    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.
