Study and analyze the scheme carefully. Try to answer the questions that follow.

There is always a sender and a receiver in communication. At least there is an intended receiver. In the diagram above A is the sender, B is the receiver.

1. Who is communication impossible without? Can a communication be possible without any of them? Why?

2. Do a sender and a receiver have the same personal realities? Why?

3. Will the same event be perceived by two people identically? Why?

4. Why do the receiver and sender need some common space? What does it include?

5. Is the wish to communicate always conscious (on purpose)? Why?

6. What is usually transmitted across a distance in the shared space?

7. Will the message sent always consist of only one layer of communication? Why?

8. Do these layers always agree with each other?

9. What factors will affect the formation of a concept in the receiver's reality of what the meaning of the sender's messages?

10. Can one be absolutely sure that the receiver will interpret the message the same way as the sender intended it?

11. When B hears the word or sentence, what on what basis will s/he interpret it ?

12. Which words of the list will have wider variances of meaning in the receiver's mind and why? car, table, love, true, right.

To have effective communication one needs to take all the factors into consideration. The different realities, the space the communication takes place in, verbal as well as non-verbal messages, the intended meaning versus the perceived meaning.
