How can dysfunctional families be said to communicate?
-
Laterally
-
Sideways
-
Reciprocally
Correct Answer
A. SidewaysExplanation
Dysfunctional families can be said to communicate "sideways" because communication within such families often occurs indirectly or through nonverbal cues. In dysfunctional families, open and direct communication is often avoided, and family members may resort to passive-aggressive behavior, manipulation, or avoidance tactics to express their thoughts and emotions. This sideways communication style can create misunderstandings, conflicts, and a lack of emotional connection within the family.Rate this question:
