• That's why effective communication is important, and there are four factors that
influence interpersonal communication:
1. Cultural factors
2. Situational factors
3. Developmental factors
4. Physical factors
Culture and communication are inseparable. This means that culture can be a
strong barrier to interpersonal communication between people of different
cultures. Individuals from different cultural backgrounds often carry an attitude
that their own culture is superior to that of others. This attitude hampers
interpersonal communication between two individuals or groups from different
cultural backgrounds. Individuals who are ethnocentric in nature often are under
the impression that anyone who does not belong to their group is either strange or
inferior. This perception also prevents healthy social and political communication
between two groups.
d. WEATHER
Unfavorable weather can act as a barrier to communication leading to
wrong perceptions or decision.
