Study Notes
Communication Process
- Communication involves sending, receiving, and interpreting messages between individuals or groups.
- Key elements include the sender, message, receiver, and feedback.
- Models of communication illustrate different aspects of the process, simplifying complex interactions.
Models of Communication
-
Shannon & Weaver Model (1948):
- Linear model depicting a one-way message flow from sender to receiver.
- Assumes messages have a clear beginning and end, limiting understanding of interactive communication.
-
Transaction Model:
- Recognizes communication as a two-way process, including feedback.
- Emphasizes the dynamic nature of communication; messages influence each other and are interrelated.
- Highlights the importance of shared understanding and overlapping experiences.
Functions of Mass Media Communication
- In mass media (e.g., television), the sender is the content creator while the receiver is the audience.
- To gauge audience understanding, feedback mechanisms (like ratings or viewer discussions) can be analyzed.
Types of Noise in Communication
-
Physiological Noise:
- Bodily conditions affecting message transmission, such as illness or discomfort.
-
Psychological Noise:
- Preconceived notions or biases that distort interpretation of the message.
-
Physical Noise:
- External distractions, such as loud environments, that interfere with communication.
-
Environmental Noise:
- Noise pollution from various activities (transport, industry) affecting communication clarity.
-
Semantic Noise:
- Misunderstandings caused by unfamiliar language or jargon used by the sender not suited for the receiver.
Communication Breakdown
- Communication breakdown occurs when messages or feedback are not properly sent or received.
- Effective communication requires skills in both sending and receiving messages.
- Clarity is essential for avoiding misunderstandings and promoting better comprehension.
Strategies to Avoid Communication Breakdown
- Frame messages simply and politely, considering the receiver's background and experience.
- Establish clear communication objectives and adapt messages according to the audience’s level of understanding.
- Use body language effectively to enhance communication.
- Minimize environmental distractions to maintain focus during communication.
- Avoid overloading the audience with excessive information to sustain their interest and engagement.
