Document Summary
In every dyadic relationship you need to communicate in verbally and non-verbally. The gure depicts how communication can get mangled . The person conveying the information has their own intentions which only they are aware of. The sender"s style of encoding could include differences in language, if there is an accent, etc. The senders actions could include differing mannerisms and body language. The style of decoding could be ltered based on the listener"s decoding style. Noise and interference are dependent on the environment. Men are from mars, women are from venus. Men and women interact and communicate differently. Women establish topics early in a conversation, and discuss them in depth. Men show low topical cohesion and cover lots of topics in a shorter period of time it is not the effect of dramatic gender differences, much more of it is due to socialization issues. Men and women may have different expectations about communication based on their preferred style of communication.
