Question

In at least fifty words, explain the listening style(s) you would use, and why, when listening to a friend share about a problem. Remember that your thinking process is important as well as the goal you have in mind while listening to your friend.

Answer 1

Answer:

The listening style chosen is the person-oriented style.

Explanation:

The person-oriented listening style is one where an individual is interested in what the speaker of a message has to say. In this case, the listener does not make judgments or analyze technical concepts, but is interested in knowing what the speaker is feeling and what he thinks about a certain situation.

This is the most appropriate style to use when a friend is telling you about a problem, as it allows the listener to understand what is going on, how it affects the friend and how he can help him.
