Study Notes

Communication Models

  • Communication models help illustrate the communication process.
  • Linear models focus on one-way communication.
  • Transactional models portray two-way communication.
  • Interactional models resemble transactional models but are used for wider communication platforms.

Aristotle’s Model of Communication

  • Focuses on public speaking that aims to persuade.
  • Elements include the Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience, and Effect.
  • Example: A President ordering the Coast Guard to capture poachers.

Berlo’s Model of Communication

  • Focuses on the characteristics of the communicators (source and receiver) and the influence of their attitudes, skills, and knowledge.
  • Includes the social system and culture (sociocultural system).
  • Considers the message's content and the communicator’s treatment and coding of the content.
  • Utilizes the five senses as communication channels: seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting.

Lasswell’s Model of Communication

  • Proposed by Harold Lasswell (1948) as a linear communication model with five questions:
    • Who? (control analysis) - What? (content analysis) - In which channel? (media analysis) - To whom? (audience analysis) - With what effect? (effect analysis)
  • Emphasizes the function of communication in society.
  • Functions of communication include environment surveillance, correlation of components of society, and cultural transmission between generations.
  • Believed communication is crucial for national stability and must be controlled to minimize interfering forces.
  • Example: A family transmitting values through rituals like family dinners, impacting the next generation.

Shannon-Weaver’s Model of Communication

  • Developed by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver (1949) for telecommunication.
  • Elements include the information source, transmitter, receiver, destination, and noise.
  • Noise is anything that interferes with the intended meaning of communication.
  • Types of noise include physical, psychological, physiological, and semantic.

Schramm’s Model of Communication

  • Created by Wilbur Schramm, highlighting the shared field of experience between communicators, essential for effective communication.
  • Introduces the dual roles of communicators as both senders and receivers, actively decoding and interpreting messages.
  • Depicts a circular sequential process of communication, with feedback and interaction between communicators.
