If a person says, “I am very angry right now, so I will talk later,” which communication skill are they demonstrating?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Emotional self-control
The person notices their emotional state and deliberately postpones a difficult conversation rather than reacting impulsively. This is emotional self-control: managing one’s feelings so that communication remains respectful and productive. Aggressive communication would involve attacking or blaming someone, while rumour spreading and passive listening are unrelated to the decision described.
