...In their article, Yang, Brown, and Braun argue that college students uses different ways of electronically communicating with individuals they want to pursue a interpersonal relationship with depending on their goals or concerns for the relationship. They concluded that individuals, more so for females than males, have a common sequence of communication channels. From initial meeting to intimacy, they would first start by contacting the other individual through Facebook because it allows them to interact indirectly. After that, as the relationship progresses, they will move from the public realm of Facebook to IM which is more private and direct. According to Yang, Brown and Braun, the IM step would indicate that the individuals are now open to sharing more about themselves while maintaining a safe distance since it allows the individuals to consider and craft their responses. The indication of an interpersonal relationship would be when the two individuals actually interact with each other through cell phones...

...folds. Glottal sounds does not involve oral articulators, but requires an open position of the oral cavity to make the acoustic energy for the listener. The active articulator is the glottis which stops the air source and the passive articulator is the air. When you make a glottal source you are adducting the vocal folds, or nearly closing them, and pushing air from the lungs creates sound. Only three sounds can be made from this articulation: the two fricatives and one plosive. The glottal plosive isn’t used in General American English; however, it is used in an expression of exasperation in certain dialects in America. The other two fricatives sounds are a voiceless /h/ in “hum” and the voiced glottal fricative /ɦ/ in “ahead”. Many communication disorders are due to the fact that the articulators are absent, deformed, or damaged. This could cause the individual to use the articulators incorrectly and create a different phoneme which could change the meaning for the listener. There are also substitution problems because the articulators are not put in their proper positions. This could happen when a person rounds their lips when they try to make a DAP approximant and the meaning would be substituted for another sound like “bat” instead of “cat” this would confuse the listener. This is the outcome of malfunctioning articulators which perform a vital role in formatting pulmonic consonants. ...

...I believe using more of the therapeutic communication techniques is really going to help me get through to patients during clinical. In the past I have used several of the good and bad communication techniques, but was unaware of the effect they were having on the patient. Now, that I am aware I plan to incorporate more good therapeutic communication into my discussions with patients. I can see my self using accepting, offering self, and giving information without even having to think about it. Accepting is the easiest one, because of course we all already do that when caring on a conversation. Offering self seems to be a second nature for me, I love to talk and connect with my patients, so taking the time to sit down with them even if it...

...Over the semester I learned a variety of things about interpersonal communication that I never once took into consideration in all my 30 years of being alive. After taking this class I have been made aware of the importance of how interpersonal communication in relationships in everyday life such as, student to teacher interaction, workplace settings, friendships, and most importantly the intimate relationship that I share with my girlfriend. Out of all the things that I have learned about this semester the three things that have stuck with me the most are the principles of self-perception, nonverbal communication, and emotional awareness. The importance of self-perception in interpersonal communication is the way you see yourself will translate into the same way other people see you. If you are unsure of yourself or lacking confidence the people you want to have relationships with will see this. The opposite also applies, if you are confident and have present yourself as a competent individual...

...This essay will critically discuss how interprofessional communication can impact on care quality and service user’s safety. Interprofessional communication is important for our learning and professional development. It involves communication in various forms. Wright et al. (2012) suggest that communication is a process that involves a sender, a receiver, a message and a channel. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2015) code for professional standards of practice and behaviour for nurses and midwives stipulates that nurses must communicate with other professionals and service user in professional way that will not have a negative impact on the safety, outcome and experience of the service user. As a result of this, interprofessional...

...Communication Competence Analysis Strong I am sensitive to cultural variation and differences, and I see my own culture’s teachings and those of other cultures without undue bias. I have been a license practical nurse for 29+ years, and have worked with many ethnic groups. I am also a black American and have much compassion for people. It means a lot for my patients, my friends, and my relatives to understand me and my culture. I want to always make that extra effort to understand other cultures, especially in my profession –which I feel would make them feel at ease. Different cultures are interesting to me, and I love listening to people talk in their dialect and/or foreign languages. I also like to get involved in communicating with them, having them tell me what a few words mean in their language so that when I see them, I can say “ola, que passé”. Because communication is inevitable, irreversible, and unrepeatable, I look carefully for hidden meanings, am cautious in communicating messages that I may later wish to withdraw, and am aware that any communication act occurs but once. Again, I refer back to my profession as a nurse where communication is inevitable, can be irreversible, and unrepeatable. I have to communicate with interdisplinary staff, I cannot discuss certain information with the patient or the family, and I have to watch my patient to see if they are in pain, have question about their illness, or there may be questions I need to ask them. When...

...Demonstrative Communication Analysis I think demonstrative communication can be very effective in any situation if it is being used properly. In my twenty plus years of service, eye contact has always been a good way for me to get a feel of my new boss. Their tone of voice, eye contact, and intent concentration pretty much gave me heads up of the kind of person that I had to look forward to working with. If I was to provide feedback and they were busy checking emails, staring out of the window, or looking around the room, this would give me the sense that only what he has to say is important and my thoughts and opinions were irrelevant. Adjusting or staring at your plaques and awards on your wall would also tell me if this person was narcist. I think the one form of demonstrative communication that I disliked the most was when a superior would lean back in his or her chair and put their feet on their desk with their hands behind their head. This pretty much told me that they were letting me know up front that they were in charge and everything goes through them before going to a higher authority. Another example is George W. Bush looking at his watch during the Presidential debate. This clearly sent a message that he either did not want to be there, or he had better things that he could be doing. I am sure all of this could be communicated verbally, but in my own words this is my definition of demonstrative communication. If a leader is in a press conference and...

...COMMUNICATION INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS Goal for the interaction: My goals for the interaction was to create and build a therapeutic relationship with the client. I hoped to use multiple communication techniques such as the use of open ended questions and general leads. Description of the environment: The interaction first took place in the cafeteria of the home during breakfast. We were both seated at a table and there was plenty of background noise as there were multiple people eating and having conversations. Later on the interaction moved to the client’s room because it was quiet and there was almost no background noise. The client sat on the edge of here bed while I sat on a chair beside the bed. Student’s Communication (including non-verbal) Students Thoughts and Feelings Client’s Communication (including non-verbal) Analysis of Interaction “Hi, how are you, my names Justin I’m a nursing student from lakehead is it okay if I talk to you today?” • I was seated next to the client leaning slightly forward and maintaining eye contact to let her know I was interested. At this point within the interaction I was slightly nervous because I had not been introduced to anyone the clients before while the rest of the students had. The client understood my purpose for being there which allowed me to act with more confidence. “Yes you can, it’s good to see more males getting into nursing” • Client turned chair towards me to engage in conversation and ensure eye contact During...

...Part I: Communication Competence Analysis Place a checkmark next to those skills that you feel you need to work on. 1. I’m sensitive to contexts of communication. I recognize that changes in physical, cultural, social– psychological and temporal contexts will alter meaning. 2. I assess my channel options and evaluate whether my message will be more effective if delivered face-to-face, through e-mail, or by some third party, for example. 3. I look for meaning not only in words but also in nonverbal behaviors. 4. I am sensitive to the feedback and feed forward that I give to others and that others give to me. 5. I combat the effects of the various types of physical, psychological, and semantic noise that distort messages. X 6. I listen not only to the more obvious content messages but also to the relational messages that I (and others) send, and I respond to the relational messages of others to increase meaningful interaction. 7. Instead of looking only at the punctuation patterns, I also look at the patterns that others might be using in order to understand better the meanings communicated. 8. Because communication is transactional, I recognize that all elements influence every other element in the communication process and that each person communicating is simultaneously a speaker/listener. 9. Because communication is purposeful, I look carefully at both the speaker’s and the listener’s purposes. X 10. Because communication is inevitable, irreversible...

...Nonviolent communication is a term that I was not familiar with or understood until learning about it in Module 3: Relationships and Communication. Furthermore, practicing this type of communication is significant as it explores a compassionate and empathetic approach in connecting and resolving issues with one another on a deeper level that does not result in violence whether verbal or physical. Personally, I have not been in a physical altercation with anyone that lead to violence. However, I have had verbal disagreements which I try to resolve amicably and with a positive outcome. For this assignment, I will use a workplace conflict that took place this past May with my colleague of seven years, which was a rare incident, as we typically...

...One of the most important parts of interpersonal communication that Petersen could have expressed more was non-verbal communicate. Petersen may have mentioned non-verbal in part-three of the book called “Advanced Listening Techniques & Philosophy. This writer fills that it could have been incorporated into the Talker-Listener Process. John Stewart shared his views on how non-verbal contact co-exists with verbal contact in his book called “Bridges Not Walls: A book about Interpersonal Communication”. The main ideas shared about verbal and non-verbal dimensions of talk was the primarily verbal clues (written words) through mixed cues (talk speed, loudness, pitch) to primarily non-verbal cues (gestures, eye gaze, touch), these elements always occur together (Stewart,2012, 101). Gestures can significantly affect how words are...
