Lesson 3 Models of Communication Flashcards
++COMMUNICATION MODES
are the metaphorical, simplified and systematic representation of the communication processes which forms general perspectives on communication.
Communication Model
give 4 models that follows linear model of communication
- Lasswell’s Model
- Aristotle’s Model
- Shannon Weaver Model
- Berlo’s S-M-C-R Model
give 3 models that follows transactional model of communication
- Barnlund’s Transactional Model
- Helical Model
- Becker’s Mosaic Model
give an example of interactional model
Schramm’s Interactive Model
give 2 other examples of communication model
- Dance’s Helical Spiral Model
- Westley and MacLean’s Conceptual Model
it is a simple one way communication model.
Linear model of communication
the message flows in a straight line from sender to the receiver
linear model of communication
there is no concept of feedback
linear model of communication
the only task that a receiver does here is to receive the message
linear model of communication
senders and receivers both are known as communicators and both play equally important role in communication
Transactional model of communication
relates communication with social reality, cultural up-bringing and relational context (relationships)
transactional model of communication
non-verbal feedback like gestures, body language, is also considered as feedback in this model
transactional model of communication
interactive model is also known as
convergence model
is similar to transactional model as they are both two way communication model
interactive model of communication
is mostly used for new media like internet
interactive model of communication
here, people can respond to any mass communications like videos, news, etc. People can exchange their views and ideas
interactive model of communication
Aka action model or linear or one way model of communication
Harold Lasswell’s Model
it is one of the most influential communication models
Harold Lasswell’s Model
has 5 components which is used as an analysis tool for evaluating the communication process & components
Harold Lasswell’s Model
components are the questions to be asked to get the answers & keep communication going
Harold Lasswell’s Model
5 components of Harold Lasswell’s Model
- Who
- Says What
- In which channel
- to whom
- with what effect
components of Harold Lasswell’s Model:
the communicator or sender or source of message, CONTROL ANALYSIS
who
components of Harold Lasswell’s Model:
the content of message, CONTENT ANALYSIS
Says what
components of Harold Lasswell’s Model:
the medium or media, MEDIA ANALYSIS
In which channel
components of Harold Lasswell’s Model:
the receiver or an audience, AUDIENCE ANALYSIS
To whom
components of Harold Lasswell’s Model:
the feedback of the receiver to the sender, EFFECT ANALYSIS
with what effect
> effective communication process
mass media, only rich can communicate
does not include feedback and ignores noise
does not consider barriers of communication
Harold Lasswell’s Model
Aristotle is a Greek Philosopher and writer born in
Stagira, Northern Greece
Aristotle was also the teacher of _____. He studied physics, logic, mathematics, etc.
Alexander the Great
_____ developed a linear model of communication for oral communication known as which is considered the 1st model of communication and was proposed before 300 BC. it is most widely communication model
Aristotle
it is mainly focused on speaker and speech
Aristotle model
Aristotle Model 5 primary elements
Speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect
It is a speaker centered model as the speaker has the most important role in it. It is the speaker’s role to deliver a speech to the audience. The role of the audience is passive, influenced by the speech. This makes the communication process one way, from speaker to receiver
Aristotle model
The speaker must organize the speech beforehand, according to the target audience and situation (occasion). The speech must be prepared so that the audience be persuaded or influenced from speech.
Aristotle model
To develop public speaking skills and create a propaganda and is speaker oriented and focuses on audience
Aristotle Model can be broadly divided into 5 primary elements:
Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience and Effect
It is a speaker centered model as the speaker has the most important role in it
Aristotle Model
It is the speaker’s role to deliver a speech to the audience. The role of the audience is passive, influenced by the speech. This makes the communication process one way, from speaker to receiver
Aristotle Model
The speaker must organize the speech beforehand, according to the target audience and situation (occasion). The speech must be prepared so that the audience be persuaded or influenced from the speech
Aristotle Model
To develop public speaking skills and create a propaganda and is speaker oriented and focuses on audience interaction in communication, there is no concept of feedbacks.
Aristotle Model
E.g. a politician (speaker) gives a speech to get votes from the civilians (audience) at the time of election (occasion). The civilians only vote if they are influenced by the things the politician says in his speech so the content must be very impressive to influence the mass and the speaker must design the message very carefully.
Aristotle Model
ARISTOTLE MODEL
3 Critical elements of a good communicator:
-Ethos
-Pathos
-Logos
Critical elements of a good communicator: features that makes you credible in front of the audience
ethos
Critical elements of a good communicator: what you say is important for emotional bonds
pathos
Critical elements of a good communicator: it is logic. people find logic in everything. use factual data
logos
Criticisms of Aristotle’s Model of Communication
-No concept of feedback, it is one way from speaker to audience
-No concept of communication failure like noise & barriers
-only for public speaking
created in 1948 when Claude Elwood Shannon wrote an article “A mathematical theory of communication” in Bell System Technical Journal with Warren Weaver
Shannon Weaver Model
____ was an American mathematician whereas ____ was a scientist
Shannon
Weaver
this model is mother of all models
Shannon and Weaver Model
Shannon and Weaver Model was created in ___ when _____ Shannon wrote an article “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” in Bell System Technical Journal with ____ Weaver
1948
Claude Elwood
Warren
there are 3 levels of problems of communication per Shannon Weaver
- Technical problem
- Semantic problem
- Effectiveness problem
3 levels of problems of communication per Shannon Weaver: how a channel causes a problem
technical problem
3 levels of problems of communication per Shannon Weaver: is the meaning of message sent and received very different
semantic problem
3 levels of problems of communication per Shannon Weaver: how effectively does the message cause reaction
effectiveness problem
Concept of noise. 2 way process. Apply in general communication. Quantifiable.
Shannon and Weaver Model
More for interpersonal communication than group communication and mass communication. Receiver plays the passive and sender plays the primary. Human communication is not mathematical in nature.
Shannon Weaver Model
Source/Sender ___ the message
a.) encodes
b.) decodes
a.) encodes
receiver ___ the message
a.) encodes
b.) decodes
b.) decodes
SMCR means
Source
Message
Channel
Receiver
5 factors of SOURCE and RECEIVER in Berlo’s SMCR model
- Communication Skill
- Attitudes
- Knowledge
- Social System
- Culture
5 factors of MESSAGE in Berlo’s SMCR model
- Content
- Elements
- Treatment
- Structure
- Code
5 factors of CHANNEL in Berlo’s SMCR model
- Hearing
- Seeing
- touching
- Smelling
- tasting
-there is no concept of feedback, so the effect is not considered
-there is no concept of noise
-no concept of barriers in communication process
Berlo’s SMCR Model
It is a linear model of communication, there is no two way communication. Both of the people must be similar according to its factors
Berlo’s SMCR Model
multi layered feedback system
Barnlund’s Transactional Model
3 cues of Barnlund’s Transactional Model
- Public Cues - environment
- Private Cues - senses
- Behavioural Cues - non verbal
Shared field experience of the sender & receiver. Simultaneous message sending, noise & feedback.
Barnlund’s Transactional Model
Complex. both must understand codes
Barnlund’s Transactional Model

Complexity of communication. No environmental and social dimensions
Becker’s Mosaic Model
new bits are useless if the last bits are lost
Becker’s Mosaic Model
acceleration principle
Schramm’s Model
the principle states that the increase in demand for consumer goods leads to a rise in demand for capital goods
Schramm’s Model
relates to industrial production, demand, supply, consumption and is mathematical one. not universally accepted as it ignores technological gaps
Schramm’s Model
Westley & Maclean’s model by ____ Westley and ____ Maclean
Bruce

-group as well as mass communication
-complicated
Westley & Maclean’s Model
-channel
-one expresses her/his ideas
