Learning involves three domains: the cognitive aspects (understanding and meaning),
affective aspects (feelings, values, and attitudes), and psychomotor aspects (physical
capability).Learning basic communication skills involves the cognitive domain; building
confidence through a belief in the value and impact of positive communication is the
affective domain; and putting skills into action is the psychomotor domain.DIF:

b. “Why do I always have to cover extra shifts?”
c. “I am not able to work an extra shift.”
d. “If you can’t find anyone else, I will do it.”
ANS:C

response of others to an aggressive statement may include hurt, defensiveness, or
humiliation. A statement that allows making one’s own decisions is an example of
assertive style of communication; the response of others to an assertive statement may
include mutual respect.DIF: Analysis REF: p. 7 TOP: Integrated Process: Communication
