Something that is really important to me as a communication major is the idea of how and why communication fails at times, why there are misunderstandings and why it is hard to open up to others. Basically, my interest lies within the relational function of communication and it's ability to shape the nature of relationships. I found some authors that focus on self-perception and the idea of how we perceive ourselves influences our relationship with others, non verbal communication as being just as effective as verbal, self disclosure in determining relationship quality and how we can improve our ability to communicate and therefore improve our relationships, and achieving relational satisfaction. The authors are:
Mariann M. Morry
Mie Kito
Laura K. Guerrero
Kory Floyd
Julia T. Wood
Daniel J. Canary
