In addition, your textbook provides six forms of nonlistening and this will be important to evaluate with not only terminology but vivid examples:
pseudolistening
monopolizing
selective listening
defensive listening
ambushing
literal listening
After reviewing them, think of a time when you and/or family members engaged in nonlistening (or didn’t engage in listening, depending on how you look at it). Describe the situation. What was the result of the nonlistening? What could have been done differently?
What conclusions do you draw from this observational exercise?
