Interpersonal communication is the term that describes the interactions that occur between a dyad or within a small group. Because we encounter these communication interactions most often, it is imperative that we understand the facets involved in order that we may continually become more effective communicators. To accomplish this, we will investigate interpersonal communication as it occurs in an array of communication contexts.
