  2. Uncertainty reduction theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_reduction_theory

    The foundation of the uncertainty reduction theory stems from the information theory, originated by Claude E. Shannon and Warren Weaver. [2] Shannon and Weaver suggests, when people interact initially, uncertainties exist especially when the probability for alternatives in a situation is high and the probability of them occurring is equally high. [6]

  3. Shannon–Weaver model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Weaver_model

    The Shannon–Weaver model is one of the earliest models of communication. [2] [3] [4] It was initially published by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". [5] The model was further developed together with Warren Weaver in their co-authored 1949 book The Mathematical Theory of Communication.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Frank Dance's helical model of communication was initially published in his 1967 book Human Communication Theory. [161] [162] [163] It is intended as a response to and an improvement over linear and circular models by stressing the dynamic nature of communication and how it changes the participants. Dance sees the fault of linear models as ...

Craig (born May 10, 1947) is an American communication theorist from the University of Colorado, Boulder who received his BA in Speech at the University of Wisconsin–Madison , and his MA and PhD in communication from Michigan ...

    Shannon's article laid out the basic elements of communication: An information source that produces a message; A transmitter that operates on the message to create a signal which can be sent through a channel; A channel, which is the medium over which the signal, carrying the information that composes the message, is sent

  7. Uncertainty management theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_management_theory

    Uncertainty is an unavoidable aspect of everyday life. The degree to which it is felt in a given situation varies among individuals. Because uncertainty is dependent upon perspective, "a person who believes himself or herself to be uncertain is uncertain." [2] However, people have different appetites and tolerances for uncertainty. For some ...

    Natural gas futures surged 24% with a cold spell expected across the eastern half of the US. Forecasts call for below-average temperatures on the East Coast and parts of the Midwest for January.

  9. Source–message–channel–receiver model of communication

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source–message–channel...

    The SMCR model is usually described as a linear transmission model of communication. [4] [17] Its main focus is to identify the basic parts of communication and to show how their characteristics shape the communicative process. In this regard, Berlo understands his model as "a model of the ingredients of communication". [24]
