What is socio psychological barrier in communication?

Answer 1

3. Socio-psychological barriers:

There is one more barrier to effective

communication: socio-psychological which

comes out of attitudes, emotions, status,

source of communication, inattentiveness,

poor retention, unsolicited communication,

etc. People attend to stimuli in the

environment in very different ways. We have

shortcuts that we use to organize data.

Invariably, these shortcuts introduce some

biases into communication. Some of these

shortcuts include stereotyping, projection, and

self-fulfilling prophecies. Of these, however,

stereotyping is more common. Similarly, our

perception or preconceived notions on certain

things also affect our understanding.

Communication fails if there are hasty

judgments, refusal to listen to a problem,

distraction, acceptance of words literally, fear

of criticism, day dreaming, impatience,

interruptions, preconceived notions, switching

off, etc.
