Psychology of Communication – Between Myth and Reality

Communication is a transaction in which man invents and assigns meanings to achieve its objectives. In this context, psychological theories of communication emphasize different components of human communication, including attitudes, intentions and conditions required for effective communication. In psychological models of communication, the source is influenced by its communicational abilities, his attitudes, his knowledge and socio-cultural system to which it belongs, and the receiver has similar features to those of the source. Also, from a psychological perspective, the message is organized and structured to ensure the link between intellectual and emotional components of the personality of the communicator and the context in which it communicates.
