Document Summary

Interpersonal communication is an interactional process in which one person sends a message to another. It is a process involving a series of actions. It is not one-way, but bi-directional and interactional: components of the communication process. The sender person who initiates the message . The receiver person to whom the message is targeted . The message the information or meaning that is transmitted from the sender to the receiver . The channel refers to the sensory channel through which the message reaches the receiver . The noise any stimulus that interferes with accurately expressing or understanding a message . The context environment in which communication takes place . Other differences between face-to-face and electronically mediated communication: social networking sites: privacy and security issues. The primary benefit of social networking sites (sns) is being able to present yourself virtually to an online community: this is especially beneficial for shy individuals who may not reach out otherwise.
