The Odd Science Teacher: Introduction to Intrapersonal Communication
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-7507-9.ch001
Abstract
This chapter introduces the concept and study of intrapersonal communication. The author defines intrapersonal communication (or self-communication/“SC”) and its relationship with interpersonal communication and social-science writ large. He also introduces the two academic (sub-)disciplines/topics—i.e., autoethnography and cognitive-science—that the book utilizes to explicate SC. The chapter also presents the research questions of the book's study, as well as methodological framework with which the author studies SC—including two sample-sets of each of the two main data-types to be utilized, i.e. audio-recorded voice-notes and their attendant transcripts, as well as cognitive-science articles. Thereafter, the author previews the book's research presentation and analysis frameworks.
