Psychological Model of Communication

The interesting topic that arose from the readings was the Psychological model of communication. It has been enlightening to me in the sense of its characteristics. The fact that the psychological model is learned through exposure has given me the ability to persevere through many of the obstacles that has plagued me in my life, from those being discriminatory or stereotypical. The psychological model of communication confronts a topic that has surfaced as influential in all eras of time within the human existence. Faulty communication occurs often in the public sphere and this is important because it influences the mentality of people’s intent and way of thinking. I feel that each human should be educated thoroughly in this area of study in communication before high school. I feel that this would be as effective as cloning millions of Martin Luther King’s, Cesar Chavez’s, and Marshal Thurgood’s.

  1. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I happen to agree. In fact I think communication studies should be taught throughout a child’s education. I liked the emphasis you used about how to be educated about the psychological model of communication would be same as cloning MLK’s, Cesar Chavez’s, and Marshal Thurgood’s. I get the importance of this model of communication and see how it could help people understand and help them persevere through hard times as well as discrimination or stereotyping. It also might help those who do discriminate and/or stereotype understand what they are doing and the effects it has.
