A Study on Interpersonal Relationships

The main point of Baldwin et al.’s theoretical analysis was to discover how an individual’s sense of self is affected by many components, including personal experiences. The mental association between these two factors was proposed because self-prospection and close relationships are tied to how individuals view themselves. We sometimes see ourselves as who we’re with, and how they treat us translates to how we see ourselves.

The idea of self is a significant part of every individual’s life. The way we visualise ourselves can be altered by feelings of self worth and self esteem and lead to a change or influence in the way we act. The evaluation of one’s attitude towards self can be seen to be improved by the individual believing they are worthy which could lead to a self fulfilling prophecy. The better-than-average effect can depict this theory by assessing individuals on their motivational bias and attributes (Brown, 2011). In this particular study, participants are given a questionnaire regarding ten traits, half of high importance and half of low importance. They were then told to rate these attributes on importance of possession. As predicted, the results show that the

Do our relationships define who we are and the way we act around others? In this essay we will be talking about the fears of rejection and how sometimes relationships help define who we are in reality. Our relationships define who we are because they describe what kind of person we are and how we act.

The idea that will be focused on throughout this paper is; what is Interpersonal communication? The idea seems quite simple from the outside in, but if you were to take a deeper look at the subject you might find it to be a rather complex. To start lets simplify things a little bit. We can begin by thinking about just how people that have become acquainted with one another, and communicate in a romantic relationship. This idea can be broken up into five stages, but we will be looking at only the first two. The first stage would be the Initiating Stage, “This stages is about catching another’s attention…” (Jeanne Flora, 2013, 111) This stage focuses on getting to know

Interpersonal relationships are specific relationships that form between individuals that share a connection or bond and these relationships can be short lived or can last a lifetime (Mack, 2017). A lot of interpersonal relationships begin and develop in the work place between coworkers and colleagues who work side by side and interact with one another daily. These interactions can be both positive or negative and these interactions are the building blocks of interpersonal relationships. With most full-time employees working upwards of forty hours a week it is completely natural for these employees to build bonds and relationships with each other given the amount of time spent together. Interpersonal

Communication is the process of gathering meaning from the world around us and using verbal and non-verbal messages to share this meaning with others. (Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond, 2005) More specifically, interpersonal communication can be defined as; “a distinctive, transactual form of human communication involving mutual influence, usually for the purpose of managing relation ships.” (Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond, 2005, p. 6) Interpersonal communication is extremely complex and encompasses many different themes and issues that affect many aspects of our daily lives. These

A theoretical framework is a group of concepts with their definitions and existing theory that provides guidance to a research project by forming a valuable part of any nursing or scientific research (Nieswiadomy, 2012). There are many methods that could be applied as the theoretical framework for domestic violence (DV) research study. Most social sciences possibly will use the psychodynamic approach or the behavioral-cognitive approach as their theoretical framework, but a nursing theory will be applied in this study. The use of a theoretical framework is dependent on the theory that is relevant to the study.

After reading chapters 1 and 2 from our class textbook, I have more knowledge now then before I started reading yesterday morning. Like I mentioned in the experience assignment, I am a (sports) communications major. Having great interpersonal skills is going to be the bread and butter to whatever job I have in the future. Before I started reading chapter 1, I sat and thought about what (in my opinion) is the most important interpersonal skill. With the type of job I hope to have, both verbal and non-verbal communication seem to be at the top of my list.

This theory help understand interpersonal factors such as knowledge, attributed, beliefs, motivation, self-concept and self-efficacy.

Imagine you are in New York City on your way to a meeting for work. You stop and feel your pocket for the piece of paper that contains the actual address and directions in your pocket, but it is not there. You must have left it in your apartment but there is no time to go back. You remember the name of the restaurant but have no idea where it is. You realize that you are lost and need help finding where to go. You look over at the crosswalk and a woman your age is walking across the street. You have two options: Either take out your phone and search on google maps for directions, or walk over to the women who is crossing the street and ask her. You decide to ask the girl for directions and as it turns out she is headed there too on her lunch

I think with self-concept goes through the interpersonal relationships we have through the years and can go through changes as we get older. I think you can be define by other and what others say define you or we start making changes of self-concept through your interpersonal communications. Having a positive self-concept will likely help in a successful relationship. If others say negative things about you and you begin to believe these things it will likely affect your relationship. This could lead to a bad self-concept and letting this affect you in a negative way it could have negative effects on your current interpersonal

It is through this article that I was presented—the structural components of one’s self-concept are assumed to have unique anticipated for emotional adjustment that is separate from the sway of content components, so the knowledge and evaluative properties of self-concept (Morloes, Dijk & Dijk). Thus, regardless of whether one has the tangible data to prove such, self-concept is believed to impact one’s emotional adjustment (Morloes, Dijk

I always strive to treat others with respect and kindness. The interpersonal strategies I use tend to be successful however, they tend to lead other into believing that they can take advantage of my kindness. They are helpful in regards to helping me maintain and build relationships with family, friends, classmates, professors, and co-workers.

Since the start of this class, I have been reminded again and again that the concepts we are learning can be applied to everyday life. For instance, when we talked about non-verbal communication, I realized that it is impossible to not communicate. There are many activities, other than the use of language, that allow us to draw meaning from something we observe. When my mother widens her eyes at me without stating a word, I understand she is telling me to think twice about the action I’m about to take. It has been great to be able to assign concepts and vocabulary to interpersonal relationships and communication activity that I have been experiencing. Now let me introduce you to my friend Izzy and her boyfriend Ken as I analyze the

On the other hand if you see yourself as an individual who can communicate without a problem and you see that you can keep others interested in a given conversations, your reaction is more positive. Through this looking- glass self we develop a “self” concept. Depending on the observations we make concerning the reactions of others we develop feelings and ideas about ourselves. The reflection we see in the mirror is either negative or positive depending on the feedback we get back from those around us. Misjudgments of the reactions of others become part of our “self” concept also the misinterpretations of how others think of us.
