Describe potential environmental barriers to individuals negotiating environments

Personal or psychological barriers: Due to the values, habits, culture, of the people who participate in the communication process. For example: Stereotypes: They occur when we make judgments about a person based on the idea we have of the group to which he belongs. They are generalizations that are used to classify people according to the group to which they belong.

Physical barriers: These are the interferences that occur in the communication environment and that can be easily avoided: Noises or murmurs, which do not allow listening to the sender, radio or telephone interference, the cut of the telephone line when we surf the Internet, and even Poor lighting or inadequate temperature may impede proper understanding of the message by the receiver.

Semantic barriers: They arise in communication due to an incorrect interpretation of the code signs, for example speaking in a language we do not master or using a very technical terminology that we do not know.

Environmental Barriers: These are the ones that surround us, are impersonal, and have a negative effect on communication, can be physical discomfort (heat in the room, an uncomfortable chair, etc.) visual distractions, interruptions, and noises (doorbell, telephone , someone with a cough, construction noises.)

Verbal Barriers: These are the way of speaking, which interpose in communication, by way of example: people who speak very fast, or do not explain things well. The people who speak another language is obvious the barrier, but even sometimes our own language is incomprehensible, by ourselves, whether due to age difference, social classes, level of education and even between two professionals, of different interest. Not listening well is another type of verbal sweeping, when there is no attention.

Interpersonal Barriers: It is the matter between two people, which have a negative effect on mutual communication. These most common interpersonal barriers are incorrect assumptions, and different perceptions.
