Abstract
The interpersonal communication process consists of encoding and decoding acts concurrently. Various psychological and social factors influence this communication process. There are many important issues to be discuss from social psychological perspectives. Communicative acts convey psychological messages derived from social norms and cultural products. The domain of communicative studies is enlarged from the usage of verbal/nonverbal channels relating to body-parts, to the understanding functional integration of multiple channels. As indirect and limited communication media become popular, people can not obtain sufficient social competence and then show little commitment with others. There is a need to build highly intimate relationships with elaborated studies of communication. The evidences of synchrony tendencies in many nonverbal channels should evoke controversy between the structural approach and the component approach considering the social meaning of communication. Interpersonal communication is not derived from the summation of individual acts, but has an integrated configuration autonomously.
