Which component of the definition of communication suggests that human communication is dynamic and changing quizlet?

a.) Interference: anything that hinders or reduces effective communication. This is the enemy of every communicator.
1. Ex) Kid walking in class in middle of speech
2. Ex) disruptive audience

b.) Message: is the substance, or what is transmitted during communication
Medium/channel: concerns how communication is sent and received.

c) Source: is where communication originates. Often we identify the source as the speaker
Receiver: is the audience, whoever gets the message and can interpret it.

d) Encoding: the encoding process converts our private ideas and feelings into a public symbol system(words, objects or behaviors)that others can access.
Decoding: is the process of interpretation that occurs on the receivers side of communication.

e) Feedback: all responses of communication comprise feedback. These reactions can be immediate, such as laughing at a joke when your hear it, or delayed, such as the comments you get on an essay.

Model: Linear
Ex.: Twitter, text and instant- messaging, e-mail, wall posts, scripted public speeches
Strength: Simple and straightforward
Weakness: Doesn't adequately describe most face-to-face or phone conversations

Model: Interactive
Ex.: Classroom instruction, group presentations, team/ coworker meetings
Strength: Captures a broad variety of communication forms
Weakness: Neglects the active role that receivers often play in constructing meaning

Model: Transactional
Ex.: Any encounter (most commonly face-to-face) in which you and others jointly create communication meaning
Strength: Intuitively captures what most people think of as interpersonal communication
Weakness: Doesn't apply to many forms of online communication, such as Twitter, e-mail, Facebook posts, and text-messaging

When the most basic needs (at the bottom of the hierarchy) are fulfilled, we turn our attention to pursuing higher-level ones. Interpersonal communication allows us to develop and foster the interactions and relationships that help us fulfill all of these needs. At the foundational level are physical needs, such as air, food, water, sleep, and shelter. If we can't satisfy these needs, we prioritize them over all others. Once physical needs are met, we concern ourselves with safety needs such as job stability and protection from violence. Then we seek to address social needs: forming satisfying and healthy emotional bonds with others.
Next are self-esteem needs, the desire to have others' respect and admiration. We fulfill these needs by contributing something of value to the world. Finally, we strive to satisfy self-actualization needs by articulating our unique abilities and giving our best in our work, family, and personal life.

Dyadic communication allows us to distinguish interpersonal communication from intrapersonal communication.

Interpersonal communication changes, and is changed by, participants' emotions, thoughts, behavior, and relationships.

Interpersonal communication is characterized by four principles: it has content and relationship information, it can be intentional or unintentional, it's irreversible, and it's dynamic. It can be used for fulfilling a hierarchy of needs and pursuing self- presentation, instrumental, and relationship goals.

communication

the process through which people use messages to generate meanings within and across contexts, cultures, channels, and media (NCA, n.d.)

The five features the characterize communication

is a process, uses messages, occurs in contexts, happens via channels, may require media

process

communication is a ______ that unfolds over time through a series of interconnected actions carried out by the participants.

Message

those engaged in communication (communicators) use ______ to convey meaning. A ______ is the "package of information that is transported during communication.

When people exchange a series of messages, whether face to face or online, the result is called an

interaction

context

communication occurs in a seemingly endless variety of _______, or situations. In each context, a host of factors influences how we communicate, such as how much time we have, how many people are in the vicinity, and whether the setting is personal or professional.

channels

people communicate through various ______. A ______ is the sensory dimension along which communicators transmit information. Channels can be auditory (sound), visual (sight), tactile (touch), olfactory (scent), or oral (taste).

media

to transmit information, communicators use a broad range of _____--tools for exchanging messages. Webcams, cell phones, texting, e-mail, letters, face-to-face interactions, all of these media, can be used to communicate.

The three models of the communication process

linear model, interactive model, and the transactional model

Linear communication model (one way)

communication is an activity in which information flows in one direction, from a starting point to an end point.
Linear model component:
MESSAGE, CHANNEL, SENDER (senders), NOISE--factors in the environment that impede messages from reaching their destination. for example, poor reception during a phone call or the smell of fresh coffee nearby. RECEIVER: the person for whom a message is intended and to whom the message is delivered.

Interactive communication model (two way)

also views communication as a process involving senders and receivers. However, according to this model, transmission is influenced by two additional factors: FEEDBACK and FIELD OF EXPERIENCE. Feedback is comprised of the verbal and nonverbal messages that recipients convey to indicate their reaction to communication. For example: "uh-huh" and nodding. Field of experience consist of the beliefs, attitudes, values, and experiences that each participant brings to a communication event.

Transactional communication model (multi way)

suggests that communication is fundamentally multidirectional. That is, each participant equally influences the communication behavior of the other participants. From the transactional perspective, there are no "senders" or "receivers." Instead, all the parties constantly exchange verbal and nonverbal messages and feedback, collaboratively creating meanings. For example, interpersonal exchanges.

Interpersonal communication

is a dynamic form of communication between two (or more) people in which then messages changed significantly influence their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

The four important implications of the definition of interpersonal communication

And of course, some interpersonal communication may involve more than just two people.
