Every interaction has a content and a relationship dimension.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Interpreting the statement requires pulling apart what is meant by 'interaction' in communication theory. 
Option 1: True. The idea here is that any communicative act conveys two levels simultaneously: the content dimension (the actual information or message being communicated) and the relationship dimension (what the message says about the relationship between the participants, such as power, intimacy, or deference). This concept is often attributed to theories of interpersonal communication, where every exchange carries both the literal content and the relational context. 
Option 2: False. This would claim that interactions only carry content or only convey the information, ignoring how tone, framing, and the way something is said shape the relationship between the parties. In practice, researchers and theorists argue that messages always embed relational cues—how the message should be interpreted in light of the presenter–receiver dynamic—not just the raw content. 
By weighing these ideas, the statement that every interaction has both a content and a relationship dimension aligns with the foundational view in many communication frameworks, making the 'True' option the accurate choice here.
