    Study Notes

    Elements of Communication

    • Communication involves a sender, channel, receiver, and feedback
    • The sender initiates the communication process by creating a message and selecting a channel
    • The sender encodes the message to make it clear
    • The receiver decodes the message and responds or gives feedback
    • The medium is the channel used to deliver the message (e.g., print, mass media, electricity, digital)
    • The channel is the method of delivering the message to the target audience (e.g., phone calls, text messages)
    • Feedback is the response or reaction from the receiver of the message
    • Noise is anything that obstructs the communication process, including internal and external elements

    Context of Communication

    • Context consists of observable conditions that help sender and receiver understand a message together
    • Communication is affected by physical, psychological, social, and cultural contexts
    • Physical context includes factors of time, place, and occasion
    • Psychological context relates to the emotional history, social relationships, and cultural capital of those participating in the communication
    • Interactional context encompasses interpersonal, group, organizational, public presentational, and mass communication

    Noise and Communication Barriers
