The transactional model of communication refers to the continuous exchange of information where both the sender and receiver are involved in the process and take turns communicating messages.

Key Points 

  • The Transaction Model of communication describes communication as a process in which communicators generate social realities within social, relational, and cultural contexts. In this model, they communicate to:
    • Create relationships.
    • Form intercultural alliances.
    • Shape self-concept.
    • Engage with others in dialogue to create communities.
  • The Transaction Model also includes a more complete understanding of context.
  • The transaction Model of communication frames communication as a force that shapes your realities before and after specific interactions occur, it must account for contextual influences outside of a single interaction.
  • The transaction Model considers how social, relational, and cultural contexts frame and influence communication encounters.
    • Social context refers to the stated rules or unstated norms that guide communication.
    • Relational context includes the previous interpersonal history and the type of relationship you have with a person.
    • Cultural context includes various aspects of identity such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, and ability. 

Hence the determinants in transactional communication are Social context, Cultural context, and Relational context.
