Explain how psychological size can affect communications
What will be an ideal response?
Denominating all appearances of superiority, inferiority, or personal inadequacy as complexes has become a hackneyed practice, yet such psychological conditions exist and set up obstacles to interpersonal relations. Psychological size is these feelings that often cause a bad "climate" between supervisor and subordinate and adversely affect their capacity to communicate effectively. Especially damaging to these relationships are those manifestations of superiority or impatience exhibited by supervisors in dealing with their subordinates. Often subordinates will resent having the boss talk down to them and will resent even more a paternalistic attitude. Should the subordinate tend toward feelings of inadequacy or inferiority, he may become especially sensitive to a "hard" approach and is likely to resent it. As a result, he will tend to withdraw even further, making two-way communications with him more difficult.
