    Study Notes

    Communication Models

    • Models represent communication behaviors, simplifying complex processes.
    • Models are named after their creators, not necessarily their content.

    Aristotle’s Model of Communication

    • Written by Aristotle (384-322 BC) in 'Rhetoric'
    • Composed of a speaker, a message, and a listener.
    • The listener determines the effectiveness of communication.

    Harold Lasswell’s Model of Communication

    • Created by political scientist Harold Lasswell in 1948.
    • Features a source sending a message through a medium to a receiver, producing an effect.
    • Depicted using the questions: Who? Sender, Says what ? Message, in Which? Channel, to Whom? Receiver, With What Effect? Effect of the message.

    Shannon and Weaver’s Model of Communication

    • Created by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1949.
    • Initially designed for radio and telephone technology.
    • Represents a linear model of communication.
    • Consists of a sender, a channel, and a receiver.
    • Expanded on by David Berlo in 1960 creating the SMCR Model (Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver).
    • It is criticized for focusing on information quantity rather than meaning.

    Schramm's Model of Communication

    • Developed by Wilbur Schramm in 1954.
    • Represents communication as a cyclical process with source, message, and destination.
    • Emphasizes the "Field of Experience," including culture, beliefs, and experiences.

    HUB Model of Communication

    • Designed by Hiebert, Ungurait, and Bohn.
    • Portrays communication as a cyclical, dynamic, and ongoing process.
    • Sender and receiver roles are interchangeable and both actively participate.

    The Linear Model of Communication

    • A one-way model with a sender transmitting a message to a receiver.
    • The receiver does not provide feedback.
    • Examples include letters, emails, and lectures.

    The Interactive Model of Communication

    • A combination of two stacked linear models with feedback, indicating a two-way communication process.
    • Includes a "Field of Experience" that includes cultural background and lived experiences.
