This document discusses different types of dyadic communication including conversation, dialogue, interviews, and provides guidance on conducting effective interviews. It defines dyadic communication as involving 2 to 7 participants exchanging messages, and notes key characteristics of conversations include spontaneity and lack of agenda. Dialogues are described as more purposeful than conversations, with the goal of problem-solving. Effective interviews require preparation by both the interviewer and interviewee to ensure the exchange of relevant information.

participants have a shared history.

to discuss, usually problem solving.

cases where the purpose is obvious, as in interviews
related to jobs, scholarships or loans.

He should be prepared to present such information,
perhaps with visual aids.

friendly. Regardless the purpose, the interviewee should
not be defensive, hostile, or evasive in answering
questions because the interviewer may get an
