Question

Simon responds to his son's request by exclaiming, "I don't care what you want. You'll do what I tell you, when I tell you, and that's that!" Which strategy for creating a supportive climate do Simon's words most likely violate

Answer 1

Question options:

A. Solve problems rather than control others.

B. Be genuine rather than manipulative.

C. Empathize rather than remain detached from others.

D. Describe your own feelings rather than evaluate others

Answer:

A. Solve problems rather than control others.

Explanation:

In the example above Simon is contrilling rather than trying to solve the actual problem of his son. His son has made requests which he had blatantly replied with a statement that demands outright obedience and therefore controlling his son rather than listening to his requests and trying to solve his problems.
