Communicative barriers
During communication, any person can simultaneouslyact as a transmitter of information, and as the one who receives it, and as the one who transmits it through certain means of communication. The communication channel is quite fragile, and the man is his most vulnerable part. Distortions in information can occur for a variety of reasons.
Communicative barriers to communication
A person has his own feelings, as well as his own individual life experience. The information received or transmitted can give him certain feelings. It may be blocked or distorted.
Communicative barriers in communication - this is something fromthe presence or absence of which depends on the adequacy of the information transmitted. The barrier of communication is a purely psychological phenomenon. It arises in the process of interaction between the communicator and the recipient. Communicative barriers in communication can be associated with hostility to the interlocutor, fear of him and so on.
The interference in obtaining information can also beits mechanical breakage, ambiguity of formulations, incorrect presentation and so on. In this case, there are so-called information-deficit barriers.
In certain cases, the recipient of informationclearly hears the words, but gives all of them (or parts) the wrong meaning. Note that the transmitter does not always find out in time that communication is carried out as intended. In this case, a replacement-distorting barrier arises. Distortion can be insignificant. Most of all, the meaning of the original information is distorted when the chain is long (many repeaters).
There are also emotional communicativebarriers. They arise when people pay more attention to their feelings than to actual facts. Words, as well as symbols, carry a certain emotional charge, which engenders certain moods in us, evoke any associations.
Communicative barriers are numerous. Among them are also those that are based on socio-cultural differences between people. Misunderstanding can also arise due to some psychological misunderstanding.
Sometimes the cause is the error withtransmission of information itself - this is called phonetic misunderstanding. Most often, it occurs when the participants of the conversation speak different languages, while not understanding each other. The reason may be hidden in the speech defect of the transmitter, incorrect intonation, too fast speech, too many parasitic words.
Semantic communication barriers can beare also associated with certain differences in the value systems. It's about the problem of slang and jargon. The fact is that each culture consists of a multitude of microcultures. Representatives of each of them can give common words to separate meanings, which will be understood only by a certain circle of persons.
Logical communication barriers arisewhen the communicator uses the logic of reasoning, which the recipient can not or can not catch at all. The multiplicity of logical systems does not contradict reason, but do not forget that when passing on specific information it is necessary to analyze the recipient. Otherwise, you can face a complete misunderstanding. Communicating with a person with a close mind, it is desirable to put everything on the shelves.
Socio-Cultural Communication Barrierscan be caused by different political, cultural or life views of the interlocutors. In this case, it is important who gives what importance to various aspects of our life.
