...How does intra- and interpersonal perception (understanding yourself and other people) contribute to individual success both at university and later at work? An individual’s awareness and monitoring of themselves can enhance and improve one’s perception of reality, contributing to 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...

Nelson January 1, 2016 Relationship conflicts happen in television, just as they happen in everyday life. As in life, one can see interpersonal conflict in television that could have been resolved in a better way. I noticed interpersonal conflict in a television episode of "The Big Bang Theory" titled "The Empathy Optimization". Kaplan, E., Holland, S., Molaro, S., Lorre, C., & Cohen, R. (Executive producers). (2007-2014). The big bang theory [Television series]. United States: Columbia Broadcasting System. The resolution to the conflict could have been resolved better by using efficient methods of communicating between the actors. Verbal and non-verbal communications were not used to the scripts best advantage. The ability to listen, along with the use of problem solving skills, were not used effectively. We must remember this is a comedy series, involving several characters with different perceptions of what reality is. The conflicts in this particular episode revolves around empathy, and the actions and reactions, involving one of the characters temporary sickness. The sick persons’ empathic friends took into consideration their sick friends perspective, as well as his thoughts and feelings.

...of Interpersonal Relations Jennifer Holzer Chamberlain College of Nursing Nursing 501 Theoretical Basis for Advanced Nursing Practice Spring 2014 Nursing theory is important because it is the foundation and structure for the profession of nursing. There are many different types of theories and they all serve a specific purpose. Theories are important and valuable because they allow the nurse to understand and comprehend their role as a nursing professional. Theories also play a part in helping the nurse deal with patients and other disciplines in nursing and most important the role of a nurse in this profession. Theories explain and help to grasp the understanding of the distinctive relationship between the nurse and other individuals such as the patient and other health care professionals. Nursing is definitely an art and the various nursing theories assist with the practice of nursing. Hildegard Peplau had an excellent insight into how humans interact. She was able to observe and identify how dynamic and unique the nurse patient relationship is. Peplau knew that nursing was more than a task oriented profession. She was able to describe and define how practicing nursing is an art of healing. She acknowledged the human aspect of nursing rather than the concentration of the clinical components such as lab results or diagnoses. Peplau’s theory defines and explains the different phases of the interpersonal process...

I. 71 _________________ Reece (2013) Effective Human Relations: Interpersonal and Organizational Applications, Chapter 3 ‘Understanding Your Communication Style’: 49-74. Chapter 3 is about being self-conscious of your communications style, about being sensitive to the impact of your observable style on others. Communication style unlike personality is acquired.

There is a limited number of styles (Jung’s behaviour styles of – intuitor, thinker, feeler, and sensor). 4. A communication style is a way of thinking and behaving – a preferred way rather than an ability. 5.

...Trident university international | Module 2 Case Assignment | Conflict Management | | Jessica Cupo | 6/11/2012 | | Introduction Conflict occurs regularly within the military organizational structure on the interpersonal, intergroup, inter-organizational, and international levels. A relevant example of interpersonal conflict and resolution recently presented itself between a peer and me in my current role as Awards and Decorations Officer in Charge. A combination of personality, values, communication, and previous interaction bias resulted in the escalation of an interpersonal conflict which required attention in order to regain productivity in the program. As a leader or a team member, a misstep in an interpersonal conflict results in loss of productivity, escalation of bias, and misinterpretation of intentions. Learning from previous conflicts helps to establish de-escalation techniques and facilitate better work-group dynamics. Scenario As the office in charge of a program within my squadron, a conflict recently developed between myself and a peer assigned to my shop for tasking and assigning office duties.

...Interpersonal communication is the technique we use to communicate our ideas, thoughts and feelings to one and other. (Eunson 2012:256) People use visual, written, oral, sense and nonverbal means to communicate. Individuals have communicated with each other for centuries through the medium of letters, telephone, groups with public speaking and one to one conversations. With the introduction of mass media ideas could spread to larger audiences however the means of imparting information required high level skills and equipment not available to the individual. The highly effective tools of the mass media have now become the tools of the individual to use in the digital age to help with interpersonal communication.

...The Role of Communication in Happy Marriages COM 200 Interpersonal Communication Instructor Elissa Engel August 2, 2012 In all the relationships we are a part of, communication plays a major role in determining whether or not the relationships is a success. “Communication is the process by which ideas or information are shared among people” (Sole, 2010). The ability to effectively communicate with others is a skill that must be learned and is critical in both personal and professional relationships. If a person is unable to effectively communicate, miscommunications may occur leading to conflict in the relationship. Miscommunication can be avoided by simply using effective interpersonal communication skills to ensure that the people you are communicating with understand you completely. Communicating is something we all do without putting much thought into it. Although we have all been doing it our entire lives, it doesn’t mean that we are communicating correctly or effectively. We must all be willing to learn new communication skills and improve the skills we have in order to avoid miscommunications. Miscommunications are most likely to happen in relationships with the people closest to you. In my case, this most often occurs with my husband, or my sister. In both of these relationships I am very close to both of them and a lot of times I speak with the assumption that they understand what I mean, even if that’s not exactly what I say. For example, my husband and I recently...
