Which is an example of a psychological barrier in communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pre-existing fear or anxiety
A psychological barrier arises from a person’s mental or emotional state and can affect attention, confidence, listening, or interpretation. Fear and anxiety may make someone hesitate, misread a message, or concentrate poorly even when the channel works normally. A faulty microphone is a technical or physical transmission problem; a broken chair and low light are environmental conditions. Thus, pre-existing fear or anxiety is the psychological barrier.
