Introduction to Intrapersonal Communication
In order to successfully communicate with others you must first learn to communicate with yourself. Intrapersonal communication is the most basic level of communication. You must understand who you are & what you think about your self.
What does Intrapersonal Communication mean?
The communication we have with ourselves the self talk that determines how we view the world and how we view ourselves is called Intrapersonal Communication.Intrapersonal is to do with self. The dictionary gives the meaning of Intrapersonal is existing or occurring with in the individual self or mind.
“There are three things extremely hard, steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”
Benjamin Franklin
Communication with Self or Self-Talk
Intrapersonal Communication is concerned with communicating with your own self. Day dreaming, thinking, imagining and problem solving fall under its purview.Various feedback mechanisms of a human body such as hunger, pleasure and pain are also included in Intrapersonal communication.
Thinking over the Future
An example of Intrapersonal communication is thinking over the future.
“A man who does not think for himself does not think at all”
Oscar Wilde
What is included in Intrapersonal Communication?
Self Concept
Is the basis for intrapersonal communication, because it determines how a persona sees him and is oriented toward others. Self-concept also called self-awareness involves three factors:1) Beliefs 2) Values 3) Attitudes
It means that your level of knowledge of about yourself & how you feel about your self. Self-concept or self-awareness is not in born. It develops as we grow through our communication with others and from our environment.
- Real self: Your “core” self; who you really are.
- Perceived self: Who you see yourself to be.
- Ideal self: Who you want to be now or in the future?
- Social self: Who you are when you interact with others, individuals or in Social situations.
- Intellectual self: Who you are as a student and a learner; the part of you that acquires and uses knowledge.
- Emotional self: The part of you that processes feelings.
- Physical self: Who you are physically; including the concept of your own body, gracefulness and coordination, level of attractiveness, physical health and well being.
- Artistic self: The part of you that is creative or artistic.
- Self-Disclosure: Providing information to others that they would not learn if we did not tell them and Reciprocity we expect others to share similar information.
Building a Positive Self-Concept
- Can give you confidence you need to communicate effectively
- Must draw from your strengths
- Must know where you need to improve
- Set goals for change
Self-Disclosure
Process of making internal revelations about oneself that others would be unlikely to know otherwise. While self-disclosure is an individual communication tactic, it invites reciprocity.
The Johari Window
Though we think that we know every thing about ourselves but there is more to the self-concept. This is because we maintain separate private and public selves. These have been illustrated by the social scientist Joseph Luft and Harrington. Now in this slide there are 4 sections OPEN, HIDDEN, BLIND and UNKNOWN.
- The open section represents self-knowledge that you are aware of and are willing to share with others.
- The hidden section represents what you are aware of and are not willing to share
- The blind section represents information which you don’t but other knows.
- The unknown section represents what is unknown both to you and to others.
These sections vary according to our relationship with others. In a close relationship the open portion will be consider but when we communicate with a casual relationship then the hidden area will be the largest area in the Johari window. This model can be used effectively to increase our self-awareness.
Different levels of Communication Activity.
Intrapersonal communication may involve different levels of communication activity:
- Internal Discourse
- Solo Vocal Communication
- Solo Written Communication
Internal Discourse
Involves thinking, concentration and analysis. Psychologists include both daydreaming and nocturnal dreaming in this category. Prayer, contemplation and meditation are also a part of this category.Solo Vocal Communication
Includes speaking aloud to oneself. This may be done to clarify Thinking, to rehearse a message intended for others, or simply to let off steam.Solo Written Communication
Deals with writing not intended for others. Example: An entry in a diary or personal journal“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time
(or the tools) to write. Simple as that”
Stephen King
“Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted”
Jules Renard
“All writing is a process of elimination”
Martha Albrand
