Physical Barrier: It occurs due to environmental and natural conditions. The communication becomes less
effective because the sender and the receiver are not able to see each other. For example, text messages
are often less effective than face-to-face communication.
Perceptual Barrier: Messages are interpreted according to viewpoint and past experience of receiver. This can
create misunderstanding as the viewpoint of the sender might be different from that of the receiver.
Mechanical Barrier: This type of barrier is caused by the channel or medium itself. Channel becomes the
barrier when it is interfered by some disturbances which prevent some of the elements of the message to
reach their destination. For example, sometimes the voice of a person on a phone call breaks down due to
network problem. Here the channel is the barrier itself.
Gender Barrier: Style of communication between men and women has generated barriers. The speech
patterns and gender stereotypes cause gender barriers.
Emotional Barrier: Emotions like fear, anger, or happiness can create misunderstanding. It could be due
to childhood instances that hold people from expressing their views.

from one another cause barriers. They all interfere in effective communication.
