Why can different people interpret the same message differently?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Differences in experience, knowledge, and background
Interpretation is influenced by a person’s language, culture, prior knowledge, experiences, expectations, and situation. Therefore, two people may attach different meanings to the same words or example. A channel does not have exactly the same effect in every context, and complete similarity between communicator and receiver would generally reduce, not increase, differences in interpretation.
