Question

David has a habit of screaming, "You idiot, you always mess things up!" whenever his brother makes a mistake or does something he doesn't like. Which strategy for creating a supportive climate does David's outburst violate

Answer 1

David is violating the use of descriptive language in creating a supportive climate by instead using evaluative language that attacks his brother's character.

Step-by-step explanation:

David's outburst violates the strategy for creating a supportive climate that emphasizes the use of descriptive rather than evaluative language. In a supportive climate, feedback should be given in a way that is descriptive of the situation and behavior without attaching negative labels or judgments to the person involved. By screaming, "You idi-ot, you always mess things up!" David is engaging in evaluative language that attacks his brother's character rather than describing the specific behavior that is undesirable. It would be more supportive to describe the mistake without personal judgment, allowing for constructive feedback and communication.

Answer 2

Describe your own feelings rather than evaluate others.

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple word, David in the given case is not behaving genuinely and can be seen as an over dramatized individual with severe anger issues. He is lacking the ability to describe his emotions and feelings in a more sympathetic and humble way.

Rather than being rudely judgmental to others David should describe his own feelings that he does liked the act or mistake done by others.
