Intmate distance 2. Personal distance 3. Social distance 4. Public distance  An elegant theory o “gracefully, concise, and simple admirably succinct” o What would corman say? o Extended to include nonverbal & verbal communicatons o What does EVT predict? –pg.88  Sof determinism o Links rather than cause & effect o Between interpersonal behavior and atracton, credibility, influence & involvement o May, more likely, can be relatvely  3 Core Concepts o Expectancy  What is predicted, not desired  Cognitve search  Nature+discrepancy  Person + situaton + relatonship  What factors influence our expectatons for what is predicted to occur? P.89 o Violaton valence  Behavior rather than person  Positve or negatve or equivocal  1st interpret meaning of behavior  Then assess valence  Socially recognized  Ambiguous o Communicaton reward valence  Facing ambiguous meaning of acton  Sum of + & - atributes of person + potental to reward or punish  What are these atributes? P. 91  What does punish and reward mean?  So, whats the influence of communicator reward valence in light of an ambiguous/equivocal violaton?  Extending EVT This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :19:44 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH Interacton adapton theory  We are predisposed to adapt to each other  Interacton positons: inital stance toward an interacton  Requirements  Expectatons  Desires Chapter 8—social penetraton theory  Social penetraton theory o The idea that relatonships become more intmate over tme when partners increasingly disclose more and more about themselves. o Explains how relatonal closeness develops o “interpersonal communicaton is the very process of social penetraton” G. Miller o A social exchange theory based on economic model of personal relatonships  Economic analysis of relatonal development  A predicton of self-disclosure o Relatonal outcome  Rewards—costs  Minimax principle o Relatonal satsfacton  CL—comparison level  Benchmarks to gauge satsfacton o Relatonal stability  CLalt—comparison level of alternatve  Not a gauge of satsfacton  Based on gauge of a beter external opton available  Altman & Taylor o Onion metaphor o As a relatonship develops communicaton moves from shallow, non-intmate levels to intmate levels as a functon of both immediate and forecast outcomes  The depth & breadth of self-disclosure o Breadth  The array or variety of topics that we choose to communicate about o Depth  The amount of informaton available on each topic Chapter 9—Uncertainty reducton theory  “focuses on how human communicaton is used to gain knowledge and create understanding” p.125  3 factors o Antcipaton of future interacton o Incentve value o Deviance  Uncertainty reducton theory o To predict & explain  “as the ability of persons…to predict decreases, uncertainty increases” p.126 This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :19:44 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH The atributon theory explains how we draw inferences about people based on observed behavior o 2 types of uncertainty  Behavioral  Cognitve o Berger and calabrese o When people initally meet o Motvated to reduce uncertainty about others  8 axioms: Self-evident truths o 8 key variables  Verbal communicaton  Nonverbal warmth  Informaton seeking  Self-disclosure  Reciprocity  Similarity  Liking  Shared networks o Axioms 1. As verbal communicaton increases, uncertainty decreases 2. As nonverbals increases, uncertainty decreases 3. High uncertainty leads to increased informaton seeking 4. Increased uncertainty causes decrease in intmacy 5. Increased uncertainty produces increase reciprocity 6. Similarites decrease uncertainty 7. Increased uncertainty produces decrease in liking 8. Shared communicaton networks decrease uncertainty  An intercultural shif: from uncertainty to anxiety/uncertainty o anxiety/uncertainty management theory  uncertainty (cognitve) + anxiety (affectve, an emoton)  goal is effectve communicaton & not relatonal closeness or satsfacton  multple causes of anxiety/uncertainty  thresholds  mindfulness Chapter 12—Communicaton privacy management  privacy management theory o theorist Sandra petronio  tension between desire or need for privacy & desire or need for disclosure o boundary metaphor  what does a metaphor do? o Based on noton of communicaton/privacy boundaries & risk assessment o Privacy & Fdisclosure guided by  Rule formaton—based on 5 criteria  Boundary coordinaton This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :19:44 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH Ownership and control #1 o People believe they own and have right to control private info  It belongs to us  We have rights  Medical examples—disabilites  Rules for concealing and revealing #2 o Personal privacy rules  Culture-some cultues very private  Gender-women seem to receive more informaton  Motvaton- atracton and liking  We tell more to people who we like  Context- diagnosis of illness, disaster war, disability  Risk-beneft rato: what is the risk what is the beneft of revealing info  Disclosure creates a confdant/co-owner #3 o Collectve boundary now with other o People feel sense of responsibility o Person who is co-owner may be less protectve  Some aides in nursing homes are not willing co-owners  Coordinatng mutual privacy boundaries #4 o Co-owners need to negotate agreeable privacy rules about telling about  Boundary ownership—who should decide  Shareholder—fully commited to handling as owner wishes  Deliberatve confdant—sek out private informaton  Reluctant confdant—co-owner who did not seek informaton no do they want it  Boundary linkage—who else gets to know  Boundary permeability—info flow  Boundary turbulence #5 o Disrupton of privacy management and relatonal trust  Fuzzy boundaries—when someone else is along do you talk if you are the doctor?  Intentonal breaches—to “save” someone  Mistakes—errors in judgement This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :19:44 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH Powered by TCPDF ()
