Communication styles
a culture's preferred ways of communication, given its core assumptions and norms..
Types of communication styles
1. Clear and Direct
Clear and direct communication is the most healthy form of communication and occurs when the message is stated plainly and directly to the appropriate family member. An example of this style of communication is when a father, disappointed about his son failing to complete his chore, states, “Son, I'm disappointed that you forgot to take out the trash today without my having to remind you.”
2. Clear and Indirect
In this second style of communication, the message is clear, but it is not directed to the person for whom it is intended. Using the previous example, the father might say, “It's disappointing when people forget to complete their chores.” In this message the son may not know that his father is referring to him.
3. Masked and Direct
Masked and direct communication occurs when the content of the message is unclear, but directed to the appropriate family member. The father in our example may say something like, “Son, people just don't work as hard as they used to.”
4. Masked and Indirect
Masked and indirect communication occurs when both the message and intended recipient are unclear. In unhealthy family relationships, communication tends to be very masked and indirect. An example of this type of communication might be the father stating, “The youth of today are very lazy.”
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
An interpersonal relationship is an association between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring. This association may be based on inference, love, solidarity, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences. The context can vary From family or kinship relations, friendship,marriage, relations with associates, work, clubs,
