A student says, “I understand your point, but my view is different.” Which communication style does this show?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Assertive style.
Assertive communication allows a person to express a different opinion clearly while respecting the other person’s right to have a view. The statement first acknowledges the other point and then presents disagreement politely. Passive communication may hide one’s own view, while aggressive communication attacks or dominates the other person. The sentence is neither disorganised nor insulting.
