3. As you work through your responses, please remember that our cultural
environment largely influences our communication styles. For example, research
has shown that direct verbal assertiveness, linear logic, straightforwardness, and
transparent messages (e.g., “saying what you mean and meaning what you say”) are
characteristic of low-context communication styles common in individualistic
cultures. Silence, non-verbal cues and behaviors (e.g., reading between the lines),
spiral or fuzzy logic, and self-humbling tone are characteristic of high-context
communication styles common in collectivistic cultures.
However, it is important to keep in mind the relative nature of the cultural
environment when reflecting on and discussing communication styles. There are
considerable variations in commutation styles within cultures as well. One could use
direct, low-context communication styles when interactive with one group (e.g.,
coworkers) or discussing one matter (e.g., contract), and prefer indirect, highcontext communication styles when interacting with a different group (e.g., family)
or discussing a different matter (e.g., personal relationships). For instance, we
cannot assume that a German person will automatically communicate using lowcontext communication styles, while a person from Japan will automatically use
high-context communication styles.
The best strategy is to observe each particular person within each particular
communication context and figure out what communication styles they might be
using based on the characteristics of low-context communication styles (e.g., direct
verbal assertiveness, linear logic, straightforwardness, etc.) and high-context
communication styles (e.g., non-verbal cues, self-humbling tone, etc.). Then you can
adjust your own communication styles to best encode messages that you’d like your
communication counterparts to receive and adjust your interpretations of your
counterparts’ messages to better understand the meaning they are trying to
transmit to you in their messages.
