The first is cognitive constraints. Cognitive constraints are the frames of reference or worldviews that provide a backdrop into which all new information is compared or entered. It is how people see the world based on their past experiences, such as education, area of origin, religion, and socioeconomic status. The second factor is behavioral constraints. Each culture has its own rules about correct behavior, which influence verbal and nonverbal communication. This means whether one looks the other person in the eye or not; if you openly say what you mean or talk about the issue; how close people are when speaking, all these and many more are rules of politeness that differ from culture to culture. The third factor is emotional constraints. Different cultures regulate the manifestation of emotions differently. Some cultures become very emotional when discussing an issue. They scream, cry, openly show their anger, fear, frustration and other feelings. Other cultures try to keep their emotions hidden, exhibiting or sharing only the rational or factual aspects of them
