Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Communication

Intrapersonal communication occurs within a single person and involves self-concept, perception, and expectations. Self-concept includes a person's beliefs, values, and attitudes, which influence behavior. Perception looks outward and recognizes sensory information based on one's self-concept. Expectations involve future roles learned from family and society. Intrapersonal communication can occur through internal discourse like thinking, or through solo vocal or written communication like speaking to oneself or writing in a journal. Interpersonal communication is an exchange of information between two or more people and involves both sending and receiving messages.

Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Communication

Intrapersonal Communication
Intrapersonal Communication takes place within a single person, often for the
purpose of clarifying ideas or analyzing a situation. Other times, intrapersonal
communication is undertaken in order to reflect upon or appreciate something.
Three aspects of intrapersonal communication are self-concept, perception and
expectation.
1. Self-concept is the basis for intrapersonal communication, because it
determines how a person sees him/herself and is oriented toward others. Selfconcept (also called self-awareness) involves three factors: beliefs, values and
attitudes.
a. Beliefs are basic personal orientation toward what is true or false, good or
bad.
b. Values are deep-seated orientations and ideals, generally based on and
consistent with beliefs, about right and wrong ideas and actions.
c. Attitudes are learned predisposition toward or against a topic, ideals that
stem from and generally are consistent with values.
Beliefs, values and attitudes all influence behaviour, which can be either
spoken opinion or physical action.
2. Perception: Perception can be defined as our recognition and interpretation
of sensory information. Perception also includes how we respond to the
information. We can think of perception as a process where we take in
sensory information from our environment and use that information in order
to interact with our environment. Whereas self-concept focuses internally,
perception looks outward. Perception of the outside world also is rooted in
beliefs, values and attitudes.
3. Expectations :Expectations are future-oriented messages dealing with longterm roles, sometimes called life scripts. These sometimes are projections of
learned relationships within the family or society.
Levels of Activity in Intrapersonal Communication
Intrapersonal Communication may involve different levels of communication
activity: internal discourse, solo vocal communication, and solo written
communication.
Internal discourse involves thinking, concentration and analysis. Psychologists
include both daydreaming and nocturnal dreaming in this category. Prayer,
contemplation and meditation also are part of this category.
Solo vocal communication includes speaking aloud to oneself. This may be
done to clarify thinking, to rehearse a message intended for others, or simply to
let off steam. Example: Talking to yourself as you complain about your boss.

Solo written communication deals with writing not intended for others.
Example: An entry in a diary or personal journal.
Interpersonal Communication
Interpersonal communication is an exchange of information between two or more
people. It is also an area of study. Communication skills are developed and may
be enhanced or improved with increased knowledge and practice. During
interpersonal communication there is message sending and message receiving.
