Michael Argyle developed the theory of the communication cycle, in this theory there a six stages which are to happen. The six stages are: the idea occurs, message coded, message sent, message received, message decoded and finally message understood.

The fourth stage of this cycle is the message received, this is where the other person has listened to what you have said to them and received your message towards them. The message decoded is the fifth stage of the cycle, this is where the person who has received your message is now decoding what you have said and will now be processing the way you said it towards them with the tone in your voice and will have been looking at your body language and expressions to see whether the message they have just received is bad or good. The sixth and final stage of the cycle is the message understood, this is where the person has now understood your message and has fully translated and processed the way you have said it and the way you wanted it to come across. The other person will now be having an idea occur that they want to communicate back to you,…
