TYPES OF LISTENING
* DISCRIMINATYIVE LISTENING.
* INFORMATIONAL LISTENING.
* CRITICAL LISTENING.
* EMPATHIC LISTENING.
DISCRIMINATIVE LISTENING
• Discriminative listening is when the listener interprets and assigns meaning to sound
rather than to words. In discriminative listening, the listener interprets the differences and
nuances of sounds and body language. The listener is sensitive to attributes including
rate, volume, pitch and emphasis in speaking. This type of listening is the most basic
form of listening. We learn this form of listening early in life.
• Eg :- Recognition and interpretation of accents are an example of discriminative
listening.
INFORMATIONAL LISTENING
• Informational listening is listening with the goal of learning, understanding, and
grasping information. Informational listening is distinguished from several other forms
of listening, such as relational, appreciative, critical, discriminative, and inspirational
listening. Informational listening is considered a passive form of listening because the
listener is not judging, critiquing, or evaluating the message. They're just listening to
understand it.
• Eg :- attending a lecture, watching an instructional video, attending a workshop, listening
to a news broadcast, or listening to an instructional podcast.
CRITICAL LISTENING
• Critical listening in this context means using careful, systematic thinking and reasoning to
see whether a message makes sense in light of factual evidence. Critical listening can be
learned with practice but is not necessarily easy to do. Some people never learn this skill;
instead, they take every message at face value even when those messages are in conflict
with their knowledge. Problems occur when messages are repeated to others who have not
yet developed the skills to discern the difference between a valid message and a mistaken
one.
• Eg :- Staying away from distractions while listening, Not judging the other person,
Not asking senseless questions to the speaker.
EMPATHIC LISTENING
• Empathic listening is the practice of being attentive and responsive to others’ input
during conversation. Listening empathically entails making an emotional connection
with the other person and finding similarities between their experience and your own so
you can give a more heartfelt response. Also called active listening or reflective listening,
empathic listening requires you to be considerate of the other party’s input. One main
quality of empathic listening is giving support and encouragement rather than advice or
criticism.
