Interpersonal communication is defined
by Michael Cody as: the exchange of symbols used to achieve
interpersonal
goals(28). ... When we are dealing with the issue of
interpersonal communication we must realize that people view it
differently. In this paper I will develop my own idea or definition
of
what interpersonal communication is. ... Interpersonal
communication, in my opinion, is the exchange of information verbal or
non-verbal between two, no more than 5 or 6, people for the purpose of
getting a feedback and sharing information. Interpersonal
communication
is not interpersonal if it involves too many people. When the number
of
people exceeds a certain amount it is no longer interpersonal
communication,it then becomes mass communication. ... When feedback is not present then the lines of
communication break down and then there is no communication at all.
Even
if the message is perceived wrong interpersonal communication still
exists as long as the feedback is given. For example: when you talk
to
someone that is hard of hearing and you ask them to do something and
they
hear you say something other than what you said there is still
interpersonal communication, although it is miscommunication. If the
person, however, does not here the speaker at all and does not give
any
feedback, then interpersonal communication has not been established
according to my definition.
