Summary: People today are very much concerned about being human. Our increasingly automated, complex society has created a growing state of impersonality, and the yearning for closer personal ties is one of the major themes of our times. Communication is the foundation for all our relationships-its relevancy and significance for our lives can hardly be overemphasized. The purposes of this book are twofold: to present valid information on interpersonal communication to the student who possesses no specialized background; and to provide insights for improving our relationships with others. We are not concerned with theory for theory's sake, but rather with the research-based foundations for understanding and potentially improving our communication behaviors. By emphasizing the interactive, ongoing, process nature of interpersonal communication, we hope to acquaint the reader with the choices available for determining appropriate behaviors. To the extent that the data are valid and reliable, individual judgments are necessary for personal applications.
