If the receiver forms a negative opinion about a message before understanding it, which communication barrier is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Prejudice barrier
A prejudice barrier is a psychological barrier in which a receiver judges the speaker or message through a pre-existing belief instead of considering its actual meaning fairly. That judgment may cause selective listening or rejection before comprehension. Physical barriers involve noise or distance, language barriers involve vocabulary or language differences, and technical barriers involve equipment or connectivity.
