Intrapersonal communication is a relatively new phenomenon for
communication study and still lacks the grounding of a sound
theoretical base. The first to present a developed theory of this
discipline, this book's goal is to provide graduate students and
professionals with an organized point of departure for their
research.
The theoretical section begins with an intrapersonal communication
theory derived from the sociogenetic views of George Herbert Mead
and L.S. Vygotsky. This theory emphasizes social interaction, the
developmental nature of mind, and the crucial role of speech in
creating a self, a culture, and a mind which then interact in human
intrapersonal communication. This section also provides the reader
with a coherent interdisciplinary knowledge base taken from speech
communication, biology, neurology, cultural psychology,
anthropology, sociology, speech pathology, and linguistics. The
integrated theoretical perspective that results makes the study
compatible with communication scholarship focusing on the social,
cultural, cognitive, or performance aspects of communication
phenomena.
The applications section examines neurophysiological/intrapersonal
communication research methods and studies to date, together with
specific applications of intrapersonal communication theory to
childhood language acquisition, to the establishment of gender
identities, and to intrapersonal competence. The final chapter
presents pedagogical guidance on how we can influence intrapersonal
competence and performance as well as commenting on the current
state of this study and its future prospects. The editor's
interstitial commentary facilitates access by readers wishing to
constuct their own theory.
