Select and describe one of Ripley and Watson’s four listening styles.

What will be an ideal response?


a. People–oriented – Listeners are responsible, seek areas of common ground between themselves and the speaker, and are concerned about other people’s feelings and emotions.
b. Action-oriented – Listeners like organized, efficient, and error-free messages. They can become impatient with a speaker and are likely to miss the emotional-relational dimension of a message.
c. Content–oriented – Listeners enjoy learning by listening to complex information and engaging in a dialogue of questions, followed by an analysis of all sides of an issue before determining an opinion.
d. Time–oriented – Listeners begin the process by determining an allocation of time to be given to the speaker. They have a low tolerance for lengthy discussions and may even dismiss a speaker if the exchange has exceeded the time allotted.
