Interpersonal and Small Group Communication

When planning this course, I thought that this course is the same as all other general education courses. I think this is useless for me. But after participating in the first class, my view changed completely. I apply all theories to my life. Surprisingly, all of these ideas are perfectly applicable to perceptual testing as one of the things I believe most. In retrospect, I find tone of various times and I can use perceptual check to solve my problem.

From the perspective of the type of interaction in communication, communication can be divided into three categories. Interpersonal communication in the context of Malaysia, small group communication and public communication. What is interpersonal communication? Personal communication is the exchange of information between at least one or two people who are usually immediately noticed. According to Devito (1989), interpersonal communication is an opportunity for a person to send information and receive information from another person or a few people with different effects and immediate feedback. Interpersonal communication is face-to-face communication that allows each participant to accept reactions of others directly, whether verbal or non-verbal. Interpersonal communication is only two people, such as husband and wife, two colleagues, two best friends, teachers, students.

Interpersonal relationship plays an important role in our daily life. The interaction between two people or a few people is a representative example of interpersonal communication. We will participate in interpersonal relations in almost every situation we encounter. At school, workplace or social gathering, people use interpersonal communication without thinking. Communication helps us to define our perception of others and our own self-perception, self-concept, self-esteem. If we can successfully communicate with other people, it will help us to build a positive image of ourselves. Communication has little effect on their perception. Our own self concepts and psychological images are shaped by the reactions of the people we interact with.
