Purposes and Principles of
Interpersonal Communication



4 Principles Of
Interpersonal
Communication
Interpersonal
communication is
inescapable
Interpersonal
communication is
irreversible
Interpersonal
communication is
complicated
Interpersonal
communication is
contextual


Interpersonal communication is
inescapable

Through not only words, but through
tone of voice and through gesture,
posture, facial expression, etc., we
constantly communicate to those
around us.
Even when you sleep, you
communicate. A basic principle of
communication in general is people
are not mind readers. Or in other
words people judge you by your
behavior, not your intent.
Interpersonal communication is
irreversible

You can't really take back something once
it has been said. The effect of your saying
will remain there. A Russian proverb says,
"Once a word goes out of your mouth, you
can never swallow it again."
Interpersonal communication
is complicated

Who you think you are;
Who you think the other person is;
Who you think the other person thinks
you are;
Who the other person thinks he /she is;
Who the other person thinks, you think
you are;
Who the other person thinks you think
he is.
Interpersonal communication is
contextual

Psychological context
Relational context
Situational context
Environmental context
Cultural context
Which is who you are
and what you bring to the interaction.
Your needs, desires, values,
personality etc all forms the
psychological context.
I. Psychological
Context:
Which concerns your reactions to
the other person
II. Relational Context:
Deals with the psycho-social "where"
you are communicating. An
interaction that takes place in a
classroom will be very different from
one that takes place in a bar.
III. Situational
Context:
Deals with the physical "where" you
are communicating. Furniture,
location, noise level, temperature,
season, time of day, all are examples
of factors in the environmental
context.
IV. Environmental
Context:
Includes all the learned behaviors
and rules that affect the interaction.
V. Cultural Context:
PURPOSES OF
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
Gaining Information

Understanding

Interpersonal Needs

I. Gaining
Information:
One reason we engage in
interpersonal communication is so
that we can gain knowledge
about another individual.
Self-Disclosure is often used to get
information from another person.
II. Understanding:
We also engage in interpersonal
communication to help us better
understand what someone says in a
given context. The words we say can
mean very different things depending
on how they are said or in what
context.
III. Interpersonal
Needs:
Finally, we engage in interpersonal
communication because we need to
express and receive interpersonal
needs.
