Communicationa.

Effective Communication Outcomes (or what we hope to accomplish through communication)a. Understanding, as stated in the above definition of communicationb. Pleasure – humans derive great pleasure from communication with othersi. Studies on the effects of solitary confinement support the idea of it being able to cause dramatic symptoms in short periods of time, mental illness in extreme casesii. Prisoners subjected to solitary confinement will go to great lengths to communicate with others – the Prisoner’s Alphabet, a complicated series of taps that each correspond to a letter has been used by those in prison forbidden to speak and is an example of the extent to which people will go to communicate with othersc.
