Uncertainty Reduction Theory
Charles Berger
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION: RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Theory Overview 10th Edition
When people meet, their primary concern is to reduce uncertainty about each other and their relationship. As verbal output, nonverbal warmth, self-disclosure, similarity, and shared communication networks increase, uncertainty decreases—and vice versa. Information seeking and reciprocity are positively correlated with uncertainty. (Socio-psychological tradition)
