Document Summary

It is automatic (we are not taught how to communicate verbally or nonverbally) that we intend to transmit: communication is important in intimate relationships. First step involves the person who is transmitting the message. Communication begins with the sender"s intentions of what they want to convey. The problem is that the sender"s intentions are private and known only to them. For the sender intentions to be communicated to the listener, they need to encode the message into verbal and nonverbal actions that are public and observable. Many factors, such as the sender"s mood, social skills, or noisy distractions in the surrounding environment influence or interfere with this process. Their actions are the result of how they encode/package the message. The recipient receives the message, and they must decode the speaker"s verbal and nonverbal action. They have to interpret what the message is. There is interference here too (receiver"s mood, social skills, noisy distractions in the surrounding environment)
