Explain the physiological barrier, language barrier, and psychological barrier of communication. Include examples of each

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answer: Physiological barriers arise from a receiver's physical state. If you work with patients at a hospital, their physical states (confusion, dizziness, nausea, pain, etc.) might create barriers to communication. These might be dealt with by speaking more slowly and clearly, repeating oneself, etc. Language barriers can occur due to unfamiliarity with the jargon used in a particular business. In law enforcement, numerical codes are often used to describe situations and infractions, so someone new or unfamiliar with this jargon might mix up some of the codes and have to ask for clarification. Psychological barriers arise from a receiver's attitudes toward the message or toward the sender. In a professional setting where one company takes over another, there may be resentment on the part of employees when the new company imposes its policies and procedures. Being sensitive to the psychological state of the employees and taking care not to phrase changes so that they sound like criticisms of the old ways will facilitate communication and probably compliance as well. There are many other examples that can illustrate each of the communication barriers.
