Transmission Model |
Frames communication as a thing, like an information packet, that is sent from one place to another. From this perspective, communication is defined as sending and receiving messages. |
|
Interaction Model |
Frames communication as an interaction in which a message is sent and then followed by a reaction (feedback), which is then followed by another reaction, and so on. From this perspective, communication is defined as producing conversations and interactions within physical and psychological contexts. |

Transaction Model |
Frames communication as integrated into social realities in such a way that it helps communicators not only to understand them, but also to create and change them. |
