Document Summary
More communication does not always mean better. (ex: in a relationship bringing up the same issue over and over again): explain the differences between the three models of communication (linear, interactive, and transactional). >linear: one way, involves a sender who sends a message through a channel to a receiver in an atmosphere of noise. >interactive: back and forth, participants act as both senders and receivers, fields of experience (gender, ethnicity) are also taken into consideration. >channel: medium a message is sent (oral, written) >receiver: person getting the message, the decoder of a message. >message: what the senders want the receivers to get, a stimulus that produces meaning. >encode: putting ideas into spoken language, the sender translates what they want to say into the proper words in a coherent manner. >context: the setting in which the communication is being utilized for to fully understand it; "why" and "what" and "for what reason"
