Study Notes
Introduction to Communication
- Communication is a transactional process using symbols to create meaning
- Communication is symbolic, representing something else (e.g., symbols, signs, objects)
- Communication is cultural, inseparable from culture
- Communication is relational, affecting and being affected by relationships
- Communication involves frames, cultural assumptions within contexts
Components of Communication
- People: Sources and receivers, influenced by gender, culture, race
- Message: Words, sounds, actions; can be verbal or non-verbal
- Code: Systematic arrangement of symbols, includes verbal and non-verbal codes
- Channel: The method of message delivery, e.g., airwaves, soundwaves
- Feedback: Speaker response, can be positive/negative, immediate/delayed
- Encoding/Decoding: Translating thoughts into codes and interpreting them
- Noise: Interference, disrupting message clarity (physical, visual, spatial, physiological, psychological)
- Situation: Context and relationships influencing communication
Communication Principles
- Communication starts with self-perception and others' perceptions
- Communication involves others' understanding and perceptions
- Communication has content and relational dimensions
- Communication involves choices of language, channels, and relationships
- Communication is complicated, influenced by verbal and non-verbal aspects, and channels
- Communication quantity does not equal quality
- Communication is pervasive, constantly occurring
- Communication cannot be reversed
Communication Concepts
- Intrapersonal Communication: Internal dialogue, messages to oneself
- Interpersonal Communication: Meaning between 2+ people
- Public Communication: One speaker to many physical receivers
- Mass Communication: One speaker to many unseen receivers
- Digitally Mediated Communication: Communication through technology (e.g., email, social media)
Social Experiments
- Experiments explore social behaviors in various contexts (e.g., Robbers Cave, Violinist in the Metro)
- Social experiments often use confederates (actors) to create specific situations
- Results reveal insights into social psychology (e.g., how groups interact, the effects of perceptions)
Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT)
- CBT emphasizes the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Cognitive distortions (e.g., arbitrary inference, selective abstraction) are inaccurate interpretations that impact negatively
- CBT techniques involve challenging negative thoughts and developing positive coping strategies
Communication Disorders
- Communication disorders affect speech, language, or hearing
- Speech disorders relate to the articulation, fluency, or voice
- Language disorders involve issues with understanding or using language
- Hearing disorders affect the ability to perceive sounds
Emotions and Feelings
- Emotions are physical reactions to stimuli (e.g., physiological responses)
- Feelings are cognitive experiences of emotions (e.g., interpretations)
- Emotions include joyful/affectionate, hostile, and sad categories
- Attachment theory explores the development of emotional responses with caregivers
Attachment Styles
- Attachment styles (e.g., secure, anxious, avoidant) influence relationships
Definitions
- Communication: The process of exchanging information, thoughts, and feelings among entities
