Direct interpersonal communication
involves a direct face-to-face
relationship between the sender and
receiver of a message, who are in an
interdependent relationship. Because
of interpersonal communication’s
immediacy (it is taking place now) and
primacy (it is taking place here), it is
characterized by a strong feedback
component.

Communication
is enhanced when the relationship exists over a long
period of time. Interpersonal communication involves
not only the words used but also the various elements
of nonverbal communication. The purposes of
interpersonal communication are to influence, help and
discover, as well as to share and play together.

Another way of categorizing interpersonal
communication is on the function or setting of the
communication.
Organizational communication deals with communication
within large organizations such as businesses. This is
sometimes considered part of group communication, but
communication scholars have built up a body of knowledge
focused primarily on organizations.

Family communication focuses on communication
patterns within nuclear, extended, and blended
families. Like organizational communication, this too
is sometimes seen as part of the general category of
group communication, but much research has been
focused specifically on communication within a
family relationship.
communication.
Family communication can be enhanced by the long-
standing and close relationships among participants as well
as the likelihood that families have shared heritage, similar
values, and social rituals. Patterns differ in communication
between spouses, between parent and child, among
siblings, and within the wider family context.
Example: Conversation during a holiday meal.

Additionally, scholars identify a category of impersonal communication.
This is a distinction between impersonal and interpersonal communication on the basis of the
quality of the interaction.
Impersonal communication is that which involves

functional short-term exchanges such as might occur
between a shopper and a salesman; the label of
interpersonal is reserved for communication that functions
in deeper and more meaningful relationships.
The process of interpersonal communication includes
several stages over an extended life cycle.
Communication scholar Mark Knapp has outlined one

useful framework for understanding the coming-together
process.
 Note that these stages can be applied to personal
friendships, romantic relationships, business encounters,
and many other types of interaction.

Experimenting is the second
step in interpersonal
communication. In this step,

variety of topics – general and

more personal and more self-
revealing.

(often formally with contracts or

Knapp also outlined a similar
reverse pattern for the unraveling of
interpersonal relationships:
