Perception involves attending, organizing, and interpreting. Perception impacts communication. Attending, organizing, and interpreting have specific definitions, and each is impacted by multiple variables.

Expectations Third, the expectations that we hold can impact the way we make sense of other people’s behaviors.

Assumptions Fourth, there are assumptions about human behavior

Relational Satisfaction Fifth, relational satisfaction will make you see things very differently.

Anything that interferes with the message is called noise. Noise is anything that hinders or distorts the message. There are four types of noise. The first type is physical noise. The second type of noise is psychological noise. psychological noise is difficult to see or understand because it happens in the other person’s mind. third type of noise is semantic noise, which deals with language. jargon, accents, or language us The fourth and last type of noise is called physiological noise. receiver’s body interferes or hinders the acceptance of a message

The context or situation where communication occurs and affects the experience is referred to as the environment. won’t talk to your boss the same way you would talk to your best friend. (An exception might be if your best friend was also your boss).

Feedback is the response to the message. if the receiver understood the message, then it is positive feedback. receiver did not understand the message, then it is negative feedback. Positive feedback does not mean that the receiver entirely agrees We might correct our words and change how we communicate based on our internal feedback. ambiguous feedback might include saying “hmmm” or “interesting.”

The channel is the medium in which we communicate our message. The channel is the medium in which you learn about information. cell phones act as many different channels of communication at once. message impacts which channel they might use.

Messages include any type of textual, verbal, and nonverbal aspects of communication, in which individuals give meaning.

The receiver(s) is the individual who decodes the message and tries to understand the source of the message. Receivers have to filter messages based on their attitudes, beliefs, opinions, values, history, and prejudices.

three things: (1) The person’s ability to reward or punish us, (2) the degree to which they meet or violate our social expectations, and (3) whether we expect to reencounter them.

How humans form relationships by habitually comparing. research focused on the initiation of relationships. heory addressed cognitive uncertainty. Uncertainty Reduction theory emerged. This theory addressed cognitive uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the beliefs and attitudes of another) and behavioral uncertainty (uncertainty regarding how another person might behave) Three Strateries: Three strategies are used to reduce uncertainty, including passive, active, and interactive strategies. Passive strategies avoid disrupting the other individual and can be accomplished through observation. Active strategies involve asking a friend for information or observing social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Finally, interactive strategies involve direct contact with the other individual.
