Communication Channels
- Five primary channels of communication: ears, eyes, skin, mouth, and nose.
- Ears: Receive auditory messages, allowing the comprehension of spoken language.
- Eyes: Receive visual messages through sight and interpret non-verbal cues like facial expressions.
- Skin: Receives tactile messages through touch, conveying emotions and connections.
- Mouth: Facilitates verbal communication through speech and vocal expression.
- Nose: Receives olfactory messages, which can influence emotions or memories based on smell.
Non-Verbal Communication
- Non-verbal messages do not rely on words but convey meaning through actions and expressions.
- Example: An arm around someone’s shoulders or a hug expresses sympathy non-verbally.
- Sticking out a tongue after tasting food indicates a negative reaction, such as sourness or bitterness.
Responses
- Listener responses confirm message receipt; their nature depends on interpretation of the message.
- Positive Responses: Includes verbal affirmations ("yes"), non-verbal cues (nodding, smiling), and actions taken in response to the message.
- Negative Responses: May involve lack of response, frowning, or withdrawal, indicating disagreement or disinterest.
- Interpretation of messages is influenced by context, speaker-listener relationship, and cultural background, highlighting the complexity of communication.
