Describe sender-caused barriers, receiver-caused barriers, and other barriers in communications

What will be an ideal response?


Answer should include points such as:
Sender Caused Barriers — the sender hinders communication when: 1 ) the sender is not clear about what is to be accomplished with the message; 2 ) the sender incorrectly assumes that the receiver has the knowledge necessary to understand the message and its intent and does not adapt the message to the intended receiver; 3 ) the sender uses a communication medium not suited for the message; 4 ) the sender does not develop a mechanism for receiving feedback to determine if the message was understood correctly; 5 ) the sender does not interpret feedback correctly, or fails to clarify the message on the basis of feedback from the receiver; 6 ) the sender uses language that causes the receiver to stop listening, reading, or receiving; 7 ) the sender improperly analyzes the audience; and 8 ) the sender's background experiences and attitudes are different from those of the receiver and the sender does not take this into account.
Receiver Caused Barriers — the receiver hinders communications when: 1 ) the receiver is a poor listener, observer, or reader, and therefore misinterprets the meaning of the message; 2 ) the receiver jumps to conclusions; the receiver hears or sees only certain parts of the message; 3 ) the receiver tends to reject messages that contradict his/her own beliefs and assumptions; and 4 ) the receiver has other concerns such as emotional barriers, for example, being mentally preoccupied.
Other Barriers — some other barriers to communications are: 1 ) noise, temperature, and other physical distractions; 2 ) distance, inability to see or hear messages being sent; and 3 ) sender-receiver relationships, power structure, roles, and personality differences.
