COMPLETED

, 1. What are the three main components of the communication process? Explain each one briefly.
- The three main components are sender, message, and receiver. The sender is the person who initiates the
communication by encoding and transmitting a message. The message is the verbal or nonverbal content
that is exchanged between the sender and the receiver. The receiver is the person who receives and decodes
the message, and may also provide feedback to the sender.
2. What are the four types of noise that can interfere with effective communication? Give an example of
each one.
- The four types of noise are physical, psychological, semantic, and physiological. Physical noise is any
external disturbance that can distract or distort the message, such as loud music, traffic, or bad weather.
Psychological noise is any internal factor that can affect the sender's or receiver's ability to communicate,
such as emotions, attitudes, biases, or prejudices. Semantic noise is any problem with the meaning or
interpretation of the message, such as ambiguity, jargon, or slang. Physiological noise is any bodily
condition that can impair the communication process, such as illness, fatigue, hunger, or pain.
3. What are the five principles of interpersonal communication? Explain each one briefly.
- The five principles are:
- Interpersonal communication is inescapable. We cannot avoid communicating with others, even if we do
not speak or use nonverbal cues. Our silence or absence can also convey a message.
- Interpersonal communication is irreversible. We cannot take back what we have said or done, and we
cannot erase the effects of our communication on others or ourselves.
- Interpersonal communication is complicated. Communication involves multiple factors, such as context,
culture, personality, mood, and relationship. It is not always easy to understand or predict how others will
communicate or respond.
- Interpersonal communication is contextual. Communication does not occur in a vacuum, but in a specific
situation that influences its meaning and outcome. The context can be physical, social, historical,
psychological, or cultural.
- Interpersonal communication is relational. Communication affects and is affected by the relationship
between the communicators. Communication can create, maintain, or change relationships.
4. What are the three types of interpersonal relationships? Give an example of each one.
- The three types of interpersonal relationships are:
- Intimate relationships. These are close and personal relationships that involve emotional attachment, trust,
and interdependence. Examples are family members, romantic partners, and close friends.
- Casual relationships. These are acquaintances or associates that involve limited interaction and
commitment. Examples are classmates, coworkers, and neighbors.
