Elements of Interpersonal Comm

Source-receiver is the person who sends and receives interpersonal messages simultaneously.

Encoding-decoding refers to the act of putting meaning into verbal and nonverbal messages and deriving meaning from the messages you receive from others.

Encoding refers to the act of producing messages thru speaking or writing
Decoding refers to the act of understanding messages.
Speakers and writers are encoders.
Listeners and readers are decoders.

Feedback messages are messages that are sent back by the receiver to the source in response to other messages.
There are positive feedback and negative feedback.
Positive feedback eg: compliment.
Negative feedback eg: critism.

Immediate or delayed feedback
Feedback about how fast you respond to a question.Some will answer without hesitant.Some will answer with consideration.
For example, when a guy propose to a girl, sometimes they take days to reply back, but some just agrees to it immedietly.

Low Monitoring and High Monitoring
Feedback varies from the spontaneous and totally honest reaction (low monitoring feedback) to the carefully constructed response designed to serve a specific purpose (high monitoring feedback).

Feedforward messages are messages that preface other messages and ask that the listener approach future messages in a certain way.

Altercasting

  1. I would like to add that for source- receiver, who you are, what you know, what you believe, what you value, what you want, what you have been told and what your attitudes are all influence what you said, how you say it, what messages you receive and how you receive them.
    For example, if you are a lawyer, the way that you talk is difference to other.

  2. In feedback messages, there are also person focused- message focused. Person focused is feedback that center on the person. For e.g."You're sweet" or "You have a great smile"
    Message focused is feedback that center on the message, for e.g., "Can you repeat that number?" or "Your argument is a good one." There are also supportive- critical feedback messages. Supportive feedback accepts the speaker and what the speaker says. It occors, for example, when you consule another, encourage him or her to talk, or otherwise confirm the person's definition of self. Critical feedback, on the other hand, is evaluative; it's judgmental. When you give critical feedback, you judge another's performace- as in, for example, coaching someone learning a new skill.
