Study Notes

Communication Models

  • Linear Model: One-way communication from sender to receiver without feedback.
  • Interactive Model: Two-way communication with feedback loops, dynamic interaction between sender and receiver.
  • Transactional Model: Ongoing, simultaneous communication where both parties are senders and receivers.
  • Shannon-Weaver Model: Highlights noise and emphasizes encoding/decoding in message transmission.
  • Berlo's S-M-C-R Model: Involves source, message, channel, receiver, emphasizes encoding and decoding, focuses on context and communication skills.
  • Schramm's Model: Interactive model highlighting shared meaning, feedback loops, and communication as a reciprocal process.
  • Sender initiates communication, encodes a message (verbal, non-verbal, written).
  • Receiver decodes, interpreting the sender's meaning.
  • Message: Information conveyed, can be words, text, images, gestures.
  • Encoding: Sender translates thoughts into understandable form.
  • Decoding: Receiver interprets encoded message.
  • Channel: Medium of transmission (face-to-face, phone, email, text).
  • Feedback: Receiver's response indicating understanding, helps sender adjust communication.
  • Noise: Interference affecting message clarity (physical, semantic, psychological).
  • Context: Environmental, social, cultural factors influencing communication.
  • Models vary in perspective, but share elements.
  • Dynamic communication evolves with interaction.

How Communication Works

  • Initiation: Sender has a message to convey.
  • Encoding: Sender puts message into transmittable form.
  • Transmission: Message sent via chosen channel.
  • Reception: Receiver gets and decodes message.
  • Feedback: Receiver responds, completing communication loop.
  • Noise: Distractions or misinterpretations affecting clarity.
  • Context: Social, cultural and environmental factors.

Non-Verbal Communication

  • Conveys messages without words (body language, expressions, posture).

Technology-Mediated Communication

  • Uses technology to transmit messages (emails, texts, video calls, social media).
