Building a Common Plane of Understanding (CPU) in the Process of Interpersonal Communication

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This study aims to demonstrate the role of a common plane of un-derstanding (CPU) in interpersonal communication. It analyzes the distribution of communicationdimensions (CD) – information (CDI), energy-emotion (CDEE), collaboration and common activity(CDCC), and relation (CDR) – in the process of building CPU. Additionally, it examines the rela-tionship between CPU and effective communication (EC).THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Two theses were formulated: 1. There is a con-nection between the structuring of the communication process and building CPU; 2. There isa connec­ tion between CPU and EC. A systemic, structural, and constructivist approach was ap-plied to analyze these relationships.THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: CPU is a shared platform for understanding, whichencompasses the regulation and coordination of the forms of variability in the communication pro-cess (FVCP), including CD. CPU is indispensable for communication, as it enables the sender (S)and receiver (R) to exchange information and establish meaning. The communication process un-folds across four dimensions: DCI, DCEE, DCCC, and DCR. Each of these dimensions contributesuniquely to the formation of CPU.RESEARCH RESULTS: Proper regulation and coordination of FVCP, including CD, correspondto the development of CPU. The research presented in this article substantiates the interdepend-ence of communication dimensions and CPU. In casual conversation, the dimensions that contrib-ute most significantly to CPU, in order of impact, are DCCC, DCR, DCEE, and DCI.CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH:The influence of CD on CPU suggests that the transmission of information through the infor-mational dimension must be preceded by the appropriate regulation of the other dimensions.Expanding one’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in each CD is a valuable endeavor: itstrengthens not only CPU buildingt but also communication effectiveness. CPU is a vital element of interpersonal communication, as it facilitates mutual understanding and meaningful interactionbetween interlocutors.
