What Are Internal Barriers to Listening?

EMOTIONAL NOISE COGNITIVE DISTRACTIONS COMPARTMENTALIZATION PREMATURE JUDGMENT

Judge Who?PREMATURE JUDGMENT (p. 258)

occurs when we stop listening to a message before the speaker is finished, either because we think we know what the speaker is going to say, or because we have already formed an opinion about the speaker or the message.

External Barriers to Listening SENSORY ADAPTATION. SELECTIVE ATTENTION INFORMATION

OVERLOAD MESSAGE COMPLEXITY

What Did You Say?MESSAGE COMPLEXITY (p. 260)

occurs when the message itself is too complicated to absorb without turning your focus inward, and thus away from the speaker for a time.

giving only the impression of listening by nonverbal behaviors such as nodding, keeping eye contact, and verbal prompts.

INSTRUMENTAL COMMUNICATION

Gender and Communication Tannen (1986) proposed male

and female communication differences based on differences in worldview.

Gender and Communication What are some of

the most basic differences between men and women?

See Tannen/You Just Don’t Understand

Problem-solving vs. empathy Men = problem-solving Women = empathy

Details vs. Big Picture Men = big picture Women = details

Asking for help vs. not asking for help Men = not asking for help Women = asking for help

Use of Questions Men = direct use of

questions Women = indirect use of

questions

How Can Gendered Communication Be Overcome to Communicate

Effectively? Acknowledge gender differences exist.

Strive to understand the value system from which these are derived.

Recognize the validity of both styles and acknowledge they make sense in the context of divergent value systems.

Relinquish the need to make others (or everyone) conform to one style.

Share information about differences with others with whom effective communication is important.

Gendered Communication See Activity 9.4 (Gendered

Communication in Your Life) (p. 302, 314-316) to help understand the ways in which gendered communication affects your life.

Culture and Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication is unique to

each culture. See Table 9.1 (Examples of Cross-Cultural

Differences in Nonverbal Cues) (p. 308) for a list of interesting differences in the way certain nonverbal cues are interpreted cross-culturally.

What Are Contact Cultures?CONTACT CULTURES (p. 308)

tend to engage in more open contact with each other and use nonverbal cues to signal warmth, closeness, and availability.

Individualism-Collectivism (IC) In collectivistic cultures, people

coordinate schedules and actions with family group members.

In individualistic cultures, people are more likely to do what they please and meet their own personal schedule.

How Is Power Distance (PD)Related to Nonverbal Communication? High PD cultures encourage emotions

that promote and maintain status differences.

People in low PD cultures are less sensitive than those in high PD cultures to the impact of their paralanguage on others.
