Abstract
Connecting and Relating: Why Interpersonal Communication Matters helps readers examine their own one-on-one communicative interactions. This edited and remixed text incorporates the latest communication theory and research to help students navigate everyday interpersonal interactions. Chapters present key theories and concepts in interpersonal communication, including new chapters on information literacy and public speaking. The chapters in this book cover topics typically taught in an undergraduate interpersonal communication course: family interactions, language, listening, nonverbal communication, persuasion, and romantic relationships, while also presenting practical skills like information search and citation and public speaking.
