Avoiding Defensive Responses to Scandal
When faced with questions about scandal, responding with anger and defensiveness is ineffective. This reaction can hinder effective communication and understanding, as defensiveness can cloud the conversation. Studies show that defensiveness prevents accurate perception of the other person's motives and emotions. It is important to curb the natural impulse to become defensive and engage in calm, open listening.
