Question 127595 • * HSA 26-27 US Government
Active listening uses respectful questions to clarify and understand the speaker’s ideas. Asking what they mean, whether they have other facts, which evidence supports their claim, or for examples invites them to explain further. “Did you do any real research?” and “What makes you so sure?” can sound judgmental or confrontational rather than attentive.
