Interpersonal Communication Example – UGC NET Question

Interpersonal communication typically occurs between two individuals who are mutually aware of each other and can exchange feedback in real time. Academic counselling sessions involve direct eye contact, personalized dialogue and immediate responses tailored to the student’s needs.

Option A:
Option A is an example of public or group communication where one person addresses many listeners with limited individual feedback and little personal relationship.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it is a dyadic, face-to-face interaction in which teacher and student exchange messages personally and adjust to each other’s responses.

Option C:
Option C, a notice on the website, is a mediated one-to-many written message with no immediate feedback from individual students, so it is not interpersonal.

Option D:
Option D is a mass-media style broadcast to many colleges; feedback is indirect and delayed, so it is closer to mass communication than interpersonal communication.
