Pseudolistening is a barrier to active listening that consists of appearing attentive in conversation while ignoring or only partially listening to the other speaker. As defined by communication scholars, pseudolistening is an “incompetent” way of listening, as it frequently leads to miscommunication because it does not allow listeners to process what is being said.
