    Dyadic communication serves several important functions: establishing identity, gaining information, building relationships, changing attitudes and behaviors, and fostering understanding between individuals. There are three main forms of dyadic communication: conversation, which is informal; dialogue, which allows for deeper intimacy; and interview, which has a formal purpose and structured question-and-answer format. Effective interpersonal communication involves several key stages: exploration to establish rapport, interaction where topics are substantively discussed, and termination where the discussion is concluded.

    STAGES OF
    INTERPERSONAL
    COMMUNICATION
    INTERPERSONAL
    COMMUNICATION
    -concerning or involving
    relationships and conversations
    between people. Most probably
    two people.
    In every society, humans have
    developed spoken and written language
    as a means of sharing messages and
    meanings. The most common form of
    daily communication is interpersonal—
    that is, vis-a-vis, at the same time and
    in the same place.
    OVERVIEW:
    -Each stage is important and cannot be
    removed from the process.
    - Each stage compliments with each
    other making a wholesome
    communication.
    - The stages are somehow difficult to
    perform.
    - It follows the normal sequence of a
    speech.
    EXPLORATION
    -“Fencing Period”
    - when players try to “feel their way” and
    assess each other’s strengths and weaknesses
    - Aims to establish rapport and break the ice
    - Mutual goals are clarified at this time
    example: (interview) a preview of the areas or
    subtopics of the conversation will be helpful
    -Establishing closure for awhile between both
    persons to ease tension
    - It serves as an introduction.
    INTERACTION
    -substantive part
    - subject matter is explored by the
    participants
    -goals of the encounter are being
    accomplished
    - more information, more credible and
    reliable the speaker is
    -no dull moment or dead air to make a
    smooth flow of the conversation
    - it serves as the body
    TERMINATION
    -transaction is completed and
    terminated
    - major points of discussion may be
    paraphrased for proper interpretation
    - transaction is finished
    - ending point of the conversation
