Description
Define and describe how communication can enhance self-esteem. Why is self-awareness such a critical skill for improving self-esteem? Within the various models of communication described in your text, there are a few standard components (source, receiver, channel, context, and noise). Think about experiences you have had with noise (or interference) in the communication process. Write a unique example of noise for each of the other components in the communication model (sender, receiver, channel, and context). These four examples can be from different real-life communication situations, but they need to be different from the examples in the textbook. Select one of the four examples you provided and indicate how you could reduce or eliminate the noise. Metacommunication management is a three-step process. This includes anticipatory, adaptive, and reflective metacommunication. Which part of the metacommunication (anticipatory, adaptive, or reflective) process do you think you implement best? Which one do you feel you could improve? Give specific examples. Describe the five characteristics of communication. Of these, which do you believe has the most effect on your anticipatory metacommunication? Why? Give specific examples. DECIDE is the acronym used to remember the six basic steps that you must consider when you make communication decisions. Step 1 of DECIDE is to define the communication goal. Why would it be important, especially in an interpersonal communication situation, to define the communication goal? Use at least three specific key terms from this lesson in your explanation.
