This is the universal form of communication that
takes place between two individuals. Since it is
person-to-person contact, it includes everyday
exchange that may be formal or informal and can take
place anywhere by means of words, sounds, facial
expression, gestures and postures.
In interpersonal communication there is face-toface interaction between two persons, that is, both
are sending and receiving messages. This is an ideal
and effective communication situation because you
can get immediate feedback. You can clarify and
emphasize many points through your expressions,
gestures, and voices. In interpersonal communication, therefore, it is possible to influence the other
person and persuade him or her to accept your point
of view. Since there is proximity between sender and
receiver, interpersonal communication has emotional
appeal too. It can motivate, encourage, and
coordinate work more effectively than any other form
of communication. Also, in a crisis, through
interpersonal channel, flow of information is
tremendous, e.g. news of violence, famine or disaster.
Interpersonal messages consist of meanings derived
from personal observations and experiences. The
process of translating thoughts into verbal and
nonverbal messages increases the communicator’s
self-concept. In fact, effective interpersonal
communication helps both participants strengthen
relationships through the sharing of meaning and
emotions.
