COMMUNICATION SETTINGS

2. Communication Settings
Communication can take place in the following settings:
• Intrapersonal Communication
• Interpersonal Communication
• Machine-Assisted Interpersonal Communication
• Mass Communication

3. Intrapersonal communication
It take place within an individual; we may
also say it is self-talk.
It is crucial because it provides a person with
an opportunity to assess self or a situation,
before acting on it, ultimately affecting the
person behavior.
Intrapersonal Communication is
communication that occurs in your own
mind. It is the basis of your feelings, biases,
prejudices, and beliefs.
Examples are when you make any kind
of decision – what to eat or wear.
When you think about something –
what you want to do on the weekend or
when you think about another person.

4. Interpersonal communication
It takes place whenever two or more people interact & exchange messages or
ideas.
This is also one of the most common forms of communication in our daily lives.
Interpersonal communication may further categories into assertive, nonassertive
& aggressive communication.
Interpersonal communication is the communication between two people but
can involve more in informal conversations.
Examples are when you are talking to your friends. A teacher and student
discussing an assignment. A patient and a doctor discussing a treatment. A
manager and a potential employee during an interview.

5. Machine-Assisted Interpersonal
 Communication Machine-
assisted interpersonal
communication (or
technology-assisted
communication ) involves
one or more
people communicating by
means of a mechanical device
or devices with one or more
receivers.

6. • Mass communication is the electronic
or print transmission of messages to the
general public. Outlets called mass
media include things like radio,
television, film, and printed materials
designed to reach large audiences.
– A television commercial. A
magazine article. Hearing a
song on the radio. Books,
Newspapers, Billboards.
The key is that you are
reaching a large amount of
people without it being face
to face. Feedback is
generally delayed with mass
communication.
