II. Introductory Concept

INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
The message is made up of your thoughts and feelings. The channel is your brain which processes what you
are thinking and feeling. There is feedback in the sense that as you talk to yourself, you discard certain ideas
and replace them with others. (Hybels and Weaver, 2012, p.16)
Examples:
1. You spent the night thinking and analyzing why a student from the other class talked to you on the way
home and you decided it probably meant nothing.
2. You felt happy while thinking about how your teacher appreciated you for submitting your project before
due date and you reflected on why this was so.

Importance of Intrapersonal Communication

Self-awareness - It allows the person to be aware of every aspect of his/her own personality. Through
introspection, the person becomes aware of the qualities that help shape his personality which in turn makes
him aware of his motivations, aspirations, and expectations from the world. If one's understanding of self is
absolute, it would help in easily communicating his wants and needs to others.
Self-confidence - A self-aware state makes one secure and increases confidence.
Self-management - The fact that one is conscious of the indwelling strengths and shortcomings, it equips him
to manage his daily affairs efficiently using his strengths to the maximum which in turn compensates for his
weaknesses.
Self-motivation - The absolute knowledge of what one wants out of life will enable the person to strive to
achieve those aims and goal while continuously motivating themselves.
Focused - The qualities of self-motivation and self-management will help develop deeper concentration and
direct his focus towards the task at hand.
Independence - Self-awareness allows the person to be independent.
Adaptability - The person is highly adaptable to his surroundings as the knowledge of his own qualities allows
him to confidently and calmly take decisions and change his approach accordingly in response to situational
stimuli.

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
A type of communication between and among people and establishes personal relationship. According to
Solomon and Theiss (2013) state that “the inter part of the word highlights how interpersonal communication
connects people…when you engage in interpersonal communication, you and another person become linked
together…The personal part means that your unique qualities as a person matter during interpersonal
communication…”

Types of Interpersonal Context
1. Dyad Communication – communication that occurs between two people.
Example:
• You offered feedback on the speech performance of your classmate.
• You provided comfort to a friend who was feeling down.
2. Small Group – This refers to communication that involves at least three but not more than twelve people
engaging in a face-to-face interaction to achieve a desired goal. In this type of communication, all participants
can freely share ideas in a loose and open discussion.
Example:
• You are participating in an organizational meeting which aims to address the concerns of your fellow
students.
• You are having a discussion with your group mates on how to finish the assigned tasks.

Dyad Communication
Two types of Dyadic Communication
Formal Dyadic Communication- formal communication can occur in person or on the phone. It can also
happen when a boss gives instructions or dictates information for another to follow or write down. Formal
discussion often occurs when one person is in a position of power.
Example:
Speaker 1: “Happy 21st birthday Jose, I wish you more happiness in life.
Speaker 2 (Jose): Thank you for your greetings!

Informal Dyadic Communication- it includes talking to friends or with family members. When you talk over
video chat, make phone calls, or share memories at the dining room table, you are having dyadic
communication.
Example:
Speaker 1: Besshyy!! Oldie ka na, you’re 21 already. Burger!!!!
Speaker 2: Sureness! Lego!

Small Group Communication

Small Group
✓ It refers to communication that involves at least three but not more than twelve people engaging in a face-
to-face interaction to achieve a desired goal. In this type of communication, all participants can freely share
ideas in a loose and open discussion.
✓ It refers to interactions among three or more people who are connected through a common purpose,
mutual influence, and a shared identity.
Advantages
✓ Group and teams have more information than individuals do
✓ Groups and teams stimulate creativity
✓ Group members remember discussions more so than individuals
✓ Group members are more likely to be satisfied with group decisions
Disadvantages
✓ Group members may pressure others to conform to the majority opinion (groupthink)
✓ An individual group or team member may dominate the discussion
✓ Some group members may rely too much on others to get the job done
✓ Working with others in a group or team takes longer than working alone

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
Public speaking refers to communication that requires you to deliver or send the message before or in front of
a group. It is the process or act of performing a speech to a live audience. It is usually done before a large
audience, like in school, the workplace and even in our personal lives. The benefits of knowing how to
communicate to an audience include sharpening critical thinking and verbal/non-verbal communication skills.
“In public communication, unlike in interpersonal and small group, the channels are more exaggerated. The
voice is louder and the gestures are more expansive because the audience is bigger. The speaker might use
additional visual channels such as slides or a Power Point presentation.”

Example:
a. You deliver a graduation speech to your batch.
b. You participate in a declamation, oratorical, or debate contest watched by a number of people.

A public speaker has three primary goals when delivering a speech: to inform, to convince and to persuade his
audience. Public speaking is commonly understood as formal, face-to-face, speaking of a single person to a
group of listeners. However, due to its evolution, it is viewed as any form of speaking (formally and informally)
between an audience and the speaker. Here are scientifically-proven characteristics of effective public
speakers that you can adopt.
1. Confidence- Be confident when speaking before a crowd. Be prepared with what you are going to say and
convince yourself that you can do it.
2. Passion- You must like and love what you are doing. Believe that what you are doing is what your heart
desires.
3. Be yourself- When you stand before a big crowd, just be yourself. Do not entertain negative thoughts as it
may affect your performance. Bear in mind that you are there for a purpose and you must perform as who you
are, not anybody else.
4. Voice modulation- When speaking before a crowd, modulate your voice. Remember that you are there to
give information, persuade or entertain people. Your speaking voice should be modulated so that everyone
will understand you.
5. Connect with your audience- Make a strong connection with your audience. Look at them in the eye so that
they will understand and feel what you are saying. Make use of non- verbal gestures to attain better
connection with your audience.
6. Paint a picture through story telling-As public speaking can be done formally and informally, you should
present your ideas in a lighter manner. Storytelling way is acceptable as it adds up to your making connection
with your audience. Take note that you have diverse audience, so you must know how to properly handle your
task.

MASS COMMUNICATION
Mass communication is the process of imparting and exchanging information through mass media to large
segments of the population. It is usually understood for relating to various forms of media, as these
technologies are used for the dissemination of information, of which journalism and advertising are a part.
Media are the communication outlets or tools used to store and deliver information or data. The term refers
to components of the mass media communications industry, such as print media, publishing, the news media,
photography, cinema, broadcasting, and advertising. The following are the types of media comprising mass
communication:

1. Broadcast media transmit information electronically via media such as films, radio, recorded music, or
television.
2. Digital media comprises both internet and mobile mass communication.
3. Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing of
information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.
