Question 3

Some listening researchers say that the listening process requires a response and others say that listening stops with the comprehension.Take a position and argue it within the context of the transactional communication model.

Accepted Answer

In the context of the transactional communication model, I would argue that the listening process requires a response. The transactional communication model emphasizes the dynamic and interactive nature of communication, where both parties are simultaneously sending and receiving messages. In this model, communication is not simply a one-way process of sending and receiving information, but rather a continuous exchange of messages where both parties are actively engaged.

When it comes to listening, it is not enough to simply comprehend the message being communicated. True listening involves not only understanding the message, but also providing a response to indicate that the message has been received and understood. This response can take many forms, such as asking clarifying questions, providing feedback, or offering a verbal or nonverbal acknowledgment of understanding.

Furthermore, in the transactional communication model, the feedback loop is essential for effective communication. Without a response from the listener, the sender may not know if their message has been received and understood, leading to potential misunderstandings and miscommunication. By actively responding to the message, the listener can confirm their understanding and provide the sender with the necessary feedback to ensure that the communication process is successful.

In conclusion, within the context of the transactional communication model, the listening process requires a response in order to facilitate effective communication. Without a response, the communication process is incomplete and the potential for misunderstandings is increased. Therefore, I believe that listening does not stop at comprehension, but rather requires an active response to ensure successful communication.
