Michel Argyle is the man who proposed the theory of the communication cycle. The communication cycle is a theory of how people communicate with one another. Argyle believed that the cycle applies every time we communicate with someone, and thought that we all go through each one of thee staged without knowing that we are. It is called a communication ‘cycle’ because it continually takes place as long as you are communicating with another person.
1. Ideas Occur- This stage is where you think of something which you want to communicate with another person, there are numerous purposes for communication.
2. Message Coded- This is when you are in the process of thinking about how you are going to say what you are thinking. It is when you decide in

what form your message will be delivered. 3. Message Sent- This is how exactly you send your message, it could be through speech, signing or writing it. 4.
Message Perceived- The other person has to sense your message, they do this by the signs you give off through body language, they may hear your words.
5. Message Decoded- The person who you are conversing with has to analyse your message, this is not always an easy job as the other person can make assumptions about your words and body language, so it is common for messages to be taken in a different way to how it has been intended.
6. Message Understood- If you have communicated in a clear way, and the other person has been listening and there are no barriers to the communication then they should be able to understand your message and respond with an answer.
Tuckman’s Group Interactions
This theory was suggested in 1965 and describes how groups do through a number of different stages whilst communicating.
Forming → Storming → Norming → Performing
After the theory had been suggested, Tuckman added another stage- adjourning. This added stage states what happens when interaction between groups comes to an end.
Forming → this is when everyone in the group comes together to figure out what they are going to do.
Storming → this is when people come together and discuss the opinions and ideas of all people involved. They discuss what is best for the
situation. Norming → this is when final decisions of what is going to happen are said, including plans, rules and what is going to happen. Performing → this is when all of the people collaborate and work together, carrying out what they discussed. Adjourning → this is the final part of the group interactions when the interaction comes to an end. The initial aim of the discussion is achieved and the group break apart to carry out their individual jobs.
One the message has been received and understood, the cycle can repeat by the second person replying or responding. Repetitions of the communication cycle are an important part of our relationships, and occur every time we have a conversation. For many people the communication cycle will work correctly where the message is received and understood and they can carry out normal conversations or any tasks that have been set. But the communication cycle can have barriers where the message may not be received or could be misinterpreted. One of these barriers is if somebody was deaf and somebody was trying to give them a message they would not be able to receive the message because they would not be able to hear it, to overcome this we could use sign language so this means that they will be able to read what you are saying by the actions you are making and this will complete the communication cycle.
The Tuckmans theory is a model which includes the 4 stages which are: forming, storming, norming and performing, the stages are used to explain how a team is formed. The 4 stages suggest that as the stages go by, individuals in the team will start to develop maturity to work with each other and the ability to communicate without a struggle. The model also suggests that the relationship between the team members would be established and the responsibility of each member would be clear as the leader changes the leadership style.
One model for understanding group development is the five-stage group development model which states that groups go through five stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (Gibson, el at., 2009). In addition, the model suggests that groups can be in several stages at one time and do not have to move through the stages linearly (Gibson, el at., 2009). While this model has been widely used by individuals, in the study of group dynamics, there is no imperial evidence that this model accurately describes group development (Tuckman & Jensen, 2010). In addition, there is some concern that the model is to static and unrealistic in its explanation of group formation (Gibson, el at., 2009). Another model for group development is the punctuated equilibrium model that suggests that there are only three phases (Gibson, el a...
Sometimes it happens that the listener is lost in some other thoughts and is not able to receive the information or message. The thoughts can be having some earlier memories or may be some future plans, due to this the present ideas are not listened and the message is lost.
Understanding communication is much more complex than just listening to someone talk. It is similar and unique all at the same time. People communicate with not only their words but also with their body and the tone of their voice. Communication is heard or understood through personal filters and beliefs. In order to understand communication you must first learn to understanding your own and others methods of communication, what makes communicating effective and ineffective, and then apply personal experiences to build a deeper level of knowledge.
First, the medium through which a message is experienced shapes the user’s perception of the message. Secondly, a medium can be the message itself if it is delivering content that would otherwise be impossible to access.
message being conveyed can easily be lost or taken out of context. In order for
Having now completed my group work task, I can look back and reflect upon the process that my group went thought it get to the presentation end point. Firstly my group had to form (Kottler, Englar-Carlson 2010 p.93). There are many theories on how groups come together and the stages they go though. Tuckman is a commonly used theories due to the simple nature of his five stage theory. Tuckman believes that in order for a group to form they must go through his five stages: forming, storming, norming and performing (Tuckman 1965 p.17). In 1977 along side Jensen Tuckman added mourning to his process.
Communication is the simple “process of acting on information,” but communication is a lot more complex than that. Communication comes in varies categories and can be misunderstood if the message is not clear. Verbal and non-verbal communication is a great example where an issue can occur—if the source transmits a message that is not very well developed, then the receiver might interpret the message in a different context than originally intended. In my experience, verbal and non-verbal communication can be misinterpreted quite often. Texting is the most common abstract form of verbal communication—when someone responds with a single word like, “ok, or cool” to a very long text message, that
Communication is an important aspect of processing and transferring information in our society. The important entities needed for a successful communication includes; a sender, receiver, message and feedback. First, the sender is a person or entity that is sending information to the receiver. After receiving the message, the receiver will attempt to decode the message and prepares a proper response (feedback). Communication is an essential part of our daily interactions; it can be seen used in businesses, for pleasure, sports, education and many more activities.
The more you understand other people, the better you'll be able to effectively communicate with them. The most effective way to make your message heard in order for others to effectively understand it is often just a matter of showing the recipient of your message that you care about what they have to say!
Understanding is an important principle of communication. Decoding is the process where the receiver understands and connects meaning to a message. Before sending information, the sender first has to encode the message first. Encoding is where the sender decides correct words and the best channel to use in conveying the message that will make it understandable by the intended receiver. However, this does not mean that the recipient will correctly understand the message as intended by the initial sender. Although other principals involved in communication attention, retention, and action are equally important but understanding is the most important. Therefore, decoding the message is an important process in communication. “The effectiveness of communication depends on how much the receiver’s decoding matches the sender’s message.” 2For this reason, understanding is the most important principle of communication process.
A message is successful only when both the sender and the receiver perceive it in the same way. The meaning generated by the receiver can be different from the sender’s intended message.
Ever wonder why a message that seems clear to us is not comprehended by someone else the way we think it should be. How can something we think is stated so clearly become misunderstood that the person we are stating the message to becomes confused? Let’s examine the definition of the word communication. Defined by the freedictionary.com, communication is the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. Merriam-Webster, defines communication as an act or instance of transmitting and, an exchange of information. Simply stated we are sending a message to the person who is receiving it. The idea we want to send should be clear to the person who is receiving the message, but that is not always the case.
Successful Communication is the conveying and understanding of a message from one person to another. For communication to be effective, the meaning must be easily understood. An individual 's communicative success relies on factors that include speaking, reading, listening, and reasoning skills. Forms of communication include verbal and non-verbal, as well as, one way and two ways.
