Answer 1

Answer 1: Pseudolistening- Pretending to listen while thinking of other things. Pseudolistening refers to a non-listening behavior that involves pretending to listen to speaker. Pseudolistening is common when a person is giving a boring and dull speech or presentation, and listeners pretend to listen in order to be polite and not offend the speaker. 

Answer 2: Selective listening- Tuning in only when interested in the topic.  Selective listening refers to a non-listening behavior that involves tuning in or paying attention to a speaker only when he or she talks about a topic or matter you are interested in,while tuning out or not listening to the speaker while he or she talks about something you are not interested in. An example of selective listening is only tuning in and listening to a conversation at a family dinner when the topic of discussion is sports (something you are interested in).  

Answer 3: Ambushing- Listening for the purpose of accusation. Ambushing is a non-listening behavior that involves listening to someone for the main purpose of attacking or accusing them. Ambushing is commonly seen in arguments. For instance, if a couple is in a heated argument, where each thinks the other is at fault, both partners might just listen to the other person in order to verbally attack them or accuse them of wrongdoings. 

Answer 4: Monopolizing: Interrupting to focus the conversation on oneself. Monopolizing is  a non-listening behavior that involves interrupting someone in their speech so as to make the conversation about oneself and not the other speaker. An instance of monopolizing would be when your friend begins telling you that her boss was horrible to her at work, and you interrupt her by telling a story of how unpleasant your own boss is. 

Answer 5: Defensive listening: Interpreting innocent comments as personal attacks. Defensive listening is a non-listening behavior that involves interpreting or misconstruing what someone is saying as personal attack. An example of defensive listening is when your mother generally states that she hates messes, and you interpret it defensively by believing that she is implying that you are messy or someone who creates messes.
