Study Notes
Linear Models of Communication
- Linear models present communication as a one-way process, where a sender transmits a message to a receiver without feedback.
The Shannon-Weaver Communication Model
- Developed by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1948.
- Consists of five key components: sender, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver.
- Introduces the concept of noise, which can hinder message transmission.
Berlo’s S-M-C-R Communication Model
- Developed by David Berlo in 1960.
- S-M-C-R stands for Source, Message, Channel, and Receiver.
- Highlights the importance of the source's communication skills, message clarity, channel choice, and receiver’s understanding.
Interactive Models of Communication
- These models account for feedback between the sender and receiver, emphasizing that communication is a two-way process.
The Osgood-Schramm Communication Model
- Created by Charles Osgood and Wilbur Schramm in 1954.
- Focuses on the cyclical nature of communication, involving encoding and decoding processes.
- Highlights the importance of shared experiences for effective understanding.
The Westley and Maclean Communication Model
- Proposed by Daniel Westley and Malcolm Maclean in 1957.
- Emphasizes the role of mass communication and its impact on public opinion.
- Introduces multiple feedback channels, acknowledging the influence of various communicators.
Transactional Models of Communication
- Transactional models view communication as a simultaneous process where all parties are involved in sending and receiving messages.
Barnlund’s Transactional Communication Model
- Developed by Dean Barnlund in 1970.
- Portrays communication as an ongoing process where all participants share roles simultaneously.
- Recognizes the dynamic nature of context, noise, and feedback in communication.
Dance’s Helical Communication Model
- Introduced by Frank Dance in 1967.
- Represents communication as a helix, illustrating that communication evolves over time through continuous interaction.
- Suggests that past experiences influence present and future communication efforts.
