Interconnections: Interpersonal Communication Foundations and Contexts

Discussing issues related to mediated communications, Bowman’s INTERCONNECTIONS clearly illustrates the relevance of interpersonal communication to students’ everyday lives. It includes hundreds of scenarios to demonstrate how concepts come alive in individual situations and shows students how examples from their favorite TV shows can be analyzed using interpersonal concepts. INTERCONNECTIONS engages students personally in the learning process, using a conversational writing style for presenting research, concepts and skills--at a level and in a tone which is accessible and inclusive. Issues of social diversity are integrated throughout. Boxes on technology, diversity, ethics and self-assessment via both journal activities and research-based questionnaires help students put key interpersonal concepts into practice. In addition, MindTap provides a proven digital learning experience.
