Oral Communication Intrapersonal
Self-Concept is the basis for intrapersonal communication, because it determines how a person
sees him/herself and is oriented toward others. Self-concept (also called self-awareness)
involves three factors:
- Beliefs are fundamental personal orientations toward what is true or false, good or
bad. Beliefs can be either descriptive or prescriptive in nature.
- Values are deeply ingrained orientations and ideals that are generally based on and

Intrapersonal communication may involve different levels of communication activity:
- Internal Discourse
- Solo Vocal Communication
- Solo Written Communication
