Answer 1

Answer:

Berne's theory is the answer

Answer 2

Berne's theory suggests that communication involves a set of hidden transactions.

Definition

Eric Berne  stated that verbal communication, especially face-to-face communication, lies at the heart of human social connections and psychoanalysis.

Features of Berne's theory

• His starting premise was that when two individuals met, one of them would talk to the other.
• He dubbed this the Transaction Stimulus. He referred to the other person's reply as the Transaction Response.
• The Agent is the individual who sends the Stimulus. The individual who answers is referred to as the Respondent.
• Transactional Analysis evolved into a way of studying transactions in which 'I do something to you, and you do something back.'

Hence,  face-to-face communication, lies at the heart of human social connections
