Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Jamie can't help but notice and be negatively affected by the interviewer's frown as he explains to her why he left his last job. This scenario demonstrates which characteristic of communication?
Communication is transactional.
Communication is unintentional.
Communication is dyadic.
Communication is irreversible.
Answer:
Communication is transactional.
Explanation:
As the situation described shows, communication is transactional. That means that all people involved can simultaneously send and receive messages. Jamie is the one speaking, answering a question about himself. Still, he receives a message when the interviewer frowns. Since frowns are associated with disapproval or annoyance, Jamie is now negatively affected by the thought that the interviewer disapproves of his answer. Therefore, Jamie is at the same time conveying and receiving a message. Transactional also refers to the fact that the elements in the process of communication are in constant change. Jamie and the interviewer are both changing as communication takes place. Their interaction causes them to have new thoughts, perspectives, and opinions.
