25
good times to use analysis, evaluation, and advising
when someone is stuck and need help getting out of it | any time someone asks for help
26
which type of listening response to use
best to begin with -questioning, paraphrasing, empathy, or support then move to -advice, evaluation, analysis
27
meanings are in...
people, not words
28
words are...
``` symbolic - represent something arbitrary - have no meaning in themselves context bound culturally bound abstract or concrete ```
29
The Semantic Triangle of Meaning
``` top - thought bottom left - symbol (word) -"dog" --we picture what we are familiar with bottom right - referent (thing) bottom line is dotted - arbitrary the thought is the only thing that connects the word to the thing -the exception: onomatopoeia ```
30
Speech Act Theory
language isn't just a way of standing for something, language is also a way of doing actions -promising, threatening, requesting, complementing
31
rules in speech act theory
constitutive rules define what the act will "count as" | regulative rules indicate what we believe the other will or should do next
32
indirect speech acts
doing one action while seeming to do another what is said is different than what is done "would you like some candy" -stated as a question, taken as an offer
33
Sapir/Whort Hypothesis
language influences our perception of reality
34
word barriers
``` bypassing -occurs when a certain word or words can mean different things to different people bafflegab -highly abstract or jargoned language lack of precision allness -using language to make unqualified or often times untrue generalization static evaluation -statement that fails to recognize change -10 year reunion polarization -describing things in extrement -"worst movie ever" biased language -"men's bball vs. girls' bball" ```
35
differences in male/female language use
men speak in sentence fragments men talk about themselves with "I" references female speech is more tentative elaborate, and emotional
36
self-disclosure
revealing something about yourself that someone wouldn't otherwise know unless you told them
37
characteristics of self-disclosure
``` moves in small increments -don't overwhelm other person -allows for trust to be built moves from less personal to more personal is reciprocal involves risk involves trust ```
38
reasons to self-disclose
``` increase self-understanding helps develop relationships helps manage the impressions we send catharsis -the purging of emotions -must be careful not to unfairly put our burdens on another person ```
39
disclosure-liking hypothesis
``` the more we self-disclose, the more they like us exceptions -non-normative self-disclosure --when it breaks the characteristics -negative information ```
40
reasons not to self-disclose (risks)
``` fear of negative judgment fear of abandonment -why people don't share that they are cheating in a relationship concern over loss of control -"I love you" fear of angry attacks ```
41
appropriate discolsure determiners
emotional -are they emotionally ready to hear what I am about to say relevance situational -is this the right TIME, PLACE AND RELATIONSHIP for my self-disclosure
42
social penetration theory
self-disclosure increases as we develop our relationships four dimensions -depth --how personal the information is --how vulnerable the information makes us -breadth --the number of topics you disclose about --some relationships have really narrow breadth -frequency --how often self-disclosure occurs -valence --positive or negative nature of the self-disclosure --if self-disclosure is generally negative, it pushes others away --we don't disclose negative information until we know someone fairly well we can use this to analyze the level of disclosure in our relationships
43
"the Onion"
``` depth and breadth -as we move closer to the center we have depth -each section of the onion represents a different topic three levels of depth -superficial (hobbies, interests) -personal (dreams, personal opinions) -intimate (we seldom reveal) the model ```
44
Johari Window
general model of self-disclosure and feedback (self-awareness) divided in four frames based on how much self-disclosure and feedback we give in NOTES
45
4 selves in Johari Window
``` open self -physical characteristics -name -preferences hidden self -personal thoughts blind self -mannerisms unknown self -abilities -genetic issues ```
46
verbal vs. nonverbal communication
verbal -characterized by the use of language -includes both spoken and written language -content-oriented nonverbal -any behavior that transmits meaning without the use of language -relationally oriented
47
importance of nonverbal communication
believed over verbal communication -harder to control our nonverbal behaviors ever-present in face-to-face interaction nonverbal cues communicate feelings and emotions (93%) -two channels through which we communicate emotion -face - primary emotional channel -voice can enhance or inhibit understanding can express what verbal cues can't or shouldn't more effective than verbal communicaton
48
interpreting nonverbal messages
nonveral messages are often ambiguous - may have different meanings continuous multichanneled -we can only pay attention to 2 or 3 nonverbal messages at a time -nonverbal cues can be both intentional and unintentional -nonverbal interpretation is culturally based
49
improving ability to interpret nonverbal messages
know the difference between observing and interpreting nonverbal messages consider nonverbal cues in context look for clusters of nonverbal cues consider past experiences when interpreting nonverbal cues
50
two primary nonverbal messages
``` intimacy/involvement -affiliation/positivity -use when we like someone or want to draw closer to them dominance -signify status, position, and power some cues for intimacy and dominance are the same -eye contact -close proximity what differentiates the two? -tone of voice -smiling ```
51
nonverbal communication codes
``` facial expressions -exhibit gallery for emotions oculesics - eye behavior proxemics - the study of personal space and intimacy kinesics - the study of human movement and gesture vocalics - the study of the voice olfactics - the study of smell haptics - the study of touch chronemics - the study of time ```
52
facial primacy
idea that we get more nonverbal information from the face than any other channel
53
types of facial expressions
``` presentational -expressing an emotion you're not really feeling -not the genuine artifact representational -expressing an emotion you're feeling -genuine artifact ```
54
functions of the eye
``` cognitive function monitoring function -monitor the behavior of others regulatory function -regulate the flow of conversation expressive function ```
55
uses of personal space
intimate distance - touch to 18 in. -friends, family, romantic partners in private personal distance - 18 in-4 ft -friends, family, romantic partners in public social distance - 4-12 ft -acquaintances, strangers, small group public distance - 12 ft+ -public speaking, presentation the distance between people indicates the closeness of the relationship
56
vocaliccs
voice clarifies the intent of the message
57
olfactics
smell is important in respect to attraction | pheromones
58
haptics
touch typically communicates affection, intimacy | -dominance
59
chronemics
can communicate importance | -who we do and don't spend time with
60
deception
conscious and intentional act that "fosters in another person a belief or understanding which the deceiver considers false" you have to mean to mislead people
61
forms of deception
falsification -making something up that has no truth to it omission -the information given is true, but part of the story is omitted exaggeration -the embellishment of the facts equivocation -not actually answering the question "do you swear to tell the truth (falsification), the whole truth (omission), and nothing but the truth (exaggeration)"
62
reasons for deceptions
``` partner-focused -done when we want to avoid hurting that person self-focused -to protect ourselves relationship-focused -trying to limit relational harm ```
63
nonverbal leakage
when we lie, we experience a cognitive strain as we try to say something plausible but false and also anxiety as a result, our body creates extra energy that we have to release in small, subtle cues
64
cues to look for
pitch increases | rate increases
65
guidelines for recognizing deception
nonverbal cues | usually takes a wide swath of evidence to correctly determine a lie
66
misinterpretation errors - Othello Error - Truth and Deceit Bias
Othello Error -occurs when a suspicious observes discounts cues of truthfulness, given the observer's need to conform his/her observations of suspicions of deception truth and deceit bias -whichever one we want to believe, we believe
