Constructive behavior allows individual to communication effective and responsible while being considerate of others feelings and needs. While un-constructive behavior encourages destructive and reckless behavior. It’s self-center, hostile mind reading, poor listening skills and overall un-supportive causing negative affect to general relationships. We all have communicate both constructive and unconstructive; but by analyzing the different key aspect we can be more mindful of how we interaction with others when facing conflicts. It’s nature to be un-productive and destructive but our overall goal is to be supportive, compassion and overall sensitive to others needs and wants which leads to more effective communication.

Perhaps she thinks he wants to distract her from her work so that she won’t be successful. Mindreading in distressed relationships has a distinctly negative tone. The negative assumptions and attributions reflect and fuel hostility and mistrust. The middle stage: once a negative climate has been set, it’s fueled by other unconstructive communication. People often engage in what is called kitchen-sinking; in which every little thing relating or not relating to conversation is throw into the augment (wood, 234). For example, John might add his original compliant by recalling all sorts of other real and imagined slight from Shannon. She may reciprocate by hauling out her own laundry list of gripes. The result is such a mass of grievances that John and Shannon are overwhelmed (wood, 234).
Once a conflict begins, everything that has been stored up is thrown in; the middle stage of unproductive conflict tends to be marked by frequency interruptions that disrupt the flow of talk. Excessive metacommunication is a final form of negative communication in unproductive conflict (wood, 235). Metacommunication, which is communication over communication. For example, John might say, “I think we’re avoiding talking about real issue here”.
This is a comment about the communication that is happening. Metacommunication is used by couples
Children will always need guidance in what good behaviour is and it is the adult/carer role to teach them. Working with children who have behavioural issues as a result of neglect and abuse I often see children acting in negative ways as a way of seeking attention. This is a result of their lived experiences and they need to be taught how to seek attention in a more positive way that allows for less chaos and full of growth. Behaviour of such kind is also an indicator something is not right and they lack the right communication skills or are not being heard. It is important that we try to identify patterns of behaviour or triggers because:
The first four chapters of that’s Not What I Meant focus heavily on communication styles, metamessages, and the devices, signals, and strategies used in conversation. The book also delves deeper into the explanations of these conversational mechanisms, examples of where issues commonly arise in communication, and reasoning behind why we communicate the way that we do. The author Deborah Tannen details how these aspects of communication can make or break certain situations. She also explains that these are common problems, and within the preface and first four chapters there are multiple instances of people telling Tannen that she’d helped them to recognize certain communication failures and make positive changes.
If there is a miscommunication, then people may hold different views of it, that is conflicts and diverges come, which is inevitably detrimental to the personal relationship. For instance, people in the village gathered together to discuss and come up with theories about “just fiddlin’ with stuff”, each person has own opinion, such as new-fangled, electricity, new sulky, or secret weapon. (Just Fiddlin’ With Stuff) It demonstrates that during the discussion, people may have arguments about a topic and their relationship will suffer. Anxious state of minds are likely to appear as well, when Gutteridge entered the workshop, he sputtered about the “Invention” because he thought Frank and John were lying, they were not honest.
Healthy communication means communicating one another’s feelings when things need to change. “The wedding ceremony formally instructs each spouse to love and to cherish his mate; clearly an instruction that requires high communication, not only of information but also of feelings (Senn).”
As part of my HNC Social Care I have been asked to complete an extended reflective account about an incident/ pattern of behaviour at my placement for the subject understanding and supporting behaviour. This assessment has to be handed in on the 21st of May 2013. Due to the confidentiality of the young people at Rathbone and the Data Protection Act 1998 I will refer to the particular young person who is involved in the incident as Jack.
A student named Jamie refuses to do her work. She is constantly talking and interrupting the other students and makes no effort to participate in class. The teacher has to constantly reprimand the student and it is causing less learning due to the interruptions within the classroom. She seems somewhat clear of the rules and procedures in the classroom, but is not motivated to follow them.
* Communication and Language within relationships that establish turn-taking, joint activity, a desire to communicate and understanding of shared meanings of words.

The communication process is used in every kind of relationship. It could be in a friendship, an acquaintance, a significant other, a family, and many more. I found out these processes can be harder than you think three years ago. My father got remarried and I was forced to become up close and personal with complete strangers, my step family. The communication process language in my step family describes the concepts and ideas of the transactional communication model and the social penetration theory.
The category of communication was answered by Steve and Cindy much differently. Their answers did not compliment rather they contradicted each other. The couple agreed that they both were good listeners and they trusted each other but could not always talk to each other because of negative feelings. They also express concern in the inability to express their needs to each other. True feelings are difficult to be expressed because of the lack of understanding. Neither one is satisfied with how they communicate with each other. One barrier to help them overcome and move forward would be to make a decision on how they are satisfied or not and recognize the barriers that are keeping them from communicating.
Communication is an ongoing process in which individuals exchange messages whose meanings are influenced by the history of the relationship and the experiences of the participants. (Adler, p.384) Communication depends on relationships between the people who are communicating, and on common basics between them. Problems in communications between people may arise due to differences in cultures, perceptions, values, and expectations from life.
It takes two individual to build a successful relationship. Relationships or marriage would be a success if the communications towards each other were strong. A strong and loving relationship is a source of great happiness in life. Unfortunately, a relationship that lacks communication can be a source of unhappiness. In addition, being in a relationship takes commitment, compromising and communication skills. Each individual has to share to each other their feelings and thoughts to know each other’s wants, and needs. Without shared understanding and lack of communication, the
There exists a disparity in the communication phenomenon between men and women. This disparity according to scholars can be attributed to the male dominance in the society today and relationship tensions between couples. A study on cross-sex conversations showed that, when men and women engage in a friendly conversation, they do so as equals but they do not play the same roles in the communication. Women tend to ask more questions and likely to utter utterances that encourage responses from the other speaker. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to interrupt their partner’s conversations and make direct opinions and facts to control or dominate the conversation. Thus, the communication phenomenon between men and women is strikingly distinct.
Lack of communication can have a domino effect of problems, starting off with partners being distant and
