Rogers' Five Feedback Types:-

• Evaluation

• Interpretive

• Probing

• Understanding

Humanist Carl Rogers recorded five sorts of input.

Evaluative:-

Evaluative input makes a decision about the other individual, assess worth or goodness. There is a major uniqueness flanked by judging a man and their activities. An individual assessment of judges the entire individual and infer this is an individual and unalterable property. Contrary individual assessment can be unpleasant for the other individual. Positive private assessment, then again, is extremely complimenting.

Behavioral appraisal judges the activity, yet not the individual. This makes negative assessment less demanding for the other being to acknowledge.

Interpretive:-

In interpretive assessment, you look to test your comprehension of what has been said by deciphering and rewording back to the next individual what you reflect has been said. This is regularly trailed by an inquiry to permit the other person to concur with your understanding or offer a remedy.

Strong:-

In thoughtful assessment, you look to convey the other individual somehow. In adulation, you bolster the other individual's conscience by successful them they are great somehow. With formative steady criticism, you try to help the other individual change somehow. This is not generally straightforward as some feedback might be included. Steady input can be turned around with the conscious reason for damaging the other individual's inner self in an individual assault.

Testing:-

Curious looks to discover more all together by asking more profound inquiries in order to look for particular data.

Understanding:-

At the thoughtful level, you are searching for to comprehend information exchanged, as well as the entire individual underneath. This makes inquiries not just demonstrates that you are listen to the next individual, additionally that you genuinely get it.

2)

Eye contact:-

Continuously maintain eye contact with your gathering of people. However, a man must guarantee that he ought not settle his eyes at one being for over 5 seconds. An excessive amount of shudder of eyes demonstrate the absence of confidence Staring at a man could scare and thus is not such a smart thought.

Outward appearance:-

The face is a best reflect picture of come back once more? A man feels. As a rule it is anything but difficult to perceive if a man is cheerful, tragic, on edge, disturbed, or energized. For the master individuals, it is amazingly huge to deal with his inverse dialect.

Dear All,

Basically after watching the video you need to explain that how Dr. Shahid Masuood non verbal communication was complementing his verbal communication. Your focus must be on three
1. Appearance (How does he appears on TV Program. Is his dressing appropriate?
2. Facial Expressions: While explaining the issue how he reacts. Remember when he said it was for women (he smiled while looking towards the female anchor) and started by Nadia Khan. When he said "Mustanser Hussain Tarar" his eye brow spread for appreciation to him)
3. Eye contact: Is he having eye to eye contact with the anchor? He started looking into the air which means he is recalling his memory.

Hope this will help you.

[Jawad Naeem]
