Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
In communication theory, noise is any interference that distorts a message on its way from sender to receiver. Noise is classified by where the interference originates: in language and meaning (semantic), in the surrounding environment (physical), in the attitudes and mental state of the participants (psychological), or in the body itself (physiological).
Application
Semantic noise originates in language — ambiguous words, jargon, faulty grammar, or a poor translation — so it operates as a linguistic influence on how the message is received.
Physical noise originates in the environment around the exchange — traffic, machinery, a weak signal, a noisy room — so it exists outside of the receiver.
Psychological noise originates in the minds of the participants — the prejudices and biases a communicator holds towards another person colour what is sent and what is understood.
Physiological noise originates in the body — hearing loss, illness, fatigue, hunger, pain — so it is a biological influence on the communication process.
Cross-check
Noise type | Where it originates | Matching description |
|---|---|---|
A. Semantic | Language and meaning | IV. Linguistic influence on message reception |
B. Physical | The surrounding environment | I. Exists outside of the receiver |
C. Psychological | Attitudes and mental state | II. Communicator's prejudices and biases towards another person |
D. Physiological | The body | III. The biological influence on the communication process |
Each origin is distinct, so no description fits two noise types: only one description is about language, only one is located outside the receiver, only one is about attitudes towards a person, and only one is biological. Reading the four pairings in list order gives A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
