Explain how the five Communication Principles for a Lifetime can help you enhance your friendships.
What will be an ideal response?
(1) Be aware of your own communication with yourself and others. Knowing yourself is the first step if you're trying to make new friends. (2) Effectively use and interpret verbal messages. Verbal communication tends to deepen and become more frequent as friendships grow. (3) Effectively use and interpret nonverbal messages. We also use nonverbal immediacy cues to establish friendships-behaviors that reveal our liking of other people, such as leaning forward, moving closer, making eye contact, smiling, and nodding are all effective cues when establishing friendships. (4) Listen and respond thoughtfully to others. This skill develops a friendship as most of us don't stay friends with people who don't seem to listen to us. (5) Appropriately adapt messages to others. We communicate differently with different people. Having a wide range of friends taps into different aspects of your personality, which, in turn, helps you develop your skills of adaptation.
