Contextual and Theoretical Studies Level 5 Week 8:Communication Theory2


Last week we looked at three communication theories out of the seven that are known and this week we went further with knowing the further four theories and we looked at Rhetorical, Socio-Psycological, Socio-Cultural and Critical theories.


Rhetorical-this theory is one which provides much more of a viewpoint on the communcation process and is a process which isn't a single one but is a circular process in one which when sent a message you will get a reply and even forwarding particular messages to others thus creating a process which carries on.

Socio-Psychological-this theory is the scientific understanding of how the thought, behaviour and feelings of people are influenced by other peoples presence through actual, imagined and implied presence. e.g. From someone thinking of another person doing a terrible act influences you behaviour or thought towards that person.

Socio-Cultural-this theory revolves around how society contributes towards individuals development from teacher to student. e.g. A student developes by being around a teacher someone intellectual to teach the student and the students society developes them with cultural beliefs being and strong point or a negative one.


Critical-this theory is an understanding of being criticised and allowing negative feedback to be a form of positive feedback.
