, Session 1 Introduction: The influence of psychological processes on communication
Notes from lecture 1
Miscommunication
• How well do we know each other?
• How well do we think we understand each other?
• Pollmann & Finkenauer (2009)
○ Married partners know each other fairly well
○ How well they know each other is unrelated to their perceived understanding
○ Those who perceive a lot of understanding are more satisfied with their marriage
• Communication versus miscommunication
• More successful communication – less successful communication
• There is always some miscommunication, perfect understanding is impossible
• Communication can be distorted by many different things
○ Confusion of meaning
○ Biases
○ Situational circumstances
○ Deception
○ Missing common ground
• It is a common misperception that language use has primarily to do with words and what they
mean. It does not. It has primarily to do with people and what they mean. It is essentially
about speakers’ intentions (Clark & Schober, 1982)
• Words make no sense, conversation does: ‘Have you seen Peter?’, ‘There is a railway problem
between Utrecht and Den Bosch’
Sender: egocentrism
• Knowledge, expectations, and one’s own perspective influence the way we perceive and
interpret information
• Failures: creates “Naïve Realism” → you will see the world as I see it
Sender: subtle biases
• People adapt how they convey messages based on many (often unconscious) factors
• People perceive messages differently based on many (often unconscious) factors
• E.g., Kingsbury (1968): giving directions
○ Can you tell me how to get to Jordan-Marsh? → local dialect
○ Can you tell me how to get to Jordan-Marsh? → out-of-town dialect
○ Can you tell me how to get to Jordan-Marsh? → exotic accent
Receiver: construal
• Snyder et al. (1977): telephone experiment
○ 51 men and 51 women participated in a getting-acquainted study
○ Half of the men received a picture of an attractive women and the other half a picture
of a rather unattractive women
○ Do men endorse beauty stereotypes?
○ How do women rate attractiveness?
○ How do external judges rate the conversation?
○ Results: Men though the more attractive women would be more sociable, poised, and
humorous à Objective judges rated the ‘attractive’ women as more sociable, posed,
and humorous à According to the judges women acted warmer, nicer, and with more
self-confidence if the man thought they were attractive à Men who talked to
attractive women were rated to be more sociable, outgoing, and humorous and more
confident and animated in the conversation
, • Loftus & Palmer (1974): perceptions can even be re-construed afterwards
○ Eye-witness reports of car-crash video
○ Questions were manipulated
§ About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?
§ About how fast were the cars going when they collided each other?
§ About how fast were the cars going when they bumped each other?
§ About how fast were the cars going when they hit each other?
§ About how fast were the cars going when they contacted each other?
Miscommunication
• Often due to egocentrism and a bias blind-spot
• When is it more likely that it occurs?
○ Social distance?
○ CMC
• Consequences
○ Negotiation
○ Health Communication
○ Leadership
The consequences
• On feeling understood and feeling well (Lun et al., 2008)
○ Two-week daily diary study on the relationship between feeling understood and life
satisfaction and physical symptoms
○ On days where people feel more understood, they report more life satisfaction and
fewer physical symptoms
○ Feeling more understood on a given day is related to fewer physical symptoms the
next day
Solutions?
• Perspective taking? → assumption about the person
o That’s not what I meant (Edwards et al., 2017)
§ Experiences with misunderstanding in CMC and FtF and its relationships with
perspective taking
§ 98 students reported on a recent misunderstanding (either via CMC or FtF)
§ 69% about misinterpretation of tone, 23% about humor
§ FtF misunderstanding are more serious than CMC misunderstanding
§ Perspective taking is negatively correlated with the frequency of
misunderstanding (self-report)
§ CMC misunderstanding that needs to be resolved are mostly resolved FtF or
with a phone call
o Self-test perspective taking
§ I sometimes find it difficult to see things from the ‘other guy’s’ point of view
(PT) (-)
§ I try to look at everybody’s side of a disagreement before I decide (PT)
§ I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look
from their perspective (PT)
§ If I’m not sure I’m right about something, I don’t waste much time listening
to other people’s arguments (PT) (-)
§ I believe that there are two sides to every question and try to look at them
both (PT)
§ When I’m upset at someone, I usually try to ‘put myself in his shoes’ for a
while (PT)
§ Before criticizing somebody, I try to imagine how I would feel if I were in
their place (PT)
