If the receiver is under severe stress, what effect may it have on communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Understanding the message may become difficult
Stress can act as a psychological barrier. A highly stressed receiver may have reduced attention, limited working memory, and difficulty processing or recalling information, so important parts of the message may be missed. Stress does not automatically change the channel or make the message clearer.
