What are the functions of college students' interpersonal communication?

College students' interpersonal communication has the following functions:

1. Interpersonal communication is beneficial to the mental health of college students.

Everyone has happiness and sadness. Sharing happiness with friends will make them happier, and sharing sadness with friends will alleviate their pain. The process of talking is to relieve psychological pressure and tension, so that one's body and mind can be relaxed to a certain extent.

2. Interpersonal communication is an important means to realize the all-round development of college students' personality.

Social psychology research confirms that pleasant, extensive and profound interpersonal communication contributes to personality development and health. If a person lacks active communication with others for a long time, and lacks stable and good interpersonal relationships, this person often has obvious personality defects.

3. College students' positive interpersonal communication is conducive to a correct understanding of themselves.

The ancients said: "A gentleman does not look at a mirror, but looks at people, looks at the dry water, looks at his face, and looks at people, so he knows good or bad." The so-called "looking at others" means taking others' attitudes and reflections as an important frame of reference to judge yourself, and examining your attitude towards life, personality state and interpersonal relationship through your own reflection on others, so as to warn and educate yourself.

4. Interpersonal communication can promote the socialization of college students.

Interpersonal communication is the starting point and the only way for individual socialization. Socialization is a process in which individuals learn social knowledge, survival skills and culture, thus obtaining the qualification of social life and starting self-development. Without the cooperation of other individuals, individuals cannot complete this process. Getting information, opportunities and help from interpersonal relationships may help you embark on the road to success.

Sociology defines interpersonal relationship as social relationship established by people in the process of production or life activities, while psychology defines interpersonal relationship as direct psychological connection established by people in communication.
