    Reciprocal Communication

    Reciprocal communication refers to any communication where at least one person perceives an emotional element. It can be fully, partially, or non-reciprocal based on the degree, timing, and form of responses between individuals. Fully reciprocal communication involves compatible emotional responses from both parties. Partially reciprocal communication has inconsistent responses in degree or timing but a similar emotional message. Non-reciprocal communication contradicts the emotional content with no response or an opposing one. Participants in a study described their experiences accordingly and tended to withdraw or feel negative emotions from non-reciprocal exchanges.

    Reciprocal Communication

    Reciprocal communication (RC) refers to any communication that is


    experienced by at least one of the persons involved as expressing emotional content.
    It is concerned with the syntax (form, timing, and degree) of an interaction only as it
    contributes to the meaning derived from the experience. It is expected that the
    perceived emotional equivalence of interactions will vary depending on the degree,
    timing, and to a lesser extent the form of the communication.
    Reciprocal communication could therefore fall into three categories: fully,
    partially, and nonreciprocal. Fully reciprocal communications would include
    communications in which at least one of the individuals involved experiences the
    emotional content of the sending and receiving signals to be compatible. Interactions
    that involve different forms than the sending signal, but is still desired and perceived
    as expressing similar emotional content, would also be seen as fully reciprocal
    communications. Partially, reciprocal communication would be those in which the
    degree or form of the interaction is present in the allotted time, but not experienced
    as completely emotionally compatible. Non-reciprocal communications would be
    those in which the emotional content of the interaction is seen as contradictory.
    A non-reciprocal communication would most likely be experienced when a
    sending signal was given but there was no receiving response in either form or
    degree within the alotted time, or when the receiving response eliminates the
    possibility of reciprocation in either form or degree. Smiling at a person on the street,
    and that person either showing no response or turning his back could both be seen
    as non-reciprocal communication (Penrod, 2011). Reciprocal communication (RC) is
    suggested, defined, and qualitatively investigated as a way of describing the
    experience of emotional compatibility in communication, with an emphasis on form,
    degree, and timing as fundamental aspects of nonverbal communication. Participants
    of the study described fully reciprocal communication as experiencing a kind of
    emotional equivalence with their partners. Regardless of the level of intention they
    perceived in the communication, they assumed a fundamental connection between a
    person’s emotional state and their nonverbal behavior, for themselves as well as for
    their partners. Their experience of partially reciprocal communication was evident
    when communication was perceived as being intentional; that is, motivated by an
    underlying emotion and either asking or answering an implicit question.
    Like fully reciprocal communication, participants experienced nonverbal
    communication as nonreciprocal both in situations where they felt their partner was
    intentionally trying to communicate and when they felt their partner was
    unintentionally communicating. Generally speaking, participants tended to respond to
    nonreciprocal communication by withdrawing from further communication, and
    reinterpreting previous interactions. In situations where participants felt that a
    nonreciprocal response was inconsistent with the message sent by previous
    nonverbal communication, they expressed feelings of frustration, anger, and
    resignation. It was found that participants would be more confident in interpreting
    interest when the degree of the receiving response exceeds the degree of the
    sending signal; tended to interpret their nonverbal communication contextually.
    Finally, the distinction between form, timing, and degree is not always solid. The
    amount of time a response occurs within can easily become a measure of degree
    when compared with the amount of time the initial signal took place (Penrod, 2011).
