Alison Wood Brooks: 我从小就对人际交往很感兴趣,尤其好奇那些擅长沟通的人究竟有什么秘诀。成为行为科学家后,我致力于研究谈话的规律,并试图揭示那些看似天生的沟通能力背后的技巧。我的研究发现,好的沟通并非天生,而是可以通过学习和练习获得的。例如,好的对话者能够在深入探讨话题的同时,快速切换话题,而不是长时间停留在一个话题上;他们善于倾听并根据对方的回应深入挖掘话题,就像寻找宝藏一样。此外,提前准备几个可能的话题,即使只是30秒的准备,也能让谈话更愉快、更轻松,减少焦虑和停顿。人们普遍认为好的对话者是即兴的,但研究表明,好的对话者通常是做了准备的,即使这种准备不明显。我的研究还发现,多提问题,尤其是追问,能展现你的倾听和关心,也能获得更准确、更深入的信息。在对话中,要尽可能地关注对方,并设法让对方感到被重视和支持,即使在意见不合的情况下。好的对话者能营造一种合作的氛围,让对方感到被重视和理解,从而更好地展现自我。TALK(话题、提问、轻松、友善)这个缩略词涵盖了良好对话的各个方面,包括信息内容和情感联系。在工作场所等较为正式的场合,可以通过改变话题、表达感激、适度幽默等方式来营造轻松的氛围。在团队讨论中,要善于肯定他人的观点,即使存在分歧,也要在表达不同意见之前先表达理解和尊重;同时,无论在团队中处于何种地位,都要注意营造包容的氛围,让每个人都能自由表达。在对话中,提前准备话题、提出追问以及进行“回调”(将之前的谈话内容与当前话题联系起来)能有效提升对话质量。线上沟通由于技术限制,减少了非语言信息的传递,这影响了对话的流畅性和参与感;为了弥补这一缺陷,人们开始更多地使用表情符号、GIF等方式来增强表达。在沟通中,要关注自己的行为是否对他人造成伤害,并根据对方的感受调整自己的沟通方式。谈话通常是寻找共同兴趣点的过程,如果找不到共同点,就要有勇气及时转换话题,避免谈话陷入单调乏味。 Emma: 作为访谈者,我从Alison Wood Brooks教授的书中受益匪浅,并对她的研究成果表示赞赏。
