Study Notes

Communication Overview

Communication is the art of exchanging messages between two or more people.
Involves four essential elements: Source, Message, Channel, and Receiver.

Models of Communication

Different models help differentiate the nature of communication processes.

Source

The source must possess good communication skills and an appropriate attitude for effective communication.
Knowledge and clarity of information are critical for the source.
Familiarity with the social system and cultural context is necessary to avoid misunderstandings.

Message

The content of communication includes verbal and nonverbal elements.
Proper structure and treatment of the message enhance understanding.
Messages must be conveyed using accurate codes (both verbal and nonverbal).

Channel

All senses serve as channels for communication, facilitating the transfer of messages.
Examples of sensory channels: hearing (listening), sight (reading body language), touch (physical sensations), taste (food preferences), smell (fragrance).

Receiver

The receiver must match the source in skills, attitudes, knowledge, and cultural understanding to grasp the message effectively.
Example: A news presenter (source) communicates through television (channel) to an audience (receivers).

Interactive Model of Communication

Focuses on ongoing processes and incorporates feedback from the receiver.
Advantages include the ability to provide feedback even in mass communication setups.
Disadvantages may involve slower or delayed feedback.

Transactional Model of Communication

Represents communication as a process generating social realities within contexts.
Emphasizes relationship building, intercultural alliances, and dialogue for community creation.
Advantages include instant feedback; disadvantages involve potential noise from simultaneous dialogue.

Barlund’s Model

Features constant feedback and a multi-layered feedback system, enhancing communication dynamics.

Helical Model of Communication

Describes communication as cyclical, continuous, and influenced by time and experience.
Shapes the understanding that communication is non-linear and accumulative over time.
