Interpersonal Communication helps students see how communication not only affects their relationships but also influences their health, happiness, and quality of life. Author Kory Floyd encourages students to go beyond commonsense notions about communication and helps them see the value of investigating interpersonal processes - both face-to-face and online - in a systematic manner.

Interpersonal Communication meets students where they are, speaking to them in a way that engages them and helping them to use both the content and the cognitive tools to relate theories and concepts to their own experiences, and features:
• Seamless integration of scholarship, theory, and skills
• Emphasis on critical thinking and self-reflection
• Examples with real-world relevance relate content to real life
• Online and electronically mediated communication integrated in every chapter
• Culture, gender and diversity integrated throughout the text
• Enhanced coverage of deceptive communication
