Notes:

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 SG
Chapter 5*

Identity:history, roles, characteristics defined by our interactionsmulti- layered (private – self concept: core (121) / public)

How does self concept and identity compare ?

Do you think these are accurate assessments?

How much of your identity depends on the ways others perceive you? (p. 117- 118)*



Jahari Window:arena: open, blind: known to others, facade: hidden, unknown to allSelf disclosure: revealing info to make it known ( norm of reciprocity, p. 126)

How is the Jahari window dynamic? (p. 123)

How does self disclosure operate within the window? (p. 124)

What role does the norm of reciprocity play in self disclosure.*



self disclosure- identity= relationship context (dynamic process) (p. 125)*

dialectic tensions: autonomy vs. connectednessopenness vs. closednessnovelty vs. predictability*

What do these tensions look like in your relationships?

Which is more common to what kind of relationship (familial, intimate, friendly)*



Narrative: we tell about ourselves through stories ( memory/ history based)*

epistemology (how I think about the world...),

ontology (how I came to be...), individual construction, and relational process (127)

narratives, accounts, social reportsorigin- continuity (127-128)

loaded memory (biased) based on coherence and acceptability

labeling: identifying ourselves (Brandy or Mrs. Reincke, Ms. R) (129)

altercasting: language forces identies upon us that we must live up to..(129)

How does the form of narrative here differ from chapter 2?

Give an example of an epistemological narrative and/ or an ontological account?? (127)Relationships influence who we are to ourselves and others...*

Symbolic self: socially based and constructed self that exists primarily for the benefit of others...adapt your definition of yourself to that of societal frames (131)*

Symbolic interaction: how societal forces affect our image of one's self...we derive judgments and observations from our interactions

Attitude reflection: to think about how you appear in the eyes of others (131)

Cultural influence: we develop cultures within our relationships (132)

Performative self: “Doing your identity in front of others and well to “look good”” (135) influenced by social needs, social situation, social frame, and social circumstances.. (136)

front region: professional/ proper, back region: relaxed/ social cues (restaurant ex.) (136)Predicaments challenge the performative self

Teamwork: working together to maintain social face

Accountable self: identity being morally judged by others

Moral accountability: Society as a whole makes judgments about our actions

Do you agree with the statement: “Much of our identity is constantly constructed by our interactions.” Why or why not?? *

Summary selves: (140)*

reflective self: inner self reflected through behavior*

symbolic: self through the interactions we have*

performative: present social situation affect how we enact our identity*

practical: materiality affects identity*

accountable: social context and expectations affect behavior*

improvisational: ideology based behavior (rhetoric)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6*Communication- Relationships: Talk emotion knowledge ways of understanding the worldways of connecting symbols (language- meaning)ways of symbolically connecting to others

Does communication define relationships or do relationships influence communication? (147-149)*



Relationship Provisions:

Belonging and a sense of reliable alliance

Emotional integration and stability

Opportunity for communication about ourselves

Provision for assistance and physical support

Provision for reassurance of our worth and value

What is meant by “provision for assistance and physical support/ worth and value”? (151)



Talk- Relationships:*

Types of talk (distinctions)

Social relationships (replaceable individuals)

Personal relationship (irreplaceable individuals)*

Maintaining relationships – Talk (153-155)

Relational Continuity Constructional units: relationships continue in the absence of the partner

Prospective unit: future sense recognition of absense to happen (goodbye, next time..)Introspective unit: present sense recognition of absense

Retrospective unit: signals an end of absence (kiss, hug, handshake, hello...)

Hypertext: referencing information, relationship building (155)

Crossing boundaries: changing relationship types (friend- sig. Other) (155-156)

Relating: talking on cell phones (156)

We change relationships by talk and subtle communication... (157)

direct talk: explicit discussion about relationship

indirect talk: ambiguous forms of relationship communication (flirting)

Do you agree that we sustain relationships through talk and subtle communication?

What does this mean to you?? (157)

Relationship Stages of Development: (158-159)Theory: based on individual feelings or attitudes, as emotion deepens- relationship progresses.

Intensified feelings (emotions) are translated into behavior and relationship moves on effortlessly.

Measured as an increase in intimacy.

They vary in depth, shyness, strength etc...Everyone is different and respond differently to relationships based on several factors: background, personality, culture..

What does the author and Jesse Delia find problematic about this theory? (158-159)



*Relationship Filtering Model: (RFM) (159-161)We filter people by evaluating their attributes (1.physical appearance, 2.NVC, behavior 3.roles 4. psychological similarity)Duck mentions that “the relationship grows not from the information that you learn about the other person, but from how you “go beyond it” .

The RFM suggests that our goal is ultimately to understand one another.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 SG
Chapter 7Communication- Groups*

Small groupcommon purposeorganization, membership, communicationcommunication varies among groups (formal- casual)*

Types:formal (task oriented, legislative, restricted membership, Congress- Gov't)

advisory (task specific, best outcome focused, restricted membership, Committees- Boards)creative (evaluation/ creation, lacking structure, invited membership, Brainstorm- Project)support (comfort/ advice, sharing, voluntary membership, AA- support groups)networking (relationship build/ sustain, undefined membership, chatroom- Facebook)

Norming: define purpose, roles, procedures*

Performing: demonstrates goal*

Adjourning: end of interactions*



Orientation: getting to know one another*

Conflict: argument about approaching problem*

What are your experiences with these formations?

Which path would you rather take? Why?? (182)*



Group Features: (185- 197)*

Togetherness (interdependence, division of labor)*(cohesiveness, teamwork)*

Expectations (group norms, group sanctions- punishment, culture)*

Leadership (formal power- designated leader, informal power- liking based)*task oriented vs. socioemotional leadership*

Persuasive speech notes

Persuasive Speech
Persuasive speeches are used to influence the audience to alter a behavior, attitude or belief.
Persuasive speeches aim to influence an audience by causing change in the ways they think, feel, act or believe. This influence can also reinforce existing positions.

2.The three pillars of proof:

A. ethos: credibility (trustworthy, committed, and knowledgeable)
a. initial credibility: expertise realized by presence before speech
("You're reputation proceeds you")
b. derived credibility: credibilty gained in addition to initial credibility during speech
( culmination of speech attributes: points, organization, tone, support)
c. terminal credibility: credibility at result of the speech
( combination of initial and derived credibililty- overall opinion of speaker's credibility)

B. pathos: emotional appeal (emotional stories or reasoning for beliefs, attitudes, and/ or actions)

C. logos: logical appeal (rational proof or arument with factual reasoning)
a. inductive reasoning: specific to broad ( make point than give reasoning)
b. deductive reasoning: broad to specific ( lead up to point with reasoning)

Ideal Organization

A. intro: capture attention, thesis statement, establish credibility, and preview speech
B. body: internal summaries of main points, smooth transitions
C. conclusion: summarize main points, strong closing statement, clincher
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when formatting your persuasive speech.
1. Make sure that your outline and therefore your speech is either inductive or deductive. (Yes, you have to turn in your outline prior to giving the speech. Highlight your main persuasive idea.)2. I will be looking for examples of ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical reasoning) in your speech and outline. You will demonstrate these proofs in your content, posture/ appearance, and speaking.
3. Remember that persuading does not necessarily mean changing minds. Persuading can mean enhancing present ideas or perhaps introducing a new way to look at something. Remember: "Breakfast Club as a cultural film".
4. Practice your speech. Try to avoid the "ums" and "likes". Make sure that you capture your audience. Stay within the time limits of 4- 6 min. I will cut you off.
5. Make sure that you have an introduction and a conclusion. Everyone must have a powerpoint. (KEEP IT CLEAN)

Outline: Due 10/21: Speech workday
Persuasive Speeches: 11/2

For your persuasive speech topic, I would like you to compare and contrast between two tangible items. You will be claiming your preference and providing reasoning. For instance, you can use a commercial, product, method, procedure etc. You may choose to keep your topic specific to your area of study or you may want to do your speech on another area such as the media or an area of personal interest.
You must use two visual comparisons. In addition, you must create a powerpoint and conduct research. You must have three academic or reliable sources for this speech and at least one must be from the Helmke library.

One example would be taking two comparative commercials with like products and discussing the more creative, influential, and overall better commercial. For instance, I could compare car insurance ads. Progressive has the woman in the “white” or virtual store while Allstate has a guy that embodies the “vehicle and the driver” that he represents. I could research the marketing and target audiences, policies, and overall success for my speech. My emotional appeal would be the helpful woman vs. the comical man and how the ads make me feel. My credibility would come from my research and my background in media studies. Finally, my logical reasoning would include financial statistics, focus group analysis, and more effective ad.
Now, this is just an example. You will need these parts, but you will need to develop your speech in accordance to you!!
