    Study Notes

    Linear Model of Communication

    • Represents a one-way flow of information from sender to receiver with no feedback.
    • Used primarily for factual information dissemination or persuasive communication.
    • Aristotle’s Model (5 BCE) emphasizes public speaking over interpersonal communication.
    • Five elements in Aristotle's Model: Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Target Audience, and Effect.
    • Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotions), and Logos (logic) are core components that improve communication effectiveness.

    Lasswell’s Model of Communication

    • Consists of five critical questions guiding the communication process: Who, What, Which, To Whom, and What Effect.
    • Illustrates the interaction between a librarian (source) and a student (receiver) as a communication example.

    Shannon-Weaver Model of Communication

    • Introduces the concept of noise, impacting the message transmission and reception.
    • Emphasizes encoding (message conversion) and decoding (message interpretation).
    • Originally a linear model, adapted into a cyclical format by adding feedback, making it more interactive.

    Berlo’s Model of Communication

    • Follows the SMCR framework: Source, Message, Channel, Receiver.
    • Highlights the importance of the sender’s communication skills, attitude, and knowledge.
    • Defines message content, treatment, code (language), and the role of channels (senses) in communication.
    • Stresses the need for common ground between source and receiver for effective communication.

    Interactive Model of Communication

    • Contrasts linear models by promoting two-way communication.
    • Considers feedback and response as integral elements of the communication process.

    Osgood-Schramm Model of Communication

    • Proposes a circular communication process treating participants as equal senders/receivers.
    • Emphasizes the need for easy interpretation and the importance of active listening for effective interaction.

    Westley and Maclean Model of Communication

    • Begins with environmental factors impacting the communication process.
    • Comprises nine elements: environment, sensory experience, source, object orientation, receiver, feedback, gatekeepers, and opinion leaders.
    • Argues personal background influences message interpretation and future interactions.

    Transactional Model of Communication

    • A dynamic communication method where both participants continuously influence the conversation outcome.
    • Emphasizes the cooperative nature of conversation, reflecting the complexities of evolving discussions.

    Barnlund’s Transactional Model

    • Focuses on real-time communication; both sender and receiver actively shape meeting outcomes.
    • Acknowledges the role of noise in differing perceptions.

    Helical Model of Communication

    • Developed by Frank Dance in 1967 likening communication to a helix, representing continuous growth over time.
    • Highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of communication as individuals mature and gain experience.
