interpersonal communication is defined as a process when two or more people share the roles of sender and receiver with each exercising mutual responsibility for being understood so let's see what this means the process is a systemic series of behaviors that are learned meaning is a significance that each participant gives to the message a mutual responsibility but each participant is accountable to the other for clarifying the meanings of the message so let's take a look at some of the reasons why communication breaks down first of all we have the participants these are the sender and receiver it's easy when both share a common base such as physical psychological social or intellectual context context could be physical such as the place environment distant or time of day social it is the nature of the relationship between the people cultural which is a set of beliefs values and norms shared psychological such as emotions excited sad angry or sick rules are unwritten prescriptions that indicate what behavior is obligating preferred or prohibited in certain context rules can be confusing because they change from time to time participants are always accountable for breaking the rules such as messages including encoding and decoding encodingis delivering a message using a variety of symbols such as verbal and nonverbal communication decoding is interpreting and transforming the message back into thoughts and feelings the interpretation can cause communication breakdown that's why it's important to get your message across successfully channels channels are those that are messages transmitted through sound light waves that could interfere with communication such as music anything written or nonverbal including signing facial expressions and gestures are also part of what we call channels then we have noise anything stimulus that interferes with the shared meaning such as external noise which includes sights and sounds internal which is thoughts and feelings and semantic noise which is actions or words that cause hurt or communication break them and finally we have feedback which is usually the response to a message it indicates whether and how the message is understood so we move on now to perception because perception is very important it is a process of selecting attending sensory information and assigning meaning to it we based all of our behavioral responses on what we perceive so what our perceptions are distorted our communication is likely to be our face and in effect so let's look at a three stages of perception first of all we have selection which includes needsnterest and expectations leads could be psychological or biological then we have organization which includes simplicity pattern and proximity good for form is always something that we also include an organization so when simplicity comes to play it's all about how easy is it for you to proceed when it comes to pattern is about characteristics used to differentiate things Oxana is a distance in how we perceive perception and finally you have interpretation of stimuli as we can see there are letters a and letter V both of these are a series of numbers one could perceive letter A as the last seven digits of a phone number and letter B as a credit card but other people could perceive it in a totally different the reality or accuracy of our self-concept and self-esteem depends on the accuracy of our perceptions and how we process other's perception of us the inaccuracy or a distorted picture of ourselves becomes magnified through self killing prophecies and filtering messages self-fulfilling prophecies are events that happen as the result of the portal expected or talked about and that served to reinforce an individual self-concept they can be self created or otherwise imposed self-fulfilling prophecies and those predictions you make about yourself the results can be positive or negative we can further distort our self perception by filteringwhat others say we may hear the message but we alter the way we listen to the message particularly if the message contradicts the self image we hope for ourselves correct prayers are always needed in order to ensure positive communication so correct meaning is also important words can change and meanings can vary so ensure that you find the right words whether it's in written communication or in verbal communication that would give a good message to your listener so overall communication and message isn't really important what does it mean to be able to communicate love with others well it could mean a variety of different things but overall what it means is that if you communicate effectively the message will be clearly understood by your audience.
