Communication Foci Agentic Communal • Instrumental • Problem-solving first • Linear, Chronological; Get to the point • Task-Focused • Troubles Talk: Solve it • Expressive • Understanding first • Contextualizing; Less structured • Relationship-focused • Troubles Talk: Understand it; Talk as a relationship glue
Conversational Rituals Agentic Communal • Speak briefly • Wait turns • More verbal precision • Responsive verbal and emotional cues; more skilled at interpreting cues • Invitational; sometimes tentative (we/let’s, qualifiers, tag questions, suggestive, “thanks”) • Speak more often, longer • Speak first, interrupt • More verbal errors • Minimal verbal response cues and emotional cues; less skilled at interpreting cues • Declamatory (I, declaratives, directives)
