Question 13

The three general modelsof communication

Answer 13

Transmission, interaction and transaction

Question 14

This describes communication as a linear, one-way process in which a sender intentionally transmits a message to a receiver .

Answer 14

Transmission Model

Question 15

This model focuses on the sender and message within a communication encounter.

Answer 15

Transmission Model

Question 16

Although the receiver is included in the model, this role is viewed as more of a target or end point rather than part of an ongoing process.

Answer 16

Transmission Model

Question 17

This describes communication as a process in which
participants alternate positions as sender and receiver
and generate meaning by sending messages and
receiving feedback within physical and psychological
contexts.

Answer 17

Interaction Model

Question 18

Rather than illustrating communication as a linear, one-
way process, the this model incorporates
feedback, which makes communication a more
interactive, two-way process.

Question 19

This describes communication as a process in which
communicators generate social realities within social,
relational, and cultural contexts.

Answer 19

Transaction Model

Question 20

In this model, people do not just communicate to
exchange messages; they communicate to create
relationships, form intercultural alliances, shape self-
concepts, and engage with others in dialogue to
create communities.

Answer 20

Transaction Model

Question 21

Unlike the interaction model, which suggests that
participants alternate positions as sender and
receiver, the this model suggests that people
are simultaneously senders and receivers.

Question 22

who says what to whom

Answer 22

Aristotelian Model

Question 23

includes four components: the sender, message, channel, and the receiver. This model views communication as the transfer of information.

Answer 23

Berlos’ SMCR Model of Communication

Question 24

a model consisting of basic elements such as a source, encoder, medium, decoder, receiver, and noise. It describes the way in which information flows from a sender to a receiver.

Answer 24

Shannon-Weaver Model of Communication

Question 25

Schramm’s model of communicationincludes a feedback loop and the processes of encoding, decoding, and interpretation. The success of communication also depends on the fields of experience of the participants. A field of experience includes past life experiences as well as attitudes and beliefs.

Answer 25

Schramm’s Model

Question 26

Communication models are complex
enough to truly capture all that takes place in a
communication encounter, BUT they can help
us examine the various steps in the process in
order to better understand our communication
and the communication of others. [T or F]

Answer 26

False: are NOT complex enough
