Interpersonal Communication Divison
The Interpersonal Communication Division is an NCA group that publishes research in an attempt to advance the field of interpersonal communication and bring more awareness to it so that more communication researchers interested in the field can conduct research as well, and hopefully produce new theories and ideas. Interpersonal Communication is an area of specialization within the communication field that examines and analyzes how two people communicate with one another in the context of their specified relationship. Social Penetration Theory suggests that through these relationships interpersonal communication grows and matures as the two individuals spend more time and create new experiences with one another. Given that interpersonal communication is extremely context heavy, it is difficult to theorize because of the different variables i.e, culture, communication platform preference, sex/gender, age etc. that influence interpersonal relationships. However, this has not prevented groups like the interpersonal communication division from conducting research to better understand interpersonal communication and its various influences, and publishing their findings so that lay audiences can become more knowledgeable about the subject as well.
