With sample size of 27, who are 15 students from 1st, 2nd, 3rd year journalism & communication department and 12 students from 1st, 2nd and 3rd year psychology students the in-depth interview was conducted with a total number of 6 individuals.
Among different types of communication, interpersonal communication and intrapersonal communication are the two basic types of communication. Group, organizational and mass communications are the others. People exchange their ideas, believes, opinions or emotions by communicating with each other. During their day to day interaction, people send and receive messages.
Interpersonal communication occurs when people communicate on a one to one basis – usually in an informal, unstructured setting. This kind of communication occurs between two people, though it may include more than two. Intrapersonal communication and interpersonal communication are highly related with another. The way we communicate with ourselves directly affects the way we communicate with each other. Therefore, this study is focused on analyzing students' perceptions on the influence of intrapersonal communication towards their interpersonal communication.
