Which among the following is not a barrier in effective communication ?
Correctness
Barriers to effective communication are factors that distort, block or delay the transfer of meaning from sender to receiver. They may be physical, psychological, semantic or social.
Competing stimulus: a rival sound, sight or thought pulls the receiver's attention away from the message, so it is only partly received – a classic attentional (noise) barrier.
Snap reactions: hasty, premature judgements or responses made before the full message is heard; they cause misinterpretation and defensive replies.
Group identification: strong loyalty to one's own group leads people to filter messages through in-group norms and stereotypes, so messages from out-group members are discounted or distorted.
Correctness is not a barrier at all; it is one of the well-known '7 Cs' of effective communication (clarity, conciseness, concreteness, correctness, coherence, completeness, courtesy). Accurate facts, figures and language actually make a message more effective.
Hence, the answer is Correctness.
