Nestačí jen „slyšet“
Umíte skutečně naslouchat, nebo jen čekáte, až budete moci mluvit? Naslouchání není jen pasivní příjem informací: je to biologicky i psychologicky náročný proces, který vyžaduje vnímání, pozornost, empatii a v neposlední řadě i konkrétní komunikační dovednosti.
Monografie Marie Herynkové a Jany Marie Havigerové propojuje teorii aktivního naslouchání v tradici Carla Rogerse se současnými modely procesu naslouchání, s neurovědními vysvětleními náročnosti tohoto procesu a zejména s vlastním kvaziexperimentálním výzkumem 74 studentů učitelství. Sedmitýdenní trénink byl sledován pomocí dotazníku AEL-S i objektivní analýzy audiozáznamů rozhovorů. Výsledky odhalily zajímavý rozpor mezi subjektivním vnímáním a měřitelnou realitou: zatímco studenti sami změnu nepociťovali, jejich komunikace se proměnila – od defenzivních reakcí k většímu využívání objasňování, k validaci emocí a k projevům empatie, jiný byl celkový styl vedení rozhovoru.
Kniha nepředkládá jednoduché návody ani univerzální recepty. Nabízí odborný, střízlivý, daty podložený pohled na aktivní naslouchání jako dovednost, kterou lze rozvíjet, a kterou stojí za to rozvíjet.
Publikace je určena studentům i odborníkům v oblasti pedagogiky, psychologie a pomáhajících profesí i čtenářům, kteří hledají odborný text propojující teorii a praxi s oporou v empirických zjištěních.
