COM220 Interpersonal Communication Development 1

Activity 2

Self-Disclosures and Perception in Interpersonal Communication

Introduction

This unit focuses on the examination of self-concept. We will explore how we manage our identities in everyday life and how communication with others reflects our own self-concept. Further, we will illustrate how we make sense of the world around us or the process of perception. These skills are important to understand so we do not misinterpret other people’s behaviors. The more we learn about ourselves and our perception making abilities, the better we are able to communicate with others in effective ways.

? Recognize theories of self-disclosure

Using Chpt 2 and Chpt 3 lessons, please apply the concepts of interpersonal communication skills to patient, family, and workplace communication by describing and analyzing a communication encounter in your current workplace in which perception checking may have led to a more positive result. Please relate the communication encounter to your nursing practice with clear examples. Discuss what could have been done differently. Select, demonstrate, and adapt appropriate forms of verbal, nonverbal, and mediated expression that support and enhance the meaning of messages within and across a variety of communication contexts.

(Examples (but not limited to): perception of family cues while caring for a patient, inter-departmental communication, transferring patients…) The communication encounter is your choice as it relates to your workplace or personal experience. Last, be sure to monitor and present yourself to others within and across a variety of communication context by including aspects of the “self” that you noticed came into play in the encounter and cite evidence from the textbook as support for your ideas.

For this assignment, please begin by creating a 4-6 slide PowerPoint Presentation to answer the prompts above. Be sure to turn subtitles on your slideshow.
