The Transactional Model of Communication Journal Entry
1) Describe the transactional model discussed in your textbook. Provide definitions of source, receiver, encoding, decoding, messages, context, channel, noise and effects. 2) Next, consider a time
when you had a conflict with another person. It might be a friend, family member, or co-worker. Analyze the conflict using the transactional model of communication and the elements you just
defined. 3) Discuss some of the advantages of the transactional model when compared to the linear model.
