Communicating
under stress
Communication, defined by the Shannon and Weaver Model suggest that there is a linear process of communicating. This at its roots includes both a sender of information, and a receiver of information; in-between the two lies the issue of noise. Noise can either be external, which is coming from the surrounding environment, or internal; this is observed through nonverbal cues such as tone and body language. The internal noise that we all have within communication can very easily stem from stress, leaving communicators with unsettled baggage, which they carry around with them; affecting communication.
Money has long been touted to be the root of all evil. This holds some truth in a publishing from the American Psychological Association. In the study they found, that Americans, compared to the decade prior, noticed a rise in overall stress levels, which had risen due to the financial crisis in 2008, however, stress levels are still a problem. The attribution of money issues causing stress has placed other factors to be their major stressors. Current stressors include: money, work, economy, family responsibilities, and personal health concerns. The symptoms reported which stem from stress are irritability, anxiousness, loss of motivation, depression and fatigue.
