Interpersonal communication involves the exchange of messages between two or more individuals through both verbal and nonverbal means. It can occur through face-to-face interaction or computer-mediated communication. Successful interpersonal communication requires that senders and receivers accurately interpret and understand the messages. There are two main types of interpersonal communication: one-way communication which does not involve feedback, and two-way communication which is a constructive exchange between parties. Established patterns of interaction between individuals can form symmetrical relationships, where both respond in the same way, or complementary relationships, where individuals respond in opposing ways.

OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
Interpersonal Communication is “the type or kind of
communication that happens when the people involved talk and listen in ways that maximize the presence of the personal.”
It includes message sending and message reception
between two or more individuals. This can include all aspects of communication such as listening, persuading, asserting, nonverbal communication, and more. INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
It can involve one on one conversations or
individuals interacting with many people within a society. It helps us understand how and why people behave and communicate in different ways to construct and negotiate a social reality. INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
It can be conducted using both direct and indirect
mediums of communication such as face-to-face interaction, as well as computer-mediated-communication.
Successful interpersonal communication assumes that
both the message senders and the message receivers will interpret and understand the messages being sent on a level of understood meanings and implications. ONE WAY Interpersonal communication can be classified as either one- way or two-way.
One way communication occurs when the sender transmits
information in the form of direction, without any expectation of discussion or feedback.
For example, a manager may stop by an employee's desk to
inform him that a certain project will be due the following day. One-way communication is faster and easier for the sender—because he or she does not have to deal with potential questions or disagreement from the receiver—but tends to be overused in business situations. TWO-WAY Two-way communication involves the sharing of information between two or more parties in a constructive exchange.
For example, a manager may hold a staff meeting in order to
establish the due dates for a number of projects. Engaging in two-way communication indicates that the sender is receptive to feedback and willing to provide a response. Although it is more difficult and time-consuming for the sender than one- way communication, it also ensures a more accurate understanding of the message. PATTERNS OF INTERACTION
Established patterns of interaction are created when
a trend occurs regarding how two people interact with each other.
There are two patterns of particular importance to
the theory which form two kinds of relationships. These relationships are, symmetrical relationships and complementary relationships. COMPLEMENTARY RELATIONSHIPS
These relationships are established when the
pattern of interaction is defined by two people responding to one and other in opposing ways. An example of such a relationship would be when one person is argumentative while the other is quiet. SYMMETRICAL RELATIONSHIPS
These relationships are established when the
pattern of interaction is defined by two people responding to one and other in the same way. This is a common pattern of interaction within power struggles. EXAMPLE Symmetrical relationship is one where both partners share the same roles. Both people work, both do housework and cooking etc, and each person has their chance to make decisions. THANK YOU
