What is dyadic communication?

A:
QUICK ANSWER

Dyadic communication occurs when two people are conversing directly to one
another. It is a form of interpersonal communication that refers to the quantitative quality
of a communicative relationship between two people

Dyad means two things of similar kind or nature or group and dyadic communication means the
inter-relationship between the two. In practice, this relationship refers to dialogic relations or face-toface verbal communication between two people involving their mutual ideas, thought, behaviour,
ideals, liking, disliking, and the queries and answers concerning life and living in nature. A sudden
communication between two strangers in the street and not continued afterwards or not having
lasting aftereffect on each other can not be termed as dyadic communication. Examples of dyadic
communication occur between Jesus and Peter or between Socratesand Plato, where dialog is not
only outward, superficial, or mechanical, but instead brings the two people into a sphere where each
person influences the other.
A lasting communication of ideas between two people for long duration of time or of any intensive
duration of deeper impact may be called dyadic communication.

What is the meaning of group

communication?
A:
QUICK ANSWER

Group communication refers to the interaction between members of a small group of

individuals. Quality communication leads to effective group decision making and project
completion. Sociologists study group communication in work and social groups
Group communication applies to groups containing between three and 20 people.
Communication between two people is a dialog, and larger groups are unable to use
group communication effectively. Quality group communication involves a facilitator and
group members with a sense of belonging, common goals and mutual respect. Both
verbal and nonverbal communication are components of group communication.

Successful group communication is essential in a business environment. Many

variables come into play, starting with the seating arrangement. A circular seating
arrangement allows all group members to make eye contact and interact with all other
members. This forms the foundation for a web network style of communication, with all
group members sharing ideas with each other. Sociologists find this type of group
communication arrangement to be the most effective for generating ideas, making
decisions and solving problems.
When the primary purpose of a group is to share information, an alternate arrangement
is preferable. This form of group communication starts with a seating arrangement that
emphasizes the group leader: for example a long table with the leader at one end. The
leader presents information, and group members give feedback.

What is the meaning of "public

communication"?

FULL ANSWER

Entertainment, education and politics are all potential subjects of public communication.
Universities often use this phrase to refer to a specific field of academic study that
focuses on the strategic use of mass communication technologies to reach an
audience. Laws typically regulate public communication differently than private
communication. Other examples of public communication include political television ads
and events where face-to-face interaction occurs, such as town hall meetings and
academic conferences.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Seven major elements of communication process are: (1) sender (2) ideas (3)
encoding (4) communication channel (5) receiver (6) decoding and (7)
feedback.
Communication may be defined as a process concerning exchange of facts or
ideas between persons holding different positions in an organisation to
achieve mutual harmony. The communication process is dynamic in nature
rather than a static phenomenon.

Definition
Mass communication is a process in which a person, group of people, or an organization sends a
message through a channel of communication to a large group of anonymous and heterogeneous
people and organizations. You can think of a large group of anonymous and heterogeneous people
as either the general public or a segment of the general public. Channels of communication include
broadcast television, radio, social media, and print. The sender of the message is usually a

professional communicator that often represents an organization. Mass communication is an

expensive process. Unlike interpersonal communication, feedback for mass communication is
usually slow and indirect.

Examples
The following are some types of mass communication:

Advertising, which consists of communications attempting to induce purchasing behavior

Journalism, such as news
