What is involved in communication process
The communication process involves the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver through a medium (such as speech, writing, or non-verbal cues) in order to share thoughts, ideas, information, or emotions. The steps involved in the communication process are:
1. Sender: The person who initiates the communication by creating and sending a message.
2. Encoding: The process of converting the sender's ideas and thoughts into a message that can be understood by the receiver.
3. Message: The actual content being communicated, which can be verbal, written, or non-verbal.
4. Medium: The channel through which the message is transmitted, such as face-to-face conversation, email, phone call, or body language.
5. Decoding: The process of interpreting and understanding the message by the receiver.
6. Receiver: The person who receives and interprets the message.
7. Feedback: The response or reaction provided by the receiver to the sender, which indicates whether the message was understood and received as intended.
8. Noise: Any interference or distractions that can disrupt the communication process, such as poor reception, background noise, or language barriers.
Effective communication depends on factors such as clarity, active listening, feedback, and understanding of the context in which the communication takes place. It is a two-way process that requires both the sender and receiver to be actively engaged and participate in order to achieve successful communication.
