Elements of Communication Flashcards
The person who conveys his thoughts or message to the receiver also called as encoder
sender
the subject matter of communication
message
lightwaves, soundwaves
medium
the way in which a message travel between source and receiver (f2f convo, telephone convo, etc) (senses)
channel
the setting, scene, and expectations of the individuals involved.
context
is the physical surroundings of a communication event, including the location and environmental conditions.
physical context
focuses on the relationships among the participants and the social roles they play, which usually determines friendliness, formality, and seriousness of the situation.
social–psychological context
involves the time of day, the time in history in which the communication takes place, and how a message fits into the sequence of communication events
temporal context
considers your (and others’) culture: the beliefs, values, and ways of behaving.
cultural context
refers to anything that interferes with message transmission or reception. These interferences include poor audio quality or too much sound, poor image quality, closed-mindedness, technical jargons, etc.
noise
the perceptible interference that is external to both speaker and listener (like screeching of passing cars, illegible handwriting); it interferes with the physical transmission of the signal or message.
physical noise
is created by barriers within the sender or receiver such as visual impairments, hearing loss, articulation problems, and memory loss.
physiological noise
is mental interference in the speaker or listener and includes preconceived ideas, wandering thoughts, biases and prejudices, closed-mindedness, and extreme emotionalism.
psychological noise
is created when the speaker and listener have different meaning systems; it includes language or dialectical differences, the use of jargon or overly complex terms, a
semantic noise
is communication with oneself, usually through reflective thinking.
intrapersonal communication
Communication between two persons or a small group of people whose lives mutually influence one another
interpersonal communication
any conversation with more than 2 people
group communication
takes place between people who are working towards common goals within an organization
organizational communication
dispersing messages to the general populace or to a specific group using various tools and methos
public communication
process of imparting and exchanging information through mass media
mass communication
occurs when we engage in speaking with others, it can be face to face over the telephone, etc (some are formal some are informal)
verbal communication
time, physical appearance, taste, space, facial expression, posture, eye contact, touch
(haptics), hand movements, smell, etc
non-verbal communication
one way communication
linear
two way communication
interactive model
message is more complex
transactional model
changes in thinking (effect of comm)
cognitive effect
changes in attitudes/beliefs
affective effect
changes in behavior
behavioral effect
first to take an initiative and design the communication model. His was simple and basic. It has three (3) main features, namely: speaker, message, audience.
The Aristotelian Model
one of the earlier models of communication depicting it as unidirectional process with five (5) elements: who (sender) is saying what (message), which channel is used to convey the messages, who (receiver) the message is aimed, at and what effect the message has.
The Lasswell Model
A model originally designed to improve telephone communication, the Shannon-Weaver model identifies five (5) basic components: an information source, a transmitter, a receiver, a destination and noise
The Shannon-Weaver Model
conceptualized a number of models to explain the communication process. In each of his models, he introduces and explains an essential component of the communication act. His second communication, for example, model highlights the importance of an overlap of communicators’ fields.
Schramm’s Model
model seems to represent the process of communication in its simplest form, only using the established elements Sender, Message, Channel, and Receiver.
Berlo’s SMCR Model
