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.
