Study Notes
Psychological Communication
- Communication is the process of producing and imparting information, exchanging ideas, opinions, and feelings to influence and create a response.
- A dynamic process starts with the sender conceptualizing an idea, transmitting the message through a channel to the receiver, who provides feedback. This loop happens within a timeframe.
- Key elements: Sender, Encoding, Message, Channel, Receiver, Decoding, Feedback.
Communication Process
- Sender (or communicator): The individual initiating the conversation, and conceptualizing the idea to convey.
- Encoding: The sender uses words, symbols, and non-verbal cues (body language) to translate information into a message. The sender's knowledge, skills, and background affect the encoding success.
- Message: The information the sender intends to convey; can be written, oral, symbolic (sign language), or non-verbal (body language).
- Channel: The medium through which the message is transmitted (e.g., oral, written, virtual). Medium choice considers relationships between sender and receiver, and urgency of the message.
- Receiver: The individual for whom the message is intended.
- Decoding: The receiver interprets the sender's message, trying to understand it in the same way intended. The receiver's knowledge, skills, and experience influence how the message is decoded.
- Feedback: The final step. Ensures the receiver received and correctly interpreted the message, as intended by the sender. Promotes communication effectiveness. Receiver response can be verbal or nonverbal.
Types of Communication
- Verbal Communication: Spoken words.
- Nonverbal Communication: Includes body language, expressions, and appearance.
- Visual Communication: Includes signs, maps, graphics, and colors to reinforce verbal information.
Communication Patterns
- Intra-individual: Communication within the individual (e.g., self-talk, reflection).
- Inter-individual: Communication between individuals (e.g., face-to-face conversations).
Factors Influencing Perception
- Needs and Motives: Unsatisfied needs influence perception. People try to satisfy their needs, even if it is not in the real world but the imaginary world.
- Past experiences: Past experiences shape how present situations are perceived.
- Beliefs: Personal beliefs affect a person's interpretations of information.
- Expectations: Anticipated behavior affects perception.
- Emotional State: Mood and emotional state affect current situation perception.
- Cultural Upbringing: Values and ethics influence perception.
- Personality Components: Motives, habits, emotions, and beliefs shape perceptions.
- Physical environment: Location, lighting, and atmosphere influence perception.
Communication Channels
- Two-way communication: Both parties send and receive information, enabling feedback for improved understanding.
- One-way communication: Message flows from sender to receiver; lacks feedback. Examples include radio broadcasts.
Johari Window
- A tool for communication analysis, showing how Self-Concept and Feedback create an 'Open Area'.
- Open Area: Information known by both oneself and others; indicates strong communication.
- Blind Area: Information known by others but unknown to the individual.
- Hidden Area: Information known by the individual, but hidden from others.
- Unknown Area: Information unknown to both.
