I Can T Communication Behavior Analysis

As part of my M3 I will write a report to review and assess my communication and interpersonal skills during each interaction within my P5 and P6. I will discuss factors such as tone of voice and non-verbal communication. I will also highlight my strengths such as my ability to make a service user feel at ease and my weaknesses such as miscommunication due to misunderstandings.

The TV series, which I have chosen, and believe to be one of the best examples of interpersonal communication behavior, is the American television comedy series called The Office. This outrageously hilarious comedy TV series portrays the everyday lives of office employees located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin paper company and is filmed in a documentary type style by a team of film crew members. The plot of this TV series revolves around documenting the lives, interactions, and interpersonal relationships of the manager, Michael Scott, and the employees that he manages, which include Jim Halpert, who is a sales representative and prankster, Pam Beesly, who is a receptionist, and Dwight Schrute, who is a high-ranking salesman devoid of social skills, as well as Stanley Hudson, Kevin Malone, and many other minor characters who play the roles of office workers, working in a variety of positions throughout the office.

To build a good relationship with children, it is important that you encourage them to interact with you. This should be in a relaxed and natural way. Sometimes rather than telling a child what to do, you may ask them what they think and allow them to make suggestions. Listening plays a vital role here and teaches the children how to listen.

How many times a day do you find yourself checking your phone out of habit? For most people this would be too many to count. Although technology might make our lives easier, the negative effects of the Internet seem to outweigh the positive. In Tony Schwartz’s article "Addicted to Distraction" the three main areas of focus are on solitude, conversation and distractions. Technology causes us to separate ourselves from the world around us both mentally and physically.

When people think of addictions, usually, drugs and chemical substances come to mind. A frequent trend observed in today’s age is not being able to go anywhere without one’s digital device and being addicted to that device, especially one’s cell phone. Adopting a cell phone separation anxiety, is a type of behavioral addiction that is seen more and more today. On average, people are spending about three hours on their phones each day. Alter states, “‘Behavioral addictions are really widespread now...risen with the adoption of newer more addictive social networking platforms, tablets and smartphones’” (Dreifus). As new technologies that cater to people’s wants increase, addiction to these technologies will increase as well. People become so attached to their phones that they will perhaps get distracted from their current situation. In the article “Hooked On Our Smartphones”, the author Jane E. Brody talked about how sometimes commuters or drivers put themselves in a dangerous position when they pay more attention to their phone instead of what surrounds them. The almost

Pupil B has learnt oppositional and defiant behaviours towards adults who try and enforce school structures. The effect is that during this behaviour B is not expected to engage. On these occasions, behaviour often results in screaming, throwing furniture or running and hiding. The latter is also learnt behaviour from his background. When upset, B will conceal himself in very small places where he will engage in self-harming.

When I was 16 years old, I spent a summer at a Christian camp as a server. Although I was excited at first, I was nervous because while at the camp, you were not allowed to have your phone. The first couple days were hard, I struggled with the idea that I couldn’t talk to my friends all the time, but by the time the camp was over, I lost my desire to use my phone. Even after I left the camp, I began to use my phone less and less. I was able to put my phone down for hours at a time without having the desire or need to check on it. It wasn’t until college that I started to be on my phone all the time again. The fact that I was once again away from my friends and family created a constant desire to be on my phone to keep tabs on them. When I joined a sorority freshman year, all of our announcements and information about events were posted on facebook which made me redownload facebook and become addicted like I was in middle school. I am constantly checking all forms of social media several times a day because in my mind I am “in the know” and have a firm grasp of what is going on with my life. On Tuesday, November 14th I decided to download the app and have it track my media use for a few days before I did the social media fast. I found that I was on my phone for about 4 hours a day and had about 115 pickups. I wish I could say I was shocked, but because I am constantly checking facebook for sorority updates and talking to my friends via text and snapchat, I am not surprised

Attention is defined as the concentration on a task for activities such as schoolwork (Chayko, 2017). Technology is revolutionizing our attention span both positively and negatively. Chayko (2017) has found that when students use technology in forms of social media, such as Facebook or Instagram, their grade point average and study time does not do so well. An additional negative factor that results from technological overuse is the result of continuous partial attention. This is the notion of giving multiple tasks some attention, but failing to give any tasks our full attention (Chayko, 2017). One may experience this when one is talking to someone and they are on their phone. If the person we are talking to is not solely focused on us, but partially focused on their phones, there will be a disconnect with what was said and what was looked at on their screen. This can lead to very stressful interactions as well as conversations.

The wonderful thing about communication is that it’s a skill that we can improve on. We can address subpar qualities in the way we communicate and we can make a conscious effort to develop and progress. While I reviewed the list there were two competencies that stood out as areas of opportunity. The first was combating the effects of the various types of physical, psychological, and semantic noise that distort messages. In my opinion, I think this is something that many of us could try to improve upon. When you take the various types of “noise” into account it’s easy to see how they can impede one’s ability to effectively communicate. I will look for ways to decrease how noise reduces my ability to effectively communicate by raising my awareness to noise. For example, if I’m speaking to someone on a construction site I need to be aware that the literal noise from the machine can run havoc on our conversation. If I’m speaking to someone who

Making the effort while not at work or in class to not use my phone was the hardest part of this challenge, since I am so used to being on my phone as soon as I am not being easily stimulated by my surroundings. By making the effort to not look at my phone I was more observant, more social and in turn, felt more involved since I didn’t have my head stuck in my

Technology make you obsessed, addicted and unproductive leaving you unable to stay away from it for at least 20 minutes Turn off your smartphone, unplug the TV, and put your phone in a handbag, backpack somewhere it isn’t easy to reach Schedule more activity’s outside, visit friends, workout, find something productive around your

One of the time when I did not communicate well was when I had a fight with my sister. We were talking about who needed to do the dishes when I perceived her attitude as angry and annoyed, so I got confrontational and this led to a heated argument between us. There were many things that went wrong in this conversation. First of all, at that moment I was interpreting my sister’s actions negatively, which might be the reason why I thought she was being cutting and harsh, while she might perceive herself as being neutral. Moreover, my sister’s tone usually sounded like she was upset even though she was not, and I should have noticed that before getting riled up. Secondly, my sister may have felt uncomfortable and annoyed because I sounded demanding

During this activity an effective verbal communication techniques that we used was equal (Beebe et al, 2015, p.158), every members of the health care teams mutually respected and assumed each others to have the right to express ideas and share information, shown by when we discussed the treatment methods for our client, individual represent of the different health care teams got chance to speak at one time without any interruptions.

Based on the Bevel Up video, there are two scenarios featured on the Bevel Up clip. For the first nurse-client pair with the younger guy, let us label them as Nurse-Client A and for the second nurse-client pair with the older guy in a wheelchair, they will be Nurse-Client B. The nursing care situation for both scenarios is taking place in the streets, which means that it is outside of the typical setting inside the clinic or the hospital. To further dissect the interaction that occurred, we will take a closer look at both Nurse-Client pairs.
