    Communication is the transfer of meaning between individuals through shared symbols or behaviors. It is a process that involves a sender, a message, a channel, receiver, feedback, context, and potential noise. There are three main models of communication: communication as action which is linear from sender to receiver; communication as transaction which involves feedback from the receiver to the sender; and communication as interaction which is simultaneous and interactive between individuals.

    What is Communication?

    Please get ready to take notes.


    Communication is:
    • The deliberate or accidental transfer of
    meaning;
    • That which occurs when someone
    observes or experiences behavior and
    attributes meaning to it;
    • A process;
    • Our link to the rest of humanity.
    • YOU CANNOT NOT COMMUNICATE
    3 Models for Communication
    – Communication as Action
    – Communication as Transaction
    – Communication as Interaction
    Communication as Action
    • Meaning sent or transferred from sender to
    receiver; Linear input/output
    • 5 parts: sender, message, channel, receiver,
    and noise

    Noise
    Noise Noise

    Sender Message Channel Message Receiver


    What are these parts?
    • Sender: originator of an idea
    • Message: written, spoken (verbal), & unspoken (nonverbal)
    elements of communication to which we assign meaning
    • Channel: how the message is sent; verbal or nonverbal
    • Receiver: person or persons to whom the message is
    addressed
    • Noise:anything that prevents effective communication at
    any time. EX: poor sound system, lose signal on cell

    Noise

    Sender Message Channel Message Receiver


    Encode & Decode
    • Encode: a process of translating ideas,
    feelings, and thoughts into symbols
    • Decode: a process of translating
    incoming information into
    understandable concepts
    What’s wrong with this model?
    We don’t simply send a message and stop
    communicating. Often we get a message back;
    this is called feedback.

    Noise

    Sender Message Channel Message Receiver


    Communication as Transaction
    • Shannon-Weaver model (1948)
    • Back and forth, like a Ping-Pong game; we talk, we listen,
    we talk, we listen
    • Adds feedback and context
    What are these added parts?
    • Feedback: verbal or nonverbal responses to a message
    • Context:physical, social (relationships), psychological,
    and time element in which communication takes place.

    Feedback

    • Simultaneous; even as we talk we are reacting
    • Most accurate to our communication process
    • intercultural

    Weaver Model
    • Physical:
    – Occurrences in the physical surroundings or in

    • Physiological:
    – Physical discomfort in the body of either the
    sender or the receiver
    • Psychological:
    – Negative feelings in the mind of either the sender
    or the receiver
    Noise, cont’d
    • Perceptual
    – Incorrect perceptions of the message and
    the receiver by the sender, and vice-versa
    • Semantic
    – Misinterpretation of words and sentences
    by the sender or receiver
    Review
    • Com. as Action:
    linear, from sender
    to receiver
    • Com. as
    Transaction:
    receiver responds
    to the sender
    through feedback
    • Com. as
    Interaction:
    simultaneously
    interactive
