Transactional models are frameworks used to understand communication as a dynamic process where participants exchange messages. Unlike linear models, which view communication as a one-way flow, transactional models emphasize the simultaneous sending and receiving of messages, highlighting the interdependence of communicators. This approach recognizes that context, feedback, and noise can influence the interaction. In transactional models, each participant plays an active role, shaping the conversation through their responses and interpretations. This model is often applied in various fields, including psychology, sociology, and communication studies, to analyze how relationships and social interactions develop over time.
