Shannon-Weaver's Model of Communication
- The communication process begins with the sender, who has information to share with others.
- The sender encodes the message and transmits it through a channel (medium).
- The receiver receives the message and decodes/interprets it.
Components of the Communication Process
- The sender (communicator or source) initiates the communication process.
- The receiver (interpreter) receives and decodes the message.
- The message or content is the information being relayed.
- The channel or medium is how the message is transmitted (e.g., cell phones, radio, television).
- Feedback occurs when the receiver responds to the sender, indicating comprehension.
Factors Affecting Communication
- Noise: any interference that affects the message being sent, received, or understood.
- Context: the setting and situation in which communication takes place, which can impact the successful exchange of information.
