There are several types of communication organization: figure and ground which distinguishes the focus from the background; perceptual schemes which are systems used to organize impressions; stereotyping where people are placed in exaggerated categories that overlook individual qualities; punctuation which determines causes and effects to categorize information; closure where missing information is filled in for structure; similarity where things are grouped based on shared attributes; and proximity where items are grouped based on physical closeness.
OB perception process
- 1. TYPES OF COMMUNICATION ORGANIZATION Figure and Ground: figure is what we notice or focus on. Ground is less noticeable and serves as the background for the figure. Perceptual Schemes: they are some systems used to organize your impressions. STEREOTYPING: after choosing a scheme, you place people into convenient categories. These categories can lead to exagerated generalization that miss the unique individual quaities of a person. Punctution: In this type of organization, you determine causes and effects in interactions and then group, divide, separate, and categorize information. Closure: In this type of organisation, you will fill in missing information to provide structure and consitency. Similarity: At times you group things together because they are similar in size, color, beliefs, shape, intersests and other attributes. Proximity: sometimes you group two or more items based on how close they are to each other.
