Confirming and Disconfirming Communication

We can respond with confirming or disconfirming communication when we are having conversations with others. Our responses can either improve or detract from the quality of the interaction.

Hi I just want to say that I am a communication student and I always watch your videos and find them really helpful

[@orgcomm]

Hi, Ellen. Nice to meet you. I'm glad the videos are helpful. I appreciate your encouragement.

[@hassn7750]

if you do not mind making two videos: groupthink and critical thinking. there is lots of information out there but it's contradictory and we would like to hear your explanation. thank you much Sr.

Noted.

[@hassn7750]

hi,
what is the difference between Confirming response and group thinking? they seem similar.

[@orgcomm]

They are not related. Group think is when group members prioritize cohesiveness and harmony even though they individually know a decision is bad. So, it's about how groups make poor decisions that are the result of dysfunctional decision-making norms.
