Study Notes
Nature of Communication
- Communication is sharing messages or information between individuals.
- It encompasses various channels, contexts, media, and cultures.
- Involves a process of encoding, transmitting, and decoding messages.
Elements of Communication
- Speaker: The source of the information.
- Message: The information conveyed through words or actions.
- Encoding: Converting ideas into messages.
- Channel: The means through which the message is sent.
- Decoding: Interpreting the message by the receiver.
- Receiver: The individual who receives the message.
- Feedback: Responses from the receiver to the sender.
- Context: The environment or situation in which communication occurs.
- Barrier: Factors that disrupt the flow of communication.
Communication Models
- Berlo's SMCR Model: Established the components of communication (Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver) and emphasizes factors affecting efficiency.
- Shannon-Weaver Model: Known as the "mother of all communication models," represents a one-way communication process with noise affecting signal transmission.
- Aristotle’s Model: Focuses on speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effects; emphasizes speaker-centered communication.
- Interactive Model: Schramm’s model portrays two-way interaction, incorporating continuous feedback and role switching between sender and receiver.
Effective Communication Features
- Completeness: Essential for quality in communication.
- Conciseness: Directly addressing the point without unnecessary details.
- Consideration: Awareness of the receiver's background and context.
- Concreteness: Support ideas with facts and real-life examples.
- Courtesy: Respect cultural values and beliefs of the receiver.
- Clearness: Use simple and specific words to convey ideas.
- Correctness: Proper grammar enhances credibility.
Intercultural Communication
- Involves interactions among individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
- Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) outlines six stages of recognizing and responding to cultural differences.
- Denial: Ignoring cultural differences.
- Defense: Acknowledging differences but feeling superiority.
- Minimization: Recognizing differences while downplaying them.
Barriers to Communication
- Emotional barriers, lack of confidence, noisy environments, and jargon can impede effective communication.
Types of Interpersonal Context
- Dyad Communication: Interaction between two individuals sharing information.
- Small Group Communication: Involves 3-12 individuals interacting face-to-face for a common goal.
Speech Acts
- Three types of speech acts (Austin, 1962):
- Locutionary Act: The act of utterance.
- Illocutionary Act: The social function or intent behind the utterance.
- Perlocutionary Act: The effect or response elicited in the listener.
Communicative Strategy
- Effective conversation requires strategies, such as:
- Nomination: Opening a topic to engage others.
