Communication Model

Edit

A communication model is a conceptual or graphical representation of the elements, relationships, and processes involved in communication. It simplifies complex communicative activities to illustrate how messages are created, transmitted, received, and interpreted, as well as how participants, channels, feedback, and contextual factors interact [1][2]. Different models emphasize different aspects of communication. Linear models describe the one-way transmission of messages, interactive models incorporate feedback between participants, and transactional models present communication as a simultaneous and dynamic exchange of meaning. Communication models provide analytical frameworks for understanding communication processes, developing theories, and guiding research across interpersonal, organizational, and mass communication contexts.
