Week 10--Question #1

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that we have no already discussed, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

Dyadic Communication is very interesting to me just because it’s a very personal type of communication. It also allows one to get to know another more intimately by adapting their contributions to their partner’s intellect interests. I think dyadic communication is used mostly in romantic relationships solely because of how strong you intimately interact with another. It is a type of communication that have free minds involved because ideas need to be freely exchanged and need to be well aware of who they are interacting with. They give us security and give us self-esteem because we have control over who we are with dyadic communication. Dyadic communication is interesting and is useful in my interpersonal relationships but not with my business relationships solely because I am not comfortable disclosing who I am to others. I find it amazing as to how strong dyadic communication is and how useful it is when we are in the process of freely speaking about ourselves to others we trust and welcome into our lives.

  1. I guess I view dyadic communication a little more broad. I feel that dyadic communication is between two people, it doesn’t have to be romantic, although it is easier to use a romantic example to understand dyadic communication. I do agree with your statement that this type of communication gives us security and gives us self-esteem because we can control who we are in the dyadic communication. I don’t see dyadic communication as freely speaking. I feel that dyadic communication occurs on a daily basis and that we need to be aware of who we are communication with. I guess we both have a little different interpretation of dyadic communication.
