Module 1 - Foundations of
Communication Questions with
complete solution
communication - correct answer the process of using symbols to exchange
meaning
linear model of communication - correct answer suggests that communication
moves only in one direction; the sender encodes a message, then uses a
certain channel to send it to a receiver who decodes the message
transactional model of communication - correct answer suggests that both
parties in a communication exchange act as sender and receiver
simultaneously, encoding and decoding messages to and from each other at
the same time
noise - correct answer anything that interferes with, or changes, the original
encoded message
intercultural communication - correct answer communication between
members of different cultures; focuses on cultural communication differences,
and the impact those differences have on cultural values
interpersonal communication - correct answer communication between
people in small settings, such as a conversation between two friends; focuses
on the choices we make when communicating in informal settings and how
those choices contribute to relationship building
, small group communication - correct answer looks at communication of
groups of people and how group dynamics are impacted by that
communication
organizational communication - correct answer looks at larger scale groups
and organizations to see how corporations, businesses, governments, and
other large groups communicate amongst themselves; an emphasis is placed
on how those organizations communicate as an entity, in addition to how
people within those organizations communicate individually
communication study - correct answer an academic field whose primary focus
is "who says what, through what channels (media) of communication, to
whom, [and] what will be the results."
sender - correct answer someone who encodes and sends a message to a
receiver through a particular channel
receiver - correct answer the recipient of a message who must decode
messages in ways that are meaningful for them
message - correct answer the particular meaning or content the sender
wishes the receiver to understand
channel - correct answer the method a sender uses to send a message to a
receiver
internal and external noise - correct answer in every communication context,
and so no message is received exactly as it is transmitted by a sender
because noise distorts it one way or another
