    Study Notes

    Elements of Communication

    • Sender: The person who sends the message, known as the speaker or encoder.
    • Receiver: The listener or decoder who interprets the message and provides feedback.

    Types of Noise Interfering with Communication

    • Physiological Noise: Barriers within the sender or receiver that hinder communication, including:

      • Mumbling
      • Forgetting to pause
      • Speaking too fast or too slow
      • Forgetting to breathe
    • Psychological Noise: Mental distractions affecting the speaker or listener, such as:

      • Wandering thoughts
      • Preconceived ideas (biases, prejudices)
      • Sarcasm which discourages engagement with the message
    • Semantic Noise: Occurs when there is a misunderstanding between the speaker and listener due to different meanings associated with words.

    • Physical Noise: External interference that hampers the transmission of the message, for example, environmental sounds.

    Message and Channel

    • Message: The information conveyed by the sender, comprising ideas and feelings intended for the receiver.
    • Channel: The medium through which the message is delivered, which can include:
      • Traditional media (radio, television, newspapers)
      • Nonverbal communication via human senses (touching, smelling, tasting)

    Situation

    • Situation: Refers to the context (time and place) in which communication occurs, influencing how the message is adapted and understood.
