THE SENDER
The person who has a thought, idea, or emotion to convey to another person.
Messages stem from a person’s need to relate to others, to create meanings, and to understand various situations.

THE MESSAGE
The thought, idea, or emotion one person sends to another person.
A stimulus produced by the sender and responded to by the receiver.

THE METHOD
The person sending the message must decide how to send the message.
May be verbal or nonverbal.

THE RECEIVER
The physiological component involves auditory, visual, and kinesthetic processes.
Psychological processes may enhance or hinder receiving of messages.
The cognitive element is the “thinking” part of receiving.

FEEDBACK
The response from receiver that enables sender to verify that the message received was the message sent.
Messages are sent and received until receiver understands the message sent by sender.

INFLUENCES
Culture, age, emotions, language, attitudes, and education influence both the sender and receiver.
All of these elements together are called a person’s frame of reference.
The frame of reference may help or hinder communication.

VERBAL COMMUNICATION
The use of words, either spoken or written, to send a message.

SPEAKING/LISTENING
For communication to take place, both speaking and listening must occur.
Speaking rate: 125–150 words per minute.
Hearing rate: 450–800 words per minute. Listening is one of the most difficult skills
to learn and execute well.

then attach meaning to them. There is generally no opportunity for
immediate feedback. Clarity in writing is essential to good
communication.
