Question

Mr. Johns teaches high school English. He just finished grading his classes’ term papers and handed them back. Kaitlyn received her essay back and was excited because she got full points on the paper. When she checked her grade on the computer, however, it was marked as missing. Kaitlyn figured that it was a mistake and that Mr. Johns would notice it eventually. She didn’t want to make a big deal of it, and she was sure he would realize his mistake. After a few weeks, Kaitlyn was very upset that Mr. Johns still hadn’t fixed her grade. What type of communication style is Kaitlyn using in this scenario?

Answer 1

Passive communication

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive communication is a way for people to avoid voicing their opinions or emotions, protecting their freedoms, and recognizing and fulfilling their requirements.

As a consequence, passive people do not react openly to circumstances that are hurtful or upsetting.

Rather, they enable mounting frustrations and discomforts, generally ignorant of them building up.
