9. COMMUNICATION BARRIERS

10. BARRIERS
 We may find different barriers.
 The barriers clubbed under common label-‘noise’
 There may be several forms of barriers.
Physical barriers
Psychological barriers
Linguistic & Cultural barriers
Mechanical barriers

11. PHYSICAL BARRIERS
 Four main distraction act as Phy.barriers
i. The Competing Stimulus (disturbance)
ii. Environmental Stress (temp., humidity)
iii. Subjective Stress (ill health, sleeplessness)
iv. Ignorance of the Medium (use of medium)

12. PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS
 Communication depends on the flexible nature
 World made with rigid, inflexible and prejudiced
attitudes
 Reactions and responses depend on the source’s attitude
 Our fast experiences/ frames of references are also
influence.
 Heredity too has a great influence
 Reference group-we adopt as our own
(towards religion, politics, education and so on)

13. PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS
 Self Image- We retain only that information that is pleasant to us
 Self image makes us always defend our point of view
 Resistance to change- new ideas that don’t support our own
views
 Defensiveness and Fear- We tend to rationalize the mistakes we
make
 Fear is the most constricting of nervousness, anxiety and
tension (For e.g. Interviewee’s fear impacts his performance)

14. LINGUISTIC & CULTURAL
 Language is the tool of an expression
 It takes on another meaning and colour
 Each language shapes the speakers
 Language has not only cross cultural, generation gaps.
 But, also political and social gaps

15. MECHANICAL BARRIERS
 Mech.barriers raised by the channels
 Message is interfered with by disturbance
i. increased the difficulty in reception
ii. Prevented some elements of the message
