Study Notes
Nonverbal Communication
- Women tend to use touch to convey care, concern, and nurturance, while men are more likely to use touch to assert power or control over others.
- Artifacts, such as objects and images, can be used to communicate nonverbally and convey information about an individual's identity and preferences.
Visual Communication
- Visual communication involves delivering information and messages through graphical representations or visual aids.
- It is an important aspect of communication, as it can convey complex information in a concise and engaging manner.
Listening
- Listening is a crucial part of the communication process, and it involves more than just hearing or politely waiting for one's turn to speak.
- Active listening involves engaging one's mind while the other person is speaking, intently focusing on what they are saying.
Intended and Unintended Communication
- Intended communication refers to planning what and how to communicate ideas to others, particularly those in positions of authority or respect.
- Unintended communication, on the other hand, occurs when non-verbal messages are sent unintentionally, or when negative remarks are made out of frustration or anger.
Elements of Communication Process
- Speaking and listening are vital elements of communication, and individuals involved in communication take on both roles simultaneously.
- The communication process involves eight stages: thinking, symbolizing, expressing, transmitting, receiving, decoding, reacting, and monitoring.
Components of Communication
- The components of communication include the addressor (speaker), addressee (listener), context (situation), contact, code, and message.
The Communicators
- The sender/speaker is the person who sends the message and is the source of information.
- The receiver/listener is the person whom the message is intended for, and they take turns in their roles during the communication process.
Message and Channel
- The message is the information that the sender wants to convey, and it can take various forms such as questions, statements, or comments.
- The channel or medium is the means by which the message is transmitted, and it can be language, text messages, or other forms of communication.
Feedback and Noise
- Feedback is the response from the receiver to the sender, indicating comprehension of the message.
- Noise refers to interference that can occur during the communication process, and it can come from internal or external sources.
