Communication Process

The video tutorial explains two primary communication models: the transactional and constructionist models. The transactional model views communication as a mutual exchange involving a source, message, channel, receiver, environment, context, and interference. It emphasizes the fluid interaction and interpretation of information. The constructionist model focuses on the collective observation and reaction to information. Key elements like encoding, decoding, feedback, and interference are discussed, highlighting how they affect communication.

What is the primary focus of the transactional model of communication?

• A linear process of sending and receiving

• A hierarchical flow of data

• A mutual exchange of messages

• A one-way transmission of information

Which component of communication involves translating a message into meaning?

• Encoding

• Channel

• Decoding

• Feedback

What role does the environment play in the communication process?

• It decides the feedback mechanism

• It determines the language used

• It influences how messages are encoded

• It affects how communication takes place

What is considered interference in the communication process?

• A well-structured feedback

• A direct communication channel

• Any factor that dilutes the message

• Clear and concise messages

How does the constructionist model view communication?

• As a procedural transmission of data

• As a fluid interaction focusing on perception

• As a strict encoding and decoding process

• As a hierarchical exchange of information
