A student first accurately restates the other person's viewpoint and then expresses disagreement. Which communication skill does this demonstrate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Respectful disagreement supported by active listening
Restating the other person’s view accurately shows that the student listened and understood before responding. Disagreeing with the idea while maintaining a respectful tone separates criticism of a position from an attack on the person. Immediate opposition lacks demonstrated listening, personal criticism targets the individual, and changing the subject avoids the issue.
