Study Notes
Communication Principles
- Harmonization Model presents communication as a linear process with a one-way flow.
- An example of one-way communication is a recorded lecture or graduation speech.
- Channel involves encoding, translating thoughts into communication, and decoding, which translates communication into thoughts.
- Noise refers to anything that interferes with message interpretation, categorized into physiological (internal), psychological (emotional), physical (external), and semantic (understanding of words).
Types of Noise
- Physiological Noise: Internal issues, like a migraine, affecting message interpretation.
- Psychological Noise: Emotions influencing the receiver's understanding, such as discomfort causing distraction.
- Physical Noise: Environmental distractions disrupting communication flow.
- Semantic Noise: Misunderstanding words or phrases leading to confusion.
Context in Communication
- Context consists of various factors that shape the meaning of a message, including:
- The background and experiences of the individuals involved.
