Interactive models of communication
What are the Interactive models of communication?
- The Osgood-Schramm communication model
- The Westley and Maclean communication model
___________ - They illustrate a two-way communication where the message gets more complex as the communication event progresses.
Transactional models of communication
What are the Transactional models of communication?
- Barnlund’s transactional communication model
- Dance’s Helical communication model
What are the main elements of Linear communication models
● The channel
● The sender
● The receiver
The oldest communication model that dates back to 300 BC, Aristotle’s model was designed to examine how to become a better and more persuasive communicator.
Aristotle’s model of communication
Aristotle’s model of communication primarily focuses on the ________ (public speaker, professor, etc.) who passes on their message to the receiver (the
audience).
sender
The ______ is also the only _________ in this model, whereas the audience is ______. This makes Aristotle’s communication model a foolproof way to excel in public speaking, seminars, and lectures.
active member
sender
passive
______________ model views communication as the transmission of a message with the effect as the result.
The effect in this case is the measurable and obvious change in the receiver of the message that is caused by the elements of communication.
Lasswell’s communication
It is a mathematical communication concept that proposes that communication is a linear, one-way process that can be broken down into 5 key concepts.
The Shannon-Weaver model of communication
This communication model is unique in the sense that it gives a detailed account of the key elements in each step.
Berlo’s S-M-C-R model of communication
What are the main elements of interactive communication models?
● Sender
● Message
● Receiver
● Feedback
● Field of experience
It is a circular model of communication, in which messages go in two directions between encoding and decoding. It shows that information is of no use until it is put into words and conveyed to other people.
The Osgood-Schramm model of communication
It suggests that the communication process does not start with the source/sender, but rather with
environmental factors. This model also takes into account the object of the orientation (background,
culture, and beliefs) of the sender and the receiver of messages.
The Westley and Maclean model of communication
What are the main elements of transactional communication models?
● Encoding,
● Decoding,
● Communicators,
● The message,
● The channel, and
● Noise.
It recognizes that communication is a circular process and a multi-layered feedback system between the sender and the receiver, both of whom can affect the
message being sent. The sender and the receiver change their places and are equally important and
both provide feedback.
Barnlund’s transactional model of communication
It views communication as a circular process that gets more and more complex as communication progresses. With every cycle of communication, we
expand our circle because communication never repeats itself.
Dance’s Helical model of communication
