Environmental Factors
Environmental factors are a barrier because the environment can have an affect on the way we receive messages. An example of this could be that there is background noise from a local building site. We can close any windows to help block any noises that can be heard as this may effect the style of communication.
If we were trying to talk to a friend or relative in a house, we may experience some environmental factors and may want to combat this by trying to block background noises by either moving to a different spot where the noise isn’t as bad, or even just closing the windows. We may also want to try and keep the temperature of a room so that it is not too warm as this can be a barrier of communication and can be easily solved by opening the windows to let air in or else simply not turning on the heating.
Emotional Factors
Emotional factors can have an impact on communication because of the way we receive messages. An example of this may be that some people may get angry all of a sudden because of someone’s body language. These factors can effect the way a person may communicate as they may feel that nobody is listening and may just want to forget about what message they are trying to get across.
Emotional factors that can affect communication for example may be your body language, you may not even realized that if you are slouched in a chair you are showing people that you don’t care and don’t want to listen to a lecturer for example. If you where to get angry all of a sudden for no apparent reason this may also be a barrier to communication as you are making someone else feel very uncomfortable and scared to speak out. To overcome these factors you would need to calm down and relax and listen to what others have to say as well as smiling and nodding regulary to encourage them to speak.
Hearing Disabilities
Hearing disabilities can have an impact on communication because on the way we receive messages. An example of this may be that someone who is deaf cannot interpret a message that is being sent.
If you suffer from any hearing disabilities you can still communicate with many others by using sign language to communicate by using your hands to make signals. You can also communicate to other people by writing notes and phrases on a piece of paper to communicate with other people as they are able to interpret from the paper
