Interpersonal Communication in Relationships
Relationship three that represents romantic relationship or friend appears to be more interpersonal than the rest of the relations in that it scored higher in areas such as the degree of trust, encompasses unique communication rules and in the goals of communication in achieving a common objective. In this area, the scores were relatively higher with each question scoring scale three and above.
The relationship with less interpersonal skills is that of professional or academic relationship. In this type of relationship, most of the questions scored a lower scale that includes the use of psychological information to predict behavior response, the degree of trust as well as the application of unique communication rules.
In the first relationship involves a fellow student, the cultural background does not affect our response to messages as well as our communication. The reason is that we are in the same category and have the same objectives that we aim to fulfill. The communication with my fellow student, involve a professional environment and most of the communication is conducted in the classroom and therefore the communication more likely to be official due to the situation. In this kind of relationship, the content, as well as the choice of words, really matters as the relationship is academic and therefore calls for educational contents during communication. The use of official language, active listening as well as the maintenance of eye contact with the student helps improve our interpersonal communication as we are able to discuss real terminologies used in the academic context and at the same time try to convince on another through official language that aid in improving our grammar and negotiation skills.
The second relationship involves that of an immediate family or that of an extended family member, and to this case, I chose the relationship with my cousin. In this relationship, cultural background affects our communication and responses in that our perceptions influence us since we are raised in different contexts. The situation and environment do not affect our communication as this is a close family member, and we can talk at any time and at any place that is convenient for us. The content of communication for the relationship differ in place and surroundings in that various occasions such as family gatherings will attract a different communication than when we are alone. Besides, the content of the communication is limited or regulated by age. The use of non-official language, being a good listener, being a role model, showing empathy, as well as facial expressions and eye contact, will help in improving the interpersonal relationship.
The third relationship is that of friendship, and this is one of the relationships that people feel free to talk and communicate about anything. The cultural background does not affect our communication with my friend as we had the same ideologies and brought up in the same environment and therefore we almost have similar perspectives. The environment and situation as well do not influence communication except for some instances such in the presence of elders and kids. The content of our communication varies according to subjects or topics under discussion with most of the communication being casual. Some of the techniques that we would use to enhance our communication are the maintenance of our informal language, show empathy, be a good listener, maintain eye contacts and in overall creating a rapport for communication.
