UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Psychological barriers arise from internal emotional or attitudinal states that interfere with message reception. When a student has a strong negative attitude toward a subject, they may ignore explanations, daydream or resist participation, blocking effective communication and learning.

Option A:
Option A shows a physical noise barrier caused by environmental conditions, not an internal psychological state.

Option B:
Option B correctly identifies a barrier based on attitude and motivation; the problem lies in the student’s mindset, which filters out or distorts incoming messages from the teacher.

Option C:
Option C describes a technical barrier in the channel, related to audio equipment failure rather than emotions.

Option D:
Option D is another technical barrier involving visual aids, not a psychological obstacle.
