Chapter 15: Communicating

*Interpersonal Communication:
-Communication:
The transmission of information and meaning from one party to another through the use of shared symbols.
-The sender initiates the process by conveying information to the receiver —the person for whom the message is intended.
-The sender has a meaning he or she wishes to communicate and encodes the meaning into symbols (the words chosen for the message).
-Then the sender transmits, or sends, the message through some channel, such as a verbal or written medium.
-The receiver decodes the message (e.g., reads it) and attempts to interpret the sender’s meaning.
