Communication has many functions and it generates a variety of its types and forms. But, when you start a conversation not in the right style, it is unlikely that you will be able to create a friendly atmosphere between you and the other person.
Communication: the main types, forms and functions
Forms of communication:
- of an intrapersonal nature;
- between a group of people.
A person is given the opportunity to conduct a conversation thanks to both verbal methods and the language of body movements. It is also necessary to separate material communication as a form of relationship. The connection between individuals with the help of common labor is what it represents.
Types of communication:
- Conversation in secular circles. Supposes compliance with specific rules. You are not recommended in this society to voice out loud everything that came to your mind. It is necessary to say only what is accepted. The conversation has an undisclosed nature (that is, the opinions of the participants in the conversation are not able to radically change the style of the conversation).
- Formal. Choosing this type, the person does not strive to learn the features of his partner's character, while using a standard set of words, a range of emotions, movements. Due to this, the real attitude to the conversation is not shown to the interlocutor.
- Communication through manipulation is self-serving. One of the interviewers sets a goal to obtain the necessary information from the interlocutor with the help of preconceived techniques (for example, flattery, false kindness).
- Primitive interrelation. There is no such thing as humanity, but in the modern world it is often possible to see how some people are enrolled in supporters of a primitive type of communication, which is an assessment of the opposite side on two levels: the necessary or unnecessary interlocutor. The first case - they willingly support communication with him, if not - with the help of rude speech, with the use of the physical strength of a partner in conversation can be repulsed.
- Business communication, which, like communication as a whole, has different forms and types. In this case, the interlocutor is treated as an integral personality (age, preferences, etc.). The forms include:
- negotiations;
- conversation;
- speaking before the public;
- meeting.
Communicative functions:
- the development of man as a person;
- confirmation (knowledge of oneself and the interlocutor);
- unification-separation of partners;
- pragmatic (implementation of goals);
- internal organization of the individual (development of thinking).
