OCC - 2nd Semester: 1st Grading Assessment Flashcards
The simple sending and receiving of messages
Communication
Ways in which communication can be done
Verbally, non-verbally, visually
Aim of communication
shared understanding
Any process in which people generate shared meanings using symbols
Communication
Elements of communication
Sender
Receiver
Channel
Message
Feedback
Noise
Setting
The people involved in the communication process
Sender-receivers
they have information they want to share
sender-receivers
the ideas or information that the sender-receivers want to share
messages
the route travelled by a message or the means a message uses to reach the sender-receiver
channel
the response of the sender-receivers to each other
feedback
types of feedback that you may receive
positive, negative, constructive, nonverbal, verbal
interference that keeps a message from being clearly understood or interpreted
noise
types of noise
external
internal
semantic
physical or environmental noise
external noise
the communication models
Aristotles (5 BC) model
Shannon-Weaver Model (1948)
Schramm’s Model (1955)
from the mind; thoughts or feelings are focused on something other than the conversation at hand
internal noise
people’s emotional reactions to words
semantic nosie
the context or environment in which the communication occurs
setting
First and earliest model consisting of 3 elements
Aristotle’s model
3 elements of Aristotle’s model
Sender (speaker)
Message (speech)
Receiver (listener)
3 settings of Aristotle’s model
Legal
Deliberative
Ceremonial
Occurs in courts where ordinary people defended themselves
Legal setting
Occurs in political assemblies
Deliberative
Occurs in celebrations held
Ceremonial
Gave the concept of noise; also called the telephone model
Shannon-Weaver Model (1948)
Elements of the Shannon-Weaver Model
Sender (Source)
Transmitter / Encoder
Channel + Noise
Reception / Decoder
Receiver
Feedback
Father of Mass Communication
Wilbur Schramm
Concerned with the concept that explains why communication breakdown occurs
Schramm Model (1955)
Asserts that communication can take place only if there is an overlap between the sender and receiver’s Field of Experience
Schramm’s Model (1955)
Everything that makes a person unique
Field of Experience
Modern models of communication
Linear
Interactive
Transactional
Proposed the modern models of communication
Adler and Rodman (2011)
One-way communication
Linear model
Absence of feedback - receiver is not able to immediately respond or it does not require feedback
Linear model
Also called the convergence model
Interactive model
The exchange of ideas take place from sender to receiver and vice-versa (alternate roles)
Interactive model
It is clear who the sender and receiver is in this model
Interactive model
More systematic model = lesser room for noise (can be rectified) and is more formal
Interactive model
Model that crates relationships and communities
Transactional Model
The roles reverse each time and the sender-receivers are called communicators
More dynamic and is the most general model of communication
- there can be 2 or more communicators involved
Transactional model
The only way noise can be determined
There is feedback
Types of non-verbal communication
Paralanguage
Colors
Symbols
Chronemics
Proxemics
Gestures
Oculesics
Posture and appearance
Facial expressions
Haptics
