About this title

Synopsis

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed. – Carl Jung

Your Interpersonal Communication: Nature/Nurture Intersections helps students better understand this “chemistry” by showing how an individual’s personality influences social style and interaction.

Your Interpersonal Communication provides students with the skills and knowledge they need to discover and understand their own personal needs to connect and interact with other people, and an appreciation for the uniqueness of other people’s communication personalities.

Featuring streamlined chapters, the NEW Second Edition of Your Interpersonal Communication includes access to an accompanying website with embedded learning outcomes, interactive personality assessments, practice test items, answer keys, and many more pedagogical features.

Your Interpersonal Communication by Timothy P. Mottet, Sally Vogl-Bauer, and Marian L. Houser offers features to help students discover their individual interpersonal communication styles:

• Nature/Nurture Intersections of Interpersonal Communication help students understand why they act the way they act and say the things they say so they can improve their communication habits.
• Assess Your Communication Personality vignettes encourage students to study themselves and their communication personalities and What Can I Do Now? boxes offer follow-up guidance after completing the assessments.
• Gender/Sex, Culture/Diversity, Technology, and Personality topics are threaded throughout every chapter of the book - easily identified by the topic icons.
• Ethics in Interpersonal Communication boxes present contemporary interpersonal communication situations with “questionable” ethics. The ethical questions that accompany each scenario will help students think about how their communication choices affect their relationships.
