Different types of “Self”Current Lecture- The Communication Processo Human Communication as Action- takes place when a message is sent and received. o Human Communication as Interaction- views communication as a linear step-by-step, where both the source and the receiver send and receive messages but not simultaneously. (This is not how communication actually takes place)o Human Communication as Transaction: Message Creation When speaking face to face, you are constantly reacting to your partner’s responses Based on systems theory Meaning is created based on a concurrent sharing of ideas and feelings Most realistic model for interpersonal communication- a change in one element affects all the other elements.- No single cause to explain why you do the things you do- We coordinate and decode the meaning of the message- Interpersonal Communication Principleso Interpersonal Communication: Connects us to others- The quality of that relationship stems from the interpersonal communication you have with others- Occurs even when we you’re not conscious that you’re doing itThese 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.- When people judge us on our character and not on our intent. Irreversible- You can’t take back what you say or do Is complicated- There is nothing about IC that is easy- When you communicate with another person, there’s 6 people communicatingo Who you think you areo Who the other person thinks they areo Who the other person thinks you areo Who you think the other person iso How you want the other person to see youo How the other person wants you to see them- Symbols are involved- Governed by rules- a followed principle or applied ruleo Explicit Rules- rules are knowno Implicit Rules- rules you just kind of learno Rules are usually mutually exclusive and agreed upon- Involves content and relationship dimensionso Interpersonal Rules- learned from family and friends usually at a younger ageo Metta Communication- the way someone says something, may not be how they meant it to come across. Communicating about the communication- Interpersonal Communication and Technologyo Electronically Mediated Communication (EMC)- not communicating face to face.Isn’t new, but it’s more common and faster now o Hyperpersonal Relationship- a relationship that develops online Interpersonal relationships online are higher when your face to face relationships are high Gives us an idealized impression of that person Women txt and I.M. with more words, sentences, and emotocons.  Shy people who are “bad” at face to face conversations, seem to also be “bad” with online conversations, but not as bad- Differences Between EMC and Face to Face (FtF)o Time When a message is sent, it’s not necessarily seen at the time it’s received.It’s also longer to type than speak You can’t take words back when you’re speaking FtF; it takes time to thinkof what you want to sayo Anonymity You may not always know who you’re talking to onlineo Deception potential Via any forms of communication online, it’s easy to lie.  People can create false personaso Nonverbal cues Online communication has no facial expressions, so you just have to rely on their wordso Role of the written word The way you talk is the way people perceive you.o Distance Online communication usually includes a larger distance in between people. This type of communication allows us to bridge that gap- Understanding EMCo Cues-filtered-out Theory- with EMC it’s harder to see the non-verbal cues so it’s harder to maintain this type of relationshipo Media Richness Theory- Face to Face is always the richest type of verbal communication. Negative messages (break ups) are more commonly sent through less richforms of communication (facebook) Good messages are more commonly sent through richer forms of communication (In person)o Social Information-Processing Theory- people can express a message online, butit could be harder to get across without non-verbal cues. Takes more effort and time If you want to continue the relationship, you’ll pay more attention to what it really is that they’re saying - Communication-Rich Channelso Image in book- Always Ono In 2012 Almost 80% of Americans actively used the Internet 1/10 of the world pop had a facebook account 80% of people under 25 tended to text, rather than call- Text Messaging Etiquetteo Don’t txt when you are with someone else, without apologizingo Don’t txt if you’ve had too much to drinko Don’t txt while drivingo Don’t say anything in a txt you wouldn’t say in persono Don’t send bad news by txt- Interpersonal Communication Competenceo Become knowledgeable, skilled, and motivated Learn the stuff and apply it Practice the skills learned You have to want to learn and practiceo Become other-oriented- think of the feelings of the other person in the relationship while maintaining your ethics Egocentric Communicator- when you only care about yourself in a relationship EthicsChapter 2: Interpersonal Communication and Self- Key Termso Self- central- o Self Concept- self description of who you think you are, filtered through your own perceptions (labels to how we describe ourselves to otherso Attitude- learned pre-disposition… in a favorable or unfavorable way.o Belief- the way we structure our structure of realityo Value- our concepts of what’s wrong and right- Mindfulness: Being Consciously Awareo Mindfulness- the ability to think consciously about something, rather than just reactingo Subjective self awareness- people can differentiate who they are and where they’re at and how that affects uso Objective Self-Awareness- The ability to be the main point of who we areo Symbolic Self-Awareness- unique to humans; allows us to represent ourselves to other Unconsicious
