...Communication | Interpersonal & Intrapersonal communication | Communication | | Chris Galvin (17958730) | 7/22/2015 | The idea of this paper is to look at the differences and advantages/dis-advantages with interpersonal and intrapersonal communication not so much in a work setting but more in a everyday life setting encompassing work life; home life and school life and the ways they all seem to tie into each other. | In the not too long but somewhat varied experiences that I have found myself in through say the last 30 years one thing that I have learned about the way people communicate is that not one person does it the same way as the next. Everyone has their own styles or preferences that they use when they are communicating whether it be interpersonal or intrapersonal, some people will not always realize that someone else is around and those that do may not think about it too much. Communication can be either a private matter or a consensual matter; Interpersonal communication does have ties with self-awareness. I have found in certain circumstances that I do in fact become self-aware when I am using intrapersonal communication. Meichenbaum for example, states that "In psychology, the term inner speech usually signifies soundless, mental speech, arising at the instant we think about something, plan or solve problems in our mind, recall books read or conversations heard, read and write silently. In all such instances we think and remember with the...

...Khanna MA (Communication and Journalism) Communication Theory – Literature Review Topic : Is Transpersonal communication a stand-alone type of communication or a subtype of Intrapersonal communication? Department of Communication and Journalism, Mumbai University (2013) Abstract: Transpersonal communication is principally defined as a communication between a person and God, spirits, ancestors, or other divine entities. However, their existence is debatable and depends on the individual’s beliefs. It is his mind which believes in their existence or absence which ultimately leads to the question of whether the person actually communicated with a second entity or himself. This raises the question as to whether transpersonal communication can be regarded as a stand-alone type of communication or a subtype of intrapersonal communication which is principally defined as communication within an individual. Hypothesis: * Transpersonal communication is a stand-alone type of communication * Transpersonal communication is a subtype of intrapersonal communication * Transpersonal communication is maybe a subtype of intrapersonal communication Objective: To know the degree up to which transpersonal communication can be regarded as a stand-alone type of communication Literature Review: “Levels of communication are determined on the basis of the number of people involved in the process of communication as well as on the purpose of communication. Intrapersonal...

...Am I Talking to Me? By Izzy Gesell The Power of Internal Dialogue to Help or Hinder Our Success Good communication skills are high on everyone's list of relationship "must-haves." Successful communication can be described as the transmission of thought, feeling or action so that is satisfactorily understood. Usually, the skills referred to are of the interpersonal variety. I think it's just as important to understand your internal communication, referred to as your self-talk, Self-talk is defined as the ongoing dialogue we have with ourselves that determines our behavior and it turns out we talk to ourselves all the time. This self-talk both reflects and creates our emotional states so when the self-talk is negative we become more stressed, less confident and more concerned with what other people think. We often tend to believe our self-talk is real and objective, not always aware that it comes from a feeling or belief we have. The good news is that we can transform our life experiences by learning how to defuse the power of negative self-talk. This entry will look at what self talk is, how it works and describe 5 kinds of negative self-talk. Part 2 will describe 5 additional kinds of negative self talk and offer a way to turn negative self talk around into positive action. HOW SELF-TALK WORKS In the memorable subtitle scene of the movie "Annie Hall." Woody Allen ("Alvy" and Diane Keaton ("Annie") are on the balcony off Annie's apartment. With a cityscape in the background...

...Communication and collaboration for different learners and personalities Terry Vasquez Gen/200 August 30, 2010 Iessa-Mitchell-Sutton Communication and Collaboration for Different Learners and Personalities Working with a learning team will sometimes require working with different learning styles and personality types. Some of which may cause conflict among team members. It is important that the team recognize that there are differences in both personality and learning styles and find a way to communicate productively and work in partnership with one another. Doing so will aid in the collective purpose of the team and lead to ultimate success. With my Pathways to Learning experience I scored the highest in Musical followed by Verbal-Linguistic, and third, Intrapersonal. The first Personality I will introduce is the Intrapersonal Personality. Intrapersonal communication is simply people communicating with themselves. This is the internal dialog they have with themselves. For instance Intrapersonal personalities are very in tune with their inner self. They make to-do lists or can have debates with themselves listing out the pros and cons of something before they take action. These personalities can be very strong in the group dynamic. Because they talk to themselves they also can effectively communicate and collaborate with others. This internal talk can also cause problems on the other side of the communication coin, listening skills. Because intrapersonal personalities...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Gen/200 Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Communication plays a very important role in our life. If one were not able to communicate effectively, it would be very difficult for them interact with others, learn, and express their feelings. One of the bigger challenges one may face, is how big of a role personality styles play when it comes to communicating to a group of people. A few of the personality types that will be covered in this material include: giver, thinker, and organizer. Also covered will be the following learning styles: verbal linguistic, intrapersonal, and personal (Axia, 2007). The success of a team environment is determined by the ability of these styles being able to work together. Verbal-linguistic individuals usually love learning new languages, reading, and writing. They are usually very effective at being able to communicate through speech, and are very good at teaching others and explaining things. They are usually best taught through lectures, writing, and reading. A person who possesses interpersonal intelligence, are usually good at relating to and understanding the views of others. They usually communicate well to others in a group setting, and like to ask lots of questions. These individuals enjoy the feedback that they get from questions, and learn easily in a group environment. The final intelligence I will cover is intrapersonal. Intrapersonal individuals in a lot of ways...

...Communication Channels Within an Organization By: Jamie Lee What is communication? Communication is the act of exchanging words, thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. It’s the art of using words to impart information or ideas. In any work environment communication is part of your day, how y9ou will complete your assigned duties. Communication is how you will get your point across. In my paper I will explain the different levels of communication and the importance of proper positive communication in your everyday work environment. Intrapersonal Communication is language use or internal thought to the communicator. Intrapersonal communication is the active involvement of the individual in symbolic processing of messages. The indicidual becomes his or her own sender and receiver, providing feedback to him or herself in an ongoing internal process. It can be useful to imagine intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver and feedback. Although successful communication is generally defined as being between two or more individuals have argued that this definition is too narrow. Some forms of intrapersonal communication is day-dreaming, speaking aloud, reading aloud, repeating what one hears which increases conmcentration and retention. This is considered normal. Making gestures while thinking and interpreting non-verbal communication. Interpersonal communication...

While Henry thought he gave them everything; However, Henry intrapersonal communication-- has gotten the best of him. Henry doesn’t seem to be conscious and lack communication competency; for the simple fact he offers monetary as oppose to promotion or change, and he is lacking loyalty. Prime example: He emphasis financial rewards for hard work and monetary incentives for cutting company cost and again hard work (increased sales)…I worked in sales and it is hard work (it’s a numbers game and requires hard work and commitment)... If everyone is expected to work hard…..everyone should be entitled to opportunities for advancements, promotions, as well as pay raises and incentives—just as he did. Theories of Motivation In such a business the manager is responsible for many managerial task; However, as he grows and help the business grow; I would suggest that Henry delegate some of the tasks to the supervisors (giving them a sense of belonging—(promotions—to assistant manager, etc.)); and motivation. As opposed to his intrapersonal feelings and just implementing monetary contributions or incentives (thinking it is sufficient); he might have checked his communication competency. While monetary incentives is a motivating contribution to many employees—as the personal director implied—these particular supervisors was more interested in time with...

...Question: What Is Self-Concept? Answer: Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. This image is formed in a number of ways, but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our lives. SELFCONCEPTan idea of the self constructed from the beliefs one holds about oneself and the responses of others. Intrapersonal communication, or communication within yourself, is an area of study that is fundamental to the field of interpersonal communication. Interpersonal Communication is communication with others, whereas Intrapersonal communication limits itself to communication within the individual. It is communication that takes place within the individual when he or she is communicating with others, or simply, when he or she is alone and thinking to himself or herself. When a person says to himself or herself, “way to go,” he or she is engaging in intrapersonal communication. The practice of Intrapersonal Communication is critical to helping you develop not only your sense of self but also help you identify how to communicate with others. You see, your value of yourself determines how you communicate with others so it is important to assess your self concept. The self-concept is based on what people are told by others and how the sense of self is reflected in the words and actions of important people in one’s life, such as parents, siblings, coworkers, friends and teachers. Self Concept Self concept is how you see yourself and is important...

...individual success; just as growing relationships with others and strong communication skills can in-turn contribute to the same individual success. This success can be achieved at an academic or organizational level, through an individual’s intrapersonal and interpersonal perception of themselves and the world around them. However, without strong intrapersonal dynamics, an individual cannot achieve an equally strong interpersonal perception with their community and the greater world. Strong intrapersonal perception begins with an individual’s self-assessment of what they know, so that they can improve their self-regulated learning skills and be successful (Bercher, 2012). Self-regulated learning is important as it allows an individual to assess and monitor themselves, proving to them their ability or inability to complete a task. This can be achieved through many tools and exercises. Bercher describes the use of a Student Self Assessment Sheet (SASS), which shows how an individual can achieve better learning through cognitive feedback, which usually occurs during the completion of a task. If feedback occurs during the accomplishment of a task, an individual can understand what went wrong and modify their approach to that same task for their next attempt, leading to success. This self-regulation not only enhances one’s intrapersonal perception but it leads to the foundation of creating strong interpersonal communication with others. Strong interpersonal perception is achieved through...

...QUESTION 3 Whether or not communication is a circular process depends on which model of communication best fits the particular communicative act you are discussing. One of the earliest communication models is the Shannon-Weaver model, which is linear; a message is sent through a channel to a recipient, who does not provide any feedback. Obviously, this means that the communication is not circular. An example of this would be most televised broadcasts, like the president's speeches, as the viewer has few opportunities to provide feedback. Later models of communication, however, added a mechanism for recipient feedback. In what is known as the transactional or circular model of communication, the receiver and recipient both send and receive messages, leading to both parties being renamed sender-receivers. This is a circular model of communication. An example of this is most interpersonal, face-to-face communication. You receive feedback from your conversation partner through their body language and verbal responses and so adjust your messages to fit that; your partner does the same. Today, most communication tends to be seen as transactional, meaning that it is circular. sound out each word that you dont understand and read slowly and communicate circularly these skils makes a good reader..

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper In order for a team to communicate and collaborate effectively it is important to know the learning styles and personality spectrum of the individuals. Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, came up with his theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner believes that everyone possesses at least eight intelligences they are the Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Visual-Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical and Naturalistic (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Along with the eight intelligences there are also four personality types; Thinker, Organizer, Giver and Adventurer these help identify the interactions that are most and least comfortable for individuals (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Interpersonal intelligences use feelings and sensitivity in their communication with others. The ability to relate to others and work within a team is a strength possessed by this learner. Talking to others to work out solutions and remaining open minded allows for the Interpersonal to be an effective leader in a group. Intrapersonal Intelligences have self-awareness and independence along with the ability to understand their own behavior and feelings (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Because of their independence the Intrapersonal would be an effective researcher and journal keeper for the group. Electronic communication would be effective with the Intrapersonal. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligences are...

To develop a strategy to reach end goals, respect must be shown to teammates’ opinions, ideas, learning styles. It’s important to allow each member to communicate open and freely without feeling criticized or harassed. Organization is critical in the successful execution and allows for completion of the project in a timely manner. Determining each person’s role and negotiation is also significant to success. Learning styles play important roles in communication. As mentioned in the chapter, “when you understand how you learn, you can make more active and effective decisions.” My specific learning style is Interpersonal. I am a people person and known to be the leader. I am motivational, empathetic to people, organized, and enjoy working with others. In my previous position, I was an administrative assistant and it was in my Global Performance Management Goals to create and maintain a welcoming atmosphere for all co-workers, create and maintain relationships with all diverse groups. My personality and learning styles fit very well with achieving my goal. One of the members in our group possesses the intrapersonal style. He learns best when allowed to reflect upon ideas and perspectives. He is an independent goal setter, likes to share opinions and is confident in them. Although he works great in a group, typically...
