    Study Notes

    Shannon-Weaver Model

    • Developed by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1949.
    • Depicts communication as a linear process with five main components:
      • Source (producer of message)
      • Transmitter (encoder of message into signals)
      • Channel (route for signals)
      • Receiver (decoder of the message)
      • Destination (final recipient)
    • Known as the mother of all communication models.
    • Lacks feedback mechanism, limiting the sender’s awareness of message understanding by the receiver.

    Lasswell’s Communication Model

    • Created by Harold D. Lasswell in 1948.
    • Described communication in a linear fashion with five key questions:
      • WHO (Sender)
      • SAYS WHAT (Message)
      • IN WHICH CHANNEL (Medium)
      • TO WHOM (Receiver)
      • WITH WHAT EFFECT (Feedback)
    • Recognized as one of the most influential communication models.

    Aristotle’s Model of Communication

    • Earliest linear communication model, developed before 300 BC.
    • Consists of four elements:
      • Speaker (Sender)
      • Speech (Message)
      • Audience (Receiver)
      • Occasion (Context)

    Berlo’s SMCR Model

    • Proposed by David Berlo in 1960, based on the Shannon-Weaver model.
    • Focuses on four components:
      • Source (Communication Skills, Knowledge)
      • Message (Elements, Structure, Content, Treatment, Code)
      • Channel (Various means of communication)
      • Receiver (Communication Skills, Perception)
    • Highlights the importance of encoding and decoding for effective communication.

    Transactional Model

    • Involves simultaneous exchange of messages between sender and receiver.
    • Both parties act as communicators, with roles constantly reversing.
    • Illustrated as a more dynamic approach to communication, integrating real-time interaction.

    Barnlund’s Transactional Model

    • Developed by Dean Barnlund in 1970, emphasizes simultaneous sending and receiving of messages.
    • Shifts focus from a linear model to a dynamic interpretation of communication, accounting for various factors influencing both sender and receiver.

    Interactive Model

    • Also known as the convergence model.
    • Facilitates two-way communication, with feedback loops enhancing interaction.
    • Appropriate for modern communication technologies, addressing both verbal and non-verbal exchanges.

    Schramm’s Model

    • Created by Wilbur Schramm in 1954, considered the father of mass communication.
    • Emphasizes the necessity for shared experiences between sender and receiver for effective communication.
    • Suggests that understanding occurs when overlapping fields of experience exist.

    Key Takeaways

    • Various communication models highlight different aspects of the communication process.
    • Understanding these models aids in differentiating effective communication strategies.
    • Each model has its strengths and weaknesses, influencing communication clarity and effectiveness.
