A) with content listening, the listener's primary focus is simply in comprehending what the speaker is saying. Content listening should be the default listening mode for most situations. Once the listener has a strong grasp of the speaker's basic message, he or she can move on to higher forms of listening, such as critical listening or empathic listening.

If you are listening mainly to understand the speaker's message,you are engaging in:_________

A) content listening.

The objective of content listening is to understand and retain the speaker's message.  While the listener may ask questions from the speaker, the information flow is mainly from the speaker to the listener.

In content listening, it is not necessary for the listener to agree or disagree with the speaker, approve, or disapprove the message, the listener's concern is to understand the message.  Therefore, content listening is not the same as:

  • Critical listening, where the listener evaluates the message for validity.
  • Empathic listening, where the listener establishes an intellectual and emotional relationship with the speaker.
  • Active listening, where the listener is an active participant in the conversation, which involves asking questions and reflecting on the message.
  • Selective listening because selective listening involves focusing on some specific information and not the whole message.

Thus, listening to understand the speaker's message is rightly described as content listening.
