Impression management refers to usually conscious efforts by people to influence how others think of them. Integration: behaving in ways to make oneself likable to others. Self-promotion: accenting your strong points in order to earn respect. Exemplification: demonstrating exemplary behaviour in order to boost your integrity or character. Intimidation: using physical or emotional threats to get what you want from others. Supplication: acting weak or dependent in order to get favours from others. Self-monitoring: degree to which people attend to and control the impressions they mae on others. High: more concerned about making favourable impressions. Low: more likely to express their true feelings of attitudes. Interpersonal communication is an interactional process in which one person sends a message to another. Each person has a unique history and experience with different types of conversations and interactions. Unique expectations for how the conversation might unfold. Unique understanding about how they interpret other words and intentions within a communication.
