TOWARD LIMITING AURAL SCRUPULOSITY WHILE LISTENING

In: Journal of employment counseling, Band 5, Heft 3, S. 88-91

Abstract

Historically, emphasis has been placed on developing verbal skills toward the goal of improving communication. Success, however, has been limited because this emphasis has been misplaced.The burden of effective communication rests upon the listener and is dependent upon his ability to perceive and interpret not only the verbal but principally the non‐verbal forms of expression. It is virtually impossible to understand and help a person without the ability to understand the total communication pattern. The communicant must also be aware that what has a certain significance to one person has an entirely different meaning to another.
