Читать книгу An Introduction to Intercultural Communication - Fred E. Jandt - Страница 76

LaRay M. Barna (1997) developed a list of six barriers to effective and appropriate intercultural communication: anxiety, assuming similarity instead of difference, ethnocentrism, stereotypes and prejudice, nonverbal misinterpretations, and language. Her categories of barriers are used here when discussing problems that can arise in intercultural encounters. The first four kinds of barriers are discussed in this chapter. Nonverbal misinterpretations and language are discussed separately in following chapters. Taking these common mistakes into account can help you improve your intercultural communication skills.
