Unconscious communication is a term used to describe unintentional forms of communication that often occur on an unconscious level. That is to say, unconscious communication is always unintentional, and people who transmit communication in this way are often unaware that they are doing so. Unconscious communication can be interpersonal or intrapersonal. It can also be verbal or non-verbal.
Intrapersonal unconscious communication occurs between a person and his subconscious. Examples of this form of communication include dreaming, hypnosis, and communication that occurs in a person’s mind during the cognition process. For example, a person may hear a song that makes them feel happy. That person doesn’t remember ever hearing the song before. Unknown to him or her, the song was a lullaby that person’s mother sang to him as a child. Even if he or she made no conscious effort in that direction, the song had been stored in cognitive long-term memory only to be retrieved and associated with happier moments subconsciously. A person under the effects of hypnosis can also have intrapersonal communication with his subconscious.
Unconscious interpersonal communication is more diverse than intrapersonal communication. This type occurs between two or more people. A person can convey unconscious communication verbally through things like inflections in the voice, stuttering, vocal cadence, pitch, and unattended speech. For example, a person who is normally articulate and articulate may unconsciously reveal the fact that she is lying by stammering or unknowingly changing the cadence of her tone of voice. This kind of unconscious homage can often say more than the person actually intended to convey. It can affect interpersonal relationships because people who perceive such a subtle unconscious homage may or may not be happy with the message it is sending.
Communication involves not only the verbal process but also the non-verbal process, as people often study words and body language to decipher what a person is actually trying to say or hide. Unconscious nonverbal communication includes gestures such as folding arms defensively, stepping slightly away from people as an unconscious means of creating distance, and impatient tapping of fingers. Another example of unconscious interpersonal communication is humming for joy. If a person is happy, they may start communicating signs of that happiness, unconsciously. The person may not be aware of such unconscious communication, which can include things like smiling constantly and generally showing more exuberance than before.
