Transactional Model of Communication

The Transactional Model of Communication describes how people exchange messages simultaneously, influencing each other in real-time. Unlike a one-way message, this model views communication as a dynamic process where both parties send and receive information at the same time, interpreting and responding based on context, culture, and cues. It emphasizes that communication is continuous and interactive, with both participants actively engaged in creating shared understanding. This approach highlights the importance of feedback, environment, and personal experience in shaping effective communication between individuals.
