Feeling and Speaking: Affective Influences on Communication Strategies
and Language Use
Interpersonal communication is imbued with affect. Every social
encounter can influence our affective state, and how we feel in turn
plays an important role in determining the way we communicate, and how
we use language in particular. Surprisingly, social and cognitive
psychologists have remained uninterested in the investigation of the
role that affective states play in interpersonal communication until
quite recently. This talk will summarise a series of our recent
experiments exploring mood effects on communication strategies,
including informational effects (when affect influences the content and
valence of communication), and processing effects (when affect
influences the way communication is processed). The experiments will
look at affective influences on verbal strategies involving request
formulation, negotiation, persuasive communication, performance
feedback, self-disclosure, as well as the interpretation of a variety of
verbal messages. The results will be discussed in terms of recent
theories linking affect to social cognition, and the implications of the
findings for everyday social communication and for strategic
interpersonal behaviour will be considered.
We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
