VERIFIED GRADED A++ LATEST UPDATE
Some communication exchanges go poorly simply because we lack the
resources, like time, to think through them carefully. Such less-than-satisfying
interactions are characterized as:
mindless messaging
Perception refers to
identifying incoming stimuli as information must be processed
What communication channel would likely be the best to use for a complex or
controversial message?
face-to-face
What are the stages of the linear communication model?
1: deciding on the message
2: encoding the intended message
3: transmitting the message as information
4: perceiving the information as a message
5: decoding and interpreting the message
What are the factors important to defining communication competence?
knowing what's appropriate, cultivating communication skills, being motivated to
communicate
Any kind of exchange where mutual influence is involved is called
,transaction
T/F
Meanings of messages are subject to the interpretations of the people working

true

Though important for many service oriented fields like travel, hospitality, real
estate and sales, good communication skills are not particularly important for

false
illustrates the most basic components of the human communication process in
which a sender transmits a message to a receiver
linear model of communication
source of a message
Sender
verbal, written, or nonverbal information sent from a sender to a receiver
, Message
intended recipient of the message
Receiver
translates specific thoughts/feelings into specific symbols that can be used to
accomplish the intended goal
encodes
words, sounds, and gestures that represent ideas and feelings
Symbol
the medium that carries the message from sender to receiver
Channel
use your senses to respond to stimuli in your communication evironment
Attend
identify and classify stimuli based on your knowledge, experience, and culture
perceive
communication between and among individuals and groups across national and
ethnic boundaries
intercultural communication
one's ability to choose among available communicative behaviors to accomplish
one's goals during an encounter
communication competence
more inclusive model that shows that the sender and receiver are undergoing the
same kind of experiences at the same time, or simultaneously
simultaneous transaction model
