 ● GENDER BARRIER
-- Relationships, respect, workplace
authority and education are common
ways men and women are pitted against
each other. This barrier arises because
men and women have different ways of
thinking and communication.

● PERCEPTUAL BARRIER
-The most common problem is that people have
a different opinion. The varied perceptions of every
individual give rise to a need for effective
communication. We all have our own preferences,
values, attitudes, origins, and life experiences that act
as ‘filters’ on our experiences of people, events, and
information.

● INTRAPERSONAL BARRIER
--Intrapersonal barriers are obstacles within the self

co
eH w
that stop us from sending and receiving information
effectively. Individuals have their own preconceptions

o.
due to their personality, education, experiences,
rs e
culture, and values. Not everyone interprets a
ou urc
message in the same way.
