Chapter 1: Competent Communication
What are the most common myths about communication?
Communication is a cure-all
Communicating is just common sense
Communication Quantity Equals Quality
Explain the differences between the three models of communication.a. Linear Model: The Straight Arrow View Involves a sender who sends a message through a channel to a receiver in an atmosphere of noise.b. Interactive Model: The Ping-Pong View Similar to linear model but includes feedback. The addition of feedback indicates that communication is not a one-way but two-way process. Receivers are actively involved in the process they are not static targets. Receivers come sender, and senders come receivers of messages. Also, this model includes fields of experience.c. Transactional Model: The Sender-Receiver Impact View This model assumes that people are connected through communication; they engage in a transaction. First, it recognizes that each of us is a sender-receiver, not merely a sender or a receiver. You may be speaker in a convo, but you are receiving feedback from your listeners simultaneously. Second, it recognizes that communication affects all parties involved.
Define the basic communication elements contained in the communication models.a. sender: initiator and encoderb. message: stimulus that produces meaningc. channel: medium through which a message travels, such as oral or writtend. receiver: decoder of a messagee. noise: interference with effective transmission and reception of a messagef. Field of experience: includes our cultural, background, ethnicity, geographic location, extent of travel, and general personal experiences accumulated over the course of a lifetime.
Explain the two aspects of every message.
Understand the communication competence model. How could you enhance your communication competence?Communication competence is engaging
