Study Notes
Nature and Characteristics of Communication
- Communication is a systemic process involving interaction through symbols, creating and interpreting meanings.
- It is a continuous, dynamic process affected by external factors and does not occur in isolation.
- Different cultures have unique systems incorporating verbal and nonverbal communication; context, environment, and timing significantly influence this system.
Communicators in Communication
- Communicators actively construct meaning through conversations, including non-verbal cues such as facial expressions and gestures.
- Communication is irreversible; once something is said, it cannot be taken back, highlighting the importance of word choice.
- Meaning is collaboratively created; both the sender and receiver play vital roles in the communication process.
Communication as Symbolic
- Symbols, such as words and gestures, signify thoughts and feelings, enabling interpretation and expression of ideas.
- Individuals derive personal meanings from communication, shaped by their backgrounds, knowledge, experiences, and attitudes.
Misconceptions about Communication
- Communication can occur without complete understanding; it does not always resolve conflicts.
- Individual responses in communication are influenced by diverse factors, making it complex rather than simple.
Communication Models
- Linear Models are one-dimensional, focusing primarily on the sender and the message.
- Interactive Models involve a two-way exchange, where both sender and receiver contribute to meaning-making.
- Transactional Models present the most nuanced view, where communication is ongoing and contextually bound.
Linear Models
- Aristotelian Model emphasizes rhetoric tailored to different audiences and includes feedback mechanisms.
- Lasswell Model identifies the communication process as involving the channel, content, and receiver response.
- Shannon & Weaver Model portrays communication as a sender-receiver dynamic impacted by noise.
- Berlo’s Model integrates social factors affecting message encoding and decoding, asserting that sender and receiver must align for effective communication.
Interactive Models
- Schramm’s Model stresses individual interpretation based on personal experiences and cultural backgrounds.
- White’s Model emphasizes circular communication, highlighting that the sender can also be the receiver, creating a continuous loop of interaction.
Transactional Models
- Wood’s Transactional Model illustrates the shared construction of meaning influenced by culture and context.
- Speech Communication Transaction Model contains six elements: speaker, listener, feedback, channel, situation, and cultural context, essential for public communication.
