Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Metacommunication.
Explanation:
Metacommunication:
- Metacommunication is communication about communication.
- It is the process of talking about how we are communicating, or about the meaning of our communication.
- Metacommunication can be used to clarify what we mean, to check for understanding, or to negotiate the rules of communication.
- For example, if we are having a conversation and we are not sure if the other person understands what we mean, we might say something like, "I'm not sure if you understand what I mean. Can you rephrase what I just said?" This is an example of metacommunication.
- Metacommunication is an important part of effective communication.
- It allows us to make sure that we are understanding each other, and that we are communicating in a way that is clear and effective.
