I. Introduction: Have you looked at the Big Bang Theory? Have you noticed how awesome they are? Several shows could have been chosen to cover this theory. But I think the Big Bang theory has some really good examples. They have some pretty interesting interactions with each other. They talk in scientific terms and sometimes have to downplay things for Penny. But today, let's talk about a scene between Sheldon and Penny and how it relates to the theory of adaptation through interaction. Throughout this article, I will give a summary of the theory, a brief summary, and the implications of the scene.II. Summary of Interaction Adaptation Theory: The book's definition is that it is a theory that suggests that individuals simultaneously adapt their communication behaviors to the communication behavior of others. This means that when one person says something, the other person tries to understand the message by adapting to their communication style. This is probably the most common thing in human interactions. . “Broadly defined as the modification of a person's behavior to accommodate their communication partner(s), interpersonal adaptation has been described as accommodation (Gallois, Ogay, & Giles, 2005; Giles, Coupland, & Coupland , 1991), mimicry (Chartrand and Bargh, 1999; Scheflen, 1964), reciprocity (Burgoon, Stern and Dillman, 1995; Burgoon and White, 1997), synchronization (Bernieri, Reznick and Rosenthal, 1988; Condon and Ogston , 1966) or style correspondence (Niederhoffer and Pennebaker). , 2002; Scissors, Gill, Geraghty and Gergle, 2009). » (CL Toma Pg.156) This theory is used to understand the adaptation process. This theory can be used to predict whether the listener understands the speaker. The IAT says that everyone enters into an interaction with demands, expectations and desires. Requirements refer to needs during the interaction, such as speaking louder or closer to the speaker. Expectations mean what to expect based on past experience or general communication, etc. And desires are the preferences and goals of the interaction. These elements combine to form the speaker's interaction stance. “This determines that the recipient’s behavior will be reciprocated or compensated.” (CL Toma 161) III. Synopsis: Characters in the scene - Sheldon and PennyIdea - Penny adapts Sheldon's problem with her personal experience. The clip is from the hit television series The Big Bang Theory. In this scene, Sheldon and Penny are having a conversation. Sheldon is sad about string theory and Penny listens. Penny then tells him to move out, then she compares this to her own personal experience. I will focus on adaptation theory.
