Question

Sarah: "Tell me all about your weekend! Was it nice to be on the beach?" Rose: "It was awful! It rained the whole time and I didn’t get to spend any time on the beach at all. Instead, we were all cooped up in the hotel room; my little brother and sister were driving me insane! Hopefully that’s the last family vacation we take for a while!" Sarah: "I’m so sorry! My weekend was so boring, I spent the whole time by myself with nothing to do. If you’d been here, we’d have had lots more fun!" Rose: "It sounds like we both had pretty awful weekends and now we have to deal with that stupid Math test..." This dialogue reflects what aspect of communication?

Answer 1

Answer:

Women tend to communicate to build relationships.

Explanation:

According to Deborah Tannen's gender communication theory, women tend to communicate to build rapport. Rapport is a type of communication in which people harmoniously communicate with each other and can understand each other's feelings.

In her theory, Tannen reveals that women communicate to build intimate relationships and connections in a community. This phenomenon, she called 'rapport talk.'

The given text of communication between Sarah and Rose reflects this aspect of communication only, of rapport talk. They both can understand each other hence building a rapport.

So, the correct answer is that shows the rapport talk aspect of communication.
