Study Notes
Communication Model
- Consists of six stages: sender, encoding, medium, decoding, action, and feedback
- The sender is the person passing on a message to another individual
- Encoding involves translating the message into verbal and non-verbal symbols
- The medium is the channel used to communicate the message (speech, written, media, or non-verbal)
- Decoding involves the receiver interpreting the message, influenced by their outlook, experience, and attitude
- Action is the behavior acted upon by the receiver as a result of the message
- Feedback is a continuous two-way process that completes the communication process
