THE SIX ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION

SENDER

“this represents the source, the speaker, or the person who creates, encodes, and transmits the message.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)

​

MESSAGE

“this refers to the ideas, feelings, perceptions, values, beliefs, or opinions conveyed by the speaker to the receiver.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)

​

CHANNEL

“this serves as the vehicle or medium used in transmitting messages or ideas.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)

​

WRITTEN MEDIA (anything written)

VERBAL MEDIA (anything spoken)

NON-VERBAL MEDIA (gestures, facial expressions, body positions, clothing, etc.)

NOISE / BARRIERS

“this pertains to something that can distort the sending and receiving of messages.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)

PHYSICAL BARRIER – anything in the environment that makes it difficult to hear or listen. (e.g. environmental / background noise)

PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIER – emotions, mood, knowledge, or other mechanisms within the speaker that impedes the speaker’s ability to express and to understand the message clearly.

SEMANTIC BARRIER – the ability of the receiver to understand the meaning of the words.

PSYCHOSOCIAL BARRIER – related to the receiver’s background, perception, values, biases, needs, and expectations.

RECEIVER

“the individual or individuals to whom the message is directed.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)

FEEDBACK / RESPONSE

“the key component in the communication process; allows the sender to evaluate and respond to the message.” (Hermosa, Hernandez, and Vergara, 2016)
