Communication Models Overview
- Model of Communication: A conceptual framework that describes the communication process.
- Feedback: An interactive component that enhances communication, allowing for responses and adjustments during interaction.
Linear Communication Model
- Defined as a one-way communication process.
- Information flows directly from sender to receiver, with no feedback.
- Lacks elements that account for interaction or response from the receiver.
Interactive Communication Model
- Characterized as a two-way communication process.
- Both sender and receiver switch roles; either can initiate messages and provide feedback.
- Incorporates feedback to enhance understanding.
- Includes the potential for noise, which can disrupt or alter the interpretation of the message.
Transactional Communication Model
- Describes communication as simultaneous interactions.
- Emphasizes that both parties are engaged in sending and receiving messages at the same time.
- Views communication as a dynamic process where roles are interdependent and occur concurrently.
Types of Communication Models
- The three primary types are:
- Linear Communication Model
- Interactive Communication Model
- Transactional Communication Model
