Document Summary

Interpersonal and family comm study more because more class periods on them. In this kind of culture, meanings are in the language and are more fully explained: Disclosure (someone tells you explicitly or surface level information) Violation (did something to violate expectations) (monochromic/ polychromic time) Resolution: during this stage, a person may experience anxiety and hostility as they see the realities of life in an unfamiliar environment more clearly. (be familiar with all 4 stages) Interpersonal: you and your friend work at the same store. Since your friend has been working longer they receive a promotion and are now your manager. Referent power (look up to the person, revere) Expert power (very knowledgeable in a particular subject; going to a mechanic) Self-disclosure (only one persons discloses information): social penetration theory. Reciprocation (i disclose age and other person discloses the same information) This theory suggests that through self-disclosure we can increase both depth and breadth of a relationship.
