  4. 23. 3 COMMUNICATION STYLES • CHILD- Easiest & Most natural to use- very immature and the least effective. Ex) “I want, You’re so dumb, etc” • Whining, Yelling, Not Listening, Ordering • PARENT-This style has NOTHING to do with age or being a father/mother. Directs behaviors- gets someone to comply and gets the point across. Ex) Giving instructions, demanding, punishing, “Lend me a dollar. Mom, get me a cookie!” • ADULT-Highest level and most desirable/effective. Open, two-way communication, trusting others, respecting opinions, controlling emotions. Ex) Think of one you have had 

  11. Comic Version II • Write a comic (next to the one from yesterday) using the same characters. This set must also show at least 3 scenes and needs to be about one of the 3 communication styles (child, parent, adult)

  12. Methods of Expressing Emotion/Communicating • Passive: • Characteristics: Blushes when someone looks his/her way. Agrees with EVERYONE. “Yes, you’re right” “I agree.” • Buys from every door-to-door salesman • Uses phrases like “They say” • Takes blame • Makes others feel guilty by letting others walk all over them • Often apologizes in a conversation

  13. Aggressive • Tells others what he/she wants and then talks them into it • Gets angry when someone disagrees • Rams opinions down people’s throats • Demands for explanations • Very critical • Must be in charge • Gets even with sarcasm • Listens by interrupting

  14. Assertive • Buys only what they need • States opinion matter of factly • Negotiates and compromises • Smiles frequently • Takes credit when it’s due • Can admit he/she is wrong • Cooperates well with others • Listens when others speak

  15. Implications • Of the three types, which is the most successful? • What type of person would you want to communicate with? • What kind of communicator are you?

  16. Communication Techniques

  17. There are 3 types of communication: • Constructive • Destructive • Non-verbal

  18. Constructive Communication • This contributes to a meaningful exchange of ideas and/or leads to understanding.

  19. Examples are: -Giving positive or encouraging messages -Asking questions -Sending clear, concise messages -Being honest and open -Keeping the confidences of other people -Speaking with respect -Using tact- (communicating something sensitive without hurting or offending) -Being a good listener

  20. Destructive Communication This is talk that “hurts.” Some messages discourage rather than encourage helpful or constructive communication.

  21. Examples are: -Insults, harassing, teasing -Gossip, lies, blaming and accusing -“You” messages -Sexual Harassment -Threatening -Sarcasm- (when a person says one message, but nonverbal expressions and the tone of voice send another message) -Interrupting or dominating the conversation -Swearing

  22. Non-Verbal: • Nonverbal communication is the way a person expresses him/herself through movement, posture, and facial expression. It is possible to send one type of verbal message and at the same time, a different type with body language. Nonverbal communication is VERY powerful and can often be misinterpreted.

  23. What are some examples of non-verbal communication?

  24. Communication Tip #1 • Use “I” messages! - I feel ~ makes you responsible for the statement • When ~ Describes the situation • Because ~ tells why you feel the way you do (This really works!! You should try it!)

  25. Tip #2 • Be clear - Say what you mean and mean what you say!

  26. Tip #3 • Ask questions • If you are not clear on what someone is saying….ASK QUESTIONS!! • Restate what someone has said to make sure that you really did understand what they said. “S0 you are feeling sad because…”

  27. Tip #4 • Be a good listener - Studies indicate that 60 percent of the time that you communicate is spent listening! If you are a poor listener you are a poor communicator.

  28. How can you let people know you are listening?
