Language and Communication [iii]: How Effective is 'Your' Language?

 How Effective is ‘Your’ Language? In my previous blog posts we discussed the relation between language and communication. We also saw that numerous factors (both inherent and learned) affect interpersonal communication and the ‘generation of meaning’. In this post, we will briefly discuss another type of ‘language’ that works independently of the one(s) used by the interactants; and, has a significant impact on the process of communication as well as its cognitive, social and behavioral…See More

Is it Possible to Be an Effective Communicator?

 Is it Possible?Building on the discussions in my previous blog posts, I would like to begin this month by reiterating that communication is much more than a mere exchange of information leading to generation of meaning. Anyone who desires to be an effective communicator needs to be aware of the diverse variables that affect communication effectiveness. Then, when one is aware, and has devised their own individual strategies and techniques to effectively address the impact of these variables,…See More

Impact of Gender on Language and Interpersonal Communication between the Sexes

Until recently, it was believed that men and women actually differ in their language abilities and garrulousness. For example, in 1997, Dr. Phil McGraw, a well-known American psychologist, asserted on the popular TV programme Larry King Live, on CNN, that men use about 1500 words a day while women use about 5000.[1] However, James Pennebaker of the University of Texas and Matthias Mehl of the University of Arizona published a study in 'Science', involving 400 students. They…See More

The Relationship between Language and Communication [ii]

The Mathematical Theory of Communication(Shannon and Weaver)Continuing the discussion on the relationship between language and communication initiated in my earlier blog post, we will now discuss another interesting model of communication, which unlike Semiology (which was discussed in the previous blog) deals principally with the message source, the channel, the message receiver and the element of noise. According to Shannon, American mathematician and electrical engineer, there are two ways…See More

Can We Train Employee Attitudes?

 Understanding attitudesBefore attempting to change attitudes trainers/managers need to acknowledge that there is no such thing as 'a person with negative attitude', as we generally hear. An attitude is an evaluative statement (positive, negative, or neutral) formed as a response to a person, a  group, an object, an event, a concept, or a perceived situation, based on experience (as well as a host of other internal and external factors) leading to a corresponding predisposition to behavior .…See More

Communication and Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling experienced by individuals when two conflicting ideas (or beliefs) are held simultaneously. Dissonance is experienced not only when two opposing beliefs coexist, but also when one's behavior contradicts one's beliefs. For example, when someone who believes that lying is wrong tells a lie, then, they are likely to experience cognitive dissonance; because, their belief does not accord with their behaviour.  Cognitive dissonance poses a challenge to…See More
