Provide a 1 page analysis while answering the following question: Willingness to Listen. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Willingness to Listen of the English of the Concerned July 5, Willingness to Listen As suggested by the assignment under consideration, I went to the Willingness to Listen website and completed the “Willingness to Listen Measure”. After calculating as mentioned in the Willingness to Listen website, my willingness to listen score came to be 63, which means I have a moderate willingness to listen to others (Willingness to Listen Measure, 2012).

Well, plainly speaking, a grasp over my willingness to listen score will not have a much serious impact on my interpersonal communications with others. I believe that a willingness to listen to others takes time and energy, both of which are scarce resources. So I resort to varied listening strategies while communicating with others. In some cases I really listen to others with apt attention and concentration. In less serious communications I try to have a general grasp over what the other person is saying, while being engaged in some other task. In some communications which tend to be very general and repetitive, I just pretend that I am listening to the other person. So having a moderate willingness to listen is fairly normal and pragmatic. Practically speaking, one simply cannot assign the same energy and time to all types of interpersonal communications.

Yes, there is no denying the fact that my willingness to listen measure as evinced by the Willingness to Listen website was indeed correct for me. I do extend varying degrees of attention and concentration to varied types of interpersonal communications, depending on the seriousness, utility and importance of a particular communication.
