COM220 Interpersonal Communication Development 1 Activity 2 Self-Disclosures and Perception in Interpersonal Communication

Introduction

This unit focuses on the examination of self-concept. We will explore how we manage our identities in everyday life and how communication with others reflects our own self-concept. Further, we will illustrate how we make sense of the world around us or the process of perception. These skills are important to understand so we do not misinterpret other people’s behaviors. The more we learn about ourselves and our perception making abilities, the better we are able to communicate with others in effective ways. Learning Outcomes
