Study Notes
Elements of Communication
- Sender: Originator of the communication, crucial for initiating the process.
- Message: A clear and concise communication that leaves no room for misinterpretation.
Definition of Communication
- A process of assigning and conveying meaning to establish mutual understanding.
- Involves a variety of skills including listening, speaking, observing, questioning, and analyzing.
Communication Process Elements
- Encoding: Translating thoughts into a communicable format.
- Noise: Any interference that distorts the message.
- Media: Channels of communication used to transmit the message (oral, written, visual).
- Decoding: Interpretation of the message by the receiver.
- Receiver: Target individual or group for the intended message.
- Feedback: Response from the receiver that completes the communication loop.
Channels of Communication
- Face-to-Face: Direct, personal interaction.
- Mobile: Communication via mobile devices.
- Written: Text-based messages, including letters and reports.
- Electronic: Digital platforms such as emails and messaging apps.
- Broadcast: Mass communication through television, radio, or online streaming.
Feedback Characteristics
- Should be timely, ensuring responsiveness to the message received.
- May encompass ideas, responses, opinions, surveys, comments, and ratings.
Types of Noise in Communication
- Psychological Noise: Distractions caused by internal thoughts or feelings, such as daydreaming.
- Physiological Noise: Physical conditions affecting perception, like hunger or fatigue.
- Physical Noise: External environmental distractions that hinder message reception.
- Semantic Noise: Misinterpretations arising from differing understandings of words or symbols.
Principles of Effective Communication
- Clarity: Ensuring the message is easily understood.
- Conciseness: Being brief while still conveying necessary information.
- Credibility: Establishing trustworthiness in the communicator.
- Completeness: Providing all essential information for understanding.
- Correctness: Ensuring accuracy in the message content.
- Coherence: Maintaining logical flow in communication.
- Continuity: Ensuring a consistent message throughout interactions.
Additional Insights on Feedback and Noise
- Timeliness and accountability are essential components of responsible feedback.
- Noise can disrupt communication at any stage, illustrating the importance of clarity in conveying messages.
