Communication Theories That Are Apart Of Interpersonal...

There are a number of communication theories that are apart of interpersonal communication. Today I will be using the cognitive dissonance theory, social judgement theory, and the organizational theory when convincing three people to attend the sport management alumni tailgate. The three people I am looking to persuade are my uncle Dave, my younger cousin Ryan, and one of my closest friends named Wes. When deciding on who I wanted to persuade I looked for three people who vary in age as my uncle is in his 40’s, my cousin is a sophomore in high school, and my friend Wes is 21, the same age as me. I also wanted to choose three people who I am close with and will trust what I am selling to them.

According to my uncle, he doesn’t like the fact t hat a football game is an all-day event. He mentioned the average cost for a family of four in 2016 to attend a game was $503. This cost includes what the average family of four spends on parking, tickets, food and drinks, souvenirs, and programs. Finally, his main reason for not wanting to attend a football game was that if he was interested in watching a football game he was much more comfortable staying home and watching it in his basement on his flat screen television with the added benefit of being able to watch re-plays. After reviewing his answers, I realized that it sounded like his reasons were based off how he visualized an NFL experience due to his reasons being the cost and because it was an all-day event. I assumed that he was not referring to a college football experience. Based off his responses, I wanted to create reasons that went against what he said that would make it uncomfortable and hard for him to say no. As the experience of dissonance is unpleasant, we are motivated to reduce or eliminate it, and achieve consonance (i.e. agreement) (McLeod 2008). My goal was to make his reasons irrelevant to this event.
