Document Summary
A process of managing messages for the purpose of creating shared meaning. Messages can be verbal or nonverbal; intentional or unintentional. Channels are the medium through which a message is sent. Interference (noise) prevents message from being received, or prevents intended meaning from being understood. Other factors include listening, feedback, and time. Input is filtered by sender/receiver: message, channel, feedback, repeat. Small group communication: 3 or more members of a group influencing on one another. Organizational communication: communication that tries to find a means to an end within a business. Health communication: communication between doctor and the patient. Rhetoric: the idea of language; patterns and ways in which people speak; the effectiveness of persuasion and meaning when speaking. Interpretivists: try to understand what has happened in a specific event; social realm may not be subject to the same methods of investigation as the natural world.
