kommunikasjonsavbrudd

Kommunikasjonsavbrudd, also known as communication breakdown, refers to a situation where the intended message is not successfully transmitted or understood between two or more parties. This can occur at various stages of the communication process, including encoding, transmission, decoding, and feedback. Causes are diverse and can stem from technical issues like signal loss or equipment malfunction, or from interpersonal factors such as misunderstandings, language barriers, differing cultural norms, emotional interference, or lack of attention.

The consequences of communication breakdown can range from minor inconveniences to significant problems, depending on the context. In professional settings, it can lead to errors, delays, decreased productivity, and damaged relationships. In personal relationships, it can cause frustration, conflict, and a sense of alienation. Effective communication relies on clarity, active listening, and appropriate channels. When breakdowns occur, it is often necessary to identify the root cause and implement strategies to re-establish clear and effective communication, such as rephrasing, asking clarifying questions, or choosing a different communication method. The feedback loop, where the receiver confirms understanding, is crucial for preventing and addressing communication avbrudd.
