a type of communicative barriers caused by psychophysiological differences in the participants of communication. Such differences include, for example, differences in the temperaments of the communicator and the recipient, often leading to errors in the interpretation of the partner’s actions, for example, the features of the partner’s temperament may be perceived as irresponsible, incapable or lack of motivation. Psychophysiological barriers also include differences in individual systems of information perception due to the predominance of auditory, visual or kinesthetic types of perception. In this case, the barrier arises if the partners do not have the ability to recode the information received in the course of communication in accordance with their type of perception.
