Uncertainty reduction theory is based upon the assumption that people use communication to reduce uncertainty about other people. We are motivated to do this in order to be able to predict and explain the other person's behaviors under specific circumstances. We can reduce our uncertainty through passive strategies of awareness and observation, active strategies that involve perception checking or getting information from a third party, or interactive methods where we go directly to the source to reduce our uncertainty.
