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.
